I just had the oil changed and they used a NAPA oil filter{?} do you know
anything about this kind. Also had the back brakes checked, my guy says
they are ok. Although I found some "white oily liquid" on the driveway
dripping from the front of the engine, my guys says there do not seem to be
any leaks in the power steering or any place else. Next? I will put the
cardboard under the unit, and see if we can get an id point or too. Any
other ideas? Oh, he changed the plugs, said that they where junk! Seems we
are ready to roll in WI.

Subject: [toyota-campers] Use Toyota oil filters only.
Toyota dealer filters have a check valve
to stop the oil from running back down in-
to the pan when the engine is shut off.
On start up oil is instantly supplyed to
the valves and timing chain.
Cheap after market filters, especially "Fram"
and the ones supplyed by the quick oil change
houses, do not have these check valves and
will cause excessive wear on your engine during
cold start ups. (Even worse for RVs that set
for long periods.)
If you must use the quick change shop, bring
you own Toyota filter and have them install it.

PS the Toyota oil filter only costs $3 more
than the cheapy.
