Re: ATF capacity?

Yeah, this is a common misunderstanding, for some reason people think that all the fluid is diverted to the heat exchanger, where it can be dumped and refilled with a fresh fluid without mixing old and new fluids. In real life, some part of dirty fluid never leaves the transmission through its life....

Re: Sunroof down

passenger fender, I recall if unplugged the sunroof should work, you'll get some error mssg about alarm signal or something but the roof should function.

Re: OBD2 reader for less than $100

Re: Change out the oil or not?

Get it out on the highway for a hot run at 55mph, for at least 30 minutes. 15 out, 15 back

Re: Change out the oil or not?

I agree with StickyPocket on the arbitrary 12 month, low mileage OCI with no reasoning except that I've read of people doing so. If since February your car has done nothing but 2 mile trips to a store I'd consider doing an oil sump change then following abscate's advice. Short trips obviously create...
