Changed oil and filter. Used remaining Castro 6.5 qts. Added a bottle in the spare tire well for emergencies, 1/2 quart. Tried to epoxy the spacers in place, not sure if it took. Driver’s rear bolt was replaced from last time and now is a large head Phillips. Others are still torx. I bought some “Euro”oil but didn’t use it so there is a 5 qt bottle ready for next time (will need more for a full job)
