That oil couldn't have been ever changed.

Time for eBay!

Star Trek: The Next Generation. "The Inner Light" Probably the best, but saddest episode.

Cleaning up those ring lands!

125 on the high side seems a bit low to me.

Makes me want to go out and get a 9V battery……

I quit giving reviews on Amazon when I was trying to leave a review for a set of Imore earbuds that I was replacing. Went to leave a review and got the message “we are not accepting reviews on this item from this account”. So for giggles I got on chat to ask why. If you ever get on Amazon CS...

The Valvoline Motorcycle oil will work just fine. I prefer OEM filters. Chain wax for the chain lube.

How many of those Pintos exploded after the recalled bracket was installed?

This, and the fact that most taxis pretty much run 24/7 or rarely have a cold start.

So did the customer lose his mind when he got the news?

It will work fine as long as the overall diameter is the same. Which, in this case, it seems to be. I did this exact thing on a 2014 Elantra a few years ago. Had absolutely no issues. The highest cost was getting the tire monitors swapped over. The ride quality will be noticeably smoother.

This is a classic “Kobayashi Maru” scenario. The shops gonna get the blame no matter what. One of those “it’s never knocked or made strange noises before I brought it in” type of deals. Unless the guy is a stand up, seems you have two choices: used engine on the shops dime, or send him out the...

Brake fluid, definitely. Transmission fluid, drain and fill if you're gonna do it. Tires are new, so just PSI on them, and I'd swap out that belt.... It's 17 years old. Check hoses. Inspect the air filter, it's probably as old, also. Press on with pride.

That dipstick is varnished pretty bad. I'd continue to use the Valvoline Restore and Protect, and keep nursing it along. Looks more like timing chain rather than rods, by the descriptions so far.

Wife's KONA has the same feature. Made me scratch my head when it first came on, but it does work. A/C never has that funk on start up.

I have had great success running 5K intervals and 5w-30 on the 2.4L. The Valvoline Restore and Protect would continue to do great, being left in for the trip.
