Yup, no way would we be getting the power AND the fuel economy without DI. Running 87 octane gas with an 11-14:1 compression ratio and not burning a hole through a ring land is only possible with direct injection.

Well I got the new manifold installed in the Accent. Unfortunately I broke off the metal pcv valve in the valve cover and all attempts at extraction failed. Ended up having to remove the valve cover, drill out the old valve, buy a new pcv valve, and re tap both the pcv valve and the valve cover...

Not the case. The 2.4 and 2.0 turbo are the ones with the rod bearing problems. In my experience it's mainly the American made HK vehicles from that era that have engine issues. If the VIN start with a K, you're golden.

I've been running 15w-50 in my Accent during the summer for years. I can go into the live data and see the CVVT data in real time and I've never seen a commanded vs actual discrepancy or even a delayed response with 15w-50. If you want a quiet engine 15w-50 (the regular m1 version) is quite...

Going to be doing an entire intake manifold replacement tomorrow. Accent started acting very strange last Tuesday, low on power, very loud induction sound like I was driving a V8 with a short ram intake, stalling on deceleration. Threw a CEL for the intake manifold runner control being stuck...

2016 Hyundai Accent SE, 1.6l, 240,124 miles, 3100 OCI. Out: Mobil 1 0w-40, Super tech ST9688 In: Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 0w-40, Pennzoil PZ37 filter. Pennzoil Ultra Platinum flows way better (easier starts) below freezing. Mobil 1 used to be great back when it was PAO/Ester blend with a crazy...

Balance the front tires, if those check out and you're sure the hubs are clean the hubs themselves could be bent. I've seen this several times where someone has been chasing a shake and they've replaced the entire front end basically and I determined the hubs to be the problem based on lateral...

How will they glue themselves to the wall without oil? Pretty sure that's made from petrochemicals. I'm big on doing everything we can to mitigate climate chain but stopping oil is very short-sighted considering almost everything from the polyester in the shirts they're wearing to the glue...

You must not live in the rust belt. If I had a dollar for every time I broke a bit, stripped the screw head, and had to chisel it out with an air hammer I'd be rich.

Use a 1/4 impact driver and impact bit. Don't be surprised if you break one.

Still the original, it burns no oil and still makes 180+ psi compression, factory spec is 170psi so it's better than new after all the parts have broken in.

Somehow both Walmart and Amazon rank their M1 0w-40 as best sellers in oil.

I regularly use it up here in the Northeast. I've put some in my freezer which is set to -20°F and it still flows easily. I definitely wouldn't be doing regular cold starts in the 20 and teens with it but anything above freezing is fine.

On another note considering most major chains like Pepboys, Firestone, and Jiffy lube use Pennzoil, think about how many vehicles live their entire life on Pennzoil platinum? On topic to the thread, with a few exceptions here and there I almost always use Mobil 1 and I've got over 237,000...

2016 Hyundai accent 1.6 GDI. 237,063, 3063mi OCI. Out: Mobil 1 15w-50, Supertech ST9688 In: Mobil 1 0w-40, ST9688

Just in time for the fall/winter oil viscosity change.

You probably have a valve cover gasket leaking. Keep in mind this will ruin the new plugs and even the coils so your misfires will return if you don't address it.

99.9% of exploded tires from potholes that come through my shop are low profile. Very expensive, easily destroyed, and to top it all off they have horrendous ride quality. Most of these cars do not have big enough brakes to justify them either. Just a dumb fad if you ask me. I've hit so many...

Got a 2.5 gallon jug of Chevron Delo SDE 15w-40 for $25 on clearance at AutoZone. I'll get three oil changes out of it if I mix in some leftover Mobil 1 15w-50.

Some Mopar vehicles can have this problem but that's a bad design IMO. I've actually sat and read the valve timing actual vs desired on my own vehicle which has dual variable valve timing and even on a cold engine running a 50 grade it's spot on. The closed loop/vvt operation kicks in as soon as...
