Always check your Owner’s Manual.

1. Remove fuel cap.
2. Fuel up your gas tank.
3. Stop topping up when the fuel pump clicks (Gas can expand!)
4. Tighten the fuel cap until it clicks.

If you car uses gas with octane number 87 or higher, just stick to 87. You won’t gain additional performance or benefits with 91/93 octane gas. You might shorten your engine if you use higher term usual octane on a long-term period.

If you car uses premium, you can run regular but with decrease in power.

Higher octane fuel does not mean higher quality!

Maintenance

Regular maintenance is important. Follow the maintenance schedule.

Follow SEVERE maintenance schedule if you drive under one or more of the following conditions:

• You drive short trips (5miles/trip)
• Driving in hot temperatures.
• Extensive stop/go.
• Driving in mountain roads.

Engine Oil

The most important and frequently changed fluid in the car. Change every 3-10K depending on fluid and driving condition.

Check engine oil level frequently. Normal practice is usually at every fuel top up and when the engine is warm. Make sure it stays between the level. Top it up if it goes below the line.

If you have to top it up frequently, there is a leak somewhere.

Engine Oil Filter

Change every 2 engine oil change.

Coolant

Another important fluid in the car. Check frequently. Make sure the fluid does not go below LOW level in cold weather. If you have to top it up frequently, there is a leak somewhere.

Transmission Fluid

Usually changed around 60k for severe condition. Fluid change is very important for automatic transmission cars.

Timing Belt

Very important belt. Always get it inspected when you repair your car. Usually changed 60-100K depending on car model. If it breaks, it will be a very expensive repair for most cars (interference engine).

Appearance Care

• Wash your car with product made for car washing.
• Waxing is always good for a car.
• Touch-up any chips or scratches to prevent corrosion/rust.

Check Engine Light

1. Check engine light means there is a problem somewhere.
2. If you refueled your car recently, check the fuel fill cap to make sure it is tight. A tight fuel cap will click several times when turned.
3. If check engine light stays on, get an experience friend get a OBDII reader to check what Codes your car is throwing. OR go to a mechanic if you have money.

10. Disconnect – from dead battery (Car 2).
11. Disconnect – from good battery (Car 1).
12. Disconnect + from both batteries.

Changing flat tire

2. Put transmission in Park (auto) or Reverse (manual). Set the parking brakes. (Same warning as above)
3. Turn off the engine.
4. Remove jack and spare tire.

Digital Stopwatch. Since the LCD came with the kit broke, we replaced it with a $8.50 LCD with backlight but it requires soldering. The original LCD for this kit would have cost us $30 plus shipping and it does not come with backlight.

I feel nerdy…………

What did I do to the phone today:

• Increase earpiece volume during calls.
• Set speed dial 1 to call voicemail.
• Remove “Google” quick link from the menu.

You can customize a lot of phone functions with this software.

Side by side, the font is not as sharp as the original one. The plastic sover for the LCD isn’t as good either. It is thinner, hence not as flat to the front face plate. The plastic housing gets scratched easily too.

The fonts are not as sharp. Yes, I taped my battery because I lost the cover. The battery easily pops out without the cover.

Remove the 2 screws and peel the back cover.

Remove the other 2 screws and peel the front cover. You can see how dirty is my phone.

The whole phone disassembled.

Phone assembled to new housing.
