What did you do to your car today?

MEN54 · 05-26-2019, 11:20 PM

Installed Koni special active with Eibach pro kit springs

gamesfrager · 05-26-2019, 11:40 PM

First summer proper wash.

Used white vinegar on the initial soak, and then used a clay mit, then vinegar again, then rinse, then soap, then rinse and sealent.

Got probably 90% or more of the water spots. Amazing results with the vinegar.
Vinyl wrapped side reflectors with black gloss vinyl. Came out pretty good.

Next week the X1

Surprised at how many people never knew about oil being part of the lifetime warranty. I personally love it

I've seen people argue against using it, which blew my mind.

Wait, that's a thing? So you just tell them you purchased from them before and prove it and they will send you more oil for free? Filter also?

There’s instructions on the site about how to return the oil and filter. They encourage you to do it. After the first change, the cost thereafter is only for the shipping.

Yep. I drained my oil, put it back in the oil containers I bought, put the filter kit back in the box, packed them up, submitted a warranty claim, and made a shipping label. I also have a few other warranty claims in the box as well for a broken sway bar end link and broken brake pad wear sensor.

When you do it just be sure you place all spillable items in bags and zip tie them. They send you bags with your oil that will work great.

Same hardware as the B12 kit, but I couldn't technically order the kit because my car is xdrive.

Today I got a tint ticket for rolling a stop sign.

I use it for my sister's 2013 Jetta 2.5L. Liqu-Moly 5w40 and the Hengst filter.

I haven't used it with the BMW yet since I have some Castrol 0w40 I got on clearance.
