My new Battery - Optima Blue Top 34M - fits in the stock battery tray JUST so i was thrilled!
Yes it's a marine battery

but the specs are awesome! Car starts easier and has a higher/more constant voltage when the engine is off.

Thanks man.

The PWS fluid isnt that low - its well above min - it swells up to max nice once the engine is running.
Thanks for the waring sir

Looks good especially with those blue spark plug wires

Wow... Your engine bay is so well maintained. Excellent. I don't know that my engine bay will ever be that nice.

Though I have a DOHC with a faulty oil cap.

don't worry johnny you aren't the only one, my oil leaks out from the cap all of the time and I can never seem to get it to stop.

and tim very nice how much did that batterey run you and is it a deep cycle(i think that is what it is) like the yellow or red top?

The battery is both a deep cycle and excellent starter battery (has a very high cold cranking amps rating). They had a red top in stock, but this blue top had better specs since it had both features which is what i really needed. Normally batteries are really good deep cycle or really good starters witha high CCA rating.

I payed $370AU - the guy threw in new terminals at that price, installed it for me because i was lazy

and disposed of my old battery too.

Thats an ok price I found - not that low, but finding someone in Australia who had any Optimas in stock was the problem!

Good idea with the battery, and I complement you on one of the cleanest engine bays I have every seen on a Daewoo in my life.

I wish mine was as clean. I'm to the point where I'm afraid to open my hood for fear that a troll might jump out.
