Wells, after I saw a few introduce, now it's my turn ! Yay, I have got my GG EvoIX MR (for 5days) and already finish break in the car ( ~800miles) . Very nice, smooth and power ride indeed.
But I realize a problem: our Evo hood is open and water can pass thru it if it rain (or if we wash the car). How do you guy solve the problem or just let it be there? Since I haven't been assigned a inbuilding parking space so whenever it's rain, my heart hurt so much

Well its recommend to change oil after break in Mobil 1 10w-30, your filter is fine.

I wash my car and my engine bay doesn'y really get wet, it's not like your spraying a lot of water in that area anyway..

Some guy awhile back put a towel under the hood and closed it and forgot about it...
