One more thing on the oil change. The first time I added the amount stated in the owners manual. That ended up being too much, and it showed itself at the track. I should have measured what came out and used that as a guide for how much to put in. The second time, still not measuring what came out, [I did not have a couple of gallon containers to pour it in] I put in 8 quarts and drove for 30 miles. Then combining the dip stick results and the OBC reading, I added another half quart. I eventually added the remaining half quart to bring it to a full 9 quarts. If I had done this on the first oil change I might have found I only needed 8 quarts or 8.5 quarts.
