ODO Engine failed to charge hybrid battery while wife on the way to the dentist. parked at arco hacienda exit. had to tow back home. batt at 20% when checked. battery is getting charged so it can move around for final parking spot for inspection. indications: CEL P0340. wierd noise during batt charge. air whoosh noise when turned off. something seems loose. Found: missing OCC cover. engine ran lean, clogged cat. hence engine stopped and didnt charge battery.

ODO 201578 Oil change cleaned up the oil leak a little. i think its from the timing hole but i cant see it that well. also sounds like its misfiring sometimes. not sure why.

First oil change after "break in" period. found 10ml of oil in OCC. hmm... M1 0w-20 oil. OEM filter. oil look relatively clean for 400 mi run + lots of idling. oil dipstick hard to read because its too clean.
