    Oil Sensor Unit Leaking/ Tiny Hole in Unit.

    Oil Sensor Unit Leaking/ Tiny Hole in Unit.

    I have not put it in the new one yet. but yes they both have holes where i think they shouldn't. So im wondering if i can take some super glue and put a tiny dot to cover the hole on the new sensor.

    Fuel type/ Maintenace Questions

    About to do coolant flush, manual says 18.3 quarts for mine. Most originals posts are showing 16 quarts for theirs, now which is it. It’s a PPV so is that bigger coolant capacity. Need to know for proper coolant mixture. I got close to 10 quarts out now.
