Happy bday to Munch's wife!


BTW, You should get it good 'n hot first, then jack up the rear end up to get the most out of it.






Oh, and good job on the oil change too.

I let the oil get to 130, not super hot but it was starting to get pretty foggy in the garage. I already had the car off the ground waiting for the splitter install or I would have drove it around for a while first. I jacked the back of the car up about 6 inches higher than the front and let the oil drip for about 30 mins, I'm too impatient to wait any longer.

Man I am so slow on your jokes... I just got that after I posted my reply.
