Thanks trained amateur!

Special deep well, good to know. Well I finally got under the car to change the oil. My mileage was going down so I figured it needed to be done. So I went with the Super Tech synthetic. Boy do I smell oil now after each start-up & down shift. We'll see how long before I have to add a quart. I have a tank full of driving for gigs the next three days, so I'll keep an extra sharp eye on it.

I see where that sensor is located. Other than taking the seat out, looks like it should be pretty straight forward. I have a rain leak somewhere, so I hope the bolts are not that much of a bear for the seats. The carpet was ripped out by the last owner because of rotted carpet smell.

BTW, for a NE Ohio car its entire life, the underside doesn't look to bad really I saw some rust starting at the bottom of the rear quarter panels so I put some UMO, used motor oil, on the rust. should help! I also put some grease on the underside door lip on all 4 doors. Had some rust starting on the drivers, more like a rust stain on the outside bottom paint. At some point I will have to open up the door panels to check inside.
