    Dumb question... what oil?

    i'm the same way. even though some people say synthetic can go for 5000, i'm changing it at 3000. that's why i'm a little weary of the 15000 mile stuff. maybe i'm over-cautious... :rolleyes:

    Dumb question... what oil?

    my hood is alive

    i think it might be the fact that the latch needs to be greased. it's dry as a bone now that i look at it. where do i get grease for this, or can i just use some spray on lubricant?

    my hood is alive

    Hey everyone. So I was sitting at Chick-Fil-A this morning eating breakfast when I looked out the window and noticed my hood was popped:shock: . I had looked at it not a minute ago and didn't notice anything. "What the hell?" was my first thought. So I went out, looked at it, and closed it...
