The time has come to replace the factory cabin air filter. Can someone recommend a good one or the best ones available? I plan on switching out myself so I don't mind spending a bit for a good quality filter.

Hello fellow GT owners, I live in SoCal and I recently switched my insurance carrier to Progressive since they offered a lower rate. However I've been reading lots of negative feedback on their claims department, the process in getting repairs done, claims paid, and worst of all when a vehicle's...

I'm hoping my fellow GT drivers could help me with some insight into other car brands. I need to sell or trade-in my 2020 manual GT by early next year and get a sedan (sadly in automatic). I'm currently considering a Lexus IS 350 F or IS 500 if I can actually order either and also looking into...

Hi all I'm a noob when it comes to selling a car so I could use some insight. Is there any benefit towards the value if I payoff my car loan before selling it versus selling it with whatever is still owed on the car? I know that when trading in at a dealership they'll just deduct what's still...

Long story short I foolishly made those vertical surface scratches when removing dried bird poop before it was fully soaked. The particles in the poop scratched from top to bottom which is that cluster of thin vertical scratches. They are just on the surface of clearcoat but since they are very...

Hi all I've had 2 oil changes so far at my dealership and I use Motorcraft 5w30 Full Synthetic. Is it worth spending the extra money to stay with Full Synthetic or should I switch to 5w30 Synthetic Blend?

I'm 1k miles away until my next oil change and I need to top off a quart since the oil just hit the bottom mark on dipstick. Currently running MC Full Synth 5w30 but I can't find a 1qt bottle near me. Is it safe to top off my engine with a quart of 5w30 BLEND when needed without it causing...

The circled part of my driver side door handle (see pic) is kind of loose meaning I can jiggle it up and down which causes a creaking/clicking noise. Is there a way to tighten this so it's firm again or is it just normal wear? Passenger side handle is much firmer with no up and down play when I...

I could use some help from my fellow interior rattle/noise chasers, I've been going HAM on these interior rattles lately, took the driver door panel off, knocked every part to listen for noise, cushioned all the loose white push pins with felt tape so they're set in place, and added felt tape...

I recently started hearing this constant clicking/rattling coming from the circled area in the picture below. I'm not 100% sure this is the specific area but when I press on the part marked with the arrow it produces a rattle or clicking noise of something loose. Is there something inside that...

Just got an alignment and everything looks good except for the caster difference from left and right that I'm stumped about. The suspension is completely stock and here's the specs after alignment: Left caster is 7.3 Right caster is 6.6 Front Toe 0 Rear Toe. 0.13 both sides Rear Cambers: -1.5...

Hi all, I have this extremely annoying buzzing that shows up when I'm on the highway that sounds like it's coming from above the driver side window, near or above where the seat belt latch is or possibly right at the edge of the door panel where the weatherstrip is. I have a feeling it's...

Do you guys think I should lower my car? Wheels are the stock black accent package 19x8.5 and I'm not going to run spacers, springs are minimum drop 1''. It's obviously going to have that gross inside the fender look but is it worth lowering for the slightly improved handling and less wheel gap?

I've seen a few posts on this but no explanation of why one size is better than the other. Most people with 19x10 squared seem to go with 285/35 regardless of stock ride height or on lowering springs, but I've seen a few running 275/40 which has a "fuller" look that fills the wheel well more...

I'm hoping some of you wheel/tire experts can help me out before I lower the car and put aftermarket wheels on. 2020 GT passenger REAR wheel gap is about 1/2 inch higher than the other side (stock suspension and yes it was properly measured on level ground). It drives fine, but the gap is...

Thanks in advance for any helpful info, I have a 2020 GT mt-82 (black accent pkg) on factory suspension and wheels. The passenger REAR wheel gap is about 1/2 inch higher than the other side (and yes it was properly measured on level ground). Basically all 3 other corners have almost identical...

I'm planning on getting new wheels soon. For some odd reason the passenger rear wheel gap has always been bigger than the rest of the wheels. I'm hoping to correct this if possible or necessary before upgrading. Currently I'm on factory suspension and the black accent 19x8.5 wheels. All other...

Scrapes like this are new to me so I just need to know if this scrape is minor and if the tire is still safe. I just noticed this scrape that's about 2mm deep, just rubber inside it. I drive very spirited so I just want to be sure it's safe... Am I good to go without replacing it?

Hi all, 2 questions, Anyone know what causes these random scrapes on the tire sidewall and is this tire still good or need replacement? I just noticed this scrape that's about 2mm deep (no cords showing) and I have never had curb rash or scraped anything while driving.

This is my first RWD car so please bear with me. My previous Accord Coupe was lowered 1.5 inches with spacers and a rear sway bar, and that's all it took to handle like a go cart. What are the best suspension mods that would make the biggest difference when taking corners, hard acceleration on...
