I will be purchasing a Mazdaspeed 3 very shortly...and as you guys know, this is a direct injected engine that is very harsh on the oil (fuel dilution)....I was wondering if there was a DINO oil out there that handles fuel dilution very well? I know pennzoil platinum (synthetic) handles it very...

Is there an over sized oil filter for the 2az-fe toyota camry? Or is there a paticular part # oil filter that I should avoid? Reason I am asking is because I come from a nissan maxima crowd...and our vq35de comes standard with the 15208-65F00...which is TINY...us enthusiasts opt for the...

I have a 1mz-fe toyota camry that has a leaky valve cover gasket (both front and rear)...It's not a huge leak at all...I check my oil regularly and my dip stick doesn't even move even after 3 months Problem is, it does burn oil as it drips down the engine...I can smell it while I'm stopped at a...

I'm planning on servicing my cooling system real soon. What is BITOG's input on these "power flush" machines that are used by dealerships? I actually saw one being used and it looks really cool...but at the same time, I also wondered, does it really get ALL of the coolant out? I can get it done...

Hey BITOG, I was wondering if it is safe to clean the TB on my mother's 05 toyota camry 2az-fe? I know it's DBW throttle...and I'm actually kinda scared of breaking something...I'm a Nissan guy and I know VQ35DE TB's are VERY sensitive to TB cleaning...if you manually move the plate, the TB can...

I have an older 95 camry V6 LE...it's my beater car but it runs great...I know it does not come with a cabin filter stock...is there an actual slot or compartment to add a cabin filter? In other words, can I make my non cabin filter camry into a cabin filter camry?

I have a 2005 Toyota Camry LE 5AT....the owners manual says Toyota Type T IV is required for all transmission fluid changes...or else adverse effects will occur and warranty will be voided... I have used the Type T IV, and to me, it looks like regular ATF but re-stamped with the Toyota name on...

My mother's camry just rolled over the 30k mark and I decided to do some maintenance...and as I was looking up info on the tranny fluid, it doesn't say to replace it...and neither does the 60k mark or even 90k mark...it says to INSPECT the transmission fluid... To the toyota camry owners...at...

after doing hours of research on oils and oil filters...I finally decided to just bite the price tag and get a Pure One filter...originally I was going to get a super tech from walmart...since they have great reviews here on the board...but I felt like giving my engine a little something sweeter...
