Hi all

i recently bought a TRD aurion and i was thinking of changing the engine oil myself but not sure what is best for my car 10w-30?.i use to service my car with liverpool toyota but Crappy Customer Service and most of the guys working are kids apprentice learning on people's cars.i'd rather do the job my self. and I was wondering if a sport air filter is any good ? sports filter can improve the supercharger whine sound

The TRD is no different to the standard Aurion in terms of engine oil requirements. Refer to either the FAQ's or perform a search for multiple discussions on engine oil type.

As for a reusable panel filter, there is nothing "sports" about it. The only benefit you will gain from it is increased service life due to it's re-usability which in as soon as a few air filter change cycles, becomes more cost efficient than a traditional filter.

I dont know why but I have this niggling suspicion that a $35k putt putt wouldn't have a $400k worth of chassis.

There was never a TRD aurion (or any aurion for that matter!) in the USA.

The chance of a new vehicle from TRD Australia is very, very slim.

Guys,

Just saw SuperCheap brochure and found Valvoline 10-30 54.99 for 10ltrs.

Anyone tried it before? Hows the quality? But I recon oil is oil rite? Maybe I'm wrong.

Is it a bargain?

Cheers

Yep.

Valvoline what? Valvoline with SuperSyn? Valvoline Fully Synthetic? Valvoline XLD? Valvoline Engine Armour? Valvoline High Mileage?

Owww I though its only one type. Its Engine Armour.

That is around the usual price. I use it in my dad's 99 1mz-fe with no problem.

On the subject of oil, I am getting a Drift Saphire series oil pressure gauge my car, I emailed tthem about a 'T' piece so I can still have my oil light, they got back to me saying they have a few adaptors and want to know threading size and pitch for the Aurion oil sender is. Does anyone know what these are without me having to take the sensor out to have a look? or where to find this info, would be much appreciated.

Cheers

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Disconnecting batteries, ALWAYS disconnect the ground wire first. Doing this will also disconnect power, in general. Herb

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Hey guys, I’m wanting to disconnect my current winch, lightbar and UHF as I have new plans. I’ve installed a winch previously on another car so I get it’s a case of following the cables and disconnecting from the battery, etc but but safety wise, should I start by disconnecting the battery so the cables aren’t live orrrr? And if so how do it go this haha?

      Snapping wheel and axle studs

      Put a set of standard wheels on it and your problem will disappear. It is critical that the hole in the wheel centre is a snug fit on the axle boss (without wheel nuts fitted). If your wheels are sloppy on the axle boss this allows excess force on your wheel studs and they will break, as yours are doing. If you are unsure of what to do, go to a reputable tyre shop and get assistance.

      2zz idle / roughness when accelerating past 3k

      Hey everyone was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction with this issue I've been facing for a while now. My Celica's idle will drop down to almost 200rpm when stationery after hitting operating temperature. Pretty much feels like it's about to stall out but never actually does. When taking off from a set of lights it almost feels like it hesitates or is down on power and then all of a sudden it lurches forward and gets a boost in power again. Then again around 1,500-3,000rpm it feels down on power and in what I can only describe in the engine feeling scratchy. Past 3,000 rpm it gets a little boost in power again but still definitely feels down on power compared to what it used to be and still has that roughness. Note lift is also not working at the moment but I have changed the lift bolts, planning on cleaning the VVT and VVTL-i OCV's New engine mounts have been installed I changed the MAF sensor about 4 years ago albeit not OEM. After doing some research my main ideas now would be a New MAF this time OEM, TPS, IACV or Coil Packs (Changed plugs 50,000km ago) Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! :)
