I was going to use Motorcraft semi synthetic for $12. But when I went to Wal mart I found Valvoline semi synthetic for high mileage engines for $14. Also got a Motorcraft filter. Bought them both and this was the first time I've changed the oil on this car and I would like to thank the engineer that put the oil filter in such an easy spot to get to. I had a Toyota once where you had to fight the radiator one handed to get to the filter.

 

-I hear you. These cars are pretty easy like this. My Mother-in-law's Toyota Paseo is a bit of a pain. That and my ol' Ford Tempo. While it's in the front of the engine, it's also wedged between the radiator, starter, and distributor.
