I think this is the general consensus. I believe it was touched on a few times by a few automotive C-levels in the news. Almost a subscription based service (TaaS - Transportation as a Service), especially as AD (Autonomous Driving) becomes standardized. The rationale is that this vehicle a...

I agree, was making the statement that it’s just preferable you don’t use anything outside of a regular high quality oil and shorter OCIs. MMO just a reference to other products and tricks of the trade (Tranny Fluid) that are usually thrown out there.

Generally the older advice and it is sound advice is that it's better to do it over time. It will gradually clear up on it's on as you do your regular oil changes on time, maybe 3k instead of 5k depending on the type of driving you do. Generally you could replace 1 qt or 1/2 a qt of oil the...

There is also a lawsuit regarding some engines from Subaru that areally burning oil. I'd research and monitor the vehicle to make sure it's not something more than a potential fill mistake that one time.

Wow, lucked out that I didn't stumble upon a corpse yet. Thanks for sharing! I never had this issue before so mice never crossed my mind. Lol

I didn't do anything about the clip, it closed the lid (it's loose) but the clip is actually part of the box in there..so replacing it would be a monumental effort. I went outside and removed the wiper cowl and really couldn't find an entry way, but I know it has to be there. I'll try again...
