Thanks for forwarding this note. I would have to get lots of required equipment like the jack and stands, etc. if I have to lift the car.
Might just let the dealer do it

1.Can anyone verify that this oil and especially Mann oil filter part number are the recommended oil and correct Mann filter?
2. It was suggested to jack the car up and put her on jack stands. I have the correct jack pads , but I am not sure there to mount locate the jack stands on the front and rear.
Does anyone have any pictures of the correct location points to put the stands?
3. Any recommendations on where "ON Line" the forum members are buying the oil and filters? I was going to use fcpeuro.com.
Thanx in advance
