Check engine light came on, low oil pressure. As car is old, rather than trace down the leak, I top it off periodically (~1 qrt/1000 miles). Dealer also suggested using 10W30 instead of 5W20, which has allowed me to top off less often. |

Rattling was due to corroded heat shield on catalytic converter. Said only lower shield was removed and replacement not necessary. But they took off top shield too, and my online research showed this shield is important for safety. Follow up to prior trip. Independent garage could not complete this when needed so I went to dealer. They lowered exhaust and installed new heat shield assembly for catalytic converter. |
