Got the 5,000 mile service this morning. Nothing special happened other than the Service guy said my air filters were pretty dirty. Cabin and engine. Amazon to the rescue. Suprising that at that low mileage they'd want me to replace them.

First oil change. Installed a Rival front skid and it made the change easier than I expected but the angle of the drain on the oil pan is still a pain in the ass. Put a Fumoto oil drain valve on so I'll see how it goes.

It's been great and does a great job. I usually put some ceramic detailer on it every other cleaning and so far so good.

After you installed it does it light up the dash warning light like it does when you push the button on the console? Or does the dash light dissappear?
I put a Rival gas tank skid on mine and it was $399. And yes you'll probably need someone to help you put the skid on once you've got all the bolts ready. I had my kid jack up the skid on a floor jack and it made life so much easier.
The "buckle/unbuckle 20x tip" is a popular workaround used to disable the seatbelt reminder chime. It is commonly used by owners of Subaru and some other vehicles to prevent annoying beeping while driving off-road, moving a vehicle slowly around a private property, or when a heavy object is...
