But be sure to align your framistan first, or it might percolate.
There is nothing in life worse than being stuck with a percolating framistan!
But, a little advice regarding changing the blinker fluids that I learned from my kids. They don't signal turns so they rarely change the blinker fluid. Saves them tons of money
You guys are so primitive with your "air" and "nitrogen".
I went to Argon and will never look back. Ar atoms have larger radii so they don't leak as easily as nitrogen and the inert nature makes it superior to plain old air in terms of corrosion potential. Also, low coefficient of thermal expansion eliminates the need to check pressures after dramatic atmospheric change.
Don't make the same mistake that I did years ago. I used hydrogen to fill my tires and the damn things blew up!
Thinking about a regular maintenance program for this. What do you think. Is every 3000 miles too often or should I wait until the 7500 mile mark ? Is air from a gas station ok or should I go get an air compressor?
Duh... you don't CHANGE the air in your tires. You use a pressure gauge to see if the tires are at the recommended air pressure and, if they are low, you add more air until they are.

OK smart aleck, what do you do if they are above the recommended pressure?

you have to take the car and or tires themselves to a tire air recycling
center to have the excess air seal vacuumed out .. one mustant allow contaminated used tire air to enter
the atmosphere .. same as with old freon in AC systems you know ...
You should try using hydrogen instead of common household air. It's lighter than air, it will give you that jet-smooth ride. As if you're in a dirigible or something!

No, no, no. The blinker fluid has to be low viscosity or it will freeze😆
Here's a tip: when you have the car in for servicing, and it's up on the lift getting the air changed out of the tires,
Have them rotate the lug nuts too. It'll save you a separate trip to the dealer.

Does that mean rotate them in the star pattern, or rotate them to different wheels along with the tires?

My dealer charges $3.00 per nut.
