Yeah I took it "about" half way through. I have a little plug on the kleenoil filter so I can take it right off there now(yes its BEFORE the filter).

I was thinking about this, and a couple times in middle of winter when it was -35 or colder I had problems with there being no oil pressure for about 3-4 seconds. I'm thinking even after that, there's nothing squirting onto the pistons because it's so damn thick. That might've damaged the bushings. Time to get a better winter oil.

-35 is far too cold for 15w40

Not if you put a magnetic Oil Pan Heater when you're parked for the night

What winter oil do you reccomend and how much does it cost to get a Oil Pan heater, do you own it?

I would need to have an inverter of some kind built in then, if you plug it in over night wouldnt that drain you batteries and do you have a pic of how it looks like as i am really interested in this....
