June 19th I will receive my third joint replacement in 54 weeks! A well meaning friend said, "In a year you'll feel like a new man!" I'm sure I will feel much better a year from now than if I didn't have the surgeries, but I'm not expecting a reversal on the impact of aging. I try not to waste time "waiting" to feel better. I won't be able to drive for at least six weeks following my upcoming right knee replacement. I've started looking for a used mobility scooter or electric trike or mini golf cart to rent/buy that can take me to the local malls and shops. I know my wife will drive me wherever I need, but if there are tools to help me maintain independence, I will take advantage of such devices! I am sure there are members who have experience shopping for a vehicle that doesn't require a licence or peddling! Any recommendations?
Talk about throwing people for a loop! The newer Jeep 4-cylinders (2018+, "Hurricane" engine) make people think they're hallucinating when checking the oil. A proper oil check, described in the owner's manual, is exactly 5 minutes after shutdown of a fully warm engine. Not before 5 minutes. Not when the engine is cold. You have to take a reading when the recirculation in the turbo and top engine has drained down, but not completely empty.
When those engines are stone-cold, the dipstick reads almost 1.5 quarts overfull. When they're warm right after shutdown, the stick may read almost empty..
If you change the oil and dump out 5 quarts of dirty oil including changing the filter, and refill with 5 quarts, this really can mess with your head if you check the oil later on and don't know what you're looking at.
