I purchased my last two vehicles private party and had good luck with them. I have seen good deals at local dealers and autotrader but the best deals on what I want seem to be at Carmax. I have heard good and bad about them. I don't plan to get anything on my current vehicle on trade b/c it is...

Is it safe to use my Optima SX to jump start a co-worker's car, if done properly? The only reason I ask is that many people have mentioned harming their electronics when changing cabin light bulbs etc., so I'm not sure if the Optima's electronics are so finicky that they can't handle...

Today I received my NGK ILKR8E6 spark plugs and will install them tomorrow. Has anyone else installed these plugs in their 2.0T? I read they are better performing than the stock Denso plugs due to having a .022 gap and cooler heat range. They are listed for the 2008 Mitsubishi EVO X 2.0T...

I talked to my dealer (service department) today and they told me that they use nothing but 5W-30 oil on all of their KIA's, not just the turbo's. Is it ok to use 5W-30 on my non turbo (2.4L) optima instead of the recommended 5W-20? I live in New York and I can bring my own oil in to the dealer...
