Due for an oil change but timed it wrong to do that in January. Lying on my back in my driveway in the 30's wet did not seem very appealing.
So to my "Indy" a few days ago for oil & filter, coolant flush & new thermostat, Trans/gearbox oil change & brake fluid flush & bleed. All Redline products.
No issues with the car at all, just preventive maintenance so I knew when all was done. I did oil and filter when I first bought the car in August of 2022. Just shy of 7000 miles since then.
Didn't use a drop of oil in all that time. The Box has always ran cool but with the new thermostat it seems to run even cooler. So maybe the "lifetime coolant" was coming to the end of it's life?

August 2022

January 2024

After pick-up headed to the tip of City Island/Bronx for some clams. Almost warmed up to top-down weather:
