I did searcg. surprised to see no topics on this one. I searched several times. what is the best 5w20 I can run in the 2005 4.6L 3v motor? I think I am running 5w30 now but I read they now recomend 5w20. motor is strong, has 14k on it. I have owned it for couple months now. originally owned...

I just aquired a 05 GT from a female at work. she always had oild changed at quick change shop and I am pretty sure she did it regular but I am sure she also used dino oil...and the sticker on the window says something to that effect.. I always used synthetic in my cars but because of the miles...

I have some stuff I got from Pep Boys that was supposed to be good. I forgot the name...but what is a good wax/polish for RED paint? Im buying a used car and I want to make it like new again. its all shiny but I doubt its been waxes in a while

I have used both Penzoil synthetic and M1 extended... I didnt explain that very well. the Penzoil is always cheaper , im not really worried if I dont catch it right at 5k . so I guess the real question was what was a better oil ? the M1 or the Penzoil. I will grab whatever is cheapeest I...

looks like I will stick to Penzoil platinum high mileage

I want to say I have been using M1 extended at walmart so I change less often but now I have reached 100K and I want to keep this wonderful motor running best it can. I get on it frequently and I drive a lot for work. city and highway . suggestions? been using 5w30 I believe.

I have bought it aleady...but still thinking of blending it. dont know...another member of the Rav4 forum told me not to and I dont know what to think now. I mean its on the chart and I dont know what would be difference in the car just cause of a chart. car is not under warranty, has 62K miles.

so what is the verdict? does it matter that the chart posted up is from Canada I am told and I am not ? what about a blend ? since I already have a jug of 0w-20 ? lol...

Originally Posted By: Greasymechtech The 3.5 can get noisy with mileage, and sometimes sound better with viscosity. My recommendation is ANY full synthetic current spec PCMO. Grades: 0w20, 5w20, 0w30, 5w30, 10w30, 0w40, 5w40....it'll run on any just fine. Mobil1 EP, Amsoil, Redline, Toyota...

Originally Posted By: HKPolice Unless you're doing heavy towing or racing the Rav4, 0w20 will work great. ok, didnt know this but ive had the car for 3 days only. I will be picking up some 0w20 soon. question now is which 0w20 ?

I know it calls for 5W30 and 2 people recomend 0W20 can someone tell me why to use 0w20 ? I have not had a car this low in miles in a long time. its a sweet motor. my volvo t5 s70 tranny quit but I dont miss my turbo at all with this little beast

I just bought a used 2006 one owner RAV4 with the nice 3.5L v6 . I have just got around to looking up things and plan on a tune up and oil change soon. its spotless under hood and under motor so I am thinking its clean and tight. I want to make this motor last. I know its the same as in the...

PCV system. Unlike an American car , you must remove the manifold or something. I haven't changed one yet.

Ok. Sorry if I am not following but what should I put in my 99 s70 t5 w/ 150k and running strong ? I am hoping to install new fire trap this weekend, maybe next.

I forgot I had this as it got cold before I had a chance to use it. I now have some liquid gold class plus and the new Armour All wax they must have recently come out with. anyone use them both or either one?

I picked up the polish and I saw they also have a wax that say no film or hazing. I really have tough time polishing my black car and not getting a haze in it. wondering if you guys have tried them.

yes I meant Black Box by turtle wax i understand it has pigment in it..ie black...which would help as both my bumpers have some fading and I dont think or know that clay bar and compound is going to change that.... i thought the black stuff would make it better till I get around to getting...
