2005 likely called for 5W30. "Hybrid oil" would have been synthetic blend which is code word for very good conventional. As long as 5K oil changes were done it should be fine.

Tomioka, How did you manage that deal? I hated waiting in line. Counting the drive there and back it was close to two hours to have them do something I could have done in 15 minutes. AND got to see the oil coming out looking for rainbows.

So..... I bought a 2023 Tacoma last summer and am on my first oil change at 5K miles. I thought long and hard about changing it earlier but decided to wait until 5K. As some of you know, toyota has a 2 year 25K mile, maintenance covered plan. AKA Free oil changes and rotations...

CHECK THE SEARCH BUTTON!!!!! << Mean FACE >> :) I don't think there is a "real life" measurable difference between then. I've been on this forum a LONG time and the one thing that is certain is that the oils are all converging. As long as they have an API specification they are all...

Capacitors do do what you saw. Its called dielectric absorption. You can momentarily short the leads together. If it is a dead lithium cell I would not play with it too much. Some don't like to be discharged to zero and may swell, hiss or pop. pop is bad.

If you know your kid, you should have known better.

I still miss Quaker States clear bottles for Ultimate Protection. Really made them stand out on the isle because on first glance I thought every bottle was leaking. :)

Nice car carviewsonic!

thanks for all of the responses fellows!

when i start it at Christmas and 4th of july i spcycke through the gears and roll it forward and backwards. rotors have a little surface rust but nothing crazy. tires dont have cracks but will likely need changing. everything else looks pretty good

My mom has a grad marquis that has been setting up for 5 years. The last oil change was 5 years ago with almost no miles put on it since then. It was Castrol GTX blend. The battery has been in a trickle charger since then and I crank the engine over the two or so times a year when I visit...

Timing the market is a roll of the dice. You need to consider of paying off the mortgage is worth losing what the money is currently invested in. How long does your current mortgage have. If its 5+ years and your rate is less than 5% then you are likely better of leaving it in the market and...

No clue. the Shtick is pretty dumb but the experimental results are good. nothing to argue with there. He truly tried to let that gasoline go "bad." The biggest issue is the jelly building up in the bowel. not the gas.

Hard to tell but it sounds like a 2 stroke to me. :) Since it runs fine at WOT and not so good at lower RPM, you mich check the carbs. There are some small ports for low speed operation that may be clogged. Carbs on those old 2 strokes are simple to clean once you get them off the engine. That...

The only complaint I had about the valve is the oil flow was slow. Made the change take longer than it could have. I added greasing my zerks on my u-joints to the task nd that took up the time but I blamed the valve when I had the reach around at odd angles to get to the zerks at every change...

I do the first one early. 1-2 hours then dump it. if it looks "shimmery" (it will most of the time). I reload with a 30 W oil (straight, 10W or 5W. Im in the south so it doesnt matter) then run another 1-2 hours. If it looks shimmery again I keep going until it looks clean. Then I'll extend like...

file the Buccaneers. :).

i ran a test with my family with nathens. hebrew. ballpatk. bars oscar mayer and HEB. BallPark grilled up the best for us. bun length, plumped up, not too salty

lookup Teryl Dactyl on youtube, hes a smalle engine repair person with corny show but good content. he tested all of the stabilizers vs untreated 87 and 91 octine and p racing non ethanol. all lasted over a year, i thin he stopped at 16months. any gas with ethanol left jelly in the barb bowl...

Aahhh.,. Youll swell up a little bit but youll be fine. have at em.
