I have an imported HiAce Turbo Diesel that I need to get the oil changed on and looking for some recommendations. Here is what the manual called for at that time: My thought was set for either Castrol Edge 0W-40 or 5W-40, or Rotella T6 5W-40 however I haven't been able to find that locally or...

Yes and no. They are federally legal to import under the 25-year rule, however some states how banned these vehicles from being registered and are now limited to off-road use only.

Yes, this was one of the only kei vans that I'm aware of with a 4-cylinder engine. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subaru_Sambar#Fifth_generation_(1990%E2%80%931999)

660cc 4 cylinder or the EN07.

Any specific recommendations in regards to the 5W-30 A3/B4?

Hello everyone, I am having a 1996 Subaru Sambar (kei van) imported from Japan and planning out the maintenance once it arrives next month, the manual indicates to use a 30W oil for multi-season use. What would be the modern equivalent to use on this car?

Hey guys, just recently picked up a new 2017 Tacoma with the rock solid 2TR-FE engine. After 2015 the engine was revised to have a dual VVT-i setup and switched to 0W-20 in the following years. I know TMC 0W-20 is good, but I'm also considering options like Mobil 1 and Castrol Magnatec.

I changed out the oil in the Escape today to a Mobil1 synthetic since it's the most easily accessibly at my work. Motorcraft FL-910S filter was used. Build date was June of 2016 and it had been sitting on the lot until I picked it up this past week. So the oil was almost at it's one year mark...

Hey guys, I recently leased a new 2017 Ford Escape Titanium with the 2.0L Ecoboost engine, twin-scroll turbo, 4WD, it's a lot of fun! This car has a feature that my 2016 Fiesta ST didn't have and that is an auto start/stop function that shuts the engine off when stopped. Now this is a lease so...

I'm wondering if the FL-400S specs are also correct, because this site shows a different pressure relief spec. http://www.filtertopia.com/filters/MOTORCRAFT%20/FL%20400S.htm

That's strange then, not quite sure where he found it then? -Matt
