    tire tread depth difference

    I have a 2010 equinox. I just noticed that one tires tread is 1/16" different that the other 3 . Is this going to screw up anything. Do I need new tires or this much difference OK?

    Transfer case fluid

    I am just getting ready to change the transmission fluid on my 2010 nox. I have been told that 50,000 miles is a good mileage. Do you change the transfer case fluid then or what mileage do you do this service at?

    2010 nox rough idle

    I have a 2010 nox and love it, but it seems that it idles a little rough when it is stopped. Doesn't matter if it is in gear or neutral or if the engine is warm or not. Just wondering if they all idle a little rough, or if I should take it in to have a tech look at it?
