11/14/2017: Replaced lower control arms to address clunking in front suspension.
11/14/2017: Adjusted driver-side window regulator (replacement not necessary)
1/2/2018: Replaced newly-installed MAF with previous MAF to address idle hunt. Appears that the new MAF was DOA. Battery disconnect performed to clear fuel trim memory.
1/26/2018: Tightened spin-on oil filter to address oil seep. Added .25QT DT40 to top off engine oil.

Oil change - 8.5 quarts of TOTAL Quartz, NAPA Gold filter, new crush ring.

Examined undercarriage for leaks, damage, etc. No oil or coolant leaks indicated. Rear tires very worn; scheduled replacement.

Oil filter element was free of debris.

When did they start making lubricating oil out of quartz?

Actually, I was wondering why his was using 8 1/2 quarts of quartz during the oil change. Maybe a new form of filtering? ha!

Say, "Quarts of Quartz" five times as fast as you can! bwahahahahahahahahahahahahaa
