Thanks. It's slow but steady. I've been kind of obsessed. I think I need to be to get it done in a reasonable amount of time. I really want to be driving it this year before it gets too cold.I like following your progress.

Well this was exciting... While helping a friend change the oil in her Lotus for the first time, we encountered the most stuck oil filter I've ever seen. The strap wrench just crushed the body of the filter, and the first screw driver I drove through it just broke.
EliseWhich model Lotus?
I fix tires for a small fee
I'm a fan of dropping the pan and only getting 1/2 vs a flush. Some trans can't be flushed and not all the places know which ones. If you flush it, go to a corporate store like Firestone or Goodyear because at least they'll buy you a new tyranny if they screw up.I am doing the 100,000 mile things on my Silverado, oil tires alignment cabin filter spark plugs belt checks and hose inspection radiator flush differential fluid swap
NEED advice on transmission flush...Midas told me they would not do it because it might cause tranny issues..another mech recommended just replacing half the fluid. ANYONE wise on this?
Flushes are almost never necessary. Still a good idea to replace fluid and filter at the recommended service interval.I am doing the 100,000 mile things on my Silverado, oil tires alignment cabin filter spark plugs belt checks and hose inspection radiator flush differential fluid swap
