It’s not something that’s going to grenade your engine, but over time it could get costly to fix. Direct injected engines are more prone to issues as a result of gunk building up on the injectors. It can screw with your fuel trim levels, throw a check engine light, cause rough idle, reduce gas...

Sometimes yeah, following that same advice in the manner you described. Might only do it once every 10 or 20k miles though, and only if there’s a good sale on the detergent. No idea if it helps lol! Currently doing that on my Titan with 60k miles as the truck is new to me. Got a free bottle of...

Fixed that for you :D

Here’s the real pat on the back. You now possess an intimate understanding of that SkyActiv engine that 99% of folks visiting here will never attain! :D

Bingo! I thought my 23 Turbo didn’t do it for that reason. A little tap of the gas wasn’t enough, you have to push that pedal while expecting the parking brake to release.

You know what’s funny? The OEM Denso filters for Toyota come prelubed too, but they still have an instruction on the box to apply oil. Makes me scratch my head every time.

Don’t forget to double check that the adapter left the rail when lowering the jack. Pretty sure I lost mine on a drive after a tire rotation that way, lol! I’d actually prefer they weren’t magnetic for that reason but that’s just me.

For those days at the track 🏎️ Shake and Bake!

Or do both, use 5w-30 restore formulation. I think they say you need several oci’s for it to be effective, it’s a slow cleaning agent.

Your timing is uncanny. Guess where I was stopping on my way in? Pennzoil here I come

Huntsville. Surprised to see 0w-16 is just completely out of stock in Mobil1.

Darn, zero Mobil1 available in store near me. Going to give Pennzoil a shot again. $20 or $30 back on 10 quarts depending on what flavor you get. The Ultra Platinum is never available near me so I’ll probably settle for Platinum again...

Hah, about time for me to stock 0w-16 for the RAV4 again...

Mobil1 is a good deal if you don’t mind chasing rebates. They haven’t denied me yet. Pennzoil also offers rebates occasionally, but they tried to screw me once. Do with that what you will. Kirkland at Costco is fine if you have a membership. Not sure if there is any difference in it vs...

I gave Gemini a shot (for better or worse). I dont think 1 Intake deposits is credible based on how much inspection you have performed so far. Check out 2, wire harness integrity is interesting. Not sure if 3 is relevant to line 4s the way it discusses a bank, suggestion over my head tbh. I like...

I noticed that too from others oil analysis. I used Edge once or twice, and have since switched to Edge Extended. A couple of its certifications are more stringent and hopefully the viscosity is more robust over a 5k oil change interval.

And the internet never saw an oil thread created again 😄

I never minded the lack of power in my old 2.0 L ‘13. It had a horrible 0-60 time of course, but it wasn’t a dealbreaker by any means. I have a turbo second gen and it’s a bit of a bummer it was dropped for the third gen, but the third gen powertrain isn’t a slouch like some reviews make it out...

Alright, I take it back. My ‘23 totally does this. I had to try on two separate occasions today. Press the gas like you expect the brake to disengage and it will 😂 learned something new

Thanks for confirming. That’s weird, my 23 doesn’t release the parking brake. Edit: it does. New response below
