    Oil usage in newer cars

    Wondering what you all thought of what you think is normal oil usage for newer vehicles these days. I have a 2023 Chevy Equinox 1.5 liter turbo with 17,000 miles and it has used approx. 1 quart of oil per 5,000 miles since new. Do you think this is normal?

    No sound from my Linux Mint install, output is set to dummy speakers

    Debian is great, nice solid and reliable but often not the best choice for someone with newer equipment. I currently am dual booting Windows and Debian but no support for sound on my laptop. Fedora on the other hand will probably support my equipment much sooner. So I have my fingers crossed...

    No sound from my Linux Mint install, output is set to dummy speakers

    My current HP Laptop will not support sound on Linux so I am stuck with windows until the kernel catches up to the hardware. I can still use Bluetooth audio. I'm slightly optimistic that the next release of Fedora will solve my problem as I really dislike windows.

    E-ZPass transponders

    I think they are going to the windshield sticker more to prevent people from switching it from car to car. Just my opinion....

    86 Octane in the western states?

    So last last week I had to do a road trip. Left central Michigan for Phoenix Thursday Friday then return back to Michigan right away on Sunday Monday, total 4,500 miles driven. While stopping for gas I noticed many of the gas stations sold 86 octane fuel once I got past say Texas. I thought...

    Odd steering issue with 2016 Malibu

    2016 Chevy Malibu 110,000 miles with cross climate 2 tires. So my wife came home Friday and told me that 3 times while coming home when she changed lanes on the highway her car felt like she was driving on ice. I took it out yesterday and was able to get it to reproduce the event. It feels...

    2023 Equinox ... Owners manual doesn't state what fluids to use

    I was thinking that maybe the manual was printed before a fluid was decided on?

    2023 Equinox ... Owners manual doesn't state what fluids to use

    Looking at my 2023 Chevy Equinox AWD owners manual and I see that it does not list what type of fluid to use for the transfer case and rear end. All it says is see your dealer. 1. Why wouldn't they state what to use? 2. Anyone know what it takes?
