  1. Corolla 7th Generation (1993-1997)
    Hello there fellows! I've been restoring an old AE101 '97 here in Venezuela, it was in a very very bad shape from all angles (body, paint, electrical, Mechanical...) I had to open the engine due to an overheating issue, right now I'm using 15-40W semi-synthetic engine oil, but since I will...
  2. Highlander 3rd Generation (2014-2019)
    I just purchased a 2015 Limited and I'm going through and taking care of all maintenance items (even if the dealer said they had already been done) so that I have a solid baseline from which to start with the vehicle. That said, I'm purchasing some Gold Plugs for the oil pan, transfer case, and...
  3. Corolla 7th Generation (1993-1997)
    Hi guys (and gals), I know it’s not a Corolla per say, but rather a Geo Prizm I’m dealing with, it does have a 4A-FE, well I bought this thing and after driving it back home, with a extremely touchy clutch, almost no brakes and peeling out at lights, I decided to change the oil to a synthetic...
  4. Camry 5th and 6th Gen '02-'11, Solara '04-'08
    Hello. I have the 2006 Toyota Camry 4-cylinder. When putting on the oil pressure switch, it seems to get a little difficult to screw in at some point. Is the Oil Pressure Switch supposed to be screwed down until flush with the engine? Or would it be that you would screw it down and when it...
  5. Camry 8th Generation (2018+)
    I bough my 2020 Camry SE used, and every time I change my oil (I drive a lot, and I change it every 5k) I notice this broken piece of plastic. There has been no problems at all and I’m not too concerned with it, I’m just curious. I always though it was some sort of splash shield to prevent oil...
  6. Land Cruiser (1951-2023)
    Oil level question Hi everyone, Just purchased a 2017 with 85k miles. I took the vehicle in for a pre-purchase inspection and the mechanic gave me an all clear signal. This mechanic only works on Toyota/Hondas, good reviews on Google but I’ve never used them before. Just checked the oil...

  8. Venza Gen1 (2009-2016)
    I need a Toyota tech expert's opinion on this or in general anyone that has an excellent knowledge of oil and engine-related parts. I own a 2009 Toyota Venza 2.7L model. Almost reaching 267K. I don’t know if this is more of a dumb question to ask but I noticed in the owner’s manual it says I...
  9. Camry 3rd and 4th Gen '92-'01, Solara '99-'03
    Hello, I put 5w-20 and seafoam into my 1994 Toyota Camry that takes 10w-30. I had just done an oil change, and was planning to change it in like 1000km. I'm not sure if I A) shouldn't drive it at all B) drive it for X km then change the oil C) am fine to drive however long
  10. Camry 3rd and 4th Gen '92-'01, Solara '99-'03
    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...
  11. Sequoia Gens 1&2 (2001-2022)
    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?
  12. Camry 5th and 6th Gen '02-'11, Solara '04-'08
    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...
  13. RAV4 4th Generation (2013-2018)
    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...
  14. Camry 7th Generation (2012-2017)
    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...
  15. General Automotive Discussion
    Hi All, Does anyone know if any Toyota dealers or other automotive shops offer a lifetime oil change deal Southern CA? I know Midas used to have a lifetime oil change deal and I have found some Toyota dealers that do in Northern CA.

  17. Highlander 2nd Generation (2008-2013)
    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...

  18. Sequoia Gens 1&2 (2001-2022)
    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...
  19. Tundra 2nd Generation (2007-2013)
    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...
  20. Camry 3rd and 4th Gen '92-'01, Solara '99-'03
    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...
