Baldwin Park BBQ Spot Meat & Eats
That's a negative on my part. I threw a party last night and I'm going to change my oil today. I haven't been replacing my crush washer (shame on me!) so I'm leaking oil everywhere I park. I had to add two quarts yesterday cause I was low. So I need to fix this and today's the day to do it :-)

Well, I went to Kragen and bought what I thought would work, but it didn't. So I drove around town with my plug and highly messed up crush washer, in my friend's grandma's Olds Delta 98 (the beast as we call her) and I went to some dealerships in town on a hunch that they may have something. Well, it was Sunday when I was doing this and I expected the service departments of all the dealerships to be closed, but was unsure about the parts departments. Well, they were closed too. So I ended up going to Jiffy Lube and asking them if they had anything. They didn't have an exact match in looks and size, the washer had some sliiiiiight (very slight) play back and forth when it was on the plug, but I believe it was good enough. I'm not leaking anymore so I think it did the job, but I think I'll pick up some washers in the mean time between now and the next change. Does anyone know if it's a dealer only item?

I'll go this Sunday. I have to take a friend to LAX at 7:30 so I'll be up nice and early :-). It'll be a lot of driving, but I enjoy driving... Plus I've been craving that food.... You guys must use tomacco in your food... that's it I'm calling the FDA...
