I get oil changes at my tuner shop(GRD)...I get a chance to talk over issues ask questions and they get a chance to do routine checks on my car also.

 

My car is so low, its a huge pain to work on. I usually just have it changed if the car is in the shop for something.

I've been thinking of getting four low profile ramps to pull it up on to do oil changes. I'm not even sure if it would be enough room. I guess I'd just have to get a dog food bowl or pie pan to put under there to catch the oil.

 

Sweet Thanks Guys This Helps Alot.

What do you use to clean the MAF sensor?

 

With the oil type air filters, it is nessarary to clean the MAF sensor. They just came out with a product and GRM mag did a review and found that the cleaner data is accurate and highly recommend it. The cleaner I use is:

CRC Mass Air Flow Sensor Cleaner

 

How do you apply it?? Remove the MAF and spray..

 

You got it - remove, spray, let dry, install : all done.

Great idea for us who need the MAF to be accurate all the time. The oil from your filter can foul the sensor and give a miss reading. And when you FI a NA compression engine - that can spell trouble if the MAF doesn't read correctly.

 

MOODDUDE .... Can you get CRC Mass Air Flow Sensor Cleaner from any auto parts store? Or, do you have to special order it from a distributor?

 

Good tip......thanks.

 

I've been talking this over an thinking about it a bit.... think I am going to stick to an annual spark plug replacement schedule.
