    DIY Trans Fluid change on Toyota vehicles.

    Is350, I drain 4 QT and refill. Do it when car has been on ramps all night and new fluid in garage so they're both the same temp then you don't have to worry about it since you just replace what you took out.

    Premium Fuel-Porsche Cayenne

    Been putting 87 in my is350 for about the last 120k and it's been fine, I drive 150 miles to work and back a day though so it's all freeway. In Cali 93 vs 87 is anywhere from $12 to $16 a tank, fill up every 2 days and that adds up to around $1800 to $1900 a year. There is a noticable difference...

    Kreen recommended, why not Chemtool B12?

    I wouldn't put it in the crankcase of a modern engine, I'd be sceptical of what it would do to seals. I've used it it the tank though, one can every 20k.

    Transmission Fluid Level Question

    I have never checked the temp on a drain and fill on my is350 or wife's rx350, I leave vehicle sit in garage overnight with the ATF so everything is the same temp and refill the amount that drained out.

    Types of ATF fluid

    I changed out the "lifetime" ATF in my IS350 with maxlife synthetic, did it 4 quarts at a time through 4 oil changes with no issues. The fluid came out pitch black at 100k, there's no way it's "lifetime". Don't think you can go wrong with maxlife,Toyota WS is highway robbery

    Supertech 5w-30 syn; 7k mi; 2014 IS350 60k

    No make up oil, I let it run out about a quart before I collected it straight into the collection bottle during the drain. It was black as [censored] and smelled like gas big time though

    Supertech 5w-30 syn; 7k mi; 2014 IS350 60k

    thanks guys, I was concerned going that far that's why I went 5w-30 instead of 5w-20...these miles are mostly highway at 80 to 95mph, 100 mile 1 way commute to work so I jam, plenty of WOT

    Supertech 5w-30 syn; 7k mi; 2014 IS350 60k

    Calls for 10k OCI on 5w20, but light comes on a little after 5k, so I ran it to 7k to see if it really needed to be changed at 5k and this is the results with the cheapest 5w30 and a $1.08 fram extra guard CH10158 (got 20 on closeout at rockauto). How far can I go?

    Let's Talk Gun Safes.

    When I bought my safe I researched for a couple of months and was ready to just buy a TL-30, but then I thought what if I move? I'll need a crane.... so I compromised. Don't buy a tin can at your big box store, I've seen too many pictures of those things opened like a soda can with a crow bar...

    OLM Accuracy

    OLM Accuracy

    Got it, I guess my question is really about whether or not the OLM is measuring the physical condition of the oil, or just going on some type of pre-programmed interval. It's just odd that not matter what oil I use it comes on within 100 miles, so those 3 oils are equal in quality according to...

    OLM Accuracy

    2014 IS350, manual says 10,000 mile OCI, but my light usually comes on around 5k no matter what oil I use. This got me wondering how accurate the monitor actually is, Lexus OLM information states: Quote: "Smart technology, like the Oil Life Monitor (OLM) system, automatically monitors the oil...

    New Briggs & Stratton 625ex Leaking?

    I took the oil cover off, bottom screw wasn't as tight as the others and the gasket was soaked in oil at the bottom so that was probably the cause. I tightened everything back up then put the bottle of oil in it and let it sit over night and it hasn't leaked yet but the oil isn't hot either.

    New Briggs & Stratton 625ex Leaking?

    Box didn't look opened previously, factory taped. I got it for $50 off, so $217 that's why I grabbed it used a promo code but I think u might be right about these engines Joe.
