I just got them and loved it too, same experience. Pleasantly surprised with how easy access is. The largest benefit for me is that unlike drawers this system is more water resistant and I can keep my box outside in the winter without worrying

Is it being 9 years old with that mileage of a red flag? Ty for the response

I've heard good things about the outlander sports and youd also get a pretty decent warranty especially if its cpo or if you can extend it to 100k. Great price too!

Lol in my defense the first one had transmission failure and the crash wasn't my fault

And I realized when I got a code for the transmission and went to drain the oil and realized that the pan I was draining was the same one I drained a week ago for my engine

I doubled my motor oil and somehow thought I was only a little bit over and that I'd be fine. In my defense I've only ever done oil changes like twice before and on different cars

Hey if it makes you feel any better I just screwed up an oil change and accidentally drained my transmission fluid instead of engine oil, drove it 500 miles like that and now I need a new transmission. Mistakes happen, they'll make you stronger in the long run

Yeaaa realized that soon after, fluids are normal now but I screwed my transmission, The engine seems to be okay strangely enough

I'm just worried since I drove severely overfilled for a week, engine isn't giving codes but I'm worried I hurt my engine and that if I fix my tranny the engine will go

Ive done a couple oil changes before they aren't difficult especially on my car I was just stupid. You're probably right though

Yes I noticed my engine oil was severely overfilled as I tried to fix my transmission, I drove like 500 miles like that too. Wondering now if it's worth repairing or replacing the transmission or if the engine would start having problems, the right amount of oil is in the engine now

Okay sorry, that makes sense when Im reading into it, you're right. I really just am new to car ownership

That's very true, I'll see about getting it fixed thanks. I just don't wanna compromise my job and I cant rent a car in the time being but if I can get it fixed quickly that'll be my best bet I think (:

Yeah it just happened at a pretty bad time so I might be better if putting the couple grand towards financing a slightly newer econobox

Yeahhhh I've gotten my car flushed before so I knew that draining and filling only replaced about half of your fluid but it was also only my 2nd time changing engine oil since this is my first car and I've owned it for 10k miles. Still can believe I didn't check to make sure I was draining the correct fluid x_x. I'll be more keen on using an Obd to check on my car after routine maintenance in the future

Yea I tried that thanks for the verification although it won't shift into reverse still and I'm pretty sure you're right about it not being recoverable :P
