You need to remove the MAF hose going to the intake and move the coolant reservoir tank...

which sucks. It's a no-brainer but it takes some time. I've done it once before wasn't prepared for disconnecting hoses from the coolant reservoir tank. Got some coolant leakage on the engine.

I moved the coolant reservoir without disconnecting the hose...

just kind of placed it off to the side. No spilling, it was fine.

Yeah see I find this strange since I know you're very handy...

I absolutely didn't have to remove the hose and risk having it leak out.

fwiw, I have a pretty good NAPA here w/ it, along with AMSoil, LubeGuard etc.

It's a small container, probally $6. If you can't find it, let me know, I'll send you some. Better than going from parts store to parts store and getting "The Look"....like you are crazy (I know it well). The Look results from their denial that you are asking for something that they have not heard of, and then they pretend it does not exist. Try a NAPA though.
