DIY oil change for Miata. Use Mobil1 5w30 oil and Fram Ultra Synthetic filter XG6607. Right around 4 quarts to fill. Use a 17mm wrench or oil for oil pan drain bolt.

Car was stalling and bucking intermittently. Took to Tucson Foreign Car Specialists. They cleaned EGR and MAF, reset computers and issue seems gone.

Experienced a slight misfire on part throttle at ~2500rpm and off idle. Changed 2 plug wires to NIB OEM wires, no effect. Changed coils to Beck & Arnley aftermarket units, problem seems to be resolved but it will take more miles to know for sure.
