No wonder we have turbos failing, you trust that they put in the correct oil?

Oh don't get me started on the wrong oil subject. I got free service and oil changes for 1 year to "thank you for your patience and understanding " last time I battled GM.

I'm trying out a new dealership. I let them work on Reed's car first

I gave them the lifting pucks and told them the hood is fiberglass - don't F it up!

Ordered a custom license plate frame and finished the design for my instrument cluster gauges.

Deep has a point here, with free they may want to give you the non-synthetic. Insist on the good stuff, since the General is paying. New DEALERSHIPS, may need to be "trained" on our cars and their needs!!!

While they may make the mistake of putting the cheap stuff in, it really isn't a choice as our cars require synthetic.
And
Fortunately, if you have the stock Oil Fill Cap it says Mobil 1

Well that went well

. They told me I needed all my fluids changed. Not the first time a man has offered to do that for me

They said at 30k (I'm at 41k) you should change the tranny, rear diff, brakes and a couple of others I can't remember. They only wanted to charge me $600

Business must be a little slow these days. I can see why...

Well I got my DDWorks front brace and relocated the power steering reservoir. I hope I didn't get too much oil in it.

I drove her to the Dealer to have my Key Fob fixed,. They told me that the battery holder solder joints come loose and it loses contact. I drove home took it apart and was able to fix it myself. I should send them a bill for repairs maybe?

Also bought new (3V Lithium CR2032 ) 2pk. Its working again

i wrapped the lower chrome (by the foglights) with vinyl carbon to get rid of some of the chrome looks. from a distance it looks great. if you look at it real clos it has many imperfections.
what an amateur i am!!!

Good Job. That's a hard area to wrap.

I have a appt at DDM on Thursday if anyone wants to meet up...

Arabas · « **Reply #2521 on:** February 28, 2011, 09:15:32 AM »

thx for your kind words!
if you actually look at very closely, it's not that good.
at least it looks good from a distance

Sorry, I would, but I'm still in VA.

How bad is this turbo oil-return, really?

That's what they sent but I really don't think that angle is optimal. Anyone else using the oil-drain as a return location?

smartin · « **Reply #2524 on:** February 28, 2011, 10:47:04 AM »

My Solstice got new brakes and an inspection. And if I ever want to stop on a dime, it'll give me five cents change!

Spent some of Saturday TOPLESS and doing TWISTIES.
