| I have been doing my own oil and filter changes for 40 years and it is a nice way to get to know your vehicle. This simple task is often done wrong by so called professionals with dire consequences. My dear old Dad is 81 and still does his own oil changes, hope I can do the same.
I did this new Dmax at 500 miles and I was surprised at how the oil shoots out of a Dmax. I put on my Fumoto valve as I love these things and have put on 4 of these on different vehicles. Superb product for sure.
Factory filters are always a bear but I pull wrenches for a living so I know how to get the tough stuff.
I am a millwright which is an industrial mechanic. I still get a kick out of people that think they need the dealer to service the vehicle to keep warranty coverage. All you need to do is keep your receipts for filters and oil. I also do a maintenance log on every vehicle I own and my definition of a good vehicle is one that never goes back to the dealer.
