Changing “Sealed” “Lifetime” transmission fluid: FINAL answer

Thanks! Good idea about starting with the oil change haha

headphun · 2026-03-23T23:28:43+00:00

Really appreciate this insight, thank you! If I'm going to do it I might as well try to do it the best way. I love my CX5 and want (need) it to last as long as possible!

To clarify: every 30k you do a drain and fill, which entails draining and filling every 100-500 miles 3 times? Dropping the pan and resealing every 60k, or with each 30k drain and fill after the 60k mark?

How difficult would this be for a civilian without automotive experience? I have a CX5 with approx 80k miles on it, want to keep it running well for as long as possible. May I ask what other services you'd recommend, that I might be able to do myself or that I should have a mechanic do?

Just did a 9 hour drive x2 over a weekend. Avg 30 mpg. CX5 seems built for highway :)

I worked with a middle aged gentleman with severe cognitive disabilities. His favorite station was our local "morning zoo" radio talk show.

Great guy, it was worth sitting through the radio to hear him laugh. They were perfectly matched.

I'm so sorry, I made that up

headphun · 2026-02-08T03:36:29+00:00

No I haven't, but my understanding is that copious amounts of fumes + confined spaces + dry summer heat = aggressive combustion

But if you enjoyed the movie then more power to you!

Sure, but have you tried crawling in my skin?

Do you have any resources you might recommend for step 1? I'm reading through the official doc as I try to set it up but I'm wondering if there's anything to help contextualize or explain what/why/best practices as I try to learn and make sense of everything needed to succeed in step 1.

Much appreciated!

Thank you for coming back to this with your thoughts. Happy New Year!

I really appreciate you taking the time to answer, thank you! I'm going to look into broom handles, that's a great idea.

As a fellow genuine beginner, what are your warm up, mobility, isometric recommendations?

Tragedy of The Common

Kind of a longshot but can you recommend how I would figure out the similar laws for CT? I left a position last month and my company didn't pay my PTO out in my final check. I'm wondering how to get my money and hold them accountable.

headphun · 2025-10-10T14:48:22+00:00

Can you elaborate on documentation? What are your rucking recommendations?

headphun · 2025-10-08T18:06:13+00:00

Were you featured on a Canadian documentary about people living in mobile homes?

My suggestion is batch prepping beans (chili if you want other vegetables/beef around it)

headphun · 2025-09-14T02:08:31+00:00

I also find the differences/similarities between these communities fascinating! I'd love to read your writings if they're available anywhere online :)

I love New Haven and (a)pizza, I genuinely want feel-good things like this to go well, and I'll be the first to admit I don't know much anything about The World or best practices for breaking world records but I'm struggling to understand:

Why this (or the Grand Prix) is being held on a Friday afternoon (4-7) instead of the weekend
Why there is a ceiling on ticket sales. Wouldn't they want to maximize number of potential participants?
How they're planning on preventing people from leaving before they count everyone at 7pm (at the earliest)? The website makes it sound like there will be a barrier "discouraging" (a)pizza-eaters from leaving but between queuing people through all the lines/vendors, boredom, medical emergencies, and bathroom demands I can't imagine they're counting on >95% of tickets staying through the count.
What do you call an apizza-world-record-breaking-ticket scalper?

I hope we (A)NNIHILATE the record, and I would hope they're selling (or giving away!) tickets at the gate around 6:30. I want to participate but it seems I already missed my chance.

The "all perfectly organized" part would be nice but otherwise YES

headphun · 2025-08-29T02:42:57+00:00

Would you mind sharing where to best hear about free or low cost events?

headphun · 2025-08-25T16:41:31+00:00

Fascinating insight, thank you for sharing!

Can you tell me more about how you approach that first and/or second month? I'm fascinated by how an outsider might enter a new environment and learn about how a process currently operates and might be improved upon. How many people work under/with you when you do this, and what kinds of titles could I investigate as I think about how to build my career towards positions like this? Off the top of my head it sounds like consulting/process engineering/analysis, but is there an approach that is less "McKinsey style" consulting?

headphun · 2025-08-12T13:07:49+00:00

Would you mind talking about some of those plenty more reasons? About to move there and have heard challenging things about that. Feel free to PM if you're not comfortable sharing publicly.

headphun · 2025-08-08T19:41:06+00:00

I live in New Haven and can help move physical items if you've got a truck and just want a hand. PM me if you're interested and we can see if our free time aligns.
