My neighbor and I debated about whether it would do any damage or not - he thought not, unless it managed to block something through which the oil must pass. Looking at the FSM and peering through the holes, we didn't really think it would, but we weren't sure about the No-Slip... What I settled on was if I couldn't get it out in another hour, I'd chance it. I jacked up the one side and had it out in another 15 minutes.

With the spare tire out of there, I had no trouble dumping the entire contents of the bottle. I'm taking that [email]d@mn[/email] pump back today. [Thing is, now, I remember the last time I did this, I bought a pump, it didn't fit the bottles, and it turned out I didn't need it - this time I wrote a note in my manual... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />]

I went with the Mobil1 75W90 because that was the only pure synthetic I could find at the shop on the way home. There were Castrol and Valvoline blends, but nothing 100% synth but the Mobil1. In my test drive it already seems quieter.

With the No-Slip, I haven't heard clicking or had much additional tire noise (seems to differentiate fine in tight turns, forward and reverse). What I am getting is noticeable, audible thunks when going on or coming off the gas - more pronounced at highway speeds. Only got to 45mph on my test drive, so I'm not sure how much the Mobil1 has helped yet. Aside from that, in normal driving I wouldn't know it is there and I'm very happy with it.
