Mine went dead a couple years ago on my 2012 camry and local shops quoted me upwards of $400 for it. So I YouTubed an instructional video, bought one off ebay for less than $100, and it was going strong up until I sold it earlier this year.
Was doing control arms for my then boss at the time on his Toyota Sienna.
When I was having really bad fuel consumption on my Corolla I put some of the Lucas with a full tank of gas and worked like a champ
Lots of naysayers regarding this. However I started using Lucas in my 1995 tacoma and it got rid of a rough idle, got. better gas mileage, and even got rid of p0300’s codes.
I’ve only used this Mobil1 oil for my 21 Camry SE. I do 5k intervals and it’s been great for the past 60K.
I have Vrederstein hitrac all season on my sienna, used it for 8k miles, so far so good. I do notice my mpg is lower by 1-2mpg though.
I have the General Altimax on my 2000 Toyota Celica GT-S, and they are always surprised to hear I have been about 60k miles on them and the tread is still viable to pass inspection etc.
In comparison to the stock setup, the Bosch QuietCast pads and rotors aren't as touchy or responsive. They do require a little bit more pedal travel for normal stopping power. However, they do offer more precise control over how much power is applied throughout the pedal stroke. They are also incredibly quiet and smooth.
Prestone does work, but Toyota uses RTV to seal the coolant passages between timing cover/thermostat housing and engine block. Prestone uses 2-EHA which has been shown to be aggressive on silicone, however it’s not uncommon to see leaks with the OE coolant that uses sebacic acid which is also a plasticizer. That said, I have a Sienna and LS430 that’s filled with Prestone, no coolant leaks… yet.
I have the same tires on my 22 SE and they suck lol. Mine has the same issue with little pebbles stuck in the treads.
