crawling around the underside of a vehicle with a hand pump makes no sense when it's so much easier to fill from above with a length of clear vinyl tubing and a funnel. Let gravity do the work.

Is this dirtyparts replacement fused as well? If not...I hope that circuit never exceeds 7.5A

My biggest fear with this and every Toyota recall/warranty service continues to be what I'm left with after they've finished. Virtually every one ever performed required multiple return visits to resolve the mess created during the initial visit.

I may be mistaken, but the meter shown in the opening post looks like the $5 variety available at Harbor Freight. I have a collection of those and have found they all read much higher than higher quality meters. I sometimes carry one around in the vehicle I'm driving. While not accurate, they'll...

I knew when My wife bought her ‘14 4R new back then that the plastic housing would break. I bought a dealer replacement and packed it away in a closet. No doubt some Sunday the thing will crack during removal/installation. I’m ready.

The area that the tracking falls off is void of any tall structures. No mountains/hills. Something else is going on, but thanks for your participation.

t've been getting emails from EW companies for cars that have no chance of getting one. Can you say OLD. I guess it's that time of yr.
