Oil Change and Inspection at Valvoline after replacing burnt out rear tail light bulb (Auto Zone 5007). $21 inspection + $79.99 synth oil change + $34.36 extra oil charge - $7 coupon.

They wanted to do tranny and rear differential for $59 each. I said no.

1. Took off my front bumper and replaced my horns. Nice to have a working horn and not be required to use my middle finger any more.

2. Recharged my AC system. Worked when I brought it in for repairs and didn't when it came out. Works fine now!

Unless you have tip the diff and transmission fluid are shared fluid, it is a transaxle. If you have a tip I think.you have to take quite a bit off to change the diff oil. Major bullet dodged and $$$ saved

That's a red flag right there. If you had said yes, they probably would have discovered they couldn't do anything for you. (Or charged you and done nothing)

Garage
I changed the carbon canister and blew out the line the goes back to the manifold. I was getting codes P0446, P1124 and P1126. This seemed to work. If the code comes back I guess i'll have to get a new valve for $200. The canister was pretty clogged. I could barely blow through it. So I put one Woody sold me.
