Crankcase fluid&filter

Unless i'm misunderstanding you, your regular oil and filter change every 10,000 miles is your crankcase oil and filter change.

 

right. what else might have a filter?

 

An engine oil and filter change is fairly easy, complicated a little by the plastic panel under the engine, and a somewhat unusual filter.

For the filter you should research the filter socket, get the right size and sturdy. It's 14 face, and 64.5 mm inside face to face. Torque is 18 lb/ft.

The oil pan drain bolt requires a 14 mm socket. Dealerships have replacement washer, which you should use, but you could skip in a pinch. Torque is 27 lb/ft.

Personally I take the complete plastic under panel off at each oil change, but in a pinch you could just remove the few fasteners at the oil pan, and flex it back. It seems to me though, this leads to it's breaking, after a few oil changes.

You'll need 4.2 liters of oil when changing both the oil and filter, to put oil level at the upper dipstick mark. I'd recommend to pour in that amount (after a thorough drain), and resist the urge to add more, if the dipstick shows low. The dipstick is hard to read, especially right after oil change. Leave it a day or two before serious checking.

In Canada the engine oil change interval is even shorter than the States: 8000 km's or 6 months, whichever comes first. I think everyone's a little incredulous: the oil on your car should have been changed many times by now. If you've just acquired this car, it likely has had the engine oil changed many times.
