Over the weekend:

30,000KM Oil change with Motul 8100 0W20
Fumoto Quick-Drain Valve
Transmission Oil change with Motul Gear 300 75W90
Differential Oil change with Motul Gear 300 75W90
Grimmspeed hood struts

I can confirm that there is no need to replace the transmission gaskets. They are completely flat and do not crush at all. I would have felt fine reusing them... but replaced them because I'm still in my warranty window. Diff gaskets are definitely crush washers, and were replaced.

I was also going to install the OEM Style oil cooler but the included gasket was faulty. It looked fine before going in, but when I started to tighten down the new filter union stem something felt off so I took it off to check and found this...

It basically "fractured". I was not able to tear these pieces further apart by hand so I'm assuming there was some defect in manufacturing. Weird, but I have ordered a new one.

Sunny days make metallic paint look ridiculously good. I love summer.
