Well, I'm sure there are plenty of opinions. But if you have to use the specific oil the dealer uses to keep your extended warranty in effect with them, I don't think you have much choice. I personally would use Motul 300V 4T 10w40, or 15w50. But where I live can get much hotter than Germany...

I have Redline and Motul oils shipped to me all the time. But they are packaged in larger boxes, and protected from damage with an additional layer of protection between the bottles and outer box. UPS hasn't damaged one yet. They are also marked appropriately so the package handlers know it is...

It was awesome. Something like 60,000 people there.

When you can create this masterpiece for Thanksgiving, can you blame them?

This is not intended to diminish his impact and the tremendous loss. RIP. But if I were him, I think it would be awesome if his casket resembled a flat rate box.

Having worked for a racing team sponsored by Matco, I can tell you they are made by Astro Pneumatic.

I'm going with neither. I would want a garage.

When Les was alive, I think they were decently run. Their top tire line was Toyo. A good tire. And they had fair prices, and weren't looking to gouge every customer that walked in the door. Now, they are owned by a California investment fund. They got rid of their one standout tire line in...

My glove was more dazzling, like Michael Jackson's...

I'm not a boomer (gen x), but I often wear casual clothes. Are you saying I need to stop wearing my Rat Fink T-shirts??? 🤷‍♂️

Out of curiosity, I put in my trucks info at a Carmax closest to me. Their offer, without seeing the truck, was just about what I paid for it, just over 8 years ago.

I bought our now 8 year old RAM entirely online/ over the phone. Local dealers were playing their games, and I guess didn't think I was a serious buyer, since I showed up to look at their trucks while driving my then 20 year old 4Runner. So I expanded my search to dealers across the USA. I...

Coming up on 40 years since this concert. Seems like yesterday...

Put out an invite to @AutoMechanic, he can bring fast food and DVD's. 😁

There have been some reports of '25 Tundra's still having engine bearing issues. I'm generally a Toyota fan, but I'd be leery of buying a new Tundra (or any Toyota/ Lexus with the TTV6, until reports of engine bearing issues stop.

Typo in my previous post. Toyota specs 75w (not 70w) in the T-case. Toyota speced lower viscosity oils in the drivetrain for slightly better CAFE numbers in the USA. As you noted, the same engines and drivetrains in other countries are speced for the more traditional (read higher) viscosity oils.

For some reason my above reply was only partially posted, and left off lots of detail. The Site won't let me Edit it. So just ignore it. It finally let me Edit.

Redline 75w90 in all three (diff, T-case, rear axle) of my 5th gen TRD ORP. It has the exact same Aisin VF2A transfer case that my '97 4Runner SR5 did. Toyota speced 75w90 GL4 OR GL5 in it, and nothing has changed internally. You take it to any Toyota dealer, and 9 times out of 10 you'll get...

I'll just say it again. Save your money and invest wisely.
