    Turbo Hydramatic 125C pan leaking...gasket material choices.

    Had the old three speed transmission rebuilt just a bit over 2.5 years ago, and just recently the pan is leaking lots. The trans shop used a cork gasket on the pan. I guess I could re-torque the pan bolts, but not sure that would help with the leak. I plan on dropping the pan, and installing a...

    Oil change due on my Toyota pickup with the 2.4 22RE. Book calls for 10W-30 motor oil. After looking over the product data sheet for Chevron Delo XLE 10W-30 CK-4/SN dual rated, I think it would work good for this truck. Thinking I should be able to do 5,000 mile oil chain intervals easily on...
