Oil change kit?

newsmarr · 08-13-2020, 10:49 PM

My dash says it's time for my 1st oil change.
can anyone point me in the right direction for a full kit(oil, filter, crush washer etc) for the 3.0i that will be driven from now through the winter months.

I got it from ecstuning.com

Came with 7 liters washers and bolts paid like $103 with free shipping i believe it was. You can build the oil change kit yourself of what you want or need

If you are that far from a dealer, will they reimburse you for going to an independent?

I highly doubt it

Can vouch for fcpeuro.com

I got my kit there for my 3.0 and they also offer lifetime replacement.

I wonder if the dealer would at least ship you the oil and parts.

I believe you can order it online to ship, i haven't done that. i went to a 3rd party site to get it, same Original parts

I bought this used and it has almost 89,000 miles. On cold starts or after it runs a while, a cloud of smoke comes from the exhaust or whenever the car idles for a bit it will shake and smoke again. Any ideas?

Have seen some drops of oil lately. Can the valve cover gasket cause that? Just not seeing any oil coming from that area.
