Good to know Lgraz5. I'm planning on keeping my car for another 2 years hopefully. Wondering if I should go with an AGM battery or a less expensive lead-acid one.

I would stick with the OEM battery unless you can be certain you are using the exact equivalent. Not, almost the same, exactly the same. Too many questions and problems otherwise.

9 years and no battery issues. I had it checked at auto zone and it was fine. Guy was surprised. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
