    Thanks for your replies guys.

    I used to always change my oil. But with the grandPrix I've alway took it somewhere. Getting lazy in my age.

    These oil change places always grease my car and check everything.


    I noticed the Kendal synthetic blend used by Firestone makes my valves tick while cold. It appears my 3.8 GP don't like synthetic blends.

    I replaced the right side one on my 05 at 45k and the left one is shot at 57K.

    I replaced RH tie rod on my '91 at 160k miles and both on my '98 at 189k miles, but I consider myself lucky that they lasted that long because this state is so pot hole ridden in the cities. The '05 and '06 are still solid so far.

    You must be a huge fan of Granprix to own 4 so far??

    What will you do now that Pontiac is gone?

    I don't know. If I hit the lottery I will get a Camaro and have it made to look like a Firebird, there are some out there but I'm not too crazy about there style. Buy any existing large-mid size car that GM makes and make it a GP, if I was rich. Main thing is to keep working on the vehicles I have and keep them going.
    The '90 has 345k miles now and the '98 has 238k miles, ordered/bought the '98 new.
