Well... there are two posts that have diagrams. The first appears to show that you place the jack stands on the pinch welds at the corners, then there are other circles at 4 points on the frame front and back, I'm assuming that is meant for where you place the jack to lift, but it does not...
Ok, so I'm going to raise my hand and admit that I may be doing things very wrong. There are two cutouts very close to one another at each corner on the pinch welds. I assumed one was for the jack to lift the car up high enough to place the jack stand under the other one. I have not really...
Yeah somehow we've survived using this method since 1886, so "arbitrary" seems to work quite well. It's called predictive maintenance and it's pretty standard and effective with machinery. I did make sure to reset last OC and yes I will look at it from time to time. It likely won't be...
I'm not trying to knock the feature, just after my experience with my failure to reset told me that it is not active "enough" for me to go by what it's telling me to use as an absolute OCI indicator. I accept that I'm probably going a bit early at 5K, but I'm also overdoing it with full...
If the monitor was all that, you wouldn't need to reset it. It would truly monitor the oil conditions. I forgot to reset after changing my oil and it gave me a 5% warning after like 100 miles. That told me all I needed to know. 5K OCI with full synthetic and a bottle of Ceratec for me. I...
Good to hear this. I sort of felt like I was an outlier. I started with Oil Change #3 (bought used). It only had 5,700 miles on it. I bought from a dealership and it had a cheap oil filter on it. I assume the time between the original fill and that second oil change wasn't too long as the...
Dear Mr. Smaht azz.... ACTUALLY I mentioned using the dealer. THEN the OP said he was picking it up at an out of state dealer, then I said they still may be able to get it done so it was ready WHEN he picked it up. It's called a progression...
Probably too late in the game, but they may have been able to add them prior to delivery. You may want to check still and you can pick it up exactly the way you want it. Good call on the stripes though, they do set the black car off nicely. I'm going to keep my main black stripe, but going to...
Might be a silly question, but what about the dealership you are buying your car from? They likely have a body/paint shop and probably can do stripes as well. Maybe they'll swing you a deal.
My last 6 were Japanese. Last 3 were Infiniti G37x Coupes. Almost went for the Lexus RC-F and that is the best attempt yet at a Muscle Car from Japan. But the brake job cost even with DIY was simply insane. I didn't need two car payments, one for the car and one for the brakes! They even...
Just curious (hasn't happened to me yet) but has anyone "forgotten" to empty their separator to the point where it completely fills up? What would happen if that occurred? Sarcastic remarks accepted lol... But still curious about the straight answer.
