I lost a bet with a coworker on Sunday. I had Yuki Tsunoda finishing within the top seven at Suzuka. Now this happened. I have to actually wear this Invicta for an entire week. Worst bet of my life lol

This 3.5 calls for 0w20 from Toyota, however there are a lot of people from other forums that swear by 5w30. Follow the book, or go rogue?

I've used Maxlife ATF with much success in multiple vehicle types. I see that the Extended Protection covers a lot of the same fluids like Honda, Toyota, Mercon LV, etc. Would you chose one over the other??

I just purchased a new-to-me 2022 Tacoma with 20k. It is a TRD OFF ROAD auto. I purchased my '11 Ram 1500 5.7 new, and have driven it since. Definitely got my money out of it. I've had the Tacoma for less than a week, and so far I really like it. Just wondering if there any things I...

3rd Gen Taco calls for 75w85 gear oil, front & rear. Should I throw the 75w90 I have in it, or order the "correct" fluid? New to Toyotas. Thanks!

Hello all! I am considering purchasing a new/used vehicle. Originally I was going to put $10k down, and finance the remainder. My CU rate would be 5.5%. The dealer banks are over 6%. Then I thought about the possibility of taking a 401k loan instead of going through the CU. My thinking...

Has anyone tried doing a piston soak with BG EPR? People seem to have good results when following the instructions, and it seems to be good and cleaning stuck rings. Would it be worth doing a piston soak with?

I was driving to work in the snow this morning, and started thinking about the 4WD system in my truck. Are they all the same when it comes to winter driving? Are some systems "better" than others? Not talking about advanced AWD systems, just regular 4WD systems in pick up trucks.

Today I saw some Toro and Briggs & Stratton 5w30 "Winter Oil" for small engines. Is there anything different about these oils than a standard 5w30? Are they possibly saying 10w30 summer use, 5w30 winter use?

This came off an F-150 3.5 EcoBoost. At first I thought it was a Premium Gard filter, but this one has a nice wire mesh backed media. Very little info on the Service Champ website. Anyone familiar with these? They look nice. Had a silicone ADBV also (not in the picture)

Vehicle calls for a M1-113A filter, when I interchange that to CarQuest Premium, it shows 84060 with a bypass setting of 12-15psi. If I look it up by application from Advance, it shows 95140 with a bypass setting of 25psi. The filter size is nearly identical. Does it really matter which one...

This is a Magnefine inline Trans/Power Steering filter. It was installed on the return of a power steering system for 185k. Vehicle has seen several P/S fluid exchanges over it's life, but this is the first time for the filter being removed. I was expecting to see "more" in here. The black...

I have a vehicle that P/S fluid is leaking from this "plug" oppositie the input shaft. I'm assuming here is simply an O-Ring sealing it. Is it as easy as removing that and replacing the O-Ring?

We were working on a Lexus which needed a new converter. Ordered up a Walker. The quality on these is SO bad. I remember at one point in time the Walker exhaust brand was considered to very good. This would not fit if your life depended on it. Ended up ordering a Magnaflow for $100 more...

Rural King has Providence Synthetic oil for $15.99/5qt Jug. 0w20, 5w20, 5w30, 10w30. Does anyone know anything about it? Not sure if it is their house brand or what, https://www.ruralking.com/providence-automotive-oil-full-synthetic-5w20-5-quart-pa-5205s

Just wondered if there are any KJ or KK owners out there. I was wondering why the KJ feels so much "quicker" than the KJ being that they basically use the same powertrain? I know the KK is a little heavier, but these vehicles feel night and day different when driving around the city.

I was wondering why some engines catch a considerable more oil in a catch can installed between the PCV system? From what I have seen in person, a 5.3l GM seems to catch quite a bit more oil than a 3.5l EcoBoost. My personal 5.7l Hemi seems to be somewhere in-between at similar intervals. I...

This is a 4k run on an '09 Vue 3.6l that a friend just purchased. Has 134k on it. This was M1 0w40 + a bottle of Rislone. Some serious carbon in this guy. Seems like a good cleaning combo.

Does the coolant in the reservoir ever circulate through the cooling system? Not a surge tank setup, but a radiator with cap and overflow hose that goes into a separate reservoir. Similar to this picture.

Good idea to run VR1 10w30 in my Honda 190 and 200 small engines?
