| can you explain yourselfWhy did you choose a lower value? that's what the manual recommends, right? since you're not in Europe. It actually sounds like your car isn't very picky about oil. You could probably just use whatever is cheaper. when hot, yes. at 40°C it cannot be too thin. There are many great articles about oil on the internet. It's a bit much to cover here. | |||||
| Help deciding on new car | 8Relevance | 3 years ago | marilynmcbride@yahoo.com | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I am nearly 80 and am buying a new car which I hope will last so that my 12-year-old granddaughter will be able to safely use it in about 4 years. I have driven Priuses without incident of problems since shortly after they first came out. My last one, a 2015 Prius, is still going strong with no repairs or problems with about 140,000 miles on it. However, I now live in CO and the Prius’s low profile is a problem over rough roads and snow. I have always felt the sight lines in the Prius were bad for the driver - and the Prius 2023 sight lines are even worse. I’m looking at a Hyundai hybrid and plug-in hybrid as it came up as a safe and reliable car in my Consumer Reports search and my kids are pushing the plug in, but I’m uncertain. I want a safe, reliable vehicle. What are your thoughts, Scotty? | |||||
| Answer to: How about lease cars? | 8Relevance | 3 years ago | Dan | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Leasing a Dodge Charger, base model, starts at about $2,000 at signing and $500 for 3 years term - so you'll be paying $20,000 to use a car for 3 years and will be left with NOTHING at the end. Leasing is for people who don't have money but wanna appear as if they do. Unless you get a deal, you're burning money. When I get tired of my car, I just sell and go out and buy one (last time I've got 2) cash. No need to fund someone else's profits. No need to spread misconceptions, It doesn't. you're welcome to see "Member Rides", most of us don't drive 20 year old Matrixes. I had "cool" cars, I still have my last one in my profile picture, but ehh it gets old fast. SMG, Crap 5 speed, some DCT - how's that better than solid auto? unless you're 16. T-GDi 230hp, T5 250hp, Hybrid 300hp - who cares? watcha trynna do? And trust me, Scotty, I, many more are happy that people want to buy garbage. I enjoyed charging thousands for dual clutch assemblies on your slush box, I loved charing ±$2,000 to glue back plastic magnet holders to plastic shift forks in Evos. People who want to drive garbage to appear cool make for a large chuck of mechanics profits. If you wanna drive crap cars, Pay for someone else's car, AND Fund us - Go for it! would be welcome change nah for childish excitement over screens and lack of understanding of mechanics - There are plenty enough of YouTubers doing that crap. You're welcome to go watch them. | |||||
| Answer to: Concern: Mechanics Used 5.1 Brake Fluid in my Dot3 ABS Car. | 8Relevance | 3 years ago | MountainManJoe | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Except that Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards defines DOT 5.1 as containing "less than 70% silicone" so there could still be some, which would make it perform worse with ABS. Brake fluids that are compatible with ABS (which requires a certain viscosity profile -- 750 mm2/s viscosity at −40 °C (−40 °F) requirement of ISO 4925 class 6) indicate it on the bottle with appropriate wording or suffixes like "ESP" etc. Seems like the standards regulation is pretty loose. | |||||

| Answer to: Kia, Kia, Kia | 8Relevance | 3 years ago | Dan | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hi, Kaizen 😊 Yes, I do have 3 KIAs – I have the Niro crossover hybrid corporate fleet vehicle, and I own another 2 Kia Stonic compact Crossovers I’ve bought brand new. Most members and mods here recommend Toyota Me too, in a recent answer to a question (here) I’ve noted that “to a person who does not understand cars and won't work on his car, I'd only recommend a Toyota, Honda or Mazda - even if they're not my preference and I buy a different kind of cars.” and that is the case as my signature notes what cars I have, and that they’re not recommendations. Since I don’t drive much and work on my own cars, I do buy cars from brands that I wouldn’t necessarily recommend (I’ve had Renaults, Hyundais, Fords, Volvos, what not). I did have a Corolla MMT until very recently, it was a mechanically solid car and I loved it but it didn’t fit my needs and that automated transmission was really what made me get rid of it. Hyundai-Kia makes completely different cars and powertrains for the “US area” and “General area”, I buy European market cars and they’re pretty much solid. Unlike whatever T-GDi, GDi, DCT, iVT crap they sell in the US – there’s not much that’s wrong with an MPi engine and a conventional automatic transmission on cars made during the last decade. I mean sure, it's not a Toyota and not a Honda - but eh to me the MPi+AT is good enough by a longshot. I mean sure, I would NOT buy a North American Sportage that's the price of a Japanese car but comes some crappy 1.6 T-GDi or a 2.5L GDi with whatever DCT or overly complicated AT with 2-4 too many gears, but a European 2.0 MPi with the same 6 speed conventional automatic that has been around for 15 years and for significancy cheaper than competition – a somewhat different story. Sure, so first of all, this is a European Kia model designed in Germany (and has got awards for it's design) and has nothing to do with any car sold by Hyundai-Kia in the US (with the exception of sharing only the frame with the latest generation Kia Soul - and that's a good thing, it's an IIHS Safety Pick performing excellently in all categories) When choosing the Stonic I looked at all cars, of all sizes, of all prices with the goal of finding a comfortable, safe car, that can go over 80 mph on the highway, can tow at least 1,500lbs, get over 40 mpg on a bad day, feel nimble and agile in the city, survive harsh traffic and bad road conditions. After looking at many cars (from economy cars like the Yaris to upmarket SUVs like the RAV4 the XC40), the Stonic just stood out, It’s the exact same size as a Corolla hatchback, offers better safety, better fuel economy, is of an SUV form, and is only HALF the price. (pre-tax just $13.5k!) I really liked to concept, "The 2nd gen Hyundai i20 stretched to the size of a Corolla hatchback but style it like a Crossover" - It's pretty much the only small crossover that can go over rough roads, gets economy that good, handles incredibly good, and still has a port-injected 4 cylinder engine (with oil sprayer nozzles) and a conventional automatic transmission without overly complex emissions garbage (only VVT, variable length intake, cats, and an aggressive torque convector clutch profile) - but what has really differentiated it from the rest was pure usability and mechanical simplicity. In addition to being conceptually a good car, It's surprisingly refined the styling and interior and "Sport" powertrain (the engine is not very powerful but the gearbox is very aware of the car it's pulling and it downshifts and upshifts about as quicky as a dual clutch keeping the engine in an RPM range where it has enough power so it really doesn't feel like a 1.4L at all) and also "Augmented Driving" is a big bonus, I love how steering is lightest when pointing to the center of the lane, how there's the option to turn on self steering, how it uses the radar to adjust the rate of my braking and plenty of other stuff that makes this car great to live with. Also generally, I've owned cars with a very similar powertrain, they've very popular here in the commercial space (due to KIAs unlimited millage warranty although this is a new model I'm seeing some with 150k - some as delicars and almost all leasing and car rent companies use them, Hertz, Budget, EuroCar, everyone), the Sedan version with the exact same powertrain is used by the police and I've seen those also with well over 150k miles, the hatchback version (although with a different powertrain) was actually adopted by the military as the car of mid-higher ranking officers, and talking to friends of mine who own medium-big car repair businesses they're all agree with me on it being "excellent car". I can write a full post about it, but overall - All competitions 30%-50% and would require me to make serious sacrifices (like lack of towing ability or ground clearance) I do not have to make with the Stonic. The Niro was chosen out of an option list, as far as what corporate cars are available, and it’s pretty good. Here too I can really go in-depth about it, here's a bit on it: how are they holding up this far I’ve previously owned a Hyundai Accent 1.4 MPi, and it was a very good car – kept it until about 112k miles and only sold it because It didn’t age as gracefully and after many years of ownership I was fed up with it. The only repairs I had to reform not under warranty in about 7 years of ownership were one single coil and some plastic bit in the power steering. The Kia Niro, the world's most efficient hybrid, is currently at 97.3k miles, and it is decently reliable and just incredibly efficient. When it was new, I’d get over 60mpg sometimes even over 65mpg – nowadays it’s always saying above 55 mpg. This GDi+DCT car did undergo some repairs, defective DCT clutch, the steering was repaired under warranty (MDPS small bearing, the most common fault on a Kia), and it did need carbon cleaning as that caused some random codes. The Stonics are pretty good, the only issue is that one had warning lights and it was the ABS electronic computer module – other then that, so far so good. I'm planning to phase them out around 90k-100k miles at most, looking at the new Suzuki S-Cross and the new Prius I really have to hold my self to even get to that point. Also knowing the weak points of the powertrain, I am replacing the engine oil frequently using the updates viscosity of 0W-30 every 4.6k and will replace the tranny fluid each 12.5k-18.75k – this way nothing is likely to wear. Eh not much, I know that suspension systems on these are on the week side (it's very simple but struts, springs, etc. wear) and I’m planning to preemptively inspect and replace most of the bushings around 40-50k miles. Also I agree with Scotty, this applies to MPi+AT Kias. | |||||

| You shouldn't post your email online where it's going to be harvested by hundreds of scam bots. We will never email you. It would be a good idea to remove it from your username to protect yourself too ("My profile" menu). You are overthinking a bit. I think your manual explained it pretty well ... Your car will run fine on regular. If you can't live without those few extra horsepower, then put in the premium. That's the only difference. | |||||
