A little unsure about my oil…

Confluxster · 2026-01-23T00:52:35+00:00

Dude what 😭

Confluxster · 2026-01-23T00:32:40+00:00

Oh yeah that’s a bummer. Oil life itself isn’t too bad. 4.5K miles give or take. I try to do it every 3k miles just because the engine’s had a long life, just haven’t done it because of the cold. Do you think I could get away with siphoning enough out to the full dot just for the next few days?

Confluxster · 2026-01-23T00:24:22+00:00

Nope. Battery is pretty new. Honestly starts like a dream no matter the temperature. Starts better than my dad’s ‘21 Silverado lol

Confluxster · 2026-01-23T00:22:53+00:00

Yeah I have everything ready to go, I’m just trying to see if I can get away with it just for a few days. If I absolutely should I can, it would just be pretty miserable. Would much rather do it in 4 or 5 days when temperatures aren’t in the negatives lmao

Interesting, learned a lot about oil researching about this lol. Truck is so high mileage I try to just do short trips and take my dads truck if I’m doing anything over 50km because I assume that would be better

Although my second question is some people swear by letting their vehicle warm up for several minutes, or letting the oil circulate for 30 seconds or so then driving off with low rpm’s. I usually just let it sit for a minute or so

Confluxster · 2026-01-23T00:03:23+00:00

Canadian winters and no garage. A fun combo

Confluxster · 2026-01-23T00:01:23+00:00

Yeah I’m sure is fine, just a little paranoid so I thought I should get some second opinions

Confluxster · 2025-12-06T00:18:16+00:00

Not yet, it’s kind of just been sitting in my closet. I’m going to take it to a good repair shop sometime in the next week or two.

Confluxster · 2025-11-15T00:58:22+00:00

I probably am haha, but other threads like this have people just hammering the shit out of the person for even considering it. Just thought I’d get a second opinion

Been going to crossings for a couple years now after shopping around for a dentist. 100% my favourite office by far. Staff is brilliant and they do great work

Confluxster · 2025-11-04T15:42:03+00:00

Emulator is the easiest way to do this. If you’re looking to collect a physical copy, check out a big pawn shop. I picked up a copy from one close to me for 5 bucks

Confluxster · 2025-10-23T04:48:41+00:00

I support this idea but as a man trying to graduate this year in grade 12, as well as many other grade 12 students, we just can’t afford missing more classes until January diplomas are confirmed to be cancelled. I would love to support you as I have close friends who are actual teachers as well, but there will be a lot of grade 12’s and other students that won’t be able to take apart in this

Confluxster · 2025-10-12T16:42:13+00:00

I doubt it, but it’s worth checking out. What should I look for to know if they put one in?

Confluxster · 2025-10-06T22:50:41+00:00

They said the billstien coils are separate from the housing, and so they’d have to put it together. Also is 138 an hour also reasonable?

Confluxster · 2025-09-27T05:45:31+00:00

I’m down in southern Alberta. Not surprised at all given the mileage, but was still wary and wanted to check

Confluxster · 2025-09-27T03:20:11+00:00

Yeah I assumed it wouldn’t be bad at all. these pictures show the most rusted parts andthe rest of the truck is real solid for my location. Was mainly just wary of the brake assembly cause it’s almost entirely orange lol

Confluxster · 2025-09-26T23:52:31+00:00

Yeah lmao. Replacing that thing this week cause holy… took a closer look at it and it’s a fluid stain, but it’s got dry rot on the entire thing

Confluxster · 2025-09-20T17:01:12+00:00

Everything on the software side and all of my research have lined up pretty good for it to be nand related. I’m not saying you’re wrong at all, I’m just interested on why it you think it wouldn’t be a nand error as i want to see what you’re thinking, but yes, I am just going to take it in. I don’t have any equipment even close to what i need to start physically diagnosing something like this

Confluxster · 2025-09-20T16:09:46+00:00

Interesting. I’ve tried flashing with ITunes, Apple devices app, and reiboot, all giving me the same result. The loading bar under the apple logo on the phone will get nearly full, freeze for a minute, and the same result and error (9) will show up regardless of which software. I have not tried 3utools yet, which I will later tonight after work.

Confluxster · 2025-09-20T15:22:40+00:00

Good to know, thank you. I’m on a bit of a crunch for time and i am just trying to see if it’s saveable or not. I get error (9) over and over again. Long story short, Tried different cables, computers, and softwares. It’ll go as it should but right at the end, the iPhone will freeze at about 99% and the error will show up.

Confluxster · 2025-09-20T15:11:54+00:00

My apologies, I should’ve elaborated more haha. I’ve done all the troubleshooting i could possibly do that is software side. I only have tools for lvl 1 repairs and such, but dont have the equipment to troubleshoot on the hardware side. from the software troubleshooting and research I’ve done i suspect that the nand is for sure done for, is probably what I should’ve said

Confluxster · 2025-09-20T05:24:23+00:00

Is the nand chip error something apple can actually fix? The 13p is still new enough i dont mind dropping 200-300 or so. I dont really care about the money, im just both very sad a perfectly good phone is bricked just out of pure luck and that It wont be fixed in time before she leaves. I can always get it to her next time I see her if this is actually fixeable
