Clean Engine Bay....
I opened the hood yesterday to jump start another vehicle....and was shocked how totally clean the engine bay was - despite the exterior of the car being absolutely disgustingly dirty. Over a month of driving in snow and slush. I mean it looks brand new there?! (Our washer bottles are 4.5 litres - double US size in case someone wonders why it hadnt run out!).

It's an Acura trademark.

Am I the only OCD type guy who takes a bottle of All Purpose Cleaner and wipes down the inside of the engine bay every time he pops the hood to check the oil?

I do the hand wash thing once a week too - although in Ohio at this time of year it can get pushed out to ever other week depending on the temps.
I've been doing rinseless washes in the (unheated) garage but refuse to go out there when temps are below freezing. click -> Optimum No Rinse Wash & Wax seems to do a great job on the car when it's mildly dirty!

A bit chilly here in NC also. I started using warm water about the first of November. Will be washing it today. Highs today in the mid 50s.

Even when I didn't lease, I cannot remember when I checked my oil last. It was probably when I drove my last American-made car.

Wow! I guess I have learned to let the technology alert me. I never check to see if I have a four tires mounted, but the TPMS should let me know. if tires < 4, I am sure will feel something odd.
