Watch out for that sludgy oil!

JaceTheAce · February 13th, 2007, 09:17

Holy crap!

Partly Cloudy -20°F
Feels Like

Good thing I plugged in the oil pan heater last night... or else my engine would hate me.

Are you running 5 weight oil at least? If you're not, I'd change that out prompto, if you're under 200,000 miles at least. Once you go over that, it doesn't really matter if you leave the 10 weight in there.

He shouldn't have any problems then. That's what I'm running in my car and I haven't had any problems yet, even at -30. The lowest I've gone was -45 and even then the oil light was off immediatly after start up.

I bet he's getting oil just fine, but the sensor is responding slowly. That or he's got sludge build up.

Also, the walkways are heated to melt the ice and there is a huge underground network of heated tunnels with people movers to help you get to class on time.

also, the public transportation system is comparable only to new york. BUT WAIT!!! There's more: a canopy over the entire campus so we never get snow and the bike lanes are always clear.

don't forget about the monorail that runs from Ryan Hall all the way to the Hyslop gym so you can get anywhere on campus in 5 minutes or less! and the subway from the airport to odegard!

Oh that's right. Since the City of Grand Forks cares so much about it's valueable economic asset of UND students, they've been able to make this transportation system free. It used to cost $1.50 for a one day fare.
