my $.02: I am primarily concerned about ensuring that the oil stays in grade throughout the OCI so I change the oil about every 100 hours of engine running time. For me that is about 2500 miles of driving, or about 9 months. In my climate much of that 9 months will be cold weather (although...

Thank you all. I used 5-20 for the first 10 years but switched to 5w-30 for the last 4. I bought it new. It has always had a Napa Gold filter every 3-4k miles, sometimes that is every other oil change. I have always just poured 4.25 in without paying close attention to where that landed on...

I have a 2009 Elantra with 55k miles that has been making top end noise for years. It has always seemed to be a clattery engine. I noticed in the manual that inspecting the valve adjustment was recommended at 60k so I thought I would bring it to a shop to have it checked out. They kept it...

Just the solenoids.

I had it done (actually the the tsb that replaced it) and it worked great. Check f150forum.com in the 2015-2020 section for all you need to know.

Definitely less than 5k if you can, especially for cold months.

My 2009 has 50k miles and sounds like rocks in a tin can. I am tempted to try the job. I think a special tool is required but not a lot of talent.

Is this the same non-turbo that they used in the Elantra in 2009? Does the valve train rattle at all?

Somewhere along the way someone (either the fellow in the video or a commenter on YouTube or here) mentioned that the oil spec (presumably Ford's) might be critical to keeping the oil pump belt from dissolving. That was probably just wild speculation, that is, there would have to be huge...

The second (and final) UOA for my truck is posted here. I had one done a year and a half ago and noticed that the viscosity had dropped more than I expected for such a short interval. This interval is even shorter, 2000 miles over 8 months. This is all short trips and cold starts in Alaska...

Amsoil EA. Will switch to Fram when these run out.

I only short trips with a never-warm engine. I change about every 100 hours. 2.7 ecoboost.

2499 at Sportsman's (not saying that is a bargain...) Thanks for the confidence Cujet-

I like the time tested-ness of the eu2200 and the redundancy of having two, however, don't want to have to string two (90 lbs) together to get the power I am looking for. Understand there are cheaper options but willing to pay for piece of mind, if this Honda package seems to provide that.

I am considering an EU3200i generator. I can't find anything on the new engine Honda put in it and am wondering what else is new for this generator model; the unknowns makes me hesitant to purchase. Does anyone know if the inverter, injectors etc. has been in use on other models? Any insight...

Love my Bowflex C6. Something like $800 when on sale. Use your own tablet to provide whatever video/apps you want wile you ride. Or, if you are like me just watch the big screen in the room. I didn't want to buy a tablet that I could not detach from the bike (the Peloton concept). For the cost...

I think I saw a write up on Elantra batteries from these years (yours?) mentioning this discrepancy but it was hard not to believe the NAPA website declaring that it should be a 121R for my car, nor did I have the foresight to bring the OEM battery with me when I picked up the new one to verify...

I'll stick this one in and not give it any more head space. It seems like it is as close to the size of the battery tray/original battery as I am going to find in an East Penn-made unit. The original had 550 CCA, as does this one. I believe it is the same in all but a few dimensions and those...

Hello, I am replacing the OEM battery in my 2009 Hyundai Elantra, a 121R. (13 Alaskan winters of service.) I bought a NAPA Legend on sale today "guaranteed to fit" my Elantra. The OEM battery is 8 7/8 wide, 6 1/2 deep and 8 inches tall to the top of the plastic case (8 3/4 to the top of the...

How about Mobil 1 ESP 5w-30?
