Oil change.

154,686 miles. Capitol Expressway Ford in San Jose.

I skipped the tire rotation this time since I'm nearly due for new tires. It's been seven years and 69k miles since getting the Michelin Latitude Tour tires (P235/70R16, rated for 65k miles!). I'm glad to see I've gotten my money's worth!

They noted the tires need replacement (3/32" of tread) and also noted the 12V battery terminals were corroded and recommended battery service. Front brake pads are at 7mm, rear at 8mm.

They also recommended replacing the eCVT fluid, something that is not mentioned in the owners manual and I had assumed it was not intended to be changed. Capitol Ford quoted $300 for the transmission fluid change, but some some quick searches online shows that it's not that difficult and can be done fairly quickly, so I may give it a go myself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=poLYgfVRcJs

Total cost for the oil and filter change was $64.32, which I think was based on a recent coupon they emailed out (I didn't have it but he offered it).
