I'm currently driving for Postmates and putting a lot of city miles on the car. Oil was burning almost as fast as the gas. Finally a coil went out at 6am in the rain while it was still dark out while I was dropping of scooters. Talk about the perfect storm. I drove it limp on the streets to finally drop the Birds off at their nest and limped it to the mechanic, where I waited until they opened.
Replaced all spark plugs $100
Replaced PCV $63 (dealer recommended every 60k miles)
Parts
PCV valve $21.53
Spark Plugs $16.28(4)=$65.12
#1 Coil $117.25
2 quarts 5W30 $3.75(2)=$7.50
$374.40
Tax $20.08
Total $394.48
Feel like I'm breaking even doing Postmates, but on good weeks it can add up. Keep hustling.
