Oil fill cap for the GS.

I changed the oil in my gf's Civic yesterday, cleaned up, & then took it around the block. This morning I got up to check the oil & decided to check mine too. Hers was fine & mine could use a 1/4qt, so I topped it off. I ended up not putting the oil fill cap back on but didn't notice until I failed smog visual a little later on today 😂😂
 
Bulbs are back in stock....finally. Sylvania 921 bulbs to replace these:

Toyota T100 manual trans. shift lever housing seal/baffle plate. Dark pic but thick rubber and complex shape. $43 plus tax, discount price. This seems to have been the source of an oil leak. It wasn’t there at all, just a homemade gasket placed on the edges. No dropping the long heavy propeller shaft and trying to pull the rear housing

seal. This was 10x as easy.
 
Bumper, bumper fill panel and headlight for an 09 F150. Putting one of my neighbors service trucks back together after his son was in a minor accident. Hoping he can find a color matched used fender as I’m not a painter but I can hang and align a fender.
 
STP branded charcoal activated cabin air filter...picked it up locally at AutoZone for about half what any other cabin air filter would have been for my car...I've used one of these before and it has given me at least as good a service life as the OEM AC Delco had...I've never noticed any benefit from using a charcoal activated CAF but I've not noticed any detriment from using it either...

From Rock Auto after seeing a puddle of brake fluid on the ground around the inside of the left rear tire. Wheel cylinder leaking and shoes soaked. Drums have plenty of meat to reuse and figured I'll do the general maintenance for one shipping charge. Trying to keep an OEM theme going on the parts but they didn't have an AC Delco fuel filter in stock. Will have to find that locally.

from RockAuto.com...UPF-64R oil filter and a new FVP engine air filter and charcoal activated cabin air filter that shipped from the same warehouse as the UPF and other AC Delco parts shipped from...it was a bit less money and I thought I'd give these "non OEM" parts a try as I've grown tired of AC Delco's "rebate" cards that are difficult to use anywhere and the parts were twice the price...

I'll compare the FVP parts when they arrive to the OEMs that are currently in place on the GFs Malibu turbo...
