London,
OK.. Just have a few questions, hoping you guys can help.. I just got a hold of a grease gun and wanted to lube up the chasy on my car.. Where would I lube up.. Like the ball joints and stuff.. and what kind of lube do you find is best. another question is I use Full Synthetic oil, I heard it was the best but You guys and you 10 second car I think know more then the other sources I know of. What would you guys recomend? If anyone knows where I can find some instructions or pics for the lube job thqt would be great!
PLus would full synthetic oil have to do with my oil light coming on at curb idle??
Thanks again!
 
As far as the grease gun idea you probably dont have any grease zirks or fittings on your ball joints or tie rod ends but you might if they are aftermarket sometime different companies put grease fittings on these parts.For the oil question I agree and use a full synthetic oil in all my cars except during new engine breakin where I use a non synthetic to help breakin and seat the rings, but only for the first 500 miles. Last your oil light probably comes on during idle because you have low oil pressure due to going bad oil pump, or alot of time the ballance shafts play a role in low oil ptessure also, that is why alot of guy remove the ballance shafts and plug the oil holes that go to the ballance shafts.This greatly improves oil psi.
Good luck
