Good luck Posted by Ari [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Update on broken belt/overheat, Chris M, Tue, 5 Nov 2002 12:41:35 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Changing the oil is always a good idea. Oil breaks down quickly under high heat. The oil degradation due to heat produces acids, and unless you actually have the TAN (Total Acid Number) of the oil checked, you aren't going to see any difference in the oil. Degraded oil doesn't look different.
It is possible to do the change with the fender liner in place, but I think you did the right thing. Yes, you can do all sorts of heroics, gymnastics and lose only some of the skin on your hands, but in the end, you probably saved time and dermis.
You're probably fine, and here's to many trouble-free miles
