Boring which I like after the Santa Fe silver surprise.

Horizontal that screws from the bottom gets a hole from an awl to drain before I spin it off.

Not happy about all the silver showing up. Gotta find out what's in this motor that's silver. I've seen King engine bearings that use a silver overlay but not sure what's used by Hyundai in this motor.

Pressure tested it tonight. Needle sagged half the width of the indicator arrow after three mins. Will decide on a stop leak solution tonight.

So May 1st my daughter totaled her 05 Liberty, and it has been replaced by a 2009 Nitro w/149k miles. No clue how long the oil was in there or what it was. Not happy, but engine is quiet so we'll see how it goes. Cooling system is tight no leaks, no loss of coolant so far in three months...

Much better than the last analysis. I changed the air filter after the last one, it didn't look bad but the seals around the edges were rather hard. Considering she averages 13 miles a day this is going to be in there a while. Previous analysis.

Filter is a drop in, look at Mahle OX417D. Here is the TSB.

Bought a 2012 Santa Fe as a replacement for the wife's Caliber. When she test drove it, she got out, pulled me to the side and said "I must have this!" She had driven a CRV, a RAV4 and a Crosstrek but this just punched all the right buttons for her. Happy wife = happy life. It has a rattle on...

Anybody have any experience / recommendations on aftermarket seat heater kits? Daughter wants them in her Liberty and I'd like them in my Sebring 'vert.

I just went through this. Looked at a 2012 CRV vs a 2012 Santa Fe as a replacement for wife's 07 Caliber. Miles similar, wife drove CRV first plus she's driven her brother's CRV. Went to Hyundai dealer, drove the Santa Fe and she pulled me aside and said she had to have it. She found the CRV...

Oil was changed at this time to Mobil1 5W30. After I got the report back I changed the AF. Old filter didn't look bad, no holes but the edge seals were hard. No leaks noted in intake system. Her having a car adds a lot of flexibility to our lives. She can drive herself to work, after school...

So my daughter has gotten her license and decided the car for her is a Liberty. After much shopping we found an 05, 170K miles she bought in Sept 2015. Trans needs five seconds to engage from park, so I'm guessing the clutch volumes for the 1st pack are through the roof. Suspension is tight, no...

I just replaced the radiator in my 04 Sebring and decided to change the Gates hoses that I had installed in May 2011 over 110K miles ago. They still feel like new, not spongy or hard.

LeMons race car.

My three burner Weber is 21 years old and still going. Original burners, second replacement set of Flavorizer bars I went stainless, and 3rd set of grates (now also stainless).

On my Sebring the tie rod goes in from the top and points down. When I first replaced the outer ends (Moog IIRC) they had just the boot that slipped on and depended on the compression between the body of the tie rod and the knuckle to seal. Greased them every couple thousand miles and they still...

Check you local pick-n-pulls for any Sebring convertible with a twillfast top and swap the entire assembly. You'll need a helper but it's the best way for a DIY top. Lots of these are garage queens and when they have a mechanical failure they get junked with nice tops and interiors. I bought a...

I sent in my latest oil change sample and in the interest of science I sent in a sample of some Champion Brand Syn Clean Syn Blend 10W30.

B168 is close but has 8 psi bypass. Same for B199.
