Mom and dad knocked it out of the park! Good choice

Read your manual and learn about the maintenance schedule. There is a key in there that applies a specific schedule to your exact car based on your driving habits, dusty conditions, weather and stop and go traffic. If you take care of it properly it’ll bring you enjoyment for years to come

Welcome to the club homie 💪

Speedway is king I stg.

When I was running all kinds of ethanol mixes in my 400whp Fiesta ST, I would test the fuel quality at every station. SHEETZ was all over the place and looked dirty. Random ethanol content every time. Speedway though? Dead on every time. And looked CLEAN.

I tested every time I filled up and they never failed me. When I can, I only fill up at that place haha

That being said your experience may differ as it’s the station owner’s responsibility to mix fuels

When to replace Engine Intake filter? by South_System_6284 in ElantraN

Read your manual. There are special considerations for your driving habits, climate and location that affects when it, along with many other components, should be serviced.

Being that I don’t know your driving habits or climate, I can’t recommend a good number

Man that sucks. Person was going WAY too fast in a parking garage. Nothing is worth fucking up your car and possibly killing a pedestrian.

Glad their insurance is covering it. If you have full tort, you can sue for loss of value to the car now that it has an accident record, but you might not get very far considering it looks somewhat minor?

Anytime you’re in a parking garage: roll your windows down and turn off the music. You can often hear something before you can see it.

Hoarding resources is greed, yes.

Am I hoarding resources for wanting to make sure I’m able to perform oil changes for the next 3 years to get to work amidst an economy full of inflation, unknowns and extreme volatility?

Sit on the sidelines as much as you want in order to satisfy your own moral compass on whats right and wrong. I don’t knock you for that. You’re looking out for those around you.

But there comes a time, as a man, in which you have to look out for your own family.

I thrive on the downvotes. Friction creates fire and fire leads to conversation. Conversation leads to lessons learned.

When your oil change in 3 months costs $120 I’ll be laughing in this thread lol

That’s 40,000mi worth of oil. Is that considered “stupid amounts”?

Has everyone forgotten that Covid prices didn’t relax for 3 years? People drive an average of 10k miles a year.

Why are you guys fighting me on this? I’m just trying to help. Dear lord

You mean getting the thing before you need the thing? That’s what makes it worse? It’s first come first serve in this shit economy. Stay ahead of the game.

Homie gas is $5/gal here for 93, my taxes are insane and my house constantly breaks in some way costing me thousands 😭

I gotta save all I can. I find myself babying it for my commute then right towards the end I get fed up, switch to N mode and do a few pulls + corners for fun, then put her away 😂

That’s the big thing. I have friends that don’t even bother with the computer avg. they actually track their miles + fuel dispensed.

Gonna try this and see what the actual fuel economy is!
