To all:
Thanks for the advice. Due to weather and garage constraints (I don't
have one) I'm going to have Autobahn performance in Peabody do it, at
a qouted $65. That seems steep, but I guess I figure $25-30 for oil
(5 quarts synth), another $15-20 for filters (2), and labor on top of
that, it isn't as bad.
I need to put in some oil before I drive it though, as it looks like
the level is very low (my mistake on not checking it enough). I guess
I burnt through some on long trips or cold starts. It was at an
acceptable level not too long ago. Should I just get some 5w40
organic to drive it to the shop? It's not more than 20 miles, but the
oil level appears to be so low I want to add some before I go. I
don't know what is in the engine now.
Also, the Bentley manual I have shows one filter on the passenger side
of the engine, but where is the second? In the canister in the wheel
well? There is a paper filter in there, according to the bentley
manual, as well as the intro training manual. No specs are given on
oil type. For the life of me, I cannot find a second, external
filter.
Thanks for all the help,
-Andrew
