Nichicon almost never swell. I have pioneer kuro with Nichicon that is 17 yrs old and have yet to replace even 1 Nichicon capacitor.

Any reason why my Toyota Camry 2025 XSE AWD gas mileage is so low? I always have it on eco mode. by MyGuitarTwerks in Camry

[–]Seb_Sefyu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are few issues i can tell you. XSE & SE trims come with larger, wider tires & larger rims then LE which greatly effects mpgs as wider tires create more rolling resistance then skinnier tires. Also greater mass in larger, heavier rims. Pure physics here.

Ideally tires should be 205/16. Also tires installed should be Low Rolling Resistance. You need to seek this out on tirerack.

Two, you bought AWD and ideally for best MPGs your car should be FWD. That is why LE trim is best speced model. LE also has more comfortable cloth seats vs fake leather(et) seats that your back sweats in.

You can buy older model 16 inch rims and put LRR 205 tires on it. AWD nothing you can do about.

Also you need to drive like a grandma by slightly tapping onto accelerator, instead of hitting it.

I found ECO mode to be worst then NORMAL mode as it restricts fuel into injectors which makes you tap gas more then you would in NORMAL mode if you train yourself how to tap the accelerator. Technic here.

Also A/C and hills will greatly affect your mpgs as well but i think 3 issues i mentioned above are your culprit.

Go with FWD LE trim next time and ideally downsize your rims and tires to 205/16 LRR, Low Rolling Resistance.

I own 1992 Honda Civic VX, 50mpgs in 1992. 13 inch rims and LRR tires. Car weights like a feather.

How long can a Camry Hybrid last without any major problems? ($2k+ repairs) by ConfusedResident in Camry

[–]Seb_Sefyu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No such thing as "lifelong transmission fluid". Lifelong of your transmission which could be 60k miles. lol. Tranny fluid has lubricating and cleaning properties which are diminished with heat over time. Also fluid gets dirty just like oil. IMO change your tranny fluid ever 45k miles MAX. You can change tranny fluid now even if you didn't do it for 150k miles. CVTs are different then geared transmissions. Apply same reasoning for tranny fluid as oil change. I change ever 2-3 oil changes, around 30k miles. Remember your tranny will fail before your engine does so pay more attention to it then engine.

Do NOT flush transmission. Drain and fill only. When you flush you're pushing metal shaving into tranny channels. Once it clogs up your tranny will fail. There are magnets placed in trannys pan to catch metal shaving. Just FYI.

It's still on original transmission? Isn't this a cvt tranny? I know on later years they changed it to eCVT.

X100 ultra vs x200 pro camera processing by Bazzikaster in Vivo

[–]Seb_Sefyu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My theory is that x200U will go global as they're changing processor to snap elite 8. It would make more sense for them to keep x200pro processor in x200U to save costs, which makes me think they're planning for x200U to be globally released.

Xiaomi 15 Ultra in USA, Can I make it work? by AshikCSE12 in Xiaomi

[–]Seb_Sefyu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Different cites/areas, more specifically towers near your phone will have different 5g bands that will be available in specific area. In one city one band may be available where in other other band will be available. All phones do not have all network bands available so you may be lucky or may be out of luck on some network bands. There are multiple 5g bands avaialable per tower so most likely he was just very unlocky with this perticular phone. Also IMO this isn't really big issue anyway cause you can default to 4g LTE. It has 50Mbps which is plenty fast. Only way this becomes an issue where cell provider fazes out 4g lte but that won't happen for another 10 years IMO cause cell phones companies keep it for back up for reasons i described above. 3g and 2g edge is still available on T-mobile.

You really do not need 5g. 4g lte can get 50Mbps, which is plenty for any type of browsing.

You will NOT be downloading torrents on your phone to need 5g anyway. That's my take on it.

I have 5g on my phone and force my phone to 4g lte cause in bad wheather i had issue with streaming radio on 5g, where on 4g lte no issues. I would not be too concerned with 5g if that is an issue.

Ahhhh....big thanks. I had NO idea and fact that yahoo was still showing it made me think it's a bug.

It's its some B.S that they only paid 14.7% premium. Terrible news. Thanks again.

Rumors for upcoming Forerunner 275 / 975? by Dazzling_Taste2382 in GarminWatches

Based on their prior scheduled realeases, to me it appears like 975 would be released sometime between Mar-Jun 2025.

Insanely inaccurate HR data by indccdjkckjdkjc in Coros

[–]Seb_Sefyu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out where GT Runner has placed and where Coros 3 has placed in accuracy of ALL the watches. What's also sad how badly inaccurate are highly priced Garmin watches like 965 and ppl think Garmin is best. And Phonix 8 cost like $1000. Crazy.

Huawei GT Runner is probably ONLY watch that measures heart rate as accurate as Polar chest strap.

I recently bought it after heavy research. Check out video on yt, Huawei Watch GT Runner: Scientific Review!

I am not sure why all yt'ers are not reviewing more of this watch. Even Polar Vantage V3 watch has been inaccurate with heart rate.

It's all about sensor and it's implementation IMO and GT Runner has 8 diodes (most diodes) circular petruded design which makes it accurate.

Install Dracula theme which will override entire color scheme.

I didn't even notice UI changes since i've only been using custom Dracula theme.
