The fluid that came out looks dark in the aluminum pan, does it still look dark when you dab a piece of paper towel with it? If you need some peace of mind before going for the filter replacement, an oil sample analysis might be helpful.

These are the only wear and tear that I have noticed in my 2017. A modest sized bottom can stretch out the material after enough miles. 😅 I started using a protective cover for the seat bottom after 150K miles. The seat back is intact because it doesn't have to hold my weight. I have a bottle...

What's your oil temperature? Mine is NA and today it went up to 224 at one point during a long drive.

More and more features are added for safety's sake. I am worried that soon they'd become mandatory and no longer optional. No more jinba ittai. 😬

My next oil change is in two months so I have the OEM filter ready to go with Idemitsu 5w30. Will find out if that combo runs at the same temp, cooler or hotter. 😅

I have noticed that we (owners) approach problems very differently. It has a lot to do with our mentality/experiences. As a DIYer, I appreciate all the insights and suggestions here. The knowledge will help me if/when the same problems develop on my car. For someone who's been well taken care of...

Did you try a different dealership? They are not all the same. Hope you get the car fixed no matter what!

Thank you! Do you happen to know at what temp will the car scream bloody murder (overheating)? 😅

Thank you I will try to add these too!

Thank you! I will see if I can get the TPS values with my scanner/app.

This wasn't the latest version though, it was the one that I could get overnight by Prime, at the time. 😅 I could have waited two more days and paid $10 more for the latest version.

Thank you! What would be the healthy range of numbers?

I bought a Veepak BT dongle for the BimmerLink app when I was working on my R56 in July. Now that it doesn't start any more, I use the dongle on the CX-3 with the Car Scanner Pro app. I forgot what additional features I got for $5 extra. It's nice to have 6 values displayed on one page and I can...
