Was there a news story some time back, that quietly went away, that United Technologies was in discussion with 3 different places I believe to relocate their headquarters out of East Hartford? I may be thinking of another corporate entity but UTC sticks in memory on this one.

I have performed that task on a few 7th generation (-03 to 07) L4 and V6 Accords. The 4's are easy and straight forward, V6's are another animal. Not difficult, but it does take longer on the rear bank, big arms can be a hindrance on that particular task. Was there a noticeable difference? The...

Could you get by without replacing anything except the timing belt? Absolutely. Over the years, the logic has been to replace pulleys, tensioner, water pump as applicable because the same amount of downtime/teardown and labor is required for any and all of those components. There is an old...

The Tacoma in my signature had 4600's from the factory. I don't haul anything more than tree branches or tow anything above a small utility trailer to the dump; but my 4600's always seemed soft and under equipped for the job of a truck shock. The day I put a set of Bilstein 5100's on my truck...

We have the '14 Accord with CVT and H and A Honda has cases of 12 qt HCF-2 CVT fluid for about $116 - $118 delivered. Shipping does raise the total per qt cost but you get 3 drain and fills from a case and you have an invoice for your maintenance records for warranty purposes. Look HERE

My Grandfather lived in Kechi, KS and worked for Boeing in Wichita during WW2 building wings and horizontal stabilizers for B-17's and later B-29 components. I wish I could ask him if he remembers this tail number but he has been in the great aircraft assembly factory in the sky for a long time...

You can do a couple of drain and refills with Toyota or Aisin WS fluid with 4-500 miles in between and you can get the bulk of the old fluid and particulate matter out and refresh the additives. Filter is only a fine mesh screen so no big deal if you don't want to do a pan drop. Double check you...

A lot of Toyota's spec Dex III for power steering fluid

If you have a V6 in that Sienna, I think there is a block drain on each side...firewall side is closer to the driver and the front side is on passenger side. look for a fitting that has a 10mm brass plug in the center and a 90 degree tube that come off the bottom. You can get some clear tubing a...

Here is a cross reference document from Aerosuppliesinc.com Cross Reference PDF I was a helicopter crew chief once upon a time, I remember when we transitioned from 5606 to 83282...didn't sole the leaks - LOL.

Thank you for the update!

I did use the block drains, 1 on each side. Toyota did that part well on this V6 block; passenger side is on the rear part and easy to see, driver's side is on the front part of the block and is a little bit of an adventure through the wheel well but can be worked with. There is a brass colored...

This sample is from the factory fill. Unless during the TSB trans reflash the dealer did a drain and fill service (wasn't documented). This particular dealer is on thei 3rd name change since my vehicle purchase. I have my doubts on that service because when I drained, dropped the pan, R2 the...

I did try Redline D4 for a little while but the trans didn't feel quite right with it. Maybe it was software related with the reflash that Toyota did early on. D4 was recommended to me by Dave at Redline over their D6 but it seemed thicker and changed the shift characteristics more than I really...

The maintenance minder did show the "3" for trans fluid service but it was between 28-29K if I remember. I reset it; I will have to look in the owner's manual again for where I saw the 30K recommendation. I had already committed to 3 each 10K mile drain and fills for the first 30K miles; just as...

I will call it normal service, I didn't haul anything heavier than a few small tree branches or tow anything but did do quite a bit of highway driving. No off road abuse or mistreatment. I did have the Toyota TSB transmission reflash done at just under 20K miles if my memory serves me. I can say...

On the VOA sample the 100C viscosity was 7.1 cSt; the UOA came back with a 5.7 cSt. When I had both sample bottles side by side the viscosity differences were definitely visible when doing the "swirl" test visually. I know it's not the most scientific but the used fluid was noticeably thinner...

Factory fill of Toyota WS fluid from my Tacoma taken at 40,940 miles. I did a pan drop in association with this sample and replaced the filter assy. which is just a glorified fine mesh screen, not a fiber/barrier type element. I also did the cooler line exchange method after reassembly. I don't...
