Just figured I'd let you guys know that Mobil 1 is on sale right now for $5.99 a quart at O'Reilly Auto.

 

O'Really? lol

 

 

Right on time! Filters sitting on the shelf.. 800 miles left on FSS..

 

Is there something I am missing? Mine doesn't show wrenches/miles/neg numbers/anything but the odom and miles driven between tankfulls...


I am guessing here, but does one prompt for the other stuff by a combination of presses/dances with the IP?

 

Check your owners manual !

Okay watch it when you first start the car.. and yes if you press twice quickly it brings up the display.

 

Oh yes, how many times have we suggested we check the owners manual? I cannot tell you how many time I have referenced this rather informative document in my replies, or seen the references to opening this precious document, I truly must indulge myself of further reading if I am to near fully understand the complexities of this complex marvel of the mechanical world. I should have known this, but as I am so quick with the reply (although not as quick with my 'hunt-n-peck' typing style or proof-reading, which takes so much time that it results in a near-total loss of continual thought processes), that I failed to pull out my (careful everyone) my backup owners manual that I cannot find at the moment due to the current affliction of spousal reorganization (I swear this is in the current DSM IV) syndrome


Yeah, I get cornfumed all the time! When I find it, I'll check out the FSS pullup in the manual... Sorry I got the impression it just sits there in the display. I guess I keep looking for those glitches that PaPa warned me about. He said (a long time ago) 'If it aint broke, don't fix it'... I see a lot of those assertions posted a lot in our forum. It usually presents as a 'how can I spend a huge amount of $ on something I shouldn't worry about but want to belong' presentation. Really should not drink before reading /posting... It usually gets a laugh, or gets me in the doghouse!

Thanks MrM, someone has to keep my on my toes!

 

You know I had to do it... LOL.

Since I don't keep mileage records for oil change that was just something that stuck in my mind for a quick ref. to when it's due..

 

Resistance is futile! I'll tell you a little known fact, I keep records of everything I do to my vehicles... Gas, oil, parts, I even have records of my previous vehicles I sold/traded in that the other party was not interested in beyond the dribble they spewed in making the sale. I figured if the next owner wanted the records, they would find me (none have yet in all my years of keeping them).
