I saw that one on amazon... but read that the hoses are not fuel rated. but thanks for your reply.

wanted to buy a good fuel pressure tester. local part store rentals don't have quick disconnect adapters. looked thru ebay and amazon, afraid of cheap ones leaking. my current thought is to get the gauge from harbor freight (with schrader port), and an adapter by lang Tools 74492... not 100%...

Are you sure? 0w16 is recommended, no?

@1lieutenant thank you for the details. Sounds easier than waxing, I will gave it a try, $25 isn't going to break the bank.

@1lieutenant thanks for your note. What do you do with the Tec582? If I can a good layer on top of the soft clearcoat, I am game. Please teach me how to apply. Thanks.

We recently bought a Lexus rx350h that has this soft self healing clearcoat. I did not know. Just wipe a paper towel across a surface on hood and left with some fine scratches. I hate this stupid thing. If there is no scratches to begin with there is no freaking need to heal. Sigh... how do...

If the battery is dead the EV is just worth of scrap metal.

A fun fact of the 2000/2001 mazda MPV: it has two separate coolant temperature sensors. One goes to the dash display, and the other goes the engine computer.

the deal is done, paperwork signed. they are picking up soon. I understand they would auction off the car.

it has 223,000 (a few miles less). I mostly do my own maintenance.

Car is going to national kidney foundation.

@macarose That is one good looking minivan you have found! a gem.

Thanks for all your comments. rust-proofing: not professionally done, just surface shield spray cans.

Owned it from new, never let go till now. Kids grew up in this van, and wife and I grew old in it as well. It has been an amazing minivan for a quarter century. From San Diego to Redwood National Park; from Cape Cod to Disney World; from Adirondacks to Montreal and Toronto, it has been super...

Further reading on service manual indicated that toyotas GTS has ability to turn on and off those coolant valves, so I just need to check if my Launch can do that as well. Car is with one of my kids in west coast, and I am on east coast.

Wow. Thanks for sharing your experience. Might as well do that.

I have read thru the service manual for coolant change. The procedure by toyota involves racing engine to above 3000 rpm to place system in fill mode, and repeat 3 times. With the understanding of how the system works, I am proposing the following alternative, main reason is to avoid racing...

I have a 2025 RAV4 gas engine with EFB. Have been doing some search and reading on how to charge EFB. to be honest, I am quite confused as different sites say different things. There is no information from Toyota, only says to visit dealer. I would like to buy a changer/tender for use at home...

Chris, I am wondering about that and Google did not come up with anything. I only found that it’s likely that the threads are roll-formed instead of being cut. This increases the strength of threads. I also checked shear strength at 150 deg C, some reduction, not significant.
