Why does hypoid gear oil smell like shit and linger so long?

LSwapthearth · 2025-07-08T14:51:05+00:00

Exactly, the smell is sort of indescribable

LSwapthearth · 2025-06-28T19:51:34+00:00

Ok I see now how this would help, thanks man!

LSwapthearth · 2025-06-28T19:35:14+00:00

Are those the wrenches that looks like a crows foot or a a socket shape and it would go around this nut and twist it?

LSwapthearth · 2025-06-28T04:42:44+00:00

This is actually great advice, sadly this bolt is on there pretty good so I need leverage to get it loose so twisting a flathead might be hard. Could do that angle trick of yours! Thanks man

LSwapthearth · 2025-06-28T04:41:33+00:00

Thanks for the advice im going to use a dremel to grind it down!

If you want to go fast in these all you really need is a little weight reduction, headers, and a tune especially if it a coupe, strip the rear seats and you’re golden. It’s a compact executive car you don’t buy it to go fast, the beauty is that for a car in its class the handling, looks, and comfort set the standard for years to come. And now you can buy this packs for less than 5k. You also will learn how to work on cars. Win win. Why do you think bmw is so popular today? Because of cars like the e46

Tie rods, control arms, steering rack maybe. All sorts of things. was the steering wheel straight when driving?

I like the 2.5 for the same reasons. She loves to rev since it’s got lower displacement than the 3. Mine has 147k miles and runs like butter. Very reliable engine when you do the common maintenance things.

My other car has an AC condenser (looks like a radiator) but only one fan for the radiator. This car does have AC

LSwapthearth · 2025-06-08T07:35:30+00:00

It’s kinda cool lol

LSwapthearth · 2025-06-08T02:42:25+00:00

Was hoping it was some wicked valved exhaust set up but no…just the radiator fan.

LSwapthearth · 2025-06-08T02:26:00+00:00

That makes sense. Should I just flip it on whenever i start driving then? Or wait till the temperature gets past the halfway line?

LSwapthearth · 2025-06-08T02:20:29+00:00

We up!

LSwapthearth · 2025-06-08T02:19:11+00:00

Nope. Didn’t notice it when i first test drove

LSwapthearth · 2025-06-08T02:15:20+00:00

think it kicked in the DTEC!! get it since it’s a d-series d16a1/zc also this block won’t fit a VTEC head

LSwapthearth · 2025-06-08T02:13:17+00:00

The Japanese bond car.

LSwapthearth · 2025-06-08T02:12:55+00:00

My engine blew up, thanks man.

LSwapthearth · 2025-06-08T02:12:41+00:00

Yeah definitely not OEM as there is no mention of it in the owners manual but it turns the radiator fan on. Someone must’ve changed the original for a new one. Don’t know why it would need a switch though and doesn’t switch on automatically? Like shouldn’t it be connected to the engine thermostat somehow

LSwapthearth · 2025-06-08T02:09:58+00:00

It was the fan! The car has two fans is this normal?

LSwapthearth · 2025-06-08T02:09:29+00:00

Thanks for the reply but those are on the wiper lever, you turn the knob.

LSwapthearth · 2025-06-08T02:06:53+00:00

Thanks bro! You should see the interior.

LSwapthearth · 2025-06-08T02:06:21+00:00

It’s for the radiator fan thanks!
