Car is running good. "Stumble" seems to be gone. No issues. Ready for an oil change. Edit: Just changed oil with the Mobil 1 5W30 "blend" that I made - instead of the usual 0W40. Car has 176,800 miles, so this change is 6800 miles. Sending sample to Blackstone. May see better mpg's with the lighter wt. oil.

Home fuel up. Snow tires are on, 44k was in the last tank. This was a short tank because I had to gas-up for trip to DM. Hopefully, 44k will still do some good. Car is running well, but still takes a while to get heat in the cabin.
