What did you do with your Z today II

GaleForce

Had a long night. A fevered 2 year old = no sleep for anybody. He's feeling better now and running laps around the house. Mom and I feel like a train ran us over . We're happy our little dude if feeling better though.

Hopefully I'll be able to sneak out for a quick spin in the Z this aft. I'll go out to see if I can get some quality products (locally) for me to perform an oil change. I have a question for those of you using a magnetic drain plug. Any concern about having a glob of metal shavings breaking off the magnet and into your system? Its the only downside that I can see to using a magnetic drain plug.

sorry to hear gale! glad to hear your kid is doing better. hope he recovers fully soon and you and mom can rest as well.

i dont use any magnets on my oil but since the car will be pouring out oil when you undo the plug, chances are all the shavings will pour out with the old oil?

GMORNING, mr.alcheng! lol

^^ re-posting my good wishes just in case gale missed it. i have kids too so i know how hard it can be for the parents.


wheew..just got done cleaning and reorganizing my garage a little more. found some more old bottles of oil so will recycle these too next time.

looks like my door knobs shipped. will get this taken care AFTER i do the wheels swap for the Fit. it's still on snow tires and it's frikken 80F outside. was suppose to swap yesterday, but due to back injury it will need to wait a few more days. im 95% recovered.

GaleForce

Thank you very much sir . The little guy is doing better after his nap today. I think mama and I will be going to bed early tonight so we can catch up on our sleep. yes, sleep. lol

I need to change over the tires on our daily drivers as well. I just know it'll snow the day after I swap them.

Thanks . It's just one of those things parents go through with their little ones. If an occasional high fever is the worse thing that happens with him, I'll take it.

I'm ~1 hour east of the big city near Cobourg. Nice and close to the water and beach... We love it!

Thank you sir


I was able to sneak out for a quick drive. Actually found some Redline 5w-30 oil. Reg $12.99 on sale for $7.55! bought them out! Now I just need to find a K&N filter. So far nobody stocks it. I have one more place to check on Monday. *fingers crossed*

Mr.GaleForce, you are nearby Cobourg!! I was a boarding student in Port Hope for 2 years!

BTW, are you looking for K&N? Does Canadian Tire have them? I bought off mine from eBay. BTW, I am selling mine if you are interested, have about 200km on them.

GaleForce

Are you talking about the air filters? I'm looking for K&N oil filter. My local Canadian Tire and Parts Souce don't carry the HP-1008. I have a Carquest that I'll check on Monday.

I know the boarding school in Port Hope. We're considering it for our little guy. $25000+/yr is up there though considering there are some good schools in Cobourg... Still have a few years before we have to cross that bridge. lol.

Yes, I am talking about the K&N oil drop-in, I bought a pair last Oct and put in about 200km on it before I store the Z for Winter. I put them back into the package since I installed the CAI last month.

BTW, if you consider that school, Trinity College School, and you are living in the area, you can choose the day school student option. That school has a 140+ yrs of history and I had a very good time there, you can have them give you a tour, I was there about 2 yrs ago and they have added lots of new facilities.

Happy to hear your little dude is doing better! When they feel icky it really takes the wind outta their sails doesn't it?
