Good afternoon,
A couple simple questions:
1. I need to change my manual tranny fluid. I am pretty skilled, but is this something a dealer should do for warranty reasons? If not, what fluid is called for by the service manual and what fluid (weight and brand) would you suggest? Finally, tips on changing the fluid???
2. I have a basic question about the Distance Till Empty indicator (DTE). When it comes on, does it mean XX miles until you totally run out of go-go juice? Or, does it mean XX miles until you should fill up? The reason I ask is because the Z is supposed to come with a 20 gallon tank. When my DTE indicator comes on, it says about 40 miles till empty, or about 2 gallons. If I fill up right then, I only get about 15 gallons in. That means a total of 17 gallons. However, if DTE means distance until I should fill up, then I could have a 20 gallon tank. Anyone ever push the DTE boundry and found out the hardway what it means?
3. Finally, I am suddenly having trouble getting my tank to fill. I know it can be a little finicky, but that is not what I am talking about. I will squeeze in gas until it is literally coming up the pipe. Once I drive off, the gauge never reads completely full like it used too. Also, my mileage per tank seems to be down some. Anyone else have this issue?
