    Seriously, the engine holds that much oil.
    Not familiar with some of the newer models of GM products. Does it have an oil cooler?

    Found out something interesting the other day. We make a few products for “retail” store. One of the customers is Lowe’s. Was inside at the receivers office. Just outside the office was a number of home appliances, specifically two refrigerators. They were taking the box/packaging off of them. Both had big scratches on one side.
    They marked them down 50% from retail store price. As a joke, I said I would give them $300.00 for the one. The department manager was standing there, asked if I was serious, he could make that work. I said no, had no space on the truck for it. We started talking about this, he said make a reasonable offer, and you probably will get the item. It was. $1500.00 unit marked down and he would have taken $300.00 for it, brand new still in the plastic. Said they do it all the time.

    Someone I know must be messing with me. I got a call today from a recruiter at PFJ wanting to know if I was still interested in hauling fuel for the Flying J in Texarkana. I told her I can start tomorrow. But when I told her how long it has been since I last drove a truck, she said they wouldn't hire me. Now to find out you applied for me.They are going to get some calls from recruiters and maybe some of that "Miracle Spring Water".

    . I got a claim opened up but can’t seem to get anyone to write an estimate. The people came to visit 2 days later (don’t know why) nice enough peeps the girl that was behind the wheel is really smart she is working on her masters at U.of Michigan. This was supposed to be a driving lesson. She stomped the gas thinking it was the brake and panicked. She is from Uganda and has never driven. She might never try again it rattled her pretty bad.

    I dont mind mayo... Very thin layer of it on a flour tortilla, then heat it in the microwave for 20 to 30 seconds... Roll it up and eat. Old hispanic fella showed me that when I was just a wee little guy.
