Re: What extra Intrigue maintenance would you do at 100k miles?

This is what I get as well. For a 200+hp midsize that runs like these do, that's outstanding mileage. And why I stick with the LX5.

Really not a bad job. I used one of these:





A similar tool could be had at the 'Zone for about 10 bucks. Check out their site - it will let you find the closest store by zip code, and tell you if they have one in stock. It's part no 25249. Check it with the new sensor to make sure it fits.
