It’s been a year since I purchased it. With the move and everything, I ended up driving nearly 10,000 km this year. I wanted to change the oil sooner, but the timing just didn’t work out.
Time for the first oil change after purchase.
The end of the year really does feel different (*´ω｀*)

What… what’s going on? I’m imagining all sorts of things… The drain seems loosened and not too far away. The oil filter is new too. Oil pressure is alive. When I pour oil from the top with the drain open, it comes out. But it doesn’t reach the level gauge.
It came out so little, it was like a Serow! If it consumed this much oil, the engine should be running much worse…. Maybe I’ll change it again next month… Nothing serious has happened though.
TownAce oil change memo for next time
I used a 1/2 ratchet because the oil filter location is awkward.
Changed at 75,441 km.
Could I have forgotten to add it? That’s what I keep imagining… Hmm, it’s puzzling…
