Never.

That is unfortunate. I would say by 2017 I don't think these were dropping like flies like the earlier models were. My parents have a 2017 that just turned 100K miles and thankfully is running well.

VW has it, it's fine I just don't care for the extra wear however minimal it may be. Both my wife and I shut the feature off after starting the car, but sometimes I forget and I will usually just leave the feature on for the rest of the drive.

Others have probably already said this, but those are possibly the two worst choices. Toyota / Honda / Mazda is where I would start looking.

They built those well! Didn't some have steering rack issues? Any trouble with yours?

Looks good. I've been getting the "made in Turkey" filters from the dealer lately.

I'd say 2 hours. Wake up, eat breakfast, take meds, get out 3 year old something for breakfast and dress him, shower and get changed, do devotions pack up and head out. 2 hours sounds like a lot of time but it sure flies by when in this context.

2008-2010 had more oil burning issues, 2011-2012 would be preferred for sure as long as you find a well maintained example. I had a 2012 Accord 2.4 before the Camry, excellent car.

I've always liked these cars, wouldn't mind owning one. Great job on the detail!

I've only seen them listed on this site over the years. One member did their own testing if I remember correctly, which reflected what the manufacturer had stated. Years ago some manufactures published that data, as least they would disclose it to you over email.

Certainly not necessary, but preferred by me and many others. Of note Honda and Toyota do spec a significantly less restrictive media in their OEM filters. Take that for what it may be worth. It is also worth mentioning that there seems to be a noticeable drop in quality of oil filters across...

Right, I am well aware. I was just stating that all op needs to worry about is locating an oil with the 508.00 certification. I've just seen too many owners see "0w20" then go out and dump Pennzoil Platinum or similar in "because it takes 0w20". 508.00 and you are good.

Use the factory owners manual specified oil. Which is VW 508.00 spec. I'm not sure if you are familiar with VW/Audi spec oils but you can essentially forget about the weight in this application. Just get an oil that has the 508.00 spec and you will be good to go. Personally I just pick up the...

0w20 all day every day with a Honda OEM filter. 5K / 6 months. I'm not saying its perfect but it's reasonable and works for me.

I know of 5 people in my circle that have had Hyundai engine failures. Four were the 2.4, the other was the 1.6 turbo.
