ahhh!!! oil spill

[03gtdrkpny]

So I'm changing the oil in the '03 for the first time, got my filter seal pre-oiled, and have the Mobil-1 bottle sitting next to it. My wife comes through the garage, accidently kicks the filter into the open bottle of Mobil-1 and dumps it all over the floor. I had to run to Advance and get another quart because I only had the 6. New rules in my house, wife or kids do not come in the garage when I've got the hood up.

Whoops, thought I was in Talk when I posted, oh well....

Anyone use 0W20?

Anyone use 0W20?

That about as thick as water?

you're using the right stuff..

Got to be thinner. That's what Mobil recommends for 5W-20 Ford and Honda's. Personally, I think it's a little too thin for summer and might put 5W-30 in the next change.

Exactly. For summer, a 30 weight might be better.

i have been using 0W-20 since I got the car. But like someone said, it is about thin as water. For winter, its great stuff, but now that summer is comming up, I'm thinking about using 5W-30. Not to mention 0W-20 is hard to find around here for some reason

I'm going with 5w30 mobil 1 syn in the future as well..

women in garage = disaster. Chain them to the stove. Then they won't complain.

You all must have the wrong woman!
My wife installed her own shifter (OK, not that difficult) and installed her own Bullitt Pedals (and those who have done these know how much of a pain getting those pedals on is).
We both get our fingernails dirty with our 2 GTs!
