I just completed the 10,000 mile oil change and rotated the tires yesterday.
I used my Pela 6000 to remove the oil but since I had the car jacked up to rotate the tires I decided to pull the drain plug to see how much oil was left in the crankcase.
I was delighted to find that only about 2 Tablespoons of oil drained out of oil pan. From now on I will just use the Pela.
In the manual it says to rotate the tire from front to back with no cross. I checked on the Michelin web site and it recommends rotating front to back and crossing back to front which is what I did. Any harm in that?
One last thing, what is the advantage to having the wheel stud and nut as one piece? It sure makes putting the wheel back on much harder. I doubt if my wife would be able to hold up the wheel and get that first stud started.
