BTW, the size torx for the coils is T-30. Thanks alot, buddy
Anyway, I bought a code reader and these codes came up. P2190 and P2188. Now I did a oil change 2k miles ago and changed air filter 2k miles bfore that. Why all of a sudden I am getting these 2 codes?

I had my front brake pads and rotors replaced last weekend. I still hear a squeal when I stop. I heard it this morning when I was leaving the garage. What is that about? No brake light on at all.

Got my latest Blackstone Lab report. I knew it was time for a coolant change at 143k but was hoping to not have any issues until then. I am at 121k.
KEVIN: We want to start this sample by saying that wear metals still look very good. Everything is still reading within
the average range. That's the good news. The bad news is that the potassium and sodium in this sample likely show a
small amount of coolant contamination (note the trace of moisture as well). You've caught the problem early, before
any damage was done, so you might be able to live with a little coolant in the oil for a while. For now, though, we'd stick
with this oil change interval (or even a little shorter) to monitor. Keep an eye on your coolant level.
Potassium is at 47, Sodium is at 65. Coolant level was fine. What else to check?
