Homophonia at Stewarts

I was filling up on costly gasoline at the Stewart's on Henry Johnson Blvd, when I noticed this sign looking back at me.
It took me a sec, but I believe they meant: "Don't let your engine CEASE; use Anti Freeze." Unless they are taking it to the extreme and warning drivers to not let their engines go into seizures. Highly unlikely.

Ehhh I think they meant seize... like an engine seizing up because of... uh something. No oil? I believe I've heard the gents on Car Talk use that expression.

There you go, always playing the foreigner card. I'm not sure if that's how they do things where you're from, but in America we spend our days listening to Car Talk on NPR and reading hundreds of blogs, hoping for a chance to leave a comment. At least that's what I do all day.
