My first oil change and partial valve adjustment today! My cousin Jim spent all day teaching me how to work on my bus. Yay!
I think engine grease is good for my hair.

Not only that, you can save your money by doing the simple stuff yourself. And learn how to repair the small stuff , if needed...

Good for you. It seems the more I get involved in fixing or doing maintenance on my van, the more connected I become to it

Seriously, wash your hair with dawn dish washing soap and it will get all the oil & grease out. Then repeat with your favorate hair shampoo and conditioner.
