    Understand! Never a cool job to work on tire when close to ground level. I think everyone here agree that a car hoist is the ultimate tool!

    didn't do all of this today but more of what has been done recently or at least since my last post haha

    - I sealed my rear tail lights with some clear silicone because I noticed some condensation starting to build up.

    - Installed some flush mount LED pods in my rear bumper.

    IMO the weight of the oil and the frequency in which you change it are way more important than the brand.
