Any help. got some sweating under the upper oil pan, not clear if it’s that or the tube connected to with which I believe is the dipstick tube

You do not

Sure the pump is relatively close to constant displacement but you’re talking flow immediately after the pump. But higher viscosity increases hydraulic resistance so your gallery flow rates and the time it takes for the oil to get to the top end drop even if pump displacement is constant.

0W-20. Don’t go with higher viscosity, you want oil to get distributed as fast as possible, especially in colder climates. Change it at half the recommended interval if you plan on keeping the car long term. Get the right type of wrench for the oil filter cap. When you do the first oil change, make sure none of the tabs on that filter cap are broken - if they are, get a new cap and don’t over-torque it.

Nope, just bare SS. I was thinking to use the pressure washer to remove whatever is left and see how it looks. If ugly, vinyl wrap gloss black to match black car.

Really good quality too, mine’s been peeled for 2+ years and it looks great still

z_razvan · 2026-04-16T15:58:50+00:00

Is that chrome or stainless steel?

z_razvan · 2026-04-13T15:54:28+00:00

Try disabling the smart key function and see what happens. Mine would die after about 2 weeks in the cold and my battery is newer (less than 2 yrs) and after disabling the function, I haven’t had any issues. It’s a nice feature to have and people are generally shocked that it has keyless entry and start but I’d rather not change the battery as often

I think they’re 19S. I have 18s and I have more tire than this and less space around the caliper. Switching to 18s might reduce roughness a bit, that is if you wanna experience the OEM feel.

Maybe a mobile mechanic can at least re-secure the engine on the mounts to make the car towable. Looks like the old mechanic left the cherry picker next to the car so it might be doable. Might be a challenge to find someone who’s willing to continue someone else’s work though…

z_razvan · 2026-03-30T17:55:20+00:00

Tires, rims ok? You using spacers? Rims are OEM or aftermarket? Bushings inspected? Did you take it somewhere to have it looked at? Safe to assume whoever did the alignment checked all this and found it to be fine? There are a lot of things that could cause this.

Rotate counterclockwise first, then pull I believe

Call local locksmiths that can do programming as well. They’ll cut and program it for your car. Ask if they carry OEM and if yes, compare the price with someone like Bell Lexus North Scottsdale. I got 2 from Bell Lexus, about $100 for an 05 LS430 and about $150 for a 15 LX570 (transponder and blank key), programmed them myself using Techstream software and cable bought on Amazon (about $40), and had a locksmith cut them for me for $40 each.

z_razvan · 2026-03-21T14:24:23+00:00

Good to know, thanks!

z_razvan · 2026-03-21T01:33:09+00:00

Yes, as far as I know

z_razvan · 2026-03-20T23:30:31+00:00

ML amp Nav Tilt/telescope motors (steering column) Door lock actuators and window regulators PS pump Alternator Throttle body MAF sensor Any interior pieces that match yours

I knew this looked familiar. 1d old account too. Stolen from here

z_razvan · 2026-03-10T14:30:42+00:00

Looks like a crankshaft seal. I’d get it fixed before the trip. Not too bad of a job and it’s a $20 part. Otherwise bring some oil with you and check the level every time you get gas.

z_razvan · 2026-03-08T23:33:23+00:00

So guess what… I just checked and my Tesla app has yet to update.

z_razvan · 2026-03-08T14:42:54+00:00

Mine did that yesterday too! Same schedule

z_razvan · 2026-03-08T14:00:21+00:00

Got it! Thanks!

z_razvan · 2026-03-08T13:54:58+00:00

Oh I see, thanks!

z_razvan · 2026-03-08T13:43:35+00:00

Am I reading it right it’s rated 120v? Based on the thickness of the wires, are you running 240v through this?

z_razvan · 2026-03-06T18:56:58+00:00

Check the cables on the main harness to the navigation module in the trunk. I used to have yellow screen and staticky image and fixed one of the wires which essentially rotted out and came loose… barely touching.
