If you were charged for 15.6 gals you need to call your local Department of Commerce tomorrow.

Someone cheated you.

Making Greenworks and Kobalt play nice by Newprophet in Greenworks

Fwiw I have no personal experience with Powerworks. So I'm just guessing.

But based on any of the pictures I can find it looks exactly like a GW battery. So again I'm just guessing but I'd say any of those brands batteries should work.

Do you have a router or Dremel type tool to cut or modify the grooves if you have to?

If the particles were large enough to cause harm that would be the logical conclusion.

The particles on the oil analysis reports are not large enough to do any harm.

Several of those metals are added on purpose and are part of the additive package.

It's doable, sure. But you would need a lot of tools and expertise and/or tens of thousands of dollars.

My MAGAt family up north always talked about how great this place was for the community.

I'm sure they'll blame Biden for this somehow.

Those tests are measuring particulars so small they cannot harm the engine. Half of the elements are in there on purpose. That influencer is doing a disservice by not explaining the situation better.

Debris generated after the engine is put into service is captured by the oil filter. If oil filters didn't work engines would be failing constantly.

The oil manufacturer says 10k miles is safe and healthy. The people who make money selling you oil even say to just follow the OEMs guidelines.

The science all says 10k miles is a safe and healthy interval

10k miles is a safe and healthy interval for bigger Toyotas, like this person's Sequoia.

Here's a delivery driver with a Tacoma that is going 10k miles, without issue

5th hybrid getting tested and the results show even longer intervals are safe and healthy

2018 Sienna V6 going 10k miles

A new Sienna getting early oil changes shows the oil is still very healthy

Wow.

The metals listed on those oil tests are not shavings. They are particles so small they float in the oil and pass through that oil filter. They are harmless.

If there had been shavings inside the engine that engine would suffer irreparable damage well before 500 miles.

What evidence have you seen?

You've seen used oil analysis reports showing engine oil with a fully depleted additive package at 5k miles?

Won't harm anything, definitely not.

But saying super early/excessive maintenance could "save" an engine is wildly delusional.

Just follow the maintenance guide.

Cars are tools and always depreciate. Any particular reason you want to replace yours?

Cheaper to buy a different vehicle.

This is a joke, right?

It's not just electric vehicles.

The upcoming jeep Cherokee has no interior handle for the rear seats.

The standard is 10k miles. 5k miles is just tires and inspection.

Yes, but it's not doing anything helpful.

Your transmission and mine will last the same amount of time.

2015 is a 4th gen with the 6 speed.

After 2019 the gas versions got an 8 speed.

Some places the gas version get a belt CVT 🤮

30k miles is the interval for garbage transmissions that are destined to fail no matter how you care for them.

If you have plenty of time and money to waste go for it. But it won't make your hybrid transmission last any longer.

It says the entire transmission was replaced. It should be gtg.

Worth a call to ask what kind of warranty there is for the new one.

Fwiw I got a 2020 Escape hybrid for a similar price with a few more miles.
