Interesting. Make me the third to report this kind of symptom. My
Aerostar has a lifter that often starts out collapsed in the
morning and pumps up within about a mile or so after startup.
It's only done this for the last 20k or so, however, and it does
have 170k on the clock. I've used Mobil 1 since I bought it in
94.
