Did you get a free shaving kit with your oils?

I swapped out my swat mats for the shovel mats. (Iowa: the land of two seasons-shovel and swat)

RB..I paid 32$/can -2L...FCP price matched the lowest price on the net...otherwise would have been 38$/2L so right around 16$-19$/qt

LOL @ designer oils. I tried lubromoly last oil change... no noticeable diff, but since the leak I couldnt get anymore lubromoly so I had been topping off with castrol synthetic. Prob replaced most of the oil, so will prob wait till january for next oil change.

I didn't do anything today but did notice that the tire shop cleaned my rims. Does that count?

Replaced the #^$&%*# CCV/oil separator. What a job. I'd like to meet the guy who decided it was a good idea to mount that thing under the intake. In a dark alley, please.

Otto makes it look easy. It's not. I've got about ten hours in the job. http://blog.bavauto.com/8003/diy-vid...lation-system/

In other news, the X5's new owner should be here tomorrow to take it home.

It's a fun job the first time you do it huh? At the shop I worked at guys were doing it in a couple of hours without taking off the intake manifold. I was like nope, no thanks... took the intake manifold off and did it in about 5 hours. I have big hands though and for my sanity was glad I did it the way I did.

What specifically are you guys having problems with? My stuff looks rather fresh, but is the uninsulated. I have been thinking of getting the insulated kit. It doesn't look too difficult.
