    Just did my first oil change on my 2016 V. Went off without a hitch thanks to all the great info here except I would like to meet the gorilla that tightened the filter cannister last time. I was starting to get worried I wasn't going to get it off.

    Rotated the tire. Pulled the hubcaps and saw the wheels were totally dirty with brake dust/dirt. Cleaned the wheels and was shocked at how nice the wheels are. Can't believe they cover them with plastic hubcaps. After cleaning and waxing they look great. Hub caps are up in the attic. I have ordered the emblem caps

    Lastly, I bought new floor mats and OMG I was blown away. I highly recommend them. they look like they are part of the car they fit so great. They are rubber and liquids bead up on them. I drive Uber so clean up is very important. They also don't slip. Just have to see how they hold up as far as discolorations, scuffs, and marks. Anyone have experience with these?

    Nice job on the wheels. The center caps will make them look even better. Never heard of those mats but they look nice and seem to fit well.

    Yeah, I got rid of my wheel covers and put on the center caps (got 'em on Ebay) a couple of years ago. Much nicer looking.
