Chevy Volt Vlog #71 – 69,800 Miles Update – I need to add 1 Quart at 38% oil life.

Chevy Volt Vlog #71 – At 69,800 miles – so my 2017 Chevy Volt is now about 3 years old. I noticed that it needs a quart of 0W-20 every time the oil life is at 38%. It may be just my Chevy Volt. Now my parents drive it 80-90% of the time with gasoline so it gives me more data on how the engine is holding up. Btw, my Youtube vlogs and reviews may also have associated affiliate links to products that may earn from qualifying purchases.

So quick tips from this Chevy Volt Vlog:

  1. Check ALL your Chevy Volts fluid levels at least MONTHLY: oil, coolants, brake, and wind shield . The transmission fluid has no dipstick so I am planning to change it out at 100k miles.
  2. I use the dip stick as a guide to add oil when i dont have a funnel. See video.
  3. I use Mobil 1 0W-20 oil for my 2017 Volt ( https://amzn.to/2MLHMDk )

DIY: Removing Rubber Odor from Spare Tire , Rubber Mats, or Rubber Stuff!

I have a 2018 Honda Clarity and 2017 Chevy Volt which I bought spare tires for. I hate the rubber odor from the compact tires, as i have the tires surface mounted in my trunk. I tried a few methods to lower or remove the smell from the trunk. See steps taken below or on the video.

Steps I took to remove the rubber smell from my car:

  1. Use baking soda ( https://amzn.to/32VPorO ) to absorb order in trunk.
  2. Vacuum trunk after using baking soda
  3. Wash rubber tire / mat with dish washing liquid ( https://amzn.to/2ye0WbJ ) and rinse
  4. Soak rubber tire / mat with white vinegar ( https://amzn.to/2Mh0GAZ) . Solution Mixture 1 cup per gallon of water . I used my shower stall, by plugging the drain, and pouring about 5 gallons of the solution in to the stall. I soaked each side of the tire in the stall solution for about 3-4 hours on each side.
  5. Wash off and rinse the vinegar with dish washing liquid and rinse.
  6. Place the tire in sunlight area for 1 day. Expose the other side for a 1 day in the sun.
  7. DONE. Replace the rubber tire or mat back into the trunk.
