and use a screwdriver to "press something"
Randy,
The manufacturer's usually say to use the key. But a screw driver works as well. Ciao Wayne |

Re: :) Aredubjay: Unplugged
So Randy, you are saying that you just had a new engine oil changed because of probably over-tighting a non-oem gasket on the oil drain plug? lucky you, you found out that... otherwise, you might fry your machine...your machine just had a new oil changed and should have a long life to go.. if you were at traffic jams and the nut fell off...your dashboard should respond you the engine oil light on, right??? unless you don't know and don't read your warning light....
i have a similar experience....make it short, my altima se's oil filter was fallen down at one nite after i started my engine... how did i know? a lot of liquid like pepsi(because it was raining and mixed with rain) coming out under my engine and after that i found a nissan filter on the floor. ??? And My engine oil warning light was on after i started my engine!! surely couldn't start my engine again!!! no engine oil in there!!! 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!! good thing was i found out very soon else i might fry my engine!! so i don't know what did i learn?? ... but if i will be more careful on buying parts....

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.

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 would also find the idea of me actually stripping the plug very unlikely.

At any rate, it made for an interesting adventure -- and, I'm sure, a lasting impression on the Audi Allroad that was tracking me when the plug went.

If someone can tell me how to format/convert a PDF to any of the supporting file type, I can post the instruction how to disengage shift in an emergency.

Re: Re: ......and to think, i let you do a mod for me??!!
Aredub,
What do you think about holding the next meet at the end of your driveway? I'd love to see what will happen to your car when you back it up 50 feet to a meet... VK Quote:
