Hey gents.

Just performed my first own oil change and went full gorilla mode when tightening the drain plug. Yes, I'm an idiot.

My understanding is the crush washer shouldn't even be visible in this picture, so it seems I crushed it so much it became elliptical. Nevermind the stripped plug itself (that'll be fun to get out on the next oil change).

Wanted to hear your thoughts on whether you'd keep on driving or fix this right away and lose the brand new oil. I have been monitoring it for the past 2 days and no oil leaks so far, but it's making me uneasy for sure.

Lessons learned here.

Hello friends, new 86 owner here. Have had the car for 2 weeks now and I'm absolutely in love. My first rwd car and what a difference that makes.

Had a quick question regarding oil temps. Notice my oil is often at 110-120c (230-248f) when cruising on the highway. This is cruising mostly at 130kph/80mph in 6th (downshifting to 5th occasionally when moving to the passing lane or uphill).

Is this normal? Also noticed this after just a few minutes of spirited backroads. These temperatures just seem a bit high to me.

Last 2 pics are just to share my new baby. Thanks all 👊

Ps: dw I didn't whip out my phone on the highway, passanger took the pic
