I replaced the coil with a MSD high performance which was actually cheaper than any other brand, and had significantly better boots on it to keep the water problem from happening again. Haven’t had an issue in 2 years.
41-156 is the new plug for the LE2 engine. Our 2016.5 got them, and they are fine. 41-123s came out of it.
Amsoil is just an above average full synthetic oil. It's nothing magical. It has a higher than normal "Total Base Number", which is what allows it to go longer between changes without going acidic.
the donaldson P551315 off amazon or through ryder are the cheapest absolute 2 micron filters, have been running them on mine for the last 100k. Like $13/piece Much cheaper and I believe just as high of quality filters as the airdog branded stuff, perhaps superior.
When my wife bought her Bolt EV, sales people didn\u2019t even try to sell an extended warranty or extended service. my household have been driving EVs for 6 years; 70k miles and zero maintenance outside of rotating tires. Cheapest cars to operate and maintain.
Have a 2017 Volt in Ottawa for the last 2+ years.
- Summer range is about 100km and winter range is about 65km
- Have a home charger so I don’t rely much on the chargers around the city. It is convenient at IKEA and the few other places.
- Totally worth having it as I used to spend about $220 a month in gas and that equates to about $25 a month in electricity.
- We have Michelin X-ice 3 tires and it works great in winter. Something useful about electric cars is that they are quite heavy due to the batteries so it assists with the traction.
We've been driving two EVs, a 2012 Leaf since Dec2011 and a 2017 Bolt since Sept 2017.
In the Bolt we lose about 40% range at -20 and lower. Bu the range is so good to begin with its not an issue.
Have Dunlop Sig HP 235/45r17 on my Volt. Not a bad tire. Grip is much higher than the stockers of course. Weird thing though, around 2 different off ramps at a similar speed to the stock tires, the ESP light comes on. I know it is getting light on the back inside tire, but I am coasting, not braking. Though, not sure how the regen works with the rear tires. So maybe the car is braking the back tires at the same amount as the regen is braking the front axle? Either way, never got an ESP light on any cornering with stock tires, and get it occasionally with the new ones. Slight slight bit of howl, but coming from the crap hypermile OE tires, everything is going to be louder. For the price I paid, I will not complain a bit.
GM iron duke and pushrod 2.2. Underwhelming? I can attest to that. Had the 2.2L 118HP 4-cylinder engine in my first car. fan bearings decided to give up one day on the highway. Head gasket job twice in 85,000 miles.
Now, in my Aveo, I had the belt replaced when I bought it. 35k miles later, it snapped, taking the head with it.
