---What does it take to get a CRITICAL?---
Car used primarily for very short trips with many cold starts. Discovered and corrected air filter problem when oil filter was changed at 6 months. Oil changed at time sample was taken. Will resample @ 2k and adjust OCI.
I have been unable to find any reports from other 2.7L engine owners to compare this with. The Intrepid's 2.7L engine has a terrible history. Feedback of all types is appreciated.
