very nice... glad you got that workin for you...

now for manny, dude many ppl say... bahhhh oil weigh dont matter...

i personally think it does... if your engine is made to run a thicker oil, then theres a reason you should put a thicker oil in it... and vice versa.. make sure you got the right weight, cause that could possibly mess with your oil pressure too.

very nice!! i did at one time say, aaahhhh whatever just gimme some oilll dont matter.. but i seemed to run into more problems just putting random oil in...

from experience, you cant *like my dad always says haha* half *** these things lol

Just think, if your engine is made for a thinner oil, but yet you put the thickest you could find, what would this do? It would make it run alot slower, if not, blow because there is so much pressure.. im glad you got this taken care of... and im glad you got your problem fixed also roush.... no sealant on the threads sounds like a good reason on what was happening.....

gl with burning off the oil HAHA i hate that part lol

Thanks. I actually took a few quick pictures too I forgot about. By the looks of it (hell, I know), it was a problem for someone before me too.

I've already got a fairly new one, but it isn't exactly the DD/commuter type, lol. All in all though, for the price of them, they are good, long lasting cars.

That pic is the signature. Check it in your User CP.
