I hate cars

So apparently I'm going to be selling my oil stash among other things, most likely the entire audio system. I bought a new toy and I'm in the dog house big time so I said I would sell off as much stuff as I could. Ill probably be putting something in the classifieds soon. Just thought I would mention the oil here since its already screwed.

Matt, shoot me an PM with all the oil + filter you have left shipped to KS 66062...will pick everything from you if the price is right and you wont have to post anything in the BM

I hate cars

Ish... The mids fit in custom kicks. The amps fit under the seats. The 9s in the doors require a bigger hole to be cut but they fit very easily. Ill include all cables to reach the PS8, amps, speakers, etc. Most items were bought new and ill be selling for 1/3 the new price as a package deal. Nothing is more than 2 years old. Ill clean out my inbox because this will get locked down if its not in the black market.

You got it. Give me an hour to get home, I hate working the weekends.

^^^ I am working this weekend too...we are Going Live and I have been at work since 6AM and I will be here for another 6 hours LOL....and a 12 hour shift tomorrow....

what weekend

but its not all work, there is fun too:

NCAA BB baby !!!

I hate cars

That's awesome. What do you do if you don't mind me asking? I assume IT? I like the Acura keys and pill bottle lol. I would give you this stuff free of charge but the fiancée is pissed I bought my dream gun, a 338 Lapua so I have to get a little something for this stuff. Going to clean out the PMs now.

yeah I am getting a root canal done on Tuesday so on the antibiotics....I hate taking pills but I did rather take pills than pain....

and I would have not taken the stuff off for free Sir...everyone works hard to make the $$$

yes, I am in IT and currently with Sprint...my company has contracts with (pretty much) all telcom companies (from Sprint to ATT to Comcast to Cricket) and am here with Sprint until May-ish and then to where ever they need me to go

I hate cars

That sounds like fun. I actually worked for a tower company putting up and maintaining cell sites when I was younger. I got out of it a very long time ago, climbing up to 1,000' with a fear of heights sucks but right when I got out of it we were upgrading equipment and antennas in anticipation for this cool new stuff they were calling 3G lol. I put up at least 20 Cricket sites in Central Cali and worked in their switch center. I actually worked in IT for a few years after that before moving on to a much simpler but specialized controller used in the oil fields. It's nice because the oil industry is not affected by the economy. Ill probably get laid off tomorrow for saying that.

I hate root canals I have a really bad horror story but ill wait till you're done lol.

^^^rofl....I think i have read that somewhere on Azine....

A close friend of mine here works with Att putting up towers....some of the pix he shows me, scares the living crap outta me....

holy shit you are my hero.

nobody knows that round and i've had idiots "300 magnum is better"

I hate cars

Lol. Ive heard the same thing. It's been my dream gun for a long time. Way too much gun for my skill level but hopefully ill grow into it. At $5 a round I plan to buy the dyes to reload but even the brass is $2.

To be honest I had given up on getting one since they're not cheap but the many references to it in Chris Kyle's book made me impulse buy one day which caused an impulse beating from the fiancée. I don't have it yet and I hate to say I feel like a kid on Christmas Eve just counting down the minutes.

Okay, so waiting on my phone to load pictures but i was under my car fixing a stupid broken hose clamp on my exhaust yesterday and noticed my filter has some weird cracking on the end of it, not sure if the lower control arm made contact, or if it's just some weird heat affecting it, what concerned me is when I picked at it, it had some oil under it. NOT good...

Anyway, RP filter showed up yesterday and I'll be getting the oil by Thursday so swapping out soon enough.

^that is quite odd. maybe something shot up from the ground and hit it, or it is a manufacturers defect. i've never seen an oil filter spider web like that.

anything spill on it?

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

no sir, I don't think so, and the wet spot was UNDER the spiderwebbing...honestly, the crinkle is for grip, that's not the abnormal part.

Hacura

^^^change that ish out now bro, Thursday might be too late.

sixsixfour

i dont think something hit that filter. almost like the covering is warping due to heat.

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

Yep, but I did think it odd that it was oily underneath...unless it was just oil that leaked onto the side of the filter, made it's way under the coating over time and then warped it.

Either way, my RP oil is showing up today and already have the filter so I'm likely doing it tonight.

Not sure if it's the pics but that Fram filter looks huge! The RP filter is tiny.

Being you are Mr. Curious, I assume you'll be tearing the filter apart once you replace it? I'd like to know what happened to it also; like if it is leaking from the inside out or if something did hit it and puncture it, causing it to leak small amounts of oil under the grippy coating.

I gets sh*t wet, just ask my fiancee. I'll chalk it up to that.

Okay, leaving work, going to swap oil. I'll let y'all know if I find anything funny with the filter.

iTrader: (5)

what filter is that Jeremy? 3593?

Also, i dont see any issues with the filter....if you are not losing oil, then i just wudnt worry about it and not change it until you are due for an oil change (or if you are ~100-200 miles of an oil change, then i would just go for it)....

Hacura

Is 10 months too long to wait for an oil change if I'm using Redline 5w30 w/RP filter?

I've been taking long road trips in the old Accord this year and haven't put many miles on the TL. I'm barely hitting 6k miles now at month 10 and am about to change it out...I figure I'm fine but am wondering how far it can go without engine damage.

TIA

Can't believe I'm reading another oil thread, but the answer lies within the Owner's Manual, MID or 1 year. Just remember, resetting the MID early will not indicate the specific services due if that's of any interest to you.

Pat04TL

I'm reminded of Acuracake's sage advice a year ago to a similar question.

See post #2:

MID is at 30% with 5800 miles starting month 10.

^^^ not sure if you are reading the thread buddy....

MID/ECU has no way to calculate the oil life...keep your OCI's (Oil Change Interval) to 5000 miles

Turbonut

iTrader: (1)

20,000 posts???????
That is precisely what the MID/ECU does, calculations based on various data and recognize the correct time for a change.
Change it when the MID indicates or 1 year max.

Did the change on Tuesday!

Matt, make up with your wife, you'll miss the hell out of your system, man.

2nd oil change with magnetic, looks pretty good.

my new way of keeping the oil off the subframe


.5 quart of M1 EP, and 4 quarts of RP HPS

swoosh

iTrader: (5)

When I deleted my EGR, my oil life went from 100% to 0% in less than 1200 miles....The driving style or location or any of the did not change....before the EGR delete the oil used to last 6000 miles according to the MID....

None the less, I have always kept the OCI's to 5000miles....

and yes, I do not follow the manual word for word....

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

I don't even pay attention to the MID. I do my 5 to 7k (when I forget...)

iTrader: (5)

I lol-ed Jeremy....you forget for 2K miles LOL....you one of a kind

PS: I mean that in a good way

Well, in my youth, I didn't...but as I get older I think I try and cram too much sht on my hamster wheel. I remember once 2 years ago, I was buying oil for Betty's Accord and though, Sht...when did I do mine. I looked and totally forgot for 2k.

^^^ ahah thats funny....

I have a master spreadsheet which does all the calculations for me

If you did like, I can share it with you

iTrader: (1)

did you find out what happened to the filter?

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

Naw man...I was limited on time so I just swapped out. Honest, felt like the heat just made the rubber grip on the outside brittle...no other "leakage" to speak of.

Anil, thanks man...but I'm already too "calculated" I think my head would explode.
