Hold the drain pan up off the ground when you pull the drain plug. The I5s like to squirt it out to the side at first.

That has been a great deal for me, I change my oil 2x a year, and only average 3,000 miles per year, I also get mobil1 at the same price on sale.

My tip to the OP, and everyone else that travels a lot of miles between oil changes: monitor the color of the engine oil!

Agree with HUMMERZ on this one. In spite of quality/price paid some “pollutants” find the way into the crankcase. Get it OUT OF THERE!
