Since the 1950s, the popular calculation of how old a dog was âin human yearsâ has been that 1 dog year is the equivalent of 7 human ones. Even though this formula has been around for a surprisingly long time, the reality is not so cut-and-dried. That doesnât stop many people from defaulting to this traditional calculation.
Oil Changes. I have a 2006 Hyundai Sonata with 56,000 miles on it. The owners manual says to change the oil every 7500 miles. The place I take the car to for the oil change says every 3000 miles. Friends of mine say every 3000 miles because it is mainly driven in the city.
Hyundai is recalling 470,000 Sonata sedans from the 2011 and 2012 model years equipped with 2-liter or 2.4-liter gasoline engines. Dealers will inspect the recalled cars and replace parts for owners, the company said. Hyundai also is recalling nearly 100,000 Accent small cars because the brake lights can fail.
