Yeah right on. I have heard alot of replies saying to change the high temp viscosity on my oil. I'm gonna try this when I change the oil. Thanks for the tip there, and alot of assurance to stick with my noisy oil pump. I'll check on the tires and lock for sure.

when turning on the ignition.

Any competent lock smith/lock shop should be able to fix that. Check the
