Oil change, tire rotation, and new rear brakes.

114,092 miles.

As usual, went to Capitol Ford Quicklane for oil change and tire rotation. The rear right brake caliper has been dragging for some time, and they have been warning me that I would need brake service soon. We took care of that this time, with new pads and rear rotors. The front brakes continue to be fine, and everything else checked out ok.

Total cost out the door was $421.83, which included a 10% discount coupon that I received last time I was there. They finished the work on time as well as providing shuttle service. I continue to be pleased with the service department at this dealership.

Went back to the fabled pump #3 that gave such a great deal early. Yep, it's fixed now. Boo hoo.

33.63 MPG

Looks like the streak may be over. Same station but pump #1 this time (pump #3 was already occupied). This MPG looks accurate given recent history. The previous several fill-ups were wildly high, I expect because the pump dispensed more gas than it registered.

Replaced rear AC air filter.

113,456 miles.

Replaced the rear AC filter for cooling the hybrid batteries, located in the rear left of the vehicle interior. Amazon has this filter for $15 and eligible for free shipping.

The arrows on the FP-51 filter indicate the desired air flow direction, which is pointing down in this case.
