    Synthetic or conventional oil?

    I abandoned / sold the 42 foot Bahamasbahamas.com 15 years ago. I live in the Bahamas for 30 years. Used it to sport fish for dolphin and YFT. 95% of my trips were to an US AUTEC buoy where game fish hung around. I fished alone because my friend that can fish and filet had to work - except on...

    2018 4R - 5000mi Rear Diff oil - full of metal particles

    I changed the OEM factory diff fluid on my 2005 at 100,000 miles, and don't recall any issues - including pieces in the oil. It was black. Viscosity seemed thin. Hard to judge. I used Valvoline 80/90 weight - which is recommended (with normal use) 4runner has always driven noiseless and fine...

    Have you put AMSOIL 75w-90 Severe Gear oil in the T-case?

    Use Valvoline. What a hoax!

    Coolant Leak on Passenger Side

    Sounds like a bad pump leaking coolant. A bad head gasket will suck coolant into the engine and blow it out your exhaust. Try Blue devil stop leak or another top brand. Sometimes they can work for three years. If it don't work you got a $1500 HG job. blue devil head gasket sealer - Bing video

    Coolant Leak on Passenger Side

    Condensation from the AC Isn't there a big coolant container on that side (starboard)? WP is on that side - but toward the front of the engine. WPs are notorious for leaking. If there is water/coolant on your new WP it needs to be checked/fixed. I have 150,000 miles on my WP and alternator...

    Time to change the oil in 4runner

    If you take your car to the dealer or even a shop for an oil change it could be three hours and $120. I've been changing my oil since I owned my 2005 4runner (new). I don't like waiting around. "Bring it in they say" 5 quarts of NAPA in NAPA's 5-gallon container. NAPA thinks of everything...
