Separate names with a comma.
Maybe, but maybe not. It could be that more load on the engine means less thermal cycling since it does more work.
It's implied in the 0W-20 spec. I've yet to see a 0W-20 that wasn't at least a group III base. I suppose we could split hairs on the definition...
15k intervals on mine since I got it at 42k. Oil analysis comes back amazing. One size does not fit all. It's just not as simple as that....
If it's been maintained, you can pound miles on it all day long, every day. Just constantly check the oil level! Personally, I'd want to make...
You should be able to see the valves from there without a boroscope. That doesn't look horrible to me at all though. This was mine when I was...
A Gen 3 car should only be running synthetic. Missing from the equation is how fast are you piling the mileage on? If you're driving a ton,...
Two factors that can effect this the most are main battery condition and A/C system condition. If your battery is older you're more likely to...
What I find amusing is that my "all season" tires are not direction and surprisingly enough, neither are my snow tires.
This. If it's happening on multiple vehicles I would be looking more at the drivers then the cars themselves.
Had Premiers on a Camry and currently have Defenders on the Prius. Premiers are a nicer tire, but I wouldn't hesitate to get Defenders again either.
They might have screwed up the diagnosis considerably but they didn't kill the car, it was already mortally wounded.
Toe should have nothing to do with temperature.
Pretty much one in the same ;) IMS bearing is more of a big deal then the EGR issues on a Prius. Also, at 50mph, the engine is gonna be...
Sometimes a little JB Weld to hold things in place gives you just enough extra to break something free as well.
You can't say it's strictly a drivetrain train problem and have no idea how the drive train actually works... You say it has nothing to do with...
LOL. Anyone buying a car 200K should expect them to have issues.
Subjective terms but how it is driven is all over the map. I wouldn't say I don't drive it like a true hypermiler like some on here, but I don't...
2011.
Been doing that since I bought it with 42k on it. I used Amsoil 0w-20 for most of them and Amsoil 0w-30 for the last 2. Mostly oem filters with...
I'll be one of the outliers here. 15k oil change intervals and no consumption. Car used for rideshare so sees lots of thermal cycles as well....
