    Alabama picked for Toyota-Mazda plant, sources say

    Jeff, sorry, but I find it VERY had to believe that a particular brand of full synthetic will make the engine "run much smoother" than any other quality synthetic brand! Its all in you head and being imagined.

    Hi, Even though I have just 8,00 miles on my 2017 Hyundai Elantra SE Value Edition, I would REALLY love to dump these OEM Kumho Solus TA13 tires. What are the top tier grand touring LRR (low rolling resistance tire) that would be a huge improvement in ride quality and comfort? Thanks!

    ndfergy, Thanks for the screen shot of the manual! I was thinking about using a 5W-30, like Pennzoil Gold, but if I switch to 5W-30 in place of 5W-20, will I notice a slightly lower fuel economy?
