Thanks VERY much for the link...but that's a daunting-sounding/looking job for
me.  I guess I'll see how much the mechanic shop will gouge...I mean, charge
me.  Perhaps the giant savings will make me rethink it, but I've never done
anything like that on a car (or *anything*, for that matter) before.  Check
the oil (dipstick)?  Sure.  Change spark plugs?  Just about.  I'm even
considering *changing my own oil* one of these days...so that's why I'm easily
daunted, I guess!

But I'll keep those instructions handy and see if that'll help a mechanic or
someone who's so inclined.  Thanks!!
