Default First time Smog check

Hey guys,

Finally got the Smog check notice on my DMV renewal.....

Anyone know a good place to go and for sure pass?

I think this one can go any Smog check place. Anyone know?

I have about 55K on an 07.

2500 Miles since last oil change with 3 track days on the 2500.

Should I do an oil change before I go Smog check?

Thanks for your helpsss!!

Your oil should always be relatively new before you do a smog.

The oil quality doesnt affect your smog readings. They barely rev your car to 5k.

If the car is stock with no oil burning issues, it should have no problem with passing.

Unless if you're burning oil, the most important thing you can control is getting the cat at hot as possible
