Re: Engine running VERY COLD

["Allan Williams" <allanw@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Dump the prolong - spend the money on something useful.

Buy a new thermostat. It's sticking open

(I have driven over 7K in my compay car, 3K of those on a "Oil additive"
which was free for me to test. No change to fuel economy, no more power, no
nothing. don't bother with them - the "fluids" given to me, cost more than
two oil services on my car (Holden Astra 16V))
