03 Grille bolts loose

I was topping off my oil last night and noticed all of the bolts holding on the grille were loose. I snugged them up by hand. Might want to check yours.

I have one that comes loose every now and then, but not all. Is it normal that you have to top off your oil, because in 1 year, I've never had too.

Mine have come loose before also. I have a grill insert though so I can't tighten the nuts all the way anyway. If you do you will strip them.

Use 1 drop of (blue) lock-tite... and do not tighten down over 3ft/lbs on those plastic covered acorn nuts or you will pop the plastic coating off them.
