I don't think I'm grumpy, I don't sugar coat anything and people can't handle it.

Reliability is my main concern.

4 inches yesterday, 8 degrees this morning.

I took care of my fathers medical and financial needs for years after an injury. This drained my fathers savings, after you're broke the gov. takes over, until then you pay high prices for care. Keep in mind you can gift money tax free or it will go to your care.

Up to you. I would do it because the break in of the trans causes wear particles. Case in point, our Hyundai has a magnet on the trans drain plug. I did a drain and fill at 30k, magnet had quite a lot of stuff on it. I did another drain and fill at 31k miles, magnet was clean.

In my construction career I did drywall, worked as a painter, carpenter, part time electrician helper, plumber helper and HVAC for a while. Every morning I wake up and assess the body before getting out of bed, then standing is the next assessment. I learned a lot and got paid to do it but the body is paying the price. I serviced the transmission yesterday in our Hyundai Santa Fe, crawling around on the garage floor with the car on ramps, not a good morning. My left shoulder is still healing from surgery, it's in the worst shape. The dexterity in my left hand and I'm left handed is almost non existent. I have trouble writing, doing buttons, starting nuts and bolts, using a ratchet or wrench. I have to rely on my right hand and that's a challenge. Doc said it could be a year for me to get normal again. I won't bring up my back.

I don't think people want to kick my ass but they have a hard time dealing with me because I speak my mind, no sugar coating. People can't take it.

Are you enjoying that sunroof now? Sorry, couldn't resist.

Now you 2 are thumping your chests here. Just change the oil more and this is all wasted time.

Still $3.00 for 85 oct.

Replace it before it won't start, you pick the time. I replace at 4-5 years, depending on how it starts on a cold winter start.

3 inches and snowing, 25 deg. Weather report is 5-10 inches by Thursday afternoon.

I don't want to see anyone who is dying, I will remember them. I won't go to funerals. We just lost a friend to breast cancer after a 5 year battle, I didn't see her for the last year of her life. My mom had 8 brothers and 6 sisters, my dad had 2 brothers and 1 sister, then the grandparents plus other deaths of their children prematurely. I went to too many funerals and it soured me. Just a sad time I will avoid.

Amsoil OE would be my choice.

A driver's license is easy to get, so we deal with the consequences.
