Never done an oil change to a car, but hoping to change that. I was jsut wondering where do you guys buy your oem oil filters with the drain plugs/gasket for cheap prices? also, can i take the dirty oil to any shop free of charge or will they charge?

Just go to Pep boys or autozone.They won't have the OEM Oil Filters but they will have other good brands to choose from.Most places will not charge you to drop off used oil.They may just make you fill out a form but thats it.

Dealerships sell OEM filters and I assume oil drain plugs as well. Extreme PSI sell oil drains plugs as well.

If you dont know how to change the oil I would recommend a dealership. If you know the basics very basics then use mobil 1 or any other fully synthetic oil. I have been running royal purple with no issues.

dealership will sell the OEM filter for about 8 bucks, otherwise use MOBILE 1 or K&N from any autosupply store.
you can take the used oil to any auto store and dump it for free. you have to do the dumping though they wont touch your filthy oil. And remeber to wash that oil off your hands or you will get cancer!!!!!!!!!!!

Oil: Mobil 1 5W-30 (full synthetic)

Filter: Mobil 1 part number M1-108

Drain plug washer: Get them from SATAN. They're about $1 each, so just buy 10 or 20 and put the extras in a bag for later oil changes. The less I have to go to the dealership, the better.

let the dude learn, geez. its an oil change, not open heart surgery. if your unsure w/ yourself, print out the 'how-to' read it over, and kinda look at where the stuff is on the car & then do it. just make sure to properly secure the car when its up. As for filters, PM RussellM and he'll hook you up when buying filters (just get a couple and store 'em for when you need them) My dealer sells them for about 10$ whereas russell's price is cheaper. Get the mobil1 from walmart being that its the cheapest there.
