Maybe since I am mechanically challanged, they thought I needed 2.
I have 2 questions, that has nothing to do with hockey pucks.
My manual calls for 5W/40 motor oil. I went to a couple of places to get Mobil1, but both places said they have never heard of 5W/40. So is there a 5W/40 oil or do you use 5W/30?
Question number 2: I do not run on the track, although I sure floor it alot on the back roads. Since my car now has a s/c on it, do I still use the stock spark plugs that the manual calls for, or the cooler one I have read about on here?
Thanks. Rick
