A bit off the subject, but the same thing may ring true for Hyundai, so watch out.Evidently some filters are too restrictive thus a memo at the dealership stating use of anything other than a Hyundai filter may cause engine damage.Does it void the warranty?it wasn't clear. If I owned a Hyundai...

Both vehicles Dec.and then June 6 months apart(which averages between 3-4K on the oil). one before it gets cold, the other before it gets real hot.I live in Ca.,so I don't have an excuse not to get out there and do it.

Yesterday -1999 - Jeep- 4.0- 90K - 10/30 Maxlife W/ Napa Gold filter. 2002-F-150/5.4-53K - 5/20-PP W/ Motorcraft filter.

Hey Arcographite, the name jogged my memory from way back, If my memory serves me right(30 years maybe) couldn't you throw that oil in with some of the worst ever if it was still around? Wasn't it like black out of the bottle,or maybe can?

God bless the 4.0. High on the list of all time most reliable engines. Got oil? Put it in, they are not too not to picky.

Can I go to a synthetic at 87,000 miles? Although I get free oil changes I,m not sure what their using. I do know last time they threw some B.J.'s oil additive in for free, without asking. I still don't really know what it is or does.I'm hoping a good syn. will clean up the insides, and extend...

My daughter has an 06, great car. Hyundai is big on using their oil filters, problems with some after market filters. Knocking ,flow issues ect.A warning has been posted by Hyundai. Avoid a warranty hassle use the Hyundai oil filter.

Took my daughters 2006 Elantra in for a 7500 mile service. They changed the oil,rotated the tires ect. Picked it up and on the tag noticed they added bg oil additive with the change.Didn't charge me x-tra for it they just threw it in. Seems like they should ask, it isn,t their's. I,m not to much...

My mistake Mobil 1 for example has the spec WSS-M2C930-A not WSS-M2C153-A

My 2002 ford 5.4 specs. for 5/20 oil WSS-M2C153-H . Some of the 5/20 oils out there are labeled WSS-M2C153-A. What,s the difference ,and what does it mean as far as warranty issues Thanks.

Ive been reading here about Mobil 1 evidently switching their formula to now use group 3 basestocks instead of group 4. So what now? Which companys make a absolute without a doubt group 4 synthetic motor oil? The list can,t be that long.

I looking for some all terrains for an 02 ford super crew 4x4, 285/75/16. The bf goodrich ta/ko's seem to be rated the toughest and wear a long time, but don't clear mud to good.Has anyone had any experience with Cooper ST or the Kelly Safari MTS.D I don't want a mud tire but at least an AT...

I have had 2 elantras a 2000 and now a 2006. 2000 had some power window issues namely all of them. other than that, always ran good. Like the 2006 no worries for 5 years on the bumper to bumper.#1 I would find out how the warranty changes, since you are not the orignal owner.#2 using anything...

Dodge 2.7 , sludge kills them at around 60,000 if your lucky. Believe there is a class action against Dodge over these pos engines

Iv'e been watching pretty close for years as our city buys 10 or 20 a year, every year, and they get abused by the various maint. divisions. With absolutely no bias, Fords last the longest, Dodges have the most problems, G.M. in the middle. The ford v-10 for a while had some head problems...
