I guess as long as it doesn't show past full on the dipstick it should be okay?

It took almost 8.5 quarts to show full on the dipstick. I am using a WIX oil filter 51515.

The manual says my 1995 4.6 liter engine takes 7.6 quarts. 7.6 quarts barely touches the bottom of the dipstick. Does anyone know how many quarts it really takes?

Going to hopefully replace my radiator tomorrow. Can anyone tell me if I need red or green antifreeze in my 1995?

I took the belts off. The pulleys do spin freely. Thats good news. I'll go pick up my new radiator and belts this afternoon. Still a pita though.

Correct. The rear one broke. The belt in front is still intact.

1995 with 92,800 miles

I was driving home yesterday, I heard a pop and then the light above my amp meter came on. A short time later my check engine light came on and the temp gauge was showing hot. I pulled over and popped the hood. My fan belt had broken. The plastic cap on my radiator was also slightly bulged...

The rubber between the fender flare and body of my 1995 Landcruiser is coming off. I would like to get some new to put on. What are these technically called and is there a good place to get them online?

According to the gauge my compresser is full of freon. The compressor also kicks on. I assume its working. The a/c only blows hot air though. What is the likely culprit?
