Oil & Filter Change. Full Synthetic 
950 mi In the prior repair the radiator was replaced. After, I still smelled coolant and the reservoir level was low. Dealer's shop said there was air in the system which fooled the coolant level but air worked out. They cleaned engine area and topped coolant. 
927 mi Radiator replaced by dealer under warranty. Took two days to obtain, and two days to complete repair. Car seems fine now although some antifreeze smell lingers. Dealer returned car washed and cleaned.
