10k oil change variables right hereVehicle; 2002 TOYOTA tundra sr5 4x4 access cab 2uzfe 4. 7L v8 non vvti/ interference motor Oil & oil filter; ROYAL PURPLE Mileage; bought at 123k miles & am now at 216k miles almost 100k miles of 10k mile oil change variables Method: #1; i drain for 20 minutes #2; install drain BOLT #3; use. 5 QT. Of new oil mabey 1Qt on BIGGER engines #4; drain for 5- 10 minutes#5; reaplace filter & oil filter#6; fill with oil#7; drive for an hour or atleast 30minutes recheck & fill if needed Royal PURPLE oil filter & oil Filter is 15 or 20 microns and is glass media, thick metal shell, the best filter for the on the marketI use 5w30 as recommended & i need to redoa transmission flush with 16qts so ill be using ROYAL PURPLE& i use thier octane booster As a fuel cleaner & stabilizerI typically run 87 chevron or 91 anything else if need bI also may have ate a few paint chips as a kid but im still heRE

I seldom so strongly disagree with you Scotty but you got it completely wrong on this video. It was irrelevant whether those engines were made in Japan or the US. It was a DESIGN PROBLEM that would have happened no matter where they were assembled. You went on and on about made in Japan when it was just a poor design. The real problem is companies are trying different things to increase efficiency at too fast a pace, and unfortunately when you combine new designs with higher complexity, there is not only more that can go wrong, but higher repair costs over the life of the vehicle when they do. This is the kind of problem that results from government dictating the necessity of technological change instead of leaving it to the experts. Other automobile manufacturers are just making different design mistakes. When you rush something its bound to turn out worse than if given enough time to do (and test) it properly.

Scotty is entertainment for sure. Thats the main reason I watch. As far as objective of car quality evaluation goes, its best to look elsewhere. His hardcore bias against certain brands is almost like a racial or ethnic bias. As this video illustrates, all car manufactures are capable of making serious errors. And sometimes they take an action that is best for their shareholders and throws their customers under the bus. Not good for long term customer loyalty. Also, nothing stays the same with these big corporations. There are constant management and engineering talent turnovers. I personally believe that Toyota has peaked, and the quality has been stagnant for quite a few years. Other companies that are eager to gain market share are doing what it takes to improve their reputation - they are slowly building better and better vehicles. The Korean manufactures are a prime example.

Scotty Kilmer I have a question for you regarding Toyota and I thought this was a good video to ask this question: why is Toyota beginning to outsource their engineering for certain models like the new Supra, the 86 and Yaris? I dont really care about the sports cars, but I have always liked the Yaris. The Yaris is now a Mazda-based design (its essentially a Euro Mazda2) and I would love to rely on buying a used Yaris into the future, but I dont trust Mazdas overall design reliability in comparison to Toyotas. I find this increasing trend by Toyota very disconcerting. Why is Toyota doing this? Also, you have arguably the best car channel on YouTube. Keep up the great work and thanks a bunch

I bought 07 Camry 2. 4. I found out after purchase that the prior owners did not take advantage of the enhanced warranty fix. The warranty period expired. So, I did the repair myself. oil consumption kit with 4 new pistons 429. 00. What I found is the piston design is ok, it was the 2 piece oil ring that plugged up so bad with carbon. Overtime the oil gradually plugged up the inner spring ring that hugged the piston then the small holes in the outer ring plugged. New oil ring design allows the oil to quickly get to the piston oil return holes.

Scotty I have a 2006 Pontiac G6 6cylinder. Everything is wrong because face it its a Pontiac. But most importantly the electronic steering shuts off randomly whenever Im driving which is obviously dangerous. Ive looked up some forums and a lot of people have the same problem but GM has not put a recall on them. Before spending a lot of money on swapping out the electronic steering motor do you have any idea what the actual problem could be? Theres a lot of electronic issues with this car so Im thinking it has something to do with the cpu?

About a month before my 2006 RAV4 was recalled for excessive oil use I was at the dealer for a different problem. The dealer did their 57 point vehicle inspection and everything was perfect. When I brought my car back for the oil use problem - guess what? In a matter of 4 weeks I had 8 oil leaks. My engine oil pan, the front cover, the valve covers, etc. Not only that but my rear differential and all my wheel bearing were leaking. They said they couldnt do the oil use problem unless I spent 2300 to fix all the problems that had popped up.

WHAT ABOUT THE GAS PEDAL STICKING RECALL They never had my 2010 Matrix listed on the recall, but it happened to me twice. almost crashed, once it stuck, the other time the car mat slid up under. two different recalls for these issues. Car accelerated out of control in winter, after spinning free from a snow covered parking lot. I ended up jamming on the brakes after swerving a bunch and shutting the car off. Revved wide open, even with foot off the gas, and clutch pressed. Hasnt happened in 3 years since though.
