oil to the synthetic to help keep the seals from drying out.
This engine at 120K has never had synthetic before.
I've heard that it doesn't hurt.
If so how much should be mixed in there?

And after trying a hour and a half oil change I want to know if the oil casing is supposed to come out to get the new filter in there or do you kind of just add the filter while is is just hanging in there.

Also I got hardly any oil at all from the bleed valve. I thought I woul get as much as the casing holds, maybe half to 2/3rds a quart but no where near that much.

Thanks guys, your great.
Craig
