Drain old oil and prefill new oil filter with fresh oil before installing.. smear a little oil film to filter rubber gasket too.

I use mobile 1 synthetic with the mobile 1 synthetic oil filter. Best prices I have found were from Pep Boys in the USA, I am Canadian so every time I drive down to the states I buy 2 jugs and a filter. Also I noticed Sonic Delta car washes do a full synthetic mobile one oil change for about $65 which is about the same costs as parts but then if your pricing it out you are basically getting labour in for free. I have never done this as I just found out the price recently but maybe next time I will.
