    A good option might be to do EGR inspection together with engine coolant change. The upstream component is essentially a radiator, has 3 coolant hoses attached.

    Does that mean that:
    If your car got half the mpg it would cost 7 cents a gallon of fuel and:
    If your car got double the mpg, it would cost 28 cents a gallon of fuel and:
    If your car got 200,000 mpg, it would cost $600 a gallon of fuel?:giggle:

    Hey, you can make the EGR last indefinitely. Just drain the oil from the engine and don't add any back. No oil, no EGR contamination. You won't be able to drive for very long, but that's just an incidental side effect. ;)
