I got a bit twisted up there, that's the transmission, not the oil pan right? I mean, it has to have an oil drain plug?

Almost makes me want to stop wrenching on my assortment of Japanese cars and get a For.... Nope. I promised myself after living with a Taurus for 2 years that I would never do Ford again.  This is (not) my 2016 wrx. The first time I popped the hood at the dealership, I was in disbelief.

Toyota V6 with the top mount filter. Run a line from the drain hole down along to the bottom of the skid plate. Easy

 How did this not get posted? Subaru EJ25 with the plastic under tray thing missing was pretty easy though, didn't even need ramps.

Do you have to lift the engine to change the plugs like a brz? Edit: This weekend I started to change the oil on my GLI for the first time and I discovered that while the filter is in a nice upright position in the engine bay the drain plug requires a t45 torx head which I didn't have. loving VW. Ordered a fumoto valve so once I do it this time I don't have to deal with it again. GutBomb fucked around with this message at 19:39 on Apr 10, 2017 |

InitialDave posted:It's quite common on autos. My Grand Cherokee had no drain plug on the gearbox or on the axles. Can confirm that Ford's older automatics don't have one either - my C6 required dropping the pan. TotalLossBrain posted:Counter point: Dafuq?

The only one I know isn't for sure is the STi, but that's because they're still on the ej25 platform which has a standard bottom located filter.

big crush on Chad OMG posted:My Fumoto leaked quite a bit. I've had fumotos on all of the cars I've owned for the past few years (a Miata, an FR-S, and a Fiesta ST) and never had them leak. Was it leaking on the valve side? Did you install it with a torque wrench? Did you use the crush washer?

After, torque wrench, new crush washer. Definitely leaking from the valve itself.

FogHelmut posted:I meant same as the WRX, sorry. Oh, same difference. I misread that. Foresters and outbacks tend to be harder than the standard impreza/wrx because the crossmember sits lower. I guess I will find out soon enough when my mom's forester needs the plugs replaced.

InitialDave posted:Get a manual one. The MTX75 is pretty stout. The 4F27E wasn't a bad transmission either, at least as far as 4 speed slushboxes go. Generally if they made it out of the warranty period they were good for the long haul. They did have some teething issues though - I can remember people on the Focus forums being on their second or third warranty replacement transmission by the end of 30,000 miles.

On the way home this evening, I was passed by an interesting limo Tried to get a photo, but you know, traffic and safety and whatnot. But imagine the middle section of a late 80s Cadillac Brougham limo The front end of a Rolls Royce Phantom The back end of a Chrysler 300 Painted in rattlecan black With body gaps big enough to put your hand in

There's a parking company in edmonton that boots illegally parked vehicles on every offense, even the first, without a ticket or warning, and charges $300 to remove it. There's a problem with that, it's illegal and the cops keep arresting the employees for it. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/denver-boot-legal-1.4061275 I wonder if it's legal to cut it off and drive away.

Parking should be treated as public space.  Having an empty lot next to a busy business just because the person that owns the lot doesn't want to share is a colossal waste of good land. Install meters and charge for it if you really feel you deserve compensation, but mandating it remain vacant just because the owner visits store A instead of store B? gently caress off.

If it's not government property, cutting it can't be any more illegal than it being put on there. I wonder how they'd respond if you pulled out a cordless angle grinder from the trunk? It'd probably be taken off pretty quickly.
