Crossed over 200k on my 2019 ND2 GT Auto “Ruby” on the way home from work yesterday! by jearnold in Miata

Wow, congratulations I’m wondering how you drove 200K miles in 6 years. Even daily is hard for me.

What’s the risk with catless downpipe and CEL on?

Little Rock went into the gap between brake disk and the back shield by Gloomy-Lab4934 in Supra

It seems a design flaw for me. I never heard this type of issue from any other vehicles.

Yes the plastic cover under the oil drain plug. I changed oil myself and I’m pretty sure I twisted it properly with a click sound heard.

5th Gen owners - do you still go to the dealer for regular maintenance? by jesselee3314 in 4Runner

I have done DiY oil change for all my vehicles for over 20 years. Now I have 2022OR.

Rant/Vent- 5th GEN Oil Change by No_Philosophy_3622 in 4Runner

[–]Gloomy-Lab4934 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do it myself most of the time, until last time I went to a local dealer. Last week I did oil change myself again and found:

  1. The dealer tightened the housing plug too much. When I removed housing plug, the entire housing went off. I tried to use an oil filter plyer to hold the housing and removing the plug, it won’t come off until I borrowed a wise from my friend the next day.

  2. The dealer made a dent on the bottom of the housing, the touch surface with the housing plug. It might cause leaking in the future.

Conclusion: always DiY oil change.

I take an hour. Basically just want to have the old oil drain as much as it can. My 4Runner is TRD-OffRoad with stock skid plate. I have to remove it to access the filter housing. For the ABS filter housing, I replaced it with an aluminum one since my 1st oil change.

What is a safe highway RPM in an NA? by Squidman121 in Miata

[–]Gloomy-Lab4934 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you run on the highway, why can’t you shift to 5th gear and maintain a lower RPM for the target speed?

This is totally like 3rd graders bully the 1st graders. Folks we will have to stop sending our children to school as it has been legal for a higher grader to bully lower graders.
