My bank that I got my mortgage through did a breakdown per month for the entire loan and went over it for me plus they did how much I'd save if I did certain things by paying more per month.
Good call. I honestly think I could pull a head on a c175 and reseal the upper liner oring and assemble faster than replacing two bolts on that engine.
I have not looked close at doing an oil pan on this car, but to fix it right the pan will have to come off if the threads got pulled out. I would recommend thread insert. You drill, tap, and install the insert. Work great even on aluminum.
Yeah that's what it says for sure. I was in the same boat as you when people started saying you can run full 30wt oil its ok it says it in the manual. I was like it says you can run up to one quart of 30 wt.
