    Uh, make sure you change your engine air filter..

    I'm embarrassed to say how long it had been, but my air filter was so dirty it was vile. There was a very noticeable power bump.

    Oil change

    1. When do you guys get your oil change done? Every 5000 miles? 7500 miles? 6 months? or when the light comes up? 2. Where do you guys get your oil change done? Dealership? Jiffy Lube? or do you do it yourself? 3. Do you usually use synthetic? How much do you pay for an oil change?

    4.6 V8 engine air filter change

    Trying to figure out how to open the engine air filter casing on the V8 (2011), but I must be stupidly overlooking something. The owner's manual appears to show 3 release clips, but I can only find 2 - located at the rear of the casing. Releasing just those does not free-up the casing. Can any...

    Rough time at dealer for first oil change.

    Hi I took the car in for its first oil change today and asked the dealer to also change the lamps for the high beams and the position lamps. As an aside, Daniel Stern recommended a 65W Osram bulb for the high beams and I asked them to install these for the position lamps...

    First oil change, where?

    Fellow Genesis fans, I am approaching 7500 miles and am due for my first oil change on my 2010 4.6. Question is, where should I have it done? I can either take it to the corner Jiffy Lube, take it to the dealer, or do it myself. The dealer involves making an appointment and waiting around...

    Is my Door Lock/Unlock working Properly or Can I change a setting to fix it?

    Here is what happens. 1.) Approach the Genesis with all doors locked and Key fob in pocket 2.) Unlock just the drivers door by pushing the drivers door once. 3.) Start the Car and leave it running. 4.) Get out of the car (Like you forgot something or you are running around to open the door for...

    First Oil Change?

    I have a new 4.6 and I heard that I am suppose to change the oil at 3,500 miles yet in the manual, all I can find is a reference to 7,500 mile service. Where did I miss this? Should I take it in at 3,500 miles?

    Any way to change default (initial) phone volume?

    The Bluetooth connection to my iPhone works well, and I use it frequently. But whenever I receive or make a call the volume is set way to low, and I have to crank it up every time. Is there some way to increase the default volume that is used when making/receiving a call?

    Change Cabin Filter? HA!

    Because I am leaving for Penfield next week, and will be up there for 2 to 4 weeks, I decided to check the condition of the Cabin Filter. Car has 23000 miles on it. About 10000 miles ago, my Genesis Tech, who had a lot of trouble getting to the filter, did show me how to do it. OK, emptied the...

    20 inch wheels, how did it change your ride?

    I would like to know if anyone has installed 20 inch wheels or larger on their Genesis. How has this affected your ride? Also what did you do to overcome the fitment problem due to the large brake calipers up front?

    Rear Sway Bar Bushings Running Change

    There has been some discussion concerning running suspension changes made after early April '09 without much specificity other than "shocks, springs and bushings" (which is just about everything) I may have discovered a change to the rear sway bar bushings. I wrote earlier about my intent to...

    Oil Change FYI

    I was changing my oil last weekend and gathered jackstands to lift the cars four corners level. I thought why not lift just one corner enough to get the container under it. So I did. I drained most of the oil then replaced the big container with a really shallow one. I then lowered the car which...

    First Oil Change This Weekend

    Well, it's time for my first oil change. I going to Mobil 1 w/Hyundai filter. I'm strictly a DIY oil changer and would like any tips from those that have done this already. I've changed oil in many cars and they all have their quirks. I assume the Genesis is no different. Thanks in advance.

    Speedometer recalibration with wheel size change?

    :)Does the dealer (or wheel installer) recalibrate your speedometer to account for a larger wheel diameter when you upgrade to larger wheels? If not, of course, your speedometer would not read accurately with the larger wheels (or smaller, for that matter). The difference, if I remember my...

    Change OE tires?

    I have read on this forum and seen reviews of the Dunlop's on Tire Rack that come as Original Equipment and I'm not impressed. Since I have not yet taken delivery, I'm debating whether or not I should try to trade them in. The alternatives I've been looking at are Michelin Pilot Sport A/S...

    First oil change

    I just picked up a 2010 black/black 4.6 with tech package and I wanted to see if anyone else changed their oil around the 1k mark. That is usually the recommended timeframe to get rid of any metal in the engine, but the manual doesn't say anything. Btw, the car is awesome! Emil
