    Should I do a drain and fill?

    2012 Hyundai Genesis, 125,xxx miles. I don’t think it’s had any transmission work done to it, but I’ll dig into that. Transmission has started rough shift, occasional rev before shifting. Been doing it a few weeks Hoping a drain and fill (not a flush) might help.

    Changed oil but not filter

    Hello all, got a quick question. Went to change my oil on Saturday. I drained it and then went to change the filter. The cap on the (cartridge) filter was way too tight.
