That may be too simple reasoning! I know many people that are financially better that take worse care of their car (not just a Toyota) They seem to have been sucked up by this attitude of 100K everything (coolant, tuneup etc...) Those of us on bitog pretty much know better, just differing on...

I have one of these 5SFE 4 cyl sludge monster with 198K. It made it there with the atomic orange filter and 10W-30 "whatever was on sale" with 5K OCI. No problems!

On the large bottles here the only thing I see is a CCC marking on the bottom. Who blends that?

I buy as little as possible at WM because of the way they treat employees and then spout rhetoric about how they care about them. I know people that would have to spend more for their healthcare than I do, but can't afford it because of low wages. Also their purchasing tactics of agreeing to buy...

Will it work for tranny fluid, or is that what it's for?

I put 196K on my 96 Camry with 5K oil changes and the atomic orange filter. Now ST oil and filter and still no sludge. I will drive it another 100K if I can avoid any more deer collisions.

None of the domestic companies will be on par with the foreign makes until they get out of the "planned obsolescence" rut they've gotten themselves into. Yes foreign parts are higher but you don't replace them as often. And yes I own both domestic and foreign and cuss them for frequent part...

For those here that are petro chemist http://magnegas.com/ Is this real? And why hasn't more been said about it as an alternative?

Thanks for the info. I'll be going to get some ST today!

I just bought a 95 Neon and wanted to do a filter and fluid change.Nobody around here carries ATF+3, just ATF+4. I thought I read that ATF+4 is not compatible with the older seals in trannys that used ATF+3? The brands I've found are Valvoline($$$) Mopar($$) Supertech($) Which would be the best...

We used it in the Navy to clean soap scum off shower stalls. My grandfather used it to free up a siezed John Deere tractor once too. Yes, it really does work!

I just bought PlastX and applied it by hand to my 96 Camry and it cleared the lense better than my previous application of polishing compound.

I installed a motorguard parallel across my tranny lines in my 96 Camry and in less than 5k miles cannot believe the amount of crud I found in the TP. I have read in other threads that the filter change interval on trannys gets longer after the initial crud is gone.

Maybe, but it would be a PITA. I bought a new one at Auto Zone for less than anywhere else. I've found that cleaning EGR components are a very short term fix.

I have a '96 LE w/ 2.2L and had a bad hesitation. It was really bad at stoplights, sometimes dying. The knuckleheads at our local stealership charged me $95 and told me they didn't know what was wrong!?! It was the EGR valve, it wouldn't always reseat. A new one fixed the problem, but it is a...

Whenever I acquire a vehicle, the first thing I do is get the little rubber or plastic covers for the bleeders. I have never had a problem with them later. Whenever I put on a new wheel cylinder/ caliper I do as Sparkman says and coat the bleeder with a little anti-sieze (copper formula)

Just put in a set of XtraVision yesterday. It made a big difference, the old ones were 1 year old oem replacements.

For cryin out loud heartland sells PTFE additives (teflon). Which we know does no good, so how much of their other stuff is snake oil???? My wife works for a company that has all their vehicles serviced by Jiffy Lube and their contract manager complains about the cost and unecessary repairs....DUH!

I had a set in a civic and they only lasted about a year. I didn't notice that much difference in the brightness for the cost.....
