    :rofl:

    I can't even do that with my 5.0 Explorer - it shakes like a wet dog at idle!

    Can you imagine a modern car with all the electronics and computers being left in a winter climate garage for 25 years and then trying to start it? :p

    Smo-o-o-oth...

    hah... good stuff...

    just remember the hazards of drinking and fixing... no fan shroud... the dangers of parking a smooth beer on a smooth engine (awesome.... :bowdown: it didn't even waste any beer bubbles...!!!) one of the descendants of the 86 generations of mice that have called your car their home for the past 25 years could have jumped up and tried to grab the invading beer and knocked it into the fan blades.

    Could have been a sad end to an unfinished brew... and that's tragic.

    The engine sounds great. A bottle of Petron Engine Conditioner would lower the engine friction and decrease the engine sound greatly, plus cut down on engine wear. Depending on the engine it will lower engine oil temp 20-60 degrees.

    I have been using and selling Petron products for 17 years

    Petron

    From me.

    I worked car shows for 13 years until my back surgery.

    I had a 2 wheeled trailer with a 1.3 Toyota pushrod engine mounted on it and I would run the engine all day long without an oil pan on it.

    When i sold the rig the engine had over 2700 hours as a Petron display. I would start the engine in the morning and run it with oil until it warmed up then I would drain the pan and remove the pan an it would run all day long.

    If you compare oil to petron ti would be like comparing a bb to a beack ball, so it will go into the metal where oil cannot go.

    No teflon or any kind of metals in it.

    I just got 2,000 miles on my new 09 Hyundai Sonata Limited and changed the oil and installed Petron Plus Formula 7 in it. The first tank I picked up 3 MPG.

    I have a longtime customer in east Texas who drag races a Luv pickup with a 400 H.P. engine and he cut one second off his E.T. by using Petron in his engine, Standad Tranny and differential.

    Another custome runs at the salt flats and turns over 1,000 H.P. and he will not start a new engine without Petron in it.

    We make over 300 lube products and the company has been in business for 30 years.

    Thank you for your interest.
