Blinker Fluid

I ran out of blinker fluid and now my car won't start. Which tires do I need to buy, and which oil should I use on them?

Oil goes in the engine, air goes in the tires.

And make sure you use Genuine GM air.

Did you remember to change the winter air in your tires to summer air?

Also, don't forget to change your washer fluid, it's only good for six months or 6k miles.

The dealer told me I needed a lube job so I bought a gallon of Astroglide. Do you think that will be enough?

You will need a gallon of right blinker fluid and one of left blinker fluid. While you are at it look up the correct fluid number for the Hazard lights. I think that one is expensive. An, oh yeah, spend the extra and get synthetic

Have you ever heard of Amsoil blinker fluid? Sure it's more expensive, but if you read the report at www.fredtestsstuff.com you'll see how Amsoil beats the competition and produced 17% more blinks per minute than the competition. It also was shown to eliminate bulb wear and upon repeated use will restore lens to factory new quality.

Blinker Fluid. Often neglected during routine maintenance.

Don't forget to adjust the muffler valves every 15,000 miles. Oh, wait, cars now have muffler valves

I have NPP exhaust, so of course I know about muffler valves. Nice try though, trying to deflect the subject. This thread is about blinker fluid, and which tires I should buy to fix the problem.
