Yeah I said at the end of the vid, the gearbox was less noisy as a result and also selected reverse more easily.

@@ChromeFlakes I mean, regarding the fact that using an oil other than genuine Honda oil, some say that it can cause damage, is that true? What is your experience with this?

@@elvistorrejon8875people who want to sell the genuine Honda oil may say this. 😅 If it damaged your gearbox there would be class action lawsuits for gearbox replacements. The fact remains Honda are not an oil company. Often the company that makes oil for them, also makes it for other manufacturers and companies. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was the exact same oil as the “genuine” Honda oil.

No need to. The only cable you unplug is for the footwell light which isn’t activated on the base model anyway. 😂 I also have a 2022 model 3. The procedure is the same; it is just a bit easier to take the cover off the filter housing.

@@rileywolf69 yeah the ebrake disengages as usual. Steering becomes heavier and regen braking does not work.

@@user-jl3of4eq9r glad to hear it Bede.

No need! Thank you sir!

Pretty sure it does.

Good advice that's what I will do

Good luck!

maybe not all oil was drained, eg some old oil is left in the filter. actually gearbox expands on hot engine so its better to fill as much as was drained

@@KARALISinc when they drained it was there watching the whole thing only like a Quarter of a litre came out of it literally nothing was in there. cowboy mechanics didnt clean the hole well with something I see people use some sort of sprays on YT, also seen opening the filling hole socket and lowering the car back down helps get rid any remaining old oil inside the gearbox. The oil that which came out looked not bad extremely dark or completely gone so the new oil shouldn’t be be effected as much mixing with the old oil (if any little amount was lift inside). What bothers me, I saw on a toyota forum that 2.5litre it is needed for the gearbox oil change on my car model, but they said its 2litre they presume things general or what cause all cars not same. the cowboy mechanic supposedly filled 2litre with a fluid extraction filling syringe kit vacuum pump which makes it easier to pour it in that tight space, I saw his last pump he didnt get it in the hole maybe properly and it fall around the edge hence it was dripping out down a little and mechanic said its full. But he was pouring and pumping the oil in too fast maybe it wasnt given time to settle in hence it dripped down little amount. Whatever the case I certainly wasn’t 2litre let alone 2.5. It was more like 1.7-1.9 was filled up so it’s well short. But luckily I seen how the process works and done and it’s not rocket science so, ordered myself 24mm socket spanner, got couple of car jacks in the garage in my backyard, so am gonna try fill another 0.5litre myself and see how it behaves. Then I’ll update :)

Yes sir!

@@ChromeFlakes thats awesome I’m going to do it now. Thank you.

Not too bad with the right tools.

Single phase.

Pro tip! Thanks man

Thanks mate, all the best.

Hii. How much liter needed?

Sounds like a great idea. Who smokes these days anyway?! Surely someone somewhere has 3D printed a holder for a garage door remote under there.

Glad to hear that!

Thanks, you too!

Sounds great fun! The issue you might have is the arch liner is hard to get out of the way with the wheel in place. Ideally you’d cut a little hatch over the connector. Or splice in a bluetooth on off switch.

Possible but hard to reach

Wire in a switch.

I think for me, I’m going to turn the wheel all the to the left and try to stick my whole arm in.

No issues with it getting hot. I used the same charger and charged off a standard 3 pin socket (2kWh) on a 40°C day and it stopped charging for a bit as it decided it was too warm. So it does thermally manage itself. I’ve never had it switch off or get too hot when pulling 7kWh which it has does almost every night for the past 2 years.

No need, it’ll come up with alerts about the disabled safety features, but they go away once you plug it back in again.

Working well for 2+ years now. Also have the same set up on another Tesla. Went for the 5 pin second time around.

@@ChromeFlakesthanks for the video, very nice! Why 5 pin over 3 pin? and the US based tesla tail link now is saying: "Note, this adapter does NOT fit the outlets in Australia that look similar (the Australian version is available from our dealers in Australia)." no doubt the Aussie version will be $200+ !!!

@@frankylie I must’ve bought an Auzzie compatible version of the 5 pin second time round as my socket was from an Australian vendor. 5 pin is just more popular, it’s found in caravan parks and farm buildings. You can take it on your travels to give you more options if you’re going rural.

Just that one my friend!

Thanks mate! 😂

@@ChromeFlakes forgot to say. Cheers for the video👍
