I changed the oil and filter in the 96 and 91. And for the first time since I was 17(I'm 43 now),I went from Fram and Castol to Wix and Rotella. Bad habits are hard to change.
I had to do it after all I have read on here and heard from other people about the orange can of death. The oil was a personal preference after a friend recomended it.

Seriously?
I use fram. My dad uses fram. Haven't ever had a single problem.
Don't expect to have a problem.

Ok, so I've cleaned the radiator around the leak, and now it appears it's less than an inch long (less than 2cm). I've was first recommended to use some paste to fix it, but seeing how big it is would probably not be a long term fix. I was told welding aluminum was tricky but seeing this video I wonder if that would not be an option? Anyone fixed anything like this?

NB: The green line is an inch, each red line a cm and the blue line is the "fracture"

Unfortunately I'm in Iceland and I'm afraid the cost is going to be closer to the equivalent of 1.000 USD. That's why I was really willing to try fixing it before resorting to this option... But thanks for the feedback!

Also forgot to mention I changed my TPS the same day. It was running a bit off for a couple days, then it ended up throwing a code finally for it. Rpm's and shift points are now right on spec & runs great!
