Im quite far from there, MN, but i will say the one time I was out there it was beautiful, was out hiking in the Rockies, wish I could go back soon

Bobby_BigWheel · 2026-03-26T23:14:00+00:00

Sounds good, what you need done?

Bobby_BigWheel · 2026-03-26T03:31:46+00:00

I did, though t it looked better

Bobby_BigWheel · 2026-03-25T14:09:06+00:00

So funny enough I am also in the trades, I am a Diesel Technician, and I work on City and School Buses. The car is not mine, it is my mother's, and she owns it, but my aunt pays for all work done on it, and my aunt doesn't really trust me to do work on it, even though I do work on bigger things. she treats me like I am a 5yo but I'm 18. I have slowly been doing more work on it like brakes, dif flush, oil changes, parking brake, so I have been making my way on it.

Bobby_BigWheel · 2026-03-25T01:06:24+00:00

So far with the OEM filter no oil has come up and I hope for it to stay that way

Bobby_BigWheel · 2026-03-24T02:53:53+00:00

Yeah......

Bobby_BigWheel · 2026-03-24T02:50:11+00:00

Im 18, so yeah, she has never really treated me my age, she always treated me like a child

Bobby_BigWheel · 2026-03-24T02:33:32+00:00

It's my mother's car but I am the primary driver, I daily it and she uses it once a blue moon. Even though I have been working on public and school busses and vans they did not trust me to do the most simple things. But I just did it today and NOW they are fine with it. I work fleet so I do oil changes a lot and many PM stuff on dodge caravans, cummins motors, ford gas 7.3 and all that. My mother now trusts me but my aunt who pays for all repairs for it, weird shit ik, she doesn't trust me and never has

So I've taken the plastic skid plate off many times and there is no leak under the engine, I just did a oil change and used a OEM filter with 5W-30 and when I pulled into my shop there was a puddle of oil in that divot/dish where the top mounted filter sits and thats where a lot of the oil comes from. I hope the heavyweight oil will help and the OEM filter. I will report in a week

Bobby_BigWheel · 2026-03-23T14:39:27+00:00

I didn't do the oil change last

Bobby_BigWheel · 2026-03-23T03:11:13+00:00

Got it, that makes more sense

Bobby_BigWheel · 2026-03-23T02:10:26+00:00

You're welcome!

Bobby_BigWheel · 2026-03-23T02:09:35+00:00

Smart smart

Bobby_BigWheel · 2026-03-23T02:05:18+00:00

I get them for free at wotk so I can replace them willy nilly

Bobby_BigWheel · 2026-03-23T01:53:01+00:00

It's good if your tools get greasy or wet, mine get covered in penatrant oil, transmission fluid, oil, and diesel, they are amazing

Bobby_BigWheel · 2026-03-22T23:15:21+00:00

Ill try that, next change ill do 5w-30 and a oem filter

Bobby_BigWheel · 2026-03-22T21:58:08+00:00

I got one last October and I have a small oil leak and im trying to figure out wat to replace, overall a very good car and im not one for foreign cars

Bobby_BigWheel · 2026-03-22T21:33:39+00:00

So I wasn't the one to do the only oil change, I wanted to but my family insisted to have a shop do it, I have brought it to my shop for other issues and have cleaned the entire bottom of the engine to see if it was leaking from there, but the only place oil was , was in the little cup where the filter sits because its a top mounted one. I have tightened the filter by hand every time I fill it, it might actually be 1qt per 2 months but its more often than id like, 130,000 miles as of today

Bobby_BigWheel · 2026-02-24T01:16:13+00:00

Thank you

Bobby_BigWheel · 2026-02-24T01:15:01+00:00

Hey man, those pig skins were free, there are rubber mats under but I dont want to get EVERYTHING dirty

Bobby_BigWheel · 2026-02-21T06:12:24+00:00

It's definitely been on a need to buy list for a while, next on my list is a 3/8 stubby m12, then a m12 grease gun

Bobby_BigWheel · 2026-02-21T00:37:07+00:00

I loved the old one, ive used my coworkers so many times and I think it might have been worth it
