This is why you are required to have a cat, thus easy access to kitty litter for cleanup.

<p>I've been changing oil for 8 years. Still can't believe it It was only maybe 2 seconds of pouring.</p><p>Idle oil pressure is 35. Seems low for a new oil change?</p>

Woah, our fully synthetic oil in Australia is usually $80-$100 for 4L.

Destroyed 3rd at the drag strip? This was a 5-speed, right?
