Not a bad deal. I think one of mine is an older version of this charger. But I would personally avoid non-UL certified EVSEs if you have an attached garage, small kids, and want to crank it up to 40 Amps. After upgrading to a full EV, I decided that it was not worth the risk and upgraded my...
I hate washing cars manually; such a waste of time that could be spent doing something more valuable, like spending time with my wife and kids. Maybe once they get older, I can try to wash it with them(make them wash it instead of me, ha ha). Until then, automatic car wash at least weekly with a...
I used to have 2013 500 Sport Turbo with multiple performance and suspension modifications. It was a hoot to drive… older 500e was reported to be also fun to drive with all that instant torque…
You can ship it to me; I'll use it in my Yota hybrid that calls for 0w-16. I'll pay for shipping. Dumping it into a recycle barrel sounds like a waste...
While doing that comparison don’t forget to add up emissions from oil discovery, extraction, shipping, refinery and then shipping fuel to fuel stations. People seem to forget about it and take it for granted…
What I don’t like in Outlander PHEV is that it starts engine for heat very early. Like 60-62f (climate control is set on auto for 70-72. I know that if AC has 10 or more degree diff for ambient vs your target temp, it will enable recirc, so maybe same logic goes for hrat and it start ICE). It...
I owned 2014 Volt. Got it with about 40k miles after the lease, and sold it to Carvana 1.5 years ago with 102k miles on the clock. My lifetime mpg was 115. (the first owner used it as a hybrid it seems without charging much). It was still getting 34-36 miles per charge even though my driving was...
I would be interested. I'm also in TX in the Austin suburbs. I will have the 2022 XLE delivered on Dec 8. It has 37.5k miles right now, ex Hertz rental car. I have some 5W-20 and 0W-20 in the stash. Plan to do a short run with fresh oil to "flush" whatever is there now as I don't know what it is...
Looked at the air filter yesterday, still pretty clean, some dead bugs there, can easily go a couple more ocis. Filter box housing seems to latch tight and properly.
I will take a look at air filter. But I did check it at the start of Durablend OCI (the one prior to that). It looked almost brand new, so I left it in place. Cabin filter was significantly dirty, so that one got replaced at that time.
I would say half of them could be— Engine fired up, and within 5 mins I got home… Prior to change in use case of car, that would be the case in 80% of engine starts(hence pretty significant fuel dilution and not many miles driven in the first 2 UOAs). Now, at least twice a week, car has to use...
