Larry, I call on that. You are just trying to drum up business for the dealership. We all know that Jiffy Screw will carefully measure the amount of oil going in, torque the bolt to MB specs.

A funny thing happended to my friend. He was a tech at the Ford Dealership and they got a car in with 20K for warranty work. Seems like after a radiator flush it was running funny. Aparrently it overheated and the engine was warped. They called the Jiffy Screw and the manager came down with the cap in hand and asked him if this cap would fix the engine. My buddy was like "I think we are a little beyond that point."
