I want to change the oil myself for the first time on my 95 4runner 3.0, and I want to be 100% sure which under my vehicle is the oil pan. Is it the rectangle shaped compartment farther toward the rear of the vehicle or the compartment more toward the front of the vehicle? Thanks, and sorry...

I have a 95 2wd auto with about 147k. It has an oil leak that requires about a quart to be added every two months. I don't drive very far at all. Usually about 1.5 miles to my office everyday. With all that said, I have begun to smell a burning smell, also by the time I get to my office...

Better fuel economy. A/C on with windows up, or A/C off windows down?

In my 95 2 wheel drive auto 3.0 vze I am getting about 265 miles per full tank of gas. Does that sound about right? Thanks.

When I drive my 95 v6 auto 4runner for more than 15 minutes I notice a lot of hot air near and around the floorboard/pedals. Is this normal? It seems as though a lot of the heat from the engine is filtering into the cab. Thanks.

No, he knew exactly how to fix it, but I just want to do it myself if I can.

On on the evaporator. You have to take the glove box off to get too it.

Okay, I went to my mechanic today, and we discovered that it is full of r134, however the expansion valve is messed up. That's why it will blow cold for a little while, then it will get "stuck". Anyone have any experience on replacing expansion valves? Thanks.

I bought some r134a at autozone and I know it is supposed to fit on the Low side valve, but I can't get it fit on that valve. The "fitting" that is on the bottle of r134 seems to be too big for the Low valve. Anyone have any suggestions on what I need to do? Thanks.

Sometimes my 95's AC blows cold then other times when I turn it on it blows air that is not very cold. Sometimes it starts out cold, then within a couple of minutes it starts blowing warmer? Could it be low on R134a? Thanks.

My 1995 4runner has a stiff gas pedal. Any suggestions on how I can get it a little smoother? Thanks guys.

Hi guys. I just purchased a 1995 4runner, and I love it, however I have a couple of issues with it which I will post in their own threads. Anyway, good to be here.
