Yeah EH! hehe

Well i'm heading back to the dealer next week for a different issue and I'll try to get them to refund that.

Now when I turn on the engine I get a warning flash twice saying "Change Oil". Its not the oil symbol on the dash,but just below (where the mileage is normally shown).
Don't understand how this could be as I just got them to do an oil change 2500km's before.

They probably didn't reset it. save your self a trip to the dealer :wink:

Change Oil Indicator Reset Procedure - Once an engine oil change has been completed, the PCM duty cycle counters can be reset using the following procedure. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position, but DO NOT start the engine. Slowly depress and release the accelerator pedal fully three times within ten seconds. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position. If the change oil indicator illuminates the next time the engine is started, repeat this procedure.

Yeah they sure want you to change the oil often, even though in the book and by their free oil changes its every 6 k. My oil change idiot light goes off every 2500 miles. Pretty annoying, but now that I know how to get rid of the ding ding. "You could learn a lot from a moderator"

I'm old school and do my oil every 3K... but then again, I run the crap out of my KK.

I think I might know a thing or two :wink:

.. going to do this brake adjustment tomorrow morning. Even after I mentioned it to the dealer whilst getting an oil change [hey, it's free for life] they said they would adjust it. And they did. By 1 click. So now instead of not working at all. It works when you reach that very very very last click at the top. Dealer = BS (more often than not)

Question though: How long to let it roll back down a hill? I live on a hill, so this is going to be easy.

Did this in my drive way. Helped a bit. Then went to a nearby culdesac and it worked out better, not as steep, and way longer. It stops by the 3rd click or so, Thanks. Saved 70$ (sorry KK_Canuck_Guy)

you can roll down the hill is doesnt need to be big.. you just have to be able to roll back if you're in neutral( speed isnt important really)... if you put the car in reverse you can do it also... just obv done go too fast cause if you do when the brake is pulled the car will jerk...
