    2005 Toyota Highlander 2.4L filter options

    I just wanted one from Walmart since I’ll be headed there. I know not to buy the orange Frams. I do 5k mi OCI’s on this car which is driven short distances quite a bit.

    2005 Toyota Highlander 2.4L filter options

    I can’t find anymore 4386 filters at my local Walmart. I only see the smaller 4967 filter. Has anyone here used a bigger alternative in this specific car?

    Best 5w30 Synthetics From Walmart

    Yea I see all the advertised 20k mile intervals. Of course I would never do that, but even within my short OCI’s would those protect any better for the minimal $2 difference?

    Best 5w30 Synthetics From Walmart

    I see just about every oil brand at Walmart carrying “Advanced” or “Extended Performance” nowadays. The price differences are very minimal. Now I don’t let any of my cars go beyond 5k mile OCI’s or once a year OCI’s for the rarely driven cars. Can someone school me a bit on these new “Advanced”...

    Picked up another Foxbody Mustang

    They’re definitely up there in price. I see some really nice Foxes going for more than even the latest Mustang body styles.

    Picked up another Foxbody Mustang

    I’ll probably be cruising this only 2-3 times a month. I’m in northern California. It does get hot here during summers for sure!

    Picked up another Foxbody Mustang

    Ok so my Fox bug just keeps biting 😭 Now there’s two cars I’ve always wanted, a 4 Eye 85/86 Notchback and an 03/04 Cobra so this one was definitely a must have for me. It has the best of both worlds 😁 The body I love most and a Terminator drivetrain with a few upgrades making 530 WHP. Although...

    Any y’all putting magnets on your filters?

    I figure it can’t hurt anything. Just a little added time sliding them on/off lol. If they use magnets on drain plugs and tranny pans, so why not. I see alot of videos where they did actually catch stuff. And they’re dirt cheap/reusable too!

    Any y’all putting magnets on your filters?

    I do have the GoldPlug drain plug on majority of the cars as well 😂

    Any y’all putting magnets on your filters?

    I bought some pretty strong magnets cheap on Amazon. I put 6 of them on. Think this is overkill? I figure it couldn’t hurt right?

    What would you rather have on the bottom of your oil pan?

    It might thread in the same length of the original drain plug, but it’ll sit in the same spot permanently. So I wonder if it stick up a bit from the bottom of the pan so there might be some oil left compared to removing the plug

    We just picked up a brand new 2022 Crosstrek Limited. Few Q’s y’all

    I’ll keep to my 5k OCI’s

    What would you rather have on the bottom of your oil pan?

    That’s what’s holding me back on the valve type. Exactly how far does it thread into the oil pan? Might be some build up around it or worse doesn’t completely drain everything like removing the plug

    Pretty much babied it thruout the time while going thru all the gears manually and letting the engine decelerate in the gears. Haven’t took it to redline yet. Seems to sound the same as it was new… Ours came with that black Japanese filter as well, not that blue USA made/disguised orange can of...

    Ok I dumped the oil and filter at 2,548 mi. I spoke to a good friend of mine who’s been a Porsche technician for the last 2 decades at a very reputable dealership in the Peninsula here in NorCal. He said 1-2k miles is a good time change it out. His current build is an 800HP Audi RS3, previous...

    What would you rather have on the bottom of your oil pan?

    https://goldplug.com/ I’ve been using these GoldPlug magnetic drain plugs with aluminum and copper crush washers on a few of our cars. I never torque drain plugs too hard. 15-25ft-lbs is plenty. They have been great so far, always cleaning off some tiny particles during each drain. Really strong...

    What would you rather have on the bottom of your oil pan?

    Easy peezy oil changes with the Fumoto drain valve or tiny bit of added protection with a magnetic drain plug?? 😂
