I’m looking into buying 2012 528xi all wheel drive With 101000k miles Owner just had timing chain job done at 97000k miles it was good shop in town with 3 year warranty don’t think this is good buy
@@mikimiki195 BMW after 100K miles is a MASSIVE risk. They are designed for a 50K mile 4-year lease. THAT’S IT.
@ thank you
Wow...I usually do most things like oil change, brakes, suspension arms, and etc but I hate doing wheel bearings and it cost me $700 CAD for E90 BMW rear bearing by a mechanic...maybe I will tackle wheel bearing next time myself...
Which grade oil should I use?
You get 430km highway? At what speed?
@@Oldschiroandmassage 90-110, depending on speed limit with no HVAC. Hot weather/AC robs ~30 km. Cold weather/heater probably 100 km…LOL.
@ I’ve got a new battery as well and there’s no way I’d get 430km going 110 even running no hvac. Going 110 I get 330km
Thanks from Texas
Chevy charged me $30 to rotate tires, never again. Many people use non EV tires, typically better traction, lower efficiency (range) lower cost
Mine is doing the same thing and Segway thinks I'm a repair shop too.
We've had a 2023 EUV for a few months here, and just added a 2020 EV to our household, and I need to get used to the differences. Only problem I've had with L mode is it doesn't like to go very fast, we picked it up in the KCMO area, and the freeways over there are 70MPH, and it really didn't want to go that fast in L, but I expect it'll be fine for me doing deliveries as that's all 25 to 40MPH driving. Oh, and one pedal is easy to use if'n you're experienced with stick, it's not quite the same, but the learning curve from engine braking to one pedal driving is very small.
@@WanderingCactus really? On mine L mode does not affect speed at all, it only moves the throttle coast point ahead. I’ve done 80+ mph in L on a pass no problem.
@@that_jamesguy Interesting, I found it felt very resistant to acceleration, much more so than my hubb's 2023 EUV, though that doesn't bother me as I can't imagine I'd get much use out of it on the highway.
What three cylinder engine like that is GDI
@@msengineeringdavid3148 Ford 1.0
I have same Auto bmw f30 328ix 2015 n20 engine at 180,000 kms and no timing chain changed. Always changed the oil at 6k interval and is silky smooth.
Useing stock gearing? I went to the 16t on my 09 and seems to get the revs down in a more happy range at 120
@@Techbrentc 15T front (stock) 42T rear (1 down - it’s what the bike had when I got it). Revs don’t concern me - it’s what it’s designed for. I think it’s a pretty good balance.
great video and thank you
What’s the name of the clippy tool used to remove the clips of the oil pan cover? I might just try using a flat head. And also just try to do it on level ground
Bought a 2020 Premier in July. Although I'm still in 80% jail today, it's been totally sufficient for what I need. Being a used car, it comes with some scratches on the cheap interior panels and there's a door ding or two on the passenger side, but still looks pretty good overall. Hoping it survives the next few years without any issues.
I've owned my bolt premier oasis blue since Oct 2020 and 140,900 miles later zipping along better than day 1.
@tonyLee-rw3cv Original battery? Do you ever charge it to 100%
@@mitttoille battery pack replaced at 89,000 miles under recall. Exclusively use public fast charge and only to 80%. Occasionally 100% on level 2. Didn't skip any scheduled maintenance.
@tonyLee-rw3cv Ok. My Bolt had just over 50k miles when I bought it a few months back. Original battery. Still in 80% jail for another 600ish miles. I'm wondering once the software update is lifted if I charge more than 90% whether I'll get a reduced propulsion message, etc. Time will tell, I suppose.
@@mitttoille you should be able to charge to 100%. If you have issues then something wrong with the battery pack or software
I was able to get the bolt out but lines are crazy stuck. Any tips?
@@alexandrealp right at 7:55. Flat blade between the tab where the screw goes through and the turbo itself. Push in and twist.
It would be funnier if you named it White Thunder. First actual EV since Chevy Spark EV
How bad?
I have had my 2020 bolt for five months now. love it! its my first EV. My daily drive is like 8 miles a day its purfect. I can change the radio station on the left side of the steeringwheel volume on the right
...how did u pull those wires apart. Mine won't budge even with pliers
@@ThBraveSteed mine pulled apart pretty easy.
@that_jamesguy mine shattered before coming apart. They really thoroughly covered them inside & out with some kind of black super glue stuff
@ oh yikes!
You may have a career in youtubing....well done & entertaining. I have the same problem. Thx.
What did you tighten at the very end??
Front axle pinch bolts. Always: 1. Torque the axle 2. Compress the forks to center the forks on the axle 3. Torque the pinch bolts
Great reasoning about simply buying and using a trailer with whatever vehicle you have, rather than buying a big truck and then struggling with the limited bed space and the extreme height of the truck bed. I'm considering buying a trailer hitch for my honda accord and picking up one of these trailers for most of my hauling needs.
I agree with everything. I test drove a '18 Leaf, then a few weeks later a '17 Bolt and a '22 Bolt EV, and the same day sealed the deal on the '22. That was a month ago, and this is now our workhorse. Mostly it's just me or my wife, sometimes with a kid for a school run, but we're comfortably fitted all four of us in with four recyclable bags of shopping in the trunk. Our old workhorse was a 2010 Honda Odyssey minivan, and I had an '07 Mazda 3 as an alternate, which we traded in for a tiny $700 discount on the Bolt. My wife refused to drive or most times ride in the Mazda except in dire need, it was noisy and she had a knack of stalling it one Summer which put her off. We still have the Honda as our second vehicle, but it only gets a run once a week. You didn't mention how quiet it is, maybe because you're had an EV before, but they had to add a spaceship sound to it at lower speeds to alert pedestrians. If my wife is asleep and I want to go for an early drive I can take this out and come back, and not wake her. If they just put faster charging in this it would be all the car most people need, but I think they deliberately kept it low or nobody would be buying their Equinox and Blazer EVs. We have solar panels, and grid electricity costs 10c all day and night for us, so it's very cheap to run at 4 miles/kWh on average. I reckon I'll get that a lot higher in warmer weather. In comparison our van gets 19 mph around town on a good day.
2021 models were notorious for burning oil from the exhaust valve stem seals.

EV1... Back in the 1990s was Chevy's first EV....
@@stevenfellows8945 yup it’s true. I think I flashed that on the screen.
change mine 2024 five quarts of oil and on the dip stick it shows a little under the full mark probably a 1/4 quart but as long as it is above the half way mark between the dots it will be ok. If you want to add the little extra no harm done there either.
Usless if the rack is dead and on F series r all bad design ans will die sooner or later
So mine works moves up and down left and right but i have a msg same as yours any idea what it could be
@@xpert447 sorry wish I could help.
it would be true if you actually shared the connection on the back of the thermostat.
Just did this on my wife's car. Got the exhaust side in and the actuator side into the crease as much as I could and it popped right in. Failed the first couple tries but I was doing it in the dark and the first couple weren't lined up quite right. Solid tip 👍
I too struggled with this for quite a while. Your method worked flawlessly. Thanks for the advice.
also agree about the creeper, i didnt for the first time, but i just one from walmart too the hyper tough one for $35 its pretty good for the price i like it and its fun ngl
0:48 i agree esepcially if ur changing ur own oil and on multiple vehicles, its way less messier and i got one at walmart the hypertough one for like $12 so pretty cheap
how has the cx5 been? have u done any oil changes since then? or any problems after adding oil after the low oil level light
how has the mazda been?
@@sriavula absolutely flawless. Still love it, but more importantly, the wife does.
@@that_jamesguy haha, glad to hear
yea i agree its very weird. sucks that this was the first car i did an oil change on, because ive been thinking about if i did it wrong for the past 2 months lmaoo. it was easy other than oil amount, i added more than they recomended and thats fine, but reading the oil level sucks on these cars its so hard to read it
ive been looking for a video like this for months.
Oh my goodness a little tire nosie, people are such wimps now days lol.
Well done. I have a 2023 EUV--totally agree with your assessment.
KLR can do anything. I completed the Ironbutt challenge multiple times in the saddle of a 2012 KLR back in 2012-2014 and again in 2019 on a 2018 KLR. I have plans to do it on my 2024 KLR in the future
Why did you let go of the 2012?
@christoforospilitsis541 to make the mistake of buying a ring for the wrong woman
Ive had the same car for years. Excellent summation of it. If you're gonna road trip all the time, ya, it's not the best out there. But for the price of them, they're incredible. What I used to spend on gas in my gti (which had an identical 0-60) will be more than I spent on my 3yr old used one.
