How many miles were on the oil?

I thought that the 6.4 quarts that go in my 3.5L 2grfe was excessive!

Don't know if this is BS but this is what my AI told me. Several brake rotor brands manufacture their products in the United States. Some notable brands include Akebono, StopTech, and Wilwood. Akebono is known for manufacturing their entire aftermarket brake rotor and pad line in the USA...

I didn't mention it at the time but I do run my fronts at 40 PSI and rears at 38 PSI on road trips. Since it makes the ride a little harsh I lower that number a few pounds when I'm just driving around town. And I also went up one size in aspect ratio when I bought the Defenders.

I built my bed and some storage to go into my sienna which I use to travel around the country on camping trips. I find it very convenient and comfortable but lately I've been thinking it'd be nice to have the added space of an aliner trailer.

I put Michelin Defenders on my Sienna. But they still need to be rotated every 4 or 5,000 miles religiously.

I still use Break Free CLP and Hoppes #9.

I bought one of these about 5 years ago. The price was less though at that time. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Honda-21-in-Nexite-Variable-Speed-4-in-1-Gas-Walk-Behind-Self-Propelled-Mower-with-Select-Drive-Control-HRX217K6VKAD/327853930

I'm waiting for the new Toyota BZ to come out and then hopefully later get a Highlander hybrid as well (or a RAV4 hybrid). Meanwhile our national debt keeps climbing....

Let's see, I've got about 4,500 mi on my oil change that I did last month. I've been using mobil1 0w40, but I'm wondering is there a super tech synthetic that I could use seeing as how this engine is so easy on oil. I see super tech 5W-40 and now 0w-40, wouldn't be opposed to using a 0w30 or...

Government subsidies for the oil industry at work.

Finished a night of camping at "The Wall" near Wall, South Dakota. Currently parked in front of Wall Drug waiting for them to open so I can have breakfast. 😃

We have been driving Prius' for about 15 years now. I really like Toyotas hybrid synergy drive and it's reliability.

I am 2000 miles into my trip, currently camping in North Dakota. Of course, the engine has functioned flawlessly. I changed the oil before I left, with M1 0w40, It still looks pretty good.

I change my oil every year, no matter what.

Is it better to clean a PCV or replace? I've never done anything to mine, but don't have any issues either...

I'm assuming my engine oil runs at 250F/121C. Hard to know without a temperature gauge. 6 cSt vs 9 cSt at 120C comparing to 0w20 and my 0w40. If my engine runs cooler then the cSt difference is greater. What I don't know is the horsepower draw of the oil and pump at those viscosity numbers. You...

I wish my Toyota 2grfe had an oil temp readout. I'm currently using 0w40 and it may be impacting my mpg more than I think.

You drive like I do. Only difference is my 5k/1yr oci interval. Another year or two and I'll need to start thinking about spark plugs. 🤔

I hope that doesn't mean that all of the deposits were left in the engine! 😱
