I have an idea... why not just *buy* the first filter from the dealership instead of *demanding* free information? Yes it will be a few dollars more than the online places, but: a) if you go to the dealership and pick it up you will save the shipping cost b) you will have the correct part number (on the box and paperwork) for future reference. c) you will have maintained your dignity at the dealership and won't have come across as a PITA tight wad. Besides, why would you change your oil at 3000 miles? It isn't called for by the manufacturer and really isn't necessary. -Fred W
