Thanks guys, I already bought it and just took the plunge. So far I don't hear any extra noises from the engine. Smooth and quiet. Feels good. I'll watch it closely to see if I'm losing any oil. As long as the back spec's are legit I should be fine, hopefully!

Hi folks, Picked up a 2004 Sienna. I've driven it 4k miles. Hardly any oil loss and the oil is still clean. Doing a first to me OC. I've read that Toyota has back spec'd this vehicle to 0W20, 0W25. Oil cap says 5W30. Is it worth trying to get a little better fuel mileage by going to the lighter...

Imo, I'd just stick with a Filtermag

Yeah, I basically told him that's exactly what I'd do... I said bro you've spent about a hundred bucks a month for her walk away and get a cheque for fifty bucks for scrap metal...

Roommate has an '02 Cruiser with high mileage. He bought it at an auction for five hundred bucks a half a year ago. He was driving home when he heard a 'pop' and the engine died. After pulling over the engine will turn over. We're checking the relays and fuses now and waiting for an obd2 reader...

Brake jobs are like any other vehicle with lots of available options. Basically an hour to hour and a half job. If your friend does pull the trigger it would be a good idea to clean the hybrid battery cooling fan out so that it is running optimally to cool the battery down on hot days. There...

Sounds like a good deal. Used hybrid batteries are not that expensive. It's very rare where I live for a hybrid battery to go bad, but I live up north. Virginia should be a decent climate for a hybrid battery but you always have to have some available cash on hand just in case. That of course...

Where would the world be without cat videos?

Thanks for all the input guys. Not so concerned about putting new tires up front any longer which I will be doing. Either Xi3, R2's, or possibly Hercules Avalnche R G2's which are supposedly made by Nokian and are actually Hakkapeliitta R's... I wonder what would happen if you were to put...

Going to be using Good Year Ultra Grip Ice on the rear of the car with about 75% tread still remaining. The other two were on the front last winter and I don't want to use them as they are less than 30% tread. I'd like to buy two new Michelin Xi3 and put them on the front. Assuming there'd be no...

I've got 300k Kms... One repair, besides rear brakes, front still original, Had to change the coolant control valve which I did myself, the part being about eighty bucks. I drive it as a courier/pizza delivery car... This thing is a tank, never owned anything like it as far as durability. The...
