First post here... From way down in New Zealand.
This is my wife's 97 Toyota Starlet with a 4efe 1.3, we've had it a year or so. Bought for stepdaughter to drive with 160000km, now it's at 170000km.
Does not appear to have had much love over the years, have replaced the radiator and heater core due rust in the system so that's good now. The valve cover pics were taken at about 165000km, since purchase I've done 2x2500km runs with Nulon 5w30 diesel (sn/cf) and 1x5000km run with the same, all with Ecogard x4476 filters from Rockauto.
The filter shots are from today at 170km, a fair bit of muck coming loose and getting caught so am curious to take another look under the valve cover, probably won't be much difference but it's had to come from somewhere!
Today's change was with Delvac mx 15w40 to see if it'll use a little less oil, and because the price was right when I bought it... New filter is an Ecogard s4476.
Thanks.
