My 740 puts a smile on my face too! I disagree with all that needless customization. To each their own. At least it's one more 740 saved from the scrap yard! June

Fine for you folk in southern climes, but it is going to be just above zero tonight up here - not sure a straight 30wt would allow a start tomorrow morning! They make 5W30 among other multi-grade offerings. Interestingly enough at 55° ambient temperature it poured easily. I expected it to be thicke...

I see the convenience factor of using an external pump as a plus rather than dashing back and forth for the key, but I usually have another warm body home with us at school without a paycheck for a year. Anything less than awesome for June DIY isn’t fitting enough. We did the Gibbons method ( hose ...
