Biennial Torment

:
2017 CX3 AWD
The SA is due for smog again this year. Two years ago we failed on our first try and passed the re-test after a tuneup. As I rarely drove her since, I went in this Tuesday hoping that we'd get lucky... Nope, we failed the test. 😭 I couldn't bring myself to look at the result until today. We're not too far gone! I will do the same tuneup before getting tested again. This is my 8th year of ownership, she still owes me money.

On my way back from the smog place, a red RF was in the next lane, I looked over and wondered how happy and carefree that driver must feel. 😁

The oil filter is substantially larger than the OEM filter for the Skyactiv 2.0! How come I never noticed this before? Been changing oil/filter on both cars since 2018. 🤦
