About oil filters I think there's a company called MANN or somthing
like that. I could be wrong but I have heard they manuf. these
things for oem. The one I use is about $8.00. I am told it is for
the turbo cars. It sure does weigh more than the ones for the
non-turbo cars.? It is a german company and I buy it from my parts
guy. I would not use any additives if you dont have to. You should
use a quality syn. oil like "mobil 1" and change it every 3-5000
miles with a new filter. If you do not change the oil your self,you
should learn how, and find a source for recycling the old oil. Most
good parts stores will have a container for depositing the old.
Also at that time you can look at all the other fun stuff that
could be wrong with your car or not. You know the fluids,tire
preasure,wiper blades,lights, etc. Soon you will be confident about
the car you drive, nomatter where you go.
