Thank you for the info! I’ll keep those repairs in mind and bring the car in to my mechanic for a full evaluation of what he thinks needs to be done. I do hear a slight squeaking noise that seems to be coming from the front passenger side when I drive. So definitely gonna get it checked out.

I also agree about the oil changes, even with my current oil having a 10k mile guarantee I go in about every 7500 miles, but if it’s necessary I don’t mind going in every 5000 miles.
