I'm no expert on the CLB, but it sounds like you need one.
M1 is less than $23/5 qts at walmart.

$7 dollars a quart is too high just for Mobil1 I pay a little less than
that for Royal Purple.

The column lock issue will need to be addressed by either a tech
or going with the CLB,or better yet,both.Even still,the CLB is not
guaranteed 100% either.

unless you're in Canada, you're paying too much.
