    2004 4Runner v6-1GRFE 5k UOA PP 5w30

    Correct. Redline SI Fuel System Cleaner. I trust RL more than others by far. Although I did use some cheap ISO HEAT a couple years ago driving to Pikes Peak on new years; 14k & -15F (up to -30 known). It didn't make sense to me or my chemist friend but the group recommended it. We were told to...

    Best thing to use to clean a vinyl seat?

    Vinyl's quite a bit easier to clean, so soap+water is probably easiest (certainly cheapest). For other applications, Ibiz Sheen is the absolute best I've used. Coke/coffee stain carpet on used car to pen mark on Lexus leather.

    2004 4Runner v6-1GRFE 5k UOA PP 5w30

    Typically I change my oil 300-600mi before the 5k mark. Otherwise I can get busy & beyond 5k. This sample was right at 5k, the factory recommended interval. Guessing 3-4mo on this oil. Drove mostly highway, 20mi 1-way. Also a few mile shopping trips. I've driven some mountain roads, no trails...
