idk if it likes it or not tbh but it runs fine I noticed the shifts are more cushioned I would say I don't know how to explain it but it doesn't drop into gear or shift instatnly i now feel a nice cushioned effect when the shift is engaging i assume due to thicker fluid drives good and have...

If you want an oil that becomes a 0w16 after usage get the m1

excited for u to hear back honestly next OCI i will run edge 5w30 or a diff 5w30 that i can find on sale just to test all the flavors for this engine

hey all, just curious what shops will check if tires are balanced for a low price or free? i don't mind paying to get them balanced ofc but i don't want to pay for a balancing package if the tires are balanced and or if some are already in balance any recommendations? thx

a little over a month in and wow oh wow this 5w30 pennzoil ultra platinum is the quietness king made the vvt non existent even tho others have mistaklenly said that oils can never make a rattle go away and that me trying to find an oil to mitigate the issue was equal to trying to find a needle...

Would be cool if we could convert fluid level to quarts of total fluid

yeah even with the math and just eye balling a number 10oz of expansion for 100 degrees sounds about right

Thank you! I totally agree the process on a Toyota is totally doable and I agree with you. The only reason I made this thread is so that newbies such as me and anyone else that may end up overthinking this procedure don’t freak out if they end up setting the fluid level at 117f rather then 110f...

Thanks for the reply but I don’t mean to argue or to make it seem as if I am not budging on my argument. I just think there is a misunderstanding. I stated in post #21 and also My main post that the 2oz argument is only if you did the temp check around 10 Fahrenheit below of above the correct...

i don't see an issue with it at all only as long as the fluid level before you dumped out the old fluid is correct and around the proper level. i know my original post is long but if you give it a read maybe it will give you some mindset relief such that even if you drain 3 quarts and refill...

curious if anyone has had a factory underfilled one

Wow is it modified? Seems like he never wants it to ever be low

That’s a good idea indeed however just curious wouldn’t dirty fluid weigh more then clean? Meaning it won’t be perfectly accurate anyways?

I was thinking on this but was concerned about flow if it restricts too much and or all that jazz

i do agree but just wanted to confirm. lets say a tranny has a perfect level at 5quarts of fluid. and lets say the manufacturer says to check the fluid and set the level at 120F for example sake. With there level check procedure, that would mean if you did it perfect to the T with no errors and...

my apologies if my original post was unclear. I believe there is a misunderstanding on what the moral/tldr of my post was I don't mean to say for people to disregard any level checks. I am just saying how if someone is doing a level check on a toyota that has the level check procedure similar...

wow definetly food for thought, could mean that the thermal expansion coeffiecint could be lower then what i used for calculations above

i totally agree that would be perfect but what i was outlining above in the ppst is even if you miss the perfect range by a little bit due to either pulling plug too early or draining for too long which resulted in passing the upper temp range, the thermal expansion of fluid shouldn't be more...

ahaha all good i understand it is a long read however just some food for thought the remaining paragraphs outlined how in your situation i do agree 30% of temp increase looks like alot indeed however on a fluid expansion basis the diff in fluid level between those two temps with calculations and...

Ahaha no bashing at all! Thanks for the input I actually did the change and now feel stress free agaha
