The short way:

Several graphics apps, including most of the Adobe apps, and Corel Draw, will import a PDF.

The long way:

If you don't have the proper software, this is a trick I've used with good results. Add an HP Laserjet 4MV (Postscript) printer, set the port to "print to file", and change the printer properties to "encapsulated postscript file". When you print to this printer, you print to a file in an EPS format, which most graphics program can interpret, and you can then resave it to the format of your choice.

i'm new! i don't know how to "quote" like you guys did!?

Aredubjay: Yes, I changed my oil only a week before the plug dropped. And, no, I didn't OVER tighten it, I UNDER tightened it to avoid distorting the icky a/m gasket.
>>>so what is the best torque (N/m) to tight that plug in order to prevent it from leaking or breaking???

Aredubjay: Interestingly enough, the oil light never came on. Either there was enough oil to keep it from happening, still circulating, or, the light failed. At any rate, I've got a lot to be thankul for.
>>>i would guess it should still have enough oil/enough pressure to keep circulating!! you discovered it faster than the computer!

mr.pocket: If the plug threaded into the block, it'd be a different story, but since the oil pan is a separate, replacable part, I'm not terribly worried about damaging it.
>>> i have a new oil pan!! it was because the previous owner messed it up while oil change!! so my engine's bottom part is newer!

the reason was my dealership installed a 1.6 sentra oil filter on my 2.4 alitma engine?? too small!!! the manager apologized to me and promised to take responsibility and had my engine fully checked by computers and gave me a new oil change again. i felt the difference in btwn a big company and a small garage!!

No problem at Subaru The cars all use the same oil filter Well I know the Legacy, Impreza and SVX have the same one.

Will a broken belt cause damage to the engine?

YES

I thought the same as you. The a/c p/s or alt stops, then a friend says "you better replace that belt, its full of cracks." "Oh yeah I see that." I say "So what is the big deal? It shouldn't be a big problem if it breaks." Then he tells be that a p/s belt broke on his car once. Flew off and got caught in the other good belt which in turn made a lot of damage to the fornt of the engine. He ended up replaceing an alternator, idler pulley and both belts.

Replace cracked belts as they are less expensive.

About four quarts drained onto the ground when I stopped.

Take a look at the service manual, section 2-4, Engine Lubrication System, Page 8.



Part 7 is a baffle plate that fits under the crank shaft. Check out the oil pan. There is another baffle plate in there.

Is it really baffleing why the oil stayed in?

So, what you're saying is, that the oil is double baffled and would have a battle getting through both baffles? Baffling

Yes it is baffling but the fact remains, four quarts ran out AFTER you stopped. Doesn't really matter why. I would like to know if this is common for any car or a Subaru advantage. The baffles are good for other reasons I know, they keep the crank throws out of the oil so it does not foam and the baffles help air get out of the oil before the pump intake. Less air in the oil while driving and going over bumps and such.

Randy, your post got me thinking about the Butter Battle Book... which got me thinking (never a good thing) about Dr. Suess...

Which led me to... look out my "brother":


Oh the places we'll go! And the things that we'll do
When our oil pans are filled with black dinosaur goo!


Someone pick this up and roll with, would you.



Back to my pretty padded room I go, to eat my applesauce la la la

And the people we'll meet, and the things we'll see,
As long as the plug in our pan isn't set free.
