Even BMW, Volkswagen and Audi is going away/has gone away from manuals. It's what the buyers want, sadly. I understand it on the C8 since they spent all the money on developing a new DCT transaxle. It's a good unit as well. It's one of the reasons I got my 1LE when I did, because it was on the...

I may switch to those, Bobistheoilguy has some great reviews on the ACDelco filters over Wix XP.

Millennial here, I'd have a manual everything if you could get a truck with three pedals these days.

The dealership would only use an oil sample to deny a warranty. Unless there is a diagnosable issue, they're not going to do anything, agreed.

You really need multiple samples to get good data. Tracking an increase in certain metals over time can indicate wear. I agree that a good ear can detect a lot before it's an issue, I just like to jam out too much. It's also too hot here to not have the windows up and the A/C on.

So you're telling me the pills DON'T work?! :(

Yup. I do 5k intervals, or after heavy use, like a trip to the tail of the dragon. I use 5w40 for that since I see higher oil temps.

I'm running LiquiMoly 5w30/40 depending on use. https://www.liqui-moly.com/en/us/molygen-new-generation-sae-5w-30-p001757.html#tab-label-approvalsandspecifications-title

Yes and no. Driving dynamics? Yes, I get it, the E36 is a great car to thrash on. Reliability? No, Lol, it's nice to have a car with working A/C. I agree with others, a two-car solution seems to be in your favor. It's what I did. My old E36. (Sold it for the 1LE that got wrecked) My...

Ah VWVortex! Bringing me back to my MK6 GTi days!

Oh snap! You finally took delivery! Congratulations man.

I have all the paperwork, window sticker etc in a binder. If/when I get paperwork I'll keep that in there too. I buy all my oil on Amazon (and filters) I save a PDF of the purchase and put that in the folder with the spreadsheet of all my maintenance. I also have the brake fluid flush, rbf...

Thanks!

I do all my own and log it in a spreadsheet. It's much quicker for me to to just pull it into the garage on ramps and knock it out than go to the dealership. If you change your oil frequently, you're going to do so much good in the long run. Where can you log the maintenance on the My GM

Hear me out... ...LT4, in an E39 M5... ...touring.

I messaged the seller and responded, didn't hear anything back in months. FYI.

Hello fellow cheap gas having state, as we refine most of it. Sincerely, Louisiana resident.

Thanks for the clips!

Which model are you using? I have a 3500 SLX, the older model and it's no where near long enough.
