"Good first full tank, especially considering the cold temps and stiff crosswind on one day.
Slightly concerned about a stutter/shudder when shifting from 3-4 under light throttle but moderate engine load. Seems to be inconsistent as to when it happens, but more likely to happen when cold. Hopefully replace some of the worn ATF in the next few days (current ATF is slightly brown in color)" |

"Fill in Appleton prior to heading to the airport for our honeymoon. So far quite happy with the mileage considering the weather and winter fuel blend (and E10). 2x drain and fill of ATF to attempt to get rid of odd shudder. Fluid came out brown although not burnt smelling. Must have just been very old fluid. No more shudder now.
Also interesting to note....per the manual the low fuel light should come on at 1.9 gallons left. It appears to be coming on in this vehicle at 3 gallons left." |
