by the way...
'bob the oil guy' insists that 5w oil is far better choice than 10w oil (for better lubrication at startup),regardless of what manufacturers suggested at their manuals (FSM) 10-15years ago.
so, what gives?
fixkick, your input please?
and also, one more question:
i flushed the coolant (5 times damn it) with clean water, then refilled with fresh coolant. problem is, i still have a little bit of the old fluorescent green stuff inside the system. new coolant is G12 pink. old was green generic (who knows? filled by PO). i know mixing coolants is a bad idea, but you think it will hurt anything i leave it like it is now for some time?
