Way back Hyundai had a TSB for the Genesis to use Pentosin (I think MTF 2) in Canada and others. BMW was using the same. When cold it was impossible to get into 2nd gear at the time. My Sonata had the same issue so I switched to that and it was better, not great but better. I had first tried BG...

Now we need TyreReviews to test against others as well the other various test places. Then the sale deals, service if needed decisions. My sons Forte will need new if we get them. It's in VA now and not sure how many trips back to NY he will do. He has 1 year old, low mileage TrueContact Tour...

The obligatory BITOG......"IT'S TOTALED"

It's going be 90 degrees here next week and yet....I'm still jealous right now.

What is the heat source the gas is doing? Forced air or hot water baseboard? I have hot water baseboard as many around me do. I have a SuperStor indirect water heater that is basically a heating zone. Tank is very well insulated and I do not run out of hot water. 4-6 people in house depending...

They should help Fram with the leaf springs.

This was Blackstone on her Tucson. If they got 3.8% I can just imagine what OAI would have tested. I also like take it for a long highway drive before next test. Great that would be false numbers because sample was from how it was being used everyday and why I shortened interval with better oil.

If you still have some you can send to Oil Analyzers or other you can ask for Gas chromatograph test on it. My daughter-in-laws short tripped '21 Tucson, Blackstone said the same thing, except estimated higher fuel. The raw fuel smell was nauseating and in my drain pan all the oil was...

What is the gritty/sandy looking stuff at the bottom of the can? Have you experienced that prior? Asking as I had the same in my daughter-in-laws Tucson when I changed it first time at about 18k IIRC. Indy shop had done it prior.

So with motor running/trans spinning in park it will drop down by 1.25qts on the level to be at or below that check plug? I actually thought about that for next time. Fill the 3 quarts through the check plug and then only suffer through 1.25 qts through the top. If doing it as you describe...

Bosch ESI6 comes in metal cans.

We will need updates with pictures of the oil changes along the way otherwise this will be like a Burlesque show. Just enough teasing to keep us intrigued. 😁 :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Any burning concerns that more VRP might have helped clean? How many VRP rounds did you do?

Over the years many also had issues from unevenly torqued lug nuts contributing to that. I don't recall that but I do most of my own work and torque mine the same. Many of my issues when that happened was as above with brakes nice and hot and then holding pedal down hard at a stop light. Pad...

3rd transmission (Import Multi Vehicle) and power steering (Maxlife) D&F's done on sons Forte. Daughter-in-laws '21 Tucson, 26k on vehicle. 1x transmission drain and fill with Hyundai ATF SP4-M1, 4.25 quarts. Front transfer case and rear differential done. Mobil Delvac 1 without LS additive...

Went in today. 2017 Accord 2.4L 6MT, 5543 on oil, 121.5k on motor. Out -Fram FE7317, 1qt HPL PCEO 5W-30 and 3.5qts Chevron Delo 400 XSP 5W-40. Had to add 1.75qts during the OCI, it was about 1/4 quart off the full mark. It is sunny/dry today and raining for the next week. My son just did the...

Ok, it would help if I actually READ what I put in my notes/maintenance. Must have been tired like always. It was HALF quarts added not full. Total top offs for this OCI that I just did today was 1.75 quarts in 5500 miles. Still not great but much better 3 in 4300. 🙄 :whistle: I looked back at...

I installed some on 3 of my vehicles. Each time I change oil there is a small grey stuff on the magnet. Would the filter catch it? Hopefully but if you have one of the Fram's with the Ruffles/Wavy spring then maybe not. I also have a Filtermag on some of them. When I cut the filters you can see...

My sons Forte calls for Kia SP-III I believe. I've used Maxlife red bottle ATF for all his changes. I use my HF extractor. I just 3x changes the last week since I was doing his transmission anyway. Daughters CRV I used Honda PSF after repairs from a rusted out metal line. I had used Autozone...

2010 Forte 2.0L with 4800 on the oil, just shy of 192k on the car. Out - Kia/Hyundai factory filter. 1qt HPL PCEO 5W-30, 3.25qts PP Euro L 5W-30. In - Kia/Hyundai factory filter. 4.25qts of Valvoline Restore & Protect 5W-30. It might be a while before I see it again and maybe longer to 5k. Son...
