Also, if you do some searching in these forums, you're bound to find some more information. Any other questions just ask. I am very pleased with my 500 so far.

My dealership mentioned that rather than purging the line by crimping it off and listening for a rush of air, they'd just leave the new oil filter loose and crank the engine. Once oil started seeping out around the filter, they'd tighten the filter all the way. Supposedly this eliminates that purging step and ensures oil is flowing properly.

Someone who knows more about these machines might be able to explain if that's kosher or not....
