    Oil usage in newer cars

    Oil usage in newer cars

    Wondering what you all thought of what you think is normal oil usage for newer vehicles these days. I have a 2023 Chevy Equinox 1.5 liter turbo with 17,000 miles and it has used approx. 1 quart of oil per 5,000 miles since new. Do you think this is normal?

    No sound from my Linux Mint install, output is set to dummy speakers

    No sound from my Linux Mint install, output is set to dummy speakers

    My current HP Laptop will not support sound on Linux so I am stuck with windows until the kernel catches up to the hardware. I can still use Bluetooth audio. I'm slightly optimistic that the next release of Fedora will solve my problem as I really dislike windows.

    Interesting I don't think I have ever heard of an electric power steering going bad in a car before

    Odd steering issue with 2016 Malibu

    2016 Chevy Malibu 110,000 miles with cross climate 2 tires. So my wife came home Friday and told me that 3 times while coming home when she changed lanes on the highway her car felt like she was driving on ice. I took it out yesterday and was able to get it to reproduce the event. It feels...
