Installed some Diode Dynamics HP36 Cool White LED Backup bulbs. Now I can see where I'm going in reverse!

I like the BRZ puddle light.

I changed my oil at 3500 miles.

Is it supposed to be 3500? My dealer told me 6000 or 6 months, whichever came first. Time to pull out the manual.

Your dealer is correct; that's what the manual says. But some people change their oil more frequently for various reasons. For instance, I track my car and run E85, so I change around every 4k miles or 2 track weekends.

The engine is unaware of how many miles you traveled. Knows only the revolutions. Someone who travel at 5k rpm average and 2.5k rpm average would have different mileage mark for oil change.

Just something that I do. I usually change at 1k, 3k, then 6k, then go 5-6k between changes after that. No real reason, just a habit that I've gotten into from motorcycles, which is even more often the way I ride.

I also installed StopTech slotted rotors and Hawk HPS pads at all four corners, and flushed the brake system with MOTUL 600 Pumpkin Spice DOT4 brake fluid.

Next up, unfortunately, is a winter wheel swap... :/
