I thought you were in Tennessee... With the GoVols location...

And I was thinking possibly western Tennessee where it is colder right now as evidenced by winter weather advisory out for snow 1-2 inches.


I'm an orange blooded born Tennessean that lives in middle western Georgia
But
I'm 2 years away from retirement and I'm heading back to the volunteer state as fast as I can !!!!!

It was when I put the Sunoco full synthetic oil in my car 4 years ago... Though that am I had gone on a rather short trip and promptly changed the oil right after that trip.


You think a one way drive of 15 miles falls into the short trip range ?
I'd think it's a normal range for most of us. I'm on the 2 mile one way to work plan !!...³ðŸ¤”🤣ðŸ‘


I'd say 15 miles each way is not really short trips. Is he running a lower setting thermostat or something? Maybe it's fuel trims are out of wack for some reason. Should scan the OBDII to find out.

T-stat

Could it be an O2 sensor ?
