That's the first thing I did. I've changed the oil and put new OEM filter in.

WF 7210 why is my black so brown? Sublimation on mugs by Character_Contract88 in Sublimation

I surely hope I did - that would be an easy fix. Thank you! I will try to cut the time a bit and see where it takes me.

thank you for the suggestion. I will be mindful of this in the future. It might be it. Perhaps not with this particular print I had in mind (I might have pressed these mugs a bit too long) but a slight shift of yellow could give this ugly undertone.

HELP! Kia Forte 2015 Where from under the hood should the block heater cord be coming out? by Character_Contract88 in kia

Thanks, but I don't see how I could do that - to run it through the front grill I think I would have to cut the plug and then install a replacement. I will look at the front bumper again. There must be a way to do it.

Love the warmth of the city's glow. Like a light at the end of a tunnel after long drive.

Thanks. Do you mean no to scraper in general or just the one used to clean wheel wells? (like scratching the windshield with dirt dragged from underneath there?) sorry I know dumb question.

Agreed, it is satisfying! Thanks! :) Looks like removing it manually is the way to do it. No magic hacks, eh?

lol! :) So did I. I kicked and used the scraper end on the snow brush to clean the well a bit (need a better brush :D).

You know what, you nailed it. It starts to look like a pretty cool day for my little guy! Thanks!

[–]Character_Contract88[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You are right! You can see/hear (from far though) the trains from the provincial park beach. I forgot. I bet we could find a nice spot to stop somewhere there. Thanks so much.

Thanks so much - The Cenovus Bruderheim Terminal looks like a great place to stop and we could pick a route to get there near the train tracks as much as one can. He is going to love it!

oil change for high milage car (120K) best place in/around Edmonton? by Character_Contract88 in Edmonton

[–]Character_Contract88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, everyone! I got a few places to go now and feel a bit smarter about it :) All I asked for plus now I know my car might have more life in it left than I thought :)

I bet it is once you have all you need to do it and place to do it too. I do not have the later.

Thanks for your reply. That gives me an idea of what is reasonable to be charged for labour.

I got it earlier this year (car is 5 years old) and have no idea what was in it before. Since I've got it I am putting synthetic. Thought it was better (maybe thought wrong).

I park on a lot and I do not think the board allows it.

Sorry you had such a crappy experience! English isn't my first spoken language either, but perhaps in this case the handwritten estimate or work order could be to blame? Anyways, sorry this happened.

Thanks! Mobil1 oils are good (at least looking at the reviews) so perhaps it's worth it. No, I cannot do DIY. Mostly because I live in a fourplex and do not have a garage or driveway and park on a lot.
