    Never have a rounder surface than a nut rounded off by an adjustable wrench. I can count the number of times I've used one on a vehicle in the last two years on one hand. They're a fool's tool if you already have all the wrenches you need in absolute sizes.

    That oil still looks pretty good. Full synthetic? Bet you could safely take it out farther. Have your oil tested.

    High mileage Advanced Fully Synthetic. With 265K on the Motor and living in areas that get down to -20 quite often I wanna keep it safe at 5K.
    I do plan on getting the oil tested eventually, if I ever remember.
