Separate names with a comma.
I suppose the converse would be that in cold weather, a clogged cabin air filer would prevent less heat from escaping the engine and help improve...
I think I'll give up on the hypothesis. Too bad, it was an easy fix if true. But truth and easy do not have to go together. :( Rumple
The change in mileage wasn't due to the air filter. It has to be ridiculously clogged to even begin to have an effect on the mileage in a modern...
Have you had the fist oil change done on you car yet, or are you still on the factory fill oil? My pet hypothesis is that the rough start is...
It is yet another dealer lie. In the USA, Toyota recommends 0W-20 and allows 5W-20 if 0W-20 isn't available provided you change it next change at...
If it weren't for the potential smell, I would aim for that outcome! Hate the little creatures. Muuuhahaha. Rumple
Oops, didn't get out the camera for this one!
It hit the mid-70F's here in NJ and when the A/C came on I noticed a very slight, odd smell. When I removed the glove compartment to get at the...
Enjoy your new car, always fun to get one! I loved my Mazda RX-7 back in 1981 and it gave me little trouble. Perhaps your next car after the new...
I checked the product data sheets and it turns out that the Mobil 1 0W-20 at a 100C/40C cSt viscosity of 8.6/45.5 is a hair thinner than the...
Mine works perfectly fine with broken lines. I use it often on the New Jersey Parkway and New Jersey Turnpike, both of which have broken lane...

Re: When will Toyota get it right? Since we know that stomping on the brake of the Prius cuts the full throttle power, the story sounds like it's...
Slight terminology issue - mineral oil is petroleum base. See here for this quote "In today's petroleum exploration and production (E&P)...
You are right about M1 having some non-trivial amounts of moly, and as you point out it is only around 10% or so of the amount that the...
The hot (non-W) number specifies a range of viscosities for the oil. The manufacturer is free to place the oil anywhere in that range. For...
Re: Some 2010 Toyota Vehicle Oil Change Intervals Officially Revised To 10000 miles/1 year (verified The dealers not acknowledging the new 10,000...
It is hydraulic. See Mike Dimmick's post here. The diagram is instructive on how complex the Prius's brakes are. In normal use the hydraulics...
Which may indicate that choice of oil is more critical than usual. The high viscosity index Toyota 0W-20 will be thinner on startup than a lower...
Not TRD specifically, but synthetic media vs. paper media there is plenty of tests showing a) better filtering and b) higher dirt load. Google on...
