Oil change/Tire rotation today

[BlueOuterBanks]

The 22 Outer Banks needed an oil change and tire rotation today. I acquired my full synthetic SAE 5W-20 from Kirkland signature and my Fram Titanium FS 3614 from advance auto parts.
I’m not a fan of the Jack points. A little tedious. to move the jack four times and no real place to put a jack stand that I’ve found.
Everything went smoothly and I took my time since it’s a relaxed Saturday morning.
Just taking over 20k mi now. Factory tires seem to be wearing faster than anticipated but not bad.
I made a cheat sheet for all the commonly used sizes and specs for quick reference.

Did the same yesterday, the difference being I went to Quick Lane at the Ford dealer and used points to cover the cost.

Mine needs a good bath. Interior too! The dogs keep it nice and muddy.

On my '23 OBX I use a floor jack for my tire rotations. I discovered that by jacking slowly at the foreword jacking point you can actually change both tires on that side without moving the jack. It will actually lift both tires on one side off the ground. However, my situation is different. I have 4 snow tires mounted on the factory rims and my summer tires mounted on Chrome mag wheels. I automatically rotate tires twice a year. Jack up one side of the car and change both tires on that side then go to the other side.

Good service is nice, but so is getting a look at the underside of your vehicle on occasion. Certain issues can be mitigated/corrected far more inexpensively if you catch them early.
