Went to Bay Diagnostics too. I went there for a check engine light that'd come on and then went out. I also wanted to see about my 1 quart every 800 miles consumption problem.

I wound with a $1600 lighter wallet and $500 of the $2100 bill was covered under my extended warranty.

They said they replaced The oil filter housing gasket, the variable intake runner (what is that?) and the MAF that was replaced about a year ago. They also replaced my thermostat saying that there was a sensor in it that was faulty and if it wasnt replaced, the codes causing the ses light wouldnt clear.

The engine doesnt run any differently. I know they are site sponsors and thats why I brought my X to them. But am I being naive?
