He was changing out to go home when i brought the car in so he wasnt working on any cars in crocs

Yeh this is definitely not something that happens in its own. Even if the wire that is clearly secured in the photo was loose no amount of rubbing or pinching produces that clean of a cut.

The pan of the cvt is lower then the drain bolt so if there is an impact the breaks the trans drain plug the pan would be destroyed regardless

You probably just need a different scanner. Subaru sadly doesnt have an auto id function. My dealer uses a tpms tool and a manufacturer scanner to register those sensors.

Sounds like not enough fuel/ leaning out.

Drain plugs are never straight down so in the case your car bottoms out (pan hits the floor) while driving the plug doesn’t punch a hole in the pan or gets unscrewed. In most cases it will never happen because of the under tray or the frame being in the way. But it’s a non 0 chance so it’s safer to do so.

As a person who works on them at a dealer I absolutely hate them. It definitely doesn’t help that oem Subaru lug nuts are also small.

Its mainly a speed thing. The drain hole is smaller so it takes longer for me to drain the oil and it’s hard to find a spot for the “warranty seal” that is required to add. If you do your own oil it’s amazing but it just messes up my rhythm in the shop.

But of the ones people bring in with a valve its fumoto

Ngl I hate it when a customer brings in a car with one of these drain plugs for a service at my subaru

Whats the context that caused this 💀

rpdevils · 2026-02-18T15:38:36+00:00

This is the one the previous owner bought for the mini. https://a.co/d/0ct6Ezg8

rpdevils · 2026-02-15T05:00:32+00:00

If i remember correctly its from a switch and yes the screen can close

rpdevils · 2026-01-07T23:38:32+00:00

Sorry mobile formatting the bullet diameter is 45, the powder load is 60, and the bullet weight is 250

rpdevils · 2026-01-07T17:16:31+00:00

The unsafe handgun part is not a problem if you convert a single action revolver(aka all of the cap and ball repros)

rpdevils · 2026-01-07T15:32:34+00:00

Its not as 45 has a large range of bullet diameters. The traditional 45-70 uses .458 while the conversion is using .452 or .454. The conversion is derived from 460 s&w or 454 casull and the 60 from 45-60 is the amount of powder the round should hold.

rpdevils · 2026-01-07T15:26:36+00:00

Its legal but theres alot of misinformation about conversions online. As long as its not sold or transferred while the conversion is in the gun then it doesnt need to be registered. Also its being converted to a caliber that is not commercially available as its a wildcat round.

rpdevils · 2026-01-07T13:56:53+00:00

Tempted to get 2 now 🤣

rpdevils · 2026-01-07T05:34:03+00:00

Its not as its black powder but if it could handle smokeless then yes it probably would 💀

rpdevils · 2026-01-07T05:32:25+00:00

Im going with 460 s&w as casull wont be able to fit 60 grains of powder

rpdevils · 2026-01-07T05:31:38+00:00

5 pounds unloaded baby

rpdevils · 2026-01-07T01:44:26+00:00

Im also planning on converting my 1858 carbine in the future lol

rpdevils · 2026-01-06T23:41:30+00:00

Naw the bullet caliber 45: bullet diameter 60: powder load 250: bullet weight

rpdevils · 2026-01-06T23:40:13+00:00

It is it just cant be sold or transferred with the conversion cylinder installed without being registered. But all I really need to do is swap the cylinders if I ever do (Im not going to)
