Clean oil is better than dirty oil. Thats all their is to it.

This the oil that was put in, toyota part number 00279-0w201-01. Service lady/mgr showed me it.. Bulk oil in a big drum...

I am going to ask soon as I pick it up. This will be the last time I have dealership do this. I do all my oil changes, but traveling a lot and the skid plate, jacking up issue will be resolved soon. Ps, Retired STSC(SS).

True. I will once I can jack it up safely...The 4runners skid plate needs to come off. It hook into the frame a little. I am going to take it in to the hobby shop next oil change and take the plate off, cut the tabs that hook it. Then I can take skid plate straight off without have to jack the...

I did read my manuals, as usual. Only special conditioms I drive my 4runner is to amd from work, back roads 20 miles each way. Ford and Jeep are for rest of errands. Regardless, reading comprehension,.post 5, never stated I go 10k. All I asked was about synthetic blend available in 0w20. So...

I was referring to the shop where you buy parts. And i've seen the barrels in the back in service section. I know toyota does not make their own

I dont presume anything. But, thw dealer has bottles and barrels that say Toyota on them. Good marketing

I was concerned that the blend wasnt true. As long as it meets Toyota requirements, then its okay. Their synthetic, which is standard, is 10k mile intervals. I do 5 K mile intervals regardless.

Dealership quoted me two prices, one for full synthetic, and one a blend. Is the dealership blowing smoke at me?. I didnt realize there is a blend for my 2019 4runner.

My 93 Corvette has a rebuilt 396LT1. Low tension oil rings. Ported heads, manifold and larger injectors. Other than that, a simple catch can with a coalescing filter in line with PCV . But, I have about 20000 miles on this, and have used mostly Mobil 1. Its always black at 5000 miles when I...

Its not the rear main. Transmission access cover to flexplate was taken off today, by me. Clean and dry in there. So, while waiting for dye to show up I started looking at all possible points, high to low. Valve cover was dry, camshaft cover (little plastic one with O ring ) was dry, PCV valve...

Thnx, Ordered the dye and a light..

Do I have to use the light and goggles associate with the GM product on amazon?

I have a 2001 Honda CR-V, 212000 miles. I replaced oil pan gasket due to leak, but it seems to be leaking elsewhere. Maybe rear main.. Hard to tell. FIL had vehicle for ever, lots of oil underneath. Cleaned it the best I can... So, I want to do a dye kit, do you have any recommendations.

11.1 to 1 compression ratio.

Its a 396LT1. Everything else is tight, bearings clearances etc. It was also built to handle nitrous... Original 350 LT1 never used oil. Those were the days. Talking to other 396LT1 owners, 500-700 miles per quart..

Thnx, I didnt know if a cleaner oil like a Diesel oil, for example would help..

Thnx. Any particular oil

Hey, I have 1993 LT1 Chevy engine. Newly rebuilt, so it has the extra lubes put in on bearing surfaces etc for initial startup and run. What filter and oil would you recommend to filter out the extra grease, lubes etc for initial 500 to 1000 miles run of the motor?Thnx Engine is built with low...
