    Toyota Oil Filter Question

    I wonder about the one I am using. It sat in a refrigerated compartment for years, along with another one I have. I bought it in 2011.

    Best 20 gauge self defense ammo

    Frankly, any 20 gauge load will put the guy out of the fight with a body hit, unless he has armor on that absorbs all the pellet energy.

    Today's OCI debacle - dented XG3614

    Personally, I would have used the filter. If the oil stayed pretty clean, that would mean it was working.

    My 1996 Avalon has a Toyota oil filter, size 90915-YZZD1 on it. It has gone about 5000 miles. I had my local mechanic order a new tail light switch and do some minor maintenance. I had him change the oil and leave the 90915-YZZD1 on it. The new oil is clean as a whistle. I want to run the...

    Viscosity Question

    My Avalon has gone about 250,000 miles on a 1MZ-FE engine, and I live in a very hot climate during the summer. My mechanic says that in hot weather with a motor this old that 5W-30 is best not used, and a 20W-50 oil is better. What are your thoughts?

    oil filter use for longer than 1 year?

    I change filters by mileage, not time, and have done so for 45+ years. Nothing has blown up yet.

    Racing Oil Question

    In short, how good are Motul racing oils in ordinary, passenger car applications? A buddy of mine might be interested in some. Are they robust enough for an oil change of 5000 to 7000 miles? I know they were intended for the shorter intervals of race cars.

    Why does synthetic oil last longer?

    I am posting this question for a friend of mine. He is a retired physician and knows more about chemistry than I do.

    Question about two oils.

    What is your opinion about Kendall GT-1 Max,full synthetic, Liquid Titanium? I just saw it selling at $2.99 A quart. But I am more interested in what you have to say about the oil rather than the price. The other oil with it was Shield Choice by Phillip 66. The first was a 5W-30. The second was...

    22 mag, whats the deal?

    I have an old Winchester 9422 in .22 WMR. It has a receiver sight and is a sweet shooter. In a handgun, a .22WMR has a lot of stopping power for its size and will serve a lot better than nothing for self defense.
