I just changed the oil on these two. And by taking my sweet time, I managed to not spill a drop of oil on my driveway this time! ... Well. A lot less, anyway.
Pontiac Vibe notes:
- As always, not a drop of oil missing. Drain pan showed maybe a few bits of the pan gasket degrading, but it’s still not leaking so no problem.
- Had to top off the coolant. Second time in over two years, so I’m not going to worry too much about it.
- Needs a brake job on the rear... freaking drums, too.
Longbed notes:
- Has always leaked oil like an environmental disaster. Situation and rust-proofing as usual.
- Shield your eyes because this it what it looks like under the hood of a truck that sat outside for 6 years in the PNW without being driven before I bought it, which now sits outside all year anyway... But at least I actually use it!
- Master brake cylinder is now leaking at the flange. First real problem I’ve had in four years! Might be the inner seals... I’m just buying a new one online today.
- Coolant was topped off, first time in two years I’ve done that though.
- Still the best vehicle purchase I’ve made and may ever make.
Happy Sunday to you all.

You’re a better crustacean than I am, this weather makes me want to take a nap. I’m surprised that there aren’t more pine needles in the longbed’s engine bay. All of my street parked vehicles have accumulated them en masse.

The logos across the back are just beautiful.
Not using my head, I changed my oil on the windiest day last week, sans funnel. On the plus side, my spark plugs should be well-lubricated...

They’ll be easier to change in the future!

given the age of the brake master cylinder, probably done a good job.
