When the car is in quiet mode, it definitely shouldn’t be loud when it starts. If it is then your car isn’t in quiet mode. I’d double check the valve and make sure it’s fully closed before starting. The reason it will start “louder” and then settle down is the rpm’s. It helps build oil...

Nevermind, I thought the stock one was a stubby. It’s not very tall but it’s taller than yours. I don’t have a problem with the stock one. It’s barely noticeable as is but yours is definitely short.

Our car came with a stubby. I thought they all did.

I would have to see torn down engines to believe without a doubt. I don’t doubt they help but a few factors come into play. 1) 90% (guesstimate)or more people don’t use top tier all the time. 2) many people don’t do proper oil changes at the correct time and use non top quality oil which...

Thanks for confirming they don’t separate. However, I can 100% guarantee some additives do work and work very well. Not all are created equal and there’s probably more that don’t work well. I have seen various engines, before and after, from boat motors, gas and diesels that have seen the...

Took a short highway drive to the coast and averaged 24.5 with 90% at 70 plus mph. Did about 20 miles of city driving out of the 165 we put on it. All city driving and it’s around 18 mpg. Just a little over 2500 miles on it now.

That’s my point I was referring too. We are presuming that the fuel at the rack is properly blended with the additives we are expecting. That’s not always the case and not all fuels are the same from state to state. Florida has some of the worst fuel you can buy even from top tier stations...

If you can get non ethanol 87 for the price or close to it and it makes you feel good, use it. As stated above, your car is designed to use E10 blend 87 octane as are all cars of the last 20 plus years. There’s very little ethanol in it and unless it sits for a year without you running it...

Maybe it’s my phone but I can only hear the exhaust and what appears to be injector or fuel pump pulse

We just received our first update. Anti lock brake system update, vehicle start up responsiveness and something with communication to the dash. Took about 5 minutes.

I don’t use one either. I’ve torqued enough lugs, studs, and nuts over the years that I don’t need to pull out another tool. I also use a harbor freight 3 ton floor jack with craftsman jack stands.

I’ve tried a traditional wax on top of TW ceramic spray and it looked a little more “wet” but I like the use of TW spray ceramic on its own and the same for Sealn shine. The wax is usually the topper. I just want to make that clear. I’d definitely use a product that offers UV protection. The...

This is your best option hands down. We lived in Indiana for decades and I knew many people who used this stuff. If you get it applied in a new vehicle they will warranty against any rust issues or they use too. I think you had to have an annual inspection or touch up though. It’s been a few...

I reached in there and didn’t really feel anything that seems like it would cause a rattle other than the blower motor. I don’t think any of those wires or cables would be loud enough to hear even if they were moving. I’d check under the hood next to the firewall on that side and see if...

Another option is to go the safer route and use a sealant or wax that you are more comfortable with and after some time goes on and you gather more information on ceramic coatings and how to polish cars you can then choose to do your own ceramic coating. The important thing is get protection on...

The shine was good but not like the ceramic coating. If the cars were side by side you’d notice the difference but by themselves most people can’t tell if it’s a good wax or ceramic coated. The TW has UV protection in it as well. If I didn’t go ceramic I would have used TW. There are other...

Couple things to consider and this is where opinions very. You can use iron remover with your decon towel while the car is foamed. Dont waste product and start spraying all over the car. It’s a waste and pointless. One spray on the towel and a wide spray on a panel and you are good to go...

This is what mine looks like

I’m not trying to promote anyone or anything here but if you have the time jump on YouTube and search ceramic coatings. There is a ton of informative videos. There are a few people I watch their content and they have a ton of information. One has been in the industry for over 40 years and...

If nobody posts before I get home, I’ll check it out and post a pic
