how hard is it change it shouldn't be hard at all huh?? how much of it do i need?

Mark_Dorman · 04-14-2009, 12:26 AM

Deni...for an S54 it shouldn't matter too much. Royal Purple is good and easy to get. For turbo i'd use MT-90. I use 5w-30 in my car...but it really shouldn't make that huge a difference.

Davis · 04-14-2009, 12:26 AM

Sweet Mixxer, I'll look into that.

Haha maintenance, I'm just waiting for my timing belt to snap.

I use 5w-30 since I get it for freeeee now.

Dennis, make sure your wearing gloves, gear oil is some nasty stuff. Working on Marks tranny made my favorite sweater nasty. My fault for wearing it though.

There's a drain plug on the bottom and a fill plug on the side. If I remember correctly it's a 24mm bolt.

OMGWTFBBQ!!?!??

Oh Davis... I'd recommend getting those motor mount inserts since you do autox every month. Kirkosaurus or twos r us depending on how bad yours are. Don't know if you saw my post a couple of pages back. I was surprise mine was that bad for an N/A. Maybe the previous owner did had her fun with the car

Mark_Dorman · 04-14-2009, 12:42 AM

Hey Deni...you need about 2.8 quarts for the NA

Davis · 04-14-2009, 12:45 AM

Yeah, I saw your post Mixxer. I'm not to worried about it right now, but when the engine swap is underway, for sure I'm going to buy it. Just waiting to see if I can get the garage...

masagsxr · 04-14-2009, 12:48 AM

If you can get the garage? whose? Renting one?

Davis · 04-14-2009, 12:50 AM

Yeah a couple pages back, my neighbors are moving out and the manager says we can rent the garage for $50 a month...

masagsxr · 04-14-2009, 12:54 AM

aaahhh thats cool.. $50/month is cheap for a garage i think. Does he/she know its going to be messy afterwards with all the oil and all?

hhhmmmm Thats cool tho. Hope it does not get occupied right away after your neighbor moves out.

Davis · 04-14-2009, 12:56 AM

Hahah I'mma buy a whole bunch of cardboard and throw it on the floor and work with the garage door closed, so then noone can see me or hear me when I struggle for help!

Mark_Dorman · 04-14-2009, 12:57 AM

Dude...that's a hell of a deal. If I could rent a garage for $50 a month I would. If you can't afford I'll pay the $50 a month and we'll split it

Mark_Dorman · 04-14-2009, 12:58 AM

Oh yeah...so anyone interested in a wide body rolling chassis???

Davis · 04-14-2009, 01:00 AM

1997 Toyota Camry - $1000 OBO If I can get it in time...

and holy ****! a CE, 1997 Toyota Camry CE Clean title BEST DEAL EVER OBO it might be a V6 too!

So rare.

Mark_Dorman · 04-14-2009, 01:01 AM

OOOHHH...the 97 would be a good pick up! I don't think the other is a V6. Look how small the wheels are

Davis · 04-14-2009, 01:03 AM

Yeah, if only I had a place to store it. Just look at how clean that engine bay is!

and yeah I don't see the little V6 emblem on the corner either. Bummer.

Mark_Dorman · 04-14-2009, 01:04 AM

That would have been the find of the decade though. Why not store it in the Garage??? Or on the street???

masagsxr · 04-14-2009, 01:07 AM

Wow... daym... very interesting. Lets park it at Ji's hehehehehe

Davis · 04-14-2009, 01:07 AM

Can't store it in our current garage, we share it with our other neighbors and I don't know about parking it on the street, having to move it all the time for street sweeping ;P yeah yeah lame excuse. I just want that garage already! Get the car in, get the engine out and everything else I need and sell that sucker to the junker!

Mark_Dorman · 04-14-2009, 01:09 AM

Just deal with moving it around till you get the second garage. You could always use it as a daily

masagsxr · 04-14-2009, 01:10 AM

Yeah.. get the other one for $1K... 97 too.. so its OBDII? Anyone know what the requirement on that for the DMV with the smog and all?
