Weekend maintnence
Posted: Mon Mar 15, 2004 5:00 pm
This weekend I changed the antifreeze over to Engine Ice. I also changed the engine oil and tranny oil.
I kept small samples of everything to send into a service we use here at my office that keeps track of info on the samples. We use it on the big trucks to determne excessive metal or other contaiminents in the fluids. It will be intersting to see how it fairs over the next few months.
The engine oil as still clean and the old filter looked good.
This was the first fluid/filter change since I got it. It has about five hours run time. There were a lot of small metal bits in the tranny filter. I figure that is probably normal during break in. No big pieces, just tiny bits.
I put 600ccs into the tranny but the windwo still reads low. Any reason for that?
