				Loving wise men and witty comments here
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
			After getting in haste  a beautiful  99 TIP  55k miles 10 months prior, I've lurked around and evaluated  ton of postings  about fears and pleasant points of this car.
 
Appreciating  JFP in PA, Jake Raby, all other wise gentlemen here  and witty comments;  grin .. , moral sin  to sky angel with top up.......
 
And upgraded followings mostly about safety issues with my indie mechanic qualified in Porsche and Audi here in Seoul; 
  -LN IMS retrofit  dual row at  cam deviation 3 degree, RMS 
  -Tensioner pads all checked and intact 
  -160F Tstat, Water pump, Radiators cleaned, Coolant refreshing 
  -Full flow spin-on oil filter w/ FilterMag SS300  90lbs 
  -Transmission filter, fluid refreshed  
 
Only DIY    is rear logo here , although I've been inclined to keep all the stock shape of  exteriors and interiors during  my 35  driving years. That's the first exception.
 
Thanks members.

Two pre-CATs were dead with  error codes 3 months before that upgradings and replaced with aftermarket Bosch, then the error code  and some white smoke disappeared luckily.  
Afterward  faint blue puff on cold starts occasionally noted briefly, thought to be acceptable.  
 
On upgrading later, TB, MAF and ASO were cleansed.  Vent line for oil separator,  idle control valve gasket, other related gaskets, intake boots and  intake plenum were replaced,  After then NO noticeable smoke anymore!
 
Thanks for welcoming!

Obviously you're new......   Glad that all worked out. 
 
There was a HUGE train wreck of a thread about cats getting on your car roof, being outdoors in general, and so on. Much whaling and gnashing of teeth. Thought someone (or myself) was going to get banned!
 
Enjoy the show!

I have been reading this forum for a while now, just didn't have anything to add.
 
You sir (Timco) are a pompous Ass 
even your signature is narcissistic 
 
Why would you bring up again a tread that obviously was heated and closed by the moderator? You like to stir the poop? It is not the first time you have brought up cats well after the subject cooled off
 
Get off your high horse

Nice 2nd or 3rd post, bro. Name calling. Always the troll's last resort. Some sites don't permit that. Don't let me get to you and get some thicker skin. It was hilarious and was locked for good reason.

Until then, I have questions about what oil to use and how often to change it

Best oil to use  is Kirkland Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil 
In addition to superior engine lubrication when changed every 5 miles, gives tires that off the showroom floor wet look. 
 
Good for rejuvenating cracked leather seats  and of course for that deep paint shine after washing.
 
Almost as useful as a potato (in honor of our departed friend)
