Doing the math, the battery has a capacity of about 20AH. It's done! Costco has a very good battery warranty. I think it's 4 years no questions asked for a free replacement.

That's not old.

These videos explain a piston soak. 3 parts and all worth watching.

My 2 cents... You are trying to fix the oil consumption problem but the magic oil isn't working. Try a barrymans B12 piston soak. It helped my Hyundai. If none of this works, save your money and run Supertech. Your driving style is easy on oil.

My wife has the car 600 miles away and a problem has developed. The rearview mirror mounts to a metal button/shoe that is glued to the windshield. Problem is the mirror mount is made of plastic and was a loose fit on the button/shoe. Now the plastic mount [slips over shoe] has cracked, and of...

The voltage is only slightly off....A battery can take some minor abuse for a short time. I would put the new battery in and monitor the voltage. something like this would be convenient... https://www.aliexpress.us/item/2251801576905307.html?gatewayAdapt=glo2usa4itemAdapt

I have used a few of these on my Hyundais. Always first class when cut open. Consistent OEM quality. $10 Canadian/ $7 US at the dealer. I go at most 12,000 miles on the filter only if conditions are good, not many short trips etc... It's a little small.

The following advice is free and you get what you pay for. I've seen perhaps two batteries with brown acid in them. They were both shot. Check all related connections and grounds and check voltage again [with a different meter]. If problem persists... Replace the battery. Can you borrow one...

In my opinion 14.75 volts is a little out of range. Is this measured right at the battery posts? AGM or flooded? Try a different volt meter.

The owner's manual for many of the cars I have owned suggest you can use a filter for 2 OCIs. V8s of the 70s 80s and 90s and some V6 Dodge engines. I try for a larger filter with a wire backed media and use the filter for multiple years sometimes. My 99 Dodge has had the same filter for 4 years...

With my older cars/batteries I will remove the caps and if I see the plates are not Black/Grey/Black/Grey. They are more Grey-Grey. In other words they are becoming sulfated. I will trickle charge the battery for a couple of days [topping up water as necessary] and the plates tend to...

Fully warmed engine at steady idle, MAF reading jumping from 3.0 to 4.0 does not seem right to me. Should sit close to 3.0. I ain't no expert. Maybe someone here knows if this acceptable but my cars don't do that.

Fram PH8a should work fine unless there is not enough room. Should the engine twist on it's mounts will a bigger filter hit anything? Will it be struck by road debris? I use the bigger Fram Ultra XG8a on my van with a 3.3. I leave it on for 3 or 4 oil changes.

How many people right now are screwing up the threads of their engines? When I receive excellent service or outstanding value for my money I got out of my way to thank those responsible. I do this so I can feel validated when complaining about a service or a product that resembles donkey...

I bought a gas water heater about 10 years ago and found that the temp dial would not go above about 120F. I pulled off the plastic temp dial and found a tab on the back of the dial that was hitting part of the metal temp regulator. I broke off the tab and re-installed. It then allowed the dial...

Hyundai made a lot of bad engines. Mostly from 2011 to 2016. Those made in the Georgia USA plant had the debris from crankshaft machining left in the oil passages leading to bearing failure. The piston design of the 1.8 and 2.0Nu engines result in piston slap and worn rings leading to high oil...

Good job ! Looks like the trans filter was relatively clean, I have seen much worse. I don't understand this dip stick plug in the trans pan. What use is it and how did it get there?

Adjusting the brake shoe spreaders so the brake pedal would engage up high again.

This oil supposedly has characteristics that make it better for Hybrid automobiles. The oil in a GDI engine would suffer some of the same problems. Worth a try?
