To be honest I have not even looked at my Saturn to see if it would gain anything by sealing this.
Yeah I imagine much more attention is paid to details like this on trucks since they are designed to haul heavy loads, which creates a lot of heat that needs to be dissipated. On a heavily loaded truck running wide open up a long steep grade in 110+ degree heat, these little details could possibly be the difference between the truck making it to the top without a problem and overheating to the point of something failing. Not that I would ever heavily load my car up a steep grade... https://ecomodder.com/forum/showthre...gle-37994.html
