Just purchased a 95 T100 4x4 with 207,000 miles. Auto-Rx with basic oil vs. Pennzoil Platinum 5w30 vs. Mobil 1 High mileage 5w30 Working on cleaning up the automatic transmission on another thread. I used Auto-Rx in the past on my 93 Civic to try to fix the rear main seal. Didn’t work so I...

Well the prior owner claimed the timing belts was changed and that maintenance had been performed on time. Other than engine oil and oil filters.... none of that happened. His excuse was they were moving and the records were packed up. I was able to pull limited maintenance records off the...

Thanks for all the input. I was doing some T100 tranny over temp searches and it was a bit unnerving to say the least what I read. Not going to loose sleep or worry about it much so I'll shoot for a slow and steady clean with more change outs. And possibly use some auto-rx near the end to...

I just got my owners manual off feebay and there is a transmission over temperature dash light that will come on. Sounds like a tranny cooler would be a wise move. Hoping to get many hassle free miles out of it. Truck will see much duty pulling single axle 6x12 enclosed trailer for my lawn...

Thanks cor all the input. Manual says upto 2.1 quarts total. From what I can tell no other way to drain. Transmission functions perfectly except for locking and engagement into Park solidly ...? Had it roll back on me once in park and I'm not sure if that is a mechanical or sludge issue yet...

Just bought a Toyota T100 3.4 VA [the preferred 5RZ engine not the 3.0 RZ that I have in my 91 4runner] with auto tranny. 207,000 miles. 2nd owner basically neglected maintenance and lied about maintenance being performed on time except for oil changes. Only reason I bought the truck is engine...

Do you have any evidence of oil leaking around the rear main seal? I have a 290,000 mile 93 Civic and 98 Civic HB that both suffer from rear main seal leaks. I've used Auto-Rx - probably did some good but the tired rear main seals are the issue. I use Bars rear main seal stop leak works fairly...

Thanks for the input everybody will check them out. Some would argue [wife included] the truck 85 Toyota is not worth bothering with just let it go already. Current as is value is probably $2,500 for the right buyer as is. I use the truck for my lawn & garden business and it's my roughest...

Looking for recommendations for Toyota owners Internet forums that would cover my 1985 4x4 22R and to a lesser degree my 91 4runner 3.0 V6. Especially interested in forums that tend to cater to the following: Older Toyota corrosion control - truck bed is lost cause but cab and frame are...

**update** I still have the 22R Toyota Truck and it has a hard life towing a 6x12 enclosed trailer. Clutch finally went out, head gasket blew and timing chain was replaced by a Toyota Specialty shop. I did run another application of Auto-Rx and that did for time seem to slow down consumption...

I've been using Opti 2 - two stroke oil for the last year. Works for both air cooled and TCW3. I use it professionally in my Lawn & Garden biz in both air cooled and 2-stroke snow blowers calling for TCW3. They claim to be the highest rated oil on the planet for 2-stroke for ALL applications...

Year #5 in the lawn biz here. The uncool secret is frankly sticking with smaller properties for residential. Depending on your area you might have all but large estate properties but anyhow margins are better going smaller and put the biggest mower through the gates as possible. My biggest mower...

I sure would like to know what model # of Toro that your neighbor has? Sounds like it is not functioning like it should? The paddles are fairly high wear ... and when they wear down past a certain point they don't work well. I suspect this is the case or some other issue. I own the Toro 421QR...
