Where did you hear that from?

The engine runs quieter with the Amsoil Concentrate and performs better with the Cetane boost.

OK ... more reason to use small amounts (because of the potency)

OMG! I better start saving some $$$ Confused

This servicing is turning out to be expensive. All $$ I saved in cost is going back into servicing.
I going in for 30K next wk Sad

i wonder if its necessary to change certain things when they say it is.

I ask this because when we reached 30K, we were told at that servicing that we needed to change break pads. We opted not to do it then as we didn't think it was necessary and did it at the 35K instead.

good luck in your 30K next week, hope its one of your 'free labour' days Neutral

Get a good mechanic and see your labour cost cut in half. Try to source your OEM parts outside the firm and save more.

Those prices at the stealership, I mean dealership are ridicoulous.

^^So tht wud mean voiding the warranty? Confused

sweeks · Posted: Sun Oct 11, 2009 7:20 pm Post subject:

I guess it would. What have your warranty covered so far?

Do we really need it? (I'm just asking .. this is my 1st Korean vehicle)

hello to everyone viewin this post
i got a local tucson and i got some questions for u guys
firstly where can i buy the stock spoiler for less than $2100 unpainted in trinidad
& does the stock radio have a sub out
& am i the only one whose aux plays on the left side mostly

secondly forthose of you who wish to know how to maintain:>

Idea

use 1mother protectant on a damp cloth on the vinyl and rubber lineing
2liquid prestone (yelllow tin on the paint)
3Act windshield cleaner (available in peakes quickshop)
4blackjack and a damp spong on the tires
5those rim cleaners eg meguires and mothers fx, discolour the calipers
so take off the rim when using tedious but worth it
6sonax engine lacker under wheelwells and in engine (nice and shiny black everytime you wash no more mud under the wheels)
7redline fuel treatment either gas or diesel
8 if your hubs are rusting sand them with a fine paper and use zinc
oxide followed with a couple coats of chinese laquer in your colour

P.S. Ne1 modified yet a tucson yet in trinidad ??
eg. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2266578
(NB. aBOVE IS NOT mY RIDE)

I intend on getting 22 x 8.5 after the warrnty thing
The stock audio is good jus needs a lil thump
but if all else fails alpine for it
hope the above helped

And remember a car is only as good and the driver
maintainance is key
K folks have a blessed day #alien

took the tuscon for servicing six weeks ago, after that when driving you can feel air coming out from the A/C vent without the A/C being on Shocked

Took it back in for another service and told them abt the problem. It came back with a rattling sound when the A/C is turned on Shocked

WTF is going on with N&M??? Confused
