    OBD2 code P0496

    Will P0496 reset on its own if I have fixed the problem? I can reset it myself but I'd like to see if it will reset on its own so I'll know I have fixed the problem.

    Yokohama Avid Ascend

    Made my choice. 63,300 miles on the original Hankook 428 tires. The Yokohama Avid Ascends in 205/50-17 are made in the USA. My first 1700 miles on them confirm quieter ride. They're very smooth and they're sustaining the 36.9mpg on the computer since the car was new.

    Anyone spooning their own tires?

    I've been on a tire changing kick lately. I've been doing my lawn equipment and tractors. It's not been difficult. I am considering spooning my own tires off and on the Sonic then taking them somewhere for a spin balance. Anyone spooning their own tires? Is there anything to consider regarding...

    Highest Milage Tires

    I'm approaching 60,000 on the factory tires on my LTZ. As much as I don't care for Korean tires on my car, I really can't complain about them. Anyone put more miles on a different tire? I'm looking for a long lasting tire and MAXIMUM fuel economy. I don't care about cornering speed, etc, only...

    Steering -lubricate at 12,000?

    I had the misfortune of picking up a 4" nail in a tire yesterday. I had the local tire shop repair it. They left me with a printout that listed all the various things to inspect on my 2013 Sonic at 12,000 miles. Everything said INSPECT except one that said to LUBRICATE the steering. Does anyone...

    Dexos1 motor oil

    I have the 1.4 turbo and the oil spec is Dexos1. A lot of the major brands of synthetic oils already meet the Dexos1 standard like the Mobil 1 I use in the wife's CR-V. When I was looking at GM's list of licensed Dexos1 oils, I saw Mag1 listed and looked it up. They're an independent...

    2013 hatchback cargo mat or pan

    Does anyone know of a rubber mat or molded cargo pan that fits the Sonic hatchback WITH the seats folded down? In other words, I want to keep the back seats folded down and have a rubber mat to cover the entire "cargo area". I was wondering if anyone has tried the mat for the Sonic Sedan?

    2013 1.4 Turbo mpg

    Right off the bat my city milage is 34. This is a new 2013 1.4 turbo hatchback. It showed 17.1mpg with 7 miles on it when I picked it up. At 100 miles of my non-highway mix of hills and flat driving it has climbed to 34mpg. I can't wait to get it broken in and see what it does on the highway.
