I changed mine, here in the dusty Arizona desert at 12,000 miles and it looked way worse than that! I do it every oil change now which works out to about 7000 miles, I change the oil in my hybrid at about 25% of oil filter life remaining, if I had the turbo I would change it more often. Odly...

My house HVAC guy said door run the expensive filters in my heat pump, he said the Hvac isnt an air filtration system its to make the air colder or hotter and that the people who run the HEPA filters and whatnot put undo strain on the system and the point of the filter is to keep crud off the...

post a pic of that !

I know that Chevy has an "intelligent" system but Im pretty sure my Ford Mac hybrid is simply set up at 10,000 miles and the percentage is just a countdown from there after 1000 miles its 90% and so on. If it was intelligent it would take into account the distance the ICE isnt running but the...

Yea I do my own oil changes because I want to but more importantly I dont want the dumbest guy in the shop doing it! And the reality is they will use whatever oil they have laying around, and thats probably not the end of the world. but I had a Tundra over a decade ago and I took it to the...

It is catch as catch can at the dealer. Do you think they have their best people on oil changes? I had a buddy whose grandson who got a job at a Honda dealer, this kid is not sharp, and he lasted almost 2 years and he was changing oil and we asked him what oil do you put in what and he said we...

yea I live in the desert, I wonder if that heat exchanger can be disabled, reminds me of the heat from my WV bug

Yea 3 years in September at 32k right now and never had a 12v battery problem, transaxles two weeks ago and nothing else but software and oil changes , that I do myself. I am in the "your motor might blow up any minute" category. I have had two oil analysis and I have cut open my last two oil...

I can only imagine! It is the best HVAC I've have ever had, here in the Arizona desert it is a prime factor!

Yea, you have more faith in the electronics than I do.

my transaxles were just replaced at 30,000 miles and my ICE is part of the long block recall and, supposedly, can fail at anytime. a guy on here said his went at 39000 miles no noise no knock no warning, limp mode a month in the shop and a new motor. but i mostly agree it’s the electronics...

Not all hybrids are created equal, thats for sure. The Mac is my first and I would own a C-max and a Toyota. My brother had an early civic and it was wonky AF and he now has Crosstrek plug in and it is a backwards engineered junky pos.

When my axles "went" I got a shudder under acceleration that felt like it was coming from the rear, felt like a bad tire.

Good to hear, my 2022 hybrid just had the axles replaced under warranty at 30,000 miles and no other problems to report! I change my own oil at around 25% oil life which is usually 7000ish miles and Im guessing about 2000 of those is the ICE not running. I got a 6 gallon box of Royal Purple...

I had the continentals as well and I got 30,000 mile out of them, I could have squeezed another 1500-2000.

Yea it's pretty obvious the government doesnt want people driving diesels. Saw a thing with an Airforce truck, I think it was a ford, and THEY had all the emissions stuff pulled off.

I didnt get the option to not have the holes drilled and the louvers removed, it was like that when I got it new

Thanks, the dealer drilled holes in my fiber "skid plate" before I picked it up and the little flap is missing, this was supposed to drain the oil from a rod blowing through the case and keep it from busting into flames? ( pleasant thought) I do have the extended warranty that comes with the...

I waited 15 months for my 2022 XLT Hybrid, I got it in September of 2022 I've put 31,000 miles on it and I am quite happy with it. I haven't done a bunch of mods, I bought the no fake noise dongle and the stainless gas door/cap pin and thats about it. It's been to the dealer once for some...
