Hello everyone, I am ready to perform the job, and I found the Mobil 1 pink grease that everybody is talking about. I found it in our local store, but it says that it meets NLGI specs, not NLGI2 that toyota recommends. Do I have the right product? Pictures attached. Thanks!

2006 Limited. Climate control is misbehaving. I try to keep the temperature at 23 degrees Celsius. All the settings are set to Auto. With these settings I get all king of air blowing from the ducts. Sometimes it blows VERY hot air, and it thinks that it needs a lot of it. The fans are 3 bars...

Kevin, thanks for sharing. With this mod, what happens if you manually turn the map lights on? Will that simply override the "new" behavior and the lights will stay on regardless if the door is open/closed? What happens if you open the door (map lights will turn on) and then you also manually...

Sad. Thx for the input.

Yes, I did click the link and I know exactly what you typed. I actually commented on your search query in my above post (you read it, right?).. Yes, you did find my answer. The post is great. Thank you for that. But you are missing the whole point! This>>>>> "Let me google that for you". If...

lol You didn't get the point, so "let me spell that out for you" ;) If you wanted to show me how to use Google, then show me how easy it is to formulate my question in google and then how easy it is to pick a relevant answer from the results page. Don't show me how you are typing "map lights...

Cool, thanks for googleing. What was your search question that you found this article? Thanks for answering my question! I wasn't looking for mods since such behavior doesn't bother me. But I was just wondering if that was normal and the car didn't have any electrical issues. Thx!

I've noticed that the front dome lights stay off when I open the door. Is that normal? Center and rear dome lights will turn on if the switch is set accordingly. M

I had the chance to try them out right after a snowstorm that happened overnight. I had to drive to a friend of mine this last Saturday, early in the morning. 20-25 cm of fresh snow on the roads, and no tracks whatsoever. I am so impressed!!! On the other hand, I've never had a chance to drive...

I get the same noise. It sounds like you take a metal bucket, lift its handle up and then just drop the handle so it hits the bucket. Happens all the time when the car has been parked for some time, I back up (say from the parking lot) and push the brake. Or if the car has been stationary on the...

Opened the door today and removed the regulator with the motor. All clean and lubed. detached the motor from the regulator, connected it to power and pulled the switch "up" to spin the motor for 4 seconds (or 6 full revolutions). This is the procedure to reinitialize the motor. Attached it back...

The topic of UPS brokerage fees is very well known to me. I've done a lot of research regarding this issue. Lots of calls to UPS and CBSA, arguments with UPS reps, official letters, complaints and inquiries. After a year of fighting with UPS on one side and getting support from CBSA on the other...

These guys have a lot of things, but yes, no shipping to Canada =( ouch.. Same thing with Toyota Parts - Genuine OEM Toyota Auto Parts and Accessories And their search interface is similar. Probably they have the same supplier...

I just found that Wholesale OEM Toyota Parts - TRD Toyota Parts and Conicelli Parts Center are using exactly the same search/browse module on their web sites. The web sites are different but the plug-in inside the frame is 100%identical, except for the price. I bet they are using the same...

I am checking the store right now. Thanks!
