not sure whats the different is but price on the 1 Gallon Jug is cheaper.

You need more than a gallon to do an oil change.
A gallon is 4 quarts, you need 5.125 (5 and 1/8th) to do an oil change

do I need the crush washer?

What he said on quantity (5 + 1/8th qts), so buy a total of 6 qts (you'll have enough left over for another 7 changes, making additional 5 qt purchases each time).

New crush washer isn't a bad idea, but not critical. i change every two OCI's or so.

A lot of folks on here like the HP1008 K&N oil filter.

BTW, no difference on those oils -- just the quantity and packaging.

You always need a new crush washer. Reusing an old crush washer is asking for an oil leak.
Plus its $1, you're gonna pay $10/quart for redline oil than skip out on a crush washer.

I use used brake line copper washers several times now. :eek: Never leaks. ;) You can use any kind of a washer as long as it isn't damaged or distorted to begin with. I only change my oil once a year also. :eek: Guess you don't need a new crush washer, eh? :tiphat:

I've been using the Purolator PL14610 PureONE Oil Filter...is that okay?

Should be fine. I've only ever heard horror stories associated with Fram filters.

Search on Bob Is The Oil Guy.

I run the H&K filter with 5w30 royal purple. does me just fine. if your looking for budget oil maybe reconsider spending 30-50k on a car lol.

:icon18: Not budget anything I just want to get the right oil.

Never even used a crush washer before till I got a Z. Never had any noticeable oil leak either. From the oil test reports that I have seen any major brand synthetic of the correct weight will serve you just fine for any road driving for the life of the car.

This is the correct answer to any question involving the word "oil".
