  2. Never had a vehicle with a supercharger so learnt something new about requiring oil. I thoroughly endorse the post by Baxter190388 which is based upon his personal experience. As for the supercharger oil change interval, have a read of this URL. https://www.w-body.com/topic/21836-eaton-m90-supercharger-oil-change/ Depending upon the condition of the used oil, consider repeating the oil change after a short interval e.g. drive around the block, next day or next week. 100K km oil change interval should be OK for normal driving but if more "spirited" then an annual change may be more appropriate. Just for background information purposes, I found this URL to be useful.` https://toyota-club.net/files/faq/04-09-10_faq_sc-oil_eng.htm As a parting comment, I am thinking that the supercharger is more mechanically similar to a transmission or a differential. Therefore, engine oil is highly unlikely to be a substitute for supercharger oil.
  3. I have a 2005 Camry Alrise I am trying to program a 2 button remote key fob I bought from ebay, I have tried every instruction I can find on YouTube and the Toyota Owners forum only seen the ones for Aurion but I believe they should be same. I can't get any of the instructions to work as instructed. They never seem to program the remote and the car never appears to go into programming mode. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
  4. Hi Lee-Anne, From what i have read The P0093 code is triggered once the vehicle’s powertrain control module (PCM) detects the possibility of a large fuel leak on the high-pressure side. The code is logged once the PCM perceives a significant drop in fuel pressure within the fuel system’s high pressure rail as reported by the fuel rail pressure sensor. There are quite a few videos on You-Tube about the issue but it is not always for the RAV 4 so worth a look to see if one is for your model. I would be very careful if you intend to drive it as it can go into limp mode at any time. I am sure if any have more information on it they will let you know KAA
  5. You have to use specific supercharger oil. Harrop: 60-SC-OIL-250ML ACDelco: 10-4041 Eaton: as per image There's a few brands, I personally use ACDelco. I put in about ~160ml or fill to the opening port as per some documentation. Not sure how often it's supposed to be replaced.

  7. Im wanting to change the supercharger oil but not sure what to use? Do I need to use a specific SC oil for this? Can I use any Full Syn 5w30 or 10w30 engine oil? How much do I put in? What goes out is what goes in I suppose. How often do I need to replace it? Thanks guys.
  8. Hey guys! I am sort of cheating here, I actually have a 2003 avalon, but the same engine is squeezed into the camrys and there's more people in here so I figured I would rather post here, My 1mzfe is getting 15+L/100km(Dash is reporting 16.9L/100km but when I measured it myself it was less), and I'm not sure why. Fuel trims are mostly fine except for idle, where there is an 8% longft on the front bank. Ive tested it for any big vacuum leaks, replaced the rocker cover, changed the injector rings, and cleaned the injectors a little bit. The only thing I can think of is that I have a faulty injector, for three reasons. One, the consumption, and two, the fuel trims are only a bit weird in one bank, and three, the hot starts. When turning off and restarting the engine at hot, it seems to instantly rev to 300 then stumbles on itself, which I'm guessing is because there is excess fuel in the chamber, or fuel has leaked past an injector. This is actually the only issue in the car that concerns me, because it starts very very dodgy some times, gurgling to 800rpms when hot. Also on cold starts it shoots to 1600 a lot more aggressively than any other car I've driven(maybe its sending too much fuel in?) As for other things, as far as I can tell it isn't burning any motor oil, haven't lost any in 4 months. I don't smell any petrol on starts or when driving, maybe a tiny bit occasionally but its hard to tell, and I don't drive like a madman, Im mostly under the limit because I'm trying to save fuel. Here's what I've done so far: Air filter Plugs, coils, coil leads (Had a bad misfire due to 2 bad ignition coil leads, it was actually reporting better fuel economy before I replaced them) Oil Maf cleaned Disconnected battery and did idle relearns Replaced the O2 sensor on lean bank Let me know what you think, I've ordered an injector cleaning kit to try clean them out more properly, also if I pressurize them and they leak then I will know what could be the issue, but other than that, I don't know what to do.
  9. Can anyone please tell me what P0093 code means?
  10. Last week
  11. I have to agree that the Toyota Kluger Hybrid has a few concerns from me. This is a long email explaining my testing process so read on and see my issue and explanation if you have time. I have had mine since new for just over 18 months. IF I fill the tank from empty ( and I mean completely run out of fuel ) It happened... I had to test it! It doesn't fill to the claimed 65 litre capacity. I am also averaging 6.8 litres per 100km, and I drive extremely conservatively and most of my driving during the week is just myself in the car and air con used only when I'm very uncomfortable to try and get the economy down as close to the apparent 5.6l/100km it's supposed to sip on. . I'll also add that I'm usually on the road for 50 mins a day or less and the commute is in light local traffic. My findings are that the fuel tank is unable to be filled to the 65 litre mark, even when I have run out of fuel and the hybrid battery warning has come on indicating that I have 0.5km left of hybrid battery to get to a petrol station or pull over and shut the vehicle off.. really gets you nervous when it's beeping away and the car is having a panic attack too... anyway, I just made it with 0.1km (100m) left until the car would shut down due to having no fuel in the tank at all and no battery left. I managed to get 834 litres out of the tank of fuel, which based on IF I actually used all 65 litres of fuel in the tank, it would mean my actual fuel consumption figure would be closer to the 8L/100km, however the cars digital info system indicates to me that it was 6.8L/100km.. so off by about 1.2 litre per 100km that's if it actually has the capacity to hold 65 litres. I can tell you it doesn't! So the figure is worse than that. So to further reiterate the fact that the fuel tank capacity (which I believe is the main problem here) can not be filled as stated to 65 litres - Or - it isn't empty due to a design problem/fault and the balance of possible fuel left in the tank is not able to be utilised, I then filled the car from dead empty with Shell Premium 95 fuel. From an "empty" tank, I was only able to fill it with 57.68litres before the bowser clicked and the valve shut off the fuel flow. So, I waited 20 seconds and gave it another burst and it clicked off at 58.48 litres. The fuel tank capacity from that would indicate lets round it up to 58.5 litres, 6.5 litres short of what it should actually be able to physically hold. I then decided to pull the nozzle out and see if it could keep filling in case there was an early gas shut off causing the premature valve closure. I slowly pumped watching the fuel going in to make sure that it wouldn't overflow onto my feet, and I managed to get a further 3 litres, which in one way isn't good, because I filled it right to the top of the fuel cap line. So all I did was fill a full tank and fill the fuel line from the tank to the top of the fuel cap.. something wrong here.. So I have obviously refuelled the car (more than I should have) and then started the car up and waited for it to do it's thing to work out how many km's I will get until empty. I apparently have 804km. WTF? I just put in 61.48 litres of fuel filling it to a point that the apparent 5.6L/100km claimed consumption of this vehicle should work out the distance to empty should be 1100km! Now looking back at the ACUTAL figures released from Toyota, this car should hold 65 litres of fuel and have a travel distance based on 5.6l/100km = 1160km to a tank! So in fact, I'm unable to achieve the additional 356KM as stated. The main reason, lets face it, I purchased the hybrid was; 1. Fuel economy = saving $ at the pump by offset of a higher purchase price, so it's a investment that will slowly pay itself off over a 5 year period. But 2. the main one, when you hear you can achieve over 1000km between refilling the car, that's got me there, who honestly wants to be going to the service station! Neither of the two things you purchase a hybrid for and pay the extra is adding up right now. Sure, it's cheaper than the older 2019 V6 petrol Kluger I had before to "fill up" at the pump BUT 1. I could use E10 in the old 2019 Kluger, cheaper fuel and got around 580km to a tank on E10 2. The old 2019 Kluger itself was $8,000 cheaper than this Hybrid... $8000 buys you a hell of a lot of fuel! But lets base it on current model, difference is still $4200 between the petrol now 4cyl turbo to the Hybrid. Still $4200 worth of fuel average $140 to fill from empty = 30 full tank fills! - that in terms of average km I drive is equivalent to 3 years of fuel.. So moving on, I am now into my 2nd testing phase after the overfill episode explained above where I filled to the point where I had to carefully put the fuel cap back on after filling it up so much.. I have again run the tank down to the "refuel" and hit that after driving 835.2km, which is 31.2km further than the car info provided after I refilled the car. My economy has also improved and now at 6.5L/100km BUT to achieve that I have been pressing the EV button and running that mode in start stop traffic and in carparks.. Still 325km short of Toyota's claim it should be good for. So I am now driving around with a jerry can in the boot waiting to see how much I have left until it stops again and see the actual fuel comparison and I will refill it to the same point again so I know it's full.. For those who read on, sorry for the long message but I hope it may also shed some light on the same problem you are having. I will also note that in the states, where this car is sold as the Toyota Highlander, there has now been a class action against Toyota over a fuel tank issue in the hybrids, which sounds like what I am and possibly a number of other Kluger hybrid owners are experiencing. I will repost my new findings once my Toyota Kluger Hybrid runs out of fuel. I will then be contacting Toyota to discuss so If anyone wants in on this when I contact them, drop a note and we will work out a way to all get in touch!
  12. Does it have an after market roo bar fitted? If so check the connections in and around the bar as they can get damaged while fitting the bar, causing this same indication on the dash.
  13. They have electric PS and are heavier than the average car. It take a little time to get used to it.
  14. Hi Avalon owners, latest video from our Toyota and Lexus GURU The Car Care Nut.. 2014 Avalon 11,000 miles, defiantly worth a view KAA
  15. Firing order wrong? Hahaha
  16. I own a 700 up10 looking for a hubcap if anyone could help
  17. Carbon buildup on valves & pistons is most likely a symptom of the direct injection layout/design. You would lessen the buildup if you did more highway kms, otherwise regular upper engine cleaning is required to maintain it. Really surprised Toyota went with this knowing full well DI is a big issue, hence them moving to D4S in some of their cars. Moral of the story - NEVER buy a direct injection only motor car.
  18. Update. It was the injector! Ended up replacing all 6 though. no problems since.

  23. Hi, we are moving from Canada to Brisbane area and will be looking to purchase a Land Cruiser 200 series vehicle. I'm not very familiar with these but I've seen a few comments around that the 2018 model is better than the 2019? Any truth to this? Also, anyone have any recommendations for best year of this vehicle? Thanks in advance.
  24. Yes it goes away but it sounds so horrible
