First oil change. Yuk

[Jarhed1964]

So, I picked up this 2009 xdrive30 in October and got around to changing the oil yesterday. Picked her up at 98000 miles, sitting at a out 101350. Grabbed a couple 5qt jugs of Castrol edge 0w40 from walmart and a Mann filter from advanced auto.

The oil was black and thin, probably explains the noisy engine. Found a damn Carquest filter in it that was crusty and disgusting. Makes me wonder what else was done on the cheap. I'm betting the oil was some bargain basement brand not suited for this car. Castrol quieted down the engine immensely.

Next is the transmission service and transfer case. Going zf pan and zf lifeguard 6 since it does tend to slam into gear from a stop about half the time.

Trying to figure out why anyone would put a pos filter in a car like this.
