White ones have better traction in the winter. Black ones are silenced for better night operations.

Read the owner's manual. I still occasionally get surprised by mine on a car I've had for 10 years. If it didn't come with one, get one. Keep it in the glove compartment. I don't know who takes the manual out of their cars, but a lot of people do.

Any maintenance the owner's manual shows how to do, start with doing that for yourself. Then you can move up to doing your own oil changes, brake pads, etc. if you want.

Chilton and Haynes manuals suck now. Your public library probably has a subscription to the Haynes/Chilton online service. Use that instead of buying the hardcopy, which will just send you to the online service anyway. The factory service manual and wiring diagram should be better when you're ready for that.

i think the yellow one is actually an ev, and the blue one has a snorkel for fjording.

with kia's, just slap the shifter over to sports mode and pretend it's turbo lag when the inertia knocks you back in your seat.

Change the oil

Lies and slander. Having all of the torque specs and capacities along with basic removal orders in one handy place cannot be bad. Also, using electronic manuals while repairing a car is a pain in the ass.

Fair enough but the one for my newest car is hot garbage that has QR codes for you to look almost anything past that. I don't like electronic manuals either but what to do but buy a printer?

They are possessed by demons.

they don't even take apart cars anymore.
I had a Haynes manual for a Colorado i5 and it used pictures from one side of a V10.

This is actually very handy, especially for minivans. Feds like midnight navy or black to make people disappear forever.
