I'm paying about 40 bucks for Mobil 1 and OEM filter. Changed in my back yard.

Tried that, can't even get a feeler gauge in there. Also tried grabbing with channel locks, vise grips, etc, turning backwards and pulling, threads don't even start to grab.

Hi guys, I was finishing up my 100K service on my 4R and was at the last item - changing rear diff fluid. As usual, everything went smoothly until the last step. I ordered crush washers, drained diff, filled til oil seeped out fill plug, then I screwed up and forgot to install the crush...

I have been having good luck with a bidirectional bluetooth Autel Can program TPMS too but haven't tried that yet.

What he said. Failing bearings can be felt fairly easily and many times heard when spinning by hand.

I would go with metric, but as stated the bulb side is likely all the same.

So personally I'm not vertically blessed like some, but are you guys talking about seatjackers? I recall hearing tall folk seemed to like them. Jacks the front of the seat something like 1.5 to 2 inches and made things comfortable for tall folk. Edit: Toyota Seat Jackers – Lift & Support for...

South Louisiana not far from swamps. When I get in a hot car after work, I roll windows down, turn ac on auto, and drive a minute or two with windows down to get the super hot air out. Then roll windows up. Usually my recirc is always on, if i feel like it I will put it on outside air but...

If you don't already have some, check out Harbor Freight and buy a set of vehicle trim tools, then pry open the grill. If you hear cracking/popping it could be as simple as the paper cone separating to the voice coil starting to rub against the magnet. Likely best fix is to replace the...

My thoughts, Bypass filter, probably not a bad idea. Extended OCI, probably not a good idea. Oil is cheap, engines are not.

I have been changing my oil on my '14 for 12 years now. When I used a torque wrench after heating/cooling cycles and 5k miles, the filters were tough to remove, even the drain plug. I have resorted to "spark plug tight" for the drain cap, and small slap on ratchet to tighten the filter...

stories like this make me smile. I have a '14 that I bought new, daily drive other vehicles for now but just hit 95K. This one is about to step into just about daily driver status. Also bought a GX 460 for road trips. When folks heard that they wanted to know if i was selling my '14. Nah...

That pic looks like an old school sight glass so you can check for air/gas bubbles when the liquid passes the sight glass.
