I would lift it now,When you say primer are you going to paint it now or later down the road?If later on wait to primer it tell your a week away from paint if not it can come back to bite you later.If you want it to look better with out spending a ton look at plasti dip a few on here have done their whole jeep in it.You can buy a kit from https://www.dipyourcar.com/Pro-Car-Kits/

EDIT: is the T3 the 15W40??
10/30 or 15/40 IIRC. Skip the Seafoam.

no plastic dip for me, I have already bought 2 stage paint in the stock existing PX8. yeah you can't let primer sit long especially exposed to the element without having to reprime before paint, I'm a stickler for doing it right the first time or not at all...

yeah doubt I'll be doing the seafoam anytime soon.. but I'm intrigued nonetheless and plan to buy a bottle and do a home brew batch for comparison later just as a mad experiment... I have a sickness playing with chemicals so I may try some testing grounds later on...

I wasn't sure about T3 as my 15w40 just says triple protection on it.. I just did an oil change in my diesel truck with T6 5W40 and must say it has a VERY NOTICEABLE difference at start up compared to the 15W40 that was in it, so I may run the xj with this until next oil change and go back to 15W40..

Maybe I should re-do my thread title.

I'm 59 and just re-wrote Renix TPS adjusting instructions. Anyone wanna read them and make sure they make sense?

Sure. TBH just keep things simple and run the same oil in both vehicles.

That's a good question. You're only one year away from being Buick-owner age!

My folks used to have a Le Sabre a few years back, they put over 550k on that engine, and when they traded it in, the dealership mechanics gave it a once over, and they said the motor looked like new. Regular maintenance, it works...

The turn signal indicators have a VERY good MTBF, all the Buicks here have them on constantly, for blocks at a time. I don't doubt the engines are stout either considering the average speed is about half that of the rest of the traffic. A lesser engine might develop serious issues being run that cold all the time.
