Hi guys, I am getting codes P0136 and P0137, bank 1 sensor 2. Planning on replacing the o2 sensor, but the wiring from the sensor go through a grommet in the unibody frame and I cannot see where the wiring harness is plugged into. Don't wanna pull too hard on wires. What's the deal with this? I...

Inherited a 2014 Yaris in 2018 with 3k on it. Was seldom driven, and when it was, it was short tripped in an urban environment. I've got about 30k on it now and decided I ought to change the filter due to the age. I drained/filled the trans pan a year or so ago. What's the best deal on ATF WS...

Got a few boxes of this "MaxxTech" brass case 115 9mm target ammo. Wasn't my first choice but we all know the circumstances. It is claimed to be non-corrosive, brass cased and made in Bosnia and Herzegovina. I do also have some Federal AE 9mm boxes too. There's not much of anything for reviews...

Just ordered a couple cases of what was listed AS Mercon V on Amazon for a great deal, not the typical Valvoline "For Mercon V applications." The actual quarts have "for MV applications. This fluid is not licenced by Ford" Is this just as good as the other official Merc V bottlers like...

Looking to get multiple gallons of some sort of ethanol free premix for OPE (ex: Stihl MotoMix, VP SEF, etc). I do not see anything cheaper than 13.XX/gallon factoring in coupons, sales, buying a 5 gallon pail. Am I missing something or does anyone have a lead? Thanks in advance. No, I do not...

Amazon offers a wide selection of handheld/backpack gas blowers, from junk MTDs to Husqvarnas. The obviously have had defective/problem units, but my question is, how would one go about returning one? Amazon doesn't take anything back that's flammable/gasoline related (including most spray...

Family member just picked up a 38k 2013 FJ Cruiser TT 4x4 with the automatic. I've heard a lot of discord on their forums about 75w-90, 80w-90, 75w-140, etc. The truck will be mostly used for on-road 40/60 hwy/suburban driving. I'm wondering what the word is here. I plan on using Valvoline Syn...

Up here in New England, Cumberland Farms is a large gas station/convenience store with about 550 stations. I'm wondering if anyone has information regarding the quality or sourcing of the gas. Would go to them more if I hadn't heard a few complaints about watery gas. A lot of people online say...

I'm interested in taking advantage of the $5.99/filter promotion at NAPA for their Platinum filters, but also am able to order OEM Toyota filters for >$4 for my 2014 Yaris. I do 4-5k OCIs with Mobil Super syn. I do mostly shorter trips in the car, 50/50 highway/city. Which do you think is...

Hey guys. I inherited a 2014 Yaris w/4k on it from a family member one year ago. I'm now at 14k. All the fluids are original besides the oil. The ATF looks nice and red as it should, but I'm wondering if I should change it out since it's 7 years old, been in the car since 2013 date of mfg...

Going to be picking up a 38k mile, 2014 FJ Cruiser with the 4.0. Seems to be spec'd for 0w20 in the later model years with the newer "LEV Eco Friendly" version of the 1GR-FE. It supposedly gained an "improved DOCH VVT-i" system. 0w20 seems to be pretty thin, and I have seen quite a few owners...

Off a Crown Vic, 4.6 2v. Ran 3000 miles with Mobil Super Synthetic 0w-20. Filter media not torn at this short OCI. Everything looks okay (besides the can mauled open with dull tin snips). I did open/seperate the pleat sections that were large/irregularly gapped, no tearing. Obviously the...

After putting away some power equip for long term storage using 100LL AvGas, I overbought and have about 2-3 gallons left over. Finally found a local ethanol free (94 unleaded E0) pump in VT I'm going to fill up my gas cans with, but want to get rid of the leftover fuel. Would this be fine to...

Hey guys, This may be a dumb question, but as an oil information newbie I have been using as well had the previous owner, MC FL820S filters on my 05 Vic (2v 4.6) with 3,000mi synthetic changes (usu PP, M1) (save me the ridicule!) up until currently at 61,000. I have learned from a few people...

I was sick of buying the canned ethanol free gas at my work, even with a discount, $17/gal is still ridiculous for any gasoline. There is no regular unleaded e0 near me whatsoever. I bit the bullet and went to my local municipal airport. Very easy in and out, the operator filled up my 5 gallon...

I have a co-worker in serious need of new tires who is struggling financially, and has a clapped out "only around town" 06 Escape with one flat and 3 baldies and a shock mount that's busted through to the trunk. I have a full spare set of General 225 60 16 made in 2015 from the set of stock...

Just picked up a clearance jug of Valvoline Modern Engine 5w20 and a few quarts of Shell Gas Truck 0w20... what the heck is the difference between "oil for 2012 vehicles or newer" or "Modern Truck/SUV" as compared to regular synthetic?? LOL so the gas truck oil is better in the 2v 4.6 in the...

I've seen quite a bit of conflicting information on here as to what the difference and benefits are to either. Some say that B-12 is better because it's more solvent based, and the same for Techron because of PEA. The only thing that glares out to me is the price difference. $3.97 for 15oz of...

Was at WM today and noticed Synblend 0w20... nothing about it after a search here, nor much about it online at all. What's the scoop? This seems significantly less expensive than any other regular priced 0w20.

Been using nothing but MC FL820s filters on every Ford panther chassis I've owned, but among CVN, BITOG and other platforms, it seems like the tearing media problem is persisting or worsening... What are some of the local favorites in regards to alternatives for the venerable 2v 4.6...
