If you had any questions as to what kind of oil and/or coolant is best for your Toyota, this might help.

QUOTE(laff09 @ Jul 3, 2007 - 11:55 PM) [snapback]574856[/snapback] How can you compare the 2 photos? I'm just curious, not trying to start anything. The first picture is a motor with 150k miles and the second picture is of an engine with 1/3 as many miles, am i correct so far? Couldn't that red staining, atleast to some degree be blamed on the age of the motor rather than the brand of oil used? your right, milage has a lot to do with it. but that photo is a good example of how a properly cared for motor should look. that same motor will look just like that at 150k. my moms car has had nothing but cheap oil in it. it has about 40k on the clock, and its slowly starting to look like mannys 150k motor. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
