i am fixin to change oil for the first time. i have 3 gallons of amsoil 10w40 on hand, i got a wix oil filter #51324 does anyone know if this is the right wix?
also about the drain plug..looks like its in left rear of oil pan, just inboard of a catalytic converter that is gonna be real hot? i was "practicing" and found that a 9/16 socket with two extensions will reach..but the sucker is super tight,,i halfheartedly tried to loosen and no budge. should this have been torqued real tight?
lastly..my service manual shows a gasket or washer and an "insert"..is this a soft gasket or a copper washer? is the insert a helicoil or bushing that aint supposed to come out?
