No, a pumpkin will eat about 2 bottles.
Lucas oil runs about 8 or 9 bucks.
Don't use rtv, do it right and get a gasket.
Drain, flush it with brake cleaner, wipe it out, gasket, fill till it starts to pour out. Done.

Buy the big jug (gallon maybe?) and a pump for it. Its cheaper by the jug and easier to fill with a pump.

RTV is a right way to do it, its not the only way. but its not wrong.

hell, Jeep still uses only RTV on all the new vehicles.

Took off factory roof rack crossbeams, leaving only the yakima crossbeams. looks much better.

Put in all components for cruise control and right after I pulled the old clockspring off I noticed the replacement clockspring is missing one of the plastic rods on the back that is spun when the wheel spins. Still no cruise control....

Watched my gf super detail my old 96 that she is driving for the time being. She spent all afternoon cleaning and detailing everything on it, probably spent more time in one day doing that than I did in the 8 years I drove it. haha.
