1. And don’t forget to drain out your anti-freeze radiator fluid and replace it with anti-boil fluid for the summer.

2. It is also a great time to change out your blinker fluid….which is now available in a full synthetic.

3. I use nitrogen in my tires.

4. Chick goes down the street to the drug store while the mechanic checks out the noise in her car. Upon her return, she asks if he found the problem. The mechanic says; looks like you blew a seal,lady. The chick says; oh no, that’s just the vanilla ice cream I had at the drug store.

5. Make sure you verify the use of the right side tire pressure
   checker and the left side tire pressure checker.
   You don’t want an imbalance.

6. From Know Why above:”I use nitrogen in my tires.”

   I use a locally sourced 80% blend. Seems to stop oxygen migration through the sidewalls due to differential partial pressures. Migration of O2 molecules through vulcanized rubber is worse than the effects of ozone on tires. Ozone only affects the surface layer but the migrating oxygen does damage completely through the tire.

7. I use helium in my tires. Better MPG

8. Time again to put some relative bearing grease on the old compass.
   Check the shore line for fraying.

9. Muffler bearings need to be packed before summer as well

10. Is this a democrat chat group???????????

11. Don’t forget to change out the winter engine oil to summer engine oil, be sure to flush the engine with water to cleanout all the gunk before adding the summer oil. Just leave the oil plug off, stick a hose in oil filler cap, and idle the engine til the water comes out clean. When the car shuts off, that means its clean. Add the fresh summer oil.

12. Freshman year at college, my big man on campus buddy fixed the squealing of the belts on a cute little coed’s car using WD-40 spray. Real proud of himself. Within a couple days we had to rescue her from a mall parking lot when her car wouldn’t start.

13. I use helium in my spare tire because it is easier to get out of the trunk. Just remember to keep it tethered to the bumper until the lug nuts are tightened. That is a mistake you only make once.

14. Use the left-handed monkey wrench to remove the tires, remove all air and replace with the air for the correct season, then spin each tire on the pavement, from right to left in the northern hemisphere, left to right if down-under, then reattach said wheel with the right-handed monkey wrench.
    Don’t forget to service the spare tire while you’re at it.

15. Save the pink hat whales from global climate deprivation! Use only locally sourced cow flatus to prevent tire impotence.

16. I had my tires rotated yesterday so I’m good to go. We buy our tires at Les Schwabs, they rotate for free, and will fix flats for free. Had one tire that was defective and they replaced that one for free. They’re a good company to do business with.

17. My mekanix says that my tires rotate every time I drive … course I don’t drive, I’ve got a mexican for that …

18. Roads are paved with a slight crown to help drain rain water towards the shoulder or gutter. You will have better alignment and handling if you use tires one size larger on the right side of your car to keep it level.

19. Uncle Al, due to budget cuts here in coastal NC, crowned roads have been put on hiatus. The DOT now provides only tiaras.

20. Blonde went into auto parts store to get a “710” cap. Even had I it printed on a piece of paper.
    Parts guy turned the paper upside down.
    Think about it.
