I am one of the people who changed the fluid out at 50,000 miles. It was absolutely disgusting. The fluid was black and smelled burnt. I did the two in succession drain/fills and continued with an annual drain/fill. Each drain removes 4 quarts. 2013, 2.4L.

Unless the dealer can verify the factory sticker is incorrect, I would never take their word over the designer's. 41 psi is higher than 'traditional' tire pressures, thus not seen by many dealers nor mechanics (yet).

Might be ignorance at the dealer. Don't know where you are but I'm in NH and with the change from summer temps, my tires show 4-5 psi less than temps in the 80s.

Why would you NOT follow the manufacturer's specs? As pointed out, the two pressures shown are entirely two different sizes.

I would expect that to be normal as the compressor loads and unloads.

Paying any more for more octane that your owner's manual calls for is a waste of money. Making sure you are buying Tier 1 gasoline is not.

Not that many electric 'Noxes out there yet.

Got it. The part about adding it to a half tank of gas and driving it confused me.

Yea, but if the fuel's not hitting the valve, how will the Seafoam do anything?

You could try just covering the label with some clear packaging tape.

If you were going to make good counterfeit AC-Delco, why not put USA on them then?

Says right on them "JAPAN".

4 qts should have come out and 4 qts back in. If you filled until overflow from the high level plug, you should be good.

No, it won't negatively affect your engine if your vehicle is designed for it. E85 compatible vehicles have a yellow gas cap. E85 contains less 'energy' so your gas mileage will go down some. Congrats on solving your idle problem. If you replaced the solenoids, you can handle changing the tranny...

Nice work. And pat yourself on the back for saving $8k. I didn't look up your codes but didn't anything point to faulty phasers?

Can't confirm but it could well be. However, it's doubtful the bushings are the source of a rattling. The links are easy to check for play. Could also just be your front struts are shot. Wife's 2013 EQ had a noise from the front when going over anything two years ago. Only had 55k or so, so I...
