    $40 for a jug of coolant

    No, I didn't understand what you wrote. But you don't have to elaborate. I can live with not understanding. Not joking about working as a sales person either. 🙂

    $40 for a jug of coolant

    I see, they are investing in customer relations. The hope is that when you do need help beyond DIY, you'd go to them. But will you? 😁 I never got free parts/supplies. The parts person was kind and applied the employee discount for a year or two after I left. The dealership eventually shut down...

    $40 for a jug of coolant

    You said for customers that piss you off, you set the price up as wholesale? 😬 I worked briefly as a sales consultant at a local Mazda and saw how the sales manager and GM "read" my customers and our interaction from their desks. The best deals are with the highest gross and no penny is left on...

    $40 for a jug of coolant

    They must really like you! 👍 I have only been offered a discount on services which I never use. No way I will go in for any service just to save $20. 😬

    That's a great deal! Can you get two quarts of ATF-FZ each month? 😁

    Vague Transmission Oil Change Recs Vs Common Sense & Reality

    This is too high tech for me, weak battery throwing scary codes! 😭 Everything was fine before this though, nothing wrong with shifting. It's like saying my upset stomach is somehow related to my not wearing shades in the sun.

    Can you let them know? I am not on X, insta, or Tiktok. Trying to quit FB too. 😅

    I gotta ask, what happened to Conrad 16.5?

    If it is rain and other elements of nature then we have nothing to worry about. 🙂 I have been traumatized by coolant leaks on three of my cars, two old, one modern, which definitely changed my perspectives. 😭

    I gotta ask, what happened to Conrad 16.5?

    He was very confident that the residue in question, at the top portion of the engine bay was the result of mud getting splashed up from undercarriage. If he had attempted any work under the car or at least peeked into the wheel wells, he would have found obstacles making that unlikely.

    Vague Transmission Oil Change Recs Vs Common Sense & Reality

    If you use a hand pump or just a section of fuel hose (works like a straw but longer so it doesn't fall into the dipstick hole) you can take 5 oz out more precisely.

    Vague Transmission Oil Change Recs Vs Common Sense & Reality

    It is indeed confusing. You may have to email Lubegard for clarification. I emailed Liquid Moly before and got an intelligent answer quickly (not generic sales reply). Does the whine happen in specific gears like eggsalad's? There's a lot of info in this thread and I am sorry if I missed it...

    Vague Transmission Oil Change Recs Vs Common Sense & Reality

    Understood. Are you thinking about trying Lubegard now? There's a service bulletin from Subaru that names Lubegard in handling a transmission noise. https://lubegard.com/products/red/#downloads The list of benefits is impressive. Reminds me of SK-II products for mature skin.

    Vague Transmission Oil Change Recs Vs Common Sense & Reality

    Was the last D/F done at home or at a shop? Either way, have you checked the fluid level recently? It is one more thing to blame when things go wrong. If it is low, could there be a leak? 😬
