I did my first oil change today at 3014 miles. I used Valvoline Durablend 5w20. The engine is smoother and the slight tick I heard is gone. Oh yea, the new tranny is really sweet. All is bless south of the Mason Dixon line

 

Nice...was the factory filter on there tight? It was a PITA getting mine off when I did my first oil change..

 

The factory filter was really snug, but it was no match for a filter wrench.
