Service schedule came up but looks like it was just for an oil change and I’ve done that once or twice in my life so I thought I’d tackle it myself. Bought a factory change kit from bluntech and set about getting to work...



Things seemed to be smooth flowing, until I went to drain the oil. At ~34k and 5 years old I’m guessing this has had 1, maybe 2 changes. Whoever the last person was who changed the oil must not understand what a torque spec is because I put at least 50lbs of force through the ratchet before the 8mm Allen took a spin, but not the drain plug itself...



Today I ordered a new drain plug and also a few of the trashed neoprene nuts’ for the engine lid... I’ll get this oil change done...eventually lol
