    Nah, it's all good. Something I've been meaning to do for a while, but forgot about it as almost all my parking is on flats. Actually was quite funny after just putting the brakes on stopped at the store which the parking lot up front is on a decent incline. Car in neutral, put the parking brake on and I'm still rolling. Hmmm :rofl:It's a pretty easy task, I just hope the adjuster isn't seized...

    Speaking of vitamins and NO dinosaurs.....this is my next OC. Probably going to stick with this from now on. 10w should be zero issue in my climate. We'll see. Maybe 5w in the cold months. But I think 10w pumps down to -15°.

    Definitely....shoes first. Though it probably couldn't hurt to look under the center console and make sure some knucklehead hasn't taken all the adjustment out of the cables first

    That 4.0L ain't gonna care either way. Hell I ran 0w40 Euro oil in mine at one point. I did feel it felt smoothest on Valvoline Syn 5w30. Now the weird part is the 3.5L in my current truck doesn't sound as quiet on Valvoline 0w20 as it did with the factory fill. Unfortunately I still have 4qts left in a jug to use up. Ehh, might just slap it in the Camry...

    I like the 10/30 synthetic Maxlife for it's HTHS of 3.3. That's pretty good.

    Mornin stockers. Late night at work, just getting home and cleaning up the dishes. Guess I'm going to be driving the truck all next week, despite me previously saying I was avoiding doing so.

    Late last night my close friend messaged me asking if he could borrow my corolla for a week. Said he killed his focus (older one but with less than 120k miles.) I asked how he killed it and he said something in the engine died, when he pulled the plugs the fourth one was "smooshed"... I'm impressed that car killed a connecting rod!
