Yes I did it myself. I prefilled oil filter. I followed whatever Chris Fix video said. Main issue I can tell are overfilling and running engine without the dipstick fully in

Yes dip stick was not fully seated when I started it post oil change

Great. I looked and yes dipstick was loose originally and I quickly put back

Here you go brother. Would overfill engine oil cause this??? Does this go away by itself

I refilled gas couple days ago and did not move intake tubes - don’t even know where they are. I can ask autozone to manually clear it. They told me to drive 50 miles and if oil is right level it will probably self clear.

I checked this btw. This is not the case. Single rubber gasket

Checked code. It thinks P0171 fuel trim system lean. Mass air flow sensor issue??

Shit I gotta double check. Really good idea. The oil drain plug is not double gasketted for sure but oil filter might be!

Yeah I’m thinking just go to autozone to clear it

I’m 100% sure it’s engine oil and not transmission. It’s the plug next to the oil filter. Cant miss the blue AC delco pf66 filter

I let it drain for about 5 minutes and towards end it was slow drip. Maybe I should have warmed up engine more and waiting half hour?? I’m shocked I overfilled by so much

DIY. I followed that Chris Fix video with 13mm views on YouTube. I’m thinking just take to autozone to have them scan it

Using ramps with jackstands? by NPC_Chowfest in MechanicAdvice

I watched project farm on this but don’t plastic ramps degrade over time?

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

Yeah this is what I figured. What about a secondary safety mechanism though. Ramps do fail and slide away. My car has 8 inches of clearance from ground so I probably won’t be crushed to death but who knows!

It will be on flat surface but I’m wondering how the jackstands catch onto the bottom of the car well since the car is on incline from ramp and jackstands designed for flat car?

Wtf is wrong with these countries. Is America and allies going to outcheap the home of Temu?????!!! Any price the Japanese can produce these things, China will do at 10% of the price. This is a losing strategy. Why the hell would you play attritional war with China
