OP deserves a medal for getting 400K out of that Rav4. Job well done. I am half way there on my Toyotas.

Toll roads are true end user fee. Don't use if you don't want to pay the toll. I try to avoid all toll roads. Fair enough. When the government keeps raising your gasoline taxes without letting you vote on it is when it gets frustrating. All proposed increases for gas tax should go straight to...

The poor opportunist snowflake would want extra compensation for emotional distress. If she had a chance, she would try to drag it out in court hoping for a sympathetic judge to grant her a jackpot.

2.5L 2AR-FE was meant for full synthetic per manual 10K OCI. Your car was already messed up from the beginning if they used a conventional or a blend in that engine. Use full synth 5W-30HM or 0W-40 to reduce future consumption.

Get it while it is a steal. You won't find any comparable Civic or Corolla at that $9K price.

Agreed. A neglectful Toyota driver should be on a strict M1 EP and a Fram Ultra diet. Then check back with her a year from now. Helping her by changing the oil once a year is more than enough.

Who wants to ride a bike sharing the same roadway with auto drivers who are distracted by their cellular phone. That little bicycle helmet won't do you any good.

I don't ever give peddlers any money as they could use it to buy drugs or booze. I would buy a gift certificate for McDonald or Burger King and hand it to them.

Relax. Aging is a lot better than the alternative.

If the Toyota manual calls for 10K OCI, then go with 10K OCI using a fine Toyota full synthetic or other top-tier full synthetic. People who cut it down their OCI to 5K either have unwarranted fear or they think know better than all the Toyota engineers.

How do we know that these black particles were already inside the container when the OP put the used oil in it? Got to be skeptical of what is posted on the internet.

Now you are spreading more fake news with VOA with no labeling whatsoever and no original source. Everyone on Bitog have known that PUP has large Ca, very little Mg, and a lot more TBN than 8.1 what is shown on the above chart. Real PUP VOAs: 5W-20...

Just more garbage rebrandings by Pennzoil. Remember: (M1 or Castrol) EP=Extended Performance = good for extended drain interval of up to 15,000 miles (Pennzoil) Extended Care = good for "reducing sludge formation and increasing oxidation stability to protect against oil breakdown" Pennzoil is...
