Post your latest oil change

Oil filter and drain plug are right next to each other, no access panel to remove. The metal oil pan looked and felt cheap to me, almost like tin. Better than plastic I suppose, the 1.2 has metal but the 1.3 has plastic.
Keep us posted on this Trax thinking about grabbing one or the Buick version for my youngest daughter with my GM card points should be able to grab one cheap. I'll take her Elantra as my new beater my current one is 17 years old sooner or later something major is going to happen

Great little generator bought during hurricane sandy moved with me from Long Island to the Hudson valley and now the Carolina’s with me. Only thing replaced was a drying out fuel line and spark plug
I have to agree my champion got me through 15 days no electric after Sandy we took a beating on LI then another freak storm out of nowhere another 12 days no electric. I will say the oil changes got old it's seems like every other day oil change and feeding it gas

Where I live now I’m in a natural gas community I may have a plumber install a quick connect like a bbq type connection on the side of my home and convert the machine over to run on natural gas. But yes the headache of fueling is a nuisance if I knew I had to run the machine for extended length of time I’d run a full synthetic for sure. 👍

Out: Motorcraft 5w30 dealer bulk oil, Motorcraft FL-500

Done by the dealer, because i didn’t want to worry about the bad location of the filter and drain plug. Ford completely messed up with that.

Also installation of new Michelin X-Ice Snow and a new air filter Motorcraft FA-1883
