A long time ago, when I was in high school, the jerks from the rival school decided to come down to our school and spray paint nasty things about us on the walls. Their favourite phrases:

You are loosers. You loose.

Now, just in case it isn't clear what is going on here, "loose" means not tight. "Lose," however, means a loss. Now, I'm not picking on SlaveX, but this confusion has been happening a lot lately. Do you think we can start to recognize the difference?

Sounds like a revenge for "osioły". :teeth: With my English, or rather lack of it I appreciate every correction and lesson, especially from a teacher :worthy:

Maybe it was directed at the girls in your school?

Use a turkey baster (yep, your wife will love you for this) to get some of the fluid out of the reservoir, then pour in the Lucas oil.

Yes, mind the wife and get a baster from the dollar store for your use first. My wife was less then impressed when I ruined our apparantly "good" turkey baster that was a wedding present :eek:

I now have a $2 special turkey baster permenantly in my tool box. Also works well when changing / flushing brake fluid.

Empty it. Refill with Lucas. You can pretty much run 100% lucas steering fluid if you wanted.

It all depends on the size of the turkey.
