Cool...thanks for the info.!

Definitely! Still trying to figure out whether to do Mobile 1 or Amsoil. I
feel like I want to reward Amsoil with my business, but Mobile 1 seems
easier to find and a little cheaper. Decisions decisions.
I did buy a couple of Fumoto oil drain valves for the Dakota and our Maxima.
They're sitting right here next to my keyboard and are fun to play with. :)
I got the valves with the nipples (I can hear the snickering already). I'm
not sure if the valve for the Maxima is going to stick out too far. It
looked like the nipple was screwed on, so wondering if that was something I
could remove and replace as needed, I removed it. Well...of course it
doesn't work that way. The nipple part also holds in the little valve ball
thing.
Anyway, when I removed it (the NIPPLE) I found a little bit of crunchy stuff
on the threads, which I'm assuming is thread lock. Does anyone know if
medium blue 242 would be the right thing to use putting that back together?
