I only found it when I was installing some tailgate lighting.
What kind of lights are those?

Welded and cleaned out the garage. Founds some snap on stuff in the old tool box. A 1/4" ratchet, 2 wrenches, and a gapping tool.

If you're a quart low, just add the quart in just like oil.

Yes, used as a sixth quart... when in doubt, just check the instructions on the bottle... says the same thing.

One quart added to the oil shouldn't harm anything. The amount of detergents added isn't really any different than adding an oil "additive" like MMO or GUMOUT... if you wind up disloding enough particles to clog the screen on the oil pump, your engine is probably sludged up enough that you need to pull the valve cover and pan and clean it anyway.


... as for what I did today... I loaded it with boxes to go to the new house and when I got to work, a friend of mine had a set of subs waiting for me... 2 10" kickers comps in a sealed enclosure with a 520w amp... plan is to make a cubby box for each sub... one for the XJ, one for the WJ... I'll use the amp for my sub, my existing amp for my speakers, and we'll see what I can scrounge up for the WJ.
