ND makes some of the most reliable products in the automotive/HD industry.

I have been using the Classics for years in my business. Currently I have about 30 used filters on hand. I might have a cutting party today!

I have been working on Toyota's since the late 80's. Worked as a Technician and then Service Manager at a very large and reputable dealer. I am no longer employed by a dealer as I have my own independent shop. I have always sworn by Toyota Red. I always use distilled water to make my 50/50...

I want to hear from owners that have gone 75K to 100K on Maxlife. Heck, just about any type of trans fluid will work for a mere 10 to 15K miles.

I sure do miss those 18R's, 20R's and 22RE's.

I have used the Purolator on hundreds of cars at my shop and have never had one defect on me or a customer. These are pretty good filters for the price point.

The Tacoma's are pretty much bullet proof, sounds like you had some minor little headaches. Although I do like Subbies, I hope you are not comparing the Forrester to a 4Runner? Two totally different vehicles.

2006 Lexus LS430 In/Out M1 5/30 M1-102 Oil Filter

I wonder how your clutch liked all that Moly from the Delo? I love the Delo oil but this is the 1st sample I have seen with that much Moly. Honda says do not use Moly!

Hear is my 1st and last experience with Valvoline Synthetic. Wifes car, 2001 Lexus Rx300 with 203k miles on it. Since the original oil I have always and I mean ALWAYS have used Mobile 1 10/30 with Toyota filter every 4k miles. Blackstone labs does my testing. Last month we went from Ga to Co. It...

Mr Confederate, No disrespect towards your opinion as we all have them, but I have been a Master Toyota/Lexus Tech for 15 years. I have been to classes, tech sessions etc where they have proven to us that Type IV is a different fluid than Dexron. Does the Amsoil claim that it is safe to use...

I would never use anything but T4 in a Toyota. A good friend of mine owns a trans shop. He swears it is different. He has replaced many clutch plates due to people installing the wrong fluid. Drain the tranny every 15K and put T4 back in it. You will never have a problem. My 01 RX300 has 200K on...

At least Toyota will show the Big 3 how to properly handle a problem. Chevy has known about the fragile 4l60 trans for years and wont do anything about it. I have an 04 Express van with 62K mile son it. I am now on my 3rd transmission. My Brother In Law has a very early release Tundra. It was...
