The only thing I found that would work to siphon was some narrow hard plastic tubing I had for my refrigerator water connection. It worked well, it was just slow as Mu's sperm

Good news, though, the first 1/4 Qt. of the siphoned oil was black and nasty and must have been the leftover oil that isn't able to drain from the pan

The remaining oil I removed looked much cleaner. I left it at the high mark on the dipstick so I could probably stand to get rid of a bit more. However, I don't really have the time this week. Does anyone think it's critical enough that I make time to siphon some more?

the manual says it just has to be between high and low mark. my assumption is as long as you're not higher than the high mark, you're fine

when it gets really cold your tpms may come on until the tires warm up.. best way to prevent this.. just fill with nitrogen.

I usually stop it a little short of the recommended psi when I'm filling up cold tires in cold weather just for that reason. I can't fill up my tires with nitrogen at home, so I stopped doing that after my first tire change. I also had a lot of difficultly finding nearby shops that carry nitrogen, so that was another reason to switch. But for those that don't mind taking to the dealership, nitrogen is a good alternative.

Ahh, lovely morning. Three inches of snow on the ground, traffic accidents everywhere, overcast and more snow on the way. Love winter!

Early this year in Feb I made a video about the K&N short ram and post it on youtube, since it was in Feb thus the temperature was low and my TPMS light was on too...

Someone post a comment on that page.... "Ur tire pressure are low"

Batten down the hatches boys!
Don't you have a lot of BIG trees around your house?!

Nismo89 · 10-29-2012, 02:00 PM

a few yes, but the pine forest next to our house, we had cut down for this exact reason. danger of trees on the house. and there are 2-3 other potential trees that could cause a problem but so far nothing.
