    Well my car god psychic powers are weak today so you'll have to tell us if the car has any modifications that would hinder it from passing. mmmk? Also you need to post what you failed on. I see the reading but no the test info. Was it CO, nxO, hydrocarbons?

    fresh oil change, run fuel injector cleaner. run the shit out of it right before you go get the emissions done, the engine needs to be hot hot hot and you should pass.

    good luck.

    And that oil would have to be seriously old for themal capacity/lubricity to be a problem for cylinder temps. If that helps someone pass emissions shame on them lol.
