    Toyota used wrong oil filter, how bad is it?

    Dealership changed my oil even though I specifically said I did not want an oil change and to only perform an alignment and wheel balance on my 2022 4Runner. They didn’t even disclose to me that they changed the oil and I discovered it had been done the next day when I checked underneath my...

    Do I need primer when using touch up paint?

    I have some paint that flaked off on the inside of my door and want to touch it up with some doctor color chip touch up paint that I have. Since rust has formed, I abraded the area down to bare metal that measures about 1/4 inch by 1/2 inch. Do I need some sort of primer or am I good to just...

The torque spec for the drain bolt is 36 ft-lb and I imagine they install the drain bolt on a new axle assembly dry. When service by the differential, the fluid coats the threads as it drains...

    Metal shavings on dipstick, any harm done? (Mostly concerned about oil pump)

    I have a new 2022 4Runner with 500 miles on it. I decided to change the oil at 500 miles to help get rid of any debris from the engine breaking in. When I went to check the level of the oil after refilling it, I noticed there were some metal shavings on the tip of the dip stick. After fooling...

    How long does oil protect surfaces on startup?

    How long does the residual oil in the engine protect the internal surfaces and bearings on startup? I ask because I was cleaning my car out and when I installed the floor mats I must have gotten them wedged between the brake and gas pedal. When I pressed the brake to start the truck it must have...
