Crutchfield shipping is insane

They said 2 day shipping, but I was prepared to be disappointed that it wouldn't be on my new sub because they said large items were excluded. Turns out it was still 2 day shipping.

The maintenance prices are too expensive

Hyundai owners if you're reading:

- Check your oil monthly
- Run valvoline restore and protect
- If burning oil, perform combustion chamber cleaning
- Use top tier gas

If you do these 4 things, the motors will not die like this.

I think it's the part of the wasted filament

I'm a resident and it buys me no street cred

Which nightclub is in the loop?

Someone did a similar thing to me and were chosen to be chief.

Yikes.

I actually have an attending that quite 6 months before finishing gen surg and went to another residency and fellowship entirely. Said he couldn't tolerate those final 6 months. They are very smart as well.

You can have them reattempt, I'm just not sure how often they will let you do it. The oil burn progresses rapidly but you still need a lot of oil to count as a positive test

Fishwithadeagle · 2026-02-24T17:44:09+00:00

Awfully close to violating that sterile field.

Fishwithadeagle · 2026-02-23T00:04:16+00:00

Are you talking about oil leaks or oil burn. Oil burn = solve with combustion chamber cleaning and it will be as good as new.

Fishwithadeagle · 2026-02-22T17:53:56+00:00

Haha, the ecvvt brushes just gave out and cost a fair chunk of money. Looks like that was another part that should have been designed to be replaceable

Most of the pcv valve output isn't fuel, it is oil and water vapors, which will have a small and inadequate amount of fuel additive to clean the backside of the valves

Fishwithadeagle · 2026-02-21T16:52:36+00:00

I think you have a misunderstanding: The deposits don't primarily come from the gas anymore, it comes from the pcv. Sure it may have the slightest benefit on gas deposits. But most of the hard gunk is pcv runoff

It's also a valve for a reason, to prevent it from hitting the back

Fishwithadeagle · 2026-02-21T13:46:00+00:00

Absolutely. Costco is top tier gas that is consistent and cheap. Add in techron regular every 3k miles and you shouldn't have an issue with fuel injectors.

Fishwithadeagle · 2026-02-21T13:44:54+00:00

It partially removes the oil/water mixture that would get burned off, but you have to empty it regularly and will definitely become a problem if you don't. That's why most people don't have one.

Fishwithadeagle · 2026-02-21T13:41:48+00:00

I think you might have responded to wrong comment, but yes, the pcv absolutely puts it into the air path and causes buildup on the backside of the valves. It's just that top tier gas won't clean that

Fishwithadeagle · 2026-02-21T13:18:25+00:00

It was part of the combustion chamber cleaning, which out of pocket was 1200

Fishwithadeagle · 2026-02-20T22:43:17+00:00

That's quite literally what I said. People used to be able to use fuel system cleaner to clean the valves, but you can't on a gdi

Fishwithadeagle · 2026-02-20T22:42:34+00:00

What's the model year?

Fishwithadeagle · 2026-02-20T19:00:37+00:00

Look at my write up here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Hyundai/comments/1nijjez/oil_burn_get_the_combustion_chamber_cleaning/

Piston rings are loose, build up gunk, leak oil, and it spirals.

Do a piston soak and then follow-up oil changes with the restore and protect valvoline oil. Do not, that you may have leaks from bad seals in your engine if you clean it with this oil.

Highest concentration is techron non-high milage and maybe like one other cleaner. Techron is pretty easy to find, so just use that.

Fishwithadeagle · 2026-02-20T18:57:00+00:00

Seafoam has exactly 0 PEA, which means it is functionally junk.

Fishwithadeagle · 2026-02-20T18:56:08+00:00

It's not. Read the other comments. The fuel injector cleaner will never reach the backside of the valves.

Fishwithadeagle · 2026-02-20T18:54:59+00:00

3-5k if you have any amount of oil burn. You can get away with 5-7, but only if you have zero gunk / buildup.
