    Cooling hose spring clamps questions

    I want to replace the cooling system and heater hoses on my 2010 Toyota Yaris with 145k miles. The Gates hoses that I bought are thicker than the OEM hoses that are on my car.

    Engine burning oil. What to do?

    I have a 1997 Toyota Tercel with 280k original miles. I've been monitoring the number of miles that it burns one quart of 10W-30 conventional oil for a while.
