This may be a stupid topic, but I will post it anyway. I have a 03, with 40k+ miles on the OD and the nearest dealership 100 miles away, and when I change the oil, between dealer recommended 7500 mi changes, it seem like I have major oil leak every time. It smell like oil and oil is all over the under carriage. I think the problem may be the drip pan. The oil from the filter collects in the drip pan and gets slung around during driving. I checked my oil 4 times today, and each time it was fine. So am I properly diagnosing the problem, and will the dealer give me hell for removing the drip tray? Also what after market filters does everybody use? I have wix, but I am looking for something better based on reviews. Additionally is the new 5000mi Mobile the same as the regular old mobile oil. That's it. Sorry for being long winded.
