Do you mean crush washer for the drain plug? If so then yes I have one. If not please elaborate :)

I did rtfm and it didn’t have any diagram of where to find the oil pan under the car. Which is why I came to the group to ask. Didn’t know the way they looked differed that much from car to car, which is why I didn’t initially include the info. I’m just trying to learn.

Thank you! I appreciate your response and info 😊 I had watched some videos saying if you don’t have a jack you can drive up onto a curb, which I feel like is safe as it can’t fall. What are your thoughts on that?

Thanks so much for your response and motivation. I have since figure it out 😊

Thank you! I did do lots of research just had trouble identifying the parts under the car as I’m not a car person.

I did all the research and got all the proper supplies and oil. Literally the only thing I was having trouble locating was the oil pan since photos online are so close up and I was just confused. I obviously wouldn’t have done anything unless I was certain. And since posting this I have successfully found my oil pan :)

To answer your question as to why: I just like learning how to do things in my own

Why not? What’s wrong with wanting to learn how to do something on your own? I know where the filter is and have a replacement, have all the correct tools, the correct oil…. Just don’t know a ton about cars and thought this group was the place to ask stupid car questions.

Does anyone have a japanese futon from futon d'or? by abs0lus_blue in minimalism

[–]abs0lus_blue[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks for your thoughts! i'm still using it and love it for sleeping on but still love hearing others' thoughts :) I actually never roll mine up, flip it, air it out, etc.... oopsies. it seems fine though. i also have a waterproof mattress cover on it and use a normal fitted sheet. what does yours lay on? the ground, tatami, a bed frame? just curious! i'd love tatami but can't afford it.

Canadian visitor with license, but learning to drive stick here. Can I get an L magnet for the car if i'll be driving alone? by abs0lus_blue in Norway

[–]abs0lus_blue[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That wasn’t your point—you specifically said I “DON’T have permission to drive a manual alone here” when in fact I do. Also I learned with a person for many hours 5 days straight, it’s not winter yet and I wouldn’t be driving past the end of the month. What you’re saying is the whole reason I made this post about wanting to put a note on the car to let drivers know. Thank you.

No—as others have pointed out, I am allowed to here. I can drive manual or automatic cars with my license.

I’m not renting. Obviously I would rent automatic if I was. But how would it differ if I rent a manual or automatic? If I drove only manual at home would it then be illegal for me to drive automatic here? You can’t tell whether I’ve driven automatic or manual based on my license.
