gasket goop said wait 24 hrs

today we (bro-in-law and I) changed the oil on his sisters Sentra, Drained the oil on the Camry to do the oil pan gasket, but couldn;t get the an off, and drained the Allroad and replaced that oil pan gasket. I was shocked that I had a metal oil pan gasket. I confirmed with two places that it calls for gasket goop and not a metal gasket.

And I’m with EssExTee, $50 of oil

Is it 7 or 8 quarts in that car? I forget, it’s been so long since I had my allroad.

Still paled in comparison to the 12 quarts my XJ12 took, or the 18ish my F250 takes.

I had never thought of how much a diesel takes until I was talking to an owner and he talked about it in gallons instead of quarts.

That makes sense to me, I always thought ‘air cooled’ engines could also be called ‘oil cooled’ in a way...and you’d probably want quite a lot of it in there.

Yea. I bet those things have massive oil coolers

And don’t even get me started on the cost of iridium spark plugs. $72 fucking dollars for a stupid tuneup.

My SL takes 11qts. Magnum takes 7. The Magnum requires 16 spark plugs, the SL requires 12.

I love working on my girlfriends Accent. A 5qt jug is more than enough oil and 4 spark plugs will make it run just fine.
