you aren't shitting! I laid on the ground on top of some cardboard for like an hour putting on my panzer plate and was cold for the rest of the day

 

Yep, thanks for the encouragement. Taking them in, and watching them use the synthetic oil and high quality filter... (I've heard bad things)

 

good idea. And make sure they don't use a god damn impact gun to put the drain plug back in. Last time I took my 97 in for an oil change they used a torque bar on an air gun to torque the drain plug and I had to use a 2ft. breaker bar to get the ****** off

 

Duly noted...

 

This is the "What did you do to your C5 today" thread right?

Commence thread jacking....

Picked up some synthetic 5W-40, new jack stands (don't trust the old ones), new drain pan and seafoamed the crank case. Just need to grab a new oil filter, and an oil change will follow.

-you may now resume with your B5'ing

 

I guess someone doesn't get any love on the c5 thread lol

 

It was indeed a good day, especially because there was more powder at the hill than I've seen in a while!

I totally understand about the oil changes though, I have been putting mine off for a while now, its been like -20 (C) for the past few weeks, finally got a nice weekend, -2ish, so I figured I would get it done! I just put my old winter coat/snow pants on, throw a tarp down on the ground and man up :P

 

Forgot to mention that I also changed my wipers, I think I still had the originals on there :P I wanted to get the BOSCH Icons but I couldnt find any locally and with the blizzard we were having I needed to get something! The rain-x wipers were 10$ off so I picked up a pair, so far they are amazing!

 

My local shop just found me my new turbo!

 

Figured out why those wiper blades were only $9 on ECS lol



Looks like they're almost as old as me!
