I am thinking of changing oil myself, concerned about how easy it is to get under the car to remove the lug and drain it? Then the issue of disposal? Worth the time and effort?
Well some guys on here say it's easy to slide under without help but they must be thinner than I am. I use ramps and dispose of the oil locally at a shop. On the 4.8 everything is the same as the E 53 except the filter element has changed ( not the housing ). I send a sample into Blackstone labs everytime I change it.
