    Guess I'm lazy and hate to walk clear around the car to find the gas cap. My Mustang was like that and I hated it. :mad2:

    I agree Crash, but I honestly have no idea where I would find a "full service" station around here. they be very rare these days.

    MM, I don't think it will be a problem since I will getting a coupe. Hope they don't change them, other then the engine. :Thumbsup:

    MM, you should ask Crash. He knows all things "oil" or will hazard a suggestion. :lol:

    That needs grease not oil. Maybe a spritz of sea-sludge for good measure. :lol:
