280z Oil Change

On September 4, 2021 the oil was changed on the 280z.  As with all of my older engines, I split the oil filter open and checked for any metal particles on the filer media.  Thankfully there were none.

Oil change for the 1996 D21 Pickup today.  142,238 miles.  Mobil 1 High Mileage 10w30. STP XL oil filter.  For some reason the M1-208 oil filters are impossible to find now.

The Rogue's First Oil Change

This post serves nothing more than a record of an oil change for our 2019 Rogue.  5049 miles on 2/9/2020.  These aren't the droids you're looking for... move along...

Maintenance Day

While MLK day is tomorrow, I don't get to celebrate with my wife and son who have the day off.  I instead celebrated maintenance day which is a little known holiday and regional... very regional.

To celebrate maintenance day I hoisted the daily drivers and performed oil changes.

One thing that always perplexed me is the frailty of the rock guards under the engines on newer model cars.  They are on and off with every oil change, but over tighten one of the bolts just a bit and they fall apart.

On the G37 (which desperately needs a wash as you can see), the rock guard had several mounting holes which had split.  I decided that I would fix these on maintenance day.

My plastic welding kit continues to earn it's keep.  Using stainless mesh and a fiberflex rod, I reinforced the holes and patched the cracks.

I used a step drill bit to quickly open the hole and ready the part for re-installation.

Happy maintenance day!
