No, just a comment. Oil changes take about 30 minutes and very little effort. No need to worry about missing a sporting event, which is really pretty worthless in the grand scheme of things.
You can teach your kid more by sharing an oil change with them.
There are consequences to changing the oil type from the one recommended.
It takes longer to bring the combustion chamber to operating temp and it alters how the variable valve timing works. Could mess up the CATS too.
I doubt its harmful if the cold temp flow number is still close.
There is a video on you tube that recommends buying rubber strips that go between the fender and body panel where debris collects and scratches the hell out of the area.
The rubber prevents stuff from collecting in that area.
I dont like using anything with poison in it. I do not really want to expose myself and others to that crap. The industry that produces that stuff knows that its the human death by a thousand cuts.
With comments like "you mean driving" I guess we will be seeing a bunch of ESS equipped vehicles with passenger front end damage soon from trying to beat traffic. I hate making left turns where I live now.
So there is a TSB to fix this, which the dealership did not know about and the buyer had to pay for a part for a poorly diagnosed problem? I know they claimed a dent, but really?
That is called insanity. Has the art of deductive reasoning been removed from peoples brains at birth?
The dealership is connected to the manufacture and should have their own support line to call when things like this occur. Heck the salesman could even try another pc to see if that works.
I will wait to see how of all the newly praised equipment holds up over the next years. Moving forward is good when the product equals the praise it is awarded.
Their message is similar to the peter pan principle.
Why would they ask anything? It is in their interest to collect a monthly payment based on the VIN provided. They wont simply cover what you added unless it is known to them. If you keep receipts for the regular maintenance that was done that will help ensure that you get the max if something...
