When I purchased my 318 I installed a new motor, and obviously changed the oil. With 2K miles driven since, the colored indicators are now in the red when I start the car.

Works every time and there's one less tool I have to track down BTW, I even colored the tops of the pins with a paint marker for quick reference. __________________ 4 MORE YEARS BABY!!! | | | 06-07-2008, 10:13 PM | #8 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2007 Location: Erie Pa Posts: 161 | Quote: Originally Posted by cooljess76 I bought a case of beer and stole a paperclip from one of my classes.
