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.
I'm looking to buy an 06 sonata 4 cylinder, it's got 160k miles on it, and if I get it, I want to know if I should worry about replacing the transmission soon, or the motor, since it's got so many miles on it. I drove it and it seems pretty solid, but I've never had a Hyundai so I don't know how many miles you could get out of one.
