    I'm no expert but I had my local Jiffy Lube polish my old 2008 retired (won at auction) Police Crown Vic headlights and I was impressed!

    new motorcycle fees negotiable?

    Many car, bike, whatever dealers will have "fees" preprinted on the sales form he will use to work the deal. Long before it was all on a iPad or a PC screen and was on paper a dealer may say its preprinted " we can't change that fee" Okay so don't but if that "fee" is $300 then just take $300...

    What would you recommend to raise VRP oil viscosity?

    As someone who has owned many, many Fords 4.6L V8's. ( I have owned 7 Crown Vics many high mile used Police cars ) As a simple man I find it best to not over think things Ford Engineers have already done for me. If that oil cap has a big 5w-20 in bold yellow letters printed on the oil fill cap...
