The Hyundai Veloster weight is one of those specifications that seems simple until we start comparing model years, engines, transmissions, and trims. Ask how much a Veloster weighs, and we could reasonably hear answers ranging from roughly 2,700 pounds to more than 3,200 pounds. Strangely…

The Ram 1500 differential fluid change interval is one of those maintenance topics that sounds simple until we open the owner's manual. Unlike engine oil, which usually comes with a fairly obvious mileage target, differential fluid does not always have one universal replacement interval. That…

The Ram 1500 8 speed transmission fluid change interval is one of those maintenance topics that sounds simple until we start digging into the details. Ask the truck manufacturer, the transmission manufacturer, an independent mechanic, and three longtime Ram owners, and we may hear several…

A Ram 1500 key fob is one of those little conveniences we barely notice—until it stops working. One day, we press the unlock button from across the parking lot and the truck responds instantly. The next, we’re standing beside the driver’s door pressing the button…

The Ram 1500 oil change interval sounds like it should be a simple number. Drive a certain number of miles, change the oil, reset the reminder, and get back on the road. Easy, right? Not quite. Modern Ram 1500 trucks use an oil-life monitoring system,…

Pull up to a gas station in a Ram 1500 and the choices look simple enough: regular, mid-grade, or premium. Yet that little row of buttons can spark a surprisingly big question: what gas type does a Ram 1500 actually need? The short answer is…

Yes, most Mazda 6 models can take regular unleaded gasoline, and if we're driving a gasoline-powered Mazda 6 in the United States, regular 87-octane fuel is generally acceptable. That includes the popular naturally aspirated Skyactiv-G 2.5-liter engine and, perhaps more surprisingly, the later Mazda 6…

If we are trying to figure out the Volkswagen Amarok fuel tank size, the short answer is refreshingly simple: most Volkswagen Amarok models use an approximately 80-litre fuel tank. That figure applies to many first-generation Amaroks as well as the newer-generation pickup sold in major…

Ask what makes the Volkswagen Amarok interesting and we’ll probably hear plenty about its towing ability, four-wheel-drive system, comfortable cabin, or unusually refined road manners for a pickup. But beneath all of that sits the part that really defines how an Amarok feels: its engine.…

The Holden Colorado towing capacity is one of the big reasons this ute became such a familiar sight on Australian highways, worksites, boat ramps, and caravan parks. For later RG-generation Colorados, the headline number is impressive: many variants are rated to tow up to 3,500…
