Tomcat0403 Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 My shop just did an oil change on an 05 (not too different) and just to let you know there was no oil filter, just a screen that is inside the oil pump. Its a bitch to get too so they recommend every 12 000 miles. Just use 10w40 i would say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
