You have tips and tricks to have more care of my Crossfire?
Things like:
Every X miles you have to change the motor oil with 5W-10 synthetic
A related post could help too.
All the members was polite, kind and helped me a lot.
Thank you for this community!
Many of us use 5w-40 full synthetic oil, when changing the other fluids use only those recommended from the list in the owners manual.
Do not substitute as the car is very particular about the correct fluids: anti freeze, steering, transmission etc. You can also search this forum for what others have used when changing fluids and filters. Change fluids and filters at recommended intervals.
You may want to consider purchasing an oil catch can, "Needswings" website has a can designed to fit the Crossfire and comes as a complete installation kit.
Keep the car clean inside and out; Use a good wax and polished, also use a good product to keep your window seals and door/hatch seals protected from UV rays. Best to park in the shade when possible.
Check the plastic trim pieces that surround the windshield are tight to the car. If they wiggle and feel loose remove them, and use new two sided tape to getting them stuck back to the clips which hold them in place.
