Oil change.

177090 miles.

We had the oil and filter changed at Unionville Auto Repair. Carquest Synthetic 5W-20 oil. The price was very reasonable, $67.08 total including all parts and tax. Definitely would return to these guys in the future. We did NOT rotate the tires as I usually do at the yearly oil change because they thought the front tread looked better than the back.

First fill-up in Connecticut! The sticker on the pump said 10% ethanol; I'm not sure how that relates to California gas but we'll see if it makes any difference in MPG. Definitely colder here but otherwise pretty great.
