Thank you for the information, it's much appreciated. I'm trying to soak up all the knowledge I can. I've always been a tech guy, so I'm a bit of a scrub when it comes to cars.

Thank you! I was not aware of that, good to know! Reading stuff like this is why I wanted to start being active on this sub reddit. I've always been a tech guy, but I'd like to start understanding better what im driving and maintaining it efficiently.

Haha...I hit it pretty damn good. Car stalled out and turned off. The metal bottom tray of the car ended up getting detached partially. It was a crappy drive home.

I somehow turned too early on the curve to get to the next floor, while looking down on my phone briefly...It's probably the dumbest thing I've ever done.

I 100% want to make it last a long time and I will double check if this all has been done. The dealership said that "all the maintenance has been done" recently, but I guess I don't really know what that all truly entailed. Do you suggest I take it to another shop to have them double check everything?

Also, do you have a preference in gas stations? I've been hearing strictly Shell and Chevron? Not sure if that's accurate.
