I just recently purchased my Genesis, and I'm curious about whether using the standard gasoline (that "may contain up to 10 percent ethanol") vs. using pure gas with no ethanol, which is available in this area, is a good idea or is it worth paying 25 cents or so per gallon to get 100 percent...
About time for me to change my air filters, yes there are a left and a right on the Gen2 V8. :cool: Searched everywhere for Hyundai originals and aftermarket and finally settled on an equivalent made by WIX.

I love the Tau, a little more low end torque is all that it needs...
It could be done with a bore to 5.0 litre or a supercharger..
Not sure if the Lambda 3.8 can be...

Was looking for an excuse to take a ride today, so I took the long scenic route to Orlando Hyundai. Talked with the Retail Parts guy to check a few things out. (Real nice guy, as everyone I've dealt with, Salespersons and even Service Manager, have been great). I asked him about the oil filter...
