Spray 100 wet shot of n02. If it holds, keep changing your oil and enjoy your car.

If not, Sorry for your loss.










































I was joking please dont do that, Only an idiot like me would do that.

I would say change your air filter, plugs, maybe tranny fluid. I guess it depends on how far you want to go

I would change the Tranny oil , put a fresh set of plugs in her and change the supercharger oil . I would also look at doing all the filters depending on when they were done last ..... If the fuel filter has more than 20K on it ...I would change it.
