Trying to keep busy! (Weight reduction)
nipper replied to zombieblues's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Im not sure, but i think there is a body brace behind the dash, so unbolt it, dont just hack it out, the brace should stay. And then all that HVAC stuff can go. -

Thats got to be as much weight as the stock dash skeleton. -
A Qt every 1200 miles is acceptable, but not normal. The problem is the zero weight oil. I am waiting for this to start buying a mfg in the ail with engine failures. It is a very thin oil and is working past either the valve seals or rings. Some oil is used on some engines to cool the piston skirts and gets vaporized, but this consumption seems to be across the board. I would suggest a different brand of oil or go to a slightly heavier weight and see if that helps. The 0-20 is just for MPG gains. https://www.cars.com/articles/2013/08/expensive-oil-changes-are-here-to-stay/

Leave the wiring, leave the switches, strip everything else. Blindly stripping out gauges and wiring is a nightmare you dont need. -
Listen guys, forgive me for some very obvious questions, things I most likely know, but i have been very very sick the last three months and really it saps things out of you. The trying to communicate with Dr's when you can speak clearly, the frustration on Dr's jumping to the wrong conclusion, the tears of frustration.... My 2005 Outback Ltd is a bit of an odd bird. It has a black leather interior when it shouldn't. It is more 2004 then 2005 when it comes to diagnostics and some systems. Trying to trace down some transmission fluid leaks (tired hoses) and found something odd. There are transmission lines that go behind the battery.Do I have a filter lurking back there? I can find it in any manual or on opposed forces.
