Hi all !

Hope everyone's New Year is off to a good start -

My ECO ( now 205K miles ) runs COOL.....eighty mph on the interstate ( where I
use it most ) and the needle is barely up from the cold/far left....it will
move up to the middle in extended heavy traffic. Cooling system is in EC. I'm
thinking of changeing the thermostat.Where's the best place to get one ? Other
ideas ?

Item two has been ocurring for some time -after several hours on the
interstate, I notice the dipstick has levitated an inch or so from the " fully
in " position. It doesn't seem to be loose/broken - not overfilled w/ oil.
Ideas ?

Oil viscosity - I'm using 20W 50 Castrol, always have. Would 30 weight be
better in this weather ( approx. 35-60 degrees ) ? Any suggestions ? Thanks !

Sincerely,

Bill Kelly
