1.) What make oil filter do you use and do you need a crush washer? I have 9500 miles on my car and at 24% remaining oil life, I think its time for her first oil change.

2.) Does anyone have an extended warranty? If yes, with whom? We've researched GMPP, Costco, and CNA.
I use a Wix 57060 oil filter. I just buy a new OEM drain bolt from Merle's. It's only $7.

No extended warranty. But i knew I was going to modify some internals. That said, I have never bought an extended warranty.

No. I've been running RP for 20K miles. It is not TECHNICALLY certified for use in the car per the warranty. The car, in my opinion, runs much smoother with RP in it. It TRUELY feels like it revs easier.

Oh, and I'm planning on trying amsoil for my next oil change. Not because I don't like RP, but just because I want to give it a shot.

I use a K&N HP1017 filter (can get em at Checker/Oreillys). I like the 1" wrench-off feature. For oil I go with Mobil 1 5w30 full synthetic in the 5 quart jugs from Walmart. I usually drain the oil then run 2 quarts through to flush everything out since I don't need all 10 from two jugs. Haven't replaced the washer yet myself.

We have family visiting from out of state and can't make the meeting. If everyone is deciding on the logo we like the first one Taintedveins put out.

Sean, were also going to the airshow!
