    49.20 euros currently equals 72.17 canadian dollars, works out to $14.43 (can) per liter, $11~12 US. Getting better anyway. (y)

    Why do you think the tech companies are going for car sharing? In the users' minds "not my car, don't have to deal with it. Just drive and leave it at the destination".


    That does leave a different set of problems but I won't get into that.

    Finally I change them!!!! It looks black ⚫️⚫️⚫️
    When I picked up the Atf att the dealer, he says:
    (He)Why you change this oil???
    (Me) Because it's needed.
    (He) you have a leak, level low, or a problem with gearbox?
    (Me) No, I have no problems... Just preventive maintenance!!!
    (He) But isn't needed. We don't change this here. We normally don't have this oil in stock. It's Lifetime fluid!!!!
    (Me) Don't exist lifetime oils.... and I want my car running more than a life.

    ..... .... ... ... ....

    Finally, he agree with me!

    Later I put pics.

    Dealerships vary a lot in attitude; ours always has Toyota ATF WS in stock, and the fill/drain bolt washer, no hassles.

    But lifetime oils do exist. In fact they have been around since WWII, when they were used quite successfully in kamikaze airplanes.
