Capitol Expressway Ford in San Jose.

Went over to my usual Capitol Ford for an oil change, and this time got the "manager's special" pricing, out the door for only $27.68! Can't beat this!

Everything checked out green except for window washer fluid (they refilled), and the rear brake lining. The right side rear has been on the low side for a while, and last time they told me it was dragging slightly. Need to clean off the caliper/piston and lube it a bit. There's 3mm remaining on the right and 4mm on the left. These are likely the original pads, I've never changed them!

They also recommended changing the cabin air filter based on the maintenance schedule, but I declined for now.

Other notes were: "A/C compressor leaking freon, recommend further diag; master cylinder has residue, wiped down, reinspect next service". This is the first time either of these have been mentioned, so I'll keep an eye on them.

Recall: There are now TWO recall notices on this vehicle, one for the power steering torque sensor, and the second for the MECS pump (coolant pump for motor and electronics). I replaced the MECS pump earlier this year already, but it sounds like I'll need to have it replaced again (for free though!). For now I am holding off on these repairs and will likely have them done in mid Dec or January.
