Fluid changes and tests

Had fuel filters changed this morning. Old filters looked pretty good. Had coolant nitrite levels checked - good there also. Only cost me $104. Topped off fuel this morning also - Richmond MI - $3.48 a gallon. A good day!

good report. did you do the change yourself? I always do mine. Then I look in the fuel bowl for evidence of rust or corrosion. So far all is well.

I need to check my nitrates so I will take this as a reminder.
