Hi MrNickleye
You have given me great advice in the past so I put a lot of stock in what you say. This STP you mention, it is also an oil additive? And about using 20w 50 weight oil, it sounds like a good idea...

Where is O2 sensor
Bolts onto exhaust manifold. Kinda looks like a spark plug, has wire coming off that clips in. Very easy to change and will give better mileage, also cleans up emissions.

Regulator ?
When I spoke to a friend about my alternator (see previous posts) he asked about the regulator. Aren't they built in now? If not, where is it and what should I be looking for?
