2000 Ford Contour SE front wheel drive, 4 cylinder 2.0 engine. The Manual says 8.51 (9.0 qts.)does this mean I need to get two jugs of ATF or 9 quartz of the smaller bottles?Didn't know a Transmission took this much fluid...Is a flush really necessary?
The reason firehouses have circular stairways is from the days of yore when the engines were pulled by horses. The horses were stabled on the ground floor and figured out how to walk up straight staircases. The highest point in Pennsylvania is lower than the lowest point in Colorado. A cockroach can live several weeks with its head cut off. An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain. The height of Mount Olympus on Mars is 25 km (15 miles). You are more likely to be killed by a champagne cork than by a poisonous spider. Pigs are the only animals other than humans that can get a sun burn. The Pentagon, in Arlington, Virginia, has twice as many bathrooms as is necessary. When it was built in the 1940s, the state of Virginia still had segregation laws requiring separate toilet facilities for blacks and whites. The first toilet ever seen on television was on Leave It to Beaver. want more?
Quartz, SiO2 is often the last thing to crystallize out of a magma, and the first to melt as temperature increases. It has a very strong crystal structure (tectosilicate) and is therefore super durable. Sand is primarily weathered quartz. Shocked quartz, quartz that has been subjected to extremely high pressures, is often indicative of an impact site (e.g. meteorite impact craters). Quartz encompasses a group of SiO2 minerals containing alpha-quartz, beta-quartz, stishovite, coesite, tridymite, and cristobalite. Quartz, if allowed to grow freely in the melt (e.g. not in the in-between of other minerals) will grow in a hexagonal prism. Quartz is super abundant. It is the second most abundant mineral group in continental crust, after feldspars. You can find quartz at the beach, in sandstones, in granite, and in the metamorphic rocks quartzite, and schist* and gneiss* (depending on the original composition) Quartz is awesome!
