    Toyota 2AZ-FE magically stopped burning oil

    Now I am not going to jinks myself *knocks on wood*. But, I used to add maybe a quart of oil every roughly 2-4 weeks in my 2008 Toyota Camry with the 2AZ-FE motor. The last time I added oil was 2 weeks ago. Since then, I noticed the car hasn't burned a drop of oil at all. Not sure how it...

    B58 low coolant (hardly any) in the main reservoir.

    Is the coolant level supposed to be super low (non-existent) in the big coolant tank and at max level in the small one? =AZXlhIXbmAOBRunTYjnDHXzLLe4QK9nat-Lk427pmn4yUWxpDb3dBegrzzTbnyad-PyAuroRQenFMhr9G_JKoHQr6LMeE-2qPyvfEF_-6_x6cypUyN8AHlNGaXKr4haWgCDGzfjuUjEKF4TUY6ZwAXEc&__tn__=*bH-R']...

    I'm taking my dad's Accord to Honda tomorrow for an oil change. I know they're going to recommend getting the valves adjusted. Car has 110k~ miles. I already did the plugs and flushed the coolant at 98k. Trans fluid was replaced twice. Once at 48k. The other one at 98k. Usually, I get the oil...

    Camry misfires and CEL P0301

    My sister and brother-in-law were going to Texas today. So, I told them I'd drop them off at O'hare airport. Their flight was for 7 am ~. I was doing maybe 85 MPH on I-90 in the Camry and all of a sudden the car started to shake badly and the CEL started flashing. I let go of the accelerator...

    2AZ-FE Toyota engine burning oil; additive to reduce consumption?

    I bought an 08 Camry last month. Changed the oil when I brought it. I used Full synthetic 5w-20. I know the 2AZ-FE is known to burn oil. I have about 700 miles on the new oil. Checked the oil level and it's right in the middle of the full and low mark. Any way to reduce oil consumption? Maybe...

    Car pulling to the left even after two alignments

    Any idea what the issue can be? Tires are maybe 2.5 years old. No wild tread wear or anything. It pulls hard to the left and there's somewhat of a "roaring" noise coming from the front end. Not 100% sure if it's the wheeling bearing, But, can a bad wheel bearing cause the car to pull to one side...

    Found my old BMW. Totaled....

    Wow, never did I think my old BMW would be deemed totaled. I still remember the VIN number of the car. I ran the carfax last week and it showed it was in a rear accident last month. I looked up the VIN on Google today and found it on an auction site...

    How reliable is the 3.0L V6 vs the 2.2L 4 cylinders in the 1997-2001 Camrys?

    My dad owned a 1998 Toyota Camry LE w/the 4 cylinders. It was pretty smooth and reliable. The only major thing that went out on it was the oil pump seal at around 160k miles. We sold the car back in 2019 with 190k~ miles due to rust. I got a job offer that is a bit far from my house. So, I...

    RockAuto Spark plugs legit or counterfeited?

    I'm almost at 100k miles on the 2013 EX Accord (sitting at 98k~ miles right now). Going to be doing Spark plugs and flushing the coolant. How reliable is Rockauto in terms of NGK plugs etc? I brought Bosch Rotors off them last month. 0 issues with that. But, I don't think you'd be able to tell...

    P0172 Honda Accord EX CEL

    Well, first I got a CEL on the BMW for a bad catalytic converter (covered under the BMW warranty) and now the Accord gets one. Went to Autozone and they recommended the fuel injector to be replaced? Might need to throw in some Fuel injector cleaner to see if that may help. Any help would be...

    2013 Honda Accord front left wheel bearing replacement. How hard of a DIY?

    I started noticing a couple of months ago that the car kept pulling to the left. So, I had an alignment done at my job and the tech did say the alignment was a little off. Nothing crazy. They still did the alignment. But, the car was still pulling a little bit to the left after the alignment...

    Premium gas in a Lexus (Toyota)?

    Was at a family friend's house yesterday and this topic came up. Why does Lexus require premium gas when Toyota doesn't? For example, the 2012 Lexus ES350 comes with a 3.5L V6. The same motor the 2012 Toyota Sienna, 2012 Toyota Camry, etc came with. The Sienna and Camry don't require premium...

    What's your take on rebuilt title cars?

    I'm looking at this 2011 BMW M3(competition pack) with 49k miles on it. Market value is $42k~. I've never brought a rebuilt title car before but if the body and frame look okay I think this would be a steal considering what the market value is. What do y'all think? Link to car...

    Body shop using bedliner under the rocker panel after fixing rust?

    Not sure if anyone remembers. But, my dads 2013 Honda Accord started rusting from the rocker panels on each side. We found a body shop that is going to cut out the rusted rocker panel and weld new metal. He said after he welds new metal and paints both the rocker panels, he is going to apply bed...

    Never really liked the look of the G80 M3 until I saw this one

    One of my fellow Bimmerpost forum members just picked up his G80 M3. Finished in Oxford Green over Tartufo Full Merino Leather. I think I'm in love :love: Definitely on my cars bucket list. Not sure if it'll be an E9x generation M3 or new. But, I can't really afford either right now 😅...

    Pay for a PPI or let it be?

    Welp, I just called my local BMW dealership before my appt (wed.) to see if they can do an in-warranty inspection (the factory warranty on my car expires March 2023. CPO kicks in after). The service advisor said if I am not noticing anything out of the ordinary (which I am not), there will be a...
