Separate names with a comma.
You know it never occurred to me that using a trolley jack can be somewhat challenging. When doing annual inspections, the mechanics at a local...
Yeah, that's what I was thinking, position the trolley jack at left front (in between the jack markings), since the car is front heavy, the rear...
Thanks, that's a good idea, and reusable on many cars. Thinking more about it, I may use the spare tyre temporarily, so there's no need to lift...
A lot of maintenances are overdue, planning to rotate the tyres among other things. Can't see any rotation markings on the tyres, they are energy...
Good info, thank you. In a way that sort of suggests that the "easy" method (vacuum from each corner to draw in new fluid) is somewhat viable, it...
Thank you, it's good to know what's involved when doing it properly. Or hopefully that's what the service department is going by. Also thanks for...
Thanks for suggesting Openport, the original is quite dear, but the ones on Amazon looks more affordable. But that's just the interface right? I...
Yeah, that's the thing, it seems Windows 7 is the latest version that is compatible with Techstream. If using newer Windows, then need to install...
Just came across this YouTube video, looks very straightforward using a Mityvac or similar tools. Basically suck out the old fluid from the...
Is testing from the reservoir accurate? I would have thought brake fluid doesn't circulate, it only goes down to displace worn pads, so fluid in...
I saw references to Mini VCI and Techstream in a number of posts. It got me interested in getting a set as well. Just to get the terminologies...
Thank you, they are due to replace in terms of time (recommended 8 years, now well over for a 2008), but not in terms of cycles (still far from...
Is it straightly drain and fill for both engine and inverter coolants? No flush needed? Back in the days I always flush at least once or twice...
Probably largely theoretical, but I always prefer synthetic oil when there's a choice, it is made from higher quality and more stable base oil.
Was at the parts department to pickup oil and filter, Toyota 5W-30 is actually quite competitively priced. However it is dearer than synthetic...
I think that's a good strategy, clean it regularly before the contaminants get a chance to go inside fibre materials.
Unless they are the exact OEM spec, 3rd party filters are sometimes not as effective, maybe for cost reasons or maybe for performance, they are...
Quite dusty, I changed the engine air filter 5 years ago, at the time I didn't change the air conditioning filter, I think it was never changed.
Thank you, was able to find one from an interstate Toyota supplier using your information, much more reasonably priced. :)
The air filters are due to replace, both engine and air conditioning filters. I found the part number of engine air filter: 1780121040. For some...
