+6,000 miles (20,000)

The MR light went thru its normal drill at the 8,000 - 10,000 & 18,000
-20,000 mile marks; but the Owners Manual says nothing about the 26,000
mile mark, which is what made me curious. To be on the safe side I redid
the air filter to be sure it was seated correctly and that the 4 screws
were snug (they were *extremely* snug when I undid them the first time).

I hope so, but thought I'd ask around. Thanks for the feedback.
