Changed the oil. Valvoline MaxLife 5W30 4.5qts. I got 4qts out of it. :thumbs:
Also saw that I need to do something about the PS pump. It's leaking. Then entire bottom side of it and everything below it are caked in oil. :(

Pump, or pressure hose?

Pump. The bottom is soaked.


BFH.

You'll feel better. :D2

:lol: There's not enough room to swing it though and it's underneath the A/C compressor!

I really want to find another one of the filler neck/dip stick cap that the S-series uses. Even though I can get to it on the Silverado, I still think its just a neat useful piece.

Slaved over it with a buffer and polish. Washed the wife's car before calling it quits for the evening.

Are you taking pics?
I tried to take a few but it has been so overcast here all day that the pics don't really show anything.:(

I am being more cautious than anything, not wanting to burn the paint. I have never used a Porter Cable before and I don't want to screw anything up. It is working great and I'm starting to get the hang of it, got some pretty rough scratches out. The little fine swirls and light scratches are going away though.:thumbs:

I have a knot in my back muscles from stooping over all day. Wash/Clay/Wash/Swirl & Haze Remover/ Fine Machine Polish/ Machine Super Wax. I have 2 doors and the drivers rear bed panel to do tomorrow and I'll be done with the paint for now.:D

Hopefully I will get the Flex waxed tomorrow and the red truck washed. I have a lot of work ahead of me.:uhoh:
