It didn't take long to get tired of the nose mask (it's was from Honda). The mask is so hard to install, then remove and clean, besides cleaning the car. It was only used when we were taking long highway trips to protect the front end from chips. Around town, every day, it's just not worth the trouble. I have one for the 03 too, but hardly ever use it anymore.

And........I changed the oil today for the 1st time,wasnt anticipating too but checked it and it was WAY over full. (Someone enlighten me on the consquences of overfilling) The previous owner of ten years said he had always put 5 quarts in it and that he thought that's what it took......Anyway,I changed it out and put 3 1/2 quarts of PP and 1/2 quart of MMO and the car actually is running a few degrees cooler than before.
It was about halfway on the temp gauge previously and now is a few notches below. Apparently no ill effects of the owner being a moron,or at least I hope so.
Also,with using something mild like MMO and only using a 1/2 quart which is below what is recommended,should I continue to use at every oil change?or is this a one time thing? From the advice I got on here I didn't want to seafoam it or do something to extensive as far as additives.
