Part of the trip we were fully loaded with wife, daughter and two little grandchildren and a fully packed trunk. The car ran great. Worst part of the trip was an unexpected snowstorm through the Salt Lake valley. The AWD and the new Michelin Pilot A/S 3's didn't slip at all. We saw over 50 wrecks on I-15 in a 45 mile stretch. We went about 350 miles per tank, but I didn't let it drop below 1/4 of a tank due to the winter weather. When we left Idaho it was -7 and the car started right up.
That is some satisfying reassurance I bet! Hopefully while I have RWD I will not have to deal with snow in California much, but if I ever start frequenting snowy areas I would happily stay in luxury but trade for AWD

also the plugs should be gapped at .43 not .44 per manual.
what is your tire pressure at?
Started to record miles already. Tire pressure wise, my M35 computer showed only one rear left tire and usually doesn't show any tire pressures at all. From reading up I guess after new tires sensor might not kick in for a while. But the one that showed was 29
. I guess I just need make sure they are all at 33 psi
