Separate names with a comma.
I've posted some details in a few other threads about this but figured I'd start my own since I've learned some new info about my car. I recently...
This is increasingly making me want to just take a clean EGR cooler to a mechanic that's done this swap before. I'm too old, busy, and stressed to...
Right, that's what the picture shows but not what the PCV valve in my hand is doing. It only does the leftmost situation when oriented vertically....
So a PCV valve can close (or almost close) in both directions, both under high vacuum and under backfire or engine-off (if gravity assists it)....
Not the supposed OEM one I just received. When I look at it on its side, the little plug bit is slid away from the engine-side opening. When I...
Something I'm realizing is that with a horizontal PCV valve, it will only ever close during a backfire. Vertical PCV valves will close when the...
Yeah, I haven't been able to figure out what exact benefit MOA has that good quality synthetic oil doesn't already have. Or that just changing oil...
If that's directed at me, I wasn't suggesting anyone tow with their Prius. I was saying that while other small cars are rated to tow, I had some...
Supposedly. It's this one and is marked Aisin. [MEDIA] (Edit: it's from Amazon..pasting an amazon link here turns it into an advertisement which...
Here's my wild theory knowing relatively little about these cars, so feel free to shoot me down: People tow light trailers with all sorts of dinky...
Hmm, sounds like maybe it could hurt... (Edit: I realize when you said "have" you meant "half"...I thought you were saying 1 qt in 3200 miles)...
Probably not the correct size, but I wonder if something like this would work. [MEDIA]
Thanks! I'm assuming people just buy the readily available standard formulas, not hybrid versions, which don't appear available on Amazon.
Awesome. Is that your video? I actually ordered the same catch can and it arrived today. I opened it before I watched your video and thought "hey,...
Ditto. Would that also allow you to effectively raise the pcv valve thereby reducing the amount that comes out of it?
Yep, 157k. It honestly drives like a new car to me. The only two things so far that say otherwise are the odometer and more soot in the tailpipe...
Autozone has Continental "fuel and emissions hose" for $2/foot. I can't post links yet, but Continental's product page specifically says it's good...
That would only clean the bottom half/crankcase, though. Possibly somewhat tophalf through PCV. So you're saying a piston soak or any other...
Well, that's where the quote comes in!
Thanks for the guidance. I'm thinking of having a local hybrid specialist (who posts here sometimes) swap the EGR cooler for a cleaned used one...
