Day 5

Day 5 was nothing major, just did an oil change.  I took the car out for the trip to the parts store, grabbed an oil filter and brought it back in and up on the ramps for the oil change.  During the drive, I tried the cruise control, and found out it works…  one less item to take care of. 
I got the oil change wrapped up, while the oil was draining, I greased up the upper ball joints and the tie rod ends, while greasing the uppers, it was evident that the rubber boots are history, the joints are solid, but the boots will need to be replaced, cheap fix, but not for today.  I buttoned everything back up and cleaned up. 
Until tomorrow…
Parts replaced today:
Oil and Filter $40
Parts cost so far: $220
