I'm embarrassed to say that I don't know. It's been a while since the last oil change, and each time I have the oil changed, I can't decide which type of oil to put in.

No, I didn't change anything, really. I don't know what would have happened. But, I suspect the obvious thing to do at this point is to change the fuel filters. I will start with the small one, and...
