Re: Baffled oil pan

["Jim Buck/BahnBurners!" <vwpride@mixi.net>]

Get a new oil pan gasket, and the $25 updated oil pickup baffle, which replaces
the current splash shield on your car.  It's easy to do at your next oil change.
Potterman or Mark at AAB will fix you right up with one.  Works very well.
