    Oversized battery Install in 2015 Escape 2.5L

    1200 totally depleted deep cycles right? So after every start you had to charge it back up fully from a dead 0 capacity. Is this what you are saying? Still not impressed. Less than 2 years IF that was the case. I never spoke about RV or boat deep cycle batteries guy. Just said a smaller...

    Oversized battery Install in 2015 Escape 2.5L

    Your starter only draws x amount of amps. Under 200 amps on the very high side. Didn't we cover this? To sum it up, your larger battery, in your mind, cranks your starter faster. That is what you should of said. Or you had a bad connection on the old battery or flaky ground causing your slow...

    So you went from an old dead/weak battery to a new larger battery. Now you saw faster cranking. Impressive......... My flashlight is really dim. I put new batteries in. Now I can see better. I should of put in larger batteries with the SAME voltage as the OEM batteries. Really shine so much...

    Oversized battery Install in 2015 Escape 2.5L

    I see zero mention of any car or truck brand here guy. OEM like battery install as the OP was stating. All you are impressed with is some over sized deep cycle boat battery. WOW, 1200 cycles out of a "deep cycle" battery. Aren't they supposed to do that? LOL Going ONE place a day for a year...

    Battery -- new testing at 12.41 v

    Go to an industrial battery shop. They sell fork lift batteries and big rig batteries. You can get a really good one for your car or truck for cheap. Last twice as long as Autozone or wallymart.

    Any reason to not switch to AGM?

    Main reason NOT to switch to AGM is your vehicle might of not came out factory with one. All these new battery chemistries require different charging algorithms to charge properly and not boil the electrolyte out. Other than that I love the fact the terminals don't corrode from leaking acid...

    Oversized battery Install in 2015 Escape 2.5L

    You are missing the entire point of batteries. Most modern cars and trucks require only like lets call it 200 max amps to start the engine. That 200 amp guesstimate is on the very high side. More like 80 to 120 amps. So when a person"thinks" he needs a 1,000 CCA battery to start his Honda...

    Oversized battery Install in 2015 Escape 2.5L

    Show us the proof. Larger batteries have more plates. More plates equates to more parts count inside. More parts count equates to earlier failures. Much easier for the plates to short out and leave you stranded. Buy the OEM size and never lose sleep over it.

    Hyundai 2.4l excessive oil consumption

    Oh no, you are all wrong Bill7. You are supposed to change these new oils at 20,000 miles now. You don't change it when it's dirty anymore LOL. Just keep pouring on the miles and never worry about it. All these stories like I've been doing this for 40 years and my engine is still brand new per...

    Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions ceramic wax

    And you touched the panel prior to wiping off right? All 3 of yours was just a thin liquid with no sticky mess feeling? I even applied in the garage and temp was around 80F. Got the last bottle off the shelf at Chinamart. Wallys sells a lot of this glue. So they weren't sitting on the shelf...

    Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions ceramic wax

    Good to hear. Agreed. Anything Turtle is easy on the wallet and a quality product. Amen to that. The old Super Hard Shell was some tough stuff. Most likely because it's a spray and easy to apply. You don't see any new real paste waxes that take elbow grease any more. Those don't sell in lazy...

    Advice and question on possible non-oil change scam.

    Okay I'll bite. 6,000 mile oil dumps is still way too long. I don't care if you are using Rolls Royce Jet Turbine Aviation grade oil. Especially in these new GDI carbon chugger engines LOL.
