Hi All. i've got some spare Castrol Edge 5w-30 Fully synthetic which im considering using for next oil change in my toyota avensis 2AZ-FE with 205,000 kms (130 mi). The book says 5w-30 is okay, but i've only used 10w-40 and 10w-30 semi synthetic in the past as I think using the fully syn 5w-30...

Bought some second hand wheels only to return home to find this damage.... Suggestions?

So today i was driving my manual transmission and wasn't paying much attention to what was going on. As i was approaching an intersection, I shifted from fifth to second gear travelling about 35 miles/hour. (Didn't rev match) The car immediately slowed down (obviously) and the front end of the...

Does anyone keep the "Leftover" solution for their next wash? Don't feel like tipping money down the drain when the solution isn't that dirty...

looks like carbon build up to me. possibly caused by "running rich"

Yea. Magnatec 10w-40 is what i've used in another toyota of mine. However, the 5w-30 fuel saver has only been recently put up onto the shelves and Castrol Edge 5w-30 or another brand of 5w-30 is usually cheaper than the magnatec's semi-synthetic offering. This car only does around 5000km per...

Hey there, I have a Yaris that I do my own oil changes on. As many other fellow Toyota owners will see(Australia/New Zealand), in the manual it states that the car can run on many different viscocities. These include 20w-50 15w-40 10w-30 and 5w-30 Although 5w-30 or 10w-30 is the preferred...

Finally replaced today. Handtight and no leaks~

Yaris 2006 Hatchback. Manual says not to but I've done it on my Chevy Sonic just fine.

Hi everyone, I do my own tyre rotations and have recently read that I SHOULDN'T be lifting the rear of the vehicle from the Rear axle as there is a risk of bending it. Is this true? I find that the axle is always the easiest and most straight forward place to lift the rear up. I also place the...

Originally Posted By: Shannow Yeah, I bought 10L of edge 5W30, was just too good to miss. Use that, and keep an eye out for their semi-regular specials. I've got 5L of Chief 10W30 in the stash (it was $19.95 a while back which I thought was good, nothing on edge 'though)...I'm not a fan of...

The actual SCA Brand? or Ryco? My local SCA has like 10 ryco filters for every SCA branded filter..

Is this their "Repco" Brand name oil? Seems like a possibility. Although SCA also sell Synthetic "Chief Oil" 5w-30 for a similar price. But the best priced synthetic so far is SCA's promotion this weekend. 5w-30 A3/B4 Castrol Edge Titanium for $42NZD which was half price. (SCA Australia had the...

Hey everyone, New member to this forum. So I've got a Yaris . Used only a few times a week during the city and engine barely heats up before reaching destination (max 5km). Only travel longer distances (20km~) 5-10 times per year. Annual mileage would be around 4000km per year. I never let the...

Well replacing the filter is only a matter of a few dollars. I'm just wondering if theres a need for that considering it's going to be replaced in 2 months time anyway. I have had the same problem with K&N oil filter and I was Fedex'd a new one absolutely no questions asked. However, with...
