    Ozone, It's just a picture, I was in the National Regiment for Civil war buffs. We were in movies, pictures for magazines. But that's the way i looked.

    Why ?

    Age What's it got to do with my age. Heck if you live long enough , you may get to it. A simple answer like the other forum members gave would have been enough. It was just a question, there was no sense in a snotty answer.:shrug:

    change oil light

    I notice every once in a while , when i start my 2012 Liberty the change oil light comes on flickers , until i hit the cancel button. I just had my oil changed 800 miles ago, I still have 2200 miles to go. Should i just reset it , or is something else wrong. Jeep runs great.:shrug:

    3.7 oil crud probelm

    Great post, I'm learning a lot. What causes the engine to sludge up. I just bought a 2012 Liberty with 38 k on her. Dealer changed oil at 37,900 , I,m going to change it at 40k and use syntech oil and a good filter. I'm sure dealer used regular oil.

    Anti Freze leak ?

    Either way, little bit of steam vapor is probably caused by moisture. Like i said ,i don't see it on dry days. thanks all.
