Hi folks,

I just did my first oil change a couple of weeks ago (thanks to sciby's great tute).

I filled the container from the new oil with the old stuff, and it's been sitting on the bedroom floor since.

I obviously can't tip it down the sink to feed the dolphins... can i put it in the bin, or does it have to be deposited somewhere?

thanks.

Jsut chuck it in your normal Bin, just make sure it wont tip out and everything is fine :D

Beh! We live in this world we should treat it better than that.

I'm not by any stretch of the imagination legit but nor am I gonna hurt the environment if I can help it (so.. only when I drive my fossil car).

I usually hunt around for a garage or mechanics that has their waste sitting outside and dump it in with their stuff. Helps me sleep at night knowing it's being disposed of properly AAAND i haven't had to go searching too far to chuck it.

Anyone in sydney, I suggest you take it with you next time you are out at Eastern Creek or WSID, they have recyling oil bins there. Just tip it in and pat yourself on the back for a job well done.

any servo that has a workshop will take it. Also any mechanic should take it. I think they get it picked up for free anyway so just drive round to an industrial area where there are a few mechanics and shouold be fine, most will be happy enough to take it. Sometimes they make you pour it though, so dont spill it on your work clothes. Otherwise the tip.

    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
