Oil change of 9.5qts of Castrol European formula 0w/30. Then gave it a wash to knock off some of the dust from sitting at the airport the last two weeks.

After changing the oil with Castrol last year at 13K miles and this year at 21K miles, the oil looked UNBELIEVABLE! It was cleaner in appearance than the BMW/Castrol brand 10x30 that I've changed at 5K miles for the past 10 years on my Bimmers. I was nervous bc I like to change the BMW brand at 5K, but I'd heard that the European formula Castrol would impress. It did! I am considering going 10K on this oil change. Even the FILTER was ultra clean!

Next up is some stainless steel brake lines and a fluid flush, preventative coolant flush and suspect parts, preventative belts and hoses, too. Oh yes. And the transmission, transfer case, and diff fluids. Won't be cheap, but it's cheaper than being stranded!
