I found it by searching fuel stabilizer and was first to come up. Probably happens every year around this time when freezing temps are on the horizon in so many places

Thank you and have a nice "White" Christmas.

Some us with new cars ( to us ) like to be informed .

Since I really don’t need you to validate me , I’ll explain anyway.

I was researching “Winterizing” my 03 .
without realizing the date , I commented.
