How about putting together a "Oil change kit"
for MB owners.

Proper filter + Proper oil and instructions
for each model?

Maybe a "first time kit" with a divice to suck out old oil.

We may do something along those lines. We already have the filters, o-rings, gaskets, etc. We may explore the possibility of offering the "Topsider". I doubt we will sell the oil because it would be cheaper for you to go to Wal-Mart, Pep Boys, etc and buy it yourself...the shipping cost for oil is pretty high. We most definitely will do a "Do-It-Yourself" article on changing oil.

As you might imagine as a new owner, I am a bit nervous about doing “something wrong” when doing a simple oil change. So detailed instructions would be a must. Including a list of recommend oil brands.

Don’t want to void that warrantee <G>
