Why are certain year models of the Tib designated as GK or RD? I have a 2005 V6 GT what and why would it be labeled?

It is a GK. Because the 03+ are GK and the 9X-02 are RD. Dunno why... See previous posts about car acronyms...

figured i would add my (dumb) question, what is the designator for a 04 accent? would it be lc3? or is it still grouped with the lc 2 bunch?


8D

I use to run Castrol 10-w30 reular oil. and my HLAS would tick anytime I took the car above 6k rpms. in any weather.

since then I have changed to Castrol 5w-30 BLend which is semi synthetic. I have found it work best, I have never had a tick again. Not even in 0f degree weather ona cold start up.

And the oil never seems to get dirty any more.

I also use GUNK 5 min engine flush eveyr 2-3 oil changes. usually 3 in the winter and 2 in the summer.


Fully synthetic is NOT recommended for ANY engine with HLAS.

You learn that on the sixth day at automotive school.
