This repair is only paying techs 1.7 on flat rate including an alignment. Doesn’t seem like enough time to me to do this job properly. I’m Not planning on taking my car to do this anytime soon.
I was thinking of removing the orange plastic piece at the end of the dipstick, looks to me that the metal part of the dipstick with the holes remains beneath it.
Stuff like this is why I don’t go to the dealership unless something major breaks under warranty. I’ve had my fair share of bad experiences. For the most part they are used to dealing with people that are not car enthusiasts, that really don’t care about things we care about.
WOW! I suggest you get some Vaseline for your irritation, you can keep changing your oil based on AAA research. I’ll change my oil whenever I feel like changing it, and we can still be forum friends 🍻!
Factory recommendations are intended to make the car last its warranty coverage period. The general consensus among mechanics that actually care about the car lasting a long time, it’s to change the oil every 5k miles and a minimum of once a year regardless of mileage.
Exactly my thoughts! I could add a curbed wheel and also a chunk of tire cut off. burning your clutch because most people don’t know how to drive a manual transmission.
As far as I know it’s only oil changes and tire rotations. I’m not using it as like working on my own car, and I want to avoid dealer shenanigans, I’ve had plenty of bad experiences. I’m also using amsoil Signature series, I’m pretty sure the dealer uses some sort of syntetic blend oil.
