Just curious but did you change the oil every 3K up to this point? What kind of
oil did you use, dino or synthetic? I guess I'm just wondering what to look for
as far as maint on my car. It seems you did all the right things. If the
clogged tube was a mfg defect that's one thing, if it was the oil that's
another.
