Hey all, I finally have my 1997 Camry oil leak free and it stays dry underneath. However, between my 3000-mile oil change intervals I am adding between 1.5 - 2 quarts of oil to ensure the oil level stays full (keep in mind that I believe with the filter the total oil capacity is about 3.8...

Checked our oil today on our new-to-us 2012 platinum and it smells of gas :( Obviously we need to get this checked out. Is this a common issue?

I am refreshing my 2003 Camry 2AZFE to fix oil consumption and blow by issues. It has about 210k miles. It is consuming a quart every 300 miles and the blowby can be felt from oil dipstick or with oil cap removed. I was having low compression in Cylinder 1 (150), that climbed to 175 on the wet...

Today I replaced AC condenser and also refilled the compressor with new oil. Condenser was wrecked and leaked out, looks like oil was also leaked as compressor was totally empty, not a single drop came out. According to Haynes Toyota rav 4 manual, new compressor comes with 70 ml (2.37 oz) of...

Hey everyone, took a rock into my AC condenser and plan to replace it myself. Wondering how to know how much compressor oil to put back into the system? I have been told old rule of thumb was to dump the oil from the condenser and replace with the same amount, but is it possible that oil leaked...

Gonna start doing my own oil changes for my 2013 Toyota Highlander Plus. I do my oil changes every 5000 miles or 6 months, whichever comes first. Has anyone had any issues using Penzoil Platinum 0W-20 from Walmart? Was going through some reviews and someone mentioned they had an issues with a...

My trusty 07 SR5 with 145k recently started consuming a significant amount of oil. Ever since I got her (with 95k miles), she's burned a small amount of oil. I'd be down around a quart at oil change. This thing is a pavement princess but I've hauled a 4500lb camper with it for two summers...

Hello, I have a leak on 2007 4.7L 8 cyl 2uz-fe Tundra. Can someone please tell me what this is and why it is leaking. Can I fix it myself or do I need a mechanic? Between the lower drain pan and the transmission oil pan/ housing is this leaky area. It has the letters UD and numbers 0221...

I located 2 spots where oil is leaking from my engine. The first was fixed by a simple oil pan gasket replacement. The second is where I'm having problems. There is some sort of sensor on the back side of the engine on what appears to be the middle of the block. It's leaking a good amount when...

I recently bought a 2000 corolla with 150k miles on it for $1,800. The owner never mentioned the oil consumption nor did I notice anything coming out of the tailpipe. A few weeks into owning it, i noticed it would only smoke after coasting downhill in gear. Once I would hit the gas at the bottom...

So I just looked at the dipstick for the oil and it looks to be overfilled and has a weird consistency to it. I can't tell if I can smell gas or not but it's definitely odd. I'm very particular about how much I fill it so I'm certain it was at/below the full line and now it's above... So I'm...

I have a 2019 Rav4 Limited. That I use for a personal and work vehicle. Work I am a rural mail deliverer. Which involves lots of mileage a year. I am thinking i could easily do over 30000 km a year. Or even in miles 25000 miles possibly. Lots of it is stop and go at rural mail boxes, as well...

I've seen all kinds of articles and discussion threads where people discuss how often to have their oil changed, and get into all kinds of detail as to just what brand is best, what filter to use, etc. But if it's so important, why have I seen ZERO articles or discussion threads about the...

Can somebody tell me what the black piece in the picture is, it seems to be leaking quite abit of oil

I've searched common problem threads and have advanced search bout the same topic that's mentioned in the title. There are various reasons why this could be and it's all pretty vague. I'm wondering if any Highlander owners may have experienced this. I noticed that this message in red...

Who has experienced with engine oils in this motor and seem better results with conventional or full synthetic? 130,000 MI 2008 Highlander, all wheel drive. Info Towing: No Driving: 60/40 highway/City

Hello all. Looking for some thoughts/input on my 2013 I4 2.5L 2AR-FE Camry; it seems to be excessively burning oil. I have always maintained the car through the dealer per the manual with 10k synthetic 0w20 oil/filter changes, though I do think this is a bit too long for my style of driving. The...

Hey all. 2007 Corolla CE I have a leak from the transmission at the passenger-side CV axle. For reference, it's the first picture. The second picture is the same except under UV light where I've circled the dyed fluid. I suspect the culprit is a bad oil seal. After looking up parts diagrams...
