Well,if he's going to change the fluid,he might as well go with synthetic ,and be sure and have him rotate the bulbs while he's in there-and don't forget to adjust the palpitator,or he'll be doing it all over again real soon.
And remember to never install a left bulb on the right side,or vice-versa-I did that once,and it "not be pretty"

I have only done this a few times and have written an extensive "how to" but I lost the "how to" link. If I recall, the car is attached to a rotisserie and rotated a full 360 degrees to pick up any old fluid residue within the blinker (Drain fuel first).Then another 180 degrees so you are looking at the bottom of the car. Remove the driver's side door and you will see inside the fender well, a small drain plug. This is not it, but it looks cool huh? Now that you know what it looks like, put the door back on and turn the car right side up and remove from rotisserie. With a blow dryer, melt away the seal that holds the front license plate cover on and set it aside. Cut a hole behind the cover large enough to place your hand in. reach in about elbow deep while grasping either skid rail. Have a friend start the vehicle and drive for several miles until you no longer feel the need to change the fluid. Congratulate yourself on a job well done.

If you use this method you will surely have many issues down the road. The dipstick is removed because you use your finger as a gauge. FILL the oil until you can stick your finger in the cap and you feel the oil. Only then it is completely full. No air can get in there and cause that ol famous valve flutter.

While on the site,,,I liked the single exhaust "O" pipe!!! With our V8's we can hang a pair of them on!! Just imagine the performance gain there
!!! Should be many times lighter than even the Ti exhaust!!!
