Checked my stealer page and lucky me I can print a coupon that brings the cost of an 8 quart change down to 148.23. I wouldn't even pay 48.23 unless I physically couldn't do it anymore.

Never heard of such a cheap dealer change before. I think my cadilac stealer wanted 180 bucks for 8 quarts of junk 0w-20 and a whatever filter.

HD is likely straight group 3 which is also 100% synthetic while ss has some pao but the quantity can depend. You'll be giving up a bit of everything with the HD but not like it would matter. Many engines go north of a half million miles on cheap conventional with very minimal wear and blow by...

It's a geared cvt not a belt/chain one. If it's a belt or chain one let it roll before touching the gas and once it starts to accelerate you can go down a bit and hold or gradually go down. If I take my foot of the brake on the outlander sport and quickly accelerate even lightly it jumps a...

https://www.hyundai-forums.com/threads/elantra-2013-transmission-steering-fluid.162359/ The second post says since 2007 they're all electric.

I could've sworn hyundai and kias have been electric power steering since 2009 or thereabouts from what i've read.

Heck no. If anything I'm gonna change the oil with 0w-8 to see what happens and maybe save some bucks over 1600 miles.

I'd at least wait some amount of time. I'm using euro rated 0/5w-40 in my 2021's 6.2 instead of awful 0w-20 and the ring cleanliness is much better than cheap dexos 1 gen 3 oils which can be made in a synthetic blend oil and isn't impressive. After 46k no increase in oil consumption at all. It...

The 7.3 is happy with whatever hdeo is in it and it takes a lot of oil. If it was mine I'd use this 15w-40 first as that's what both of my old trucks get and they love it. I'd use the 10w-30 if it gets near 0f. Mag 1 is the house brand of warren highline and they make supertech and other oils so...

Does it? it's 4.1 or 4.2 hths and iirc the volvo vds 4.5 spec doesn't allow 40 grades to go below 3.9 and 30 grades below 3.4.

It did when I switched from 20 to 40 in my l87 years ago. Thicker in general reduces consumption but not always and very rarely may it increase it but changing from one 0w-20 to another can do the same thing too. The l87 is vvt too and toyotas spec everything from 0w-20 to 20w-50 outside of the...

Wow I didn't know you were a psychic, how'd you know? What're the next powerball numbers gonna be? I had to look up the spelling to make sure and it says ESP in there. Doesn't get more prophetic than that.

Don't these newer cars require a bidirectional scanner to do brakes or is this one spared.

Someone on here is using 15w-50 instead of 0w-16 in their toyota. Can't remember the thread but any engine can run thick if the starting temperature permits.

I rented one in mexico years ago and it wasn't bad for two people. The AC was fine at the stop and wasn't slow enough to be a death trap. I think you got a clapped out one.
