Darn it is cold out!! Got the Yellow Lark out and drove it around a bit to heat up the oil,then gave it the annual spring oil change and grease job.Snugged the tranny pan bolts,as usual.Then came in to warm the hands a bit.Now to head back out and fill her with 5 quarts of Rotella Dino juice. I always use a oil filter listed for a van with that motor since it is longer and will hold a bit more oil,and filter more.Maybe I am being anal,but I allways use a GM oil filter on my GM motors,and Motorcraft filters on my Fords.
The garage I used to wrench at ,the owner firmly believed in Autolite spark plugs for Fords & Mercs, Champions for MoPars, and AC Delcos for the GMs. We never had issues with our tune ups. LOL I remember when the Bosch Platinum plugs came out,and they were the greatest thing since sliced cheese,and were being used by a discount tune up chain in town.Man the number of those we threw away!! People who never in their life flooded a car had bad flooding issues,which was also good for a couple more oil changes!
I hope it is warmer next couple of days,since I need to give the Lark its annual Spring cleaning before our Tennessee trip.
