Once you've pried off the restraining arm of the glove box (on the right), you need to squeeze the plastic sides of the glove box quite firmly to release the catch on each side. The glove box will then hang down, out of the way. (Be sure you've completely emptied the box first : ) ). 2. When you look in behind the now down box, you'll see a black "wall". You'll notice two sets of "tabs"; two tabs in each set, one below the other. These are spring clips and you need to squeeze each set firmly to release the filter box. I usually squeeze one set and then, while squeezing, wiggle that side of the filter box out about 1/4 of an inch. Repeat for the other side and then the whole thing slides out. If you've got strong fingers, do them both at once. It's a piece of cake once you get the hang of it. Change filter, reverse process (don't forget to squeeze when and where you squeezed before) and you're done. Once you've done it once, it takes about 3 minutes. Perhaps all this is a bit of overkill; perhaps it will save you inventing new swear words. |

Replying to: kimweigel (Jun 21, 2008 11:10 am) Which size(eg 20X20, 20X25, etc) air filter and brand/type did you buy at HDP? Did you buy one of the more expensive brands such as Filtrete from 3M for $16? I believe that the "el cheapo" filters for under $1 would work also but with lower air cleaning performance. The "el cheapo" would work out to 25cents each!!! |

Hypothetically, let's say a sedan of Japanese or South Korean origin about 4 to 5 years old starts acting "funny" but continues to be driven, and then a warning light such as an oil pressure or high coolant temperature illuminates. And the car is driven "a little farther" before being stopped. Can the car's computer be accessed afterward by the dealer and determine that the car was driven 10 miles after a warning light came in instead of a fraction of a mile? And if so, how would one clear out that type of information from the car so the information cannot be used to prove a manufacturer's allegation that the car was driven several miles with an important warning light illuminated continuously for many minutes in order to avoid paying on a bumper to bumper warranty repair for major work on this car?

I have a 2007 Sonata which i recently bought new in January (well it is oficially used but it only had 24 miles on it when i bought it from a dealer; and interesting but a different story). I hm just doing my second oil change on it; have been doing my own oil chages on my Hondas and toyotas for 30+ years. On my Sonata (4cyl., standard trans), I finfished replacing filter and oil and added 3.78 liters of Castrol 5W-20. But it did not read "full," read just at the "L" on the dip stick. Is it the case that this car takes 4.5 quarts? I have never used more than the 3.78 liter or 4quart copntainers.

Car has 119,00 miles Automatic. I was driving down the Hwy 70mph using the cruise control when it shifted from D to 3rd gear. It stayed that way until I pulled over and turned off the car. I re-started the car about 5 minutes later and everything was fine. Drove 30 miles 70mph without a problem. The next day I drove about 5 miles 50mph and it did it again. "any ideas" Thanks Chris
