Oil Change Numero 5! (4th Synthetic)
So, I was feeling a little better today compare to last few days. I have decided to change the oil again. Summer is right around the corner so it's probably not a bad idea.
I went with K&N HP-1008 this time because UPS screwed up my previous order and K&N sent me two (2) of these HP-1008 filters. I think I'm going to stick to Purolator Pure1 (as I have
stated here) for future oil changes. Why? It's very easy to locate (local auto store has it), better filtering, slightly cheaper and larger.
That's just in 1 year! I drive a lot
Oil Draining
Every single oil change sample was sent to Blackstone Lab. It's a GREAT idea to do this because they can guide you perfectly when to do the next oil change, how's the oil etc. I usually don't share this on the forum because EVERY analysis will be different depending on driving condition, mileage, weather, driving habit, and many other things.
I always put new crush washer. Though my dealer overcharge (1 washer = $1.06, usually they are 3 for $1) me every time , never reuse washer.
Tried to take a picture of the inside opening. Just for fun Looks pretty clean
NO more Aquafina!
Now, I should let you guys know that I DO NOT have the front chin spoiler. But even without it, I found out that I was rubbing the ramp slightly (found some scratched paint under front bumper). So, I went ahead and made these wooden steps to help me clear the ramp. I realized I have make them WAY too thick!
I have like 1" clearance now!
