oil

Need your help. Picked up a 2019 Subaru Ascent the other day and owners manual says first oil change is 6 months or 6,000 miles. My plan is to change the oil at 1,000 miles to clear out all the oil after the break in period. At 6,000 miles I'll change it again to stay on schedule so I don't...

That perennial question 8-) I currently run Caltex VMX-M in both the 5-spd manual box (with Nulon G-70) and part-time transfer case (with no additive) of my 80. Looking to try something else. I've had recommendations to firstly not use the same oil in both and secondly to go with Redline MT-90...

I believe Aisin is OEM, am I correct? Anyways I can't find a new one anywhere on the internet. If you could point me to someone, I would appreciate it. Thanks!

Hmmm. So there is what seems to be a genuine made-in-Japan oil filter 90915-30002, and a genuine not-made-in-Japan oil filter 90915-30002-8T (made in Thailand). No prizes for guessing which is the cheaper one. For anyone in the know, does that also mean the quality is significantly different...

Last weekend, I made a foolish mistake trying when removing my alternator. I couldn't move what i now know to be the ac compressor far enough out of the way so I disconnected the tube going in to the top of it, result in the ac venting nto the air on my 1990 hdj81. This weekend I rented a...

As some know I am changing my oil and the PO had "gooked" up the oil pan plug with Permatex and a Toyota gasket. I removed the plug and Viola! there is a dent at the six o'clock position where the gasket goes. I am planning on using JB weld to level the dent out. Is there a better product or...

Hello guys, I am changing my oil and bought a Toyota oil filter 90915-YZZD3 and it is tiny compared to the Napa 21515 filter. The Napa filter looks like it goes on a Caterpillar bulldozer and the Toyota is literally "cute" next to it. The seal looks to match but the capacity is way different...

Was ordering oil for an upcoming replacement and came across this: Engine and Transmission Flush Does anyone have experience with it? Any risks? 2003 LX470 with 130,000 miles

I've been toying with this idea in my head for a while now, I know that there are businesses that produce oil level sensor block off plates for the USDM 3SGTE (for those who don't know, it's the engine from the MR2, JDM doesn't have an oil level sensor). I've seen this block-off plate from...

Hey fellas, so I stumbled on this question when I picked up a paper air filter for my 12H-T 'Cruiser: Long story short, I have a thin Unifilter (read: oiled) foam sleeve that slips right over the paper filter. I figured it would be nice to have two levels of filtration. Is this approach...

Ahhhh hello all, I’m a 1988 FJ62, engine rebuilt a year ago, my 2 quick questions first: 1. Does anyone have a link to the FSM that includes the lubricant system? 2.Does anyone know the torque setting for the bolts on the connection rod near the top left of this image below. Imgur: The most...

I have a 1972 Fj55 and am going to do my own oil change. Wondering if anyone could recommend what type of oil I should use! Thank you!!

ok guys, i installed engine and did everything correctly. i went to turn over and it runs. however the oil pressure is zero. before i time it do i have to prime out pump or should it automatically read when turned on and running.

Here is what happened... It's unfortunately a bit of an 'I told ME so'. It was time for an oil change on my 78 with a stock 2F. I was debating if I should try to clean up the crank case a bit with sea foam or B-12. I was leaning toward no, but then decided to do it. I used less than...

Kind of a random question, but here goes. I drive my cruiser very little lately, maybe 1000-2000 miles a year max, just camping adventures and the like. I have a pretty bad oil leak - I have to put in a quart every 1000 miles or so. So question is, given these parameters, how often should I...

Any of the Aussie guys have recommendations for a oil pump kit? Thnx.

I've just changed the oil in our new (to us) 78 FJ40. Changed the filter as well and now the pressure gauge is reading nothing (way below the L so you ant as the arm). Engine sounds fine, looks like fresh oil in the top. The old oil was very black, is it possible something in the sensor got...
