Well I have always taken my car to Ford for oil changes because I can't do it in my neighborhood, stupid, I know. Well I'm at the girlfriends house for a couple weeks and I'm due so I'm finally going to do it myself.
I have always done the $30 Ford change which is semi-synthetic I believe. What do you guys recommend using this time around? Car has about 59k on the clock.
Owners manual calls for what, 6qts of 5w-20 for a 2004 GT?
Do you guys keep the car level with 4 jackstands or just jack the front up enough to reach the oil pan?
Do these cars have an aluminum pan? I'm paranoid about stripping the threads on the drain bolt haha Hand-tighten the filter?
You guys stick with Motorcraft filters?
Sorry for all the questions
