Just a high water table. Another reason we have no basements here.

Wow! Here in Arkansastan, we can hit water at 3-50 feet.

DMV....

You must have some good water supply in that well.

My 2024 Mazda CX5 has been dead reliable as well. 2.5L, 6 speed tranny. Most people I know trade them because they are a bit smaller than similar SUVs. Not because of reliability issues.

Amazing those pumps can push water that high, I was under the impression there was only so far they could push.

Lubegard works. I used it in my former 2014 Elantra, noticed an improvement in shift quality in about 100-150 miles, this using stock fluid.

Could be because since the o2 sensor is detecting a lean condition due to the misfire, it might be trying to load more fuel to compensate. So you have both a water entry issue (evidenced by the super clean piston) and a richer condition from the eco giving it more fuel.

I’d go one year oil and filter. Once a year (1000 miles) will at least allow the additives to bond with the metals a bit before getting washed away. No reason to go any more than this.

Maybe valvoline R&P will help with those fuel diluting short trips. I’ll side with the mechanic for 3k max changes.

If it was fuel, then you'd be getting rich codes. Time for a radiator pressure test.

My CX-5 is 40K, and also my 2025 KONA turbo is 50K

I think if one puts an "electronic" dipstick in, the oil tried and true manual dipstick should be included anyway. I'd pay the extra $10 it takes to put a dipstick in on the assy line. This would help ensure that people like me, who check oil quite often, could do that, and that one thing you...

I'd go with a weak coil. Hill is a load, meaning misfire is under load. The only other issue I can think of right off is a weak fuel pump.

I'd go with the R&P. 5K or not.
