ITGUY is on a distinguished road
Default

Car has 2600km (1615 miles).

Changed oil w/ Mobil 1
Changed filter w/ K&N
Installed Zspeed aluminium splash guard.

Factory oil filter required wrench to remove, was ridiculously tight.
Factory oil was surprisingly dirty. Pretty dark brown (i know, shows detergents are working) but I was surprised.

Best part is oil temps...on a day like today, 86 degrees F and a 30 minute drive, my temps are usually at the 110C mark (230f). This doesn't bother me as it is fine, but today they only hit 94C to 100C (201F to 212F).

I wont make any claims as to WHY....could have been fresh oil, far better filter, the Zspeed splash tray, or maybe the engine decided to loosen up some.

Next week tranny oil & diff fluid when my Redline order arrives.
