This. As long as the HT/HS is adequate.

I’ve been installed lots of those kits and so far they’ve been flawless. Especially for the 1MZ-FE. Identical to what you get in the Toyota kit.

The winter rating is irrelevant here. Any oil that has Longlife-04 approval will have a minimum HT/HS of 3.5. That’s what counts.

Boy I doubt that. Propane burns very cleanly with only carbon dioxide and water vapor, and maybe a bit of carbon monoxide if there is an issue. Not a whole lot to make some sort of color or deposit. If there is contamination enough to make a glue change color then that's not something I'd want...

It's a pretty harmless suggestion, the only downside is a tiny increase in fuel consumption.

I’m going to stop by there at lunch. I always find a reason to use the rebate checks, that’s not an issue. Menards has good prices on most everything in the store.

It will be fine.

Why were you worried about not getting a complete drain? Perhaps I was mistaken in assuming you were concerned about mixing oils.

What issues do you see with those? The oils have an API license so they have passed ASTM D6922 which guarantees miscibility. As for the different grades, depending on how much residual oil is left you'll have a very slightly thinner 30-grade since there will be a bit of 20-grade left over. No...

In that case then I would not purchase the product. They do have ones with approvals but the 0W-30 one does not. Without the actual approval then it comes down to trust in the blender, if you don't trust them then I'd suggest you buy a brand that has the actual approval.

What does the winter rating have to do with it? That's a 3.5 HT/HS oil, not a "0w" oil.

What? Anything of reason to back that up?

With the ESP being the same price that’s a better value with the approvals it has. Edit: I don’t know if it’s on the shelf or not but I was able to order it at that price for pickup today.

What happened? Too thick for the pump? How does it act when a fluid is cold?

The ESP is great. I hope it shows up here as well.

Yes, get a reliable UOA that actually measures fuel dilution.

Yes, the repetitive posts that don't actually answer questions. Quite seriously though, you need to find out if you actually have dilution and how bad, or if it doesn't exist at all. And my comment about those contaminates - that's important. If the reference material you're mentioning doesn't...

Thanks for that, it is a good read. Especially this part: https://www.dri.edu/cloud-seeding-program/operations-criteria/

Contaminated with what? That's an ambiguous term, kind of like "toxins". What contaminates are requiring an oil to be changed at 3K instead of 5K? And this is what, the third or fourth time you've said you don't have fuel dilution because you drain out the same amount. Several people have...

That makes sense to me. After all, isn't cloud seeding just providing a nucleation for the moisture to form into a droplet? I'd think the ice crystals would do the same if they were at the proper altitude.
