Oil change materials $100. CEL for secondary air came on but hasn't been back since cancelled a month ago.

Just more than a year ago, AC compressor changed out on extended warranty. $1800 job cost me $250.

Extended warranty expires soon. Hmm

Next year will need: coolant change, probably front motor mount, and possibly water pump as preventative measure. I see doing them all myself. If I have the money I might also drive down to Atlanta and see a man called Jake about an IMS bearing.

MY01 90,000 km
