    Use a high quality RTV and cure 24hrs min before add oil. Doubt it will ever leak. Have never had any issues doing it this was And if Rather that than a failed oil pickup and a blown engine

    Changed the oil pickup tube in the pan as its plastic and car is 13 years old. Well it looked brand new offcourse...but for 30 bucks something. Intersting that about atleast 1/2 to 3/4 qts stays in the pan and spills out after you remove the pan... Replaced the oil filter holder aswell nothing...

    Stupid Question - Air Pressure Readings??

    TPIS sensors have batterys inside also. Special tool needed to test them i think. Not worth repairing really if broken our out of battery the sensors. Rather useless system on cars..better to check cold once a week with a good gauge in my opinion. on Big aircrafts yes they are usfull :)

    I used the dilution method. Just sucked out fluid from reservoir and refilled took a drive and repeated 7-8 times. Worked out well. Was probably orginal fluid inside as it was clear but no issue with PS system. Now on i just suck out and refill each time i do a engine oil change. Should keep...
