Need Oil Change Tips/Info
I am thinking of trying my hand at changing my 2000 durango's oil and filter next week while I have some time off before the holidays. And I'm thinking, how hard can it be? I don't know, but I'm sure some of you have done this, and can give me some tips, help, etc.
First things first, I am not naturally mechanically inclined. I have tools, but most (if not all) are english not metric.
I don't have a problem getting my hands dirty, and I have plenty of time.
Here are some questions that I have:
[ol][*]Do I need metric tools?[*]What brand/kind of oil is recommended?[*]What brand of oil filter is recommended?[/ol]
Thanks for any help here!

very simple to do, like bill said 10-15 mins. first time maybe a little more. dont need metric. 5/8" wrench or socket will do. warming the oil up helps. you'll also need an oil filter wrench to get the filter off. for the filter i went to walmart and got some high priced fram one and just shoved it in the cheapy box lol. good luck

just remember that once you warmed up the oil, that the filter is going to be really warm. Just don't burn yourself, and you're good to go

Look into getting a fumoto valve to replace your drain plug. You will love changing your oil the next time.
