put in new gas since that junk in the gas will clog your engine and seafoam it!

There's a drain plug in your gas tank, def drain all that out. Change the oil and tranny fluid right away, also a coolant flush would be a good idea, plus new air filter. The optima should be good. If you're really adventurous, the fuel filter would be a good idea as well.

Ugh. Fuel filter sucks, i gave up on trying to change mine.

Yellow = deep cell for high audio/accessory drain

Red is for fast starting, but doesn't hold as big of a load, do you run a big system in your car? If not, go red.

yellow also has more reserve power than the reds

id get the yellow anyways.

make shure you prime the motor a bunch of times before starting the car you dont want any dry starts
