I changed my own oil for the first time two weeks ago on my drive way. Pointed the car down slope and drove it up the ramps so the car was fairly level. It took 5 1/4 quarts when it's all said and done.

I've never seen mine above maybe 235 until this past weekend driving to/from Vegas. The outside temperature was 122 at Baker (gateway to Death Valley), and going 85+ up the long hill towards Vegas, the oil temp shot up to 260+..... Shopping for an oil cooler, right now.
