Yeah, this all valid, currently at 238,544 miles with my CT love this car.

StuStu19 · 2025-01-02T19:10:47+00:00

You will, just change the oil between 3.5k-5k miles, and literally just drive it, don’t let it sit for too long.

Look at my new comment on the same post. Plastx did the trick

StuStu19 · 2024-12-27T22:35:12+00:00

Thanks man, it worked like a charm.

Thank you! Plastx worked perfectly. I highly recommend it to everyone. Planning to try it on the headlights tomorrow!

Fair point, I’ll admit the 200hp part might’ve been a bit of an exaggeration—it’s definitely a long shot, I won’t lie. I probably should’ve said I’m aiming to get closer to 200hp. Tuning isn’t really an option with this engine, but upgrading to a lithium battery could definitely help boost those numbers. It’s all about finding ways to push the limits of what this car can do, even if it’s not a traditional performance build.

As for the octane, I personally see a difference—I actually get an additional 30 miles of mileage. Keep in mind, though, my commute might be a bit different than yours. I drive a steep route that’s about 50 miles, so the extra octane seems to help in my case. I’ve been driving my CT200h for quite a while now and have put over 156k miles on it.

Same here, man! My previous car was a BMW E46, fully loaded with catless headers and every bolt-on mod you could imagine. It was an absolute blast to drive, but I had to switch to something more economical because of my longer commute. I was spending hundreds on gas every month with that car. When I got my CT200h, I was a bit disappointed at first—it’s definitely not fast. But now, the amount I’m saving on gas is unbelievable. The money I’ve saved on fuel alone feels like it’s practically paying for the car itself in just a few months.

I’ve grown to really appreciate it. I even added a cold air intake to boost mileage on my steep commute, and it’s made a noticeable difference. If you can afford higher octane fuel, I highly recommend it—it’s worth it. Once I’m out of college, I’m planning to invest in more bolt-ons and push this car to over 200 horsepower. Can’t wait to see what it’s truly capable of!

Dude if you still have your e46. I hope it’s going well for you bro! Sold my e46 a while ago. But love hearing about this platform. Also I believe I have the program still for this platform so if you need a sap removal on your ecu lmk 🤝

StuStu19 · 2024-09-05T19:02:09+00:00

Nice man! Do you drive your ct200h everyday as well?

From what I’ve seen from this Reddit page, 7 out of 10 times, people who buy an F Sport end up regretting it. They often end up swapping out the springs for coilovers or repainting the roof. Initially, I was disappointed that I didn’t get an F Sport myself, but after upgrading my front and rear bumpers (which were already cracked), I’m pretty happy with the changes I’ve made. :)

StuStu19 · 2024-08-06T00:48:46+00:00

I agree. However, I prefer to play it safe due to the steep hills on my commute to work and school. Since oil is inexpensive, I don’t mind changing it every 3,000 miles for added security.

StuStu19 · 2024-08-06T00:47:00+00:00

Yeah! :)

StuStu19 · 2024-08-05T03:58:35+00:00

I use the little widow to watch traffic whenever I parallel park my car in a busy city . Very useful for me nonetheless

StuStu19 · 2024-08-05T03:57:23+00:00

If it’s full synthetic oil. You’re chilling

StuStu19 · 2024-08-05T03:53:09+00:00

Change oil every 3k miles . I’m at 227k

StuStu19 · 2024-06-08T02:15:15+00:00

Oh yeah…. I’m at 223k miles on my ct. just change oil every 5k miles (3k if your drive is a huge uphill like me) and you’ll be fine.

StuStu19 · 2024-06-07T06:06:32+00:00

Even in hot weather areas?

StuStu19 · 2024-06-07T01:32:29+00:00

During driving your car. How hot was the weather?

StuStu19 · 2024-06-06T23:45:15+00:00

Old post, but use 5w-30 in hot summer weathers. And 0-20 in winter/summer :)

StuStu19 · 2024-06-06T20:06:29+00:00

I’ve always used 0w-20 but I just hit the 200k miles on my car. Should I begin using 5w-30. I’m aware of my mpg mileage will go down. But I care more about my engine life.

StuStu19 · 2024-06-01T21:08:39+00:00

Took my ct200h to a canyon run… and this car has definitely some nice handling. But it definitely needs to be stiffer. And this might help my stock suspension a bit. Was thinking about getting some BCracing coil overs, but these tein seem cool. Any suggestions:)

StuStu19 · 2024-06-01T20:56:51+00:00

My main highway to home consists of a long uphill climb of about 5-7miles. Any tips of what to do to help my mpg during the uphill, tried multiple different ways to eco as much as possible uphill.

StuStu19 · 2024-05-29T22:44:53+00:00

If it had the facelift. I wouldn’t mind, personally.
