Gave my baby an early diaper change.
Changed the oil (yes full synthetic 0-20) and filter (yes OEM) at 2500 miles.
And before all the 'Stick to the manual' purists start berating me I am aware of all the pros/cons of changing the oil before the recommended 7500 miles. Believe me, being a lot older than most of the puppies on this forum waiting till 2500 mile to switch out the oil was killing me. Also sent away oil sample to Blackstone labs so I have a baseline analysis. "May the N.A. force be with you". |

"There's cons to changing your oil before its recommended? "
There is a "theory" that new cars come with 'Factory Break In Oil' which has added additives to protect the engine during it's 'Break In Period'. And of course there is the waist of money argument (40 bucks for a 25-30k car.... really) |

Friend pointed out left side of my GCS 4th brake light was fading. After only 3 months of installation, wires properly tucked and protected from water .. Emailed supplier, hope they can do something about this for me.

Could be insufficient power. Where are you drawing power from?

looks to me like you lost an LED. If they won't replace it you should be able to take it apart and repair it fairly easily. most likely a bad solder joint.

No laws for the owner that I am aware of. The dealer selling it new is the only one the requirement would cover.
