Changed the oil in Ruby yesterday. Gave her the "Jackwagen treatment" three quarts of SAE 30 weight oil and one can of STP...

To much oil is not good for the engine, it takes 2 & 3/4 qt. including the STP. Only uuse 1/2 bottle of STP per change.

Check your dipstick and drain anything over the full mark. (o;

Has external oil filter that holds about half a quart. Filled it to the top mark on the dip stick. I did use the whole can of STP.
But it was only a 10 oz. bottle. I think it will be okay! I hope!!

Investigated why the MugBug horn doesn't work after playing a 1 1/2 duet of "Jingle Bells" with Celly in the Clayton parade. Seems I blew one of the connections right off of the terminals on the horn  =bana4_+   recrimped both and back in business  :jump4jo":
Spent another hour pulling the plastic shipping tape and adhesive off the bumpers. Note to Mugman- next year, use blue painters' tape...
