Dear Haynes Manuals, Thank you so much for these video tutorials! I have been taking a look at a few of them and they seem super helpful!! I have a question - what is the grease you are using on the O-rings for the thermostat (the white grease)? Thank you, and have a good day!

[@HaynesManuals]

Glad you like them

[@t5jerry]

what a POORLY video`d video this is, first of all you should show the view from a few feet away and THEN zoom in or highlight it, the way this has been done is terrible !!!!
