Yeah no more than 8000km
Fluids fall under emissions, so every manufacturer is trying to stretch them out and much as possible and those are the issues you get. Make it to warranty then not your problem. On our oil change stickers we will put 8000km if it's a synthetic oil. Some customers get...
Yeah good quality fluids will clean it out good. Turbos love clean fluids, they spin up to super high RPM, and historically were oil cooled. Yours is water cooled, but good oil will also aid in the cooling and I'm sure the bearings will a hair happier.
At some point you will need to de-carbon...
Hard to say. Direct injection + turbo (my wifes engine) is a recipe for carbon. Toyota has largely avoided carbon issues with the dual injection system, but not many people are doing that. These engine need to get hot and they need to be driven hard. I actually haven't seen many issues with the...
Welcome to modern turbos! Wifes Mazda 4 cylinder turbo puts out more power than my old Durango 5.9L, and has the ability to pass a gas station without needing more fuel.
OEM bushings are in stock at various NA DC'S. Just call your local dealer and order some. Mine came next day(depending on cut off time of the DC). Oddly enough Portland is our supplying DC and get here faster than the neighbouring province.
I had the same problem with mine after I did my alignment and definitely cranked mine on tight. I think as it moves to the new position and tightened I think its tight but the sub frame may have a raised bit that allows it to not be fully seated, shift and then your noise. In my case it was both...
Add more grease, also check the lower control arm bolts and make sure they are tight. My upper bushings had movement, adding more grease took care of that.
I saw a leather Rubicon (JL)the other week with no LED lights on the front or rear, I was so impressed, it was a work of art.
I'm actually against a lot of LED lights in vehicles (that don't have replaceable bulbs). One LED goes you need to replace the entire assembly. Its such a waste and...
Yeah we have a lot of mountains in BC. I hear the odd subaru rolling around the city with studs in the winter. Not really necessary in this part of the province. Its frustrating when I hear people driving in the summer time with studs....... ******* idiots.
This isn't much help now, but if you've never used studded tires its as close to being glued to the road when on ice as you can get. Worth considering if you have severe winter in your area. A lot of all terrain tires that are winter rated (not all), such as Duratracs, have provisions for studs...
Do 2 cold start test. Immediately start and see if it has trouble. Other test is cycle the key a couple times, allow the fuel pump to prime and see how it starts. Could be the pump is bleeding pressure during long periods of no driving (over night).
Thats actually a good call. If its a Mopar add on, they will have all up to date install info and if a moron ***** it up, way easier to get compensation since its a Mopar add on.
