What is needed to service a 6.0 ?

[BIG JOE]

Got another question.

How are you desposing of the old oil?

Does Advance, Autozone take it off your hands for free? or do they even offer that service?

Yes Bama, most Chain type parts places take used oil, Wally Worlds do too. You might check with your County/Town/City's Public Works Departments also. Our town has a Very Nice, people friendly used oil recycling site.

did ya READ my post ??

WAL*MART (if they have a tire & lube center) will take it <they have
to take it by LAW>...1st time just go into the tire/lube service counter
and tell 'em you have some old oil to dump...theyll probably walk you
out to the tank (in a cage out back) or point you to the tank...

successive drop offs require less work...pull up dump the old oil in
the tanks and drive away.

My bad bush, completely missed it.

I live 2.5 from a Super Wally World, so that would work out just fine.

I maybe able to get all the stuff from the local ford dealer, seein's how they give me a pretty good cut on parts and such.

When Ford does the oil change alone, it cost me between 70.00 to 76.00.

What would the savings be when I do it myself?

 

[bushpilot]

i can BASICALLY buy enough oil &
filters for TWO oil changes for 75 bucks !

most dealers want 120 or MORE
for a SINGLE oil change.

IVE ALWAYS USED FRAM FILTER AND ROTELLA T, SYNTHETIC IN WINTER. GOOD DEALS ON QUALITY FILTERS ON EBAY. DONT OVERGREASE OR YOU WILL POP SEALS KINDA FUN TO DO YOUR OWN. SAVE BIG BUCKS GOOD LUCK.

Beware ebay oil filters. I have 11 of 'em and if anyone wants them, they are free to a good home. [third time must be the charm, this post still here]
