I can't imagine where using an oil with slightly broader viscosity (at either end) would be an issue. As you said, it was made in 1989 so the oil you want to use would be much stouter than the engineers specified. Add to that, the machine is now over 30 years old with likely looser clearances...

I just vacuum them from the front and the back, though it would depend how accessible they are. Any vac can do, so nothing special needed since it's just dust. One thing I cobbled together was an extension of the vac hose to reach well into the coils since space was tight vertically. It was a...

How much? I couldn't find the price on their web page.

My old Ranger also has the dummy 6-psi gauge. The sending unit was bad also and like yours, no leaks, etc. But it scares the heck out of you when it suddenly reads that low. Replace it with an OEM unit. The aftermarket one I got at first also went bad. And considering it's a PITA to get to, I...

Did not think of that. Have CRC brake cleaner collecting dust anyway. I did without straw=messy. Then I was like: well, obviously they figured out this is better way=still messy. Glad to hear I was right, and hope the brake cleaner helps! <img src="/forums/graemlins/cheers3.gif"...

Haven't heard of one with that dramatic an increase from a (likely) brand change but it doesn't seem unlikely given an engine with 300k on it. Curious: what kind of vehicle, and what weight Mobil 1 are you using?

I <span style="font-weight: bold">REALLY</span> like that color. If I was going to replace my '91 I'd look for one like that.

It is low, given that a lot of cars go for well north of $50k. My property damage coverage is $250k. There isn't that much difference in cost for the higher limits and I sleep better. The more likely coverage to be needed is liability, i.e., injury or death caused by an at-fault accident...

IDK about rust and corrosion due to road salt; no idea how much you encounter in VA or what is on your car in particular. There are aftermarket adjustment cams that can be bought for a lot of cars to allow camber & caster adjustments. Google camber/caster kits for that car. There would be the...

Have you tried one of the Chevy Truck forums? At the least, a first gen S-10 owner could give you that seat width and you could go from there vs. yours.

If you buy it, post pix! <img src="/forums/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="smile" title="smile" height="15" width="15" />

As I recall, Meg has two alloy wheel cleaners, one for chrome/shiny wheels and the other for more "matte" finish alloy wheels. Meg's recommends NOT using the shiny formula on matte finish if memory serves (which it doesn't always). I think the Sienna has shiny wheels so may not matter. I have...

IDK the part number, but have to wonder if one is plain, the other having charcoal in it. My Avalon had the charcoal one standard. I replaced it with plain but just went back to charcoal (just because). Both were applicable Toyota part numbers. May want to check one of the online Toyota parts...
