Going back under for another oil change. Since the last time around (when I first posted), I bought the oil filter cap wrench/adapter, which should help.

I'm seriously considering a Mityvac to avoid going under the car again. I didn't like my jackstand placements last time. The Jeep rolled off TWO jacks simultaneously once and landed on a brake rotor. Thankfully I wasn't underneath at the time, but I'm always nervous about less-than-bombproof placements when it comes to jackstands. Comments/opinions on the Mityvac are encouraged.

Also, I'm looking all over and finding all kinds of opinions on which brand of oil and filter to use. Last time, I used Castrol Syntec 0/40 and (I think) Mann filter. Should I be using OEM instead? Or maybe Redline?
