Confirmed, it is the U660E, says so right on the little sticker in the driver's door. That's helpful to know. Probably don't need to factor that into the decision then.

I believe that's correct, but don't quote me an that...

Ahh, that actually brings up another reason I was considering the replacement. Best I can tell these transmissions actually have a filter medium for the filter instead of the more traditional screen. I'm not sure what type of medium or what the filtration rate is or anything but the medium...

It's about time to change the transmission fluid in the 2013 Sienna. Did a flush when we bought it (almost 90,000 miles back) and completely exchanged al fluid with the BG Transmission fluid. Been doing a simple drain and fill ever since. Changing the filter doesn't seem to be a standard part of...

Well, I stopped in today to pickup the TansMax Full Synthetic multi-vehicle and they didn't have any so I ended up picking up the gallon jug of the Valvoline Dexron VI (full synthetic). I feel like that's still a good option. Thanks all for your input.

Thanks everyone for you're input. Seems that my questions are answered. The on sale Transmax import would work but it is a synthetic blend so not really what I'm looking for. I'm kind of leaning toward going with the Castrol Transmax Full Synthetic multi-vehicle. That's what I use in the Sienna...

At the risk of raising a topic that has been discussed many times...alas I still have a few questions about which transmission fluid to use in my old 2001 Chevy Prism that calls for Dexron III. I've read many of the discussions here and gathered that: 1.) Any Dexron VI fluid is a correct...

The 0W20 runs off the dipstick as you pull it out. So when it's out you can actually see the reading changing on the dipstip. Then when you wipe it stick it back in and pull it out again the dipstick has oil all up and down it from what ran off on the first pull plus you can see the reading...

Thanks everyone this is really helpful input. Just leaving the 5W30 in there was really what I was leaning toward. I'm really questioning if they actually changed the clearances in the engine between 2010 and 2011 or if they just finished whatever certification they do to that confirms that the...

I bought a 2013 Toyota Sienna back in May and it came with two "free" oil changes. The drive back to the dealership was a little far but I decided hey why not take them up on the "free" oil change. The van calls for a 0W20 but when I got home from the service yesterday I realized that the...

Originally Posted by ka9mnx ...If you got a "free" warranty, it was rolled into the vehicle price. Yeah, that was sort of my assumption as well. I checked the Edmunds and Kelly Blue Book values and the asking price matched or was lower than the listed values, I even negotiated them down some...

Originally Posted by mahanddeem That warranty and company are BS. 99% of them are. They just give you millions of reasons not to cover anything. Last 2 car purchases had 2 dealers trying to scam me into getting then for monthly payments and it was a HARD no for that. Yeah, this is definitely a...

Well it's been pretty busy around here but in the mist of it I've finally ironed out all the details on the warranty. It turns out there were three more pages to the warranty document that were accidentally omitted from my take home packet. Those pages spell out all the details. I was also able...

Thanks everyone for the input, super helpful. I'm thinking I'll probably go with the OEM filter and feel pretty good with any synthetic 0W20 that's a reasonable price. We'll see what I can dig up on the "free" forever warranty, it will be really sweet if that's legit. Thanks again for the input!

Originally Posted by Slick17601 I've owned 2 of these engines and I could only get an accurate reading after sitting overnight. Yeah, that seems like a really good way to handle this engine. I've found three ways to get a decent reading that seem to work for me. First pull after sitting over...

Oh, and I forgot to mention that after the purchase I kept thinking that the oil level looked overfull. It's very hard to check on this van, just runs right off the dipstick, and remnants from the tube run onto the dipstick, so there's oil all up and down the stick and ya get a different reading...

Ok so here's the scoop on the warranty. During the negation and paperwork finalization the sales guy showed me a really detailed document on what was covered. Basically anything engine and transmission. I expected that paper to be included in the packet I took home but it wasn't. all i had in my...

I recently bought a 2013 Toyota Sienna with 95,000 miles on it. The manufacturer recommended maintenance plan calls for 0W20 with 10,000 mile OCI. I've been doing some searching and it looks like the 2GRFE engine is pretty happy with a number of different brands and weights. I'm thinking I'll...

Any one have any thoughts on the wired vs wireless? I'm still thinking for this application wired makes the most sense. We can just buy the longer wires to make connection from the front to the back of the bus and then from the back of the bus to the back of the trailer.

Thanks, I'll have to check out the crimestopper brand. I took a quick look at the site today. Looks like they have quite a few options on there.
