well, I've embarked on the "Great 80 Fluid Sampling Odissey"...
From now on, I'm keeping a sample of every fluid I take out of the beast!
In transparent containers so I can see what they look like.
The results are already amazing with only a few samples...
Bad side: Almost have a heart attack every time I see the PS and PB fluids I just took out...
Positive outcomes expected:
- can see how things get progressively better (e.g. in ATF partial drain and refill)
- can see if systems get cleaner each drain after the dang PO years of neglect
- can see if intervals are too long
- can impress your neighbors and friends big time
- will be able to post photos here to annoy all the procrastinators
- can detect sudden intrusion of grease in front diff gear oil (shudder....!)
- great leverage to convince the better half that the fluids need to be changed now, not next year
- great morale boost when procrastinating over whether to change the oil this weekend or not
- beginnings of terrific LC p@rn collection
will post photos in a while - will scare the bejezus out of ya, I promise...!
