@xd_gangster69 never question the methods of a florida man

I can just imagine the headline, "Florida man arrested after finding turkey in the back of his truck."

"Florida Man arrested after taking pet turkey on a honeymoon"

@LegoGenius16 thatโ€™s something Iโ€™d see out here in Illinois

2020-11-12 18:55:22 UTC  

Can I ask ya'll about used cars?

2020-11-12 18:56:04 UTC  

I don't know bunch about cars, although am somewhat "mechanically inclined," enough so that I can check very basic things if I can look at the car in person.

2020-11-12 18:56:27 UTC  

otherwise, I don't know what to look for in a used car. :/

2020-11-12 19:00:28 UTC  

Things I do know how to do are check for oil/fluid, error codes, and I can gernerally tell if a car isnt handling correctly due to steering being off or the transmission feeling rough. I can also usually tell if idle speed is good and some of the things that may be wrong if a car isnt idling properly. That's about it though

2020-11-12 19:17:09 UTC  

Suspension, make sure you check the suspension. Bearings, usually you can hear them. When purchasing a used car, always allot for a tune up, breaks & rotors and tires.

The interior is also a sign of neglect or good use. If someone has taken the time to take good care of the interior most likely they have maintained everything else

2020-11-12 19:30:05 UTC  

depending on where you are. rust. I always tap around the rear wheel wells and rocker panels to make sure it's steel and not something like bondo

2020-11-12 19:44:22 UTC  

thx guys

2020-11-12 20:12:50 UTC  

So, quick question

I have a 2017 WRX, and I did my oil change about two or three months ago at about 54,000 miles

2020-11-12 20:16:08 UTC  

And all was fine

2020-11-12 20:16:59 UTC  

But, weirdly, the other night when I went out for a drive, the oil light (NOT the one in the gauge cluster, a separate light in the center of my dash) was like "time for an oil change"

2020-11-12 20:17:13 UTC  

I have not even put 1000 miles on the car since the last oil change

2020-11-12 20:17:37 UTC  

That would be a service light in my reckoning

2020-11-12 20:17:45 UTC  

Yeah but see that's the thing

2020-11-12 20:17:56 UTC  

It's not in my gauge cluster with all the other service lights

2020-11-12 20:18:39 UTC  

hang on, I'll see if i can find a picture of my interior

2020-11-12 20:18:48 UTC  

Not a warning light but a reminder to get a service done light

2020-11-12 20:19:10 UTC  

It's on that screen in the center of my dash above the head unit

2020-11-12 20:19:28 UTC  

And... that's a fair point

2020-11-12 20:20:18 UTC  

Turn ignition to run(one position before starting)

2020-11-12 20:21:18 UTC  

Using the control on (I think left hand side) of the steering wheel

2020-11-12 20:22:20 UTC  

Pull the i/set button towards you to bring up selection screen

2020-11-12 20:23:50 UTC  

Use up and down arrow to highlight the MAINTENANCE menu and pull the I/set switch towards you

2020-11-12 20:24:45 UTC  

So I basically just need to reset the maintenance timer or whatever it's called?

2020-11-12 20:24:58 UTC  

Select the maintenance item (oil for you) and pull the I/set towards you

2020-11-12 20:25:02 UTC  

Yes

2020-11-12 20:25:08 UTC  

Okay, good

2020-11-12 20:25:22 UTC  

That saved me a lot of typing lol

2020-11-12 20:25:30 UTC  

I figured that's what it might have been, but I was concerned that I was somehow burning oil

2020-11-12 20:25:44 UTC  

So I just wanted to make sure that wasn't what was happening

2020-11-12 20:25:58 UTC  

These damn boxer engines man

2020-11-12 20:26:35 UTC  

No you would have cluster located warnings for a problem
