yeah its not to bad just need to add a quart of oil and replace the line now. I can't believe how much batteries went up in price since the last one I got. paid nearly a 100 bucks for a one year battery last time I got a 5 year for about 20 less then this one oh well if this lasts 12 years like the old one can't say to much

Yep, I've noticed the price of batteries jump in the last year for some reason. Used to get those 7 year ACdelco's for about $80. I bought one a few months ago and it was nearly $130.

I'm like you though, I keep getting 11-12 years out of them so I can't complain. I've still got an old "green eye" ACdelco in one of the cars, they haven't made that battery in about 10 years and it's still kickin fine, The green eye disappeared at about year #6
