    Adjusting front caster to correct pull/drift...

    My 08 IS F has a slight drift/pull to the right. After getting my alignment done, the front caster is slightly out of spec. Would this .2° cause a pull? I researched replacement LCA bushing, and I am thinking of replacing the right LCA bushing with P/N 48075-53020. The RH LCA bushing is a +20'...

    Store Brand Oils and your results...

    Autozone, Napa, Advance and O'Reilly's continue to price name brand and store brand motor oils well above their competitors so it's hard to rationalize their deals. Does anyone here buy their store brand oils and if you do what were your results? I picked up some STP 0W-16 made by AOC and I...

    Toyota NA vs Toyota Global...

    2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback XSE, North American Owners Manual recommends a 0W-16 or 0W-20 if 16 is not available. I found it very interesting that Toyota Japan and Toyota Austrailia recommend such a wide range of oil weights for the exact same model and engine combination. Why wouldn't...

    NOCO Genius G7200 charging algorithms?

    I've been using my G7200 Smart charger for the past two months to maintain my brand new battery. The last week I've noticed that the charging algorithm has changed. I drive the car short trips so I've been boosting the battery when I get home and unplug it when the unit reaches 100%. Usually...

    Fluke 77 iv or Fluke 179? I've used the 77 iii/ iv at work for the last 16 years and I'm looking at purchasing a Fluke 179 or 77 for personnel use. Both are very similar. Options.

    Maintaining a new battery

    Just replaced my original battery. My car does 90 % short trips. I live on base and the gym and work are very short round trips, approx 3 miles round trip. I know short drives are killer for a battery as it doesn't get a chance to charge back up after the shot trips. I take it out once a week...

    New car battery recommendations...

    It's time to replace my battery in my 2013 Corolla S. Last few starts have been weaker and weaker. I've use group 35 Duralast Golds in the past but it now looks like they have changed from 640 CCA to around 575 CCA. There seems to be some good sales going right now with AAP 20% and Pepboys is...

    Did I goof?

    Topped of my 2012 Ford Focus with Toyota Pink Long Life Pre diluted coolant. I noticed the coolant was at the min line and I topped it off to the full mark with the Toyota coolant. Coolant in the car was pink/redish but a quick search shows it was supposed to be a dex cool mix. Any damage or...

    Using a taller filter?

    1.8 1ZZ-FE, I picked up some 90915-10004 made in Japan Denso oil filters and I wanted to use them on my 1zz which calls for the shorter 10003/YZZF2. I've noticed that almost every filter manufacture uses the same filter for the 1zz and the 2zz. Even Toyota's TRD oil filter is the same for the...
