Re: CVT refill capacity after drain only

You could measure how much fluid is drained, and add the same volume of the fresh fluid afterwards. Check the CVT level before and after to adjust as needed.

Ditto on the Discount/America Tire road hazard warrantee: I used it once already on my Kizashi to fix a hole when a caught a screw on freeway. Also, I like it because of free balance and rotation; I take mine in every five thousand miles. On my previous vehicle I got a new tire (for the price of the...

Re: Cabin Air Filter

I have yet to replace the filter. I am still collecting data about aftermarket filters availability. The dealer’s price is outrageous, over $150. I contacted UAC about their filter. They said they didn’t sell it, and sent me to their competitor, who doesn’t even list anything for Kizashi. That was c...

Re: Finally bought one. few comments and questions

I think I finally got it closed but i noticed that the backend is slightly angled up. Is it normal. Actually, this does not sound normal. Try to do the “Sun Roof Motor Initialization,” maybe it will fix it: 1) With ignition mode of keyless push start system in “ON”, press “TILT UP”-side of sun roof...

Here is from the manual: Auto Slide Function •Auto slide function can be activated as follows with the ignition mode of keyless push start system in “ON”. —Auto slide-...
