One from above. It was a two stage correction, using M105 / Jescar and M205. Next up are new plugs and oil. Probably have 500 miles to go before that.

BTW, just one piece of advice. Before you put the wrong socket on the spark plug and then spend the next hour trying to get it off, check the socket size first! Don't ask. lol

Nothing a decent hammer wouldn't take care of. Seriously. not a pain at all. I think the driver's side forward spark plug takes some time, but overall not too bad. Maybe an hour to an hour and a half job. I do the oil change at the same time.

Took the car out for a quick bout of bad behavior yesterday. Noticed for the 3rd time in a row that the engine is down on power. It is a significant drop, and yesterday the weather was cool so not weather related. No messages, but the engine is running a bit rough as well. Going to change plugs this weekend to see if that helps. It has been about a year. Car has just north of 28,000 miles. I don't want to get my hopes up, but I would be pretty pumped to break in a new motor this year.

A trip to the Smokies in 3 weeks and a little down time while you get a new engine. I'm closing the gap.

Are those gloss black wheels? Factory? Got any more pics to show the colour?
