'06 Oil Change

[ohiosrt10]

I'm taking my truck today for an oil change. I've got the filter, but how many quarts of Mobile1 oil should I take with me for an '06? I seem to remember seeing some contradicting information around here based on year, if the oil filter is pre-loaded, etc. Is there any other special info I should let my mechanic know? Thanks in advance! :burnout: :burnout: :burnout:

My 06 QC takes 10 quarts to bring to the full line...

With a factory filter.

Yeah it's very easy, and you'll know its done right. Preload the filter though, it holds more than you would think!

Dealer charges me $14.95 when i bring the oil.

I stop by autozone, advance auto, or Oriellys and find out who has a mobil 1 special for $25.99.

I buy 2-5 quart and oil filter specials for $51.

Then after my oil change i return the 2 oil filters for a full refund of $13.99 each.

So i get 10 quarts of oil for $24. I use 8 quarts and a bottle of lucas. I get the viper oil filter for $12.99 I pocket 2 Mobil 1 for top offs.

Save money big time.
