    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    Most definitely will for the rest of my ICE-driving life. It's a complicated job you know, putting the same number of quarts that it says on the sheet and (actually, "or"!) checking the dipstick. WTF. It's only a $100k car. Just talked to the service advisor and I'm trying to get them to cover...

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    Who the hell knows. The repair order even shows 10 quarts and 9 used... obviously that means nothing. The worst part is even here in the middle of the SF Bay Area, this is the closest (still 25min drive) and best-rated dealer. I guess I'm gonna have to go back to crawling under my new 6-figure...

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    Welp, the tech added 3.5 quarts (to the 1 quart I added last night) to get it up to full. So they must have literally used the normal CT5-V non-Blackwing amount (5-6 quarts). I am absolutely livid, worried, fill in the blank.

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    Haha, well I added a quart last night and there are no leaks on my garage floor.

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    So the repair order says the job is for 10 qts and that they used 9. But as I mentioned, I added a full quart and waited overnight and it's still not even reaching the dipstick. Maybe the tech didn't/couldn't count. The tech should be at my house momentarily. If he only has to add a quart or...

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    Even after adding a quart and waiting overnight, it STILL isn't even showing on the dipstick and instrument cluster confirms low oil. Dealer is sending a tech to my house. I'm freaking out that I drove 20 miles with the oil more than a quart low, probably more like 2 quarts if not worse?! Will...

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    Clowns underfilled the oil. Had to run out and grab another quart from the auto parts store for my drive to the city in the morning.

    Hey, my dealer had Fruity Pebbles and Froot Loops breakfast bars on offer this afternoon! (For those following another thread, this is the same dealer asking $202k for a 5BW Anniversary).

    This was also posted today. Hard to find any review of either BW that isn't absolutely gushing with enthusiasm.

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    Did first oil change at 1,6xx miles. Service advisor said I should wait for the car to tell me to do so. Also they had a loaded 5BW Anniversary in the showroom asking... $202k!!! $50k ADM. So stupid.

    I think it's been shared that Miles of MilesPerHr bought a 5BW, his first new car. I just saw his Instagram post about why he bought it and it is... very flattering!

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    Finally gave the thing its first wash! Those Tech Bronze wheels are, erm... time-consuming to clean.

    CT5-V Blacking 6MT - Did you know??????????

    Frankly this car gets the same or slightly better mpg vs. my old 2011 M3 with a 414hp, 295lb/ft 4.0L N/A V8 pushing 3,600lbs. Seems fine for what it is. Easy to get over 20 on the highway, even mid-20s which was never possible with the M3 which hummed along at 2,800rpm at 70mph.

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    A lot of different products there... Would this be a good option with 1,250 miles? https://a.co/d/fJ0VjQn

    Anyone have a link to the specific Colourlock kit they used? Sounds promising!

    Leather or microfiber steering wheel/shifter?

    Had it in my last Civic Type R - liked it and found it easy to keep looking and feeling good if you clean it every 6 months, so changed my BW order to add it and don't regret it for a second.

    What did you do to your Blackwing today?

    Have to say my experience with the CQuartz Leather 2.0 and Sky Cool Gray has been disappointing. I applied one coat all over the day I got the car. 1,100 miles later, very noticeable dye transfer from jeans on the driver's seat, and it hasn't really done much to prevent dirt marks on the door...

    CT5-V 2023 manual went for $120k plus $5k BAT fees

    Agreed. I'm still in break-in but drove it 85 miles yesterday, first trip up to San Francisco for work and back. So comfy yet so beastly. It's kind of a conflicting feeling driving something that is actually increasing in value, but it's kind of like owning a house that does the same. You gotta...
