    yes, for sure enable WAAS. It’s accurate within 3 meters whereas GPS is 15 meters. But always remember to bring up to date maps and a compass with you too. And learn how to use them. Thomas William Falater, Tulsa, Oklahoma

    synthetic oil will not damage gaskets and seals….period.

    Wrong. Using synthetic oil if your owner’s manual recommends natural oil will damage your seals and cause leaking. Always check the hard copy of your car’s manual and use the oil that they recommend. They built the car, the engineered it, they put the seals in it and they know which oil you should use. Don’t listen to anyone else. Do what is recommended in your car’s owner’s manual.

    My car is a 1997 and when I took it to QuickLube they told me that their computer recommends synthetic oil. I showed them my owner’s manual which recommends normal oil. I left and changed the oil myself and used natural oil. My car now has over 300K miles on it and no leaks and no major repairs.

    Get yourself a ‘topsider’ pump. It sucks the oil out from the top at the dipstick tube. No need to go under your car and remove the oil drain plug. Studies have shown that they actually drain more oil than by removing the plug. Makes oil change a breeze. Another tip is NOT to use synthetic oil if your owner’s manual recommends regular oil. If you use synthetic oil when you’re not supposed to, it will damage your seals and cause leaks. Again, check your owner’s manual. Source: auto mechanic for over 30 years. Thomas Falater
