I forgot to mention the oil filter was an Ultra made by Fram. Thank You, Bill

I will take a guess as to your tbn on your uoa when it comes back. 2.1 or 2.2 . My tbn on a uoa that I had coming back after 21,700 miles was 1.9. This uoa was on a 2008 Toyota Sienna with the 3.5 v6. The oil was Mobil1 5w-30 ep.

He should get a Toyota Avalon and just be done with all of these repairs. The critic will keep the Avalon running just fine.

This is a GREAT tradition!! SUPER FUNNY!

I'll tell you about what ATF I use for my vehicles. I use WS in my 2008 Toyota Sienna. It has over 375,000 miles and I have it changed every 50,000 miles. It is the original transmission and engine. I also have 4 Mercedes that I use Amsoil Transmission fluid in them. The 1983 240D has a manual...

I have a friend who drives his Toyota Celica 3000 miles per year. He lives 20 miles from work so his car always got his oil up to operating temperature. He drove his pickup truck most of the time. That truck he drove about 10,000 miles per year. He used Mobil 1 5w-30 ep oil along with a Mobil1...

Maybe a Mercedes 123 or 126 could be your forever vehicle. Plenty of parts are available, they are a safe vehicle, and with good care, they will last forever. I have had both a 123 (240d) and a 126 (300sd) for 9 years. The 240d was a DD for 8 years until I retired last year. Really good on fuel...

I felt bad for Penn State. There went their playoff chances. I really like their coach. Maybe he will take the USC or the LSU job. The Illinois coach is really good too though. If he can get some really good linemen to go there they will much better and will have chances to get to the Big Ten...

The 15w-40 Delvac Super 1300 is a semi synthetic. It's cold pour point is-33c. I looked up the Mobil 15w-40 Delvac Extreme that is a full synthetic and it's pour point is the same at -33c!! It does have a higher TBN 10.6 to the semi syn's 9.6. Do you think it's worth an extra 6 or 7 dollars a...

Hello Harry J! YOU are my Honda Hero!! The way you take care of your Honda is the best. I remember when I went to a stockholders meeting of Berkshires Hathaway ( of Warren Berkshire fame) and Warren Buffet said "just imagine if you could only have one car in your life, just how well you would...

The Grand Canyon and really bad football here in Tucson. Never been to the Rose bowl. We just say next year maybe.

Don't forget your Hogs!! They are playing some really good football!

HELLO! 2008 Toyota Sienna. 371109 miles. Water pump replaced at 327,000 miles, Fuel pump replace at 337,000 miles. Replaced idler pulleys and serpentine belt and tensioner at 250,000 miles. Change out the oil every 20,000 miles for peace of mind. Oil used is Mobil one 5w-30 ep with a Fram Ultra...

That is why you would do a uoa. That would tell you what is what with your oil. I would use a uoa no matter what oil was in the truck. If you would read what I told you, I NEVER said all oils would wear equally. I just did not think the oil would not be worn out in 5,000 miles. Have you done a...
