E34 oil change, door skins part 1.1

E34120324-01 E34120324-02
Most of today's session was taken up by an oil change on the E34. First time for that car, so it took me an hour. The Fram replacement cartridge came with oil rings for the cover and the cover bolt, and two crush washers for the cover bolt and the drain plug. Filled with same oil the po was using, Mobile 1 15w50. Reset the computer with my new Polk scanner.

I spent what little time remained on the E9, prying off the door skin. Finished the bottom edge. Got better results with some channel lock pliers.

My E34 was in the bay next to my E9, and on the other side was a mid-2000s M3. Just outside was a late model 530, getting new tires. So naturally we all wasted some time admiring each others rides and swapping car tales.

Had to leave early to do packet pickup for tomorrow's 10k run in Kailua. Sorry to say their packet pickup was as messed up as everyone else's. Seems like a job opportunity, a professional packet pickup contractor.
