So I was looking at some profiles and noticed that someone listed there oil filter and synthetic oil as a power mod. Is this just me or is that a preferance, not a modification? I saw two or three people with this in there list of mods.

 

more likely than not, it's a joke. Just like there are some people that put stickers as a power mod...only a joke

 

I guess they changed the brand of oil, so it's TECHNICALLY a modification. I would never list it as a power mod, but some people obviously did.

 

Why not performance mod, this benefits our engine to perform better and to last longer. Why not? :D

 

it's the same as saying, I added octane booster, or Slick 50, or fuel cleaner.... not a mod. "Changing" to a different brand of oil cant be a mod. Thats the same as saying, I got gas at the Mobil station on 1 fill, and Shell the next.
But it is what it is..... ppl can put whatever they believe is a mod.

 

heh, people list floor mats and such as mods too, doesn't mean much heh j/k (but not really)

 

I was just J/K

 

 

wait you mean those stickers dont work?!??

 

I have bad news. I changed my oil the other day and had my friend helping me. I asked him to put the drain bolt in the oil pan. he put it in and I heared him tighten it down with the rachet. he said he thought something wasn't right with it. so I climbed under to see no gap on one side, and a gap big enought to put a dime under on the other side. he crossed the threds and then tightened it. I was not awear of this tell after I put in the oil. there is a small leak. if the threds have been damaged can I re thread it? should I buy a new pan? someone suggested I put tefflon tape around the bolt and stick it back in. what do you guys think?

 

 

You can try to rethread, but with a bigger thread. This means you won't be able to use the stock bolt.

Personally I would just rethread, assumming you have the tools. This would probably be the quickest and cheapest route.

 

yes that would be me!

 

dangit I loved my stickers I thought they added such a touch

 

people list things to make their list longer so people think they are "cool" cuz they have a long list of things...just like when they turbo their car, some people will list off EVERY piece of the turbo instead of just saying...dezod stage 0/zpi stage 1 or something like that.

little do they know the people who read though get a nice giggle at, floor mats, oil filter. etc.

 

ok you just went from slacker to stalker!

 

i know people are going to say this is meaningless, but my butt dyno felt the difference of using synthetic oil. but i didn't think to list it as a power mod...seems as frivolous as saying i fill up at chevron with techron gas!
