    2024 Tundra engine OCI plan

    Watch this video first. It's a bit long, Personally, I'd cancel that plan and stick to 5k oil changes. I'd also use 0w-30 instead of 0w-20.

    Purolator Tech TL12222 (Made in China) Cut Open

    It's used to avoid dry startups since the OEM filter doesn't have an anti drain back valve and after 30 mins most of the oil drains back into the sump. With this adapter there is oil still in the filter and the adapter has a check valve preventing the filter from becoming dry.

    What are NEMA 6-20 250V receptacles used for?

    I hate when it takes that much effort to remove an oil filter. $20 is a cheap price for an oil change, but I'd spend double that to DIY. Too many hacks out there to cause more damage and deny it. I can't put a price on peace of mind.

I used to use a torque wrench when installing the regular drain plugs with aluminum crush washers. I'd set the torque to 21 ft lbs and...

    Is this LCA shot?

    Check all the connections on the suspension. I was having a terrible clunking noise on my dodge caravan when i was going over some bad roads. I thought it was stabilizer bar being loose. Ended up being a loose nut on one of the stabilizer bar end links.

    Florida Real Estate Advice

    If you lookup Florida real estate on YouTube, you'll find so many videos of insurance costs becoming too expensive with large deductibles (20k-25k). Many insurance companies pulling out of Florida. I wouldn't move there even if the house was free.

    Installed New P/S Pump = Stiff Steering at Low Speeds

    Can you rebuild the original or get one from a wreckers? Had that issue with my Sienna, the rebuilt one was junk. Got another used one and was fine.
