My mother's 2012 Sonata doesn't use oil at 120k. Interestingly, my 2016 with the 3.3 burned so much that I traded it in. 2 quarts per 1k miles they said was normal lol

I'm only looking to use it for dump runs every other week. The rot is just the rockers, mostly the left side as it's eaten into the door and body. Leaf springs and mounts are fine, they looked bad but aren't, as well as the axle. Underneath the body is surprisingly clean. It's only got 80k...

It's actually been sitting since 2012. I did a Google street view and it was 100% white in 2012 when it was taken. Well after several more months of sitting, here she is. 1994 with the 3.0. New battery, fresh gas (had about 0 gallons in it) freed the pulleys, put some oil down the top end and...

Will post pics of the undercarriage on my 3 year old car. Would make saltless-livers cringe.

I saw it on the Rogue's a lot, and a few other's have posted about it on Pathfinder talk and once on the Maxima forums. It happens whenever, it's random enough that I can't find a pattern or anything that might trigger it. I'd hate for it to happen on a drive to Florida later this year, and not...

The car could be sitting overnight or for a few minutes and it'll do it. I forgot to mention that every cold start, it revs up and idles around 1800rpm and then suddenly drops to normal, then slowly revs back up. I also get gas at various places. Intake was and TB was clean.

I have an issue with my 2017 Pathfinder, and I've seen the same problem on other newer nissans but few and far between with no fix. So weather doesn't matter, doesn't matter if the engine is cold or warm, doesn't matter if Ive been using 93 or 87 octane, or how much gas is in it. When going to...

Looking into it from toyota, it takes WS. I haven't bought TransMax thankfully.

Wow didn't expect so many responses, sorry for the delay. So it's shifting fine, it's just that I can feel it shifting more often than not. Yes the fluid is at the right level. It drained about half out, I've only driven it about 50 miles. The fluid was grey and smelled bad, about what you'd...

Got a 2009 Scion XB with the auto trans- 160k miles. It was shifting fine but the whole car was neglected so I did a drain and fill with MaxLife. It's compatible (Dextron VI) but now is shifting worse. You can feel it sometimes now, sometimes it shudders into OD and when cold it kind of feels...

Generally the XM "shark fin" will be there but if it's not equipped, which for a modern car would be odd, it won't have the Sirius module installed. On my Toyota I have the Sirius fin but no Sirius "box" or wiring under the seat. It's cheaper to keep the plastic part and an XM button than to...

He said he took them apart, cleaned up the rust and re-lubed them. I believe the car sat since December of 2019 since the sticker and registration ran out January of 2020. Brakes are working well now.

I ended up bringing it to a shop. Turns out the front calipers were seized but they were able to take them apart and clean+lube them up and do a flush. Cars going great now!

Brakes and caliper replaced. The brake doesnt really firm up even when the engine is off, so I'm not sure if I can even bleed them. Again nonleaking fluid and looks good.

Thanks everyone for the replies! It's actually been sitting for 7 years. The key was one of the first things I found when cleaning out the house. I don't know what motor it has or the condition of anything under the hood because the hood release cable snapped and vice grips can't pull it. There...

All good points. Unfortunately being in the rust belt, it wouldn't be worth trying to remove the tank. Still need to find the key first. If we don't find it I'm not sure if I can get one made or not. I have a syphon I'll use to remove what's in the tank. I really hope it's not full. I also...

My grandmother sadly and suddenly passed away and left her 1993(ish) Dodge Caravan. It's been parked in her driveway for almost 10 years. It's only got 80k miles on it, so I'd like to try getting it going. I don't remember how much gas is in it but I've heard people say anywhere from gas is junk...

So the caliper was seized. I'm in the middle of replacing it but apparently Toyota requires a special piston tool that not only pushes it, but spins it too. So I'll have to order that before i can do anything else.

that makes sense, thank you. I'll pick up the parts and bleed it afterward and see how it goes.

Just towed a 2008 Scion xB. The LR wheel apparently locked up but is now free. That wheel is brown and so is the bumper behind it, I'd assume the caliper seized and it was driven until the pads burned off. Issue now is that caliper is opened, that brake/caliper is still somewhat working but...
