I install a new clock battery every time I change the Blinker Fluid. That way, I never forget.

Depends. 5w-40 for summer. 0w-20 for winter. Those seem to be the best for rapid blinking.

Yeah, same here. I was using ***** Blinker Fluid, but it's so thin it leaks out too easily...so I'm now using it for muffler bearings.

You guys should really look into upgrading to cross drill brake lines. It will improve cooling to the brake system and increase your stopping distance. Also radiator insulators, we all know energy is lost with heat transfer, more heat we loose the more horsepower gets robbed. Everyone should also get a wiper blade sharpener, why waste money on a new blade when you can just sharpen a dull one.
