I have used many cleaners/conditioners for leather over the years. Leatherique, Meguires, BMW, Autoglym etc. The best result in my opinion is to use warm water with a small amount of pure soap formulated for woolens/delicates and apply with a terry toweling cloth then buff off with a dry cloth...
I currently use Redline in the drive trains of my 2 Toyotas. In future I am going to use Amsoil as it is just slightly more than HALF the price of the Redline equivalent.

I bought my Corolla Wagon August 2006, used Havoline 10W-30 dino to change at 1k, 2.5k miles then Castrol synthetic Edge 5W-30 at 5k miles and change now at 3k oil & filter , now have 18k miles. Changed manual gearbox oil to Redline MT90 GL4 at 5k miles then at 10k miles and will change every 2...
I have a 2005 Kluger/Highlander awd and do a drain/refill every year. Do not intend to drop the pan at all, the filter is just a screen type and the Toyota shop manual makes no mention of the need to clean or replace. I also wonder what the life of the tranny is, I hope as long as the car as I...
I use at the moment Redline gear oils in the transmissions, tfr case and diff of my 2 Toyotas. However it is time for scheduled change and I note that the Amsoil equivalents are just over half the cost of Redline here in Australia (USA prices are about the same) Is Redline worth the extra or...
I have a Kluger/Highlander and also do a drain /refill at 20k kms/12k miles which has been 4.3 liters for the 4 times I have done it. Would like to go to Amsoil but it is very expensive and I feel would be of no benefit to my Kluger in view of the service the transmission receives.

The Redline 75W-90 GL5 gear oil I use in my Toyota Kluger/Highlander tfr box and diff comes out hardly discolored at 10k miles oci. It has 48k miles at the moment.
I also use Redline 75W-90 MT90 GL-4 gear oil in the manual transmission of my Toyota Corolla (18k miles) and this is also hardly...
Sprintman - I tried to get Energy 5W-30 a year or so ago without success and I e-mailed Caltex to find out where I could get it. Their reply was that it was discontinued. Never seen it at all on my travels.

I have given up on Mobil 1 because it is too expensive and in my opinion poor value. I now use Castrol Edge 5W-30 in my 2 Toyotas at one third of the price of Mobil. I know my engines will not suffer with the Castrol.

Well I have an expensive model I bought and used in UK a couple of years ago. It is powered by my air compressor, I used it 3 or 4 times and never use it now nor intend to. It was slow to use and I found it clumsy. Normal drain plug for me now.

I have 2 Toyotas. 2005 Klger/Highlander V6 - 43000 miles no faults or warranty work. 2006 Corolla 15000 miles no faults or warranty work. Without doubt the best built cars I have owned in my 42 years of car ownership (including several BMW and Volvo models)
