 First dive under the hood. thermostat, water pump, oil
I have spent much time reading many many post here and I think I am ready to jump in.
Plan
-Change Oil.
I have filter and washers/o-ring to go with it. I am going to stick with conventional oil as that is want has been used in the past with this car.
-Thermostat
I think mine is stuck open as the car runs very cool and only get to the center of the temp gauge on the freeway after a few minutes of going 80. Only getting 28-29 mpg with 80% freeway driving. Looks pretty straight forward.
-Water Pump
Has never been replaced as far as the records I have and from what the PO remembers. Looks fairly straight forward also. Might have to fight the pulley and work at it to get it to come out. I do see an o-ring to replace while in there.
Am I missing any parts I need?
Here is my cart so far. (I already have Oil filter)
What should I pick up for $6 to get free shipping?
