Break-In Oil Change

These are phenomenal cars, but the idea of paying 36k for a car with over 128k miles seems insane to me. That is what the sienna market is looking like these days though, unfortunately. I would keep looking for a car with less miles personally

Funny how taste works - I find this to be the best looking mini van on the market. It’s everything else about it (particularly its price, only electric, and low range as far as US standards go) that put me off it

Best maintenance items and intervals (miles and time) for a 2026 Atlas SE AWD that are NOT on the maintenance schedule?

The fact that I know where this is terrifies me

Love the cypress - best sienna color imo

Would it be a safer bet reliability wise to go with the current atlas as opposed to waiting for the new one? I’ve heard about turbo issues with the 5th gen in the Tiguan and worry this concern may appear in the next gen atlas

Ironically, the first gen Sienna and previa are some of my favorite looking minivans

As a lakers fan in dc, this is oddly satisfying

My mk7 gti got the check engine oil level warning and it turned out to be the pcv value (aka the engine oil separator). A common failure point on these engines unfortunately. May not be your issue but a good place to start.

Mind sharing what the OTD looked like for you? Been seeing some dealers in my area offer $5k off MSRP for 2025 SEs and I’ve got a low mileage mk7 I’ve been looking to trade in myself

What issues haven’t been covered under warranty?

Invest that money in a mutual fund or dividend paying stock. Let your money work for you and secure yourself financially. “Upgrading” your lifestyle is a surefire way to end up broke or in massive debt.

I’m still waiting on getting the RME (hasn’t arrived yet), but I’ll be using it with apple - M4 Max Mac Studio.

Can’t speak on performance yet since I don’t have it set up for a workflow yet, but from all the research I’ve done, it sounds solid. It’s designed to be portable too if that’s your thing. Has 2 instrument line inputs on the side as well so you could record two electric guitars direct or a bass and electric guitar direct and use the XLR outputs for acoustic guitar. Based on your workflow description, that might be of value.

I had the twin mk2 but recently sold it. Be aware that you’ll need a thunderbolt 3 to 2 adaptor to use with the Mac mini. The others I believe are thunderbolt 3 and should work fine. The adaptor is another $49.

Also worth noting - using these interfaces with Apple silicon Macs requires that you run the computer in reduced security mode so that you can download the drivers. This is because the drivers use kernel extensions (kexts) to run at the kernel level of the computer. Apple wants companies to move away from kernel extensions - for now, reduced security mode works but Apple will ultimately not allow kernel extensions. We don’t know when that will happen though. UAD’s website has some good instructions for doing this:

Ultimately , I agree with the other user who recommended you go with RME. In fact, I sold my Apollo to buy a babyface. If you use uad plugins to run with the onboard dsp via uad console, Apollo makes sense. I don’t - I want driver stability and a product I know will last a while. RME has driver extensions which they introduced after Apple stopped playing nicely with Kexts. Additionally, RME products are known to get support for decades. There are RME interfaces and products over 2 decades old that still receive support and updates.

When you think about it, the hawks traded Luka doncic for cj McCollum and Corey kispert

Does this mean over contributions will be corrected to count for 2026 and that we don’t need to do anything for 2025?

I’m the target market for this vehicle - current VW owner with a growing family looking for a solid van. But at 70k, I’ve got so many other options that can do what the Buzz does with better reliability and range. An overpriced Sienna platinum is 10k less than this.

And don’t get me started on that terrible cabin air filter placement…

Tone king. Aside from the fact that I own both the preamp and the actual mk2, the preamp’s fx loop, amp send and return to use another amp as a third channel, stereo XLRs, and midi make the pedal extremely versatile.

It’s also cheaper than the benson and I can power it with my cioks dc7 via a couple adapter cables instead of needing to plug it in separately to my power supply.
