In my case, it does. Changing oil every 3k miles is almost pointless, in that I've practically changed the oil already.

Need to do a valve adjustment. and tensioner

Which transmission fluid do you use?

Again, I haven't changed mine yet, but, I plan on running Honda MTF.
Right now,
I have mobil1 10w-30 in the engine, but I'm going back to amsoil for sure because of the oil consumption.
Amsoil in the transmission
Royal Purple in the Diff

Just got an estimate on the repair costs. I'm looking at $880 if they don't blend the paint or do anything to the door. I may have my insurance cover it and call it a hit and run or something.

Apparently new RS3's have a 200tw, vs the old ones with a 140tw which is what I was basing my entire decision off of.


Now I'm not sure if I want them, but I dont want to spend the extra $150 for Starspecs :/

They're going to blend the quarter but they want to try and avoid touching the door altogether, unless I go through insurance. Which in that case, I will take sand paper to my entire car and scream vandalism and get a whole new paint job LuLz

EDIT: I called my insurance company today and they said if they take care of it, it won't go against me and won't raise my premium or anything because I've never been in an accident. WIN
