Bgibb, what year millenia do you use for the oil filter, I might think of doing that that seems better thaN our tiny stock filter
i honestly cant remember....just look at 02 back for the 2l and dbl check the different filters....the one for the millenia is the same diameter, thread just about dbl the length though
well sometimes you don't want to go straight to full syn....
example: my dodge has 135k always was dino(cheap s*** i believe).....it was soo bad i had to replace the oil pump and pick up....i also pulled 2 handfulls of solid and flushed diesel down the valve covers to try and clean it out and break up so of the gunk....which it did......but i'm not brave enough to just switch and have to drop the pan again(should something happen) so with my truck i'm gonna blend and raise it with every change.....which i'll probably be doing about every 2-3k miles just to be on the safe side....

Cool Thanks guys I went to wallie world and bought some seafoam and 1 gallon of 10w30 mobil one and 10w30 syn oil going to change it this weekend, Question use brake cleaner to clean out the egr valve? and another question where is the egr vale at i looked but didnt know what to look for or what the egr valve looks like?
should i really put seafoam in my car...? I put injector cleaner in a couple of weeks ago with topping of my tank... how much seafoam do you put in the ga tank..? i dont want to put to much into it....
Hey check out my new avator pic i took today of my car what do you all think lol bone (stock)lol 
i've used carb cleaner and brake cleaner.....the carb cleaner does a much better job. it's under the throttle body. check the how to section, really east to pull and clean
for adding to the gas take, the can states one once per gallon of gas.
if you let it get sucked into the intake mani, people on here say 1/3, check the how to section....and last time i added to the oil before change....i used just under 1/3
Hey check out my new avator pic i took today of my car what do you all think lol bone (stock)lol
looks good....and i bet you don't stay stock for long
Look into auto rx. Good stuff. i have a bottle ready to throw in my newp55 next oil change.

interior wise.....red might not be bad but go with a dark matte red.....anything bright and glossy would probably get old..... i did matte black cause yellow would be way overkill on the inside since i drive her daily.....
red car.....a dark gun metal would be good, black would be good......bronze might work.....silver is just blah anymore to me....
i'm gonna do mine up black with the lip staying polished or yellow or red.....and i'm using red as a trim.....i did my calipers red and i plan on doing up the vac tubes and accessory crap red along with the badges i think....i haven't really decided yet......
but figure out a color scheme and stick with it.... like if you do up your calipers yellow, red, black, etc....stick with that color.... and then to accent use that color for a lip on the wheels
thats sounds like a plan the only red that they had for interior paint was kinda a bright red on the cap the had a Advance auto parts. but if it was you what color would you do the interior and wheels?I'am thinking bronze or maybe gunmetal?silver is just yeah to dul ha lol..... effing boring lol and lame as hell

for the plastic.....goto wallmart or lowes etc and look at the krylon......tons of colors
up to you man......if you are a non conformest go different......find a friend that is good at photoshop or post a pic up of your car and see if someone can photochop it for bronze wheels
bgibb68 is my hero
i think i'm blushing.....oh wait....i just really like your avatar.....
hey bronze looks really good on some colors.....my yellow....yeah not so much
edit: post up a pic dude
hell yeah bronze wheels on my red p5 would not be bad at all but what color should i paint my calipers red as well? but thinking about puting drill and slotted rotors and new brake pads?
