Radio is dead. It's all the same songs, or constant repeats of whatever new pop trash is out. I use spotify, but apple music/google play/etc. all offer the same service, any music you want, no advertising, and great suggestions based on what you're listening to. I've found more new music I...

I just did the oil in mine, put STP hydraulic oil from autozone in. The old fluid came out clear and new looking, but this jack is older than I am and its been at least 15 years since it saw maintenance of any kind. Greased it while I was at it. It's an old astroline, 2 ton. From the 80s i...

Cartridge. I've got the underside mounted toyota cartridge and once I got the wrench for the housing it was super easy to change. I can find em for comparable price to canister. ($4 a piece for toyota oem, even less if I buy a pack) My brothers Chrysler has a top mounted one and that is a treat...

09 Corolla 1.8 Out- Toyota SLLC In- Toyota SLLC Part of a water pump replacement. The small bypass/overflow hose broke off on the plastic connector while it was hot the next day, sprayed me with coolant so another 1/4 gallon went in after that. Kicking myself for not noticing the worn part the...

No need for a high mileage oil unless you have some seal leaks, I'd bet you can use any synthetic 0W20 and that engine will outlive the rest of the truck. I'd go with M1 because of the $12 rebate, get 4 5qt jugs for $10 a piece! Try two AFE two EP and see what your butt dyno likes more.

Wow thank you for all that information on Valvoline Pabst Blue Ribbon I'm sold, consumption isn't terrible right now but the engine is old enough to justify a good cleaning. It was neglected running cheap conventional earlier in it's life. I've never seen an oil actually clean like that.

That Valvoline Restore oil sure looks interesting! I just might have to give that a try, should I run a more robust filter if and when I use it? I am currently using the Toyota 04512-YZZA6. Knowing this engines notoriety for stuck rings, and my less than stellar maintenance history (I only...

Originally Posted by ka9mnx 5w-30 would be a fine choice. But not for oil consumption unless it's slipping past the rings. It may be slipping by the rings, maybe this change will give me some information! If consumption goes down I'll assume I've got some carboned up oil control rings and look...

Thank you for your advice. I'm a ways off from my next OCI but I'll try to update the thread once i get the new oil in. Likely going to be M1HM because there's a $12 rebate, which is my primary decision maker on what brand I use.

Originally Posted by StevieC Considering the leak, the mileage and the consumption a 30wt might be a good move however just to be sure it's not PCV related has this been replaced with an OEM one? Yes it has, at 163k I did the PCV and intake manifold gasket. Consumption didn't change after and...

I have a 09 Corolla with the 1.8 2ZR-FE engine, 170k miles. I've been running 20 weight oil(always synthetic), and am seeing about 1qt every 2500 miles of oil consumption. I've been using high mileage oils (pennzoil and valvoline) for a minor leak, which has just about stopped. Would a jump up...

I'm curious as to how long KneeGrinder could go without buying oil, counting his equipments oil needs. 3 years? 5? Awesome collection.
