Thanks, I thought it would be OK, but I just wanted a second opinion.

I was delighted to see that the used oil I drained out looked great (clear and light brown, and looked like about a liter or so. The reason I mention this is because the service history for this car is unknown from 1990-2004.

P.S. You guys weren't kidding about the difficulty in removing the plugs, however, I did remember to:

1. ALWAYS remove the fill plug first.
2. Allowing some PB blaster to soak in really good before I attempted to remove the fill and drain plugs.
3. Tap GENTLY on the plugs with a small ball peen hammer.

Yes, I still grunted a bit, threw out my back, pulled a few muscles, etc....
NAH, just kidding... It went smoothly thanks to the tips and tricks I found here in the forum.

Have a great day guys!
