DO NOT take the car to redline cold (<180). On a cold take it will take a long time to get to 180.

I'd be cool to add a " normal caractheristic of the car " thread

Piston flapping
Brakes squealing
Tramlining
Brake dust

Nice initiative Jim, thx.

Hey [MENTION=13658]TDC[/MENTION],

That's a new one to me, has this been discussed anywhere?
I believe mine was the second from this forum that needed their engine coolant radiator replaced. I pulled the belly tray off the car to prep for the oil line recall and notice coolant wetting the bottom. The leak was so slow and belly pan so large that no evidence of the leak is visible. Therefore I recommend to make an effort and check it; especially if you notice the coolant level in the reservoir slowly going down.

Another don't mentioned in the owners manual but is probably easily missed, Don't take to an automatic car wash as parts may be blown off the car.

Bed in your brakes with hard braking immediately.

Throw out the "1000 miles' of testicle fondling the throttle bullshit and just give it the beans.
You obviously haven't taken a ride with me lately !!! No matter how hard i drive it, when doing stop to stop driving it always comes back haunting me.

Don't sweat it Jim, it's all good, actually " piston flapping " is just a Canadian caractheristic eh. :)

Inspired by [MENTION=30086]RRGT350[/MENTION] 's thread on low oil :thumbsup:
Pg 36 of April 2016 Supplement. Repeated in subsequent versions.

ENGINE OIL CHECK
See the scheduled maintenance information for the appropriate intervals for checking the engine oil.
1. Make sure the vehicle is on level ground.
2. Turn the engine off and wait 15 minutes for the oil to drain into the oil pan.
3. Set the parking brake and make sure the gearshift is securely latched in first gear.
4. Open the hood. Protect yourself from engine heat.
5. Locate and carefully remove the engine oil level dipstick.
6. Wipe the dipstick clean. Insert the dipstick fully, then remove it again.
7. Put the dipstick back in and make sure it is fully seated.
• If the oil level is between the lower and upper holes, the oil level is acceptable. DO NOT ADD OIL.
• If the oil level is below the lower hole, add enough oil to raise the level within the lower and upper holes.

Sounds like a sticky to me
STICKY, STICKY, STICKY!!!! Just do it Mods...DO it.
Thanks for the support guys. I thinks sticky's are based on popularity so I'll make a shameless request to folks viewing this thread. Please consider dropping a 'thanks' in the first post if you think the info is helpful. :cheers:

I've cleaned it up a bit to look and sound a bit more professional - representing so to speak:D

I found almost all the side skirt fasteners loose (not pushed in).
