Look in the laundry section of your grocery store, by the Spray On Starch. I always carry some of that and chunk of old terry cloth towel with me.

This is exactly what I'm going to need to finish touching up the thick hardened part that I had to get melty (like a taco bell burrito) again to wipe off. I think this may just work perfect, then wash and polish back to store bought shine. Thanks!

You are supposed to warm it up before changing the oil, just have to be extra careful Shocked

If all else fails, read the manual. It is supposed to be warm before an oil change

Oh, I wasn't changing the oil, haven't gotten around to fixing the head cap leak (bought the part, just haven't had the time) so was just topping up the oil. Usually I do it before I fire her up, but for some reason I had the urge to do it after. Of course later on I pulled the header/muffler so I could put the new one on, and right now I'm sitting in the office with the 2 seperated, ready to put on the new one...Come on 5:00, hurry up and get here!
