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. -=dr=- ----- Original Message -----

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. Jack A2 PS the Toyota oil filter only costs $3 more than the cheapy. |

As far as I know only the VW and the Toyota filters have check valves. If your chain or valves aren't rattling go ahead and make your trip then put in a Toyota next oil change. I wonder if they put in the right plugs? IF you have the 22RE ,the book calls for NGK BRP5EY or Nippondenso W16EXR-U Jack A2 Sent: Thursday, April 05, 2001 6:29 PM |
