With going cross country, I wouldn't be changing horses in the middle of the stream if I were you, going to
synthetic. I'm running Castrol 5W30 right now; tis fine.

On that note, check the temp that your coolant is mixed for, as NOTHING will leave you beside the road faster than a freezeup. Symptom: temp gauge goes upupup until you decide to pull over or it yaks coolant everywhere first.


When I put in a new rad back in august, I pour those 50/50 premixed coolant. But I was wondering if I should be pouring those 50/50 from bottle to rad directly, or have to mix it 50% with water?

Was wondering if you had a heat pad and extension cord for the oil pan? Makes a difference.


U mean a heat pad that keeps the oil warm overnight when plugged in to ac? No, but i have a block heater thing that's plugged in to the block.
