And I reitereate what I said back in post #5: That's not a total loss. Not even close. I may not be a fancy-schmancy million-dollar licensed Appraiser, nor am I like Jeff Spicoli whose father was TV repairman with the ultimate set of tools , but I've been around this stuff for a very long...

If everything about the car is ASS, then why the hell are you here commenting? Your opinion? Ass.

I recall nobody here saying anything about what BRAND of oil to use - only what oil WEIGHT (viscosity number).

And I'm betting it won't. We shall see.

No, the general consensus is covered in the owner's manual. Bottom line, if someone takes your advice, doesn't follow the owner's manual, and has a catastrophic failure, are you going to cover their repair bill? Unless one has deep pockets, following the owner's manual is the sagest advice...

Nope. I left all that back in the 1980s where it belongs ... :cwl: Happy for you, though.

Affirmative.

If I may be so bold: What have you done to the DH to "win" over all the other DHs?

How much?

You're gonna soak the panel with oil that way. I've changed my oil (not a rumor) and I would NOT try to R&R the filter that way.

No, wait, wait. I found it. Here you go:

The rivets are used to support the panel in the correct orientation WHILE you install the screws. Again, it's not a big deal. If you own a cordless ratchet wrench, it takes less than a minute to remove the screws and not much longer to put them back in when done.

Some of you have clearly never owned newer vehicles that were involved in accidents ... or never been involved in accidents or claims. The insurance companies are NOT going to total a $60K car with $12K worth of repairs. It doesn't work that way. JHC ... :facepalm:

I bet your ordered the baby shark hoodie! :cwl:

It will only let me add a record if I do not put anything in the "NOTES" field. Useless.

I thought someone said you can do it from the web site, just not from the mobile app. EDIT: Yes, I just checked -- you can add a record from the web site under Quick LInks / Service History. EDIT #2: I just tried to add a record. It won't let me - errors out on save ("Oops! Something went...

LOL. Probably. I always keep a larger microfiber cloth in the door pocket to wipe off dirt from the sill plate area (I'm a left leg amputee), so I just draped it across the shift knob this AM. We'll see if that kept it from getting very hot today (it's 90F out there right now).

@10basscat did apologize in Post #156 above, so AFAIC, I'm cutting him some slack.

He wasn't replying to me, @Stangerous. He was replying to @Interstellar. :blush:

Full synthetic benefits over conventional oils: Evaporates less quickly More resistant to high temps during warmer months and to thickening as quickly in lower temps Better additives More resistant to breaking down Extended oil change intervals Less impact on the environment Yes, it costs...
