I have a 2002 Intrgiue with 85,000 miles and it has just started to make a tinny/whinning/vibrating kind of sound when I first start to press on the gas at pretty much any speed. If I keep the gas pressed down only a little bit I can have the sound conitnue but it goes away when I accelerate a little more heavily. The transmission shifts great and everything elese runs great (except for a quart of oil every 1,000 miles). Any ideas? DL

The 3.5 engine requires a less than usual oil and filter, at least to the myriad of oil change stores. I've had my share of having to ask to have the oil flushed because 5W30 wasn't used or to have to wait because the store didn't have the filter in stock. I started to buy the oil and filter to take to the store for a change, but now I'm feeling ripped of, for I get a discount of a measly couple of bucks, if any. I'm just back from one such place, where I was returned a car with oily palm prints everywhere.  Changing the oil myself is getting more and more tempting, but the space under the car is quite restrict. How do those who change it themselves do? Any tips? TIA |

My previous car was a 1997 Dodge Intrepid 3.3L V6, and its filter was accessible from above the engine under the hood, and I could reach the drain plug without jacking up the car. That was an easy change.
