Washed and re-oiled K&N drop in filter. I got the newer cleaning kit with the aerosol spray instead of the older fluid in a bottle. So much easier, and probably less chance of over oiling/doing it wrong and fouling your MAF sensors with oil residue - those horror stories are all over the internet...
Attempted to change transfer case and rear diff fluids - failed, due to not having hex keys big enough. I figured since I'm going to buy hex keys, I might as well buy a whole new toolset to last me a lifetime instead of my current bunch of miscellaneous discounted tool pieces. Looking at Sydchrome/Kinchrome/Stanley, etc. "overpriced" tools.

Thanks to Beeble supplying me with Diaqueen SSTF, I did all car fluids today. Engine oil, transfer case, SST.
Transfer case oil came out really clean, like the rear diff I did a few days ago... I guess my driving style is not being too harsh on the diffs.
SST: 3 drain bolts. ~6.5l come out, I put in about 300ml extra of fresh fluid - due to reading that a little more fluid leads to smoother shifts and it was labour intensive having to get the intake, battery, battery tray and the ECU wiring loom bracket thing off in order to access the SST fill hole, so I filled extra to avoid having to do it all to top it up if I was short.
ECU was reset due to disconnected battery, it felt like it was still learning after my brief ~14km test drive after I finished. A harder 'reset' than typical Tactrix reflash & clear DTC sessions...

Opened & modded my aftermarket SONAR headlights, mainly to black out the DRL strip reflectors & remove the halo ring for a cleaner look.
