What did you do to your GK Fit today?

the link below is to the internals of a ge...but still good for reference. i dont see the fumoto protruding (much if at all) past the threads of the pan. people that had issues with sludge build up probably had drain plugs that ran vertically?

Good that confirms that the Maintenance Minder for the GK Fit is mostly linear and is a good representation of the oil change/interval. For S.A.G. the maintenance minder equation relating miles driven in the OCI and the oil life is about:
Oil Life % = -0.0082 (Miles Driven since last oil change) + 98 r2=0.9925 (good correlation across n=3 Fits)
Oil Life % = -0.0082 (Miles Driven since last oil change) + 98 r2=0.9925 (good correlation across n=3 Fits)

after finally doing some research...ive come to the conclusion that i think the Fumoto on Fits probably drains sufficiently. the only concern that still remains for me is something weird like a block of ice in winter catching it. honestly ill probably put one of the first gen ones on next spring because i really like the idea of draining straight into a recycling bottle with little mess.

As for worrying about damage to the actual valve ... yolo man! Or, you can build an alum tray underneath? (heck, I rock an alum tray for my 2000 Insight, lol)

Painted tire lettering. (2nd attempt)
The first time, I used primer and all the letters came off fully before a few blocks down the road. This time, I applied paint directly to the tire. Four days in and it hasn't started flaking yet, but more time will be needed to tell if it is a viable option.
Paint used: Rustoleum Topside marine paint. Allowed about 16 hours of drying time. No clear coat.
