Corolla will be built in Mexico(NEWS) That is a very sad news for the Woodstock and Cambridge plant in Ontario Canada. I'm wondering, will it affect quality and will we see more and more defect on these cars now that the production will be like many other automaker, somewhere in Mexico...

This is a 2013 Hyundai Elantra 1.8l non-GDI engine with Manual transmission. Car is doing a strange sound on cold start. I mean that it will make this sound only if the car is park for more then 12h or so. In first clip, listen carefully between 0:04 and 0:06 and on second clip between 0:20 and...

I've bought 10 of them to stock up. We'll never see this kind of rebate again on PPPP in Canada.

In my girlfriend 2013 Elantra, we run PP 5W-20 in winter and PP 5W-30 in summer. 8000km oci. No problem so far, no oil consumption too!

3 Years ago, I bought 2 quart of Amsoil compressor oil sae 30/40 for our job air compressor. We use to change the oil once a year. Today I was looking to change oil in this compressor but I had a very bad surprise. Take a look a those pictures! Btw, oil is stored in a room with controlled...

Just like You ChrisD46, I'm going to keep using PP 5W-20 in winter and put PP 5W-30 in summer. Just buyed four 5L Jugs of PP with Pure Plus for 22$ before taxes at Canadian Tire. I feel like engine in my girlfriend Elantra are going to get better wear protection on long term using heavier oil...

If you'd like a good quality 0w-30, You can use Amsoil 0W-30. I've been using it in my 04 Corolla since new and so far so good. I don't know how many km your are doing a year, bet you could also put an Ea oil filter and change it once a year.

My girlfriend just buyed a brand new 2013 Hyundai Elantra. In her owner manual, they recommend adding Hyundai fuel additive every 12,000km, which is rebranded Techron Concentrate Plus. I'm using Amsoil product and I was wondering if I was better using Amsoil P.i which I can get for less then...

Originally Posted By: mrsilv04 What does the owner's manual have to say, about the relationship with oil weight and temperature? That's where I'd start. In the Accent, they said to use 5w-20 5w-30 or 10w-30, same thing for the Elantra. But I had good result with 0-w20 in cold winter months. I...
