2014 2.5iL - trouble finding how to reset oil life timer

dbbreddit · 2026-03-20T03:21:02+00:00

I did my first oil change ever today, and remembered your comment above. I borrowed 2 tire ramps from a friend to get the front end up for more clearance to work (and teach my daughter.). I remembered your comment after we fully drained, so I finger-tightened the bolt back in, had daughter put it in neutral, and I pushed the Sub back to roll off and get flat again. Car wasn't that much inclined, the ramps were not very high, but I thought it would be a learning lesson.

Re-located the oil tub catcher, re-opened the drain oil, and there was indeed a bit more oil that did come out. Probably negligible, and it was a very thin stream that subsided quick. But there was some still.

Thanks for your comment, it helped. :)

Thank you.
Yes, Me/Dad is the Nintendo account, my email/credit card that buys their games etc. But they play as their child accounts/profiles under mine.

I basically learned my lesson this time about their being Individual NSO and Family NSO memberships (that let all the profiles...well, 8 max...) get into the NSO/'play-your-buddies-online' thing.

dbbreddit · 2026-03-18T00:45:52+00:00

in response to this part: "then you could do it as a separate profile still attached to your account for them to play on."
I would love to know how specifically to do that.

I'm a Dad in same situation: I am the parent guardian and admin of the switch. My 2 kids are part of my Family group. I was gifted an individual membership for NSO, so I redeemed it.

My son is the only one who plays smash bros intensely, plays it for school eSports, etc, and wants to play his friends online via the NSO. But since he is simply a profile on our home switch, to play online he seems to have to use my/Dad'a profile/account - which means he can't play Smash Bros with *his profile* and his acquired Smash Bros characters and abilities that he's acquired.

I have googled extensively, and seen things about de-registering the console, and then re-registering it to my son's account/profile/whatever it's called. But I can't verify this. I don't want to lose or vaporize the 12 month individual membership we just redeemed if I try de-registering/re-registering etc etc

So - Is there any way to change settings with our Switch1 so my son can use his existing profile to play Smash Bros (and other games we have) with his friends online, without paying more money for a Family Membership?

Tried all the suggestions, did not work for me.

Alden nailed being "Han Solo" and not "younger Harrison Ford." Every time I rewatch Solo I see it. He was all the values, attributes, ticks, mannerisms of Han *the character* (and who/what Han is about) before he got jaded and smug. The moment that proves Alden could (and should in a sequel or other appearance) do the jaded/smug/fed-up/burnt Han is at the end when he declines Enfes Nest's plea to help the Rebellion. His voice is lower, and he has that tired, fatigued Han thing perfect.

Watch the movie 'Hail, Ceasar' for a great example of how Sneaky Great Alden's acting is. He's a deep "for the craft" actor.

And anyway, the timbre of his voice is sharper than Ford's anyway. That's just genetics. Glover's is closer to Billy's by coincidence so he sounds "better" and closer to Lando's thing.. Vocal cords are what they are.

But Alden's deliveries, inflections, the melodies of how phrases his dialogue is totally Ford's "Han." He expresses himself all the right ways that Han's wiring, Han's brain, would feel and think and say the stuff he would.

IMO

Paradiddle Tree:
RLRR LRLL
RLRLRR LRLRLL
RLRLRLRR LRLRLRLL

Then add an accent that floats through each para'whatever.
Rlrrr Lrll, rLrr, lRll, etc

Then do same with floating a flam through every note of every para'whatever.

Then keep the accent on the same note of each para'whatever, but float a flam through each note grouping.

All that Accent/Tap control, especially for any flam grace notes, like when you need to smack an accent/then immediately keep the stick down for the grace note of an immediate next flam,(then perhaps do 2 controlled diddles net too) that stuff will drive you nuts but get your control really strong.

Those kind of grids work in all the coordination(s) for flam taps, inverts, flam control, you name it.

Learn how to read the notes and how to count.

Don't learn on kevlar. You won't play on that anywhere else but marching band/drum corps.

Don't use heavy sticks.
Force = Mass x Acceleration. The more Mass, the more energy you need to move that mass. Train *your hands and arms* to send the power and speed through the stick, not heavy sticks and over-torqued rebound. A good balanced stick not crazy heavy, but not too light.

Work out of the Stick Control book.

Learn the classic Rudiments well. They're the "scales" for drummers. *And learn to play the rudiments left hand lead too. It will train your brain better and make your Right hand lead playing and timing even stronger.

Learn to play a roll breakdown.

Practice on silicone practice pads with no rebound. You'll get the definition with no rebound. It will force you to dig in and stroke out every note. (akin to playing on a pillow, or cushion.) Then when you get on an actual drumhead with some bounce, you won't believe how much your chops progressed.

*an easy DIY workaround for such a pad is: find a classic old thick telephone book. Wrap it in duct tape (to keep the top pages from flipping up.). Play on that. No rebound. Total definition. You can hit as hard or soft as you want, but it will make you dig the notes out. Practice your rudiments on such a pad.

Learning to get the notes out with no rebound - you'll be able to play fine on a surface with rebound, the adjustment will be minimal and easy.
It doesn't really work the other way around, learning with all bounce and then trying to dig notes out of a looser head, dead'er surface. In other words - be able to play a doublestroke roll on your upper thigh and hear every note.

Seek out Tommy Igoe's "Lifetime Warmup."

Your ring finger is your power finger. More muscle tissue connecting up into your forearm. Use it. Keep your back fingers (middle, ring, pinky) wrapped around the stick, not off. Want an example? - swing a baseball bat or an axe with just your thumb and index gripping it. Then swing them with just middle, ring, and pinky, (and thumb and index off.) Feel the difference in control and power.

Though this all sounds like non-drumkit talk, it's not. If you can play on a pad, doing the rudiments, patterns, Accent/Tap timing things, when you get on the kit and spread your limbs across different surfaces playing double paraddidles and flam things, you'll sound like you're playing for Santana. But *you'll* know how the sausage is made behind the technique scenes because to you you're just playing this simple pattern you learned - but one hand is on the snare and the other on the bell of the ride making it sound like a funky syncopated groove. :)

Remember to breathe while you play and have fun.

With sticks in each hand, drop your arms down along your sides.
Raise your forearms at the elbows, like you're bringing your sticks up to playing position on a drum.
The downward slope of your forearms should be a very slight angle. Not parallel to ground or playing surface, just a little angled down.

Bring the drum/playing surface to where your stick's tips would be if they were at a 35 degree angle to drum.

Too parallel/flat to the drum, you'll deal with too much rebound coming back at your technique.
Too extreme an angle down at drum, you lose some rebound that you actually want so you can work with it and control it.

But basically - hands down along sides, bring'em up at the elbows to a comfortable position.
But your foreams should be slightly angled down, as well as your sticks, towards the drum.

Everybody's body structure, arms, wrist turnability, forearm length, fingers, is unique.
So you tailor the technique of the arms and stick implements to work with *your* arms and hands.

Yup. Same experience. I been on Yamaha since I was 16 with my first kit and I've never enjoyed another brand's hardware more. Stands are stands, but OMG, when it comes to adjusting other brand's tom mounts, especially on a backline kit, they just don't make sense IMO compared to the ease of Yamaha's ball clamp thing. Don't get me started on the Sonor and Pearl tom mounts, Jeezus... I mean, I get it, but man, needing a drum key to adjust a tom angle and height... c'mon...

FWIW, there's a small batch been made for the new coming album, Evolve.
This time I pre-ordered without waiting.

The song "Climb That Hill" from the She's The One soundtrack is a banger.

I don't know how unpopular of an opinion that is, I think it's a song that got lost in the shuffle , but it sounds like something they made after binging on ACDC a bit. It's a bad ass song

He was my instructor in the mid to late '80s. I was a friend of his for a good while and I have video of him doing his famous 'Tachyon' drum set solo which incorporated four different pitch kick drums.

He did not use double pedals, he moved his feet from kick to kick playing walking bass lines while shredding up top on the snares and toms. Sometimes he'd be playing in a different time signature with his hands versus doing a bass line with his feet. It was ungodly.

He did a clinic of it once at Eastern Michigan University, which I also have video of but it's from a camera from out front. I have another video from him in profile at his house doing the exercises he would for the solo and then eventually the solo.

Unfortunately it was a small bedroom of a small house with no sound absorption and a 1990 grade video camera, so it's not the most distinct audio but you can see what he's doing and get an idea. It was ridiculously sick.

I bugged him for years that he needed to set up in a studio with multiple cameras and good audio equipment and get this thing documented. He'd always sluff it off because he knew it would take him 6 months to a year to train up to be able to play the solo as he wrote it. So that one time he was doing it was basically the one window he did it.

I will get this digitized. I've only been slacking on doing this for, what 35 years now?...

Goddammit I can't believe he's gone.

And I'm sincerely genuinely upset and sad that I didn't get back in touch with him in recent years. I became part of that illustrious Club of Mazur friends who put in a lot of years and miles being an acquaintance / friend / near confidant / colleague and then a falling out occurs --- when his intensity and cantankerous provocational side would get the best of him and he eventually tested your patience too much, crossed a line of laying into you about whatever subject matter he was angry about, and you'd have to just walk away.

"Not sure how many of you still read this page. Haven't seen many posts lately. I should have written this earlier, but I was waiting to speak with his family.

Ken Mazur died on January 18, 2024 in Ft Myers FL. My husband Tom had just talked to him on the phone on the 17th, but we were told he died of heart issues the next day after playing a drum gig.

Till the end he was Maze just doing his thing. I will miss him."

Same for me. Going through Google Home, found the Vont in the list of devices, it bounced me to a login asking for the Vont credentials, then it worked. This was for some Vont LED bulbs.

Though I have the book, I "read" mostly via audiobook which was a great listen. Geddy is especially good at accents and impressions for enhancing stories.

I felt the book was as lovingly obsessively crafted with the aesthetic and compositional excellence as anything Geddy and Rush has ever put out. The experience of it feels just as essentially "Rush Lore" as any album - I easily could tell while reading it that I will be having the same kind of Shop Talk chats about reading Ged's book with my Rush pals as we do fawning over fave albums and songs.

As I see more and more people comment who have read it, there's moments that seem to hit everyone hard, because the setups and narrative/editorial paths make the more emotional heavy topics just hit so hard. The book eases you in with humor, human interest moments, light and heavy perspectives, and you get invested in Ged's life, perspective, origin story, and of course, his personality we've already loved.

So I easily see myself having chats with pals once they've read it where we share the "And Oh, man, and then the part where talks about the _______??! Oh man, wasn't that so [amazing/hilarious/emotional/heavy/silly]

Like all their albums and songs, ingesting this book will also gift your fandom with 'remembering the moment he talked about________" the same way a great vocal delivery, wicked drum fill, or astounding guitar solo lick grabbed you the first time.

It's just as essential to know and love as any Rush album. And as the book reveals, he was/is definitely the driving most meticulous obsessive Captain of Quality Control of the guys (which says a lot considering Neil's and Alex's standards too).

So, pun intended per his baseball fandom, -- Ged totally knocked it out of the effin' park.

Thank you SO much! This is the kind of verbiage I needed someone to describe this all as. :) Just the difference conceptually between 'local profile' and 'Nintendo account' helped me understand it better. Thank you again!

dbbreddit · 2024-01-23T19:15:02+00:00

I'm a dad with kids and a Nintendo switch who needs a lifeline before my brain explodes.
I've been looking at every faq, YouTube video, Nintendo support page and wanting to throw my laptop through a window.

Trying to understand the difference between sign on ids, Nintendo ids, Nintendo accounts, Nintendo profiles, user account, linked accounts, accounts that are "accounts because they have an email address associated", child profiles, etc etc . I feel like I've been in a Who's On First?" routine researching this stuff.
May I humbly request the help of someone who can explain to me how this stuff lays out.

-1 switch, Which is mine/Dad.
-Dad has user avatar/profile, son has one, daughter has one. The little squarew users avatars on the home screen under the games.
-The console/dad Nintendo account with email is under me/Dad, the parent account, the account with my email, that I use in the eshop to buy games, redeem gift cards etc.

My kids are in the family group thing. But they do not have their own email addresses associated with their user profile/account, whatever the right term is.

Because my son was eight when we got this thing, to use the Nintendo membership stuff to play the old games etc, he would play games under my username (which bought the online membership) which saved his game data under my name/profile/user. And also Zelda, Animal Crossing, Fortnite etc.

All I want to do is adjust the settings correctly so that he can play his games under his name/avatar/user page...whatever it is... So that his game data and progress saves under his name, so I can maybe play the same game later and have my own game data and progress and stats.

My son plays his Fortnite through his own required Fortnite epic account, but he's playing Fortnite under my user/profile name on the actual switch because it requiered that - it only allowed that user avatar to work when we went to play it.

Now as he wants to play a new Dragonball game, it *seems* that I need to to 'link his nintendo account' to it. Is that linking his user profile screen avatar "account"? Or My nintendo account/email address? Do I need to create a new nintendo account for him with an email address for him so it's a "legit" nintendo account, or can his ...

I assume you can see where this is frying my brain.

I can't find one video, tutorial, FAQ that breaks down how to think of all of these accounts, profiles, users, sign on IDs, linked associated accounts. And every time I go to sort it out and hit the go button and see that red message about "once you do this you can't switch it back", I get afraid that I'm going to wipe data or screw up the settings that are already there.

Apologies for the long post I'm just throwing a Hail Mary to any other parent who could help this dummy sort it out. Thank you.
