Yes, I see 3 more members from the Ottawa area. I could start a new thread under "eastern Ontario". What is involved in registering?
I bought the car june 11th from a lad in Brantford, on. The car needed some attention. It was summer driven only as well. First thing I did was balancing the tires. Second, adjust the windows to stop the wind noise. Also, the rear hatch latch was improperly adjusted, only latching in the first position. Third, I did an oil change. Sure has a neat oil filter arrangement. The darn thing swallowed just about 8L of oil. I am not using synthetic, not sure if that's ok? I reset the maintenance reminder but I am tempted to do another oil change before that 11000km comes around. What do you think?
To register, just submit a request to Sparkie on this thread asking to be added to the list.
Sounds like you you know your way around cars a bit, what with the adjustments that you've done, etc. I'm a little concerned about the oil, though. I believe the only recommended oil from Chrysler/Mercedes is Mobil 1 0W40 synthetic. I'd be tempted to flush the system & get the proper oil in there now. Do a search on the forum about oil - there will be a lot written about oil & filters. I haven't looked into it myself, it's just something I didn't mess with. The factory says "do this", and I did it.
