Cool coat.

Topped off the brake fluid as it was low and tried to get the abs and traction lights to come on again, but they haven't yet. That may solve the abs/traction lights issue. Also put a new gas cap on it to see if that fixes the intermittent check engine light. Productive day so far.

I hate the gas cap code I had that tuned out when I got the new pcm last year . best thing ever epically here in Oregon where you can't pump your own gas and the guy at the station don't care they just slap the cap back on and call it good. Nothing like a loose installed gas cap to throw a random code every once and a wile to make you think you have a problem

Nope you may not state law
Oregon State Code lays it all out in black and white: only trained employees of service stations are allowed to put so-called “Class 1 Flammable Liquids” into cars.

Not only is the prohibition the law of the land, but legislators in Salem put a laundry list of reasons why the ban was prudent into state code. The list isn’t a short one:
  • People with training in pumping are better at keeping down fire risk
  • It is nearly impossible to enforce safety standards on the driving public
  • Seniors and disabled drivers can’t get adequate help at self-serve stations, and are instead forced to find a full-service outlet and pay a higher price
  • Oregon’s rainy climate leads to more slick spots at gas stations, meaning higher liability insurance rates
  • Decreased maintenance of pumps because they aren’t regularly monitored
  • Self-service contributes to unemployment – especially among young people
  • Exposure to toxic fumes is a health hazard
  • Toxic fume exposure is heightened for pregnant women
  • Gas drive-off thefts are cut down with the law
  • Children are sometimes left unattended when customers go to make payment
