And here I had you pegged for a gear-head. Oh, shattered illusions...

Well, it took a year but my oil life is at 15%. Time to change it? This is more your arena, Todd.

Reserving Comment. Good job on the air filter. You keep it OEM type or a K&N?

Walmart for the oil - Autozone for the filter.

Aha! Another member of the sacred brotherhood of "Now Where Did That Extra Nut Come From Again?", glad your air filter change out wasn't affected by the dreaded mystery parts from the fifth dimension.

I don't know what's worse...having an extra nut, bolt, or washer left over after assembly, OR missing one of the same? Especially when building an engine,or changing carbs at the strip. Been there, done that.

What's worse is missing a few and having extras that don't even fit the car..... I swear there's a vortex out there for car parts....... Similar to the one where all the missing socks go.
