Worked out treadwear warranty to replace back tires, 45K warranty Michelin PSAS3 worn out in less than 2 years/ 15K but I drive like I’m stealing the car... will enjoy a few more weeks of spirited driving before mounting snow tires.

Changed oil while the car was up on jacks to replace rear tires, easy access. Used a brand new plastic oil filter housing replacing the original. It came with an OEM filter and it costed almost the same as only an aftermarket filter. Gutted the old filter and no metallic or plastic debris on pleats so I’d sleep better.

Oh not today but also put a lightweight Deka battery, saving 13 lbs. Hope it works through Michigan winter.
