My vehicle currently has 11600 miles on it and was the Dealership owner's demo vehicle so I am assuming that the dealership did the previous 2 oil changes.

I use a Mobile 1 oil filter...can't remember the model number right now.... M-104?? I also have a oil filter wrench to getting the old one off. When I install a new filter I hand-tighten only. The first oil change was tough because the filter was on so tight I couldn't get it off. I had to take it a shop for the oil change that time.
