I have a 2015 Ford Fiesta ST with about 85k on it and change the oil today with Mobil 1 AFE 0w30 and a MC FL400s. I am wondering if I can push out the oil changes longer since I commute 100miles round trip each day. I have been doing 5k OCI and have owned the car since it had 60k on it. I am...

I bought my Ford Fiesta at the beginning of the year since I needed something to fit a car seat. I bought it at 60k and it currently has 90k on it since I commute 100 miles a day for work. I have replaced spark plugs, battery, all fluids, and brakes. My question is is there anything I should...

I just traded my old 02 mustang gt in for a 2015 fiesta st. For those of you that have them, are they hard on oil? Because It specs for 5w20 which I would think is very light for a 1.6 turbo gdi Would you guys suggest a jump to 5w30? My driving is moderately aggressive and I commute 100 miles...

My car was running good before i checked all the condition of all my plugs. After everything was put back the idle is stuck at 2k rpm and hangs real bad between shifts. I am getting a p1506 idle overspeed enginelight too. I used brake cleaner to try to track down a vacuum leak witb no luck. I...

About a year and a half ago I bought the mustang for a daily driver. It was lowered from the previous owner without a bump steer kit or caster camber plates. So it handles ok but eats tires and I want to goto the stock height springs, but cannot find a set new for the rear end. Moog 8594 is for...

I have a leaking rear diff that leaks in the bottom left corner no matter what I have tried. I used a paper gasket with alitttle bit of ultra black rtv to hold it in place. Then it started to leak In a couple of months. Then picked up a felpro gasket that I followed the instructions on not using...

I have a 2002 mustang gt with 137k on it with the tr3650 trans. The transmissions shifts well and the car has a clutch with about 5k on it now. It's just that I have tried pennzoil synchro mesh and mobile 1 syn atf per some of the mustang I just cannot get this transmission to smooth out some...

When I bought the mustang it had 127k on it and shifted good, but notchy. So I drained the old fluid which looks like it was original. Then added in Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF which is Mercon V compatible on the back. The car shifts alot better, but feels like it could be smoother. What would you...

I recently bought a 2002 mustang gt with 130k on it that is in good shape. But, it Has been neglected a bit maintenance wise. The car has sat for 5 years garaged and I don't think the oil was ever changed since the previous owner had it. I changed out all of the fluids and my first oil fill was...

The car is a 2014 soul 1.6l GDI 4cyl.. I noticed that the oil gets very dark in less than 1000 miles. This car is driven mostly for errands and my wife's 5 mile commute to work. What kind of OCI should I run with full synthetic oil? The manual has upwards of 7k and a severe service of 3750.

Both Redline and Amsoil do not specify a gear oil for my car. I have a 2012 Chevy Sonic with a 1.4L Turbo and 6spd manual transmission. The drive train is identical to the Chevy cruze eco if some of you guys can chime in. WHat would you guys recommend?

This is the same drive train as the cruze eco with the 6speed manual transmission. I am wondering if some of you guys with either car can chime in? Are these cars very hard on oil? Should I run flat 5k OCI with 5w30 syn dexos 1, or follow OLM? Also I live in a very hot climate in the south...

I have used Lubegard PLatinum with great results in my 06 Chevy cobalt which recently had a flush with Valvoline Maxlife Dexron. I have a 14 Kia Soul that I would like to add lubegard to.

After bearing with the nasty manual transmission on my 2012 forte, my wife and I decided to trade it on new Kia Soul Base. What is the common experience with newer GDI or Hyundai GDI engines? This is my wife's car so it will mostly see short trip city driving. Should I go with a severe service...

I have a 2012 Kia Forte 6spd with 38k on it now. The owners manual says the transmission holds 2 quarts of fluid. But, on Kiatechinfo.com I am able to access the actual service manual the dealership uses to repair the car. On kiatechinfo.com it says to fill the transmission until it starts...

I currently drive a 2012 Kia forte with 32k on the clock. I currently have MT85 in for the last few weeks. It felt great at first, but now it's starting to grind slightly going into first at a stop, shifting in reverse, and into second. This mostly happens when its hot outside, (I live near...

If I was to purchase a 60k to 80k tire be a moot point because of the effects of Phoenix, AZ weather? The car is a 2012 Kia forte running the stock 195/65/15 size. The OEM Nexen CP662 tires have maybe another 15k left. Do you think its worth it to get a higher mileage rated tire even though dry...

From my last MTF change I had 1 full qt of Castrol Syntorq 75w85 left. Since it takes 2 minutes to change the mtf on my KIa I purchased a drain plug crush washer and 1 Qt of Pennzoil Synchromesh. I have about 400 miles on this mixture and it feels great. The synchro action between shifts is...

Is there any harm in mixing the 2? After much research and thinking about my experience with Amsoil MTG in my 2012 Kia forte I think I may go with this mix. My car calls for 2qts of 75w85 Genuine Hyundai GL4. So I was wondering if I mixed 1 Qt of each if it would be ok. I read a couple posts...

I know I have beaten to death questions about my 2012 Kia Forte's 6spd notchy trans.. My car currently specs for GL4 75w85.. After many searches here and in other forums it seems that moving to a dedicated synchromesh MTF is a good idea. I have read threads in mitsubishi, subaru, hyundai, and...
