    What size battery to get?

    Oddly, after replacing the PMM last weekend I've had to jump my car twice in 3 days. I'm sure they're not related but I thought I would include it. What's more likely is that my OEM battery is finally going after nearly 8 years so it's time for a replacement According to the battery fit guide...

    Musty smell

    So there's a TSB for this (0700213) where you take it to the dealer and they spray some "coil coating" onto the evaporator that is supposed to help with the musty/mildew smell.

    Battery maintenance

    So I've never had non-sealed battery. Haven't done anything to it either until it's been having trouble holding a charge recently. I turned the key to the On position, left it for about 2 minutes, and that was enough to drain it. So I pulled it out and filled it up a bit with distilled water...
