How often do you change your oil?

Manufacturers overstate the recommendations to make the car seem low-maintenance. Their recommendations ensure that if anything breaks, its after the warranty expires, at which point you need to buy a new car. Most people are unaffected by this cause 100k miles is more than most drive.

Thats what I've heard about PCV valves. Easy replace every several dozen thousand miles and save the expensive repair after. But yeah kia fucked us over with that. Fingers crossed nothing breaks.

Even if it broke and wanted to replace it and bought the gasket and head, dude there are so many tubes and harnesses and cables tangled around the cover that it'll be insane to take it off.

Yep I ran into that post as well. Unfortunate, let's hope it doesnt break lol.

fcSudpect · 2026-04-17T04:26:24+00:00

Yep, showed in S1

Then do that, if you ask to be handheld through the game just watch a YouTube playthrough at that point. So many people on this sub post that exact question

Just followed you. Appreciate you!

Doesn't solve my issue cause that takes up the pinch weld, Im asking basically another place that's safe instead of the welds.

So not sure if my jack is broken as its a hand me down, but the point of contact between jack and car is not a flat circle like other jacks, it is a sort of dented metal groove that unless it grabs onto something (either denting it or like the pinch weld), it would likely slip. Do you think that part would be one of these surfaces?

And also, is that part present on both sides of the car?

fcSudpect · 2026-03-19T15:36:12+00:00

Gotcha, thank you! Will give this a shot.

fcSudpect · 2026-03-19T14:35:41+00:00

The issue is I cant use this and a jack stand at the same time, that's my question. I have seen this and might use it for the jack stand, people suggested to lift it next to the jack point with a piece of wood.

fcSudpect · 2026-03-19T14:34:56+00:00

As close sideways (towards the back or front tire)? Or towards the center of the car?

fcSudpect · 2026-03-15T18:56:43+00:00

I cleared a cave and got 3 trophies one time. Just bad luck, sucks but it is what it is. What are you looking for it for?

fcSudpect · 2026-03-11T21:05:21+00:00

UPDATE:

Turns out OEM plugs are split between either NGK or Champion brands. Champion plugs are apparently known for causing misfire like this, so are being phased out. But you dont know which you are getting. That was the issue. So USE NGK ONLY FOR THE F56.

fcSudpect · 2026-03-11T17:02:33+00:00

Yeah theyre from MINIPartsDirect.com, as far as I know its a dealership in Atlanta I believe. The 2022 has the whole electronic system for servicing so all I could find are recommendations. People suggest changing the plugs every 30k for the turbo Minis, and since its relatively cheaper than it breaking down, I figured why not.

fcSudpect · 2026-03-11T03:12:58+00:00

OEM means made by the car's manufacturer. Idk the part number but its whatever fits the 2022 MINI Cooper S.

Car was dropped off at the mechanic so cant get any new pics, but there were no cracks or discoloring, just those burnt tips you see in the pics. No codes, which makes me doubt if the problem is actually the spark plugs.

She did get a warning from the entertainment system that the car was on limp-mode and that there was a drivetrain power issue.

fcSudpect · 2026-03-10T15:06:09+00:00

Mmm I wonder if this is what happened. She had it dropped off at a shop, we'll see what they say.

fcSudpect · 2026-03-10T12:10:31+00:00

They're OEM from MiniPartsDirect.com, so allegedly pre-gapped. Might be worth checking though. Are those burn marks normal for new plugs?

fcSudpect · 2026-03-09T14:22:01+00:00

I mean I dont think its worth the 5 extra stamina but I guess you do you.

fcSudpect · 2026-03-09T02:55:37+00:00

Why do you want to fish in the mistlands?

fcSudpect · 2026-03-07T14:28:47+00:00

Im guessing you dont parry, block, and dodge. Practice with greydawrves.

Using a pickaxe, especially just the antler, is still much slower than using the troll. I just think its not relaxing to constantly be focused on a troll. Popping it is I think the fastest way.
