Good job!!! Nice to have your checklist.

And you can see why I used a diesel additive before taking the cars from the boat to the lab. Can't afford to fail a $2000 test. Additives DO WORK.

Update:

Had the normal service performed: oil, filters, etc. Then put a bottle (80 oz.) of Diesel Kleen in the tank with close to 100 gallons of diesel and ran the p-waddin' (my mom's term) out of it; about 40 miles at approximately 70 mph. And straight to the emissions station. Opacity dropped from 63 to 2.9; yep, 2.9. Amazing. Good for another year.

Thanks to all for the input/advice.

Thank you for documenting this. Those of us with non computer engines may need to prepare for the possible rule changes in California.
