Hell my experience is that even with cut and dry stuff it'll most often take a call to the State AG's office to kick the insurance dickheads into gear and payout properly.

But Hyundais are supposed to be good cars! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lw54i8Ke5TM You think the owners would be smart enough to top off the oil before making a claim with the dealer lol But people are dumb, and he's right about EVs, this is why they will get more popular with people that refuse to do maintenance to their vehicles

Adding oil wouldn't have helped with the warranty claim - Hyundai will deny you if you cant provide a full service history. The problem is a combination of overly long service intervals, the tendency of that engine to use a lot of oil as it ages (<1qt / 1000 miles is normal), no oil level indicator and the fact they always sound like a clattery pile of crap even when they're running fine. I have a 2015 2.0T with about 145,000km so I'm into the danger zone. It does use some oil, maybe 1l / 3000km depending on usage so it'd definitely run dry if I followed the 15,000km change interval without top ups.

It sounds like the problem is that's it's a garbage motor, that's why engine shops are refusing to rebuild them. Also like he said, kinda telling when the dealer says to trash the core cuz they don't even want it on exchange for a new long block.

For a couple years, I would pull over and add oil to my Ranger every time the "CHECK GAUGE" light would blink, and the oil pressure would swing to 0 when I was making a sharp right-hand turn.

My 2017 Ford Focus was burning around 1L of oil every 400mi and it ran perfectly fine until the low oil pressure light came on, which would happen about 30 seconds before the OH poo poo blinking check engine light came on. This all happened for the very first time like 2 weeks after I bought the car. I took it right back to the dealership and they were all "oh it's just the GIBBERISH sensor and also you were a little low on oil so we topped you off. You owe us $1000 for doing nothing." That happened 3 different times. Then my transmission exploded on a 4 day trip that turned into a 9 day trip while I waited for them to get a new one, under warranty, without them giving me a rental car so me and my ex sat in a hotel for 4 days. Then the oil burning thing became like 1L every 200mi and the dealership swapped out the entire long block. 6ish months later now, the transmission is showing signs of eating poo poo again and I'm about to drive from California to Virginia next Saturday.

So I remember the jokes about the oil change schedule on VW TDIs being like owning a two-stroke Trabant. Is that level of oil usage just normal for everyone now?

I just bought a Mini with a 2.0L BMW engine, which has no dipstick. If you want to know how much oil it has, you get to traipse through menus where it reminds you to be parked on level ground and not to touch anything while it performs its measurements:  I'm kinda split on this because I know the normal target market for BMW/Mini probably has zero interest in checking the dipstick (or even opening the hood) so having an option in the infotainment system is probably helpful... of course, they're probably just as likely to never go in there too so?

And I thought my Lexry was being snooty by not having a transmission dipstick. Checking the ATF level is a bit of a pain (need a scan tool to verify ATF temp); pretty sure it's never been changed either. It has both an oil dipstick and an oil level sensor, but it only tells you if the oil level falls below the sensor. But most of the engine bay is hidden under plastic anyway.

Thank god Ford doesn't have any Mavericks in stock because I probably would have bought one and regretted it at the first warranty claim.

When my wife took it to the dealer for service the techs flipped out like it was a big deal lol

NitroSpazzz posted:I had 330k+ miles on my 2000 TDI and did an oil change every 10k miles, never had issues with oil consumption over that duration. Might have burned a 1/2L at most but I always overfilled by 1/4L. That was a good car. I've seen high consumption TDIs but it's usually because they used the wrong oil for too long and the rings no longer sealed well. Most TDI failures are because the owner didn't understand they require more care than a Gas car. The Lada, like some Marine worms, sheds it's internals in self defense, but do not worry it will regrow them. CommieGIR fucked around with this message at 14:59 on Feb 13, 2023 |

At least they actually tell you whats wrong though.

My brand new work issued 2023 Silverado with the 2.7 Turbo (still can't wrap my head around a 4 cyl full size), the oil pressure gets to the bottom of the pressure gauge at low RPM. Coworkers does the same thing, so I guess it's normal. The warning light does not come on though but I was a little concerned when I first saw it.

I overfill the K24 in the BRZ by a quart because it drops oil pressure from the 80psi area to 20psi under trail braking even with a bunch of baffling in the pan. Probably not a big deal but still annoying.

That's really impressive. edit: sarcastx posted:I just bought a Mini with a 2.0L BMW engine, which has no dipstick. If you want to know how much oil it has, you get to traipse through menus where it reminds you to be parked on level ground and not to touch anything while it performs its measurements: I'm very OK with the electronic measurement, but in addition to the dipstick. Having just the digital method seems ill advised.

BlackMK4 posted:moneyfire, love it Speaking of dry sumps: Our lemons team put the H27 V6 from a Grand Vitara (with cams from an H25 because they’re meant for higher revs) into our Starlet. We’ve so far blown up two during races. Smarter folks would ditch this engine for a better one. We chose a used dry sump from eBay (from an old nascar engine?) and perhaps some custom pistons. Money fires are the best.
