New to me ammo company. Veteran owned. I ordered some 9mm 124gr JHP to test out. Looks like it will be a good load for a home defense gun if you are worried about overpenetration. https://www.defenderammunition.com Would like to have seen a denim test as well, but...

I just acquired a SIG M17. I bought it in time to receive the two free 21 rd magazines and $50 SIG store credit. Put 100 rds of Win NATO ball and 50 rds of 115 gr +P+ hollow points thru it. Function is 100% and POA/POI we spot on. The trigger is excellent for a sriker fired gun. Sights are...

Wife and I were browsing 2019 Mazda CX-5s and CX-9s at the dealership while her 3 was in the service bay for a TSB. Anyway, while she was talking to the salesman, I looked under the hood of both cars: Both had the same 187 HP 2.5l 4 cyl Skyactive engines. CX-5 had 0W-20 on the oil cap CX-9...

The Seattle area got hit with a 'catastrophic' 7-9" snowfall last night/this morning. I am happy to report that the Continental TrueContact Tours did excellent on the AWD Santa Fe. There were only two times that I locked the AWD in due to having to stop on an incline where other cars were...

This will be interesting to watch https://www.hyundaiusa.com/palisade...ing_id=94709&user_id=77225_1-2IB93LA A truly sad development is the Ultrasonic Rear Occupant Alert. Now we need sensors to remind us if we left a child or dog in the back seat.

Anyone have any experience with this tire? Still shopping for my Santa Fe, 235/60-18. https://www.bfgoodrichtires.com/tir...sultList=&zipCode=98038#prod_onglets...

This vehicle has a 'full time' AWD system where it runs in FWD until is senses wheel spin and then automatically directs power to the rear wheels. It also has a AWD Lock feature that locks it into AWD below 25MPH. I don't plan on taking this vehicle off road per se, but would you guys get good...

My son goes to college in central Washington. We live in western Washington, and during the winter, Snoqualmie Pass can be treacherous. Lots of times WashDOT says 'traction tires required except for 4WD/AWD vehicles'. We just got my son a 2015 Ford Escape S, 2.5L, 2WD for school. His old 95...

I tried to have an intelligent engine oil discussion with an Amsoil true believer. I mean true believer in that he is foregoing the OEM recommended OCI and running his Amsoil 25k miles cuz Amsoil's warranty says he can. I need a drink.

Are they stock or are they aftermarket? Either way, they are annoying.

In my 2017 Santa Fe with the Lambda 3.3L, I was planning on running PP or PUP 5W-30 as it meets all the mfr specs. But then I was reading the owner's manual and at 60k miles it says to listen to the valves and adjust the tappet clearances if necessary. I have 28k on mine. So I found a video on...

Just purchased a 17 Hyundai Santa Fe with the 3.3L V6. Manual recommendations include: API Service SM ILSAC GF-4 (or above), ACEA A5 (or above) 5w30 is recommended for CAFE, but 5W40 and 10W30 are allowed. How does a 5w30 that is d1g2 certified stack up to A5? And would an RP filter work?

114k miles. Truck maintained meticulously. Daily driver. Not driven hard. I don't tow, I don't haul. The other day I get the flashing CEL, and take it to my local trusted ASE certified shop. They diagnose the issue and tell me it is TSB PIP4013C. Time for a new head. Chevy swore they had fixed...
