I wouldn't mind keeping the truck as it would probably be cheaper short term than having to move into something else. It's in fair shape otherwise. Ultimately it will be sold for something more fuel efficient. Would replacing the HG on just one bank be unheard of? I figure to have it done...

I have a 2005 4Runner V6 showing 235k miles with the well known cold start #6 misfire and coolant consumption, about a reservoirs worth over a period of about 5k miles. The issue seems to have gotten worse lately with more consistent cold start misfires that take longer to clear up. Can someone...

You can transfer a car without smog as long as it's agreed to by the buyer. You can't register it for road use or get the title without one, but there is a procedure for selling cars without a title, using a bill of sale. DMV will give you a temporary operating permit to do what you have to do...

How often was the fluid serviced?

Ok, so I ran out (hard) the 5 or so gallons with 91 octane and G2P that was left in the tank, and refueled with 8 gallons of Chevron 87 octane. I changed the oil and filter with fresh 20W-50 and I added one bottle of ISO HEET & one gallon of E85 to the tank, and drove it real hard on the freeway...

I just bought the car. It's been neglected with the last couple owners so I picked it up for next to nothing without a smog. I've run a half tank (about 10 gallons) with 91 octane fuel and G2P additive used, didn't refuel and had it tested. I was able to warm the engine up but it may not have...

Sorry, this is the correct report. 15MPH (fail) RPM 1736 CO2% - 14.7 O2% - 0.0 HC (ppm) - MEAS 81 MAX 112 [FAIL] CO% - MEAS 0.14 MAX 0.47 NOX (ppm) - MEAS 289 MAX 683 25MPH (fail) RPM 1872 CO2% - 14.7 O2% - 0.0 HC (ppm) MEAS 52 MAX 46 [FAIL] CO% MEAS 0.07 MAX 0.44 NOX (ppm) MEAS 39 MAX 692

1995 525i 5MT, 318k miles Didn't fail but much, any tips on getting it to pass? I will change the oil and filter before going in for the re-test. It has 91 in it now, considering trying 87 the next time (lots of mixed opinions) 15MPH (fail) RPM 1736 CO2 - 14.7 O2 - 0.0 HC (ppm) - MEAS 81 MAX...

I have gone 14,250 miles on the Castrol 5W-20 EP (1/2qt added) / BOSCH 3323 filter since July. I just serviced them with Mobil 1 5W-20 EP / Honda OE (Toyo Roki)and plan to go at least 12,500 on this combo. I will post the Blackstone results for the Castrol when it comes in.

Thanks, owners manual states 10k / 1yr under "normal" conditions.

Thanks all. I do about 50/50 stop-n-go and freeway driving. It will get up to operating temperature at least once daily. I think I will go with the Castrol Edge EP (gold bottle) for a 10k OCI and then perhaps a UOA when time comes. I will be sure to share it with you all if that happens.

This car has the smallest sump size of any car I've owned. 3.7 quarts w/ filter. Would any adverse effects come out of running a EP oil for 15K OCI on a Honda filter? I'd also appreciate any opinions on M1 vs Castrol in 5w-20. 150k miles

Mobil 1 5W-30 HM 7k OCI

I used to have a 97. I wished the transmission had an extra gear, and the engine had variable cam timing. Other than that, what a fine automobile it was.

Mobil 1 5W-20

Stick with a energy conserving 5W-20. Mobil 1 comes to mind.

Thank you from one 7th gen owner to another.
