    Can anyone think of any way in which E15 could improve fuel economy?

    Looks nice, I like the wheels. But these cars just don't look right without exhaust pipes under the bumper.

    My Sonata Failed Inspection

    The temperature code could affect emissions. The second code is evap vent valve solenoid. The third one TCC solenoid should not fail you, but probably means you are getting less fuel mileage.

    2017 Mazda CX-5 HPL No- VII 10w20 Euro

    Thanks. I replaced the euro 10w20 no V-II with pcmo no V-II 5w-30. Perhaps the slightly higher viscosity oil will heat up faster? And help boil fuel off? I do think the no V-II oils are a good choice for DI engines, if your climate is not too cold.

    2017 Mazda CX-5 HPL No- VII 10w20 Euro

    None of the wear metals worry me at all. I'm wondering if i should go back to a less expensive oil and change more often as i was before. This report makes me consider going back to 0w-40 and change every 2-3k.

    2017 Mazda CX-5 HPL No- VII 10w20 Euro

    Oil run for 13 months, 6000 miles. Ran from Jan 30th 23 to April 27 of 24. The first run in 2018 was M1 0w-30 after a typical short trip. My wife was driving about 6-7 miles each way to work. The oil level was rising on the stick. She no longer does short trips, as she works from home now...

    People that shouldn't be driving

    Another thing I see, are people using turn lanes from the incorrect direction. Some turn lanes are for either direction, some are not, and they pull into that turn lane and act like you are in error for being in their way.
