Thanks for relaying your info regarding the "lawn mower syndrome." It sounds like a valid theory, but the 850 has been running perfectly for the past week. There have been dozens of engine starts in the meantime with no hard start events at all.

And I have probably only have around 10,000 miles on a new set of plugs. I cleaned the MAF sensor a couple months ago. (Wasn't dirty...)

I'm due for an oil change pretty soon, so the oil change and filter issue will be taken care of.

My hard start event was after normal city driving for maybe 30 minutes or so. Then the hard start occurred after maybe 15 minutes with the engine off.
