    I've spent a fair amount of time in that area and am (sadly) quite familiar with that particular AutoZone. It is also beside the only Starbucks in that town. :anonymous:

    put oil on the threads when you use the lug nut on backwards to pull in the stud. You could get some oil off your dipstick.
