$230 oxygen sensor replaced (bank 1) by iddy. Car was shaking significantly at idle when warm and p2231 was a solid code (had been pending for ~1 year on and off).

Winter tires on and oil change at 108K.
Oil leak came from O-ring at top of filter housing.
Guess ~ 9 months between oil change is a bad idea for that o-ring.
Shop did a nice job cleaning it up.
Still Clunk-free.

Seventh year of ownership, $960 this year.
Keeping it at around $1000 a year not bad for a 12 year old car.

Valve cover gasket started leaking near 109k miles.
I can smell it and see it.
Will do it when I put in the new windshield cowl I got for my birthday.

New cowl in and VCG.
Ecs tuning cowl (~$70) could fit a little more snug.
Better than the cracked one one.
VCG went alright except for the 2 middle nut-on-nut ones that hold the grounds. Top nut would unwind bottom nut, and with the wires attached, that was a problem.
Managed best I could with small cutting wheel and Dremel to make a grove.
Worked for one, and not in other. Had to cut wires. Resoldered in the end. Fingers crossed on that.
Used Grey permatex at half moons.
Fingers crossed on that too.
