    ACEA A3/B4 oils still relevant in 2024 for Turbo GDI 'High performance' Engines? - Hyundai ElantraN

    Is it harder to maintain lane center the older you get?

    Could be a possibility as I notice a bit less "on top of every aspect of my driving" so to speak at 62. I drive a tuner car with a lot of work to my suspension. I am hyper aware of car location and I do question have I lost some since my car days of tuner cars of in my 20's and yester years. I...

    Thoughts on this high mileage 2020 MAZDA CX-9

    $2,000. Maybe from your life long best friend who is a mechanic that owes you big time for saving his life. :) Now a days the starting point I think would be more around $3,500 if it was not you who did the work. And who knows if there is a lower end main bearing cap sub-frame unit for the...

    Used Hyundai / Kia CRV?

    Don't consider buying a Hyundai in that year range. Buy a Honda or Toyota. I would pick a Rav4 myself. Ours has been almost flawless in reliability. But then again, for the most part, so has my beat-on Hyundai.

    High mileage Hyundai Elantra for all the haters.

    "Lot's of people here hating on Hyundai saying their engines are junk. No idea if this one has the original engine or even if it's on it's 3rd or 4th, but I'd love to try it out for the experience," "MOST" of their engines are junk, not all of them. And most of their issue is "metallurgy...

    What are you listening to right now?

    Good, but she doesn't have Tyler's range and her voice is too low, hence the helper vocals. I question why do it unless you kill it. She just kills the Dio stuff. Even her Pat Benatar and Joan Jett songs she kills those too. This not so much.

    Home inspector flagged multiple neutrals on single lug in breaker panel

    There is no need as long as that main panel is the FIRST unit with a disconnect( IE main breaker) shut off of the wire coming from the power company's pole or underground run. New code mandates has shut off disconnects on the meter box or after the meter box, THEN the main panel is treated as a...

    Home inspector flagged multiple neutrals on single lug in breaker panel

    Pull the meter ( very high chance you don't have a meter based disconnect) Anti-Ox the mains, use the lower neutral bar and spread out the bunched up neutrals the right side and call it a day. You go any farther and you open up a rats nest. Spend the time and make it neat. You still may be...

    2021 Civic. 8k Oil Change. Severe fuel dilution.

    Well my tuned Hyundai 1.6T had some very very bad fuel dilution at one point, like 1.50+ qts of fuel within my dump point of of 3,000 miles. I wanted better oil when I was pushing 23 psi boost, and a ton fuel in my oil. You can use the cheaper oil if you like. I still have the exact same tunes...
