My g/f has the car listed in title, I just wondered if these s/c's need the oil replaced at a certain frequency? I don't know a whole lot about f/i cars. What type of oil/frequecy/method should be used?

Yes about every 36,000 miles sooner if you have a smaller pulley.

You can get the oil from any dealership and you will need 2.5 bottles to replace all the oil.

The sucky part is you have to suck out the old oil and there is no drain plug just the plug on the snout.

Thanks for the reply. What works good for sucking out the oil? The car is at about 44K miles so it is due for a change. Heading on a road trip later this week so I should get on that in the next day or 2

the best way I have seen is using a turky injector to suck the oil out. Just stick it in the hole and suck it out.

That is the same thing I heard from some other people I asked. Looks like a trip to the stealership and then the walmart Laughing11
