Changed oil and filter. I had tried to change the filter once before, but couldn't get the filter to fit -- this time, I looked in the filter housing with a flashlight and discovered there were two filters in there! Used a new Wix filter and eight quarts of SuperTech 15w-40.

Replaced brake fluid and power steering fluid, using the turkey baster method. Have not yet bled brakes. Replaced power steering fluid with Dex/Merc III ATF.

Changed oil but not filter. Couldn't get the new filter to fit; the old one is considerably shorter. Put the old one back in. Used Shell Rotella T 15w-40.

Oil (but not filter) change. Rotella T 15w-40. The Wix filter that O'Reilly said is correct for this car is not; it's two inches too long. The old filter is a Mann PF 1050/1.
