It's an 11 year old Yaris that my daughter had turned into a Hippiemobile. It doesn't matter what it looks like

 

You're gonna have to enlighten me on the meaning "hippiemobile". Apparently I live a sheltered life and cannot figure this one out

 

Insulated but not heated. I do have one of those heaters that can attach to a propane tank. Sometimes I use that to warm things up a bit

 

When it's cold and the oil is in the pan.

 

It's covered in bumper stickers....half of which I don't even know what they are. It's also got a skull shift knob and little stuff animals hanging from the mirror

 

When it's been sitting for at least 30 minutes on level ground

 

Your suppose to check your oil ?

 

Strictly optional

 

that’s what a lot of customers say.
Kinda.
That’s why I can’t pull dipsticks out during a service

 

Oh, OH. Yea I get it now. Yea there's a couple of those at work. One has a little Fiat 500 covered in all kinds of anime style stickers and a couple "OWO" stickers. That's more of a weeb/furry than anything, but I get the idea. Then there's an older 90's box style Accord that has political/environmental stickers plastered all over the back. Even has a sticker that says "This car climbed Mt. Washington." I seriously doubt it, looked like that thing barely made it outta the driveway

 

That's the only way to get a service around here is to pull out your dipstick

 

I’ve got a boot fetish. Those look good. There’s a shop in NH that’s been making custom boots for generations, Limmer. Check em out. On my sales route I pass the Thorogood plant in Wisconsin. Stop there pretty regularly. Mom used to sew collars on Timberlands in the 80’s. OT by day, shoe factory by night. That’s how you put 4 kids through college.

looks awesome.

 

Thing like that are not discussed in view of customers..

 

I let it sit overnight, and when I checked it the first thing this morning, it was about a 16th of an inch above the low indicator on the dipstick. How low do you think I am? When the motor is hot when the motor is hot, the level just barely gets the on the tip...maybe 1/4 inch.

 

I'm not sure what that amounts to. I would definitely let it sit over night.

 

Tried that, still have that pesky restraining order... (J/K) (probably...)

It used to be if the top line was full, the bottom line was 1 quart low, don't know if it's still the same.

 

So I've been looking at getting a transmission cooler before summer rolls around, we do more trips through the hills and mountains in the summer. Should I try to get an oem cooler or just go aftermarket?
