You want to use a thinner grade of oil when it is cold out. If you use a single grade of oil you should replace the oil with a winter grade. You may not need to make this adjustment if the type of oil you are using is a multi-grade oil. Check with your car dealer or with your mechanic or auto junkyards near me store. They can tell you if you should make the change.
At the auto parts near me I told the clerk I needed some compression fittings that would fit on the piece of line I had brought with me. I also told him I would need several lengths of steel brake line as well. The idea behind taking a piece of line with me is this: It guarantees I get a new line of the diameter I need for this particular vehicle...and it also makes sure that the compression fittings I will be getting will fit all lines..old and new. This requires that you open the package of compression fittings in the store and see if they will fit the new line and the piece of line you brought with you of course.
Next open the hood of your BOV and let the engine cool down for several hours. Keep in mind you will be working in some exceptionally hot locations in the engine compartment and you could get some very nasty burns in the process. It's better to allow a few extra hours for the engine to cool down and be safe then to risk a serious burn.
I remember the first cigarette that I tried to smoke. I immediately ran to the bathroom and threw up. Probably the strongest smoking advocate in our little group was Fat Johnny. Fat Johnny's uncle was in the mob and he made sure that everyone else in the group knew that. In other words, he was a bully. Besides being in the mob, his family owned a couple of junkyards near me and a local trucking company. One of their junkyards was just a couple of blocks from my house.
The first thing you should do is search the web. There are many options that you would find. In fact some dealers do business online, so after going through the websites, whichever one you find suitable, order the used auto parts online and wait for a couple of days to get them delivered. This would help save time.
Be cautious when inspecting these cars. While it is true that rust is "normal" in such situations, this can also be the perfect sign that shows the previous owner's negligence (or ignorance) of proper car care. A simple rust proof coating would have solved the problem, and the previous owner not knowing that may mean that he or she does not also know how to take care of other equally important car parts.
