    Oil filter color change?

    Rocko9999 is correct. Can't trust Amazon for vehicle parts--see this link to CarCareNut re: fake oil filters.: Fake Oil Filter Caused Engine Damage in This Toyota! BE CAREFUL! - YouTube

    Standing outside the vehicle, is the Toyota logo backwards on passenger side glass?

    The passenger side of your vehicle is possessed. You need an exorcist. Do not delay--your vehicle will soon be inoperable.

    Compact DIY leveling platform for sleeping

    Clever design! The simple design shows that a platform does not have to be a heavy weight monster to be functional and comfortable. Good job!

    Costco Interstate batteries(24f)

    6 years on my first Costco Interstate 24F, 2 years on the second and so far no problems. I have used them on previous vehicles and not had any problems. 5th Gens do have parasitic draw that will discharge a battery if not driven regularly. However, I think 1.5 years is not normal for these...

    Interior Cleaning tips??

    After you go for your mud bath, just drive through the automatic carwash a couple of times with all the windows down. That will fix it.

    5th Gen Head Gasket problem?

    Toyota Red is not OAT coolant, it is IAT (Inorganic Acid Technology). It is similar to the old "green" coolant you refer to. Don't base what happened with GM engines and DEX-COOL with Toyota engines. I don't believe the head gasket failures in the late 90'-early 2000's were due to red coolant...

    5th Gen Head Gasket problem?

    Are you saying that changing coolant at specified intervals is what causes head gaskets to fail? I have never heard or read anything like that. Is this your own theory? If not, would you provide a link to where you got this info? I would be interested in reading it. Thanks
