    Post your Gas Mileage : Calculated

    $6 - $10 increase on oils (5qt jugs) in Walmart this morning July/2026

    Toyota’s stance on using a heavier weight oil

    Just my thought Toyota isn’t giving specific or unspecific permission to use a heavier weight of oil, but they are “telling“ you a fact that thicker oil in certain use examples may have more protection the owner of the vehicle ultimately makes the call the EPA tries to use dealers as an...

    Hybrid Oil Change Intervals (OCI)

    I run 10 k intervals in my Corolla cross hybrid. Almost 55k on it not an issue. I drive 600+ miles a week so I usually feel 10 k happens to fast. Typical drive is start and drive 56-60 miles shut down and do it again next time it starts. Definitely gets warmup up every time.

    Fun driving air filter

    Just a generic name given for the Amazon sale they were great probably won’t change the one that’s in there for 40 or 50,000 miles. Only reason I was worried was they were so tiny, but it doesn’t seem to matter. The sealing material held up fine. In fact, I’ll probably put a label on it to...

    Are Hybrids really hard on oil?

The coolant gets up...
