3000 miles later, another oil change. 7 qts of 5w30 synthetic and a Wix gold/premium oil filter. I wish all oil changes were this easy on other cars.
Also, replaced the front endlinks and swaybar bushings. I was feeling just a little bit of looseness in the steering response.
The endlinks were definitely perished.

New Lemforder units installed easily.
The front sway bay bushings are 16 years old and and they are more wallowed out than AO after Taco Tuesday and $1 Conona night.

With the wheels off up front, I broke out the heavy duty wheel cleaner to spiff up their condition. This stuff is very strong, I only use it on rare occasions or on heavily dusted wheels. Gloves and glasses needed kind of strong.

These wheels are specific to this package, the split spokes aren’t too hard clean with a spoke brush, but the crevices don’t always clean up so well.
Total job took about 60 minutes. Autumn has arrived and our weather is very agreeable.
