Nope.

Is that really so? Would it go away by itself? Yes and yes it can go away by itself. I added coolant and changed my oil to Mobil1 synth. 10W30. You can also try 15W50 synthetic. That's what I use in my VW in the summer but I don't see the need to use this for the Jeep since the oil pressure is good with the 10W30. -- <html><form><input type crash></form></html> nospam@zero.com Replace nospam with jetta to reply via e-mail |
