My biggest concern about thinner oils in a smaller engine, is that consumption could go up. I don't think it matters to the engine otherwise.

I always thought that'd I'd avoid problems with oil changes by having my long-time mechanic do them... until he stripped out the plug on the oil pan... The last set of new tires I had put on the '04 at Blain's Farm and Fleet, I complained that they didn't put on new valve stems. Instead of...

Pramitol 25E. It is not for rookies though.

During the 4/8/2024 eclipse... Hamilton County State Park, McLeansboro, IL.

I put a Spectra on my Silverado a few months ago. Cast aluminum. No issues at all. Used a FelPro gasket as well. I also bought a no-name pan (YHTAuto) from Amazon. In comparing it to the Spectra, it was so different (and not in a good way) that using the Spectra was an easy choice.

I'm in Illinois. I've bought vehicles in Iowa, Missouri, Tennessee, Kentucky, Mississippi, and Indiana.

Congratulations on the buy at $3000. Third time was the charm after all...

Also... the trailer itself looks well used... I mean... 'loved'.

Other than it has 2 - 7000 pound axles with a 19500 pound cargo rating?

Can't explain that. Third times the charm? LOL. The Buy it Now price might seem reasonable when compared to the price of a new comparable 2024 model.

The whole Emkay thing makes me wonder if it wasn't in some sort of a fleet, and it was simply damaged to the point that they're not going to deal with all of the time and trouble involved with fixing it.... since it isn't as easy as dropping it off at a body shop for repairs. Much simpler to...

I wonder who "Emkay" is...? https://www.emkay.com/ ???

Agreed. Compare to the 15" spare tire bolted to the front wall in picture #5.

I guess it wasn't mentioned if the vehicle was to be new or used: Used - A minivan. Nothing beats a used minivan. They're reasonably good on gas, not too difficult to park, they can do it all, and won't break the bank to either buy or maintain, and insurance should be reasonable. Here's a...

If you really want to know for sure... cut one open. Since they're free, I'd sacrifice one for the peace of mind. Then you'll be able to tell if the filter media has gotten brittle, or if there's excess dried out glue inside that could possibly break away.

Turtle Wax Ice car wash was one of my favorites. I bought several bottles of it when it went on clearance.

I had three sets of the predecessor to the Goodyear ComfortDrive (which was called the ComfortTred). I was happy enough with them to buy three sets. I'd never bought three sets of anything before (or since). They had a nice ride, good treadwear, and were plenty tolerant of neglect (not being...

GM 5.3 (factory engine) - lifter failure @ 94,787 miles. GM 5.3 (Jasper rebuild #1) - lifter failure @ 97,197 miles (replaced after only 2,410 miles) GM 5.3 (Jasper rebuild #2) - coolant in oil @ 101,011 miles (replaced after only 3,814 miles) GM 5.3 (Jasper rebuild #3) - still in truck...

I see the problem right here.... 300 A A. They're worn out. Shame on Toyota for doing this.

Well, after a long day yesterday, I turned it back in at the airport after 24 hours and 2 minutes in my posession. My biggest complaint was the seats. I noticed fairly early on that they were pinching my hips, and as the miles piled up... it didn't get any better. I'm 6 foot 2 and 210...
