Yes,they are low.All I can go by are the 8 Diablos I have owned.Maybe I have been lucky.I dont think so.They are very dependable cars.I would be glad to help you anytime. A.J.

I'm going in for total fluids and will report after this Wednesday. Hey AJ or others, is the battery tender a good idea?

 

I Had my 4500 mile service done last month with fluids at Crisswel ,it cost me $800.00.

 

Hey Dave,I dont use it.As I said awhile ago,use the disconnect feature in the engine compartment.You will have to reset the clock,but that is the only downfall.I dont like hooking up anything to the car,I get nervous,but Im anal.

 

Do I remember to do it after at least 7 minutes after turning the ignition off as the computers are shutting down?

 

Did someone say that?I dont remember that.I havent been waiting for the computers.Im getting old,I cant remember anything.

 

My memory is not a good as it once was, but I remember something to the effect that the cars electronics use that time to do final system checks and communication with each other (7 computers??) and need that time. Maybe the poster of that info will respond.

 

Not to bad!
