I think the best one will be the Hyundai OEM. Because it's not synthetic after about 100k miles I realized that the synthetic oil it sort of leaking in-between the gaskets. Either that or the gaskets are crappy quality.

They're fine but after having 100k on the truck I've realized the gaskets are crappy I can see the oil coming threw just about on every seal on the car. I'm looking to trade it in. After working on the car myself and studying it closely I'm pretty sure it's designed to last about 120-150k then it will begin to have some catastrophic failures. The amount of gear oil on the rear transfer case is less than a half quart. There's too much plastic on the engine and the gdi injection system isn't the best idea for longevity.

We're at 140k miles with the palisade and so far no issues. I's never been to a trip to the dealer. The only thing I've done is change the oil every 3-4k miles with penzoil. I was using amsoil until right after the virus but they upped their price and it's just too expensive now when compared to buying penzoil from Walmart online. Also been doing the trans fluid every 30-40k and I did the transfer cases at around 70k. I haven't changed the plugs because I took them out and they looked in excellent condition. Ive also some the valve cleaning service with seafoam, CRC and one time with the atscarbonclean.com. Although I haven't looked at the valves with a camera. The car is running smooth and strong so I don't think there's any compression issue. I've changed the front brakes and discs once and the rear once as well. Although the rear didn't need it. The cars been really good so far. My only complaint is that the Bluetooth cuts in and out sometimes. We've tried different phones removing /adding them but to no avail. I think we're actually going to look into selling it because the kids are growing out of the third row. So family trips are getting pretty tight.

​@@mortirius1lol I'm in the same boat as you bro with the kids outgrowing the seats. But what's next after a Palisade? An over priced wildly expensive Ford expedition max? Lol

@@3_L_mafia we ended up getting a new Toyota sienna. I kind of wish I would have had this first. It's way better as so much more room. Kids fit perfectly so do adults

Update: I completed the fluid replacement and you're right, it's just as easy if not easier than changing the oil. The wort part of this job, and with changing the oil as well, is having to remove the fairings/undercovers. By the way, my fluid was as dark as used motor oil and the magnetic plug was completely covered with shavings. Based on this, I will most likely be changing the fluid every 20-25K miles, which will coincide with about every third oil change.

one of several reasons. It is important to check the tightness of the lug bolts as well. If they are loose they will round out and wobble. If you have steel rims you can repair this by welding correct size washers to the rim .

Yeah I learned not to use channel locks on hub nuts and cotter pins lol

I did it's on my channel 😀

Not sure but I paid about 60$ for it. It'll work though I'm sure.

That works using a transfer pump. Thank you

I'm not sure it was a hundred bucks they'll do the same thing. However I have read somewhere that the way the engine is designed it doesn't spit that much oil back in to the motor. And there's never a lot of oil in that can either. I'd say every 6,000 miles I probably get less than an ounce. I'm not sure if it's truly worth it. To disrupt the system

@@mortirius1 sounds good I just won't mess with it.. Thank you for replying.. Have a safe day!!!

24 ounces on the front and 24 ounces on the rear so you need to buy 2 quarts. A quart is equivalent to 32 ounces.

I think Alfonso is right. I believe I had bought three quarts and I only open two of them. And I put the rest in my Toyota tundra which all together took about 8 quarts. I could have believed how little the Palestine had in the rear. When you do it you'll see it's probably your service that should be done every 15k If you plan on keeping the car forever

Why not just top it off til it runs out the fill plug? Does it specify the amount in the manual?

I can't speak of this particular transmission, however I know on some ford transaxles the filter cannot reasonably be replaced. The whole transmission needs to be removed and case needs to be split in order to access. The way I look at it, if you keep up with fluid changes there's no reason that filter should ever become clogged. If the transmission does produce enough metal shavings and clutch material to clog that filter its going to need replacement/rebuild anyway, replacing the filter at that point won't save it.

Would you recommend changing the fluid at 81000 miles if it's never been drained before?

Yes it says make sure vehicle is off. Being the car has so many sensors. I suppose you will trip one by doing this. Just change the trans fluid every 30k and it will be fine

I've been running the catch can for about 30k miles and it hasn't caught anything. I don't think it'll be worth putting it on. I also went ahead and bought a new pcv valve just to change it. Ive always don't this. I be 65k miles one it and the pcv valve was completely clean. There was no need to replace it.

No need for catch can this engine works on both Otto and Atkinson cycles.

I empty my catch catch twice every 3,500 miles. It seems like it catches alot in my opinion.

I've done the service twice now I'm at 68k. There's no leak, and I haven't checked the plug or the oring.

It was normal for a new vehicle*

If the car was on level ground and you only took 1.8 quarts out from a palisade, then it was missing 2.2 quarts from the factory. Did you fill it and let it come out from the bottom like I showed you?

Thanks for the idea I think I will. If you do oil changes make sure your getting oil that's made for GDI engines. I'm going to make a video on that. It's super important and not mentioned in the owners manual.

I discovered this as well! I was all set to buy a 3/4 socket but decided to check it first. Thanks for verifying this and for posting!

never use that crap

I've stopped using it now cause the price is way to high for a gallon. I've switched to buying gallons of penzoil ultra from Walmart. Alot of the tests people do online including the project farm video that compares the two doesn't prove that it's any better than penzoil

Great informative video, thanks . Is it important to check the oil level when the transmission is hot or cold ,as some transmission fluids expand a lot when at operating temperatures?

I bought access to it, but you need a mechanic service license.
