I have little to update, but I have a lot of tracking numbers. I found a local store that carries Amsoil. They have the Signature Series Synthetic 10w30 Motor Oil, but they don't have 75w110 Severe Gear. Going to have to order.

PS: My S has the starter grind. Going to re-grease it at some point. Heard its a PITA.

In other news ... I cleared off a shelf for parts and snapped an engine bay pic.
