Off of a 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe (2.4L), 48,000 miles on it. 4,000 mile OCI using Napa 5W-30 synthetic. Back in used another OEM and Supertech 5W-30 synthetic. Filter looked good. Second oil change since he got vehicle at 40,000 miles.

New 2024 Mazda CX-5. 2400 miles. A little weirded out that the manual says 4.8 quarts with new filter and I put in a full 5 quarts and only half way up dip stick. Evidently, that’s normal. Still odd. Never had that before. Filter looks good.

Hi Everyone, My sons 2014 Kia Rio needs to last another year or so (burns oil and just getting a bit old.) He needs new tires. I was in Mavis getting an alignment (he hit a curb....) and they offered me (4) Blackhawk Street-H HH01 BK XL for around $89. They also gave me a military discount on...

Hi all. My dad has a 2015 Audi Q5 2.0 Turbo. Is there a reasonable scanner out there ($50 or so) for this type of vehicle?

https://nj.com/news/2022/09/do-you-save-your-oil-change-receipts-a-hyundai-owner-didnt-and-now-shes-fighting-over-a-warranty.html The picture of sludge she talks about makes me wonder. The car is in her driveway, why not take it to someone and have the valve cover removed and take a look?

Did the first oil change on the, new to us, Tucson with 34,800 miles on it. All previous oil changes done at dealership. Drain bolt head was all kinds of rounded and gouged and on TIGHT. Like, OMG tight. Then, planned to change out drain plug gasket. Yeah, no. Practically welded on there. Also...

Hi all, So, just took my wife’s, new to us, 2019 Hyundai Tucson in for a recall (knock sensor logic.). Apparently, they are now putting in 5W-30 in their cars for oil changes. Shifted from 5W-20. There is a bulletin from Hyundai saying “make it so.” Interesting anyway.

HI all, I'm building an arcade cabinet (bar top) for our upstairs loft and have a question. The switched power socket is common (I have a few already) but there is a round bezel on it as can be seen in the photo. I am not having any luck sourcing that. Since I bought a flat pack cabinet, the...

HI all, not sure if this is the appropriate place or not to ask. Looking to buy a bulk pack of OEM Hyundai filters. Cheaper than dealer pricing anyway. There used to be an actual dealership selling them on eBay at one time, but I can't find it anymore. Anyone have a source they use? Thanks.

HI all, new to me vehicle for the wife. Got a good deal (still paid to much, but with current market...) Never had an AWD before. Vehicle has been fully serviced by dealer it's whole life, but don't think the transmission or Diff/Xfer cases have been done. Manual calls for 75W85 GL-5 gear oil...

H all, So, my company/fleet vehicle is a 2018 Ford Fusion 1.5. Once in a while, I get the "wrench" light on my dashboard. Usually, when I turn car off and back on, it goes away. Sometimes it comes on two or three days in a row, sometimes maybe once a week or once a month. Very erratic. I have...

Morning all. 2014 KIA Rio, 116,000 miles. Synthetic oil change (whatever brand is on sale in both 5W-20 and 5W-30.) 5,000 mile OCI. Never had any issues until last oil change. Noticed consumption. No leaks. Only thing I can think of is PCV valve? I bought an OEM and will put it on when it...

Hi all, Replaced all the struts and shocks on the Santa Fe. Including linkages front and back. Fairly easy job. While I had everything off, went ahead and did the serpentine belt. Holy smokes. PSA-OMG that’s was a pain in the you know what. Took me a couple hours and FINALLY got it. just...

Hi all, My son came home and said the car is shaking. Check engine light is on. Started car and the engines about to jump off the mounts. I figured one of the cylinders are not firing or the crankshaft position sensor died. Pulled code and sure enough, cylinder 3. Swapped coil wiht number 2 and...

Hi all, My wifes Santa Fe has these 3 lights that periodically come on. Then, it goes away and a few days later comes on again. Not sure what to do about it? Any ideas if these three lights are related? Here is a picture: Thank you for any help or recommendations.

Hi all. Anyone know the location of the neutral safety switch on a 2014 KIA Rio LX? Automatic transmission. Amazingly, I can't find anything in internet or YouTube. Car will only start In neutral, so pretty sure that's it. I am also going to replace the crankshaft position sensor. Thanks...

Hi all. Couldn't get it started today. Been having start problems a little while now. Took it apart. Cleaned carburetor, changed little air filter piece, changed fuel Filter in tank. New spark plug too. It's just spinning. Not even trying to start. Checked on/off switch. It is good. Only thing...
