Recommend clear all codes and reevaluate next oil change. Oil Life %: according to oil change sticker vehicle is way overdue. Should have been changed at 168,192 vehicle is now 182903.

- Vehicle towed in at 10:30 a.m. on 8/24/2021. Found battery dead and attempted to jump start, verified vehicle would crank but would not start. Vehicle sounds like it's low on compression. Removed upper timing belt cover and inspected. Found timing belt intact. Added starter fluid to air intake and verified vehicle would still not start. Necessary to do computer diagnosis and check ignition system along with verifying timing belt had not jumped. Prescanned vehicle; found no engine codes present. Monitored crankshaft positioning sensor using scan tool confirming sensor signal is present. Doing wide open crank, was able to get vehicle to start which indicates that cylinders were flooded not allowing spark to cross the gap. Most likely since the battery is 12 years old, charging system did not have enough cranking amps to crank the motor quick enough to get good compression but enough to fire the injectors. Perform battery test to confirm battery is testing bad at 300 cold cranking amps. Recommend replacing battery. Installed new battery and performed battery terminal service, added battery terminal protect.
- Performed BG EPR engine flush in combination with oil change service.
- Performed oil change service, replaced oil filter, drained and refilled with recommended engine oil to spec's with added BG MOA, added oil sticker for 11/29/2021 or 185903 which ever comes first.
