My Camry I4 calls for 0W-20 or 5W-20 oil but out of 6 stores, only 2 of them had any selection. This included the PX, Napa, 2 AutoZone, Kragen, and Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart only had Mobil 1 5W-20 for $5.97/qt and one AutoZone (the one further away) had Castrol Syntec for $4.49/qt and Castrol Syntec...

My 2007 Camry I4 calls for 4.5 quarts of 0W20 or 5W20 motor oil. I have only been able to find 0W20 under Mobil 1 brand at $6 per quart, so Castrol GTX 5W20 it is for about $1 per quart by the case after rebate. Now, I have about 5 qts of Penzoil Platinum 10W30 because I bought it for my...

Last Wednesday, I was inspecting my air filter when I noticed that a piece of tumble weed had gouged a hole in my air filter about 3mm x 4 mm. I replaced the air filter almost imediately considering that I live in a very dusty area. Is there any reason that I should be concerned about my oil...

I flushed out my cooling system today. During this process, I removed the lower radiator hose from the radiator and the thermostat housing. When I looked inside, there was some white stuff on the inside of the hose that went away when I put water on it and appeared when the water dried up. What...

I bought a jug of Toyota Pink Coolant about a year ago but never used it - I haven't even opened it. What is the general shelf life of coolant? Is this stuff still good? I currently have green coolant of some sort in my car. How can I be sure that I drain everything out before I put the pink...

The oil is 3 qt Mobil Clean 7500 and 1 qt Mobil 1 Supersyn. Both are 10W-30. It happened to be what I had on hand at the time and I didn't want to go into town. The oil filter was a Purolator Pure One PL14476 which is smaller than the Napa Gold (Wix) 1396 I used with the oil in the previous...

How do I identify Group III oils? I am currently using Mobil Clean 7500 and understand that is about 2/3 to 3/4 Group III oil with about 1/5 to 1/4 PAO. I want to use Group III oil, and I think Castrol Syntec is Group III but that is the same price as Mobil 1 SS, and Valvoline synthetic is...

This is my engine oil analysis. I'm not sure what the numbers mean as in what the metals indicate. Anyone care to explain or point me in the right direction? I used the oil in my 2000 Toyota Camry 2.2L 4 cylinder (5SFE). Oil is Mobil 1 Clean 7500 10W-30. Engine had 73054 miles on it at the...

I accidentally poured 1/2 qt of Mobil 1 Synthetic Dexron III ATF into my engine thinking it was motor oil. Is it safe to leave it in there and drive the car? Do I need to do a drain and refill? Or...???

I have a Toyota Camry 2.2L 4 cylinder. Previously, I ran 5W-30, usually Catrol GTX, all year changing it out at 3000-4000 miles. I did this at my old home where the temperature varied from 45 deg F to 80 deg F throughout the year. Now I live where the temperature varies from 30 deg F to 130 deg...

I picked up a couple of these Denso oil filters today. It looks very interesting because it has a plastic wrap covering the opening and there is some grease on the rubber gasket already. I never saw anything like this before. Anyone use these filters before? I've never used these Denso filters...

This number is printed on the top of the can. This is the only other markings on the can I got a couple of these from Sears in an unmarked cardboard box It has nothing written on it except for SL14477 and Made in USA. The guy said that he's not supposed to sell those, but doesn't have any...
