I used Rotella T and T6 in my 1994 Land Cruiser for years but now have a 1988 Celica with 150,000 that I just bought. It calls for 5w30 winter and 10w40 summer. Any reason not to use T6 5w40 Rotella T6 in it year round? Or should I find a PCMO for it? It leaks oil but I haven't figured out where...

Looking to reduce my NOx. I know I can replace the O2's and cats but that will cost more than the Land Cruiser is worth. I use to use G-Oil to reduce my emissions for emission testing 2 years ago. G-Oil must be going under as no one sells it and what is left is very pricey with shipping. G-Oil...

As said before I have excessive blowby in my 94 Land Cruiser FZJ80 gas motor 1FZ-FE with 438,000 mi. I have been debating on if I should fix it up or just drive it into the ground. Well, after washing the vehicle the carpet was wet. After inspecting and patching with old license plates, I found...

Is there such a way to test for gasoline in oil and how much? I searched Google and didn't find anything but may as well ask here.

Is there a bypass oil filter that will remove what ever the blowby gasses and gasoline does to my T6 oil on my gasoline motor Land Cruiser FZJ80? I know the motor is old and tired but is still strong and I am having to vent crankcase to atmosphere and it stinks to high heavens after a few...

When I bought the Land Cruiser with 208,000 mi. What is the red from? I know its oil but what why is it reddish color? I haven't had the valve cover off in a long time, wonder if Rotella T6 cleaned it up? Question, would a internal engine cleaner remove this reddish stuff? Would there be a...

I liked MOS2 10w40 oil or did I just like the MOS2 Oil Additive? Is there anything special about Liqui Moly's oil over other oils sold in USA? Will adding the MOS2 Oil Additive to Rotella T6 or to a PCMO be just as good MOS2 10w40 oil?

The 96 Camry is only driver when daughter is home from college, less than 100 miles a week. Rest of year it sits. Have been using 10w30 Kendal oil from Firestone. How often should I have the oil changed and is Kendal oil good for the driving conditions of the Camry or should I use a different...

Can products like Liqui Moly Motor Oil Saver and MOS2 cause stuck rings? I have been using Motor Oil Saver (in Rotella T6) for years and for a while was using MOS2 motor oil and Motor Oil Saver to reduce startup smoke. I have no plan on not using the product but wonder what negative long term...

Looking to keep my 94 Land Cruiser with 436,000 mi running for more miles. History, I either put lots of miles on it from commuting or it sits for months at a time either just driving a few miles a week or no driving at all. Been using Rotella T6 with LM Motor Oil Saver. It is used 1 qt after...

Can too much crankcase exhaust gas degrade oil so that it burns off faster? I think there is more blowby gasses produced than the PCV system can handle. Like in my other post, the more miles I put on my oil, the higher the consumption rate. Can excessive crankcase pressure cause oil consumption?

My 94 Land Cruiser has always used oil at an increasingly rate. When I got it used at 200,000 mi it used 1 qt after 3000 mi, 1 qt after 2500 mi, 1 qt after 2000 mi etc. This was with synthetic and dino oils. Now that I have 435,000 om it is used 1 qt after 1800 mi, 1 qt after 1100 mi, 1 qt after...

Looking for an alternative to LM Motor Oil Saver. Cant find it locally any more (napa stopped selling it). I dont want to buyit online. Is there a product that works as good as Motor Oil Saver? Have tried Lucas Oil Stabilizer with no luck. I use it to reduce my start up smoke.

My 94 Land Cruiser 417,000 mi, API rating was SH. How much ZDDP or zinc would of been in the oil at that time? I read that the US car makers wanted to lower the % of ZDDP in the to increase the life of the cats and O2's. The Japaneses car makers didn't want that to happen. Anyhow from what I...

I have been reading that some use 10w30 oil for gun lubing and rust prevention. I am running a corrosion test to see how well G-Oil holds up to corrosion resistance. Toxicity G-oil vs Synthetic vs Dino motor oil: G-Oil MSDS doesnt show any toxic problems. How does skin irritations of unused...

Was thinking of using a vegetable oil as a motor oil just to see if it will help me pass emissions. Last time I tried to pass I got very close but was just a little high with NOx. I didn't end up needed to pass emissions as I moved away. I now need to pass. Been reading that unrefined Canola...
