@CincyRovers Which Mityvac to get for oil changes? I want to take this on moving forward as well.

 

No oily shirt this time? I am the disappoint..

Amazon have the oil too. Best price you'll fid I reckon. I've switched to the OEM Castol now that Amazon and Walmart sell it. It's even cheaper than the TopTec.

I agree with you on the therapeutic benefits of DIY oil changes. Very relaxing.

 

NAILED IT ! Great chatting while you were doing this mate.

 

I have the Mityvac 7201, which has a 9.2 quart capacity, more than enough for my P300 that has a 7.4 quart capacity.

P400s take 9.3 quarts, and V8s take 8.5 quarts.

You'll need a larger vacuum pump if you have a P400.

 

No oily shirt this time. I did wear a t-shirt and some old work pants just in case of any mishap. I'm still pissed about that shirt. It was one of my favorites.

When I had it serviced at the dealer, they always used the OEM Castrol. The Liqui-Moly is supposed to be top-tier stuff according to all of my mechanic buddies, so I'll stick with that going forward.

I have a few oil barrels at work, so getting rid of the used oil is easy. However, they are literally in the corner of a room, and the funnel was up against the wall. I had to awkwardly lift and pour the oil into the barrel. It wasn't until after I poured the oil into the barrel that I realized I could've just used the Mityvac to dispense the oil into the drum. That was stupid lol.

 

Oh for sure. Liquimoly is a good oil. No questions there. It's just that it used to be cheaper than the OEM. Now that has switched.

One of the things I love about the Mityvac is being able to switch the direction of the pump. Makes for easy filling of empties for future disposal at Autozone or similar.

Impressively neat garage btw.

 

Installed Milltek non-resonated exhaust = PERFECT, sounds almost as good as my F-Type now. Took longer to get the OE Exhaust off than to install the new exhaust, the upper rear rubber hangers were worst part. Having read some other reviews about drone, I was surprised that both my wife have no issues.....regular or dynamic mode.

 

Appropriately with these wheels and tires, a pavement princess location

New takeoff 5098 wheels and tires (factory Goodyear Wrangler ATs) plus a new battery ahead of some longer road trips in non-winter conditions. The literal crypto bro I bought them from 2 years ago said they had TPMS sensors. Not true. He took them out. Had 4 new TPMS sensors put in, the updated rubber stem LR156918. My 2020 had different sensors with dumb “breakable on a rock” metal valve stems originally LR070840. There was some concern on my part that the updated ones would not be compatible as the parts catalogs are confusing, various new Range Rover forums report compatibility issues between them -- and JLR still makes the metal valve stems and sell them -- Parts catalogs and sellers told me I needed the original ones when I first got into it. Not the case the new ones work perfectly and way better for my partial offroad use case w/ flexible rubber valve stems.

I’d honestly forgotten how smooth and quiet the truck is on the stock setup compared to my usual 33" KO2s. The KO2s aren’t bad, but factory tires are silky by comparison. With the added weight of the bull bar, winch, and rock sliders, the stock tires actually give my 110 a very settled, cushy quiet ride.

That said… they do look absolutely wimpy.

Also swapped the battery. Went with a Duralast AGM as recommended here. Built-in handles, correct vent location, and at 61 months the original battery was giving warning msg every cold AM here.

 

Your AGM has a vent ? None of the Odyssey I've used for almost 20 years now have ever had a vent.
