Thanks, I found the catalog on their site by Googling Amsoil and g3000. http://www.amsoil.com/products/oil_airfilters/2006Catalog.pdf

I need to replace my aging SDF10 filter. Amsoil's website helpfully suggests both the EAO09 and the EAO10 as replacements, but doesn't say what the difference is between them. I'm also thinking of going with an oversized filter such as the SDF84. According to Amsoil's website, that filter does...

So I installed a bypass filter a couple years ago, and the filter itself works great, but when I drilled the hole for the return line I drilled it slightly too big, about 1/16th of an inch. Lately, this has resulted in a very small oil leak coming from the hole. I'm very reluctant to do any more...

If the Tacoma does call for T-IV, you might try AMSOIL as a replacement. That's what I've got in my Toyota, which also calls for T-IV, and it seems to be working great. [ September 11, 2003, 10:53 PM: Message edited by: alexiskai ]

Hmm, my Toyota 1.8L 1ZZ-FE mandates iridium plugs.

You could also try installing a gauge of some sort on the inflow line to tell you whether there's oil moving through it. You might be able to put it on the return line - it wouldn't work on mine because the filter is pretty small and the flow is weak normally.

Ah, it brings a tear to my eye... See also this thread: http://theoildrop.server101.com/cgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=000544 or http://theoildrop.server101.com/cgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=000962 or...

Some quotes about the 2ZZ-GE engine: "The 2ZZ-GE is a 1.8L (1796cc) all-aluminum in-line 4 equipped with Toyota's VVTL-i technology and a refreshing peformance G head design, developed once again in collaboration with Yamaha. The 2ZZ block is bored out from the 1ZZ's 79mm to 82mm, and the...

The 2ZZ-GE is a VVTL engine - variable valve timing and lift. The "lift," which I think means the valves are open longer, occurs only at the very top of the powerband. So when 2ZZ-GE owners are racing, they sometimes try to stay over 7K RPMs all the time, downshifting as much as necessary, in...

Russ's responses are interesting to me because I drew completely different conclusions from the testing. I haven't looked to see whether "the opening statements of the test say that they assume that a more restrictive filter, is filtering better," but what I looked to the tests for was a...

I'm using the OilGuard too. Oil analyses have shown that it's definitely working. Whether it works better than the TP filters I don't think anyone can say for certain. I don't know what kind of vehicle you have, but you should definitely identify the location of the filter in order to find a...

I think he's thinking you're keeping the volume constant. So if X ml of gas goes into the cylinder every time, some proportion of X is fuel and some is additives. If you increase the amount of additives, the ratio of additives to fuel in any given milliliter will go up and thus the amount of...

So what should I do if the closest Chevron station is 30 miles away? Who else is good with additives?

Maybe it'd be under mineral oil or petroleum.

You wouldn't even have to glue it, would you? Just rig up something like a hot plate and mount it on a stand that's the right height so you can just slide it under the car to where it contacts the bottom of the oil pan. Then leave it on low heat overnight and pull it out in the morning.
