Changed the oil in my garage using a floor jack and jack stands. 18 foot-pounds on the drain plug doesn't feel like much at all, but supposedly that is the correct torque.
Used 10 quarts of Valvoline Advanced MST Full Synthetic 5W-40 dexos2 oil per recommendation in the owner's manual for cars that see track usage. This was oil change #2 for me. It was 2,150 miles since the last change, but the oil life meter was showing 5% remaining, probably because it has been almost a year. My first oil change was at 15-Sep-2018 at 2,157 miles. The car now has 4,307 miles after 17 months of ownership.
Oil filter was the ACDelco PF64 part number 12640445.
No issues. I bought the oil last winter at NAPA when it was on sale for $4.99 a quart. The filter was $6.47 at Walmart. Total cost including CT sales tax was $59.95.
I also captured a sample of the old oil and sent it to Blackstone Labs for analysis. $28 for the analysis.
