Changed my oil. took me 4 days
It's been 7 month and some where around 3000 miles
Why 4 days, I dropped the sump plate. I did it last year to check.
I still need to cut the filter and examine but the sump was super clean.
I'm much happier with this locktite 5900 application then last years. Last time was on my back, colder weather, trying to apply to engine side. I wanted to kill my self
This year I applied to the plate side. At least I could stand up and apply
That Locktite plunger system is the worst possible way to apply this stuff. Trying to push the plunger, maintain a steady hand and a small bead is painful. This stuff will not flow through the 1.5mm hole.
I got-her done though so now I can sort of relax. I still nerviously check for any signs of leaking

Agreed - I had a terrible time doing it. I saw a picture one time of a tool like a caulking gun that this tube slips into and then you have a way to put some real leverage on it. I have never found the actual tool yet.

If I ever do this again I am going to use the Drei-bond which comes in a metal tube with a winding type handle built in to help force out the sealant.
