For my first and only DIY oil change so far, I used Purolator L25511 $13.39 from Advance Auto Parts and Mobil-1 0w40 European Formula $6.99 also at Advance Auto Parts.

I did talk to the guys at bavauto about the liqui molly, they had only good things to say about it . And about those valve covers, I think we need a recall! lol. I did valve covers in a X5 last week and it was cake, this will be a challenge!
