changed the power steering fluid with fresh ATF, changed the g-spiders to the snow tires, and put in a new battery from Lexus, $108 and pro-rated for 84 months, so I can't complain. Also taking the battery out of the Mercedes as well as changing some fluids, only has 15k miles.

How did you clean the engine bay or what did you use?

Watch carefully on the boots on the Moogs, I put a set of Moogs on my GS and the pass side boot tore off the bottom of the ball joint by the winter. Probably happened in the cold we had last year. My ball joint started squeaking and I couldn't figure it out. My drivers side is squeaking now, wonder if it tore too. And 1-3 inches of snow coming today....

Be attentive of Moog ball joints (555 made them actually, Moog just sells them) for torn boots.

I used the write-up from this link . Since they don't make CD2 anymore I substituted Black Magic Engine Shine. I did the same engine bay cleaning on my S2000 when I had it and it comes out great!
