  1. To answer some of your follow up questions: 1- this is the same recommendations for CVT transmissions except the fluid is different. 2- This does NOT apply to hybrids. Hybrid ECVT transmissions don’t have clutches and a valve body, you can change it at any time. A good interval is between 60k-90k miles. 3- ECVT hybrid transmissions use WS fluid I will update this list as I go through the comments to answer follow up questions

  2. 😂 I would actually put that Celica on the don’t buy list today if it’s rusty. Seen too many here in the Chicago area where you can’t even lift them anymore from rust

  3. To answer some of your questions READ THIS! This applies ONLY to the 2GR-FE 3.5L engine in the transverse configuration. Typical models that can have this are 2009-2011 Toyota Venza V6, 2007-2011 Toyota Sienna, 2008-2011 Toyota Highlander and 2011 Toyota Highlander Hybrid. On the Lexus Side 2007-2011 Lexus RX350 and 2010-2011 Lexus RX450H. It does NOT apply to other engines and it does not apply to the GR series engines in other models that are not transverse( Like 4runner, Lexus GS, Lexus IS....etc). It also does not apply to the 2GR-FKS engine which is the updated 3.5L engine which did have a metal line from the factory. Some models like the Camry, Avalon, ES350...etc did not have an oil cooler from the factory so it wouldn't have this oil cooler line. The best way to check if your car is affected or not is by inspecting it just as I showed you towards the end of the video.

  4. Thank you for sharing your expertise! This is the non watered down version of this video! And it’s very well said! I have been humming this drum for a long time. Automotive Engineers are pushed to their limits and then some with strict emission standards and an ever changing automotive industry.

  5. Thank you Sir!

  6. Very good question. Yes that is totally fine just don’t keep going for weeks and months on that weak or dead battery. Many may ask but how come. You’d be surprised how some folks life’s are very busy and they can’t attend to the car and they prefer just to jump it and keep going.

  16. It’s always a red flag when a mechanic inspects your car then offers to buy it. If they want to buy your car they should offer before looking at it and ask you how much you want for it before the inspection not after
    101
  17. Let’s clarify one thing that many have commented about. Center locking differential. There is models that have both 2Hi,4Hi free unlocked, 4HI locked ( center diff locked ) and then 4Lo. Many have mentioned that there is not such thing. I encourage you to research the 4th generation 4Runner VF4AM transfer case on the V6 models which is essentially a modified full time transfer case to have an option of 2WD driving. It does have a TORSEN center differential and can be shifted in 2WD as well. That was called multi mode 4WD system. So in my video when I included the center differential on the part time 4WD I was referring to this particular case. So YES there is a model with center differential and is technically speaking a part time 4WD. The terminology can be taken out of context here. Thank you.

  18. Thank you for your awesome argument with the service tech! If it’s a lifetime fluid it should come with a lifetime guarantee against any issues fluid related!

  22. On 4:31 of the video I mentioned drain, I wanted to say fill. So you always take your fill plug first before the drain plug. For non hybrid transmission fluid replacement see this video https://youtu.be/eRxSu4-4ojo

  24. IMPORTANT INFORMATION —— READ BEFORE BUYING / COMMENTING! Updates : For every one that asked about the updates. They are 3 years included and I asked the manufacturer about what’s after that here’s their response: If the software is not updated after three years, the old software can still be used, but the updated vehicle coverage cannot be obtained. The renewal fee after three years is $99 per year. Customers can send the order ID to xtoolofficial@hotmail.com to get additional discounts of updates now. Availability : it’s out of stock on Amazon. I contacted the company they said it’s in transit. Features : this scan tool works on multiple makes and models not just Toyota. Contact the manufacturer for questions before buying to see which features apply to your model. They seem very responsive so far.

  29. In Chicago where I'm from it's very normal for me to see 300-400K miles 3rd gen Prius and Prius V that run like a champ that are cabs. However cab drivers are professional drivers and they really take care of their cars. I was on a trip to Sema a couple of years ago and in Vegas they had Prius V taxis that ran on propane which I thought was pretty cool! They really started with the 3rd gen prius and especially the Prius V is a popular one.

  56. If you own a Prius Prime Refer to page 133 of your owner's manual.( Capacity reduction of the Traction Battery). And If you own a RAV4 Prime refer to pages 121-122 of your owners manual . Yes there are safety measures in place, However the battery is more stable at less than Full charge and preferably mid to lower charge. If you charge a traction battery to actual 100% there will be much bigger issues than reduced capacity over time. The safety buffer is designed for liability and overheating issues. If longevity was the intent then the charging schedule over complication wouldn't be needed and that would be a huge waste of R&D for the manufacturer. I highly respect your opinion, And with that I present the facts from my side. We can debate this for a long time, In the end using the charging schedule is not a difficult thing to do and is recommended by the manufacturer so I stand with the advice of following the manufacturer's recommendations on this one. For the sake of education for myself, If you have access to information that I was not provided during the factory plug in hybrid training from Toyota or the thousands of pages of print provided by Toyota to their employees and dealer associates Please share such resources if possible, I am eager to learn more and even though I am factory trained to work on these systems, I always could always learn more and want to learn more. Thank you for your comment.
    33
  57. Good idea. Thanks
    32
  58. Thank you my brother. Yes I plan to do one for Lexus and scion in the near future

  63. Hi! A video to clean the engine is planned in spring time. Hard to do that in the winter.
    29
  64. Hi! Thank you for watching my channel! So first I’ll say this. The idea of replacing the transmission fluid is to refresh the additive package and the small amount you replace does just that. People often are chasing after replacing the whole fluid and in some higher mileage transmissions that’s actually not a good thing honestly. Having said that on the method you mentioned. It works but you have to be careful. Running the transmission low sends air into the pump and could really cause more issues than good. If you must do this procedure I would overfill the transmission a bit then drain that excess so you always have enough fluid
    29
  65. Car enthusiasts are one of a kind 😂
    29
  66. Thank you my brother!
    29
  67. Honestly auto repair is a craft that is acquired through experience. Schools that offer online courses are legit but useless in reality. You can find as much or more information for free online but the hands on experience is what’s most important. I would start with basic tasks. Every task you’re about to do read and watch as much as possible online then try it. The more you do the better you get.

  79. Hi Jake! Turning on the heater is beneficial to cars which have a heater valve so it would open. In this engine there’s no heater valve so there’s no need to have the heater on. All the heater being on will do is slow down the temp rise to open the thermostat

  83. Hi Dan. Thank you for your comment. These issues are the most common on sienna vans that I work on which are many. However the idea of this video is not to worry owner but more to warn those buying one of what to look for so you won’t end up buying a bad one that’s neglected
    22
  84. I would replace it every 60k miles or 6 years whichever comes first
    22
  85. And he cannot be more right on this one

  86. Hello Charles 😀 thanks for dropping in! Keep up the awesome work on your channel! Love your videos!

  87. Just to clarify this does apply to 2007-2011 Camry hybrid models. The filter part no is G92DH-33010
    20
  88. I was referring to owner operator cab drivers which we have a lot of. Most fleets maintain their own cabs and we won’t see them at the dealership except for disasters
    20
  89. Very good recommendation! He’s actually drawing that up for me.
    20
  90. Cold fluid is not a constant. Cold for someone in Florida is 50 F in Chicago it’s -25

  91. Well Allyn let’s hope that day is very VERY far away! The world needs our awesome Lawn Care Nut! 😀Thanks for watching my brother

  92. Honestly I would always recommend checking a used car before buying it regardless. If the dealership did a good inspection it should be a point of pride for them to have another mechanic check it.
    20
  93. Find part 2 of this video here https://youtu.be/t7W7uLYeLKo
    20
  94. I recommend you replace the transmission fluid every 60,000 miles and 6 years. Replacing every 1 year 10,000 miles is excessive waste and actually not the best thing for your transmission. A video to show you how to replace the transmission in your car is in the works and I will upload it in the near few weeks. Thank you!

  100. I dislike the dipstick situation as well. Some technology and features are cool and usable but the lack of a dipstick is not cool
    19
  101. Glad I could help! Congratulations to your coworker on joining the Toyota family!
    19
  102. Priscilla Then thank you for your comment! Allow me to explain. By using the same brand of gasoline you will allow the additives of that particular brand to work. Although most gas companies use similar additives but each companies formula is slightly different and the real benefits of these additives come with consistency which you achieve when you use the same brand. No additive is magical and works with one tank fill up. Some will argue this point to the end, but the idea here is the effect of the additives over a long period of time. If you plan to keep your car only for 3-5 years after buying it new then this is not going to benefit your wallet much. But if you’re keeping your car that 10-15 years or more then it will benefit your engine in the later half of its life. As a general rule of thumb with cars the small things that you do to care for your car multiplied by time equals longevity and reliability. Example of that is using top tier gasoline of the needed octane rating over time will lessen the chance of excessive carbon build up as the car ages.
    18
  103. The Lexus GX is based off of the land cruiser Prado which actually shares a lot with the 4Runner and is a very good model to buy

  106. Thank you for watching my channel!
    18
  107. Thank you! 4.25” is required we have 5” that was one of the first things checked.
    18
  108. Thank you! It’s been a life changing time and it continues to be thanks to you and all the car care nut viewers! Things are a bit in the air now but should start smoothing by June
    18
  109. Thank you for chiming in! Your expert input is highly appreciated! I wish people would listen and stop wasting their money.
    17
  110. I estimate it will be reliable. We’ve already seen some over 100k miles on the hybrids with Chicago taxis and they had almost no issues.
    17
  111. Very good advice! Will do a video on that soon actually! A lot of people don’t know this!
    17
  112. The fluid was low to begin with. This is why I always encourage people to check the fluid level even if you drain and add the same amount
    17
  113. The total was 5 digits 😉
    17
  114. I actually volunteered for it 😀. Same for the FRS/86 Mazda and the Prime cars. You never stop learning and working at a dealership you’re stuck with one brand with no room to learn other makes but this is my chance
    17
  115. Try to drive it for 5-10 miles every week and don’t let it sit continuously for more than 2-3 weeks. The negative effects on the battery from sitting are not immediate and happen over time.
    16
  116. Being Toyota they really took their time with this engine if you look industry wide a lot of other manufacturers already had similar technology a long time ago but it was problematic and rushed. Toyota usually takes their time with testing and doesn’t rush things at least on the Toyota badged cars that’s why they’re reliable
    16
  117. Thank you for watching my video! I don’t think it was a waste to replace the other parts. Keep taking care of this van and you’ll easily have it at 300k miles
    16
  118. Good info thanks Jacob!
    16
  119. Hi! It could very well have different tuning. But as it sits it’s actually capable of pulling a 4runner or tacoma very well. It makes a lot of torque
    16
  120. Hi george. The idea is to refresh some of the fluid to keep the transmission protected. Replacing the whole capacity very frequently is actually not good for the transmission. And doing the fluid every 30k is ok but a bit on the early side. Replacing it every 60k is safe
    16
  121. Likely going away from it except the v6. The new 4 cylinder went back to spin on
    16
  122. The zip tie trick also works very well as well. Basically anyway to keep the connector secured.
    16
  123. Usually they only break when they haven’t been opened for a very long time like 10 years or more or if the car overheated before
    16
  124. Hi! A cool down period after hard driving or hot climate driving is highly recommended. Basically idle the car for up to a 2 minutes before shutting it off
    16
  125. This actually does work with very small leaks from old original gas caps and if you have a slightly rusty filler neck where the cap O ring sits
    16
  126. Thanks Ali for the tip as well! Adam dont say that! We can’t stop learning! Thank you for watching my videos!
    16
  127. Hi! Around 25-30% which is sufficient to keep things protected
    16
  128. Your advice is spot on honestly! I just can’t seem to break old school mechanic stubborn habits! But I’ll try. I really appreciate you and hope you’re having a wonderful weekend.
    16
  129. 😂 barely broken in
    16
  130. Thank you Brian! Just wish people would listen! Merry Christmas
    16
  131. Hi Dave! Typically the majority of certified cars end up needing tires, brakes and some filters or some minor maintenance like that.
    16
  132. Honda makes good cars as well. Toyota however has a slight edge in reliability and simplicity. Honda on the other hand has a slight advantage in innovation and driving dynamics
    15
  133. 2016 every 120k. 2017 every 60k
    15
  134. I’ll try my best to get it done as soon as possible! Thank you.
    15
  135. Yes! I’ll make a similar video for scion and Lexus as well
    15
  136. We don’t charge storage fees for cars they are yet to be completed. Completed cars we have charged storage fees when the owner promises to pick up the car at a reasonable time then they don’t show don’t call and won’t answer our calls for up to a week.
    15
  137. I’m sorry to hear about the ID theft. I hope you can get that resolved very soon and get your 4Runner! Best wishes!
    15
  138. That’s the Toyota way! If they see a problem common enough and expensive to fix they’ll extend the warranty on it
    15
  139. Mechanics use their arms often to explain things, it’s just a habit 😉
    15
  140. They are very similar as the video said. Everyone has an opinion. From what I see on the field they’re the same.

  141. Thank you for sharing! They’re really good vans and when taken care of like your van they last for a very long time. One note regarding the fuel filter, your van doesn’t have a serviceable oil filter. Just a sock type filter at the fuel pump. So that’s one less thing on your to do list. God bless you and I hope you have a wonderful day.
    14
  142. I’m glad you all are safe. Hope nobody got hurt
    14
  143. Thank you for watching my video! Cycling from neutral to drive in a hybrid transmission does nothing mechanically inside the transmission other than release the parking pawl.
    14
  144. Please report it
    14
  145. 😂 next video title should be I bought a transport ship to get your cars into the shop
    14
  146. Agreed and Done!
    14
  147. Very true be careful of counterfeit parts. Video coming on this In the future
    14
  148. Michael, I understand where you’re coming from. Spark plug companies and engineers will have their theories that they have reached through their testing which I respect. However they are not the ones changing spark plugs on actual daily driven cars, mechanics are. And through experience this is what works best. I’ve had spark plugs break on stone cold engines but never on a warm engine. And on Toyota’s never had a thread strip because the engine is warm or even hot. Neither have 21 technicians in the dealership where I work. So I’ll go with that. If out of every 5000 spark plugs removed, none strips, I’ll take my chances and recommend that my viewers do the same.
    14
  149. Keeping the heater on is a general thing when it comes to bleeding coolant. However the reason you do it in certain cars is to open the heater valve. The 2GR engine doesn’t have a heater valve so coolant goes through the heater core at all times. Turning on the heater will cause the coolant to take much longer to warm up to open the thermostat
    14
  150. We’ll cross that bridge when we get to it 😅
    14
  151. Thank you for watching my brother!
    14
  152. Hi! A mesh behind the grill will work. It won’t block air flow
    14
  153. Thank you for watching my channel! The 86/FRS/BRZ video is in the list but it’s one I dread because that’s a car that I have extensive experience with and my opinion of it could be hurtful 😀 I’ll get to the video in the future
    14
  154. Thank you for watching my video! I think using power mode going to a steep hill is actually a perfect scenario where it’s helpful. It gives you more power to go up the hill easily.
    14
  155. Thank you Doug!
    14
  156. Hi! That’s not a problem. That’s actually motive force that rocks the car when the electric motor starts the engine. That’s why it won’t start the engine when it’s in neutral. Nothing to worry about.
    14
  157. Congratulations on your corolla hybrid purchase! Thank you for watching my video!
    14
  158. Yes that is what I’m doing. Wanted to wait to get the video out before I “butcher” the foam 😂
    13
  159. Yes that is correct but won’t support newer models after the last update
    13
  160. Agreed! That’s why they took their time making it and didn’t rush it out to have the latest and the greatest at the same time as other manufacturers.
    13
  161. 😂
    13
  162. 😂
    13
  163. She’s back in good hands. The new owner wants to fix it up and keep it for sometime.
    13
  164. Beautiful product! Will check out your products and hope you make them for the newer models
    13
  165. That’s a good price Jon. Is that Toyota extra care?
    13
  166. Thank you for watching my video. You’re not overdoing it. It wouldn’t hurt to do things a bit early.
    13
  167. Glad you’re ok!
    13
  168. That’s a shame to see dealership mechanic skimping on the back plugs and only changing the front! Very unethical and just wrong on every level!
    13
  169. Hi! For rear drums you’ll want to back off the star wheel pull the drum off and check the lining thickness. Also check for oil leaks from the axle seals
    13
  170. We’re putting the LS back together in another weeks time. A LOT left on it! Wish us luck and stay tuned!
    13
  171. mugensamurai thank you for your comment! I can make a dedicated 8 speed transmission fluid change including the rav4 once I get a car to do the filming with. You never ask a lot, I greatly value all viewer video requests and suggestions and highly consider them if possible!
    13
  172. Hi! Thank you for watching my buying guides! So I personally score consumer reports for cars very low on accuracy and on giving a complete picture. They usually sample a small number of consumers. Resale values speak louder to a cars true state than any consumer report will. In the case of the 4Runner they are truly solid. They have the lowest rate of “disaster” style issue that are chronic. They of course have their issues as you see in the video but they are not major issues that makes one thing it’s not worth buying. I see examples come in the shop with 200k miles with full service history and all that was done is maintenance brakes and tires. I see this a lot more in 4runners than other models. Having said that Camry hybrids are also solid but in my opinion they are below the 4Runner mainly due to their tendency of burning oil if not maintained right.
    13
  173. I hear you my brother! People pay top dollar for dealership service, it’s essential that they get top service at the very least.
    13
  174. That's a very good question. There's such a system in place in every car which routes the vapor back to the neck to stop the pump. That's why it's important that once the pump stops to be on your way. If you keep pushing it with more and more eventually even the safety system in place can't keep up and fuel will make it to the canister. Engineers designed the system very and put a warning not to top off because even their brilliant design has limitations of misuse or even flat abuse.
    13
  175. You can ask the dealership to do an oil change but you’ll have to pay for it or you can do it yourself
    13
  176. Amen!
    13
  177. So I would adjust the tire pressure when cold if possible. Sometimes that is not possible as any driving over 1 mile will actually change the values and temperature. If you’re adjusting then when the car is hot I would inflate them to the pressure on the door + 4 psi and that’s your hot tire pressure if you would.
    13
  178. Hi! There was a flare up of these but seems limited to 2019 and very early 2020s not an on going issue as far I’ve seen
    13
  179. Hi! Honestly I don’t like that style filter. If you’ve ever had to clean one you’ll know why. It’s a messy process and you always have a question mark if the filter is clean enough or not. And all that for not really much gain if any at all.
    12
  180. Hi! I would follow your owners manual as different markets cars could have different programming.
    12
  181. I wouldn’t say the V6 would last longer. It is also complicated and have modern technology. I’d say regardless of which engine you have of the two if you take care of it,it will take care of you
    12
  182. I wouldn’t use any grease on the spark plugs on Toyota models. On batteries if you keep the terminals clean you shouldn’t need grease as well
    12
  183. Hi! I would skip the 3000 one as it might be much just one at 1000 then at 5000
    12
  184. Amen! The lord bless you and keep you as well!
    12
  185. When the flush is done right it should actually replace more of the fluid than a drain and fill. The transmission flush should be followed by a fluid level check. If the dealership is recommending a drain and fill id go with since that’s how they’ll warranty their work. The drain and fill replaces enough fluid to keep everything fresh and protected.
    12
  186. Hi! If the 2023 follows the tundra which more than likely it will, it will be reliable but not like the old school one or at least initially when it first comes out. If you don’t mind the gas mileage you can’t go wrong with a 2022.
    12
  187. Thank you Ben! It’s a must to have fresh air in the winter for the same reason. Pinned.
    12
  188. Thank you! Congratulations on your purchase! Beautiful SUV! So far the rav4 has been holding up wonderfully without issues. We’ve already seen high mileage ones without major issues. Keep up your maintenance and do your oil changes every 5k or 6 months if you plan to keep it long and you should have no issues with it at all.
    12
  189. Hi Rick! Thank you for watching my video. 1- you don’t need to turn on the heater before bleeding as this engine doesn’t have a heater valve. 2-you don’t need to turn on the heat at any point during the procedure this is also because this engine doesn’t have a heater valve. 3-That is correct. This engine doesn’t have a heater valve to isolate the heater core when the heater is off. Coolant is circulating through the heater core at all times. When you turn on the heater the fan comes on and the blend door directs air over the heater core. 4- on this engine you want the setting to be on OFF when doing this procedure.
    12
  190. I’d have to say a certain 2014 Camry that had an intermittent gps issue not moving when the car moves. It took a couple of weeks of going wire by wire while driving around and waiting for the problem to show up
    12
  191. Odor from the ac could be caused by lack of ventilation to the ac box behind the dash. You always want to leave the air on fresh air to bring fresh air and not have air circulation.
    12
  192. priusguru I was just checking your channel out! Nice content! You are correct on the max SOC. Our internal training documents actually indicate that max and min SOC are variable based on many factors most of it has to do with temperature. I wonder since you are actually checking the PID for max SOC has it ever varied from 84% and what’s the min you have seen?
    12
  193. There is! I call them air horns 😆
    12
  194. Give the other cheek my brother! May the lord bless you and your family.
    12
  195. 😂 you got it!
    12
  196. You likely should as you’ll save a lot of money on gas.
    12
  197. Hi! This question comes up a lot. Engines don’t really lose their lubrication immediately. So when the engine shuts off oil is always circulated and they won’t shut off for hours at a time
    12
  198. Very good question. Although the manual lists the same conditions I personally would try to run the engine or operate in hybrid mode the first 500 miles
    12
  199. Hi! 2 more videos for the sienna coming up!
    12
  200. With the hybrid fan filters they always used this color. Agree 100% that a white filter would be better
    12
  201. Hi! I would actually recommend the 5k 6 months more on hybrids! Even though they don’t run as much they’re constantly shutting off and back on.
    12
  202. I would love if someone would engineer a zapper to zap them when they try to steal the cats with some glitter show and cameras
    12
  203. Thank you for watching my videos! I did test it on terminals under the hood on a 3rd generation Prius and it worked. It picks up battery voltage and it starts charging.
    11
  204. Thank you for your efforts in making this video possible!
    11
  205. If you inspect them properly you could buy a decent one with mileage but be aware that buying one that’s neglected and has a lot of issues for cheap is not a good idea especially if you’re going to use it daily and to make a living
    11
  206. Hi! The tow hitch is part of the frame on these. I’ll need to look into it if it’s possible to add one
    11
  207. Hi! Thank you for watching! I plan to do a similar coverage for scion to complete the Toyota family coverage!
    11
  208. Thank you for watching my video. So I want you to know something about carbon build up. It’s possible even with non direct injection engines. With bad gas and bad running habits like starting the car very cold for a short period of time and not letting it warm up repeatedly. On direct injection engines things are worse and could build up even with normal driving conditions. On Toyota’s D4S system that is greatly reduced but still possible with the conditions that would cause a non direct injection engine to carbon up. Does that make sense?
    11
  209. I am starting to slowly switch from dewalt to Milwaukee they make really good tools
    11
  210. Congratulations! Don’t worry. Take care of the car and it will take care of you!
    11
  211. Take it back to the dealership. If they tell you it’s normal politely ask them to show you another Camry hybrid so you can hear it yourself and compare.
    11
  212. Honestly I would wait especially if the coolant looks clean. There’s no need to waste money. When you do get to replace it then use original coolant and you’re good to go.
    11
  213. I honestly didn’t see it coming unless word got out internally that the sienna is ditching the gasoline only model and when the 2020 highlander came out with the 4 cylinder hybrid model with the p810 it was clear what the sienna was going to have
    11
  214. Here it is https://youtu.be/eRxSu4-4ojo does apply to the 4Runner as well
    11
  215. Hi! Transmission fluid every 60k miles or 6 years. Coolant every 50k or 5 years
    11
  216. Hi! When the fan comes on it’s a guarantee that the thermostat has opened. And revving the engine up to 3000 rpm for 10 seconds through experience didn’t do anything
    11
  217. Yes it is. Watch the other video for explanation and exact process to check the fluid level.
    11
  218. I’ll start working on a similar video specific to hybrids as some of the things are different no need to warm them up like conventional automatics
    11
  219. Hi! I would start the engine and let it idle down then you’re ready to go
    11
  220. Hi! On this one it takes transmission fluid
    11
  221. I was able to disengage the parking brake on the one in the video just by pressing the brake and clutch then disengaging it. Try that
    11
  222. Thank you!
    11
  223. Just keep an eye on the fluid. If it starts to drop rapidly then address it otherwise you have time
    11
  224. Honestly Japan Vs. US made used to matter in the past but nowadays they are almost if not the same. I plan to make a video where I'll go in depth of comparing two cars once I get identical cars different builds.
    11
  225. Hi Marjan! So the hybrid transmission and rear differential video is scheduled to be filmed Saturday and should be done and released next week!
    11
  226. I am on the look for a scan tool that gives you the most capabilities for the least amount of money for diy mechanics
    11
  227. You’ll usually get trouble codes when the system has problems. If the check engine light is off you’re likely good
    11
  228. Hi! It’s not bad to change it at that mileage. You’re good to change it
    11
  229. Turbos will always wear out at some point. Either they leak oil or they have play. I own a car with twin turbos and one of them is already starting to leak oil and there’s nothing I could’ve done to prevent it. Perhaps that’s why Toyota isn’t in a rush to put turbo engines back in their Toyota line up. Lexus is the only cars that has a few models with turbo engines.
    10
  230. Thank you for your comment. I specialize in Toyota, Lexus and scion. I don’t really have the same experience with other makes that’s why I keep it Toyota related to give you advice from actual day to day experience on cars that I know inside and out.
    10
  231. Hi! They usually alter the signal of the throttle pedal so it basically emulates you pressing the throttle pedal fasterz
    10
  232. Other than this big issue that’s now resolved you should have this car for a long time without issues
    10
  233. Hi Adam! I agree with you actually 100%. The reason you’re getting better gas mileage is not the premium fuel, it’s the fact that it’s ethanol free. If you could get ethanol free regular gas you’ll actually get the same good mileage.
    10
  234. Hi! The Lexus could have different programming even though it’s the same engine. I would follow the recommendation
    10
  235. Thank you for watching my video! Very awesome observations! So the newer hybrids have the ability to pick up when it’s going down hill automatically and will try to help the brakes automatically. Also the reason the rpm goes down is the car decreasing the effect of b mode as an acceleration method.
    10
  236. Each mechanic has their experience. I shared my experience on this engine from tearing down a lot of them for oil burning. Unlike the 2AZ-FE which DID get a warranty extension of 10 years 150,000 miles this one didn't get anything yet. Hope Toyota makes it right and does the same one day.
    10
  237. Thank you!
    10
  238. Hi! Yes it is the same engine in your RAV4 hybrid.
    10
  239. Thank you for a great machine! We use it daily and I am still amazed by the build quality. Wish you the best and hope to have this machine for years to come.
    10
  240. Hi! There’s a GX470 video planned hopefully soon. I’ll see if I can integrate a GX460 as well in it or make a separate one
    10
  241. Thank you for watching my videos. Having the ac or fan running with the car on or ready on will not kill your battery as long as it’s in park not neutral. Parking for a short period of time is ok. Very long and frequent parking with the hvac on in any car is not healthy for it long term. I recently drove a sienna hybrid for an extended time and I love the thing! The interior is very impressive. They’re already out at least in Chicago find one for a test drive and see how you like it.
    10
  242. Thank you my brother. He’s always at the center of it all.
    10
  243. You’re very welcome! The car is in great shape!
    10
  244. Very true! I remember when electronic throttle became main stream and everyone said it was going to be a disaster and here we are!
    10
  245. Hi! Thank you for watching my channel! So the idea is not to let your hybrid sit for as much as possible. In your case I think you will be good. The idea of sitting is in months at a time. For example folks that stay in a different state in the winter time and leave the car parked for 4-5 months every year.
    10
  246. That is ridiculous! Most dealership in your area would do this for free, especially the selling dealership!
    10
  247. Hi! The electric water pump lasts a good amount of time likely more than the mechanical one and your car has electric power steering and the motors are also far more reliable than the previous hydraulic systems
    10
  248. Hi! The battery vent is located on the passenger side rear seat edge between the seat back and the door
    10
  249. Hi! No preventive maintenance on the electric power steering
    10
  250. Hi! The fluid temp range on a 2019 Camry 8 speed transmission is 95-113 F. You’d want to start draining the excess at 95 and that gives you plenty of time to drain the excess before you reach 113.
    10
  251. 🤣😅 lol cause I actually know what I’m talking about regarding this car
    10
  252. Hi! It doesn’t really make a difference.
    10
  253. Hi! It can be done both ways. Some engines you can’t pull for the top that’s why they remove the subframe. Taking the hood off takes literally a minute. 4 bolts and a hose and it’s out
    10
  254. It is a big accomplishment! Good job! Thank you for watching my channel.
    10
  255. Thank you Lloyd!
    10
  256. And honestly most of rarely goes bad
    10
  257. You can switch to any of the modes while driving without harm.
    10
  258. Thank you for watching my channel! I’m happy to help!
    10
  259. Thank you for watching my video and more importantly thank you for your service to our country 🇺🇸
    9
  260. Thank you so much for watching my video. Most journalists drive the car around town and call it a day for the review and usually focus on areas that most Toyota shoppers don’t care about. I figured I’d give it a shot. More reviews coming in the future.
    9
  261. Hi Michael! Emails are very backed up at the moment. Leave your questions as comments and I’ll get back to you
    9
  262. It was very tempting but no. One bundle of joy is enough for me!
    9
  263. Thank you! The beauty of humans is our different views and opinions on things. I don’t let thumbs down or negative comments affect what I do. I created this channel to help people and that’s who I’m focused on 😀
    9
  264. Hi! I honestly am not a person to ask about Hyundai and the genesis. I have a very harsh opinion of the way they do things and can be extremely biased when it comes to that company. I don’t have much experience with them and try to avoid them when possible
    9
  265. Thank you Dave! Cars change and evolve but they remain cars, people just have to keep updating their information to keep up just like mechanics do
    9
  266. I remember that one! It was the second car I worked on in the new shop!
    9
  267. Hi! On lifting you’d want to do your homework before. If you’re going will a slight lift you could get away without changing anything else. If it’s a high lift you’d want to drop the differential for sure and watch the angles of the axles and the driveshafts.
    9
  268. Hi! On resale value without a question of a doubt the Lexus. The BMW X3 is just not good flat out. The GLC300 costs almost the same as the RX but it’s a size smaller as the RX is comparable to the GLE and the Lexus NX is more like the size of a GLC. The GLC is a very nice SUV handles nice and is filled with equipment but not as smooth and refined as the Lexus RX. The Lexus RX is not as athletic though. Depends on what your preference is. The GLC long term will cost you more in depreciation and maintenance/repairs than the Lexus RX.
    9
  269. 😂 would a 99 ml320 suffice?
    9
  270. Thank you! If you can find the same specifications like temperature and reach then yes you can change to iridium.
    9
  271. Hi! This is not the first time there’s an issue with a new model. Things happen. Toyota is very quick to resolve issues with new models and are very strict with dealerships to report on new models. For some reason the tundra is getting too much press. When the “legendary” V8 tundra came out back in 2007 valve springs were breaking on them similar to how the waste gate is, no body complained then. Things will happen with new models that’s why they have a warranty.
    9
  272. Its a waste of money to some that never had issues with their cars. And to some it’s a must because they’ve had a bad experience that left them with an expensive out of pocket repair and wished they had an extended warranty.
    9
  273. Buy the right warranty and have a keen eye on issues and this story will repeat over and over! Glad you found good use of the extended warranty
    9
  274. Hi! Tell the dealership to look for a TSB for an auxiliary fan installation and they’ll take it from there
    9
  275. Congratulations on your corolla purchase! Stick with the 5k oil changes and change the trans fluid every 60k and you’ll have no issues.
    9
  276. Hi! Multiple drain and fill cycles is beneficial if there’s contamination
    9
  277. Hi! The regular hybrid Prius is very conventional. Heater core for the heat and regular aC system. The coolant going to your catalytic converter is to help heat up the coolant faster for efficiency. The catalytic converter warms up very rapidly when the engine starts so it uses that heat to warm up the coolant faster.
    9
  278. You shouldn’t be. This model rav4 is one of the best money can buy. Just make sure you buy a good one that’s been taken care of and continue to maintain it well and you’ll have it for years without major issues
    9
  279. They are pretty bullet proof as long as you maintain them. Neglect them however and they will be a nightmare. Oil changes every 5k is a very good idea on this engine.
    9
  280. Michael, From experience removing spark plugs from a completely cold engine is actually not advised. Removing spark plugs from a very hot engine is not advised. A warm engine is best as the aluminum expands a bit and gives you a similar effect or natural heating to get the plugs out easier without risking damage to the thread. This is my experience from doing hundreds if not thousands of spark plugs.
    9
  281. Some of them are like that but usually window motors are not like that
    9
  282. Don’t feel bad. Everyone is overpaying for cars these days, at least you got a good car.
    9
  283. Hi! They both will last long but the 2GR might have a slight advantage
    9
  284. That's a very good method, Thank you @Flagmichael I will add on most hybrids the 12V is so small it might not be able to handle turning a starter on another car and you could end up having 2 dead cars! All the 12V battery does on all Toyota hybrids is turn on a computer and energize a few relays then the high voltage battery takes over.
    9
  285. You’d want to have the car driving rather than just start it and let it sit idling. I’m working on a video about car storage best practices that will have a section about hybrids. You want to drive the car 5-10 miles at least
    9
  286. Hi! The 2AR makes a quick rattle that can be normal and not to be mistaken for a VVTi rattle
    9
  287. Jack stands are pretty stable in my opinion if they are a good brand that are well made. I am not worried as you see in the video.
    9
  288. Hi! That is actually the correct sequence. When the D light is off it’s below the temperature range. When it’s on solid then it’s within the temperature range where you’d need to adjust the fluid. If it starts blinking then it’s too hot you’ll need to abort and wait for it to cool down
    9
  289. Very true it’s right there might as well.
    9
  290. Thank you for watching my video! On the transmission my stand across the channel is the only thing that is sealed is the new transmission case you will need when this one goes out for lack of fluid maintenance. I would replace the fluid every 60k or 6 years. Here’s a video you to show you a workaround to get the level right without a scan tool https://youtu.be/eRxSu4-4ojo this also applies to 4runners.
    9
  291. Hi! Every 50k or 5 years
    9
  292. Hi! I know exactly what you’re referring to. No resolution to this yet and nothing official yet but it could be a normal characteristic of the heat pump system. If I know more I’ll let you know in a video
    9
  293. Thank you for watching my videos. All cars have their problems including Toyota. Anyone who claims that Toyota has zero problems with all their cars and you'll drive it to 300K miles without doing anything but oil changes is not saying the truth. However they are very reliable and dependable cars when you compare them to other manufacturers. The cost of ownership overall is lower than other makes and not always. For example if the owner chooses to neglect the car things will get so bad it will cost you a lot more to fix than other manufacturers because of the high quality parts used. Toyota parts are more expensive than others but they don't fail as much.

  294. Hi! So all these options were given to the owner. I actually inspected before hand and knew that a short block was highly likely so we gave the owner a best case scenario and worst case scenario. The used engine route would’ve saved him just under a $1000 but they didn’t want it. As for a $1000 difference you get essentially a new engine

  295. I’d much rather work on today’s cars honestly! I remember the first obd2 cars the computers were slow and usually were horrible with diagnosis. The newer ones have a massive amount of data that you can access to see everything and understand what’s going on. And they are super fast with refresh rates! Starting around 2016 and up with the 7 digit trouble codes things got even better as you didn’t have to go digging for information codes which give you more detail on a specific code. More on this when we get to it in this series

  296. Hi Dennis! Thank you for watching my video. So the way the engine sits in the car makes it difficult to work around. For example a belt tensioner is a massive job on that engine. A simple alternator replacement is complicated as well. While the 3.3L in the 2004-2006 you can do even head gaskets with it in the car the other 3.5L engine requires engine removal to fix a lot of common oil leaks on it making it less DIY friendly as most DIY mechanics don’t have access to a lift and usually work on jack stands
    9
  297. Hi! Oil doesn’t have a shelf life. It only starts it’s 6 month replacement interval when it’s in an engine
    9
  298. Gas mileage was the main and possibly the only reason why I don’t have a V6 Camry.
    9
  299. You’re very welcome! That was a very well cared for 4runner. Enjoy it with health.
    9
  300. Hi Bob! Some dealerships will get themselves in this situation. If the battery failed on a certified car they can replace the battery as their reputation should be more important than a cost of a battery!
    9
  301. I would recommend you try to run the gasoline engine or use Hv mode as much as possible in the first 500 miles or so
    9
  302. They didn’t do the repair with new parts. I advised them to perhaps look for used parts instead at their convenience and once they do we’ll continue repairs.
    9
  303. I think it’s a very nice looking suv
    9
  304. Thank you for watching my videos. The filter installed from the factory is just a factory filter and the oil is normal nothing really special added. Perhaps the material is different but in the end the replacement filter also meets the standards of Toyota. The original filter could be higher quality but the replacement filter is also good quality and more than capable of doing what it needs to do. If the replacement filters were inferior and not good you wouldn’t hear engines lasting 300-400k using the replacement filters. I service many cars daily through my job at a dealership and draining the engine oil on new cars first oil change at 10k doesn’t look good. And I understand some people will go by a lab analysis but I go by real world results.
    9
  305. Yep same here. That soft touch material is going to be comfortable as you wait for the tow truck. People care about how reliable the car is and if it has any obvious disasters that would make owning it an inconvenience. Funny every car they recommend sells terribly and every car they bash sells great. Example of that is the Kia stinger.
    8
  306. I’m sorry you ran into the issues. At that consumption rate it’s kinda hard to keep it filled
    8
  307. Review coming up!
    8
  308. Toyota is very good about keeping parts for older models. Not everything but important parts that you might need they are available. Parts supply seem to start slowly dropping as you approach 25 years.
    8
  309. Hi! I think that’s actually a decent price for a decent car! That year is very good, it has low mileage and seems to have good service history. I would go for it if she likes the car and can afford it.
    8
  310. Hi! Becoming a Lexus technician you will share many of the core classes and education however as you reach the higher levels of certifications there are many model specific courses that are different and on the Toyota side there’s actually more training required especially on the hybrid side and PHEV side. So if anything it’s the opposite. It’s a smoother transition from Toyota into Lexus than Lexus into Toyota
    8
  311. Hi! If you settle for the lower trim rav4 which is close to the price of the cross it might be better value as it’s slightly bigger. But as far as build quality they are very similar and reliability as wwll
    8
  312. The CVTs in toyota land has been reliable overall. Many have well over 200k with no issues.
    8
  313. It’s not specified it mentions frequently. That’s why I usually say play it safe and not guess and change it every 5k miles
    8
  314. Thank you for watching! I am in the early stages of working on that video. You’ll see it on the channel in the future.
    8
  315. The inverter coolant needs to be changed along side the engine coolant first replacement at 100k or 5 years then 50k or 5 years afterwards. The thermal grease is not serviceable and should last the life of the inverter. When the ipm is getting replaced or removed then it gets replaced.
    8
  316. No transfer case. They just have a normal transmission that’s exactly the same as a 2WD model. In the back they have a differential which has a motor and actually Toyota calls it a rear transaxle. It has an electric motor and a wire that runs to the back which powers the motor when needed to achieve AWD. The fluid on that is also Toyota ATF WS and needs replacement every 60-90k along with the transmission fluid. Very simple drain and fill.
    8
  317. Hi! Honestly to answer your question without the crystal ball I would wait a bit for the details on the upcoming tundra hybrid. When that comes out we’ll see if a truck hybrid works or it doesn’t really get good gas mileage. With a 4Runner you’re likely better off buying new and keeping it long. At any point if you want to change it they hold their value so well you won’t loose as much
    8
  318. No issues driving it for a long trip.
    8
  319. Hi! Yes I do recommend you do a break in oil change at 1000 miles.
    8
  320. Exactly! It’s horrible and wish Toyota would chase those knock offs
    8
  321. Start with the customer experience center.
    8
  322. Thank you for watching my video! Unfortunately that’s how the 8 speed is. Just know that there is no problem and nothing is going to break let’s just hope Toyota comes up with a software update to improve things. They have once which you already have but let’s hope for another. Do voice your opinion to Toyota directly. The more people do that the more they will likely resolve it
    8
  323. I'm sorry about that. That was not the intent with this video! I'll tell you this though. If your car is not leaking per the instructions that I've shown in the video likely you won't have an issue. If it's leaking now or up to 60k or 5 years which is a long time for your car it's covered under warranty and you shouldn't even think about. You have a very beautiful car and one that will easily last 300k if well maintained.
    8
  324. They’re not that bad….. if you have a good extended warranty 😃😆
    8
  325. I think 2018+ Tacoma v6 will be more reliable especially in the first 5 years. Similar issues with the Tacoma engine for oil leaks and coolant leaks.
    8
  326. Hi! I wouldn’t replace the filter as they almost never get clogged. I would either drain and fill or flushing using a machine.
    8
  327. I would engage everything every month or two. Yes you might not use them ever but come time to sell the truck one day and imagine the prospective buyer coming to buy your high priced beautiful 4WD truck and the first thing they do is engage them and they get stuck and not you’re stuck with flashing lights. I would take 2 minutes every month or so to switch through all models and go back and life is good.
    8
  328. We’ll break down how much this costs in a future episode
    8
  329. B some of them yes. Every model has its common issues and there’s no going around it. That’s with every car regardless. You can’t go wrong with this year range or the model after it. Only thing is in my opinion is that the new model prices are a little steep compared to this year.
    8
  330. Hi! Did the climate change? Cold weather has a significant effect on gas mileage. Also I would check your tires and brakes as they also have a big effect on gas mileage.
    8
  331. That’s a very good question. Not all dealerships are good. And not all mechanics within a good dealership are good. Your best bet is to get to know the advisor and the mechanic working on the car so you’d know who’s taking care of your car and can make a better judgement if you should trust them or not
    8
  332. That video is in the list and coming in the near future
    8
  333. Glad you had that one fixed under warranty! This is a one time issue, the new transmission won’t have this issue again.
    8
  334. Hi Jeffery! You can’t go wrong with RAV4s they’re very good cars. Like everything else they have their issues but overall they’re far more reliable than their competitors. They’re very DIY cars and you have actual mechanic experience so it will be even easier. May the lord bless you and keep you my brother.
    8
  335. Hi! The 1GR engine is known for its vibrations at low rpm and its normal
    8
  336. Hi Charles, I am a big believer in if it’s not broken don’t fix it. I wouldn’t change ignition coils just because. I would change the plugs and reuse the coils. I would leave them dry as they come like that from the factory and I’ve never had a coil stick before.
    8
  337. Hi! Yes 2009-2010 corollas had a wave of them when they were new.
    8
  338. I would use any good quality fluid. Toyota doesn’t really have a dealership fluid. The factory filled stuff comes in a big metal container and costs a small fortune and is nothing special really. Any fluid from the parts store will do.
    8
  339. Timing cover vs valley heat exchanger… what do you think is worse to do?
    8
  340. You can’t go wrong with the 2018 Avalon. I very rarely see them in the shop for anything other than maintenance.
    8
  341. We tried that. It didn’t do it. It needed to be heavy rain
    8
  342. There’s no 3.5 in a Camry hybrid?
    8
  343. Hi! Honestly I’d rather you leave the coolant alone than not use distilled water. It’s expensive but the components you are replacing the coolant for is even more expensive
    8
  344. Hi! On average 2.5-3k or 15-20 hours of labor
    8
  345. The key thing is to understand exactly what maintenance is due and WHY it is due at this time. And as far as oil changes are concerned changing the oil at 5000 miles keeps the guessing out of the picture.
    8
  346. Key thing you mentioned, Oil changes every 3k miles. There's nothing wrong with this engine design wise, don't do oil changes on time and it will start burning oil. Your car's engine is testimony to this.
    8
  347. Hi! The oil change is very simple on these. It’s a spin on filter and one small cover with 4 screws exposes both the drain plug and oil filter
    8
  348. This Prius requires synthetic oil. If the owner doesn’t follow the recommended oil for the engine that’s not a bad design, that’s user error.
    8
  349. Hi! Terraclean works but not as much for the EGR
    8
  350. Hi! Thank you for watching! A temp gauge wouldn’t hurt. However it’s easier to get a small electronic one that uses the computer sensor like a scan gauge or something similar. Less intrusive.
    8
  351. Non tundra truck owners think so. I guess their definition of a real truck is one that breaks down all the time?
    8
  352. flagmichael thank you!
    8
  353. Find part 1 and 2 here in case you missed them : Part 1 https://youtu.be/hBFnVeDURQM?si=BQPK5lsC7hpUbTRw Part 2 https://youtu.be/8P5bY-vaqmY?si=04gLn_iRWvHjixKu
    8
  354. Actually so far we’re only doing drain and fills on the CVT and I recommend it as well. Make sure you use the correct fluid
    8
  355. I hope everyone was ok from the accident.
    8
  356. The 2020 corolla has been very solid so far. I’ve seen a few with over 100k already and things are going great.
    8
  357. That is the best logic here. Usually you’ll find original parts at 10-20% off MSRP. But when it’s 50% it’s a red flag.
    8
  358. Hi James. The timing chain has a wear indicator on it, it was fine. And the water pump was replaced not long ago.
    8
  359. Hi! Honestly Jason 7-8k is good 5k is better if you do repeated short trips which it sounds like you don’t. As long as your decision on the interval is based on your driving conditions you’re good. Most people read the first line of the maintenance book not the whole thing and that’s how problems start
    8
  360. On the alternators. The newer alternators on Toyota’s say around 2007-2009 and up barely produce any amperage at idle and it does so by design to reduce drag on the engine and reduce emissions. That’s why starting the car and let it idle for 15-20 minutes after jump starting it won’t really charge a dead battery back up like it did in older cars
    8
  361. Thank you for watching my video! You bring an awesome point that comes from experience! Thank you for your valuable input!
    8
  362. Hi! It would be but Toyota doesn’t really have a full engine as a purchasable part and plus we could use the experience as this engine is very common in a lot of models
    8
  363. I think if the mechanic is experienced with engine work it’s not difficult. The timing is a bit odd because of the intake gear but otherwise pretty straight forward
    8
  364. Thank you for watching my videos! I try to keep a positive attitude at work but I admit there are moments that things go south and it becomes hard to stay positive but that is rare and I usually keep my cool it actually makes working on cars go better.
    8
  365. Yes they do and more than you think. Some of them fail some are holding on well.
    8
  366. As of today I would lean towards a 2020. The 2021 has an active oil burning problem without a solution so far.
    8
  367. Hi! The recall is not a big deal. The pump has a manufacturing issue. They’ll drop the tank replace the pump and life is good. Take it in with as little gas as possible and make sure to check the fuel gauge as soon as you get it back to make sure everything is working fine.
    8
  368. Hi! I would look into a 2005-2008 corolla if it’s a similar generation to the one in the us.
    8
  369. Sequoias and older tundras don’t have cats on them. 4runner V8 and GX470 do have it
    8
  370. The Lexus LS can be a great car to own. Just know 2 things. You gotta buy a good one. And don’t cheap out on repairs and maintenance because things can get out of hand when you get one that’s neglected
    8
  371. Not really honestly. High mileage engines that are well maintained shouldn’t have sludge built up.
    8
  372. I usually don’t like additives as most of them don’t do much. Regular on time oil changes are best.
    8
  373. Hi! Amsoil is good but expensive and at your intervals Mobil one will be just fine
    8
  374. Hi! It’s not bad to spray it directly just some folks over do it and that cleaner ends up in the intake. If you spray it directly just don’t spray too much
    7
  375. Very true! One note on premium fuel, not having ethanol is not always the case. Very few states allow this while others don’t.
    7
  376. Hi! Ethanol free gas is much better for cars
    7
  377. The pop noise was notorious and only on 2011. Annoyed a lot of people. One of my coworkers bought one of the first 2011s and it had the pop and still has it with over 200,000 miles nothing changed
    7
  378. Hi paul. So the glitter in the oil is a concern. But I wonder if the oil that used by that shop could have an issue. Do your next oil change much earlier to see if the glitter is gone. These engines can take a beating but you’d want that debris to be out
    7
  379. Hi! The mesh that’s on the panels serves as a filter on your model.
    7
  380. Hi! That engine is identical to the A25A except the displacement.
    7
  381. Thank you for your comment. I’ll say my opinion regardless of who I work for. I work for one of their dealerships but they don’t own me and my opinion and if they have a problem with my opinions and threaten me with it I will quit in that moment. The truth is more important than any corporation and their politics.
    7
  382. The only benefit from CVTs is fuel economy and emissions. Costs are actually higher for a CVT especially the one with first gear
    7
  383. Your corolla with that engine doesn’t have the same oiling system as this engine. Your corolla has a standard oil pump that is not variable like this one. If memory serves right that engine was ok with 0w20 or 5w20
    7
  384. I agree John. We’ve already seen a few with over 100k taxis in Chicago and some other dealers have reported over 200k and a viewer recently mentioned one with over 300k.
    7
  385. If you missed part 1. Find it here https://youtu.be/hBFnVeDURQM
    7
  386. Hi! Surface rust typically doesn’t flake. Hard to describe but real rust you’ll see and feel the metal getting thinner
    7
  387. They are exactly the same with the non shared parts like cosmetics being Lexus quality and also good
    7
  388. Thank you for watching! Would love to check out your 80 series and feature it on the channel
    7
  389. Detailed video for the GX hopefully coming soon
    7
  390. Thank you! I’m glad I could help! The 130k mile service is essentially a 10,000 mile service so you shouldn’t expect more than an oil change and tire rotation and a general inspection. If it needs anything else that’s not making sense you’re welcome to ask any questions you have. It’s my pleasure to help my viewers with any way I can.
    7
  391. jim shortt Hi Jim! I would at least try to drive it every 2-3 days for at least 5-10 miles. You don’t want to leave it sit for 2 weeks then all of a sudden drive 150 miles then back to sitting.
    7
  392. Honestly this generation Camry hybrids is solid. I haven’t seen a single issue with these at all.
    7
  393. I would to do such video but I don’t have the same experience with honda as I do with Toyota. If I don’t know what I’m talking about I’d rather not talk about it honestly.
    7
  394. Thank you so much for watching my videos! I really appreciate it and glad you found them useful. Tell me more about the off-road over landing Toyota community, I would love to stop by to say hi.
    7
  395. Frank, I’m doing well how about you? I already have the ml320 and she’s misbehaving which is the norm.
    7
  396. Hi! Honestly they last closely the same with the semi metallics getting a bit longer life but tend to get a bit noisy towards the end of their life
    7
  397. Hi! Just push them in for now. Considering a fork lift. For now just me. Hard to find good technicians that I trust and can afford
    7
  398. Hi! I haven’t really experimented with aftermarket ones to recommend a specific one
    7
  399. Thank you for watching my video! Honestly the leak from the front timing cover wouldn’t cause a measurable oil loss on the dipstick. It will make a mess and smell but not oil loss. Likely your car is burning oil which is normal for its age and mileage. Just keep an eye on the oil level and you should have no issues going the 300k. I wouldn’t invest money into the timing cover fix unless you have too much smoke or smell.
    7
  400. Hi! Some issues when they first came out. But if you’re buying one I would test it a few times to make sure it works properly and it doesn’t make any popping noises when it opens and closes. Most of the issues were with the very early ones but I haven’t seen any issues after that
    7
  401. Hi! It is scheduled and will get filmed.
    7
  402. Yep! There’s a shortage of 10mms so now we’re switching to 8 😂
    7
  403. Hi! Typically cars that has severe frame damage that would cause issues would be totaled by the insurance company and you’ll see it on the history of the car. Normal accidents that are not very major typically don’t get frame damage that causes issues like you mentioned
    7
  404. It is odd. It takes literally 2 seconds
    7
  405. My brother! Much respect for you! Independent shop mechanics have a lot of challenges with working on anything and everything! Gets hectic! Keep the right attitude and don’t let this industry turn you sour ( because it will if you let it) and separate yourself from the “sour” crowd and focus on bettering your knowledge everyday. We can never stop learning!
    7
  406. Thank you! The 600k project is coming back! We’re hoping to start next week or the week after. The gold one as well as time allows will be fixed on video.
    7
  407. You made me laugh! I do sleep, Well a little bit! I am trying to build the channel to help as much people as possible. Personal interaction with my viewers is a top priority, I have notifications set on my laptop and phone to respond as quick as possible to any questions or comments.
    7
  408. Hi! So a drain and fill for the coolant is good. On the transmission there shouldn’t be sludge if the fluid is replaced on time. If it’s way overdue then perhaps drop the pan and clean the magnets
    7
  409. Amen to John 11:26
    7
  410. Hi! Unfortunately some dealerships play these games and not listen to their customers. TSBs can be an issue actually. Just because there’s a TSB on something doesn’t mean it automatically applies. There’s due process for TSBs like VIN ranges and applicability
    7
  411. Hi! Yes that works and it’s the easiest way. However if you don’t want to buy a tool just for this job you have another way to do it
    7
  412.  @billthompson301  I haven’t seen any issues with either transfer case other than seized actuators from lack of use. Thank you for your feedback on the mileage difference
    7
  413. Hi! The multi mode is not available anymore as honestly it was overkill to begin with.
    7
  414. We labeled them by area. So dash upper, dash lower drivers side passenger side. And in some cases by major components. All seat bolts go together, all bolts related to the backseat area go together.
    7
  415. Will do! That’s one I’m waiting for as well!
    7
  416. Hi! At this point the damage is already done for this one. But perhaps once it gets replaced it wouldn’t be a bad idea
    7
  417. I am working hard to get this one out as soon as I get my hands on a RAV4 to film with. The filters there’s 2 are part of a panel that’s on both sides of the back seat bottom. So as soon as you open the back door on both sides look underneath the seat and you’ll see a vent on each side. No need to remove the vent to clean it just run a vacuum to pull any debris out that’s stuck on the mesh of the filter and you’re good to go. If you shine a light and it looks clean and clear then you’re good to go. Removing that filter involves removing a few surrounding panels which I will cover in a video in the future.
    7
  418. Honestly the reviewers are comparing it to the high performance car they’ve gotten before it as a press car. It’s an economy car that is made for the masses. It’s slow and noisy but so is all cars in its segment. But it does it’s intended purpose very well. Buy it for the wrong reason and you’ll be disappointed
    7
  419. I wish they would consider adding the wiper to all trims as I think it’s needed on that body style
    7
  420. Hi! A harmonic balancer failure is possible on any car with age. This one seemed fine no cracks or separation. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. If it ever fails it’s a very simple job to swap one out.
    7
  421. They will produce counterfeits that are actually not even iridium but look like one. Iridium plugs are expensive because of how long they last
    7
  422. I would change the fluid every 6-9 years. You still have at least a year
    7
  423. I left the Prius out intentionally. I will make a similar video for hybrids in the near future
    7
  424. Hi! If you plan to keep the car long every 50k miles or 5 years
    7
  425. Thank you for watching! Working on cars is fun! Until things go south😞 but then when things get fixed after going south it’s a great feeling!
    7
  426. Hi! It’s recommended but not as much as before as these cars are well covered but if you’re keeping it long I would get it coated
    7
  427. 😂 the cake is gone!
    7
  428. Thank you Jonas and Spencer! It’s my pleasure to share everything that I have learned to help people.
    7
  429. You are absolutely right! Jumping a hybrid with a hybrid is ok. The electrical system on hybrids is not designed for the high strain load of a starter on a conventional gasoline engine. Having the engine running or not on hybrids doesn’t help anything as there’s no alternator.
    7
  430. Thank you Mathew! Honestly the power steering fluid is one that people debate. Typically most dealerships will recommend it at 5 years 50,000 miles however if you’ve had a leak before that was fixed likely the fluids been replaced. I would look at the fluid. If it looks dark replace it if not keep going. Replacement is simple. With the car off syphon the fluid out of the reservoir and fill it with new then start the engine and turn the wheel lock to lock multiple times and off and syphon again keep doing this until the fluid looks clear in the reservoir.
    7
  431. I don’t personally think you need an oil trap or also called oil separator in most Toyota models. Yes you will get some oil on the intake but usually the injectors do a pretty good job cleaning the back of the valves. And if the car is maintained properly there won’t be any issues. Save your money.
    7
  432. I think they are pretty solid. Very impressive car both the way it drives and the features it has. So far they have been pretty problem free. The 2019s has some factory paint issues and issues with sticking radiator shutters but nothing so far in 2020
    7
  433. Hi! The filter and dripping the pan isn’t really needed. If you’re doing the work yourself why not but don’t expect a large gain in terms of longevity.
    7
  434. The venza and Camry are the same. I would change the fluid around 60k or 6 years. You’re a bit over but not too much where I told you don’t change it. Go ahead and change it in the spring

  435. Thank you for watching! I wouldn’t do the cooler method as things can get out of the control and you risk running the transmission low on fluid.
    7
  436. Yes that is correct. Factory semi metallic and economy ceramic
    7
  437. Thank you John. I try my best to be as honest and as fair as possible. I rejected and sent back a few dash cams already because I didn’t like them. You matter to me 100 times more than any company trying to send me a product. If it’s a good product I will say so, if it’s not I send them back and don’t waste your time.
    7
  438. Hi! It does have it but know that you need to hard wire it so it has power when the car is off otherwise it won’t work with the supplied cigarette lighter adapter
    7
  439. Hi! Upgrading to the 5th gen or tundra calipers is pointless as those seize as well. The key here is to take the pins out of the caliper and clean them every year. What happens with these calipers is first the pin rusts then the pad gets stuck on the pin then the piston can no longer push it and it stops moving then it seizes. Keep things moving freely will prevent the caliper from freezing over and over and over. Also make sure the pads move freely as well.
    7
  440. Hi! Here’s a similar video for the 4Runner https://youtu.be/bi_AeB335Yo
    7
  441. Richard I know you have an 07 Avalon and this unfortunately doesn’t apply to it. That generation Avalon had wiper blades only that don’t have replaceable inserts. And the original ones from the dealership are very expensive and not really worth it. You did good with the Bosch ones.
    7
  442. Hi! Thank you for watching my video! I have not seen concerns from people in the real world with the steering wheel jerking. I honestly will say that all information on my channel comes from real world experience from working on these cars every single day not from a specific test that is not an everyday situation test.
    7
  443. Thank you! MDT is the highest nothing more!
    7
  444. I would do one thing. Clean up the leak to prevent the oily mess. Eventually gets to the belt and gets thrown into the alternator and ruins it. If you clean it regularly it wouldn’t get that bad.
    7
  445. Honestly if it’s not actively dripping on the ground I wouldn’t worry about it. However if you have any kind of warranty bring it up even if it’s small. If you are out of warranty and it’s covering the whole sub frame clean everything and drive it and see how long it takes to reappear.
    7
  446. I haven’t had a 2018+ In the shop yet but it does have similar setup but they’re too new to have issues
    7
  447. Good idea!
    7
  448. Hi! You can do either. As long as the oil used is good and the filter as well it won’t affect warranty
    7
  449. Thank you for watching my videos! So on the capacity always put the capacity from the manual and for accurate reading fully warm up the engine, shut it off wait for a minute or two then check it
    7
  450. Hi! They do well in long highway trips as long as you’re not going excessive speeds at which point they start loosing their efficiency
    7
  451. Hi William. So the sensors are mounted on the wheel. So when changing the tires you don’t need to do anything with the sensors they just stay on the wheel. Some mechanics take them off in fear of breaking them but most mechanics know the way around them so they won’t get broken.
    7
  452. Hi! That would really accomplish much. You want to replace the fluid in the lines
    7
  453. Hi! The 10k mile interval is the minimum required maintenance to maintain your warranty. They do that to lower the cost of ownership for the first 5 years. Toyota does not sell a crate engine. The short block is the most you can get
    7
  454. I’m glad it helped! Let me know how it goes and if you need any help!
    7
  455. You’re welcome
    7
  456. I would have your mechanic check other things like locking up brakes. Also try not to spend too much money chasing after this you might end up spending more than the gas savings. The tpms sensor doesn’t affect gas mileage unless your tire pressure is low
    7
  457. Awesome! I’m glad everything went smoothly.
    7
  458. That is coming very soon I hope
    7
  459. Hi! Window tinting does help a bit yes. Leaving a window slightly open to vent to the interior is not a bad idea not only for the battery for general health as well
    7
  460. Comparing the 2010 and 2020 corolla interiors is not fair but comparing the 2008 to 2010 interiors is fair. The 2008 had a more solid feeling interior than the next generation but it is purely looks and feel not function.
    7
  461. Hi! You could if the level was right to begin with. And I’d say if you did all the work why not finish the job and set the level correct
    7
  462. Thank you Ed!
    7
  463. Because the filter still needs changing and you’re not adding the full capacity of new oil. Some contaminated oil stays in the oil pan that needs to be drained out
    7
  464. Thank you very much sir! Means a lot coming from a veteran mechanic like yourself. Thank you for watching!
    7
  465. Hi! That’s actually incorrect. Drive the car and warm it up well or after your normal drive. Park it on a relatively flat surface wait one minute then check the oil level
    7
  466. Thank you for tuning in my brother! I hope you are enjoying your retirement!
    7
  467. That is the million dollar question. There was talk about Toyota putting the engine and various other bmw parts through their reliability test but nothing concrete or clear what those were and if they changed anything and what
    7
  468. Honestly brother all the fuzz about the Supra being a BMW once you drive one you’ll start to see Toyota’s point. It’s a very nice drivers car. Yes it might be not as reliable as the other models but it doesn’t make it a bad car. You buy a Supra for performance not for reliability even the old ones. Everyone swears by the reliability of the old Supra’s but they’re not as reliable as a Camry and never will be. Parts come through Toyota with Toyota boxes. They change over the bmw boxes to Toyota ones.
    7
  469. Hi! Avoid spraying the orange wires and avoid direct pressure on connectors
    7
  470. Hi! I personally would recommend you cycle the gas as much as possible. Perhaps up to 3-4 months. Using a fuel stabilizer is not a bad idea.
    7
  471. I’ve heard reports of this issue haven’t seen one personally. I’ll update if there’s anything new
    7
  472. Thank you for watching. Not really. It’s just a 12v battery and replacement is straight forward. Using a memory saver is a good idea with any modern car when replacing a 12v battery
    7
  473. That is an awesome idea! Let me try to source a hybrid car to take home and I’ll make something. God bless you as well!
    7
  474. Hey brother! This will be a 6 part series! Then we’ll take a break from 4runners and hopefully into the new sienna hybrid.
    7
  475. I’ve used it on hybrids and it does work
    6
  476. Thank you for watching! So the wind noise is not really the typical wind whistling noise that’s a problem. You just hear wind rushing over the car and loud road noise. When buying one I highly recommend you look for dealerships that has a Toyota rent a car program where you can rent the new car models drive it for a few days and see how you like it. I’d rather you spend a 150-200 dollars in rentals rather than buy a car that you end up not liking.
    6
  477. Working on a video for that topic.
    6
  478. Priscilla Then you’re welcome! Glad I could help.
    6
  479. If the manufacturer specifies that it can run on 87 it means regardless of the compression of the engine it can safely run on 87. If you feel a gas mileage difference between premium and regular that's good but remember you are also paying more for the gas. If the math adds up then you're all good! You can't harm any car designed for 87 by using 87.
    6
  480. It was an absolute pleasure to meet you! It was a great day and a definite highlight for me!
    6
  481. I’d go with either to be honest. The 8 speed transmissions are covered by an extended policy so you’re good there and they both have water pump issues which is not a major deal. Water pump goes out replace it and keep going.
    6
  482. Thank you for watching my videos! Sorry I don’t have experience with Kia. I work exclusively on Toyota’s.
    6
  483. Thank you for your service!
    6
  484. Hi! Honestly the premium fuel thing is something I wish Lexus would let go off. In order to make a few more hp just to distinguish it from Toyota they switch to premium fuel which I think doesn’t make sense but that’s the way they want to do it
    6
  485. Hi! I think wheel spacers if well made shouldn’t be an issue. They of course change the characteristic of the car as the wheel sticks out more and could put more load on the bearings
    6
  486. Hi Andy! I would stick with your old fashioned thoughts and change it earlier. You can’t cause harm changing it earlier but you could cause harm going long
    6
  487. Thank you for watching my video. For coolant the first replacement is 5 years or 100,000 miles then after that every 50,000 miles it 5 years.
    6
  488. There’s no electric oil pump. There’s an electric water pump. The mechanical oil pump is controlled electronically.
    6
  489. I agree. Some German cars are beautifully made and well engineered. But they are also the way they are with the compromise of reliability. Things will fail early and cost a fortune to fix but that’s the price of the way they drive. Toyota’s don’t and never will drive like Some Germans cars do and on the same token German cars will never be as reliable as Toyota is. Two different design philosophies I suppose.
    6
  490. Hi deacon. I fully understand your concerns of complications. I will however add one thing. The exact same valid concern was raised when Toyota went with fuel injection, then when they went with dual variable valve timing. Then again with all aluminum engines. Then when they took out timing belts for timing chains. And of course when they made the first hybrid car. But years later things are still going well. And this is another one of those situations. What makes Toyota an exceptional company is not only their good engineering and continuous improvement design attitude. But their ongoing commitment to their customers after the car is sold and more importantly out of warranty. It is common for Toyota to extend warranties on items that they feel didn’t have a life length that they like for their customers. So when something fails and is expensive and causes customer stress and unhappiness they take care of things within reason. At this moment the RAV4 prime is rapidly out pacing a lot of models and rapidly becoming the halo car. Even though it is different than a conventional hybrid but in a lot of ways it’s very similar. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy a RAV4 prime. However I totally understand your concerns. I wish you the best with your decision.
    6
  491. Highest mileage seen so far is 150k and no issues. waiting for the magic 200k
    6
  492. Thank you for your comment. My qualifications are listed on the channels pages. I am currently working with Toyota and you are welcome to stop by the dealership where I work and see for yourself. I make YouTube videos to help share my experience that I have accumulated over a long career with Toyota that is still going. I am sure that you have similar or different experience which I encourage you to start a channel and share your experience to help people. I will be the first to subscribe and look forward to learning. Regarding reliability. The same was said when the switch from carburetors to fuel injection and computer control. And the same was said when the variable valve timing came out. The Toyota is to lose the race to be the first to come out with new technology and win the race on who can make such technology reliable. I stand by the company that puts food in my children’s mouths and at the same time I don’t have a problem calling them out when they mess up both on YouTube and on the engineering teams face. Accountability and continuous improvement is what makes Toyota what it is, not high ego, distrust and intimidation. People often comment that a “stupid grease monkey mechanic” shouldn’t question engineers designs and should shut up and go wipe some grease. Anyone that says such statement doesn’t know the internal culture of Toyota. Toyota is a team. Technicians and engineers have a unique relationship of respect and mutual benefit. And either side of this team has no problem calling each other out in the spirit of continuous improvement of the product. Have a nice day.
    6
  493. Hi! Those axles can take a beating! Unless they’re rusty inside and/or hard to move they should be good with the boot kit which comes with everything even the grease.
    6
  494. The Prius prime transmission is a bit different. It uses the same 2 electric motors and one gasoline engine but adds more to it. A series is in the works for how plug in Toyota hybrids work which I’ll cover the differences.
    6
  495. Usually no. All the wires going inside are weather sealed and have pretty good seals but I would avoid direct high pressure water to any electrical connector not just the hybrid wires but all electrical wires as they are weather proof but not high pressure direct exposure proof.
    6
  496. Wish we can make time move x8 in real life like the video 😂 then it’d be .6 labor
    6
  497. Thank you for watching! The dual injection system Toyota used also called D4S will not carbon up the valves like direct injection only engines. An Italian tune up every once in a while isn’t a bad idea. The dealer service could work and is beneficial if you drive short trips very frequently.
    6
  498. Video coming up soon on that
    6
  499. Hi Mathew. The highlander hybrid has normal tires. Some of them will have low rolling resistance tires but not all trims. The Prius will almost always have low rolling resistance tires.
    6
  500. Hi! No it’s not needed. Just drain and fill until it overflows
    6
  501. Unfortunately no. Even with a battery disconnect the learned values are there. In the near future I will make a series on scan tools and show you how to reset it
    6
  502. I respect Scotty Kilmer's view and opinion. Scotty Kilmer can be seen as a YouTuber to some but originally ( And most importantly ) He's a Master Mechanic with decades of experience that is priceless. However me and him come from different generations of mechanics. I tend to think older cars are less reliable than newer ones. Computers are reliable and various sensors are reliable. Much more reliable than the days where everything was mechanical and vacuum controlled. The question is what kind of mechanic is going to work on the car and how caught up they are with the new technology. I have seen many "mechanics" who try to diagnose the newer cars with all the computers and they might as well throw darts at a darts board because they have no clue of how anything works anymore. New cars are complicated but they are actually simple in their essence. Once you have the correct education and continuous technical updates and you apply yourself to understanding how everything works, Fixing them is not difficult. Now I will not lie and tell you all is good with the world. I will honestly say that I see more mechanics leaving this industry and more new technology and high tech computers rolling in. This is a concern because there will be a time where there's not many people who will want to work on cars professionally and that's what's going to make these cars less reliable because finding someone who truly understand them is going to get tougher and tougher. "Computer cars" become expensive when the mechanic has no idea what they are doing and start throwing parts at it and hoping something will fix it. This happens daily in shops across the world and it's unfortunate.

  503. Hi! The JBL Amps has gotten better than before but they still can fail. Not something I expect to be a repeating offender
    6
  504. Hi! The 2007 model doesn’t have a timing belt. The 2005-2006 model does. In 2007 they started with the 3.5L 2GR engine so you’re all set.
    6
  505. Corolla hybrids are excellent! They’re essentially a 4th gen Prius without the body
    6
  506. I would actually have the AC turned on in winter time. When you set the air to hot the ac is used as a dehumidifier to help with window fogging.
    6
  507. Thank you for watching my video! That happens so much in the industry and control arms are not cheap on Toyota’s.
    6
  508. If it’s in great condition with low mileage it honestly could be worth it
    6
  509. Frank, I love Benz something I inherited from my Dad. On the tensioner you’ll want to lift the engine a little bit so you have enough clearance to pull the bolt out. Remove the dog bone mount at the top. Then 3 17 mm nuts at the bottom for the side mount one exposed and 2 under a small rubber plug on the sub frame. Then use a small jack and a block of wood to lift the oil pan closer to the drain plug which is the strongest in the pan. Lift it high enough that you can get the bolt out. It’s a very easy job and if you have a Toyota tensioner don’t forget to pull the pin off the new one if it’s a spring style if it’s a hydraulic one never mind won’t have a pin.
    6
  510. Thank you for watching my videos! So I would replace the transfer case fluid in your 4Runner around 30k. Also I would use any good quality 75w90 or equivalent GL5 gear oil. At the dealership we use 75w90 full synthetic from Mobil 1 and never had a single issue over the years.
    6
  511. Hi! If it doesn’t have it at this point likely it won’t develop it
    6
  512. I’m glad you like your highlander! They are really good and in my opinion possibly the best suv money can buy
    6
  513. Thank you for the suggestion! I will look in the future to potentially add walls for that purpose.
    6
  514. Hi! I usually keep my keys away from the car and most electronics. Switches the place a few times but still.
    6
  515. I think that’s a good price
    6
  516. Around 7 hours of labor and the dash itself is $964
    6
  517. Hi! I’m doing well thank you! Hope you’re doing well as well. On the dash install in the factory. They install everything at the same time. So dash bar wire harness hvac box and steering column which makes it extremely heavy and I wouldn’t be able to carry it alone.
    6
  518. Hi! I haven’t yet but in the next few weeks I am filming a video with a rav4 where I’ll address it
    6
  519. No need for apologies! Always got your back. So on Toyota the original hoses and clamps are really well made and easily last the life of the car. Thermostats are the same. If you are doing another job that requires you to remove the thermostat sure throw on in there but to replace it just “because” is not needed. Obd2 Toyota will throw a code when the thermostat is not working right.
    6
  520. Thank you for watching!
    6
  521. In the case of this minivan this is out of the picture because it’s only hybrid. However with other models that have hybrid and regular the cost difference is compensated not only by fuel economy but by maintenance costs as hybrids have less wear items. Example is brakes lasting much longer. No alternator or starter and most of them no drive belt. The hybrid battery can be expensive but if you take care of the cooling system it will last a very long time.
    6
  522. Hi! I am in the process of testing multiple OBD scanners to find the ultimate DIY one. Owners have reported scan gauge shows transmission temperature. Blue driver doesnt
    6
  523. Hi! That’s exactly what we’re looking for. A partial drain and fill. Very long explanation to why but it’s actually beneficial to the transmission to have a partial drain and fill but people just won’t listen.
    6
  524. You could. But from experience you’d be surprised at how many transmissions are under filled. Also less of them are overfilled. To be honest not checking the fluid level is, with all due respect, being lazy and wanting to cut corners. Similar to a dealership technician who does a lousy job by cutting corners then gets called a hack and his/her dealership called a stealership.
    6
  525. Hi! Thank you for watching my channel. 1- I personally don’t like additives to the fuel tank but they can’t cause harm and they might actually do good as ling as you’re not over spending on them. Better than that is to use good fuel from a top tier gas station. 2- injectors typically last about the same for turbo vs non turbo cars
    6
  526. We just did oil change No.3. 1st oil change at 1000 miles. 2nd at 6 month mark. And third a week ago or so short of the 6 month mark
    6
  527. Sorry my bad and apologies. I mixed two comments thinking of a highlander. The 4 cylinder leak on the Camry is covered by powertrain warranty. The v6 could have a similar leak but not as common on the v6 in the Camry.
    6
  528. Hi! Honestly they’re identical and equally good.
    6
  529. The 2015-2017 models are great. I wouldn’t prefer one over the other. As long as it’s in good shape with good maintenance history it’s a good car to buy.
    6
  530. Hi! No damage would be done if you switch into 4Hi and try to drive on a straight road. On 4Lo I would drive it a bit at very low speed maybe on a side street and definitely no turns but the 10 miles is more for 4Hi
    6
  531. Hi Gary. So you don’t want to interrupt the shift as it’s shifting and the light is flashing but once it completes the shift you can shut off the car. Also you can shift on the fly without issues at speeds lower than 60 mph. And I would shift into 4 hi and drive the 10 miles trying to avoid very sharp turns. Then put the truck in 4 lo then once it shifts into 4lo shift back into 4 hi. You need to be in neutral to shift into 4 lo and don’t drive it more than 10mph in 4lo
    6
  532. I haven’t really seen any in for issues other than tampering or accidents
    6
  533. Absolutely! That will come in the near future.
    6
  534. Thank you for your comment. Unfortunately I do not have the same experience with honda that I do with Toyota. In order to make a buying guide I’d need to be very familiar with the product.
    6
  535. I have yet to see a 2016 with the shudder we’ve seen 2015s but it’s questionable with contaminated fluid. The tailgate would be hard to open if the motors fail and you operate it manually. I would consider either a good extended warranty if you’re worried and for the lift gate the LE model doesn’t have the power lift gate. In the later models we don’t see lift gate issues it was limited to the early years
    6
  536. They are equally reliable for the same reason! They’re both old trabsmissions
    6
  537. Very well said and agreed on the live data! If they add this and a few other functions they could really rival others and even if they raise their price they could be a very comprehensive tool.
    6
  538. Hi Yousef, a phone conversation is difficult however you’re welcome to post your question here and I’ll do my best to help. And @gianfrancoa I am a mechanic before I am a YouTuber so I do help my viewers with anything that I can.
    6
  539. Honestly brother if you’re buying a Tacoma and not off roading with it I wouldn’t get crawl. But I’m off roading crawl is actually very very good.
    6
  540. All Toyota spark plugs are pre gapped and iridium plugs shouldn’t be gapped as they get damaged
    6
  541. Make sure it’s fixed right. Panel gaps look good, paint matches and there are no leaks in the trunk
    6
  542. I’d stay sticking with the 120k miles or 10 years whichever comes first
    6
  543. Hi! The factory doesn’t use anti seize and I am yet to find a factory installed spark plug that seizes. This is old school mentality. If you torque the spark plugs to specifications you won’t have issues.
    6
  544. Hi! That is just a maintenance reminder light. You can reset it by leaving the odometer on total mileage on the car turn the key off. Then press and hold the odometer reset button then turn the key on without starting it, it will start a count down on the screen wait for it to finish then you’re set. It comes on every 5000 miles to remind you to replace the engine oil and filter.
    6
  545. Hi Stephane! Long time no hear! Hope you’re doing well my brother. Thank you for watching my video! I know this one applies 100% to your car
    6
  546. Hi! Camry is bigger size but also more expensive. Depends on your budget
    6
  547. Nothing is lifetime 😉
    6
  548. Hi! I don’t own a Tesla! It’s an S class.
    6
  549. Hi Ahmad! Bleeding the brake system on hybrids requires a scan tool because it will activate the pump to push the fluid essentially the computer is going to “pump” the pedal by running the motor. It’s actually not hard with techstream to do. It’s just a 2 person job. One mans the scan tool and another opens bleeders as the scan tool asks for them.
    6
  550. That is a good question. I don’t know if the system is capable on the Camry of LTA. I’ll ask around and see if there’s such posibility
    6
  551. Personally I’m not big on fuel additives. Instead I’d rather use top tier gasoline!
    6
  552. Hi! Fluid film
    6
  553. Hi! Honestly I didn’t include them because they’re simply too old. Most car buyers are not buying them at the moment. And buying an old one and driving it for another 100k miles reliably is not realistic at this point
    6
  554. I actually mentioned all Avalon’s are good but the highlight is the 2013-2018
    6
  555. Yes! The Lexus ES in general is very good
    6
  556. Hi! Fill the coolant with a spill free funnel and with the car off squeeze both hoses back and forth. Start the engine and make sure your funnel is 1/4 was filled. Rev the engine and hold it just above 2000 rpm and continue to sequence the hoses back and forth for 30 seconds each time and stop for 2 minutes until both hoses get the same temp and the fan cycles on and off twice. Then let the engine idle until air bubbles stop. Shut it off and let it cool down for 15-20 min and you’re done. Do all this with the heater off
    6
  557. Similar. I’m hoping in the next couple of weeks I’ll get one for a 19 rav4
    6
  558. That is one of the things that are debated. I check it because it’s simple and almost all of them are spot on
    6
  559. Hi! In some cases a flush can be not good if it’s overdone where you’re flushing over the capacity of the transmission then it’s not good.
    6
  560. Very well said. Many factors go into these issues happening or not. The idea of these videos is to share the worst case scenario so when you go buy one, you know exactly what to look for and avoid buying the bad examples. And honestly I will say this, when you look at this video you’d think the corolla is a pile of junk. But if there was an exact same video for every make and model you’ll see that most will be hour+ long to barely cover it.
    6
  561. Thank you! It will consecutive so you’ll get an episode every few days!
    6
  562. Thank you for watching my video and congratulations on your Rav4! You’re gonna love it! Regarding tires I would agree with the dealership on the price 17” wheels you’ll get more tire height and tires will be cheaper for winter tires.
    6
  563. Hi! That’s an upcoming video very soon.
    6
  564. Thank for you for watching my video! Looks like you’re on track to have your car for a very long time without any issues! Best wishes!
    6
  565. I wasn’t aware of the Chevy volt fuel maintenance mode. Thank you for bringing that up. I have faith that Toyota will eventually fix this small issue.
    6
  566. The reference to the truck motor meant a variant of this engine can be found in trucks like the Tundra, GX460, Land Cruiser and LX570. Once the covers are off and the engine is sitting on an engine stand they’re almost identical internally as they are derived from the same design mechanically.
    6
  567. I wish sunroofs were an option you can choose to remove with any trim. I am not a big fan of them either.
    6
  568. Hi! Depends on the engine. On a 2gr it’s easily 4000-5000. 4 cylinders are a lot leas
    6
  569. Thanks for the video suggestion. I don’t see the issue with sitting in the car while on jack stands as long as they can easily support your cars weight and you in it.
    6
  570. If the price difference is large for a quality aftermarket part then it’s worth it. But the takeaway point is comparing first. The last thing you want is to pay the same for an original part for an aftermarket
    6
  571. The 4Runner will be more reliable in the long run. The gx460 is very reliable as well but tend to have a few things that could get expensive
    6
  572. That’s common for people to overpay for used ones! They’re hard to find because most people hold on to them.
    6
  573. That’s another one that doesn’t make sense. If you look at 4Runner prices at 3 and 5 years old and compare it to wranglers is a real world example. Tacoma’s and tundras hold their value but not like 4runners and even FJ cruisers.
    6
  574. Cement is ok just don’t make sharp turns with it. Engage it a couple of times back and forth at normal driving speeds and you should be good.
    6
  575. I would give this feedback to Toyota directly because you’re right. They should do away with entune and just have apply CarPlay and Android auto
    6
  576. Good job! Even with difficulties, at the end of a job like this it’s a very good feeling! Keep up the good work!
    6
  577. You are the best man! Thank you for doing that!
    6
  578. Hi! People like to pre fill the filters with oil and if you can it won’t do any harm but in a lot of cases you can’t and I’m not too worried about it honestly. If you truly want to prime the engine oil until the oil light goes off you need to disable ignition and the injectors then crank the engine. I would never use the quick drain valves and cringe every time I see on installed. Taking a drain plug is really not hard at all.
    6
  579. Hi! You could pre fill the filter but that slight clatter is not an issue as it’s been done without filling the filter and the engines last for many years and many miles.
    6
  580. Hi! If you have full techstream with the update capability then head over to techinfo.Toyota.com and get a couple day subscription and download the update file. There’s a TSB that will show you the process on how to do a download. You’ll need the higher grade subscription to be able to download software updates.
    6
  581. Hi! It can but this engine already has an oil separator built in behind the manifold which is where the pcv valve connects to which does the same thing
    6
  582. Thank you! We’re having camera issues and trying to improve things.
    6
  583. Thank you for watching! Tacoma video is coming this Saturday!
    6
  584. I’d like to give you a different perspective if you don’t mind. Now that you know of the leak perhaps look for it on the ones you’re buying and if you’re worried about it consider an extended warranty and keep an eye on it every year.
    6
  585. I haven’t seen a million mile one in person yet
    6
  586. Hi VonEZ. Thank you! I’d say 12+ Camry had the best engines. The V6 is good in all years but on the older ones tends to leak oil and can get expensive to fix. With all 4 cylinders if the maintenance is not followed you’ll have oil burning except 07-09 where they had a manufacturing problem which was fixed. 10-11 were the worse for 4 cylinder. 15-17 likely the best for both engines as all the smaller issues have been taken care of as well. 18+ is too new to know their long term reliability which I suspect will be ok if maintenance is good.
    6
  587. Hey brother! The oil burning situation is developing for this model. Usually with bad maintenance. Let me ask you a few questions. Did you own this car since new? Also how much is it burning? An earlier oil change is always good if it’s within the budget.
    6
  588. Hi! Your sienna has the indirect system. I would check the pressures and reset it
    6
  589. It’s not required at all. But it’s good practice to work around the car to prevent skipping wheels
    6
  590. It doesn’t introduce air as gravity is pushing the fluid out. And you can disconnect the hose from the tool to let it drip into the hose
    6
  591. Thanks. Interesting theory I’m gonna look into it, new one to me thank you for bringing it up! To most people it probably doesn’t matter but to car care nuts like ourselves everything matters 😃
    6
  592. The replacement on the electronic cars is exactly the same as this one just you won’t have fluid lines going to it. Some of the other models with the external motor will be tougher as the rack is bigger but 2011-2020 sienna has the motor on the steering column so replacement is very simple actually
    6
  593. I would just change the fluid and you should have no issues.
    6
  594. The filters were checked. They’re clear. That’s why the covers were off. If you notice in the video showing the ticking sound there was oil dripping, that was with the tensioner cover off, sound is coming from bank 1 intake VVTI gear. The oil cooler line was replaced already and the common exhaust gear center coming off and hitting the front timing cover was not the case verified visually.
    6
  595. All Toyota filters MSRP is $5.69 as of today except the FRS, New Supra and Yaris IA. You can easily find them cheaper by going to parts.Toyota.com and shopping through your local area dealerships. I see aftermarket filters costing double that. Basically don’t pay over $5.69 for a Toyota oil filter.
    6
  596. Hi! I would ask her for receipts showing that the engine oil burning issue was fixed by the dealership. If she can’t present that I would call the dealership with the VIN no and ask if it’s been fixed. If not I would be careful buying this car as it could burn oil it not fixed and be an issue car. If this is been taken care of and the car is in good shape it’s actually a good car to own
    6
  597. Glad I could help!
    6
  598. The factory plugs are the same as the ones you buy from the dealership. However the factory ones will have markings on them that the replacements won’t
    6
  599. Hi! The corolla hatchback in all of its trims is good honestly. Go with the price range and/or options you’re comfortable with
    6
  600. Hi! Yes that is advisable. Most tints will protect the interior from heat to a degree but something is better than nothing
    6
  601. Hi! the 2012 cannot be programmed manually like the older models. Some aftermarket scan tools can pull it off.
    6
  602. Hi! Toyota doesn’t offer a long block. Doesn’t make sense but that’s how they structure their parts
    6
  603. Hi! So a natural process in every gasoline engine is that fuel gets last the piston rings and ends up mixing with the oil. This process happens every time you start the engine cold. Gasoline mixing with oil breaks it down overtime. So that’s why you need to replace it even if it’s not there by miles.
    6
  604. They’ll be the fools when you have 300k on your car and not a single problem with the engine whatsoever.
    6
  605. I think changing the oil and filter every 5k and 6 months is more that sufficient to keep things clean and protected
    6
  606. Hi! I don’t know if it’s included in the service plans. Most of them go at a normal schedule. Honestly for the low cost of oil changes and if you’re keeping this car long I would do the oil changes every 5k even if you’re paying for them
    6
  607. Hi! Not really. The RX insulation and interior quality is much higher in my opinion. The highlander is a nice suv but the RX truly takes it to the next level
    6
  608. Power generation in neutral is not possible due to motive force of generating. Motive force would cause the car to possibly move because it’s not locked by the parking pawl so charging is disabled when in neutral.
    6
  609. That is something I missed and will add in the last video that covers the odds and ends.
    6
  610. Yes sir! The motor in the back is called MGR
    6
  611. Thank you Ahmed!
    6
  612. That’s how I feel about it as well.
    6
  613. Hi! Of course! I plan to slowly start introducing Lexus content
    6
  614. I'm sorry about your experience with the dealership. I think they messed up and should cover it. The only point of going to the dealership and paying a high labor rate is to get top notch quality work. This dealership failed to deliver. You always want to put original shims when using original brakes for best results. If using aftermarket pads either use the shims that comes with or switch to original.
    6
  615. Thank you Stephane! Hope you’re doing well! I remember helping a neighbor with a sonata. I have a very strong opinion on Kia/Hyundai! Let’s just say the best thing about them is their 10 year warranty lol
    6
  616. Not as much in the dealership days. But now with the shop yes!
    6
  617. Hi! Yes I am still at the dealership until the shop opens
    6
  618. They are originally used to strap the truck down on transport but they can also be use to pull the truck as they are part of the frame.
    6
  619. Just take it easy on your drive to work and try to vary your speed and you’re good to go.
    6
  620. Thank you! I take every opportunity to film a repair video that I can. Been a bit busy lately with everything but soon will start filming again.
    6
  621. Hi! Is it a V8? These were common for exhaust manifold leaks when cold
    6
  622. Hi! I wouldn’t use water. Just vacuum or gently used compressed air
    6
  623. Hi! Ideally you’d want no water to get in at all. Also clean the filter with vacuum or gently with compressed air
    6
  624. I actually wouldn’t do that as the dead battery is likely bigger than the hybrid cars 12v battery. I would invest in a small jumper pack and have it available for situations when you have to jump start your car or others.
    6
  625. Hi Randy! Between you and me what you did is a severe violation of the emission standards and if the EPA gets wind of it you’d be fined! Much harder for them to catch you but very easy to catch a shop doing this. If I’m not mistaken some of these corollas had a software update to resolve the issue you’re referring to
    6
  626. Hi! Use a few shop towels and put them over the exhaust tip abs push them with your hand
    6
  627. We don’t want to give them ideas now 😀 I vote for them to get a real job and earn money like the rest of us
    6
  628. Contact me via Instagram or facebook
    6
  629. Thank you for watching my brother!
    6
  630. Hi! An air hammer works better but here’s what you can do if you don’t have one. Take a good chisel make a mark on the one side like a cut in the bolt then turn your chisel and hammer it to loosen it. Takes a bit of practice and you’ll want to be careful with the housing of the differential
    5
  631. 😂 basically...
    5
  632. Hi! The same for both and those are some of the easiest ones to do. And anywhere between 25k-50k miles for the first cleaning
    5
  633. Hi! It really doesn’t require any lubrication as the range of motion is small.
    5
  634. Hi Ahmad. Very true. Lowered cars or lifted cars could have issues with this system as it kinda throws everything off
    5
  635. So this is a very good point on connecting it backwards that I didn’t add in the video! I tested this and it immediately gives you a warning and won’t do anything so it’s safe for that as well!
    5
  636. They list it as capable of jumping 7L engine gasoline and 4L diesel. So I think it would be able to jump start a V8 comfortably.
    5
  637. I told him to man the camera but he couldn’t hold it 😂
    5
  638. Hi! I am waiting for my D8 to arrive then I’ll begin testing and let you know in a review.
    5
  639. Hi! So they have a higher model that can do the customizations I told them they should add this feature to this one. The other model is the D8
    5
  640. Hi Glenn! So this company has a tool dedicated to programming keys which can be more capable than the D7 I would contact the company and ask them for their compatibility list to be sure
    5
  641. Honestly I am not familiar with good basic car repair books. Something I should know I’ll look into it
    5
  642. Hi! Thank you for watching my channel! It’s possible that the rear main seal is leaking, not common but with higher mileage it is possible. If the leak is directly between the engine and transmission and it’s engine oil then it’s likely the rear main seal. And the dealership is wrong and you’re right. The 2009 hybrid highlander does have a timing belt. They stopped with the timing belt and went with the chain engine in 2011 hybrid highlander
    5
  643. And you made a very good choice! Best of luck on your highlander hunt.
    5
  644. Switch gas brands.
    5
  645. Avtar Nanrey Hi Avtar! So you always want to follow what the manufacturer specifies for that specific car even though other cars might have the same engine. The tuning of the engine computer is different for different models regardless of it being the same engine. Take Lexus for example they also have the same engines as many Toyota models but some of them call for premium fuel.
    5
  646. Hi! You can but the measurement method is likely different so your 95 is equivalent to 87 in other areas
    5
  647. At high elevation 85 is equivalent to 87
    5
  648. Thank you for watching my videos. You can switch from and to B at any time that’s needed. You don’t need to be stopped.
    5
  649. Hi! I wouldn’t use B mode unless you’re going down hill. Braking in hybrids is a good thing. It recharges the battery
    5
  650. Hi! If you need it there’s no damage done because it’s computer activated not a manual mechanical change
    5
  651. Thank you for watching my video! So on your Lexus the paddle shifter is basically going to artificially vary the level of b mode to give the feel of manually shifting a transmission but it’s actually also b mode just the intensity is changed with the paddle shifters.
    5
  652. Thank you for watching my videos! The Sport + - is basically the same as B mode just in levels or more similar to a conventional automatic transmission. So when you downshift using the S - the computer will set a level of B mode if you would and as you downshift more it will level it up more. Regarding MGR the computer determines driving conditions based on wheel slippage and demand to use MGR. It doesn't use it all the time for example if you're cruising at a steady speed on the highway it will likely not use it as it's not needed and it will be more efficient if it doesn't apply power to it.
    5
  653. I think you’ll get bored waiting if the previous owner and yourself kept the 5k oil changes! Thank you for sharing your experience! I keep saying to folks buy the cheap insurance by doing oil changes every 5k and your car is proof of that! I hope it never burns oil.
    5
  654. I would replace 9 year old tires for sure.
    5
  655. Hi! That’s a lot of wear in a short time! Which tire brand do you have?
    5
  656. Hi! The new tundra is not out yet and there’s no real information on it other than speculations and guesses. When it’s out and I can have one in front of me you’ll see content on it.
    5
  657. I second that!
    5
  658. I wouldn’t be. If you’re shopping for a mini van this is one of the best vans out there. Just when you go buy one make sure you take the time to inspect it for the issues in this video to make sure you’re not buying that neglected one.
    5
  659. Thank you for your comment! I’m glad I could help! A good extended warranty can easily pay for itself. If not in actual repairs just the piece of mind makes it worth every penny
    5
  660. Hi! I think those 2 years are great. You get the updated interior and the best engine transmission combination.
    5
  661. Hi! Honestly if your van has been good with no issues and leaks at this point you’re doing very good. I think extending the warranty if not expensive is not a bad idea. Things you can expect past 100k maybe struts and mounts perhaps a water pump if it was not done already
    5
  662. Thank you!
    5
  663. That’s a first 😀
    5
  664. With good maintenance the issues should be minimal. Have a customer with a 2016 with over 700k miles on original engine and transmission
    5
  665. leo76dragon22 the warranty extensions from Toyota isn’t limited to the number of owners. So even if you bought it used it will apply if there’s a warranty on a component
    5
  666. Hi! These engines on both the highlander and sienna models are the same and have the same issues however if you inspect the car well abs make sure it doesn’t have the issues then you take care of the car you won’t have issues.
    5
  667. That would be counter productive to ask them because they’ve already done that. But perhaps I would ask them to show you the results of the pre purchase inspection. Honest dealerships will show you what they found with the car and how they fixed it to make everything good
    5
  668. That is a very good question. Still puzzles me
    5
  669. Hi! First 1000 miles then again at 5k then every 5k or 6 months afterwards
    5
  670. The grille is a love it or really dislike it. I hear you.
    5
  671. Hi! It will likely run on regular but would have lower power and not something I would advice you do often
    5
  672. Hi! You’d have to stay with your originally equipped battery. Switching them is not possible as a plug and play
    5
  673. Hi! That information is not published by Toyota. Typically if you take care of the cooling system and don’t let the battery overheat you can realistically expect 10-15 years and north of 200k out of the battery especially with the newer models
    5
  674. Hi! That’s normal. You’d really have to be deliberate in your braking to see full bars then as soon as you touch the throttle it’ll drop one.
    5
  675. Hi! They are tuned differently that’s why some of them require premium. Similar case on the Toyota side the 2007-2009 FJ cruiser required premium and a similar engine in the Tacoma didn’t
    5
  676. Hi! It is based off of the Prado as well which actually is shared with the 4runner platform as well. Think of it this way. Go drive a 4runner. If you felt it too basic and lacking power then you will like the GX460 more. On the V8 the 4.7 and the 4.6 are completely different engines. The 4.6 is also a very reliable engine but does have a few oil leaks that bring it just a notch below the 4.7
    5
  677. The engine is protected to a point but the rest is not and thats something of a concern in deep water levels unless you relocate the vents on them higher.
    5
  678. It is in its stock form! Don’t spend a fortune modifying it and never off road with it as it becomes counter productive
    5
  679. Exactly the point Michael! The idea is not to let the oil get ditch dark before replacing it. Doing that over time is where the issues start. I always like to see darkened oil but still has some color to it when draining
    5
  680. I agree with John. Keep it up to 5k miles or 6 months and use an original filter with decent quality oil. Like John mentioned oil is cheap and so does the insurance it gives ya!
    5
  681. Glad I could help paul! Congratulations on your rav4 purchase!
    5
  682. 😂 they loose me when they even mention horsepower and 0-60 on any sensible daily driver car
    5
  683. Hi! The 2AZ had an issue from the factory. Other engines didn’t. Following a good oil change interval like 5k miles or 6 months and using the correct oil is good way of preventing any issues
    5
  684. I wish they would drop the old cvt and the old 1.8 and make the whole line up with the new engine and new cvt
    5
  685. Coming up in the next couple of weeks
    5
  686. The charging system is similar to the previous models which use very low amperage at idle so it won't create a drag and increase emissions. Basically it can maintain a healthy battery and maybe recharge a discharged battery over a long time but it won't be able to support a dead battery for long. The engine is complicated but it is also well made. The scan tool is similar for all Toyota models called Techstream and is available at all Toyota dealerships. Not much have changed from the scan tool end of things for this engine just added more functions to cope with the added functionality of the new systems.
    5
  687. Thank you for your comment. Very early on in the life of this engine I’ve personally seen a few of these motors fail. Although that was potentially an early production issue it’s still possible. Also when it comes to cars many things could disable that motor outside of its design. Things like rodent damage, other control components having issues and even incompetent mechanics and Toyota has been pretty good about anticipating these issues from past records and integrating safety nets in case.
    5
  688. Thank you sir! I have a few diy videos on the channel planning to add more as it’s possible for me.
    5
  689. I would change it every 3-5k or 6 months
    5
  690. And on the 8 speed transmission. Things have calmed down and now there’s hardly any issues with the newer ones. We still see a few stragglers from the 2017 and early 2018 cars but even that most of the ones affected has been fixed and no new issues to report. Occasional complaint of how it shifts but that’s more a feel concern than an actual problem.
    5
  691. The oil filter is very easily accessible. It usually has a cover that needs removing held in with a few 10mm screws. The filter is right there very close to the drain plug. It’s a spin on filter so no more canister. If buying an original oil filter it’s the F2 filter.
    5
  692. I think it’s easier to find a $628,000 RR than a 628,000 mile one 😜
    5
  693. Hi! You could reinforce it if that’s the only spot
    5
  694. Must be fun for you guys to deal with the Midwest rust buckets. It’s like a time capsule feel when I get a west coast car in the shop and it’s a 10 year old car. Looks cleaner underneath than the new car next it with 5k
    5
  695. Thank you my brother. Probably common because of heat? I think I’ve done a total of 1 or 2 cam seals on the v8. They are not a walk in the park like the v6 cam seals
    5
  696. Hi! Shocks that fit the same 4runner year and engine option but without the xreas
    5
  697. Hi! The V8 is full time 4WD so you don’t have to as much perhaps only the 4LO if you know you’ll ever need
    5
  698. The p0420 and catalytic converter diagnosis will be a standalone video with detailed explanation and diagnosis. That will follow when we start looking at live data from a car to get a better understanding how everything I’ve talked about actually looks like. And it will definitely follow the air fuel ratio sensors and o2 sensors video which is a few videos out.
    5
  699. Thank you for watching my videos! Awesome suggestion I’ll add it to the list and work on it! Thank you!
    5
  700. Hi! KDSS is not pure mechanical it does have the pump and solenoids on the side of the frame which if there’s an issue it would turn on. The XREAS is pure mechanical and has no electronics at all.
    5
  701. Hi! Honestly it’s hit and miss with xreas. I’ve seen them leak as low as 40k miles and some with over 200k and still original
    5
  702. Happy thanksgiving! And a condolence letter to Ford for the end of the F150 production weeks after the work truck version of the land cruiser? 😂 😉
    5
  703. Hi! Toyota hoses last usually the life of the car if they don’t have a plastic piece imbedded in them.
    5
  704. Hi Vince! Thank you for watching my videos. I personally don’t like stabilizer for automotive applications. If measured right it would work but I would instead try to run the gas lower and only fill it up a quarter tank and drive the car every week to cycle the gas. That not only benefits the gasoline situation but also benefits all other components of the car.
    5
  705. TheTalibandrew it’s not too late. I would get them both done and you shouldn’t have any issues.
    5
  706. Thank you for watching my videos! That depends. You mentioned 5-6k a year that’s ok for mileage but how often does the car sit? If you’re driving it weekly then you’re good. If the car is continuously and regularly going to sit for 2-3+ weeks then I’d consider a gasoline model for longevity. If you’re only going to keep the car up to 5 years then go for it. Really the negative effects will show as the car gets older.
    5
  707. I would go with normal higher mileage and good maintenance records
    5
  708. Hi Bruce. If you’re consistently going to leave it for 3 months an otherwise you’re driving it a lot it might be ok otherwise I would consider a gasoline model.
    5
  709. Interesting. That’s daily driving and shouldn’t deplete the battery enough to need a trickle charger. If you have issues this winter I’d involve Lexus directly so they can resolve the issue for you. They should take care of it as this is why you bought a Lexus for their dependability.
    5
  710. If you drive it daily you’re good!
    5
  711. Thank you for your comment. Many hybrid maintenance videos planned and will come in the future. Email for information.
    5
  712. Hi! On hybrid transmissions you don’t. On conventional automatic transmissions you do.
    5
  713. Thank you for the suggestion! I’ll add it to the list
    5
  714. I would. Rental cars are usually neglected and misused. I always see the strangest problems with ex rental cars. They’re cheap for a reason. You could end up with a good one but 15k is a lot of money to take a chance of buying one that’s not good.
    5
  715. Thank you for watching my videos. I’m sorry that this video and the comments made you feel this way. Just as I said at the beginning of the video. This is a great car. If people say the Camry is not a good buy when it’s newer then I don’t know what other car is. Every car has issues even the best one. Enjoy your car and know that you bought a good car.
    5
  716. Typically it costs no more than an hour of labor. Labor rate will vary by location.
    5
  717. Thank you for watching my video. If you don’t mind I’ll give you a different prospective to know the reason behind this change. So the wiper motors before this model were essentially the same from 1985. With this design the motor is able to pick up when there’s ice or an object blocking it from moving and it will actually stop while the old ones usually either open the fusible link or bend the arms. And the reason they are tucked in behind the hood is for aerodynamics. This way they don’t stick out and create drag.
    5
  718. Hi sandy! I think you did good. That’s a good year and a good trim to buy. Keep up the maintenance, take care of the car and it will take care of you.

  720. Age seems to do more then lack of use ( repeated month+ storage ) and then mileage
    5
  721. It was my intent here. This is not exactly a DIY job as the timing of this engine is tricky and if you’re not experienced it could go south. I wanted to share the overall process
    5
  722. Hi! It gets to a point where they rattle at every single start then rattle continuously when running. If you get to a that point you need to replace them as they could come apart and break the chain and wipe out the valves
    5
  723. Hi Kevin, Thank you for watching my videos! And from my part thank you for what you do. Without truck drivers the country simply wouldn’t move and nothing happen. Thank you for your hard work and sacrifice. May the lord bless you and keep you safe and healthy. Regarding the non plug in hybrids. The problem is the hybrid battery capacity is much smaller than a plug in hybrid. So having a charger on the 12v won’t run the ac and heater it would have to be a charger to the high voltage battery which is not something I know of at the moment for recreational use.
    5
  724. Yes that is true. It helps keep the oil distributed in the system.
    5
  725. Thank you for watching my videos and for your valuable suggestion! I’ll try my best to add more pictures.
    5
  726. Flagmichael answer your question. Thank you! One thing I will add. Oil mixes with the refrigerant. So when you evacuate the charge or it leaks out some of the oil comes out and you have to add it back to the system. Also oil mixes within the hoses and components of the ac charging machine that’s why using a dedicated machine for hybrids is important to prevent incorrect oil contamination
    5
  727. I hear ya. This is not ideal but you could use toyodiy.com and if you have a free account there you can use their parts reference which is a direct replica of the Toyota parts catalog
    5
  728. Emissions are the only reason
    5
  729. Hi! It’s an urban myth
    5
  730. Kyb are good but not as good as bilstein
    5
  731. Hi! It’s possible to be worn without leaks. A bounce test would verify that and that would be a concern driving. Thank you for watching my video!
    5
  732. Hi Dan! Thank you for watching my videos. One thing that is alarming to me. If your car is not all wheel drive it wouldn’t have a transfer case or rear differential to worry about. If this is a mistake in writing and it is AWD then I would replace the fluid soon and get it done with. Fluids typically start getting darker and with shavings between 30-60k and you are in that window. There’s no harm to replacing it even late so don’t worry. However if your car is not AWD and this conversation happened with your mechanic, I am a bit worried about his knowledge of your car as it doesn’t take a product specialist to know if a car is AWD or not.
    5
  733. The sequoia is on the list but there’s quite a few videos before it so it will come in the future. I would still do the 5k oil changes.
    5
  734. Thanks! That’s coming up in the near future! 07-20 tundra buying guide and common problems!
    5
  735. You’re very welcome! I’m glad I could help. I always say if you’re not sure go with original you can’t go wrong with original parts. Some people will say there’s better aftermarket and in certain cases they are right but for most cars and daily driven cars oem is the benchmark.
    5
  736. Hi! No concern for parts at all. Toyota is very good about their discontinued models support for a long period of time.
    5
  737. Honestly I would advice against it. This job really can take a toll on you
    5
  738. Thank you! It’s a bitter sweet moment. Bitter because I miss the people I’ve worked with for years. Sweet because I don’t have to deal with the typical dealership politics and just do and say what’s on my mind
    5
  739. Thank you for your comment. Toyota uses semi metallic pads from the factory. Rotors can warp from many more reasons not related to overnighting the wheels or pad build up. Reasons like over working the brakes in the case of going down hill and not downshifting to help the brakes or just driving too fast and slamming on the brakes all the time. Other very common one is heavy brake use and driving through puddles of water for example. And on this tundra it is not hard to overheat the brakes at all.
    5
  740. Thank you! You and the HVAC contractor would get along well! He literally had the exact same conversation with me! Clean outs are installed. The outside line is coated and he told me not to put electronics directly underneath the ac unit in case of a water backup.
    5
  741. Hi! It wouldn’t do harm but proper maintenance alone would cover you for the life of the engine. I don’t like additives especially with vvti engines
    5
  742. Very true! And it was not as simple as just plugs. Wires cap distributor rotor and at some point points
    5
  743. I’ll pass! I enjoy driving them and pretty sure if I worked on them daily that love would die quickly!
    5
  744. Hi! I wouldn’t mix fluids. Type IV is widely available and is not expensive at all.
    5
  745. 2018-2021 is better here’s a video with more Tacoma information https://youtu.be/b6tRAQ_r0Ms
    5
  746. Hi! Hybrids don’t really have any special or different coverage for rust. The high voltage cables that run underneath the car are weather proof and won’t be affected by a rust coating on top of them
    5
  747. Hi! Honestly Andrew I think you’re not comparing apples to apples. The benzes you listed are nice cars but are not on the same planet of reliability or cost of ownership as the corolla. As long as you know what you are buying with them you’re good. The corolla is a very reliable car, perhaps not as nice as the benzes but definitely a lot more reliable.
    5
  748. Hi! Honestly it’s both. I’ve seen mechanics either do bad work or give their customer bad advice. But I’ve also seen owners really neglect their car to a point it feels like they stole it
    5
  749. Hi! Honestly all products that promise to freshen the bushings only do so on the outside. Eventually control arm bushings will go but they usually last a long time
    5
  750. Thanks for watching! You’ll see what’s in the black box behind the mirror in Friday’s video which is part 2 of this video!
    5
  751. Hi! I haven’t seen issues with the ones that don’t have an external cooler. Just to clarify, the ones that “don’t have a cooler” try actually do have a heat exchanger with coolant running to it. They just don’t have another external air transmission cooler.
    5
  752. That would resolve the issue but the owner perhaps didn’t like the appearance of the dash cover and wanted it done right. The car is actually in excellent condition and worth this repair
    5
  753. Hi! Working on that setup. Ordering new cameras soon. This job pays around 6-7 hours and at a dealership environment you’d be lucky to get allotted half that time and the interruptions are endless at a dealership environment
    5
  754. Hi! You want to check the transmission fluid with the engine running. Drive the car for 15-20 min then check it. It should be not higher than the max hot. And not into the cold zone.
    5
  755. 😂
    5
  756. Hi! Honestly I wouldn’t use open containers after max of 6 months
    5
  757. If you attempt to fill up after 30 minutes have passed gas will spill out of the nozzle or it will just keep clicking. This is something to do with the evaporative emissions isolating the tank from the rest because it’s a hybrid and the engine doesn’t run all the time.
    5
  758. The Awd drive works well just like other hybrid models and it reliable
    5
  759. Hi! It will have a small impact but I would first get the van and see how it is height wise for your driving conditions and go from there
    5
  760. Hi! A lift shouldn’t be an issue however I agree with 3 inches being the max I would ago before it starts affecting things. Gas mileage could be affected but not significantly.
    5
  761. Keep maintenance records showing dates VIN number and mileage and a detailed record of what was done if and when possible. For DIY try to document your receipt along with picture document of mileage and vin with the receipt.
    5
  762. Hi! Link is in the description for the older video on the front wheel drive transmissions. Although it’s exactly the same procedure just different locations
    5
  763. When the light is on solid you’ll take the overflow plug out. If fluid comes out you’ll wait for it to trickle. If no fluid comes out you need to add fluid until it trickles. If the light starts flashing you need to stop. Wait for the transmission to cool down then start again when it’s on solid
    5
  764. Hi! Typically a dealership would do a flush. $250 sounds about right
    5
  765. There many theories. One of them is to prevent owners from incorrectly checking the fluid level and adjusting it with the dipstick.
    5
  766. I am working on recording videos to show you how to clean them. Some back seat disassembly is needed to access the filter, I would use a strong vacuum in the meantime.
    5
  767. Very easy. Remove the engine plastic cover, Disconnect 4 ignition coil connectors, Then remove 4 10mm bolts and pull the coils out then use a spark plug socket to remove the plugs and reverse everything to reinstall. I think the 4 cylinder spark plugs are the perfect new DIY project to tackle.
    5
  768. Hi! The low profile tires are fine. I wouldn’t replace them just because of that. Watch out for pot holes as they tend to get damaged easier than a larger profile tire
    5
  769. In all honesty I don’t think it will be much valuable as it’s still a 22 year old car with high mileage. That’s why I think this one is here to stay for a while with me
    5
  770. Thank you my brother!
    5
  771. I understand your experiences with your local dealership and believe me I work at a dealership and I will tell you not all dealerships are good and not all employers within a good dealership are good. It takes a significant amount of work to learn about the product inside and out and stay updated. This is something that not all techs or advisors do. On your 19 RAV4 I highly advise you to check the filter yourself and clean as needed. You already have the skills to work on the car, no one will take care of your car as you do. On your 4Runner even at 80k you are still in the safe window where I would replace the fluid on the transmission. 4Runner transmissions are very well made and can take a beating beyond anything I’ve seen with a Toyota badge. Same thing on the sequoia. The sequoia brake fluid although should be tested for moisture content not by color but at 4 years and 30k it’s likely high in moisture content. Some dealerships seem to be afraid of recommending maintenance and/or repairs because they’re afraid to loose the customer. I have an opposite thinking philosophy. First I must inform you, the owner of the car, of all maintenance and/or repairs needed not some or the important things. Because the owner of the car should be the one and the only one deciding what they want and/or are willing to spend on their car not me or the advisor. Best of luck with your cars.
    5
  772. Thank you for your comment. You are welcome to stop by the dealership where I work currently as a master diagnostic technician to see what I do and where all the information I share on this channel comes from. The intention of this channel is not to compare resumes and be the top 100,50,25 or 10 of the nation. The intention of this channel is to share what I learned over a long career as a Toyota technician so people would benefit from the information. A career which I enjoy, love and don’t plan to leave anytime soon. Now if you think I am an unqualified “idiot YouTuber” who’s taking nonsense, I respect that and I politely ask you to do the opposite of what I’m saying because you don’t trust anything on this channel. I have no agenda to convince you that I speak of experience that is applied every single day through working on Toyota’s daily because I believe my actions should speak louder than my words and resume. Having said that, if you have knowledge in this field or another, I encourage you to start your own channel to contribute and help others. It is good when people work together not against each other. Have a nice day.
    5
  773. Thank you so much for sharing my video! I really appreciate it. So hybrids vs plug in hybrids can be looked at from both ways. Toyota plug in hybrids are essentially a hybrid Toyota with an electric range when charged. So they are also suited for long road trips. I think choosing between the two is difficult. Price is usually what breaks people away from plug ins. If the higher prices is justified from gas savings then they usually go for it.
    5
  774. Thank you for watching my video! I have a Patreon account here www.Patreon.com/thecarcarenut
    5
  775. Amen! Thank you James!
    5
  776. We’ll do a tally at the end if there’s ever an end to the bundle of joy 😂
    5
  777. Hi hussein, Trying to keep it simple because hvac is not! They do use Small PTC heaters to supplement when the engine is warming up. But they’re not strong enough to really heat the car efficiently
    5
  778. No issues so far to report.
    5
  779. It does share the platform with the Avalon
    5
  780. Hi! That price is a bit high. Highest labor would be 3 hours and the water pump is not that expensive. I would shop around
    5
  781. Hi! Honestly if you need AWD like driving in heavy snow then get it. If not stay with the FWD.
    5
  782. I will do a video in the future but it’s really simple. Drain then fill until it overflows and you’re done
    5
  783. I communicated to them exactly that. Perhaps a different version or a more serious version with all the capabilities even for a higher price would make sense so people can choose the tool based on their needs.
    5
  784. I haven’t had much time with Dr Prius to have an opinion on it. But I will say that there’s no 100% accurate way of testing the hybrid battery. Short of load testing each cell which is not feasible
    5
  785. Thank you for your comment. I am not an engineer, but i work on these trucks every day. I likely have seen thousands of Tacoma’s over all their generations and I haven’t yet seen one with seized or failing drum brakes. I like facts on the ground, and the facts are the Tacoma is not a towing truck. It can tow and do it very well but not like the tundra. The brakes on the Tacoma are sufficient for it’s power level and intended use. I have not heard many Tacoma owners with concerns over brakes fading or overall issues with the brakes except the seizing front calipers. Here’s the dilemma that I see. If Toyota goes all out with the suspension and brakes and make things very very good, some will have concerns over reliability and the fact that things are too complicated. If they keep it simple they get concerns over the truck being too basic. It looks like Toyota loses no matter what? I think the Tacoma is a fantastic truck as it is, it always can be better but in the process of making it better it can end up being worse. Have a nice day.
    5
  786. You got it! Once I get one in the garage I’ll film it
    5
  787. Thank you for watching!
    5
  788. Honestly I wouldn’t replace them unless there’s an issue like a code or misfires.
    5
  789. Absolutely man! On 4 cylinders I always encourage people to do it themselves. They are very easy to replace!
    5
  790. Hi! With Toyota engines the engine doesn’t have to be cold. At work most of the spark plugs we do are in hot engines. I wouldn’t use die electric grease. Toyota coils don’t stick to plugs. In case of a misfire diagnosis you’d want to swap the affected coil with another bit in the case of maintenance spark plug replacement I wouldn’t worry about the order.
    5
  791. Toyota doesn’t use dielectric grease from the factory on coil over plug setups like the one in the video.
    5
  792. Hi Jan! So if you live in an area with salt use I would take them apart and clean things up every couple of years. If not then every few months or when you see rust forming as you drive put the car in neutral briefly and apply the brakes. When in neutral it uses the hydraulic brakes 100%
    5
  793. You won’t damage the engine. However excessive use of that mode when not needed is also not good long term.
    5
  794. Thank you for watching my videos! I went to school for Toyota training then worked at the same dealership from entry level to master diagnostic technician! It’s a good career but hard and stressful.
    5
  795. Congratulations! Enjoy it with health
    5
  796. I think that’s a bit much honestly. You’re better off with a 5th generation
    5
  797. Hi! Yes it’s exactly the same as your highlander
    5
  798. This engine doesn’t have a block drain
    5
  799. Hi! Yes that is good and not an issue. Time doesn’t do as much as mileage does
    5
  800. Hi brother! So using an air lift or vacuum kit can work however I’ve seen it also not work on this engine. This one is a tough one to bleed without this procedure
    5
  801. Your 2013 ES350 doesn’t have one and as a matter of fact all Toyota and Lexus models with this exact engine doesn’t have one.
    5
  802. A bit more involved but very diy. I’m looking for one to film with in Chicago.
    5
  803. Hi! The repair manual! Which is available at techinfo.Toyota.com
    5
  804. The corolla
    5
  805. It is very shameful what some dealerships are doing. Selling cars over MSRP because of the low stock! Selling the car at MSRP is ok anything over is a complete rip off!
    5
  806. Hi! Hybrids are made outside Japan now as well. Used to be Japan only
    5
  807. Hi! It’s really up to you but a 6 month oil change is highly recommended. If you do regular short trips this becomes a requirement per the owners manual.
    5
  808. Thank you sir!
    5
  809. Hi! Sometime In January I’ll have a video explaining everything
    5
  810. I would either connect a trickle charger or disconnect the battery. If not doing either a small jumper pack from amazon would help get it started. It doesn’t take much power to start a hybrid
    5
  811. Hi! While I cannot comment directly why but I’d say it probably has to do with cost and size of the car. Nickel metal batteries has proven to be super reliable already perhaps that’s why they went ahead with it in the RAV4 and not switched it to lithium ion
    5
  812. You got it! First the inverter video which leads directly to the transmission video.
    5
  813. Two schools of thought on this one. I am strongly against paying to have “nitrogen” installed in your tires. If it’s free sure.
    5
  814. A short period of time at a car wash is ok.
    5
  815. Depends on the hybrid model. Some hybrid model can do some towing some don’t.
    5
  816. Hi Dima. Be careful with jump starting cars from a hybrid. Turning on the engine only puts even more strain on everything. This car doesn’t have an alternator so having the engine on or off is irrelevant to the electrical system just more load.
    5
  817. MrWawer thank you for your comment! My intention with the speed is related to my area which is Chicago. I see people flying in their Prius at 100-110 mph for miles and miles. Now you take a long drive at normal speeds of say 60-80mph you shouldn’t have any issues. Excellent point on the auxiliary battery! I see this all the time as most hybrids with the exception of the very new ones only has a tiny 12v battery really only designed to power the hybrid computers and flip on a relay. Maybe I’ll include this in the 2nd part of this video!
    5
  818. Leaving the car is park is perfectly fine as the hybrid system is able to charge the battery as needed by turning on the engine.
    5
  819. Congratulations! I think you will love it! As far as battery life, usually if the battery is taken care of it will last for a reasonable life nothing of course lasts forever but if the car is 10-15 years old and has 200-300k miles and the battery goes out I wouldn’t consider that bad. In the next week or two I will be posting a video with some prime specific tips on how to take care of it and maximize the life of the battery. You’ll be notified if you’re subscribed if not check back in the next week or two
    5
  820. Hi George! Thank you for your comment! I’m glad I could help!
    5
  821. Hi! Honestly none that I have seen or used with good results
    5
  822. You are right in that thought however the engine will not start and immediately go to high rpm like in a conventional torque converter car. It will likely stay at idle turning the charging motor to charge the battery then if acceleration demands it will rev up. But yes that would be a slight strain that could cause issues over time.
    5
  823. I’m on the hunt for one to do a full technical review. Very hard to get one
    5
  824. Thank you!
    5
  825. Thank you! The Avalon with adaptive suspension will be the smoothest. The Camry however is not bad at all. Actually the Camry and Avalon in non adaptive suspension are pretty similar ride quality wise with the Avalon having a slight advantage that’s not worth the price difference for ride quality
    5
  826. Thank you for the suggestion! I’m actually looking into it and should announce it in the new channel video update
    5
  827. Hi! I would wait until 5k honestly
    5
  828. As soon as you get to 95 drain the excess fluid. If you get over 113 close the drain plug shut off the car and wait until it cools down below 95
    5
  829. Hi! A single drain and fill every 60k with original fluid keeps things protected for long. You can do a flush but it’s not always better. And I don’t recommend non original fluid
    5
  830. Very impressive high mileage! Any chance you can share a picture of the car and mileage for the community?
    5
  831. I will ask them
    5
  832.  @frankiebpr  I will ask the owner on the next service and let you know
    5
  833. Your engine looked almost like this one. I remember it ;-)
    5
  834. Hi! I would get the hardwire kit. I think it’s a much better setup vs just using a power outlet plug
    5
  835. Hi! The 4Runner will be the most reliable of the 3 then the highlander then the sienna hybrid. The sienna hybrid is an all new model so I’d give it a year the highlander is awesome in reliability but the 4Runner is so good that it’s hard to beat. Maintenance expenses on the highlander could be lower and of course gas mileage is better. But you can’t go wrong with either.
    5
  836. If you’ve been using 5w30 stay with it. No need to go back for the highlander engines.
    5
  837. Hi! The gas smell would need diagnosis as it could be something with the venting of the evap system. You should be good with 5w30 on your highlanders engine.
    5
  838. Hi Jeremy! The sequoia is a very good truck but terrible on gas. Maintenance wise it’s close to a 4Runner being more elevated than a car or small suv but nothing crazy it’s still a Toyota. With sequoias I’d be careful shopping for used ones. That is the kind of truck that people buy them and keep them long. Many that are out there for sale are either neglected or have issues. Finding a good one is important.
    5
  839. I highly recommend it for the 2GR-FE. Although it’s a very tough engine and can take some pretty serious neglect but changing the oil at 5k and 6 months will prevent common variable valve timing clogging issues common for this engine. First 2GR-FE on the Toyota side surfaced on the 2005 Avalon.
    5
  840. Hi! Honestly if they’re maintained right expect at least 10-15 years and easily over 300k if rust is not an issue.
    5
  841. Hi! Thank you for watching. Rear drum brake adjustment video is planned and will come in the future
    5
  842. Thank you for watching Mathew. Don’t be. Take care of your truck and it will take care of you. While you are still under powertrain warranty do check the truck over for any leaks. At this point if you don’t have any likely you won’t have them.
    5
  843. I totally hear you David. I’m the same way. The originals work best and the inserts are not expensive at all.
    5
  844. Hi! That one is not as common as you'd think they are. We've had random water leaks but not only from roof rack and mainly on very new cars. Not something chronic enough that i'd consider a common problem as water leaks could happen on any model really
    5
  845. Hi! Maintenance costs will be slightly more in hybrids and the prime but not significantly more given the fact that they have less components that could go out in the long run( belt alternator starter... etc) I’d say the gas and hybrid models are pretty similar. The primes high price could be an issue cost wise but it’s also a reliable and good option long term but the battery on the prime will be significantly more expensive than the regular hybrid
    5
  846. Hi! The manual transmission version is not available in my area however the manual option is a good one as Toyota manual transmissions are very reliable. Take care of the car and it will take care of you
    5
  847. Hi! Many have asked the same so I’ll plan to make a dedicated video on the DCM
    5
  848. That would be a good question for Toyota. It would make sense that they do
    5
  849. Double clutching works when you’re clutch or pressure plate is wearing down. Otherwise it doesn’t really serve a purpose
    5
  850. Doing so many similar jobs on the same brand you get familiar with this shape/size/color of bolts. In this particular case I labeled bolts in packs by major components ( dash-seats-headliner…etc) because we’re leaving this car for a while and we wanted to not loose anything
    5
  851. Hi Randy! The serpentine belt area is tight but a bit easier through the wheel well. Where that apron cover that I removed in this video that exposed the harmonic balancer. No need to drop the sub frame of course for the belt. This engine has hydraulic lifters so no valve adjustments. For the sealer on the engine I would use the original sealer it’s not expensive and it’s very good. For the AC if you place it on a 20-25 min vacuum afterwards you don’t need to replace the drier
    5
  852. It took around 8-10
    5
  853. Hi! I haven’t seen one yet but most of them that leak on the Tacoma are 16-17
    5
  854. Hi! It’s a good engine. Somewhat similar to this one but improved
    5
  855. Not as problematic but very expensive as well.
    5
  856. Hi! Officially for emissions. From the field they look tired at 60k possibly due to direct injection
    5
  857. Agreed. Many wonder the same as well as it really has no benefit over the spin on filter which now they’re going back to.
    5
  858. The owner's manual recommendation is the minimum maintenance required to maintain your warranty. It has always been that case! And in the service guide it does state conditions certain conditions that would switch you over to 5k\6mo oil change interval
    5
  859. Took me a few takes to get it ok-ish for the video
    5
  860. Thank you Ed!
    5
  861. Hi! An oil catch can could help however this engine does have an oil separator built in which does the same. If the engine burns oil or is overfilled with oil then the issues start with excessive oil in the intake
    5
  862. Hi! Usually they get stuck closed which is a problem because of oil leaks and possible oil consumption. 86 videos are on the list just need to find a candidate to use for the video
    5
  863. Hi! The egr cooler is cool the air for the egr system not for the engine cooling system. I’m many things could cause your overheating. As simple as debris blocking the radiator or medium things like a weak water pump or serious like a head gasket issue

  865. Hi john! You can actually see when it’s carboned up. It does impede flow when it’s carboned up but when it’s now you still can’t see straight through it. Best way is to shine a light through and see if you can see some of the reflection through it
    5
  866. Yep! And I wonder if it will have the same engine as the new LS
    5
  867. I think the tundra is not just a real truck, it’s a real American truck proudly built by hard working Texans!
    5
  868. Some of the issues do some don’t. In the future I will make one dedicated to the sequoia
    5
  869. You can’t go wrong with a 12 v6 solid car and solid engine. Just make sure it was taken care of with good maintenance history
    5
  870. I’d say 2014 or as called 2014.5 later build 2014s nothing wrong with 2012-2013 but the price difference is small if you’re shopping for one I’d get the newest one. Most of the issues are fixed by 2014.
    5
  871. sideskraft they are very reliable however every car has its issues that are common. When taken care of well they over last a lot of cars easily.
    5
  872. Hi! Check the brakes for seizing. And then check and clean the throttle body
    5
  873. Most dealers do a flush.
    5
  874. Thank you for watching. Most dealerships flush the fluid and cycle around 10-12 quarts through. If they are draining and filling they do it once only
    5
  875. If you have a Toyota with direct Tpms and the tire threshold is set right you don’t need to do anything after the rotate. If it’s indirect then it would need to be reinitialized.
    5
  876. Hi! The iM is ok but I think the corolla hatchback is better
    5
  877. Thank you! Yes I do my own editing. I really enjoy editing and learning how to do it
    5
  878. Nothing different. Many will tell you otherwise but from experience nothing different
    5
  879. Yes never let the master drop below minimum when you’re extracting fluid
    5
  880. Hi! Replacing the fluid in the reservoir doesn’t help at all. We’re not after appearance of fluid. The fluid doesn’t circulate so what’s left in the lines is still old. Either replace what’s on the lines or leave it alone.
    5
  881. Very well said! Thank you! The best part is that good dealerships that are interested in truly take care of their customers with sound advice and service end up with better outcomes than those that are more interested in numbers. There’s a problem with the automotive business with lack of technicians. There’s a much larger number of technicians retiring or leaving than there are new ones. And some time in the near future the boom will happen where cars are basically space ships on wheels with no one to fix them
    5
  882. Hi! In the upcoming videos we figured this style video works better with a GoPro so we started using it. You’ll see it in upcoming videos
    5
  883. Hi! Yes the 2nd generation Prius has an overly complicated evap system which can get really expensive if this go south.
    5
  884. I’m sorry you’re dealing with this known problem with the rav4 hybrid. What you are doing is not overfilling at all. That problem have caused a lot of anger and disappointment and still waiting for it to be fixed. Adding 12 gallons and leaving a small room of error is an excellent idea! I hope Toyota solves the issue for you soon.
    5
  885. Hi! If there’s no issues like check engine light or hard time filling the car with gas or even a strong gas smell likely you’re good. But don’t push your luck and top off. It’s not worth it.
    5
  886. If this was a one owner car that we know what the maintenance history on the trans then it’s a different story but it’s not
    5
  887. 1080p is up. Hopefully 4k finishes processing soon. Never had this issue before. Working on it
    5
  888. With proper maintenance it’s possible that it will last a long time. Cant really put a mileage figure but it’s very possible as they are well made.
    5
  889. Thank you for watching my video. You can call any Toyota dealership with the vin number to ask about open recalls and they’ll tell you. If you buy one and the recall hasn’t been done just get it done and you’re good to go
    5
  890. Ahmed Al-mutawa you’re welcome. Here’s a video on how to replace the trans fluid is interested https://youtu.be/eRxSu4-4ojo
    5
  891. Colby May thank you for your comment! I’m glad I could help!
    5
  892. It’s the excessive blow by because the engine burns oil.
    5
  893. Would love to find a 3UR long block from Toyota new for 8k. I have a couple cars with a UR engine that needs a long block. Would love to help folks with those prices. Actual price is closer to 32k for a 3UR long block by the way :-)
    5
  894. True! That was fun when they covered it by the policy to replace it
    5
  895. Thank you for watching my video. Many factors play into gas mileage of cars. I would look at tires and items you are carrying in your car. Also I would look at what kind of oil weight are you using...etc
    5
  896. Thank you! I agree this was my first video and in later videos I fixed the microphone! The power steering line is easy to replace! I’m glad you do your own repairs! That v6 is hard to work on but not impossible. That intermediate shaft drives people crazy it’s very annoying and so easy to fix
    5
  897. Hi! Mileage is not an issue for these cars it’s more what condition they are in and how well they were maintained.
    5
  898. If it’s a 4 cylinder make sure the engine has been fixed for oil burning if not I’d walk away. If it’s a v6 make sure it’s not leaking oil and doesn’t have rattles on cold start up
    5
  899. Hi Ionut! Thank you for watching my channel!
    5
  900. Silver for ease of cleaning and as Rodney said hides scratches very well. Magnetic grey is a very nice color but hard to keep clean and scratches are very visible. My Camry was magnetic grey
    5
  901. Hi Jose! So I’m trying to find a good budget friendly scan tool for DIY that has good capabilities. When I find one that passes the tests I will post a review. The Carista is good for owners but doesn’t have all the diagnostic features for repair
    5
  902. I personally think the 2.0 is better
    5
  903. Thanks for the update bill! Pinned
    5
  904. Hi! The next generation is better but very hard to find under 10k in good shape. I’d much rather you buy a good clean one in this generation than buy a run down one from the next generation for a lower price
    5
  905. Thank you for your comment. I respect your opinion however the timing belt is simple to replace on the 3.3L. The 3.5L engine is a great engine but due to difficulty of service and high cost to fix some of the oil leaks the 3.3L is a lot more DIY friendly.
    5
  906. I highly advise you to NEVER use stop leak!!! Let it leak or fix the leak but don’t use stop leak!!! It fixes the leak and clogs everything else in its way. Be careful.
    5
  907. I’m sorry to hear you had a bad experience with your sienna. These vans can get expensive if they didn’t have a good life from the previous owners.
    5
  908. Hi! Your 2006 sienna doesn’t have the cooler line because it has the awesome 3.3L 3MZ engine. The cooler line was on the 2007 and up with the 3.5 2GR
    5
  909. Hi! Unlike the MAF sensor and throttle body. The O2 and AF sensors are designed to run in , for lack of a better word, a disgusting environment of post combustion exhaust. They tend to hold well and while you’ll see people saying that cleaning them is a good idea I disagree and think you should leave them alone. If you have a failure or a code then maybe attempt to clean them and see if the issue improves if not then replace it.
    5
  910. Hi! They’re sealed now. That’s the design they went with and so far no issues
    5
  911. Hi! Both should be around 95-114
    5
  912. Yep that does happen but as long as you have fluid dripping anywhere in that fluid range you’re good
    5
  913. Will do! I have a soft spot for the last cast iron block engine Toyota makes!
    5
  914. I would get 4WD just for resale value. But that’s totally up to you.
    5
  915. So the idea is letting a battery sit for a long period of time without any charge discharge cycles is the issue. You could have it sit for the whole year then one day drive the 600 miles that is not a good scenario. However consistency of driving is what’s important
    5
  916. That’s a good idea as long as the car is not in a garage
    5
  917. If you schedule the charge and give it permission it will do that
    5
  918. What is your question? I answer close to 300 comments a day and no other car channel does this on YouTube. Have a wonderful day.
    5
  919. Hi! Driving them they feel similar with the prime having a typical electric car take off “jolt” but quickly fades out around 30 mph and it’s similar otherwise.
    5
  920. Hi! 5 keys max can programmed on most models
    5
  921. Cloned smart keys are an issue. Not sure how simple it is to clone one.
    5
  922. It could be!!! They don’t sell crate engines. The short block seen here is about as big one component that you. An get
    5
  923. Hey brother! I actually have a transmission sitting in my garage. Waiting for time to tear it apart on video
    5
  924. The UK uses miles as well. Other European countries use kilometers. It all comes down to oil. I have been saying this for a long time and people still don’t want to buy the cheap insurance. I hope everyone that owns any car has it for well over 200k miles without any problems.
    5
  925. Thank you! Honestly go with what your heart wants. They’re both good cars. The Avalon is a very good car for comfort. The Si is a sensible fun car. It’s not a high performance car where maintenance and repairs will be expensive but it’s fun enough to justify its price.
    5
  926. Hi! It has a bit stiffer than the LE but not like the rock hard suspension on the TRD
    5
  927. It would be if you drive it daily and not park it for weeks at a time
    5
  928. I would definitely give the Sequioa a few months before considering one. Let them work out any issues before buying one
    5
  929. There’s opposing theories on this one. Hybrids have been around for a while and no issues are present however conventional start stop on gasoline only models time will tell which theory is true
    5
  930. Aisin and denso are oem suppliers for toyoya
    5
  931. Thank you my brother!
    5
  932. Thank you for watching Alex! It truly is a nice car. Everyone that commented their dislike of the BMW part would change their mind if they drove one.
    5
  933. Hi! Thank you for watching! Throttle response change is not a physical change. That’s what I referred to as software changes. All it’s doing is changing how the computer responds to the throttle input. This is all throttle by wire and there’s no physical connection between the gas pedal and the hybrid system or the engine.
    5
  934. I hear a lot of good feedback on the ovtune haven’t driven a truck with it yet. Anyone local with it? (Chicago area?
    5
  935. Hi! Thank you for watching my channel! On the 4runners I haven’t seen issues with the body rusting but the frame yes. So protecting the frame is a very good move in ensuring you don’t have problems at any point. On the body any dings or rock chips touch up and you should be good
    5
  936. Hi! Honestly it’s never too late. If there’s surface rust you can slow it down significantly by applying rust protection or you can even stop it if a rust converter is used to neutralize the rust then coat it to prevent it from coming back
    5
  937. Hi! At least 500 miles
    5
  938. And that is totally normal to see for a new engine. Just keeping them for 10k makes my stomach turn honestly.
    5
  939. They don’t mandate it. If you’re driving normal driving conditions then it’s ok. But there are a lot of conditions that would require 5k oil changes and a lot of normal driving falls into it
    5
  940. I would look at the receipts. They should clearly state what was done and the parts used and if this is in the us likely an oil change was done at 10k and 20k services.
    5
  941. Hi! Stick with what’s recommended for your car. Most if not all new toyotas use synthetic oil.
    5
  942. Hi! There are many good brands of brake pads and rotors out there. Akebono and advics are good and are oem quality
    5
  943. BEVs do have lower maintenance than gasoline engines. One small problem is you save up on maintenance initially to pay for the battery later. So they’ll be great for 10 years but after that things can go south quickly
    5
  944. Hi! Vacuum or compressed air. Don’t use water
    5
  945. Hi! That is enough. You’ll never be able to drain the whole capacity short of taking the engine apart
    5
  946. At this point it’s possible. No official word on it yet
    5
  947. Hi! Yes it is safe to use a portable jumper to jump start your hybrid.
    5
  948. I would stick with the manufacturer recommendation. The 0w8 is on the radar and possibly coming soon in the US. Well never hear the end of that when it does happen
    5
  949. The 2022 is the mid gear refresh but they missed on the radio so that’ll get updated
    5
  950. Hi! Honestly I don’t like them. Well maintained cars that are driven normally shouldn’t need cleaners to keep the cats running well
    5
  951. Hi! Honestly the cleaner won’t do much if the car is still burning oil. I would fix the oil consumption first then use a cleaner specifically designed for catalytic converters
    5
  952. Hi! I would change the transmission fluid at 60k miles and the diffs and transfer case every 30k
    5
  953. Hi! Honestly I specialize in Toyota products and don’t have as much experience with other brands
    4
  954. There’s a software update for the DCM that would resolve the issue of the battery draining.
    4
  955. They are good only current issue is the fuel tank not filling up but once that issue is resolved I think they are really nice suvs
    4
  956. Yes it does. on side of the bottom of the back seat.
    4
  957. Hi John! Honestly at this point likely the damage is already done. No point in changing the fluid. I would shop around for a used transmission and have a local shop replace it. Labor isn’t super high to replace it and a used part would be the route I’d go if you want to save this car and the rest of it is in good shape
    4
  958. Drive by wire systems do have a slight delay when taking off and that’s by design
    4
  959. Hi! I would use a spray bottle with soap and water spray it then use compressed air to dry things up then wipe it down
    4
  960. Hi! Every oil change is excessive I think every 20-30k.
    4
  961. Likely too small to pick up. Was it at night?
    4
  962. Honestly I wouldn’t. And if you do I would cut out the area around the camera.
    4
  963. Very true! The calibration brings things within a zone of correctness if you would. Other factors like load and tire pressure variations are accounted for however overload the car or over inflate the tires and everything goes out the window
    4
  964. Yes it would. Tested it on a few hybrids and worked great
    4
  965. Hi! For personal use in the trunk of my car yes. For professional use no
    4
  966. Thank you for watching my video David. I wouldn’t jump start another car from your prime or any Toyota hybrid. A video I’m working on is going to explain further on this.
    4
  967. Thank you for watching! The USB port is to charge the unit rapidly from a usb outlet not to charge a phone.
    4
  968. I’d say so. It has no battery.
    4
  969. I haven’t driven one at highway speeds yet I’m waiting to get one to drive. But driving the sienna around town seems quiet
    4
  970. So far they’re made in Japan.
    4
  971. I’d lean towards the RAV4 as well honestly. Eyeing the RAV4 prime now.
    4
  972. Yes you can.
    4
  973. Yes. That will come in the future.
    4
  974. Many asked about this I will do a demo
    4
  975. Ha ha it’s not the mystery purchase! That’s coming soon and it’s very proudly being built in the USA.
    4
  976. Haven’t gotten it yet. Back order I guess
    4
  977. Hi! I should get it in the next few days. It will take me a few weeks to test it then I’ll likely review it. If you don’t see a review in 2-3 weeks write a comment and I’ll let you know what I think about it
    4
  978. brookref I’m glad I could help! Now as for the noise your description sounds like a strut mount! I would actually get it checked. There’s a couple ways to check it as I mentioned in the video. Tell your mechanic to remove the cowl cover and look at the top of the struts, do they look rusty?
    4
  979. Thank you for watching my video! It could be an issue but could you record a video of the noise and email it to me? I'll take a listen and advice accordingly.
    4
  980. Thank you for watching my video! When you’re buying from a private party I would ask them if it’s possible to have the car inspected by a mechanic before buying. If they have a problem with that I wonder what are they trying to hide?
    4
  981. Hi! Ethanol free gas is worth it. Protection and better gas mileage
    4
  982. Hi! It’s actually the same but the measurement is different from the US and Australia
    4
  983. Hi! Every gas station brand uses different additives. Keeping at the same gas station would let the cleaning additives be continuous at the same pace and they tend to work better. Of course it’s not always possible but whenever possible is a good idea. Another benefit is avoiding bad gas. If you fill at the same gas station or brand and you never had issues then you know that gas is good.
    4
  984. Hi! Yes that is accurate. Ethanol content in gasoline actually drops your gas mileage
    4
  985. Hi! You’re not. The newer engines run fine on 87 but for best performance use premium. So go with what makes you comfortable
    4
  986. That’s likely an issue with the hybrid system. If it’s not readying on this takes out problems with the battery. It’s really hard to tell without diagnosis. Usually insolation issues prevent hybrids from starting. It could also be low power from the battery. Did you try to jump start it even though there’s power? Wouldn’t hurt to try
    4
  987. Hi naveen! So on those cars for optimum performance they recommend premium but you can safely use regular
    4
  988. Honestly I wouldn’t change them unless there’s an issue.
    4
  989. Hi! Unfortunately I don’t have one for the Avalon yet. Looking for a car in the Chicago area to film with
    4
  990. Thank you Ravi. Per your request I didn’t say anything in the video but part of this credit goes to you for volunteering your time and your car to make this possible. So thank you so much!
    4
  991. Thank you for watching my video. Once I get a Camry hybrid of those years to film with I’ll get a video out
    4
  992. The 2016-2018 RAV4 hybrid is not as involved but not very simple like the corolla hybrid. Video coming up here real soon for the 16-18 RAV4 hybrid
    4
  993. Hi! It is the same engine and setup. Stop by in the summer!
    4
  994. Hi! Honestly with the caps if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.
    4
  995. Hi! You can use either without issues.
    4
  996. Hi! If the breather is not a remote one if it spins or moves it’s good.
    4
  997. Hi jim! It doesn’t use the rear wheels to charge when you are driving as the drag they create to charge will cause a higher draw to drive the car than the charge it’s creating.
    4
  998. Hi! You can shift into B mode while moving
    4
  999. That’s actually in my opinion the best time to use Eco mode. Eco mode around town can get frustrating but at steady speed and small variances in speed it’s good. And the distance I agree it will actually brake early and mostly use regen in that case
    4
  1000. Hi! MGR makes a difference in snow but not off roading. It doesn’t have torque vectoring it’s just an open differential
    4
  1001. It does but is slightly different. You have S mode which allows you to shift manually into gears. It’s actually just different “levels” if you would of B mode
    4
  1002. Thank you for watching my videos! So the oil will still need to be changed at the same frequency because the engine is running enough to justify the same maintenance interval. Regarding brakes because they are not used at the same intensity as a non hybrid car so they last much longer in a hybrid car.
    4
  1003. That is just a design feature. That shifter doesn’t have a cable so it’s fully electronic. Some other hybrid models with a physical shifter does have a physical cable going to the transmission and that cable only gets the transmission out of park and gives the computer a signal
    4
  1004. Hi! These didn’t have a filter but one can be bought for it. It looks like a hair cap and it mounts over the vent behind the seat
    4
  1005. Yes that is correct. The UP arrow on the original filters is not the direction of flow!
    4
  1006. Contact the customer experience center or Toyota customer service in your country if you’re not in the us
    4
  1007. I think that’s a good car you bought for a good price
    4
  1008. Hi! I would adjust the fluid at 95
    4
  1009. The v6 in this model is solid and really doesn’t have many issues if the maintenance was kept
    4
  1010. Hi! The IS is completely different because of the orientation of the engine.
    4
  1011. Hi! Mostly price over anything honestly.
    4
  1012. Hi! It will help yes
    4
  1013. No need to be sorry my brother. If we all agreed on everything the world would be black and white! I fully respect your opinion.
    4
  1014. Hi! Could be something on the threads. Next time inspect it and if you see something try to replace the drain plug
    4
  1015. Hi! You don’t have to have one. You might need to clean the throttle body afterwards if the idle is low
    4
  1016. Hi! Push the start button twice so the lights on the dash would come on but the car is not ready on then start the procedure
    4
  1017. Hi naveen. Agreed with Volvo09. If shops want to stay in business they have to adapt. And shops that are stuck in the ways of the past will show. You’ll see a bunch of old cars and nothing new in their bays. I almost can guarantee many technicians outside the dealership don’t know if this procedure because they would just connect a scan tool and use it to do the same.. In the end a good mechanic is just that, a good mechanic and they could be at a dealership or an independent shop. A bad mechanic will also be found at the dealership and the independent. I would get to know your mechanic to know what kind of person they are and more importantly how their work is
    4
  1018. Hi! Honestly never if you don’t have vibration or concerns. It’s not a maintenance item. If tires are out of balance you’ll feel them.
    4
  1019. I would recommend Michelin’s. They are expensive, but they are king of smooth and quiet ride.
    4
  1020. Hi Bob! On the spare tire no I wouldn’t replace it as it’s temporary and typically lasts a lot longer. Missing wheel weight wouldn’t cause cupping. Front to back is good.
    4
  1021. That is a classic rip off.
    4
  1022. I would have them balanced at another place. Many places don’t recalibrate their machines regularly and have issues
    4
  1023. In the Chicago area many use it in the winter but as far is off roading a much smaller percentage of 4WD truck buyers actually use it for off roading.
    4
  1024. Hi! You can use them without driving. Switch to 4lo and lock the center diff then go back. Just to move things
    4
  1025. Hi! In this series no. I am looking for a candidate truck in the Chicago area to do an actual DIY install for the kit
    4
  1026. That could be cause by a sticking oil control valve. If it happens again replace the oil control valve of the affected bank and side and you should be good. Very diy especially if it’s bank 2
    4
  1027. If you’re driving on a mountainous area then it’s a must otherwise brakes fade but if driving in flat area I’d avoid it as brakes are cheaper than transmission clutches.
    4
  1028. Yes sir! Born again saved and sealed in Jesus’s name.
    4
  1029. Thank you! You got it! It is in the plans to go back one generation for the 2004-2010 common issues. It will come in the near future. You’ll be notified if subscribed if not check back from time to time.
    4
  1030. Hi. You see it this way because there’s no similar video for the Other ones. The highlander and sienna are very good cars in their segment but if buying used you’d want to check the issues and make sure you’re buying a good one
    4
  1031. Hi! I usually recommend you replace your transmission fluid every 60k or 6 years. You’re over that and around 100k is when I’d get nervous about changing it. I would take a sample of the fluid and see how it looks and decide from there.
    4
  1032. Hi! The sienna remains one of the best mini vans on the market. When buying one used this video will help you easily distinguish a badly maintained and neglected one from a good one.
    4
  1033. That’s a great video suggestion! Thank you!
    4
  1034. Honestly this engine is solid otherwise. Maybe and rarely the water pump will leak which is easy to replace and the belt tensioner would make noise.
    4
  1035. Hi! Narrow compared to the land cruiser was the reference in the video.
    4
  1036. Lexus GX please with aniline leather with the sport package. In black or white. And I’ll make it last a lot longer than 20 years.
    4
  1037. Ok in this case the suspension change might help but before you spend any money I would consider driving an SE model to see if you notice a significant difference so you know before you spend money
    4
  1038. Hi! Nickel metal hydride
    4
  1039. Hi! They mainly switching slowly to aluminum body panels and kinda of down sizing on other components namely the battery and the hybrid system
    4
  1040. Hi! That’s correct! And on the nx the turbo engine have had a few issues that could continue and they’re too new to tell the whole story
    4
  1041. Hi! Yes it is a common issue with the secondary air injection. A small foam filter breaks down and goes through the system and causes the failures.
    4
  1042. The CT is a good car with a few things that are common like egr, potential oil consumption…etc they not the best model to buy but they’re also not a bad model to buy either.
    4
  1043. Hi! No problems with the IS300 at all.
    4
  1044. Hi! Keep the maintenance is the main thing. Coolant should’ve already been replaced. Transmission fluid every 60k miles
    4
  1045. Hi! I will say this with upmost respect. You kind of agreed with my point on the LS460. Not every buyer is a diy and will be able to look for deals. $950 for control arms can break the bank for some one who just bought this car let alone $5000 instead for something as simple as control arms. It’s a great car but comparing it to an ES for example the cost of ownership will be higher for the LS
    4
  1046. Hi! The ls430 in my opinion is more reliable than the ls460. And the lc500 is good so far.
    4
  1047. They’re just better overall down to the way they drive honestly. And it is less to maintain and have less common issues
    4
  1048. Thank you! Will do. I hope sometime next year the website will go live for such information to be readily available
    4
  1049. A separate video for hybrids is planned for the near future
    4
  1050. Hi! Here’s a video I did with exact details on the whole process which applies to your ES https://youtu.be/eRxSu4-4ojo
    4
  1051. The CT is a good model to buy, early ones up to 2014 had a potential to develop severe oil consumption issues. Later ones were much improved.
    4
  1052. Hi! No fuel dilution issues on the dynamic force yet other than cars that are frequently driven short distances and go 10k oil changes against the recommendation in the manual
    4
  1053. You’re welcome! Have a wonderful day.
    4
  1054. Hi! I think 0w20 should be ok if that’s all that’s available. But people who had issues ran excessively high weights like 10w40 and higher
    4
  1055. Thank you for watching my video. Just know that the engine in your Camry has an oil separator located underneath the intake manifold and it essentially does the job of a catch can. So adding a catch can doesn’t really accomplish much as it already has one.
    4
  1056. Early example of direct injection at least in the US were on the Lexus side it was not the same and it did have carbon problems and they were actually pretty bad.
    4
  1057. Hi! That’s a good car. I would still check the car well and make sure it’s taken care of. If everything looks good that’s a good one.
    4
  1058. Hi! Likely 0w20 is ok but some are going as high as 10w30 10w40 which is not a good idea for this engine
    4
  1059. I try my best John! After all I do this to help people. Listening and engaging with people is what keeps this channel going.
    4
  1060. Time will tell I suppose but I don’t think much actually.
    4
  1061. Honestly the LE model makes more sense in a car like this
    4
  1062. Curious did you end up buying an SE or other trims?
    4
  1063. Hi! The Camry non hybrid has a traditional 8 speed transmission the hybrid has an eCVT which is completely different
    4
  1064. I hear you Ron. It seems lately were regularly getting new training due to new technology. Doubt the oil changes will change unless they go to dry sump which would complicate the oil change but I don’t see a scenario where everyday Toyota’s need that
    4
  1065. Hey brother. The scan tool will not read bleed mode but you’ll see the water pump go to max rpm and all valves open
    4
  1066. Hi! Other conditions that I would highly recommend the 5k oil change interval are short trips under 5 miles and cold weather below freezing. Do these apply to you?
    4
  1067. Honestly they are both good. The old one is likely more diy friendly and more basic. But the advantages of gas mileage might be worth going with the complexity of the newer ones.
    4
  1068. Thank you for watching my video Jeffery. I didn’t mention the spark plugs because nothing have changed there. It would probably take any DIY mechanic at any skill level 5-10 minutes to change them.
    4
  1069. Hi Jon! Some more technical information videos will come in the future
    4
  1070. I shared my opinion! If you need a truck with a bed but the Tacoma. If you need a Truck that’s closed off SUV buy a 4runner. Case closed… just wish it was as simple as that 😂
    4
  1071. That I believe is the reason. However they lost them in the newer cylinder heads. Must’ve found a better way to machine them.
    4
  1072. Possible. We do have another car that’s in the works after this series
    4
  1073. You can take your car to any dealership or independent shop for maintenance without issues. Just keep the records so you can track things.
    4
  1074. Hi! They are very similar honestly
    4
  1075. Hi! I would replace the 3 idlers. Not the tensioner unless you have issues with it
    4
  1076. Hi! I did that a while back. I left the link to that video in the description
    4
  1077. Hi! Both iterations of the UZ engine are interference. Hope this helps
    4
  1078. Hi Ed! Thank you for watching my channel! It’s a lot of work keeping the channel and my day job. But it’s all worth if folks are finding useful information from it.
    4
  1079. Glad you replaced the battery! The crank sensor on your sienna is not fun to replace.
    4
  1080. Congratulations on your venza purchase! Sweet car!
    4
  1081. Hi! Which year RX?
    4
  1082. Thank you! I will explain the power flow to the motors in the transmission video which is coming up Friday. The gasoline engine turns one of the motors to generate which then can charge the battery and drive the other one in addition to driving the car.
    4
  1083. Thank you! The mass air flow cleaning could help but is not something I would pay too much for. If doing it yourself use a very small amount of brake cleaner and let it dry or use compressed air very lightly to dry it and you’re good to go
    4
  1084. Hi Shane! Thanks for watching! I am interested in hybrid trucks as well! That’s going to be cool
    4
  1085. Hi! If you have any issues with the shocks leaking compare the price of fixing then vs replacing with regular shocks. I would go regular shocks and be done if that ever happens
    4
  1086. The 4runner is very close in reliability to the land cruiser in my opinion
    4
  1087. You did not make a mistake. The land cruiser is nicer but also cost almost double so it better be nicer! The 4runner is a solid truck that will last you for years to come
    4
  1088. That’s how True Car Care Nuts do it!
    4
  1089. Hi! If it’s only down one quart you’re good and have nothing to worry about. Usually they leave that much buffer to make sure nothing is affected should the oil level drops
    4
  1090. Thanks! I’ll let him know
    4
  1091. Hi! You don’t need to apply new to the threads. That’s sealer overflow from when the front cover was installed
    4
  1092. Hi! Just over 175k
    4
  1093. Hi! Hard acceleration will rev the engine up on hybrids
    4
  1094. Thank you for your comment! So The reason they tell you not to overfill is to prevent splashing of coolant if it’s overfilled due to expansion of the coolant when it warms up. As long as it’s an below low when the car is completely cold then you’re good. The 4th gen so far has been behaving for oil consumption however do your 5k 6 month oil changes and you shouldn’t have a reason to worry about oil consumption in the future. I miss the old Manuals as well! Dealership internet speeds are not consistent and sometimes I have to wait forever for the electronic manual to load while the book is easier!
    4
  1095. Hi! Up to 10 miles I’d say
    4
  1096. Hi! So the gas cap I wouldn’t consider a maintenance item. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. If the cap has issues that cause the check engine to come on then replace it. Otherwise I wouldn’t and if you ever do I highly recommend the original one as it’s 20 bucks and is well made.
    4
  1097. Hi! Yes that’s good
    4
  1098. The door of the filter should pop off easily. If not you can simply use a strong vacuum and clean it.
    4
  1099. Thank you for watching my videos. The dealership is incorrect on this one. Your car comes with a filter from the factory and it’s located underneath the back seat on the passenger side. Here’s the part no for the replacement filter G92DH-33050
    4
  1100. Hi! Plug in hybrids do well in cold weather actually. The batteries have a heater built in to condition the battery before charging. The only part that’s not good for cold is the heating. The heat pump system doesn’t work below 14 degrees very well and will force the engine on
    4
  1101. Go for it! I would love to see more and more hybrid master techs. Start with UTI TPAT and put life on hold for 5 years and you’re there. It’s a lot of work but well worth it. Best of luck to you.
    4
  1102. Hi! If your hybrid model is Awd then it would have a rear differential just like the one in the video
    4
  1103. Hi John. Hope you’re doing well. So DIY mechanics like to save money doing work themselves but more importantly they enjoy working on cars. With the newer cars things are changing constantly and the need for updated information to help is high. My employer is actually supportive of my channel completely so far, I believe in helping people with what I know and learn from what everyone else knows. Folks watch some diy videos even if they’re not going to do the job just to understand what’s involved when they pay a mechanic to do a job
    4
  1104. Yes I noticed that and posted it in the comments! Thank you.
    4
  1105. Hi! Different markets will have different recommendations and differently tuned engines. I recommend you adhere by the manufacturers recommendations which came in the owners manual in your car in your country and don’t worry about other countries recommendations. For example did you know that some Toyota engines that use 0w16 in the United States are using 0w8 in other countries? I would stick to the recommendations in your owners manual that came with the car.
    4
  1106. True and most of the time it has to do with the window run channel. A good easy way to isolate it is to use painters tape and tape the part between the glass and the pillar. Then take it for a drive you can isolate the source like this
    4
  1107. So I’ve personally seen 3 cases of the new engine issues 2 caused by wrong oil and the third caused by long oil change intervals than 10k miles. One of the cases were metal debris and complete loss of oil pressure at idle. Another one was flat rod knocking. 3rd was extreme oil sludge and intermittent zero oil pressure. The issues with oil consumption has nothing to do with the weight of the oil. If it did these engines would burn oil from day one. The issues with oil consumption have to do with low tension rings and the need for oil pressure to expand them. Don’t change your oil often or push the limits with a 10k oil change and soon things will start clogging up and you start burning oil. Keep doing this and rings will start seizing and scratch the cylinder walls and now it’s done. That’s why I always say change the oil at 5k and stay on the safe side. A video detailing this with examples is in the works and will come in the future.
    4
  1108. No there’s a procedure to do that which you’ll see on the channel sometime between January or February in the next filming period.
    4
  1109. Almost all Toyota transmissions will shift late when cold and it’s intentional.
    4
  1110. Yes. This car has the engine and transmission computer in one unit
    4
  1111. Hi! By 2022 most of the issues are resolved
    4
  1112. Hi! A 2018+ Camry hybrid is an excellent hybrid with almost no issues honestly.
    4
  1113. Hi! No reason to worry at all. That noise you heard is the charcoal canister pump running it’s self test. It must happen with the car off and has been sitting for a bit. Totally normal and nothing to worry about.
    4
  1114. Hi! This is based on my personal preference not because it’s better. I’d get the xse v6 or an SE 4 cylinder
    4
  1115. And that endless money pit Mercedes picture is actually my money pit 😆 find the build here https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeFzfl0Q8rQWwi5smxkEUrQxFdf3q_ggk
    4
  1116. Hi! I wouldn’t change the transmission fluid at this point if it’s never been replaced before
    4
  1117. For DIY mechanics I’d say 2005-2006 and if not working on it yourself then either 2005-2006 or 2008-2009. The lord bless you as well my brother
    4
  1118. Hi! 2004-2006 has a timing belt. 2007-2010 has a timing chain.
    4
  1119. The issue is actually the threads on the fitting that come apart and pull out of the cooler. The hoses are good and can be reused. The issue happens with oem radiators after being there for 10+ years so by replacing the radiator with either an OEM or quality aftermarket you’re protecting your van from this issue.
    4
  1120. Thank you for watching my channel and congratulations on your sienna purchase!
    4
  1121. Hi! Oil changes every 6 months and perhaps every month take it on the highway if that’s not possible an induction service wouldn’t hurt
    4
  1122. Hi! Honestly for best results I would change it every 6 months
    4
  1123. Hi! Reliability is much better 2014 and up
    4
  1124. On the 2014 I would consider a hybrid. But I also have a lead foot so the V6 is very tempting!
    4
  1125. Hi! Sealer actually works better than gaskets if applied correctly. Gaskets get brittle over time and leak much faster than sealer
    4
  1126. I use a paint marker. If you notice I sprayed it with brake cleaner to clean the oil then use the paint market
    4
  1127. As far as I know you cannot disable the vehicle proximity alert. Regarding the remote start sorry that’s a design limitation and it frustrates me as well. They have to do it where it shuts off due to the smart key system design
    4
  1128. Thank you! B mode video is planned and coming very soon.
    4
  1129. Hi! That’s the brake actuator charging up and it’s normal.
    4
  1130. Hi! Thank you for watching my channel! So on the AC running for a long time in hot weather. Of course that is a load on the AC system however it’s well within its limits to handle. Now repeat that every day for the next 5 years straight and then you might have caused some damage but here and there I wouldn’t worry about it at all.
    4
  1131. That’s a really good hybrid! Congratulations! Keep up the maintenance and you’ll have this car for a long time without issues.
    4
  1132. You can just avoid directing water at electrical connectors
    4
  1133. Hi! Southwest Chicago suburbs. I’ll share exact details once the shop opens
    4
  1134. This one is in exceptional shape. Didn’t lift it in this video as one of my lift hydraulic lines is leaking. Got that fixed already
    4
  1135. Not extremely common and usually goes when the fluid is contaminated
    4
  1136. Yep! This happens all the time unfortunately. With Toyota if it ain’t broke don’t fix it
    4
  1137. Thank you for watching my video! Curious did they replace the struts and springs? Another viewer asked about this and I wanted to know your experience. Thank you for sharing
    4
  1138. Check sway bar links and strut mounts
    4
  1139. Then I wouldn’t worry as there’s no differential or transfer case. Transmission fluid is at 60k using original fluid and you should have no issues.
    4
  1140. Awesome question. So the sight lines will have the Toyota logo embedded on it and you’ll see it. The originals will not have any logo on it. If you’d like you can take a picture of your wiper blades and email it to me and I’ll be able to tell you for sure if they’re the factory ones or not.
    4
  1141. Hi joseph! Yes that’s fine and pretty much the same across all dealerships, the one I work at included. Never had a single issue.
    4
  1142. Hi! I do recommend you replace it. Email me at thecarcarenut@gmail.com with the subject Chicago service request
    4
  1143. Hi! I wouldn’t do an alignment unless you have an issue. If you live in an area with many potholes then perhaps consider an alignment every time you replace tires. Tire rotation are helpful every 6months but you can extend it and do it every 5000 miles
    4
  1144. You got it!
    4
  1145. Hi! That oil is a bit too thick. I’d stick with 75w85 or 80w90 or even 75w80 GL5 from Mobil 1
    4
  1146. Hi! Thank you for watching my video. Any 75w80 or even 80w90 GL5 fluid will do. That’s what We’ve used and never had issues. The red line fluid is GL4 I would see if they have GL5 otherwise any good quality GL5 fluid will do.
    4
  1147. Thank you so much for your comment! To me helping people is the most important objective of this channel! Thank you! Regarding the brake grease, as long as it’s designed to work with brakes and is high temperature grease and is not used in large quantities it should be good. I have a video on tips on replacing brakes with helpful information. Grease is on the 2nd part of that video. Here’s the link https://youtu.be/mwEOP9Tobw8
    4
  1148. Thank you for watching my video and subscribing! It’s in the plans to do a video on rear drum brakes how to do them and recommendations. It will come in the future.
    4
  1149. I would stick with iridium plugs.
    4
  1150. Honestly most products you can buy retail are watered down versions. I would have a shop or dealership clean carbon. The products professionals use often are stronger, more effective and you can’t buy them as a consumer
    4
  1151. Planned and coming in the future
    4
  1152. Thank you!
    4
  1153. Hi Ryan! For the 2018 2GR-FKS it’s every 60k miles. And I plan on making a video specific to the FKS variant once I find a volunteer car to film with.
    4
  1154. Hi! If you don’t live in an area where road salt is used in the winter a brake service is not beneficial honestly. The chassis retightening will be listed in your owners manual
    4
  1155. The 1GR likely is one of the easiest plugs to do on any Toyota v6
    4
  1156. 2017 sienna has iridium but needs it every 60k
    4
  1157. When the issue is very bad it will actually happen every time you start it. Worse when cold but also noticeable when turned off for any amount of time. I would talk away from this one. A good one is 100% quiet regardless of how long it sat
    4
  1158. If you haven’t bought it already I would walk away immediately. Around mid 2009 they fixed that issue but to be safe I’d look at 2010+
    4
  1159. That’s true with older cars. Newer cars has a permanent memory where even codes won’t get erased when you disconnect the battery. One thing that’s not good is to disconnect both terminals and touch them together. That worked in some cases in the past but newer cars that’s a very bad idea
    4
  1160. As of the date of filming this video there’s no alternative solution per Toyota. Once a long term solution is available I will follow up with another video.
    4
  1161. RAV4 prime or Lexus NX450h+ for a stepping stone into EVs or wait for the new bZ4X
    4
  1162. Hi! The same interval as the spark plugs which is 120k miles in your case
    4
  1163. Hi! Yes this was the first replacement. Every 120k on this engine along side the spark plugs
    4
  1164. Hi! No you don’t need to on the case of this engine
    4
  1165. You’re very welcome my brother! Some aftermarket parts are ok but vital ( and cheap) parts like oil filters are not worth going aftermarket in my opinion.
    4
  1166. Hi! Rock auto is good I’ve bought parts from them before. Only issue and something I’d watch for is they have the cheapest quality parts and good quality parts. I’d look carefully and pick good quality parts
    4
  1167. If they seem legit from a reputable source they’re good. But I wouldn’t be surprised if you find counterfeit denso and aisin online as well
    4
  1168. Thank you! I’ll set that up.
    4
  1169. It had to be done Michelle! I wish everyone would get a chance to hold these horrible parts for educational purposes. They are truly horribly made
    4
  1170. Thank you! Happy holidays
    4
  1171. I contemplated adding pay into this video. It varies greatly. Some areas of the country they can make 50k a year which is sad while other areas they are deep into the six figure range
    4
  1172. Thank you! Actually the next video coming up is about EVs
    4
  1173. Look at the sticker on the door jamb. On the upper right corner of that sticker you’ll find the production month and year.
    4
  1174. Usually the ones that leaked they leaked early on and you can easily see it. If you bought one not leaking likely it will be ok for a long time.
    4
  1175. If it’s still intermittent you’re good. Usually it gets so bad that every start up you get rattling and when the gear is about to let go, they develop a very loud ticking noise that’s always there. That’s when I’d get rid of the car or fix it.
    4
  1176. Hi and thank you for watching my video. Here’s a video that goes in depth about hybrid buying tips and information https://youtu.be/3m5j8nJrMc8 on highlanders I think the newest highlander has the gas mileage advantage because it’s a 4 cylinder vs 6 cylinder on the previous generation. If it’s within your budget I’d go with the newest one because of the gas mileage advantage.
    4
  1177. I think both cars are safe. If you don’t need the extra space of the highlander I wouldn’t spend the extra money because of the extra weight.
    4
  1178. The 2017 highlander is an excellent car if taken care of! The transmission issue has extended coverage so no worries there. Take a picture on no1 and email it to me let me take a look. On no2 that’s normal for this car, the pad shifts as you change direction but it’s not a problem. No 3 and no4 seem related perhaps a heat shield that’s touching the exhaust? Or a panel rattling it happens that would need an in person inspection I would check with your trusted mechanic or dealership on that or go under the car and move the exhaust and hit a few plastic panels until you replicate the noise and that’s the source
    4
  1179. On non hybrids it won’t make a difference honestly. Taking it easy and avoiding hard acceleration makes a difference and on highway driving pacing or following a large truck really makes a difference in mileage
    4
  1180. Honestly straight forward. A cab removal sounds invasive and major but it’s not. A few hoses, steering shaft, trans cable, a few connectors and 4-6 bolts and the cab comes off. It was designed to be installed easily for assembly.
    4
  1181. Toyota, Lexus and scion speciality. I’ll take other makes and models on case to case basis for minor things
    4
  1182. Hi! Southwest Chicago suburbs. I’ll share the exact location as we get closer
    4
  1183. Honestly if it’s not rusty it would be worth fixing. These are really good trucks
    4
  1184. I really appreciate your feedback! This is the kind of feedback we need to help us adjust things. I have some lighting but it makes the camera too heavy for Mrs car care nut. We’re looking into other options
    4
  1185. Hi! The 2GR engine is known to have a slight vibration at idle especially in gear. Not an issue I would worry about. On a side note I appreciate every car for its purpose. The sienna minivan was not made to be fast or thrilling. It was made to be the ultimate family hauler and for that purpose it is brilliant.
    4
  1186. Hi! I actually ordered one! This video was filmed a ways back. We’ll see when it shows up
    4
  1187. Don’t you love it when dealerships drop the price like that? Not 475 anyone can stomach 👍
    4
  1188. Hi! I think it’s worth it. A single XREAS failure after the factory warranty will pay for that warranty
    4
  1189. Hi! That’s actually a good video topic suggestion! I’ll add it to the list
    4
  1190. Hi! Thank you for watching my channel. Honestly the extended warranty will depend on the price. Depending on your area you can actually go back to the dealership just before your factory warranty runs out and buy an extended. On your model I’m not worried about big things. It’s the small annoyances that make the extended warranty worth it sometimes. See how much they’d sell you the warranty for and decide from there
    4
  1191. It’s a maintenance reminder that comes on every 5000 miles to remind you to service the car. When was the last oil change?
    4
  1192. That’s a bit high for a short period of time. Honestly with that car and mileage worst case is a bad radio. I’d pass on this one and save your 2500 for repairs which likely in 3 years you’ll have none
    4
  1193. Hi! They used to in the past. No real answer on why they don’t anymore. It doesn’t make sense
    4
  1194. If it’s actually applying the brakes yes they will come on. If it’s just coasting then no.
    4
  1195. That could be normal. A 2015 should have updated parts already and shouldn’t have this issue with good maintenance. If it stays exactly the same and never progresses you should be ok
    4
  1196. This is an issue with design. 2014-2015 and up got updated parts already and won’t have this issue. This issue can happen to the updated parts with heavy neglect on oil changes
    4
  1197. Honestly I would my brother. It’s business as usual. 80% maintenance on the new cars and the warranty stuff is usually for minor things. The RAV4 had a rough start because of the pandemic but things are pretty much the same. They look extremely complicated but just like the olden days, some things were complicated but we never dealt with them because they never broke

  1198. Hi! Honestly this engine seems good so far with examples well over 100k miles seen without a single issue.
    4
  1199. Hi! 2016-2017 Tacoma’s had some of these issues. The later ones seem better so far.
    4
  1200. Maybe 😀 one thing they do very well in BMW land, have a $1.23 O ring cost $1500 in labor to replace. They have a lot of that.
    4
  1201. Hi! It does make a difference especially if you add salt to the mix. Extending it is very simple and doesn’t really affect anything else I would do it
    4
  1202. Hi! You can but it still traps air. I’ll find a good candidate to film a video with
    4
  1203. I’ve had the displeasure of taking a dash out on a benz. As expensive as they are once you start peeling things back. Very brittle and cheap plastic on their interiors. Toyota interior look cheaper but they’re actually much better made at least in my experience
    4
  1204. Hi! Usually it was not applied well and starts peeling off after a few years. I would fluid film it
    4
  1205. Hi! I would change the coolant between now and 100k and spark plugs at 120k. Valves don’t need cleaning with good maintenance and high mileage driving
    4
  1206. Some do some don’t but most that do sublet it to another company
    4
  1207. Hi! Thank you for watching! I wouldn’t replace the transmission filter in Toyota transmissions. If you change the fluid on time every 60k or 6 years you don’t have to worry about the filter
    4
  1208. Thank you! The Toyota sealed transmission how to video is in the works. You should see it in the coming weeks
    4
  1209. Hi! At this mileage and age I would leave it alone honestly
    4
  1210. Hi! Congratulations on your purchase! Hybrids has a different kind of cvt transmission so they use WS ATF. Here’s a video that will clarify. https://youtu.be/u15wHYuEFmU
    4
  1211. Hi! On your hybrid transmission I would replace the fluid every 60-90k miles using only Toyota WS ATF
    4
  1212. Hi Doug. Normally drain the radiator and block in models with a drain and refill and bleed. Unless there’s contamination there’s no reason to flush things.
    4
  1213. So coolant expands with heat. When the coolant is hot it takes up more space and when it’s cold it takes less space. So if you fill it to full when it’s cold, when the engine warms up it could actually overfill and come out of the overflow and make a mess. That’s why all cars have an expansion bottle with minimum and maximum as long as your coolant level is in between you’re good.
    4
  1214. Hi! I would change the coolant. You’ll need 1 gallon and a bit so you’ll need 2 gallons handy and you’ll have some extra. The transmission fluid a drain and fill is sufficient, no need to drop the pan. You’ll need around 4 quarts to be on the safe side
    4
  1215. Thank you!
    4
  1216. It does and it helps slightly with acceleration
    4
  1217. Hi! If you drive it twice a week it shouldn’t be an issue.
    4
  1218. Hi! I would change it every 100k kms using original fluid. No need to replace the filter though
    4
  1219. Hi! There no need to reset the transmission memory after this. Usually the transmission memory is reset when there’s shifting issues delayed or abnormal shifts in some models. Toyota Trucks don’t really have issues requiring a frequent memory reset.
    4
  1220. The idea behind a single drain and fill is replace some of the fluid. Enough to renew the additive package to keep things protected. Doing it multiple times is not recommended because overdoing it is also not good as excess new fluid on transmissions with mileage could cause shifting issues. A flush with high mileage transmissions introduces too much new fluid with cleaning additives that now could affect the clutches negatively
    4
  1221. Hi! That works if the fluid level was correct to begin with. I would do the job right and check the fluid level though
    4
  1222. Hi! I see many people drain the fluid then add the same amount and call it a day. That is exactly the reason why they removed dipsticks and unfortunately it didn’t work because people still want to do half the job to make it easier for them. Even when there was dipsticks it was very common to have cars come in under warranty with transmission leaks because the fluid is way overfilled from a diy fluid replacement.
    4
  1223. Hi! That is an option that can be changed. Try going to vehicle settings in the radio and customizations and you can change it. If not the dealership can change this option for you.
    4
  1224. Emissions.
    4
  1225. It simply gets pushed out when the injectors open. Really there are no problems with air pockets in fuel rails in return less systems
    4
  1226. Ha! I was waiting for someone to notice! Well it’s been freezing weather in Chicago and my small heater in the garage was not cutting it. Filming in below freezing temps is not fun so I filmed in my basement. But as of today a new much MUCH bigger heater is installed in the garage and we’ll resume filming in the garage at 70 degrees 😀 more info on the heater coming
    4
  1227. Hi matt! I looked into this and so far there’s no information from Toyota to integrate the digital key.
    4
  1228. Hi! Dealerships typically are fair when it comes to trade in unless the car has significant issues. You will get a higher price for the car if you sell it privately but it’s also a hassle and considering the trade in tax benefit it might not be worth your time or effort. I don’t know how things work in Canada but if you have car max or carvana get a quote from them and use it as comparison.
    4
  1229. It’s ok. That is not too bad compared to some prices we’re seeing.
    4
  1230. Hi! Reliability and practicality the corolla. If you are very much into driving experience the 86 will do better but will be terrible for comfort and practicality and reliability is less than the corolla
    4
  1231. You’ll see a video on it very soon
    4
  1232. Hi! Thank you for watching my channel! So the filter behind the vent on your Camry requires the seat bolster to come out to get cleaned or replaced. I’m trying to find a similar model to film with in the Chicago area. So you’d want to clean that filter or replace it when it starts showing signs of getting clogged. On the inverter coolant first replacement is at 100k miles or 5 years then every 50k or 5 years afterwards.
    4
  1233. You’re welcome!
    4
  1234. That one is tough because these models are too new and although they already have some common trends but more things can come out as they get a bit older. I am planning to do a small video with the current issues and update it with time. Thank you for your suggestion!
    4
  1235. Hi Ahmad! Hope you’re doing well. They are designed to shift on the fly. They can switch up to 62 mph but personally I wouldn’t at higher speeds maybe up to 30 mph
    4
  1236. Catch up on the rest of the series here! https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeFzfl0Q8rQWEfqiaOGG3wzXKNughcpzi
    4
  1237. We are heading towards that. But we gotta get some body work done first then it’s back to Chicago Auto Pros for an exterior detail
    4
  1238. I cannot confirm nor deny this 😂
    4
  1239. We’ll break down the costs in a later video for everyone to know
    4
  1240. Hi! They’re not labeled unfortunately. The only access cover that can easily be taken out is for the oil filter and drain plug
    4
  1241. Thank you for watching my video! I still work for a Toyota dealership today and don’t plan to leave anytime soon as I love what I do for a living 😀
    4
  1242. It should be cleaned and replaced regularly as well. The DC/DC converter is not a cheap part if it fails from overheating
    4
  1243. Honestly trial and error. Get to know them and see their work quality
    4
  1244. Hi! Ask them for your old parts and they should comply and if they don’t that’s a red flag. Unless it’s a warranty repair or extended warranty repair they should be able to give you your old parts
    4
  1245. Hi! They handle similar with the ES being smoother and quieter
    4
  1246. Most of Toyota crossovers are good. Some of the older ones you want to watch out as finding one in good shape gets harder. Highlander is usually a very good one to buy alongside the RAV4 but this very good car can easily turn into a nightmare if you buy one that’s neglected because it’s a Toyota. I would focus more on inspecting the car before buying it above all with Toyota
    4
  1247. Hi! 2016-2018
    4
  1248. Hi! Thank you for watching. I would recommend it with good service history as the 4 cylinder engine is known to burn oil if not maintained. The V6 is a good option as well
    4
  1249. The new RAV4 has been the best one for the 8 speed transmission. It does shift odd but that’s not a problem it’s just the way it is with so many gears. Review and common problems for 2019+ RAV4 is coming up soon hopefully in the next month
    4
  1250. Hi! Depends on the intensity. This transmission does tend to have a tiny bit of vibration which is normal in that specific condition but if the dealership felt it and said it’s normal then likely it is. So the question is did you drive with the technician and show them the condition?
    4
  1251. Hi! The 2013 and up engine is updated. The 2013+ would be better
    4
  1252. They are good cars. Have many of the same things as the 14-19 highlander. If it was well maintained and taken care of it would be a good used car to buy
    4
  1253. I don’t know about honda but a 2021 RAV4 especially hybrid or prime is a very good car to buy
    4
  1254. Hi! Honestly they are both equal when it comes to off road. They’re both not an off roader like a 4runner but they can handle some rough roads better than a non AWD car. I would look at them from price and size comparison and see what fits your needs
    4
  1255. I wouldn’t want to find out honestly. No published information on this.
    4
  1256. Just a drain and fill.
    4
  1257. I am looking into the blue driver and possibly compare it to Carista. I think Carista if they ever update it to view live data it would really be the ultimate tool.
    4
  1258. Hi! Thank you! I would still consider rust proofing if you live in the rust belt. Even though they are covered and made better but still it would help
    4
  1259. Hi! The heat pump system works to 14 F then it forces the engine on.
    4
  1260. Thank you so much my brother!
    4
  1261. Video coming up in the near future on this. I have no concerns with the ones built in Mexico.
    4
  1262. Hi! That is very superficial rust that I wouldn’t worry about but would get it covered so as time passes it won’t grow into real rust.
    4
  1263. Thank you for watching! Happens all the time where you forget something and walk away from the job for a bit and come back and everything works great!
    4
  1264. This is a really nice car! White interior+mechanic don’t get along very well lol. And for the cake my favorite! Chocolate cake from Costco
    4
  1265. They’re both reliable and will last but the naturally aspirated v8 will have less issues with time
    4
  1266. The ones I pulled has 97k but consistently I pull the 120k ones and they look about the same. They really do last 120k. If doing it yourself it wouldn’t hurt to replace them earlier.
    4
  1267. I would replace them with a warm engine not too hot. A warm engine will help get the plugs out easier.
    4
  1268. That’s also a good method. On Toyota v6 you’d need a joint spark plug socket which is similar to the one I used in this video.
    4
  1269. Hi! The idea of the dialectic grease is to make the spark plug coil removal easier and make better connection between the spark plug and coil or at least that’s the idea. Wouldn’t hurt to add some but if you add a lot you could cause issues.
    4
  1270. Hi! So the best spark plug is the original one from the dealership. On your rav4 the replacement is 120k miles and symptoms of bad spark plugs are misfires or general rough running
    4
  1271. Hi! Ideally a warm engine is better. Not too hot not too cold.
    4
  1272. On iridium plugs you shouldn’t check the gaps as you could damage the tip.
    4
  1273. I would invest in a torque wrench. And on valve cover gaskets always buy an original gasket. I’ve seen a lot of issues with aftermarket gaskets on the 1zz especially the blue ones.
    4
  1274. Hi! If you are buying it from a dealership it is an updated bundle which will tell the parts person that the washers are mandatory with the new updated part. Unless the parts person doesn’t know how to do their job they will give you the washers with
    4
  1275. Hi! That’s ok on the fluid level. Doing it on ramps can give you an incorrect level. Try to get jack stands and a jack and lift the car level
    4
  1276. Hi! I would fill it until it overflows
    4
  1277. Glad I could help! This is why I made this channel to help people. Have a wonderful day and thank you for watching my videos.
    4
  1278. That’s why a test is the only true way to tell. I often see mechanics recommend fluid replacement based on color. A test is the true indication of moisture content.
    4
  1279. Hi Toby! Thank you for watching my videos. Regarding the brake fluid I would invest in a brake fluid tested which checks for moisture content. However on average replacement every 3 years is around when the moisture content is high enough to justify replacement.
    4
  1280. So changing brake pads on hybrids is normal as a gasoline car. Anything to do with opening the hydraulic circuit is where things are different. If the hybrid system fails, the car will enter into a “limp mode” or a failsafe mode where it will no longer charge or discharge the battery and it will solely use the engine to drive the car which will have very limited performance. If the engine fails the hybrid system will drive the car with mg2 until the battery charge gets low and it will shut down completely. You cannot turn a hybrid car into a gasoline only. In the fail safe mode the car is very limited in performance and it’s really not drivable for long term.
    4
  1281. Thank you for watching my videos and subscribing! Nice fleet of hybrids you got there!
    4
  1282. Thank you for watching my video! So the foot brake is the parking brake. That one is mechanical and can be used at any time and that’s connected by cable.
    4
  1283. Hi! Thank you for watching my videos. Just switch from D to B without issues. Once the road straightened out go back to D and you should have no issues.
    4
  1284. Hi! Should be around 25-30 ft lbs
    4
  1285. Hi chad! You bring a very interesting question which I’m dreading making a video about. I agree that Japanese built cars were made better in the 1990s and early to mid 2000s but today they’re all the same. And people go the extra length to get that Japanese build car today and it really makes no difference. I invite everyone when the pandemic is over to go to a close by Toyota factory and take a tour which they offer in most factories so you can see the level of precision and dedication put into making these cars. I personally have been and know folks who work at the Kentucky and Indiana plants and they take pride in what they do to produce the highest quality Toyota’s possible.
    4
  1286. Hi! Lexus owners do bring their cars to Toyota dealerships. Some dealership won’t service them, others do. They’re really exactly the same
    4
  1287. The 10mm socket..... always not there when you need it
    4
  1288. Hi! Many things could affect the mileage. Starting with your driving and speeds you’re driving at. If the weather is cold that also affects your mileage. Other things are sticky brakes and tires
    4
  1289. Hi! Eventually things will give out and start leaking but with toyota that takes longer than 11 years. On fluids and maintenance you’d want to switch to time based maintenance rather than mileage
    4
  1290. Thank you! I wouldn’t replace the water pump unless it has a problem. If it’s leaking or making noise then replace it. If it’s good I would keep going and not worry.
    4
  1291. Hi! I would check a couple common things. One is the rear shocks, second is the sway bar links as they are notorious to break. Another thing is to check the suspension in general and also tire condition and go from there.
    4
  1292. Hi Tom! Hard to put it in a year range it depends when the model generation came out. For example your highlander generation started in 2014 so it has the 3rd generation hybrid system and carried it all the way to 2019. 2020 and up with is a new generation has the 4th generation hybrid
    4
  1293. Hi! I plan another video in the future exclusively to hybrids
    4
  1294. Hi labeeb! I didn’t include hybrids on purpose. In the near future I’ll make a similar video for hybrids specifically where we’ll break down the Prius line up. Your Prius C will be on that list I can tell you that!
    4
  1295. Hi’ honestly at this mileage it’s a guess but if it’s been taken care of I would keep up the basic maintenance and have it inspected very well due to mileage to make sure nothing was missed
    4
  1296. We’re dwindling with around 4 new cars on the lot. Many people initially thought were going out of business
    4
  1297. Hi Marjan! I did skip it on purpose as I plan a similar video for hybrids hopefully in the near future
    4
  1298. Hi! A separate video for hybrids which will cover Prius models will come in the futur
    4
  1299. Hi! You’d want to clean the surface well for the flex gasket. Sometimes they’ll leave an imprint on the surface which would prevent them from sealing. If cleaning is unsuccessful a small amount of muffler cement helps seal it
    4
  1300. Hi! It is exactly the same. Still have to remove the front under panel to drain the coolant and fill the exact same way
    4
  1301. Hi! That car had just over 60k if memory serves right. On toyota models if you plan to keep it long every 50k or 5 years is ifeal
    4
  1302. Hi! If it’s a long stop it might make sense but if it’s moving every minute or so it’s not worth it
    4
  1303. 😂
    4
  1304. Hi! No the automatic parking brake applies it on time
    4
  1305. It’s not a myth. You shouldn’t shift gears before coming to a complete stop
    4
  1306. Until I film the one for manual transmissions 😂 😉
    4
  1307. Hi! Yes this absolutely applies to your rav4 V6 only difference is the reservoir on the side. Use the spill free funnel without any adapters and it will fit the neck of the reservoir. And do the same thing with the bleeder hose and rpm
    4
  1308. Hi! Honestly they’re hard to get to and you’ll only drain a small amount. I wouldn’t worry about them and change what’s in the radiator and the hoses
    4
  1309. You could but then you run the risk of damaging the hoses as they tend to get brittle. I wouldn’t disturb hoses just to drain the coolant. The coolant you drain normally is enough to keep things protected
    4
  1310. Hi! Usually most toyotas will take 1-2 gallons some will just go over. The engine drain plug drains a bit more but at the risk of breaking the drain as they can seize and usually placed in the worst location
    4
  1311. Hi! The heater doesn’t need to be turned on. Coolant circulates all the time in the heater core on cars with this engine so turning the heater on will only prolong the bleeding process and not add anything to it
    4
  1312. Hi! The temperature doesn’t matter while it’s off. You’d want the heat on when the car has a heat valve but this engine didn’t come with a heat valve
    4
  1313. Very good company indeed! Thank you Stephen!
    4
  1314. I am close to securing a 2019+ still looking for 16-18
    4
  1315. That’s planned and coming in the future!
    4
  1316. Hi! That is correct. If you replace the fluid on time you don’t need to replace the filter. Which in your case you are replacing it at a correct interval so you don’t need to replace the filter
    4
  1317. Hi! If majority of your driving is highway and very rarely if ever have short trips then you do qualify for it
    4
  1318. Hi! Don’t worry everything is good.
    4
  1319. None taken! I speak Arabic and Spanish in addition to English
    4
  1320. I looked through the data and it looks like 2020 model had the nickel metal battery and 2021 had both options. The nickel metal battery is 201.6 volts and 6.5Ah and the lithium ion is 207.2 volts and 4 Ah. Retrofitting is likely not an option as it involves a whole new control system and the cost will not be worth it. Don’t worry about your battery, in 15 years with good maintenance you’ll remember me saying your battery is good.
    4
  1321. Any trickle charger will do the job good really. I’m not too concerned about the 12v battery I would consider driving it every month for a few days to keep things moving.
    4
  1322. Pry it gently and it should pop off. It’ll make a noise like it broke but it has clips that need to pop off to remove.
    4
  1323. Well any car regardless if it’s hybrid or not is the same in this regard. By idling very long you will stress the ac system. Because there will be no air flow across the condenser in the front. If the weather is very hot it will be worse.
    4
  1324. Ok that’s a good tire. Try to have the heater off for a few days and see if it makes a difference could be cause it’s running the engine more to keep the heat going.
    4
  1325. Hi! The highlander video session was supposed to follow but due to availability it got pushed back in mid July. 80-85 is a bit on the high side and could affect efficiency but won’t cause harm
    4
  1326. It’s located on the back seat drivers side between the door and the back of the back seat you’ll see a vent. It does have a serviceable filter. Either clean it or replace it. Some of them didn’t come with one if that’s the case install one
    4
  1327. That is one scenario to use it or in slow traffic
    4
  1328. Just to clarify there’s no 2005 Camry hybrid. Is this a 2005 Camry non hybrid or perhaps a 2007 Camry hybrid? Big difference between hybrid and non hybrid
    4
  1329. flagmichael thank you! Some people don’t like hybrids. I think for how complicated they are they are super reliable. When you go into the technical details of how they work it sounds like too many disasters ready to happen and ruin the owners day but fast forward 20 years later and they have proven to be some of the most reliable cars money can buy if taken care of properly! I am in the early stages of planning a 2nd part of this video. I will add your recommendation to the list! Thank you!
    4
  1330. Thank you! I plan to make a lot of Toyota videos especially hybrids!
    4
  1331. I would actually keep track of the last time you filled up with gas if you see yourself using electric only for majority of the time. If you’re approaching 3 months on the same tank. I wouldn’t charge it and let it go into hybrid mode and use the fuel and fill it again to refresh the fuel
    4
  1332. we’ve seen some issues with the Prius prime and I am sure we’ll have the same issues with the rav4 prime. We’ve had gas going stale already! Customers are using them in electric only for a long time that they never use the gasoline engine and recently I’ve seen one go almost 1 year on the same fuel fillup. If you drive highway and will exceed the ev charge then you’re good. You want to always refresh the gas
    4
  1333. Hi! It wouldn’t be a bad idea to that at this point
    4
  1334. starshooter1003 congratulations on your Rav4 prime purchase! Regarding the charging you’d want to set your departure time on the car. Once you set it, you’ll get home and plug it and forget it. The on board computer will figure out how much charge is needed and it will actually start charging at a specific time so by 9am it have just reached full charge and you’ll take it out and start depleting the battery. That way your stop at work you’re leaving the battery at less than full and by the time you get home the battery is less than 50%. I think if you set your departure time at 9am you are doing everything to prolong the life of the battery as much as possible. Also remember life changes and your departure time will change of course. Don’t worry too much if occasionally you’ll leave the car fully charged and not driven. It’s going to happen here and there. The idea here is as much as possible utilize the charge schedule. But it’s not going to harm the battery immediately if you miss it here and there. Regarding the gasoline I think having non ethanol gas is good for every car especially your prime. The stabilizer might help but the occasional HV drive will get that gas down in a good amount of time. Hope this helps and thank you for watching my video.
    4
  1335. Thank you for watching my video Kurt. There could be value in fuel stabilizers but honestly I would run the engine from time to time. Not just for the gas for the engine itself as well.
    4
  1336. OttKnot2Dew actually the PHEV cars Toyota makes are one of the best if not the best on the market. No product is perfect because it’s made by imperfect humans. Perhaps this issue will be corrected by a product software update. And the solution is really simple as well.
    4
  1337. Yyes basically new suspension parts mainly struts and springs but I don't know if it's worth it cost wise. I would drive a 2016-2018 yourself and see if you like the difference and perhaps consider trading up.
    4
  1338. The stiffer ride is due to its design. They wanted to make it more athletic.
    4
  1339. In terms of reliability they’re pretty equal honestly. Personally I’d go with the Avalon as it drives nicer and has more room.
    4
  1340. Hi! Thank you for watching my channel! They’re both very similar cars with the Avalon being slightly cheaper and might feel less luxurious than the Lexus but in reality they are exactly the same car underneath.
    4
  1341. That is true. The 16-18 is much smoother. They changed the springs and struts.
    4
  1342. I’m working on getting a car to film with. Once I get one you’ll see a video on it
    4
  1343. I think that’s good mileage. I would focus more on the condition of the car and the maintenance history.
    4
  1344. So the 2013-2015 had somewhat of rough suspension. The 2016-2018 was very improved. Likely the 2016-2018 will be more comparable in terms of ride quality to the es350. But honestly these 2 are basically the same car.
    4
  1345. Thank you! They’re identical and built on the same platform with the same powertrain.

  1346. I really like the new Avalon. They’re not for everyone with their interesting design both inside and out. They’re very stable and smooth compared to previous models. The 8 speed transmission is odd if buying a non hybrid, I would make sure you focus on it in the test drive. If buying hybrids they’re pretty cool. I absolutely dislike the AWD mode with the 4 cylinder. They’re very slow and unlike the hybrid which has the help of the electric motors this one is heavier and slower.
    4
  1347. Hi! I think they are good cars. I haven’t really seen many issues with them. Small odds and ends usually related to the connected services but nothing major at all.
    4
  1348. Hi! Honestly this one is a tough one. Are you sure that the axle seal was leaking to begin with? Or was the transmission case seal was? Is this transmission overfilled with fluid by any chance? I would definitely get another opinion. Taking apart the hybrid transmission is not a walk in the park and requires a specialist and even then it’s a risky operation honestly. I would get the dealership involved and see what they can do or at least find another mechanic who’s dealt with this kind of work at least to diagnose it
    4
  1349. Filming one soon.
    4
  1350. The 4 liter V6 rarely had this issue.
    4
  1351. Some of these has some ticking noise that’s normal. Not to be confused with the vvti gear tick
    4
  1352. Hi! I do. Email with the subject Chicago service request
    4
  1353. Thank you for watching my video! So on your Camry hybrid it’s even easier to do the transmission service and is different than this one in the video. So on your hybrid there will be 2 plugs on the passenger side of the transmission with a 10mm hex. The one that’s higher is the fill and the one that’s lower is the drain. Take them both off. Let the oil drain then fill it from the fill plug until it overflows. Wait for it to stop dripping and you’re good to go. Make sure the car is level and that you use Toyota ATF WS likely you will need around 4 quarts I would have 5 at hand just in case
    4
  1354. WS fluid is a bit dark naturally. Even the ones with low miles that I drained they always had darker fluid.
    4
  1355. Hi! No hybrid transmissions are different. Video coming on that very soon
    4
  1356. Hi! You can but how do you know the fluid level was right to begin with? I would just check it
    4
  1357. Hi! You can do the fluid changes at 30k without issues
    4
  1358. Hi! Don’t rev the car. Just switch back and forth and when the light comes on solid remove the jumper and put the car in park
    4
  1359. After you got the light to come on for 2 seconds and you remove the jumper put the car in park.
    4
  1360. Drain a very small sample and look at it. If it’s dark bit smells like transmission fluid you’re good to do a single drain and fill. If it has a burnt smell I would leave it alone
    4
  1361. You’re very welcome! Glad I could help
    4
  1362. Hi! It’s possible that it was overfilled. But no way to know until you check the fluid level which I highly encourage you to do
    4
  1363. The lithium ion batteries are relatively new to the Toyota hybrid world so I can’t for sure say that last more or less. But they have some advantages over the nickel metal that would make the time they last better. Video is planned on difference and will come in the future.
    4
  1364. No anti seize if you torque them to spec. Dialectic grease is ok but in very very small amounts and personally I wouldn’t as they come out without issues.
    4
  1365. Hi labeeb honestly torque wrenches is a conversation of it’s own. Gear wrench does make good torque wrenches but you have to make sure to loosen it when not in use otherwise it comes highly inaccurate quick. 3/8” for spark plugs 1/2” for tires. You can use a 3/8” for tires as well. Just make sure the one you get goes from 10-100 ft lbs
    4
  1366. Good question. I’m not really sure I’ll ask them next time they’re in for service
    4
  1367. Hi! 35 wouldn’t hurt and could actually help the tires last a bit longer without compromising safety or ride quality
    4
  1368. I keep all parts until the car is picked up and customer doesn’t want them. It’s actually very simple that way. I encourage people to at least look at their old parts and ask any questions they have
    4
  1369. Very true
    4
  1370. You don’t really need a professional to do the install. It’s not difficult at all. Watch as many youtube installation videos as you find and go for it. It’s not hard
    4
  1371. Hi! Different regions will have different accessories but also some regions will take aftermarket accessories and market them as Toyota accessories and they would be super overpriced for something not original
    4
  1372. Honestly I doubt that they’ll change much. Maybe different engine but that’s about it as the 4Runner is a solid seller for the body on frame construction
    4
  1373. Any undercoating solution will really work but it would have to be renewed every year or couple of years to guarantee protection. Also make sure that the frame is coated not the body
    4
  1374. It’s a solid truck. Most of these issues if there will surface early. The idea of this video is not to go buy one out of warranty sight unseen without even inspecting it just because it’s a 4Runner
    4
  1375. Hi! I recommend that based on experience of how the 10k oil changes engines have faired as they got older and added miles. Also if you read the fine prints in your owners manual there’s a lot of conditions that would switch you into severe service which would require the 5k oil changes. It’s really your call as an owner on that one but as a professional mechanic working exclusively on Toyota I highly encourage you to change the engine oil every 5k or 6 months.
    4
  1376. Hi! Thank you for watching my video! So on the door. How’s the weather outside when it happens?
    4
  1377. Thank you for watching my video! 2 Tacoma videos are planned on the next round starting up soon. The 05-15 and 16-20
    4
  1378. Land cruisers are awesome! They’re very reliable and well made however they don’t fare very well with rust so be careful buying older ones. I’d take a clean land cruiser over a 4Runner but I think finding a good land cruiser that’s in good shape and doesn’t have bad rust or 300k miles is harder than finding a decent runner for 35k. You have a very good budget I wouldn’t rush. You’ll find something suitable for you either a runner or a land cruiser.
    4
  1379. Hi! Sequoias are awesome in my opinion. They are reliable but they are terrible on gas, expensive to buy and too old feeling. They haven’t been truly updated since 2008 so they feel a bit old. They are somewhat similar to 4runners just bigger and with a bigger engine. And like the 4Runner they are good because they haven’t really changed much in a long time.
    4
  1380. Honestly with Toyota they usually work out their first year problems closer to the end of that first year. Usually they’re very rapid about investigating and remedy for issues.
    4
  1381. That’s a very good question. The 4Runner is awesome but realistically the highlander could make a better family car. The 4Runner is more utilitarian and feels like it. The highlander is more family friendly with more convenience features. They are both great options. The 4Runner is higher and feels different driving wise. I would have your wife drive both. She might like the higher sitting position of the 4Runner and the overall tank feel. Or she also could like the car like feel of the highlander. Tough choice on this one and I totally hear your reasons for wanting the 4Runner and agree with them.
    4
  1382. Hi! In an essence it’s doing the same thing
    4
  1383. Hi! Honestly at this mileage there’s a risk of issues after replacing it. I would leave it alone
    4
  1384. Hi! Yes, just take it easy on the drive avoid hard acceleration and if possible try to vary your speeds. Also to have full piece of mind consider a break in oil change at 1000 miles.
    4
  1385. No, Illinois
    4
  1386. Hi Rick! Thank you for watching my videos! So that’s a common thing where the dealership needs it to be dripping and it’s by instruction from Toyota. I would bring it up again in a few months and speak to the manager and show him the leak and tell him your warranty expires in December. That usually gets the wheels moving to get it fixed.
    4
  1387. Hi! I would extend the hose! It won’t get clogged but it won’t drain on the frame anymore
    4
  1388. It should be the same if you have the original wiper blades.
    4
  1389. Don’t even think about it! Many people were hopeless about this issues but the repair is simple and successful. Any issues in the future always get fixed with toyotas.
    4
  1390. Hi! Honestly and sorry to say this, any cars catalytic converter is easy to steal. They’re not covered because they generate a lot of heat and they’re always under the car. Best option is to look into products for catalytic converter shielding or protection to prevent theft
    4
  1391. That is a correct assumption. Most of the issues are resolved
    4
  1392. You 100% have an issue and there's a fix for it. Perhaps try another dealership?
    4
  1393. Thank you!
    4
  1394. Hi! The dealer installed hitch will be the highest quality one with the best fit however it will also be the most expensive. Some modification is required for the RAV4 hitch. If you can find an aftermarket one that doesn’t require modification then it would be better
    4
  1395. Hi! Thank you for watching my video! Thank you for your video topic suggestion. As far as it affecting the life of the engine the opinions are split on this one. Time will tell honestly.
    4
  1396. Hi! So the rx450h will need likely more than 2 gallons as it has a larger radiator on the engine side. The inverter will take slightly more but still not a lot. I would have 3 gallons for that one.
    4
  1397. Hi! Curious as that’s too new. No harm in doing it early. It’s every 5 years and the first mileage interval is 100k then every 50k after that
    4
  1398. You’re right! It’s on the list of video ideas!
    4
  1399. Hi! I would top it off to the full line and after some time check it again. If it doesn’t drop you’re good.
    4
  1400. Hi! It’s recommended to change it the first time at 100k miles or 5 years then after the first replacement every 50k miles or 5 years
    4
  1401. You’ll want to check the flow in the reservoir as the engine is idling. Also use a stethoscope to listen to the water pump.
    4
  1402. Hi! Is your water pump running?
    4
  1403. It was all the way to bottom of the oil pan dripping on the floor. Customer had mentioned it a year prior but the extended warranty wanted to clean it and add oil dye which we did. Didn’t see the car until another year have passed and very little miles driven (around 2k miles)
    4
  1404. This was extended warranty. It paid around 16 hours took a day
    4
  1405. Hi! Hard to tell how to prevent it honestly. Some of them leak early and some go 200k miles without any leaks. On the engine bay I spray it with water and soap agitate everything with a brush then spray it with water and dry it with compressed air
    4
  1406. Hi! Every 60k miles or 6 years is ideal
    4
  1407. The labor time is around 15-16 and it took about a day
    4
  1408. Hi! Around 8-10 hours
    4
  1409. I do have a few pictures here and there from other cars missed it on this one.
    4
  1410. On the 4runner premium is not required. Different tuning than the FJ
    4
  1411. Hi! That engine can get a bit loud at times and it’s a normal characteristic
    4
  1412. Hi! I would leave it alone at this mileage
    4
  1413. Hi! Officially emissions
    4
  1414. Hi! It was not there by miles but I replaced anyway for the video.
    4
  1415. Hi! They could vary slightly between the models that’s why I didn’t list them. Enter your vin number at parts.Toyota.com to get them correct
    4
  1416. Hi! So I plan in the future to make a video on lifting points for various Toyota models. I wouldn’t use wood to lift a car. Rubber pads are much safer if needed. I did do a review on the quick jack long ago here’s a link for that https://youtu.be/XWx9NAXzS8w There’s no difference or advantage to removing the filter first or the drain plug. You can do it in any order. There’s no measurable advantage in using magnetic drain plugs. A healthy engine wouldn’t have a damaging amount of metal floating with the oil to be concerned about unlike say a differential.
    4
  1417. That’s a very good question. A valid service record for warranty purposes needs to be a place of business receipt that clearly shows date, vin number, mileage and parts used. Doesn’t have to be a dealership but has to be a place of business with the above information on it. And they will require maintenance records only if there’s an issue that could be caused by lack of maintenance. For example if something happens with the suspension they will not ask you for oil change records because it’s irrelevant to the issue at hand
    4
  1418. Thank you for watching my video Alex! Agreed. No one will take care of your car like you do!
    4
  1419. Hi! So that funnel is made by snap on for a ridiculous price but you can buy a similar funnel from Amazon for 1/10 the price here’s a link https://www.amazon.com/dp/B016FVJUX0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_mSmcGb8CRNN24
    4
  1420. That’s a general term but usually refers to lubricate the driveshaft on models equipped.
    4
  1421. James because I am a professional mechanic you get used to torque values by hand for small non moving non structural bolts.
    4
  1422. Typically that's the spot the piston is going straight up or down without sideway motion, hope this makes sense. it's because the rings are seized.
    4
  1423. Honestly Time seems to do more harm to oil than good mileage. Cars that are not driven often tend to be driven short distances and that's what starts problems with oils. Better quality oils will fare better with that kind of conditions but then you're spending more for oil that lasts longer but not getting the same results as just changing it every 6 months and not having to wonder if everything is good or not.
    4
  1424. Drive it till it drops is what he decided. Wants to make it to 200k. I hope it does
    4
  1425. Most people assume codes are what mechanics read and replace the “part” that the code says. That is not the case as you’ll see with this series
    4
  1426. Hi! Timing belts make the engine quiet but timing chains last a lot longer than belts and chains for the most part is maintenance free so that’s one less expensive maintenance item that you have to deal with.
    4
  1427. Honestly I like the current technology better than the past. Once you understand how things work, and spend some time getting familiar hands on they’re not that bad. You just have to have a clear mind and think logically when diagnosing. You’d be surprised how many mechanics don’t even know how things work in great detail.
    4
  1428. Hi’ use it as much as you need. Personally I use it when driving in a low speed limit street or when pulling in and out of my home garage.
    4
  1429. Hi! For towing the hybrid model might be a bit underpowered. Likely stick with the v6 models. But the hybrid for daily driving the gas mileage is great
    4
  1430. Hi! Hybrid batteries typically don’t die completely. They get weak cells. So they can still start the engine but won’t be able to handle the drive load well. So it will run the engine all the time and have limited power
    4
  1431. Honestly I would be on the cautious side with a clone cable. If it doesn’t work it could wipe out the computer permanently.
    4
  1432. Hi! From my experience cleaning the intake is very time consuming and is not guaranteed to work.
    4
  1433. Hi! They are all good except the rusty ones. If it’s not rusty they are all good
    4
  1434. Hi! Yes that’s one of the things that accelerate it
    4
  1435. Honestly John if the EGR repair is done correctly including the software update and the updated valve you shouldn’t expect it to carbon up again as the logic was modified to prevent it from clogging up. Thanks for the video suggestion!
    4
  1436. Hi! A similar Tacoma video is coming out this Saturday
    4
  1437. Hi! I plan to make a video in the future on this.
    4
  1438. Thank you for watching my video Felipe. Please don’t take offense to what I will say as I say it in love and respect. I truly don’t believe in speculations and I like real results from the real world, so far I have seen some high mileage 2019 models and haven’t seen a single issue with the transmissions. So if Toyota removed the cooler and the transmission still last the same amount of time then what’s the issue?
    4
  1439. Thank you for your comment. I tell things as they are and as I see working on these cars and trucks everyday. If there was a similar video for other manufacturers it would be a much longer video and would have many more issues. The tundra is a very good truck to buy, however it’s also a machine made by imperfect humans and will eventually have its issues. Not everyone will have issues but some will. Have a nice day.
    4
  1440. Nice! Would love a picture of the odometer for the high mileage picture collection if you can!
    4
  1441. 😂 I’ll take your over stock too! After driving this demo truck for the video it sparked my interest! I’ll wait for good deals when the new one comes out
    4
  1442. Hi! As a last resort contact toyota and see if they can help
    4
  1443. Thank you for watching my video. I’d say both are reliable with the 2013 edging forward a bit. No hydraulic power steering to leak and less complicated to work on than the v6.
    4
  1444. I would keep that 2004. At $2000 it’s a lot of car and if you’ve had it for long I wouldn’t be in a hurry to sell it.
    4
  1445. It will surprise you how long it lasts. Keep up the maintenance and you’ll easily see 200-300k
    4
  1446. I would look into either getting if fixed or getting out of the car. A small tip to lower the cost is to look for the kit that Toyota supplies for the campaign it’s actually cheaper than just buying a torque converter off of the parts catalog. And it comes with all the parts needed minus axle nuts and fluid
    4
  1447. I hope so as well. For some reason some of them were problem free. It also depends on your phone and your use of the radio.
    4
  1448. Hybrids don’t have the same transmission. Actually hybrids don’t have a torque converter. It would be something else. If it’s consistent at a specific speed likely it’s wheel/tire related
    4
  1449. Hi! I don’t really know prices for individual cars and that also depends on your area. Generally I’d try to find the car that has the lowest mileage that’s in the best shape within a given budget. That 168k miles is nothing if the car has been maintained right. I would ask for maintenance records and have the car inspected by a trusted mechanic to make sure it’s in good shape and not hiding any defects
    4
  1450. That’s an awesome hybrid Toyota you got there! Just keep up with the maintenance and make sure you keep the hybrid fan filter clean which is located on the drivers side of the back seat and you should have no issues
    4
  1451. That product from Toyota can work but if it’s labeled for retail use and not professional use then it’s a watered down version and it wouldn’t be so effective. I would go with the liquimoly one as that’s a good product. It works very good but be careful not to repeat it too much. Follow their kit once and wait at least 15-20k miles before running it again.
    4
  1452. Interesting I would look into an oil cleaning solution as the issue is likely sticking piston rings. Some oil cleaning products could help loosen them up and stop the oil consumption. Unfortunately I can’t really recommend a specific product as the stuff we use at work are not available for retail sale
    4
  1453. Thank you!
    4
  1454. You can clean the sealing surface and apply a protector and it should seal well. I see rims corroded all the time and the rate of success of cleaning is very high
    4
  1455. Unfortunately you can’t. Every car is designed to work with a certain sensor.
    4
  1456. Hope no one got hurt in the accident. That’s one thing I wish they would change. Some models show the pressures some don’t
    4
  1457. Hi! They engage when the braking force required is higher than the max braking force from regen. Typically harder braking and as you’re about to come to a stop
    4
  1458. Hi! I posted it in the community tab
    4
  1459. For hybrids it’s not possible because the rear is not connected to the pedal directly. For non hybrids you can
    4
  1460. Most dealership technicians are paid under the flat rate pay structure. Maybe a video on this would help people understand. So it’s a complicated commission if you would. Some mechanics take advantage of that to make more money by pushing the customer however in reality there’s no need for it. I make a decent living by caring for customers and giving them sound advise to the best of my ability. Building truthful trust with the customer is important. I cannot tell you how many times I flat tell the customer I would love to do this job and get paid but I’d rather you save your money and look into getting another car as this one is not worth it. I think trust and honesty gets the best income possible, which is sleeping good at night with a clear conscience.
    4
  1461. Hi! Series starting this Tuesday!
    4
  1462. attyrustico very true. Some of them say don’t top off but usually in the smallest print!
    4
  1463. No actually ethanol free gasoline is better for any car!
    4
  1464. Joshua Adee Hi Joshua! As of today we don’t have any word on this issue. The minute I hear something new I will actually make a video and post it.
    4
  1465. Hi! Issues with the evap system would set trouble codes and the check engine light will come on
    4
  1466. And all this mess to get an additional half a gallon of fuel and go 5-10 miles more? Really not worth it. And add to that all the time you’ve spent in diagnosis to figure this out and then the 2nd time is really the one that makes you feel like you’re chasing a ghost. Overfilling is not worth it!
    4
  1467. Hi Rene! I honestly don’t see a direct effect on time of fill up. The speed of fill up shouldn’t be an issue. cars has a good venting system that can handle the high flow of gas from gas pumps.
    4
  1468. Robert Lamont this has come up lately. There’s the occasional double or triple clicks after it first clicked then there’s that person that really pushes the envelope by rocking the car and pulling the handle out and keep filling until they see fuel sitting at the filler neck. That’s the problematic top off that would cause damage.
    4
  1469. Allow me to answer this very good question. The whole idea of this system is to keep gas vapor from escaping and harming the environment. When you leave your gas cap off the gas vapors escape outside and it’s no longer a sealed system and the vapors won’t be captured by the canister and all the purge will do is take in clean air from the outside through the gas cap opening. Leaving your gas cap loose will set codes and eventually disable the purge until it’s fixed. But it will not draw gas into the canister.
    4
  1470. Hi! Yes. The combination of the spiking temp gauge no heat and misfire is a bad red flag
    4
  1471. Hi! I wouldn’t honestly. Because if you or the person who buys it replaces the engine and take that adventure they’ll have to replace the radiator and possibly heater core
    4
  1472. I’d say they’re both very good and reliable cars. The Camry is more expensive due to its size. I would drive both of them and see which one you like better. Likely the Camry will drive better as it’s bigger and feels more quiet and refined. The corolla gets better gas mileage and is 2k cheaper. Hard choice but it all comes down to your personal preference.
    4
  1473. Email me your VIN I can check. If it’s been done there’s a permanent paper trace with Toyota regardless of the dealership.
    4
  1474. Hi! I wouldn’t have an issue buying a Toyota CVT which I have in the past (14 corolla) they are well made and many examples with high mileage is already there without issues.
    4
  1475. I wouldn’t honestly. Get an original filter and don’t over tighten the canister. What’s inside the regular filter is the same as the canister
    4
  1476. Hi! You can use that line. It is somewhat simple in your RX as you don’t have a power steering pump in the way. Make sure you get the correct gaskets as well
    4
  1477. K&N makes decent oil filters. On your next oil change switch back to an original filter and see if it makes a difference. Just as a note it shouldn’t make a difference and if it does discontinue using the K&N filter!
    4
  1478. It has one trans fluid replacement on record
    4
  1479. It’s not an issue. It has to do with bad maintenance habits. Many many examples out there with this same engine with well over 300k miles that don’t burn oil. All has to do with maintenance
    4
  1480. Hi my brother. It’s possible that the extended idling caused this. Did you try an engine oil cleaning?
    4
  1481. Hi! Personally I would go 5k oil changes
    4
  1482. Hi! You want to help the pad move more freely and applying it under the hardware doesn’t really accomplish that.
    4
  1483. Hi! I would continue to drive it and make sure to change the oil sooner even at 3000 miles with a new filter. Use 5w30 and try an engine oil cleaner every other oil change to manage things and stop them from progressing.
    4
  1484. It is an issue although most of them have leaked and got fixed by now. If you’re going to replace it I would get the all metal line and never have to worry about not again.
    4
  1485. Thank you for watching my videos. The ticking noise that goes away when warmed is normal in these engines. Almost all of them to some degree make that ticking that goes away. As long as it’s not a grinding noise on start up that lasts up to 5 seconds then you’re good
    4
  1486. Hi! If it’s a 4 cylinder I would make sure that the service history is good. These love to burn oil if not maintained properly
    4
  1487. If the pistons and rings has been fixed you are in very good luck! Keep the oil changes between 3000-5000 miles and you’ll have this car for a very long time. Other than the oil burning which yours is fixed this is actually a very solid and reliable car.
    4
  1488. CSP stands for customer support program. You either want to call the dealership and ask if it’s been done or look the sealer of the whole engine. If it’s grey likely it hasn’t been done if it’s black possibly it’s been done
    4
  1489. Thank you!
    4
  1490. Hi! The 2007-2011 Camry hybrid models did have the oil consumption issues
    4
  1491. Thank you rob!

  1492. Gracias!

  1493. KDSS is in the next part coming out Saturday
    4
  1494. Hi! Not in this series but I’ll look into making a video for this idea.
    4
  1495. If you’re only bleeding because of caliper replacement then nothing special just keep the fluid topped up. If you’re bleeding because you’ve replace the unit you need a scan tool
    4
  1496. I wouldn’t! I love the magnetic grey! Just consider frequent washes and keep it polished and waxed and you’ll see how beautiful this color is when it’s kept clean!
    4
  1497. It really depends. I would avoid 4 cylinder on 2010-11 and for 07-09 make sure it has been fixed by the campaign for oil burning. Otherwise a v6 is a good option as long as it’s taken care of and no leaking oil everywhere
    4
  1498. Very well said my brother. Knowing what’s normal is key to knowing how to diagnose.
    4
  1499. Thank you for watching my bother. I love service advisors and mechanics who would do the 5k oil changes to their own cars but be confused when customers ask for that.... interesting right?
    4
  1500. Hi! That’s completely normal for the 3.5L engine and nothing to worry about. I know how you feel when you hear it, sounds terrible but they all do it and it’s not a problem
    4
  1501. Hi! I would get the alternator tested. Could be faulty
    4
  1502. Hi! So gas mileage is affected by many factors other than rich and lean. Like weight, tires brakes driving style ...etc. let me ask you this. Did the gas mileage drop at some point?
    4
  1503. Hi! It’s worth it for short distances
    4
  1504. Hi! Honestly you can’t go wrong with either. Your main focus would be the size in this case
    4
  1505. Hi! It is not required but recommended
    4
  1506. Hi! The manual transmission in the corolla will need a video of its own!
    4
  1507. Not exactly. The Prius V is unique in my opinion I wish they still make them.
    4
  1508. Hi! A similar CHR video will come in the near future
    4
  1509. I will tell you this with all honesty. I would look for a 2005-2006. Check the car against all the problems I listed in this video. Find one that’s in good condition that’s been taken care of and continue to take care of it and you’ll have the van for a long time without issues. These are good vans but many of them get neglected so finding a good one will take some time but will pay off every time. Best wishes on your van search.
    4
  1510. These model minivans didn’t have much issues other than age issues. Oil leaks and rust is usually what makes people let these go. Also some of them had catalytic converter issues where the computer would have to be replaced. Power door issues were not as common but possible.
    4
  1511. It’s possible that it’s the bushing which can’t be replaced original, the rack has to be replaced but it would have to be checked first. Another thing is front lower control arms can cause this as well. Lastly debris on the sensor tips can cause this too
    4
  1512. And when you try the tip, it works like magic! I’ve personally seen sensors eventually snap and break in the manifold then you’re there for a few hours drilling to get it out. Bad day for any mechanic!
    4
  1513. Hi Agostino! Thank you for watching my video! So the other lights come on because these other systems depend on a completely working engine control to function properly. Like traction control and AWD however ABS shouldn’t be one of the lights that come on because that is an independent system
    4
  1514. Hi! It seems random honestly and I have seen one past 2017. Most of them were 2016 models. Likely they updated the part
    4
  1515. Hi! They’re not bad for the engine they just manipulate the signal of the gas pedal
    4
  1516. Thank you for your comment. I do disagree with your statement and here’s why. In order to keep your car running like a 2 year old with 15k miles all the time, you’d want to invest 15-20 minutes every 6 months to check things. Even though the expectation is you’ll find nothing, you won’t be 100% sure until you look. Don’t need a shop to do that, most of the checks I did in this video any car owner can do DIY and catch any issues early on and address them.
    4
  1517. I hear you. There was nothing wrong with dipsticks. They did this so people who are not mechanics won’t be messing with them. Too bad for that idea since this video shows you how to do it and that it’s not hard at all.
    4
  1518. I wouldn’t worry about the flush. If the flush is done right it actually replaces more fluid than the drain and fill. The filter is really not a maintenance item. I wouldn’t worry about the filter too much. Every filter I’ve taken off was very clean and didn’t really have signs of clogging not even close. I would replace the fluid every 60k miles or 6 years.
    4
  1519. Hi! It’s the same on a 2016 RAV4 NON hybrid
    4
  1520. Hi! The temp range is 95-113 and I would replace the drain plug gasket
    4
  1521. This procedure could work but it’s too risky as if you’re not versed on how to do it you could run the pump dry intermittently and I personally wouldn’t recommend it.
    4
  1522. Thanks for watching my video. A hybrid transmission fluid video is in the list and coming up in the near future.
    4
  1523. Hi! The final fluid check the car is in park and running
    4
  1524. Very true!
    4
  1525. It’s not very easily accessible it’s behind the exhaust manifold but I haven’t seen a single one go back in this generation yet
    4
  1526. A comprehensive video on tire pressure monitoring is coming up soon. I’ll go over all details from how it works to how to DIY service it
    4
  1527. Yes that’s the idea.
    4
  1528. I would drive it every 3-5 days around 5 miles. That should keep things taken care of of.
    4
  1529. I think a 20 minute drive every week is good. Keeps everything circulating and charged up.
    4
  1530.  @mathhiaspumpkin5788  if I may ask did you look at the last 15 videos I published? I’m counting 10 non hybrid videos 9 if you don’t count the stories video. That’s 2/3 non hybrid content? Am I missing something? Also the new tundra engine is not published yet. We’ll talk about it when it’s out.
    4
  1531. When you set scheduled charging a prompt should pop up on the screen
    4
  1532. Hi Joel! Thank you for watching my channel. A series on the 2020+ is planned and coming in the next filming session. This series was requested by viewers as well as the sienna hybrid for a long time but the 2020+ highlander and its v6 engine and 8 speed transmission is next. After this plug-in series concludes which will be around 3 more episodes I have a couple general diy videos then an engine tear down video and after that 2020+ highlander series starts.
    4
  1533. You will hear about it around April 14th
    4
  1534. Hi! That RAV4 is a demo not my personal car. The 2nd key supplied typically is a master key as well. The valet key typically is grey in color
    4
  1535. Hi! Leaving the key inside or near the car is not recommended even if it’s in a safe place where theft is not a concern. The key will continue to communicate with the car and the car computers will remain awake for up to 20 minutes after that it will time out. However if you open the door again it will start communicating again which will drain the battery in the key and the car as well.
    4
  1536. Good catch
    4
  1537. The new 8 speed is holding up well after the initial hiccups. This engine gets better gas mileage than the 2AR
    4
  1538. Hi my brother! So that table is actually for Nissan! But it works great on our subframes and it has two lock pins in the rear that lock the subframe from moving. Has wheels if you need to wheel the assembly out.
    4
  1539. Hi! If your driving falls under special operating conditions specially frequent short trips less than 5 miles I would change it every 6 months.
    4
  1540. Hi! I would stick with Mobil 1 for cost. Amsoil is great but a bit on the pricy side
    4
  1541. As Doug mentioned, 5000 miles or 6 months.
    4
  1542. Hi! This engine comes with this problem from day one as it had an issue with pistons and rings. Regardless if you change the oil on time or not it will burn oil in certain years
    4
  1543. Hi! My drive to work is mainly highway and doesn’t have pot holes :-) but I am ready to replace wheels at some point. My recommendation in the video was for folks to be aware that this will happen at some point and if that’s a major issue then avoid the 19” wheels. I’m ok with it
    4
  1544. Thank you! Initial acceleration on the hybrid might be better but as you pick up speed the non hybrid has better acceleration
    4
  1545. Clutch for reverse? In reverse mg2 gets power to move the car in reverse. Because of the planetary it can run the engine to charge through MG1 to power the battery if state of charge is low
    4
  1546. The automatic is nice. It’s actually a good transmission
    4
  1547. The thing that I disliked the most about them is the “status” thing. A car will never make you more or less. Hard work and good attitude will. But Mercedes do drive and feel like nothing else. Of course their repair costs and upkeep is significantly higher than anything Japanese. Buying one and knowing that is important.
    4
  1548. They had the LX when we were buying this. Too expensive for us and they wanted 30k over MSRP.
    4
  1549. Parts cost a small fortune. Plus there’s no better pleasure for any mechanic than getting paid to fix your own car.
    4
  1550. Find part 3 here https://youtu.be/qBLqqt0TT7o
    4
  1551. Amen! Thank you!
    4
  1552. Yes! I wouldn’t use double filters
    4
  1553. I’m not very familiar with this mod. I’ll look into it and make a video for it in the future .
    4
  1554. Thanks! I’m working on getting a 2016+ Prius video soon
    4
  1555. I personally would change it every 5k or 6 months but that’s up to you.
    4
  1556. If you ever get a chance to drive one you’ll have a hard time not wanting one. You’ll remember me when you do drive one
    4
  1557. Hi Tarek, so I have a basic scanner video coming up but I’m hoping soon I will continue the series on how engine controls work with live data info
    4
  1558.  @Con_Calmaa it does work with android auto. Haven’t tested it though
    4
  1559. Hi! You can switch between modes as you drive without issues.
    4
  1560. I own a few cars. My main daily now is the 1999 ml320 with more things that are wrong than good which is the channels project car. This replaced my 2012 Camry which got totaled in an accident. Still upset over that loss and don’t want to move on with another new car although I’m very tempted by the RAV4 prime. Also own a toy car which is featured in one my tool reviews.
    4
  1561. Thank you for watching my video! The engine in your rav4 warms up rapidly. When you start the car in cold weather the engine will turn on in warm up mode once it shuts off it’s already at safe operating temperature so no real different requirements in cold weather.
    4
  1562. Interesting. No real explanation honestly because it should be the opposite. Only thing I can think of is that you’re pushing the car in eco mode because it’s not moving as fast as sport mode
    4
  1563. I would use e10 or no ethanol fuel if available.
    4
  1564. Agreed. And the same thing was said about the 6 speed transmission when it came out but now it’s good. Like everything else, gotta get used to something new.
    4
  1565. Hi! Just by making the shift while stationary is sufficient to get things moving for the locking diff and 4lo
    4
  1566. Hi! There’s no harm using s mode within reason. Also pinning the thermostat won’t cause harm unless you’re in very cold climate
    4
  1567. That works great as well! The block of wood is a good idea as well.
    4
  1568. Thank you! That is in the plans as well.
    4
  1569. It is very messy! Make sure you are well prepared and read the product information for your health and safety as well and use proper PPE
    4
  1570. Hi! On 5th generation 4runner some go around 100k and the later ones 2014 and up seem to hold longer
    4
  1571. Thank you for watching! Will do. Any product I see or run into that I think is worth it, I will make a review on
    4
  1572. This here is a promise. You’ll always see hearts and replies. Famous or not if I can’t help people with what I can it’s all for nothing! Thank you for watching my videos 😀
    4
  1573. Hi! It’s not a normal condition. Let me ask you this. Do you park on an incline or decline? Also is your parking brake engaging and disengaging smoothly?
    4
  1574. I would if it’s a car that sat on the lot for long.
    4
  1575. When the tires are at 55psi on a new car that’s 100% on the technician who did the pre delivery inspection. Most new Toyota’s come with high tire pressure to avoid flat spots when they’re in transit. The technician was supposed to lower the pressure to the correct inflation which they didn’t.
    4
  1576. Contact your dealership and report this. Lots of reports of inaccurate gas readings and the more it’s reported the more data Toyota has to investigate and repair if there’s issues. Could be a simple a calibration of the gauge which I would try first
    4
  1577. Hi! There’s no real way to find out what happened with the first owner of the car. Best way to know the cars real history is through the dealership. You’d be surprised how many things don’t show up on a car fax. Video coming up soon on this
    4
  1578. Honestly I’ll take the manufacturers word over some engine builder because in the end it’s the manufacturer that issues the warranty not the engine builder.
    4
  1579. Mechanics have super powers 😂 congratulations on your car purchase! What’d you get?
    4
  1580. Very hard to achieve! My 2012 Camry has 3 miles when I got it back then. But I work at the dealership so I drove it from the truck to the shop to detail to the gas station to fill it up.
    4
  1581. Hi! You’re good and have nothing to worry about. The recommendation is to avoid hard acceleration very regularly. One time shouldn’t be an issue.
    4
  1582. Hi Mathew! Thank you! You’ll see the 2nd and 3rd part this weekend! Thank you for watching!
    4
  1583. Hi! A scan tool is needed to open all the valves when recovering and charging
    4
  1584. Hi brother. The brakes are ok from my experience. The van is not super fast where you’ll need heavy braking. I don’t have complains on the brakes. The engine noise is true but also true for many hybrids. They rev up and hold like a CVT transmission car. More so on the sienna since it’s big and heavy. I would test drive one and see how you feel about the engine noise level
    4
  1585. Hi! Too early to tell. So far nothing problematic to report
    4
  1586. Hi! Honestly the old Supra that was 100% made by Toyota was not reliable compared to other toyota models of the time. This is a car segment that reliability is not high on the list if it is even on the list. The TRD Camry lacks significantly in the same way the corolla apex lacks. If Toyota comes up with a Camry that is similar to what the corolla GR is, then we’re talking. The corolla GR shares only some body structure and some interior things with the normal corolla. And that’s what they should’ve done with the Camry TRD. Something you might not know is that I pre ordered a Camry TRD when they were announced and didn’t buy it because of how it was. The Camry TRD does not drive like the Supra. even though they actually make somewhat close power figures. Many will say many things about the Supra until they drive one.
    4
  1587. The fender liner is not in the way. The strut tower in the frame is what makes this difficult
    4
  1588. Connectors you can dry them or clean them if they’re not too bad. Computers once they have active rust inside and green gremlins it’s past cleaning
    4
  1589. That could be just the transition between different driving conditions of the electric motors and the engine.
    4
  1590. Hi! This is not a maintenance item. If It ain’t broke don’t fix it. If you ever have an issue with the egr then repair it otherwise I’d leave it alone
    4
  1591. I wouldn’t use b mode to just slow down your highlander. Instead use the brakes lightly and early and you’ll get good regen braking to recharge the battery. I wouldn’t put the car in neutral as the battery can’t charge and the hybrid system can’t start the engine to charge it
    4
  1592. Honestly they’re good cars if maintained right. Very good cars to buy new and keep for a very long time. Buying a used one shouldn’t be rushed and I would make sure you’re buying a good one. Here’s a video I made on this exact subject with more Information https://youtu.be/3m5j8nJrMc8
    4
  1593. Hi! I heard the message as I was editing this video! Figured you’d see it! Thanks for the suggestion and your call!
    4
  1594. The 2006 highlander does have a built in mesh filter than needs cleaning it’s located between the back seat bottom and the floor of the back seat. You’ll see a row of vents, there’s a small cap you pop out in each vent to expose a screw, take it out and take the vent out and clean it.
    4
  1595. Hi! Honestly I would rather you do the service yourself than take it to jiffy lube. Not all of them are bad but some are and I don’t know how I feel about their service unless you know the place and have experience with them.
    4
  1596. Since it’s a new car that has sat in the dealership lot for sometime I would advice you to change it at 1000 miles and then 5000 miles or 6 months after that especially if you plan to keep it for a long time.
    4
  1597. Hi! It’s a good idea to do it but I will say this, I haven’t seen failures in the parts that got replaced under the campaign. This is definitely not a DIY job as you need to remove the power steering pump to install the new line. If worried I’d have a shop replace the rubber hose with another rubber hose original from the kit and call it a day.
    4
  1598. Very true. All Toyota models equipped with a maintenance reminder light or message on the multi information display will actually count to 5000 none of them count to 10,000 miles even the new ones. I hope Toyota stays with dipsticks as the whole industry is doing away with dipsticks.
    4
  1599. Hi! That’s a good one if not in the rust belt. They tend to rust pretty badly. Otherwise they’re common for oil leaks especially from the valve covers with age. But overall they’re good vans.
    4
  1600. Hi! The 2022 does have the fix already so you won’t have to worry about it
    4
  1601. Camry coming up soon
    4
  1602. Honestly I’ve never heard or seen lacquer thinner used to clean catalytic converters. In my professional opinion if a catalytic converter fails it needs replacement for the car to be emissions compliant however you’d want to make sure that it is indeed a failed catalytic converter first and if it is that is unfortunate but replacement is needed.
    4
  1603. Hi! Usually the harbor freight jacks don’t last much to really change their oil. I wouldn’t change it just top it off as needed and always use jack stands when using that jack.
    4
  1604. Thank you for watching!
    4
  1605. P0440 is for evaporative emissions system which I will cover in a future episode of this series
    4
  1606. Thank you for watching! Honestly a well maintained car that’s driven in normal conditions will maintain a healthy catalytic converter without the cleaner so I actually don’t like or encourage the use of cleaners, I encourage of good maintenance and driving habits
    4
  1607. Hi! Honestly in this case it could but since it doesn’t stay off for a long time it could be minimal
    4
  1608. Hi! Thank you for watching. The 4Runner and the FJ are very close. The 2010-2014 FJ has the same drivetrain as the 5th gen 4runner
    4
  1609. Good catch. Corrected. Noticed as soon as camera shut off. They fit and work except the distributor.
    4
  1610. Hi! 2 months is not too long and you might be able to be ok with that. But it will of course have a negative effect. Perhaps if you have some start the car and drive it every 2-3 weeks it would be even better
    3
  1611. Thank you for watching my video! Your Prius didn’t come with one from the factory. I would recommend you clean the fan first and then install a filter which clips onto the vent for ease of cleaning in the future. The part no for it is G92DH-47020
    3
  1612. Hi! I wouldn’t consider the battery type as a buying tool.
    3
  1613. Hi! Just different packaging but the same fluid.
    3
  1614. Hi! On FWD Toyota models the front differential is built into the transmission. Transmissions with this design are called Transaxles. So when you change the transmission fluid, you effectively changed the differential fluid as well. Some older models had it separate but not your Sienna.
    3
  1615. Hi’ with regular intervals they both do well. Synthetic in the long run is cleaner and better but sometimes at a higher price
    3
  1616. And you did good! Redline is very good.
    3
  1617. Hi! It is included for some Toyota models. Some of the older ones it’s missing but the company is working on it as I told them this is a deal breaker
    3
  1618. Redline is very good
    3
  1619. Hi! Honestly the best education is to start with basics on your own car and progress from there. A challenge would be the trucks especially the tundra because of reach. Disaster electrical diagnosis is my favorite
    3
  1620. Hi jerry. I totally understand your frustration as I feel the same way. However that auto start stop is part of the emission system of car and not something Toyota likes to do that’s why it defaults to on every time you restart the car.
    3
  1621. Likely not. I haven’t really looked into the owners manual for this one but it is somewhere buried in the repair manual.
    3
  1622. Thank you!
    3
  1623. I will in the futute
    3
  1624. Hi! It should work. It won’t work as good and Easy as throttle plate cleaner
    3
  1625. I would go for it like that. Some models will vary slightly from the 16% but a visual inspection is your sure way to know the condition and if cleaning is needed
    3
  1626. Thank you for your feedback! It’s greatly valued and appreciated!
    3
  1627. Hi! It’s a vacuum leak. Eventually a check engine light will come on and poor running
    3
  1628. Hi! That’s ok as long as you don’t over do it. If you spray too much it can end up in the intake and cause issues
    3
  1629. You can but it could not work as well.
    3
  1630. That’s too thick of oil. And engine oil cleaner might help
    3
  1631. Hi! You can clean it at the same time as the throttle body
    3
  1632. Same process for your car
    3
  1633. Hi! Not required after this process.
    3
  1634. Hi! Take the spark plugs out and put a very very small amount of oil and let it sit then crank it over. If you want to take it to the next level drain the gas and put fresh gas.
    3
  1635. Other than disabling it every time you go in not really. Cant disable it permanently
    3
  1636. Yes that’s normal. As you’ll see in the 3rd part of this series the auto high beams rely on the camera and with heavy rain the wipers can’t keep up and the camera can’t see so it disables it until the weather clears
    3
  1637. Toyota is the only one with equipment to retrieve the images from the camera. The dealership doesn’t have access.
    3
  1638. Hi! So the newer systems can sense if you’re holding the steering wheel or not when the system is active. Also the camera is pretty well made and designed to withstand the elements so direct sun light wouldn’t affect it.
    3
  1639. The system will slow down the car at full force with no guarantee that it will actually stop the car in time. While it’s braking you can steer the car safely although usually it applies the brakes at the very last minute and the normal human reaction of most is to panic and not do anything in such a split second
    3
  1640. The biggest differences in generations are in the camera and the programming. The first generation was very clunky and was somewhat not as active and really useful as the newest one. The new one is actually capable of a lot more than it does but limitations of liability and government regulations is what limits it.
    3
  1641. Yes! That’s coming up! I think in the 5th episode of this series
    3
  1642. That’s an intentional test. Have someone tried to come head on to a car and hit it? Because that’s when the system will work but who’s going to take the chance? The manufacturer did when they designed the system so you wouldn’t have to.
    3
  1643. Hi! The back up camera maybe but the front camera doesn’t display a normal picture. Hard to explain but it’s almost a black and white picture
    3
  1644. Usually the 2nd black box is the rain sensor on models equipped with rain sensing wipers
    3
  1645. The problem here is likely programming related. Don’t quote me on this but there’s a customization section in the Toyota scan tool which can change units that might be the setting that the dealership needs to change
    3
  1646. Not everyday but you don’t want it to sit for months regularly.
    3
  1647. Hi! Your Lexus doesn’t have a serviceable fuel pump. When it comes to the fuel pump. If it’s not broken don’t fix it. That fuel pump will last a very long time I wouldn’t worry about it
    3
  1648. Honestly I’d say it’s not the best one for this type of application as it has a limited time of actual power to start. A conventional battery one would be better or even running the air compressor directly from your power outlet from the car.
    3
  1649. Hi! Most of the new models have some issues in the first year of production but most of them are fixed under warranty and as long as they are maintained they should have no issues in the future. The Avalon and corolla had almost no issues in the first model year. The Japan made vs US made doesn’t really make a different anymore. It did back in early 2000s and late 1990s but today they’re all the same.

  1650. Hi! It doesn’t cause a negative draw on the battery that harms it. If it was able to charge on a dead battery I doubt it would draw so much that it would cause harm.
    3
  1651. I personally wouldn’t change the programming of the hybrid system. I am sure it’s possible but I wouldn’t. Hybrids are sensible cars with great reliability and fuel economy you modify them that might go out of the window
    3
  1652. They’re really similar on every level. Unless you take a measuring tape and start measuring you won’t find a significant difference size wise. The looks are different and I think that’s what Toyota is after. The RAV4 is more square and utilitarian where the Venza have swooping lines and more classic looking
    3
  1653. It’s on the list and will come in the future.
    3
  1654. Hi! Thank you for watching my video. Here’s a video that I made that explains the difference which is part of a series on how Toyota hybrids work https://youtu.be/u15wHYuEFmU
    3
  1655. I’m working on a video on this subject. They both have advantages and disadvantages but in the end they are close
    3
  1656. Hi! Not enough concerns with the headlights reported. Report it so it adds up and they’d look into making it better
    3
  1657. As volvo09 said it looks at the rotation of the crankshaft via the crankshaft position sensor. A low compression cylinder will have a slight jump in speed as it has less resistance
    3
  1658. Hi! I’m in process of testing and hoping to have a review out soon
    3
  1659. Hi! Yes that will be in ABS
    3
  1660. The monitors are a federal requirement for OBD2. Manipulating them to pass is a federal offense. The whole point of the monitors is to test these cars for emissions compliance. Any attempt to tamper with the process of the monitors is tampering with an emission device and is also a federal offense.
    3
  1661. Hi Robby. Honestly I don’t have much experience with Tahoe hybrids. I would contact the company that makes the tool to see what features are supported for your specific car
    3
  1662. Hi! I am planning to do that and compare them once I get it
    3
  1663. Hi! I got the D8 testing it now and will make a review
    3
  1664. No it services all makes and models
    3
  1665. Hi! Using it for the intended purpose shouldn’t be an issue. That’s normal what you are describing as it’s trying to slow the car done
    3
  1666. Yes it does
    3
  1667. Hi! Review coming very soon for the D8
    3
  1668. Hi! Honestly I haven’t tested the other one. It takes me 2-3 weeks of testing to come up with reviews. I’m very picky and don’t like to recommend something that I haven’t put through the paces. On questions on what the scan tool can and can’t do I would ask the company directly they’re very responsive
    3
  1669. Hi! Autel and most of this level scan tools can be a bit expensive to keep updated as time goes. At this price point you’re better off waiting 5 years then replacing the whole scan tool. That’s the name of the game when you go into the capable scan tool world. The D7 comes with 3 year free updates which is good in my opinion then you ride the storm for 3-5 years after that without updates then replace it.
    3
  1670. Hi Lukas! Thank you for watching my videos. Keep up the maintenance on your Lexus and you won’t have issues! I recommend oil changes every 5k miles. Change the coolant every 5 years or 50k both hybrid and engine. Change the trans and hybrid diff fluid every 60-90k and spark plugs at 120k and the ipm recall you’d have to call the dealership to see if it’s coveted by the recall. If it’s not covered then the repair was done at the factory and you got nothing to worry about there
    3
  1671. They are good but as they age they have a few issues here and there especially leaking water pump and leaking radiators
    3
  1672. They are very similar with also similar issues as well. Only difference is the 2008 RX was still an older model so it has slightly different issues namely radiator leaks and hydraulic power steering leaks. Small different issues that are associated with the different body and interior. But mechanically they’re almost identical.
    3
  1673. Even if the cover leaks in the future it’s not going To run the car out of oil just a few drops here and there and it also can be fixed
    3
  1674. Congrats on your purchase! Honestly I would inspect these lines and if they have the rubber sections I would replace them with all metal and never have to worry about them leaking ever
    3
  1675. Hi! In snow conditions Awd might be better. They’re all full time on demand. The 06-07 is very good but also getting a bit old and finding one in good shape is harder. The 11-13 is good if you find one in good shape
    3
  1676. Hi! The hybrid highlander Awd will have a rear differential that houses the 3rd electric motor which uses Toyota WS ATF and is recommended to be replaced every 60-90k miles
    3
  1677. Almost. The Venza is known for rear differential leaks.
    3
  1678. That’s really hard to predict how long it will last. However it’s a very reliable car and with good maintenance it will last a very long time.
    3
  1679. Hi! If all the maintenance is followed and taken care of then you’re all good
    3
  1680. Hi! I completely understand your concerns. However with good maintenance you’ll get a good life out of that accord. The 2011 highlander is great but I would still get a pre purchase inspection . And I have a video for their common problems I would go through it and check it well
    3
  1681. 2008-2013 highlanders don’t have a timing belt but a timing chain. However a worn serpentine belt could be the issue
    3
  1682. Without hearing the noise I can’t be 100% sure but from your description it sounds like pad shift when the brake pads change direction which is normal.
    3
  1683. They can vary between models. Look up all your torque specs on techinfo.Toyota.com
    3
  1684. Hi! You’ll want to try to reprogram them if they still don’t respond it might be an issue with the receiver. Does the tpms system work?
    3
  1685. Individually on bearings
    3
  1686. Hi! Yes it does and they can vary by bearing type
    3
  1687. Things might be different in Europe than the us. Likely the method used to measure octane is different hence the different numbers.
    3
  1688. Hi! Honestly with bmw I would use premium.
    3
  1689. Congratulations! Just keep up the maintenance
    3
  1690. Hi! That is by design and programming of the car. Later years with the updated engine went back to regular gas
    3
  1691. Let me look into it as it should be available.
    3
  1692. Hi! Costco gas is top tier and it’s good.
    3
  1693. I would follow the recommendation from the manufacturer. If it says regular gas then regular gas it is
    3
  1694. There’s nothing wrong with that. I would say use it up to 1/2 or 1/4 for convenience.
    3
  1695. If the manufacturer recommends premium then premium it is if you want the full performance of the car.
    3
  1696. Hi! I would use it in this case and every couple of months try to not charge it and use the gas in the tank.
    3
  1697. Hi! I would go with the gas that your car agrees with honestly. If you had issues with Costco gas that others resolved then I would stay away at least for this car. I fill up from Costco and have no issues but that varies by car.
    3
  1698. Hi! Many reasons a car pulls to the right. One is as simple as low tire pressure on one side. Another is an issue with the tire causing a pull. If the basics are covered then an alignment is next. However does it pull if you drive on the left lane of the highway as well?
    3
  1699. Using premium will not harm your car. But will not benefit it either.
    3
  1700. Good topic suggestion for the future! Thanks my brother!
    3
  1701. It’s possible. You’ll need to attempt to communicate with it using a scan tool
    3
  1702. Hi! Honestly auto manufacturers would love nothing more than to keep making very simple cars forever. But government requirements for fuel mileage and emissions push them to go in that direction. That coupled with consumer demand for features and speed also pushes them to make changes all the time
    3
  1703. Good suggestion. We’ll cover it in a future episode
    3
  1704. No the 12-17 requires some removal but not as much
    3
  1705. Yes in that case you’re good with compressed air. Just don’t let the fan spin when you clean it. Hood it in place while you clean it
    3
  1706. I would be careful with compressor air on the fan. You’d need to remove the fan because if you clean it with it installed you’ll push all the dirt inside the battery
    3
  1707. All 2020 models and up have filters and even earlier most of them do. The newer ones are much easier to service the filter and even the filter itself is much better made.
    3
  1708. It’s not that bad. It looks harder and more involved that it actually is.
    3
  1709. Hi! It’s a good engine with good maintenance. Neglected however they would develop oil burning
    3
  1710. Hi! I usually recommend mounts original. Shop around for originals for better deals than at the counter from the dealership
    3
  1711. Hi! The Camry doesn’t have an oil cooler. But does have the rear vvti line which is rubber however it was updated in a campaign
    3
  1712. Hi! It’s not sealed and you’d want to replace the transmission fluid. It’s actually very simple on your Prius
    3
  1713. Hi! I use a GoPro hero 8 in this video. The cut outs are actually audio cuts. This was one of the last videos made with the dying microphone
    3
  1714. Hi! Yes I would replace it every 60k miles or 6 years
    3
  1715. Hi! Nothing really to prevent it. This engine runs very good and it was maintained but the age and miles
    3
  1716. Hi! It’s not a major issue that needs addressing right away other than the annoying noise. One thing you can try is loosen the nut connecting the intermediate shaft to the column move the shaft a bit then tighten it and see if it resolves it
    3
  1717. Hi! I actually have an interesting GX470 coming in the near future. I hope I can get around to filming it some time in February
    3
  1718. Yes! Very thankful to be given the opportunity to review the cars!
    3
  1719. Redline honestly
    3
  1720. Hi! Usually the vent on AWD models rarely clog. More common on trucks especially the rear differential.
    3
  1721. Hi! For your rav4 prime there’s no transfer case. You will use Toyota WS ATF on the RAV4 prime differential and transmission
    3
  1722. Hi! They’ll need to test the brake fluid. Usually it barely starts around 3 years or so. Too early I think. And the the throttle body cleaning you’ve just entered the window not something that is pressing. I would not do it now and pass your first brake/tire replacement then the throttle body
    3
  1723. Hi! You can go aftermarket fluid like Mobil one in that weight
    3
  1724. Hi! Should be around 2-2.5 quarts for most AWD non trucks
    3
  1725. Hi! This will need in person diagnosis but check mounts and driveshaft center support bearing
    3
  1726. Hi! Yes you can.
    3
  1727. You can but don’t use it excessively where the car is in b mode most of the time. In plain areas using the brakes will be more than enough to slow down the car
    3
  1728. Thank you!
    3
  1729. So the Japan vs NA build I’m working on a video with details on that! And on the BZ4X I have no more information on it than what’s published. I’m more of a real world kinda of guy and until I see the car sitting in my work bay I tend to reserve opinion if you know what I mean
    3
  1730. Some of them work in a different fashion slightly. Added to the list thanks for the suggestion
    3
  1731. B mode is similar to engine braking to slow down the car. You don’t want that when going up hills. When going down the hill you want to slow the car down
    3
  1732. Hi! It’s not recommended to flat tow hybrids. If you can lift the front wheels that would work
    3
  1733. Thank you for watching my videos! Some models will have a S mode where you can “manually” shift the transmission. That is similar to B mode just has different levels if you would mimicking them feel of a manual transmission if you would.
    3
  1734. I don’t see a disadvantage but I would use regular D for everyday driving
    3
  1735. Hi! You can use B mode as you drive
    3
  1736. Congratulations on your first hybrid!
    3
  1737. Hi! I drove a 2021 sienna very recently nice van I’m a bit concerned about the power level compared to the v6 in the previous model.
    3
  1738. I’ll look into it if all models are the same. Honestly I didn’t see a scenario where I would use b mode and cruise control.
    3
  1739. Hi! Use it when descending downhill to slow the car. You don’t need to stop, just shift into B mode and no damage would occur if you shift while driving.
    3
  1740. If it’s a 2.5L 2AR engine then yes. They looked ok but burned oil and had a work down cylinder wall. And the lifetime warranty always has a catch. Either somewhere in the fine print defines lifetime as a certain mileage and time or they will replace everything with high mileage used parts without warranty. I’d rather you buy a limited by clear time and mileage warranty from a good company
    3
  1741. You can but still not advised.
    3
  1742. Downshifting a hybrid using paddle shifters or the newer ones with S mode essentially is the same as B mode just gradual where the computer would basically vary the intensity of B mode to give the feeling of a downshift.
    3
  1743. Hi my brother. Those failures on GM and Dodge are related to the cylinder management where they shut down cylinders to save gas. Toyota doesn’t use that system in their V8s or any model for that matter at least in the us so no worries there
    3
  1744. Hi my brother there’s no real interval for it but every spark plug replacement at 120k is a reasonable interval
    3
  1745. Hi! This could vary by model. I would head over to parts.Toyota.com use your vin number to look it up
    3
  1746. Hi my brother. It should be 2 fans if memory serves right
    3
  1747. Hi! Honestly I would replace it at this point. Usually with the cheaper testers repeated good recharge after regular driving or charging means it’s failing
    3
  1748. Hi! Dealerships and independent shops go by a labor guide book that sets times for each job. Usually all data or mitchel and there are others. 4 hours is excessive honestly way too much. I’d have to check the exact time but usually up to 2 hours is pushing it with diagnosis as it’s a very simple job to do. Labor time is low for the dealership. Looks like $102.5 per hour which is lower than average for dealerships even the shop is lower than average
    3
  1749. Hi. Unfortunately I don’t know anyone in your area. I am in the Chicago area
    3
  1750. Hi! Try to bleed the coolant as per a video I made. See if this does it. If not then likely it’s a head gasket leak and honestly there might be more work needed. you’re better off finding a used engine at a good price to keep the price in check. If it gets too much just put a used engine and call it a day
    3
  1751. The 1997-2001 was great but too old now. 2002-2006 with a v6 is great kinda of old now too. 2007-2011 with a v6 is great. 2012-2014 is very good. Likely so far the 2015-2017 is best to buy used. The newest one is very nice but too young to know how they’ll hold up
    3
  1752. Unfortunately I wish I agree. The 2AR-FE has significant oil burning issues especially in the early years. It wasn’t until around 2012 When it was updated that it was fixed. The first few years were very bad for oil burning. Especially 09-12 rav4 10-11 camry
    3
  1753. You’re welcome! Watch out for the 2009s as they had oil burning as well! The 2009s could have been fixed by Toyota so make sure you look into that. Watch my video on the 2007-2009 for more information
    3
  1754. lucci B every mechanic will have their opinion regarding different engines. And that opinion has to do with their actual experience with the cars. My experience comes from working exclusively with Toyota.
    3
  1755. Hi! Thank you for your comment! I keep telling people it’s all about the oil change interval and your car is testimony to that! I would leave that transmission at this point.
    3
  1756. Hi! Hybrids are generally good in that model except the oil burning situation
    3
  1757. I hear you. Well I will be working on a video showing how to do the transmission fluid replacement at home. If you’re a subscriber you’ll get the notification if not check back later or subscribe not to miss it. Thank you!
    3
  1758. Hi! I would adhere to the manufacturers recommendation on fuel type.
    3
  1759. I wouldn’t mind an ES made in Kentucky
    3
  1760. Hi! 2014 and up are good years
    3
  1761. Hi! It is a better sound system but honestly the stock sound system is decent. Depends how high sound quality is on your list. Most folks won’t notice a significant difference
    3
  1762. Hard to tell honestly. Sales were not doing so well
    3
  1763. Hi! Check and/or replace your battery. Very common issue with this engine. If the voltage drops too low during starting it will set this code
    3
  1764. Hi my brother! Honestly I would go with a top tier gas brand. The small difference is not worth it in price
    3
  1765. Honestly you normally can’t go wrong buying a Lexus ES model in general as long as it’s in good shape. 2013+ is a definite highlight
    3
  1766. As long as you don’t open the hydraulic circuit like opening bleeders treat the brakes as normal car brakes when replacing. For the rears with electronic parking brake this procedure works. To turn the key on without pressing the brake pedal push the start button twice then try the procedure
    3
  1767. Yes
    3
  1768. 😂 I hear you
    3
  1769. It will work on all models with the motor attached to the caliper. Some Lexus models had a different system for the parking brake that used a motor to pull the cable and still had regular shoe parking brake inside the rotor hat.
    3
  1770. Hi! Yes
    3
  1771. Hi! The ones that are dry and get applied with a brush are the ones I would consider. Not the spray ones that are very runny
    3
  1772. Hi! Checking the fluids and topping them off is typically part of any service at a dealership. Some dealerships will offer free tire rotations when you buy tires from them.
    3
  1773. Depends on your preference. All season tires in the 4runner work well with snow as it’s a capable truck. Many 4runner owners love KO2s
    3
  1774. Larger tires will affect gas mileage handling and speedometer accuracy
    3
  1775. Hi! It will affect gas mileage and Speedometer accuracy. Also and this is trial and error you might have rubbing issues on turns
    3
  1776. If you have vibration issues that you didn’t have before new tires I would go back
    3
  1777. Hi! I wouldn’t honestly.
    3
  1778. I’m glad it helped!
    3
  1779. Hi! Yes if they’re mounted and have pressure you’re good
    3
  1780. You can as long as you don’t make sharp turns
    3
  1781. You can drive in 4H just make sure it’s on a straight line or a slight curve. Not on sharp turns
    3
  1782. That would be one BMW I would buy even if it’s unreliable. And the E38 as well with a V12
    3
  1783. Personally I would. The salesman will suddenly disappear 10 years from now when many have issues and you’re smooth sailing.
    3
  1784. Hi! Oil changes recommended very 5k miles. Spark plugs every 120k coolant change every 50k 5 years…etc
    3
  1785. Hi! So far no issues to report
    3
  1786. Hi! So far so good. I haven’t seen issues with them
    3
  1787. Hi! It could be because of towing
    3
  1788. Some of these have a software update to improve things.
    3
  1789. I understand. You want to arm yourself with as much information as you can and always ask questions and ask the dealership to show you what they’re doing. Honest dealerships wouldn’t have a problem showing you everything
    3
  1790. Hi Nate! So keep notes on the issues. You can find a decent van but you’d want to look at them well and with this information you’ll know exactly what to look for. I also have a 2 part video on the 2004-2010 sienna that can be helpful if you’re looking at the previous generation as well
    3
  1791. Not a bad engine but I think the V6 is a better option for both the sienna and highlander. Especially if used to carry people and their luggage on trips, you’ll feel the 2.7 strained all the time
    3
  1792. Never ashamed my brother. I dedicate everything in my life to the lord including the channel. If it’s in his plans for it to prosper then it will if not then Jesus can take everything in the world just give me Jesus. Pleasure to meet a brother, may the lord bless you and keep you.
    3
  1793. I would use 0W20 full synthetic. As far as brands most of good brands are good. Official oil from Toyota is Mobil 1
    3
  1794. Amedeo Bafadl some of the issues are similar but the older siennas had more additional issues. I’m working on the buying guide for that model should be out in 2-3 weeks
    3
  1795.  @JohnCornellier  Thank you!
    3
  1796. Thank you for watching my video! So Toyota is usually very quick about their response and change of production on new models. They have a system in place which is early detection early resolution that works pretty good and you’ll see a barrage of TSBs the first model year to address issues rather quickly. And historically they’ve been active on extending warranties on things that may worry car buyers to give them the piece of mind that the manufacturers got your back.
    3
  1797. Thank you for your comment. That will come in the near future.
    3
  1798. I think it’s a good van. Just make sure to check it well and make sure you’re buying one that’s taken care of and then continue to take care of it and you’ll have no issues
    3
  1799. Hi! Hard to put exact mileage. Some fail at 50k some go over 200k miles and still be fine
    3
  1800. They are really all similar underneath. The se will have bigger tires that could be expensive. The limited has more features
    3
  1801. I would always negotiate but if it’s in good shape and taken care of I think it’s a good price
    3
  1802. Hi! Don’t worry. This is mainly for those going to buy one that’s neglected. It you’ve kept your maintenance and took care of your van you have nothing to worry about.
    3
  1803. Thank you for your comment! I believe in Toyota and I think although the reliability cannot be the same as before because of how complicated cars are these days but I believe Toyota is still ahead when compared to others. I still see their approach of delayed technology because they are more interested in getting things tested right and made well than rushing things out the door just to be the first one with the technology. We don’t have turbo engines yet in mainstream Toyota’s but I wouldn’t doubt that it will someday but again delayed because they want to make sure it’s as reliable as a Toyota owner would expect
    3
  1804. Wonderful! That’s good news! That’s $900 you don’t have to spend!
    3
  1805. You’re welcome! Thank you for watching my video!
    3
  1806. I would check it before you buy it. Buying one of these vans in good shape is a very good idea. Buy the right van and you’ll have it for long without issues, buy the wrong one and it will be a bad experience if the previous owner didn’t take care of it.
    3
  1807. Hi! I would look at the highlander as well. Also another one that’s forgotten is the 2010-2015 Venza which is a solid one as well. You can’t go wrong with a rav4 either but it might be too small.
    3
  1808. Thank you. I am in Chicago.
    3
  1809. I hear you. I would include the highlander as well in your search. Siennas are very reliable when compared to others but because of their special functions they can be slightly less reliable than SUVs or sedans
    3
  1810. That’s possible. You might need to center the rack and pinion as well. Basically if the rack is not centered it will turn more to one side than the other. Once you check that both side turns are equal I would just remove the wheel physically and center it. You might need to reset the steering angle sensor if it was off. Basically if you get no warning lights you’re good. Check the tie rods maybe it hit a curb and bend a tie rod?
    3
  1811. The 5.7 is a good engine. A few issues here and there like the cam tower leak but overall other than the terrible gas mileage it’s a very good engine and a good truck
    3
  1812. 2020s has been likely the most reliable but also being the newest they have an advantage.
    3
  1813. 😂
    3
  1814. Hi bill. Honestly it’s hit and miss. Some go 200-300k without any leaks and some leak under warranty. Typically for the head gasket leaks it seems road salt related and lack of proper salt cleaning as the gasket starts corroding and the aluminum pitting. On the front cover leak the ones that don’t leak under warranty they’re usually high mileage 150k+
    3
  1815. I wouldn’t be so sure on the Sedona honestly. But that’s just me. I’d buy a sienna in a heartbeat if I was shopping for a minivan.
    3
  1816. Thank you for watching my video. A pre purchase inspection is recommended on any used car. If buying from another non Toyota dealership I would ask them if you can take the car for an inspection at a Toyota dealership
    3
  1817. Typically yes or simply lack of proper inspections to catch them while they’re in warranty. Just whichever van you’re buying check it against the list from the video. Vans that pass are the ones you want
    3
  1818. Hi! Just the dog bone mount on top. Everything else should clear. Then the 3 mounts on the subframe as well. Lift the engine and hold it then remove the side mount and replace the arm then the same for the transmission
    3
  1819. Hi! Thank you for watching and subscribing! I am planning to have videos on the 2021 sienna very soon
    3
  1820. That’s usually a sign of bad circulation in the ac box. Short term fix would be to use a cleaning kit for the ac system. Toyota sells a lot that works really well. Long term fix is to avoid leaving the mode door on recirculate when you park the car. This allows fresh air to circulate and dry the internals of the ac system to avoid the bad smell.
    3
  1821. I haven’t seen issues with tires yet but I wouldn’t be surprised if it does become an issue as well
    3
  1822. Yes more than likely. That is actually one filter that is constantly going out of stock
    3
  1823. Aftermarket is the issue potentially. Before anything check all the mounts
    3
  1824. Hi! Mounts or CV axles. Any of the CV axles leaking or has been replaced with aftermarket?
    3
  1825. Hi! I would change it every 60k miles or 6 years
    3
  1826. Hi! Not a huge different unless you tow a lot or have a lot of passengers often
    3
  1827. On my test averaged between 12-15 mpg
    3
  1828. This was filmed during the professional camera operator’s day off 😉
    3
  1829. Hi! Cold engines leak some fuel past the rings into the oil. That’s normal for engines. Over time that fuel in the oil breaks down the oil that’s why you need to get it replaced even if you didn’t put a lot of miles
    3
  1830. Hi! You could have an issue with one of the axles if it only happens on acceleration
    3
  1831. Hi! Warranty and battery options will vary greatly between different countries. I would ask at your local Toyota dealership.
    3
  1832. Thank you for sharing your experience flagmichael!
    3
  1833. Hi! High heat does affect the battery but no reason to worry. Keep the fan filter clean and always use AC
    3
  1834. Likely very close. Definitely not worth the change
    3
  1835. Hi! Yes you can upgrade wheels and tires on hybrids
    3
  1836. They switched half way from I recently heard. With the shortage of cars I haven’t seen a late 2021 to confirm
    3
  1837. Hi! Below 32 will affect the range but not the health of the battery unless it’s parked for over a month in those temps without driving at all
    3
  1838. Hi! I would take the fans and clean them and if they are clean you’re all good.
    3
  1839. Hi! The information should be the same regardless of where the car is made as long as it’s US market spec
    3
  1840. As bogdan mentioned and I second, using the AC is almost mandatory when the car was left under direct sun light. The battery is well covered and typically doesn’t get direct sun light but it will be hot enough where it might require immediate cooling.
    3
  1841. Hi! I would ask about the models in your area as they might differ
    3
  1842.  @rightlanehog3151  actually 10.6% to be exact which is significant. Unfortunately I don’t readily have access to the Canadian spec information
    3
  1843. The information in my video comes straight from Toyota For US market cars. Things might be different for Canadian spec rav4s
    3
  1844. Watch this video. It’s for a tundra but I do explain how to check for cam tower leaks in details. https://youtu.be/l2OAHImTgA8
    3
  1845. Hi! The Prius is very good if you like it! The corolla cross is an impressive car as it takes a very good model and makes it larger
    3
  1846. In my book the RC is very similar to the GS and it’s definitely a good buy
    3
  1847. No real reason. Likely demand is not high
    3
  1848. Hi! The 300h is the best NX to buy. Concerns over the turbo models on the non hybrids but the hybrid model is good.
    3
  1849. Hi! The crown is very close to the LS. The 4.6 v8 is a very good engine but the 4.3 is the best in my opinion
    3
  1850. Hi! I have concerns over the long term reliability of the turbo engine. The hybrid model is likely the best model to buy in the NX. Overall it’s a good car otherwise
    3
  1851. Hi! It has more features. I am waiting to get one to review it
    3
  1852. Hi! If you have no issues with it and you like it, I would keep going
    3
  1853. It’s good as well. The convertible top does have somewhat of a common issue with some switches going back but otherwise it’s a very nice car
    3
  1854. Hi! Timing chain
    3
  1855. Still the case. I haven’t seen any cases
    3
  1856. Hybrid transmissions are very reliable. The 8 speed had some issue the first year or so but after that it’s reliable. Does shift too much but that’s normal and not a problem
    3
  1857. Yes Joseph because of the altitude you can use 85
    3
  1858. Transmission fluid every 60-90k brake fluid needs to be tested but on average every 3 years. 12v battery when it fails which is usually around 3-5 years
    3
  1859. Hi Brandon. Absolutely! It’s on the list and will come in the future.
    3
  1860. Thank you for your feedback. Background music is gone in newer videos
    3
  1861. I trust Toyota. They’ve made complicated things before and people were worried and everything turned out ok.
    3
  1862. With good maintenance Toyota engines won’t burn oil. Poor maintenance = oil consumption guaranteed. Video coming up on this soon
    3
  1863. Hi! The tundra being unchanged will be slightly more reliable than the Tacoma but the Tacoma is a very reliable truck as well.
    3
  1864. I’ve already seen examples well over 100k miles still using 0w16 and no issues at all. The oil additives personally I wouldn’t use regardless of 0w16 or not but that’s just me..
    3
  1865. This has come up. I am based in the US and the manual is different than other markets. I would use the oil that was printed on the car under the hood as programming for different markets could be different.
    3
  1866. Hi! I would change it using 0W16. Oil is cheap and these oil changes every 5k or 6 months will pay off in the later part of the engines life.
    3
  1867. Very true Luis. That’s the Toyota way. They don’t rush things into production just to the firsts to have it. But when they do get technology out they tend to take their time to get it right and reliable. Not 100% of the time but definitely a higher percentage than a lot of other manufacturers
    3
  1868. The fuel injector cleaner is for certain markets. Also an Italian tune up here and there can’t hurt anything.
    3
  1869. Hi! I would switch it back to 0w16 on the next oil change
    3
  1870. I'll try to get one out on the channel in the future!
    3
  1871. Hi! 2022 4runner is one of many that still doesn’t have direct injection.
    3
  1872. We’ve already seen a few cars with over 200k the highest one being a taxi Camry hybrid with 236k miles. Every oil change was done at the dealership ever 3-5k with Toyota 0W16 oil and still going strong. Time will tell. Just like anything else Toyota makes if you take care of it, it will take care of you. Having said that I agree with you that this engine might not be as forgiving on neglect as previous engines.
    3
  1873. Hi Daniel! Congratulations on your RAV4 purchase in advance! So my break in procedure depends on how long you’re keeping the car. If you’re keeping it 5 years or less then don’t even worry about anything just drive and enjoy. If you’re planning to keep it for a long time well past 5 years then I would take it easy the first 500 miles. Avoid long drives at constant rpm. Basically avoid prolonged highway driving when possible. Also avoid hard acceleration when possible. After 500 miles you can open up a bit but not too much. At 1000 miles replace the oil and oil filter. Then follow it up with another oil change at 5k miles and I would continue to change the oil every 5k miles or 6 months after that. That’s what I do with all my cars and never had a single issue because of oil.
    3
  1874. The cooler will clog eventually but we’ll see how this one holds up
    3
  1875. Thank you for watching my videos. No harm in using the additive but I would gauge its advantage versus its cost to see if it’s worth it.
    3
  1876. Hi Ken. Yes the corolla has a similar eCVT to the prius
    3
  1877. Hi! The corolla hybrid doesn’t have a physical 1st gear like the non hybrid.
    3
  1878. That is something with the corolla. I wish they’d add lumbar support
    3
  1879. Hi! At this mileage if it’s never been done I’d leave it alone
    3
  1880. Hi! I’d say the hybrid is likely better
    3
  1881. The cross is available in FWD or AWD but only one engine option and transmission option so far
    3
  1882. Hi! Only the SE and XSE trims has it
    3
  1883. Hi! Recently seen one with over 200k seemed to run fine
    3
  1884. Hi! Honestly in this market this might be tough.
    3
  1885. The hatchback does have a smaller back seat
    3
  1886. Hi! Has nothing to do with BMW. 100% toyota
    3
  1887. Hi! It wouldn’t hurt to change it yes
    3
  1888. They’re actually very nice and a butter smooth transmission
    3
  1889. Hi! No real information on them yet. Exciting if it’s similar to the GR Yaris!
    3
  1890. This engine is equipped with an oil separator so a catch can would be overkill in my opinion
    3
  1891. I wouldn’t install one on a 21 sienna as it has a very good oil separator.
    3
  1892. Thank you! Series on how plug in hybrids work planned and being drawn out. Will come in the future
    3
  1893. Hi Cody! That whine is normal. 2 things cause the whine. At some point the oil pump will actually switch to even a higher pressure and start whining. Also the transmission pump does whine at higher Rpms. Totally normal and nothing to worry about.
    3
  1894. Hi! The A25A was introduced in the Toyota line up in the US in the 2018 Camry which was essentially built in the end of 2017.
    3
  1895. Yes. This engine is a bit loud and that’s by design. Nothing to worry about.
    3
  1896. I’ve personally seen a few cases where metal was present and deep knocking noises caused by the wrong oil used in this engine. This engine still has low tension piston rings so the long oil change interval will take its toll on these rings and cause issues in the future. A video I’m working on will explain this in details.
    3
  1897. Hi! You can use water just avoid direct water on electrical connectors and try to dry things up with compressed air
    3
  1898. Yes. The new 2.0 in the corolla is a variant of this engine
    3
  1899. They’re both reliable. The 5.7 is a bit ancient and doesn’t have good gas mileage
    3
  1900. Thank you for watching my video! So on your hybrid RAV4 the engine is very similar. There’s no drive belt due to the electric ac compressor and no alternator.
    3
  1901. I do have a video that applies for the 09-15 venza sealed transmission. You can find it here https://youtu.be/eRxSu4-4ojo it’s a Camry in the video but it’s the exact same procedure for the venza
    3
  1902. I’d rather they bring back the FJ cruiser.
    3
  1903. I agree
    3
  1904. Hi! Since the cases have stopped I assume they did something to improve it.
    3
  1905. Would’ve loved to! But then I won’t get loaned cars for the videos anymore 😀
    3
  1906. Not really. I usually do exactly what you did. Bend them up with channel locks then bend them back in after you install the seal
    3
  1907. Hi! I personally would go original parts non xreas and try to find them cheaper online. If ride quality is a high priority going original is your best bet.
    3
  1908. Yea about the same on the tundra just on a larger scale
    3
  1909. Hi! General rule of thumb is if the paint marks on the chain are still very visible and bright the chain is good. If they’re faded replace the chain
    3
  1910. Hi! Air bags is my first thought on this.
    3
  1911. Hi! This is a normal characteristic of the truck. The driveshaft causes that but it’s not a problem
    3
  1912. Southwest suburbs
    3
  1913. The valves can be fun facing the firewall.
    3
  1914. Hi! If you don’t have a need for 4lo I wouldn’t bother fixing it honestly
    3
  1915. In this case you unfortunately might need a transmission. Look at the bottom rear bolt inside the bell housing if it’s all wet and it’s the source then it needs a new transmission. I would call Toyota on this one as that’s a a manufacturing issue
    3
  1916. There’s a common Issue with these where the case of the transmission is the cause of the leak.
    3
  1917. if they don't have a core charge on them, they go to scrap metal.
    3
  1918. It's a very valid question you ask. However this is a repair shop. You will only see the ones that need repair. the ones that are out and about not needing much are the one you won't see here.
    3
  1919. New camera :-)
    3
  1920. It is unmetered air but the computer knows when the egr is open and it compensates for it. So it’s basically a controlled unmetered air.
    3
  1921. If it leaves no residue you’re good. I’ve used brake clean with good success but very small amounts followed by light volume shop air does the trick.
    3
  1922. I would use a very small amount of brake cleaner. You’d want a spray that evaporates and doesn’t leave residue
    3
  1923. Should be lithium ion
    3
  1924. Hi jack! I don’t have a video for the inverter coolant yet but It’s definitely on the list.
    3
  1925. Hi! If the hybrid battery fails but is not completely dead the car will start and the engine will come in all the time and will have very limited power.
    3
  1926. It shouldn’t be but if you’re working in the battery then yes. But you still need to take precaution when working on high voltage wires even with the car off
    3
  1927. That is upcoming in a common issues video for the 2010-2015 Prius. I’m with you it’s very common unfortunately.
    3
  1928. On your RX the engine coolant goes through the transmission as well.
    3
  1929. Hi! Which model?
    3
  1930. It will take some time. Keep an eye on it and especially look at it before the 60k mark if you see nothing by then I’m not worried.
    3
  1931. Hi! Your 2017 Camry with 44k is not out of warranty for the timing chain cover leak. If you’re in the US that’s covered under the powertrain warranty which is 5 years 60k miles. And yes other than the leak and oil dripping it will not affect the operation of the engine.
    3
  1932. Yes they do route the coolant through the transmission on some models! Looks like a drain on the transmission but it’s actually the coolant. The transmission drain plug is a little bit towards the back
    3
  1933. Hi! No there’s a proximity speaker elsewhere
    3
  1934. For light dust just use compressed air
    3
  1935. There are many products out there. The products I use at work are not sold for retail use only for shops. It’s an additive that we add to the engine oil and let it run for 15-20 minutes then change the oil and filter
    3
  1936. Hi! The engine can run to charge the battery or drive the car as well
    3
  1937. The sequoia air suspension is very reliable. Worst case that I’ve seen is the small arm for the height sensor breaks from rust. Otherwise I haven’t seen any issues with them
    3
  1938. Hi! It doesn’t have neither.
    3
  1939. Hi! They are in fact better made. Most of the failures I see are aftermarket ones honestly. Not sure on the provider of the parts
    3
  1940. KDSS is great if you don’t plan to modify. If you modify you can get the same results without KDSS
    3
  1941. Many options out there. You’ll basically need to replace the shocks/struts and mounts. Changing the springs is ideal as well
    3
  1942. I personally would like one with KDSS. But in reality the one without KDSS and XREAS would be the simplest and most reliable. Less is more with cars
    3
  1943. Good question! I think they’d have to modify it to work with the TRd pro which is slightly lifted so they really didn’t want to bother changing the whole system to accommodate the factory lify
    3
  1944. The 4runner shares almost everything with the GX/Prado. The Tacoma shares a lot with the hilux
    3
  1945. Hi! The 80 series is very good but they’re also older now and can have issues just from age. But for an older model it’s still way superior to anything that age. Same things apply avoid rusty one and neglected ones
    3
  1946. Hi! Those are usually a bear. On some models you can get a bearing separate from the axle where you heat up the bracket, destroy the bearing then press a new one in. But in cases where you can’t I usually sacrifice the bracket as it’s much cheaper than the axle. Cut a relief cut in the bracket carefully, crack it and the bearing will come out then install a new bracket
    3
  1947. Honestly the whole package is better. But that doesn’t mean that the 4runner is not good just that the land cruiser is better
    3
  1948. Hi! That’s normal and typically a sign that this car isn’t driven hard or on the highway often
    3
  1949. Hi! I typically don’t recommend high mileage oil. Regular oil changes are more important honestly
    3
  1950. Both are red flags honestly. The filter clogged is not a good sign. And 399 for nitrogen is way too high
    3
  1951. Hi! Honestly this is a tough situation. While accidents do happen at dealership however I totally understand your concern as it happened twice. I would stop by in person and speak with the manager in person. Explain to him/her that it’s not about fixing any damage, it’s about avoiding damage. As far as the prepaid maintenance, depends which program you have, it might not be possible to service your truck at another dealership. Ask about this at another dealership honestly. They’ll be able to tell you.
    3
  1952. Hi! That is a good car if it has good service history and was taken care of
    3
  1953. Have them clean up the leak and double check it
    3
  1954. Hi! Replacing it because the pulley was noisy but you can’t get it separate
    3
  1955. Hi! It’s very tight on the Avalon regardless of the position of the engine it won’t come out. In other models it comes out very easy
    3
  1956. The water pump doesn’t have an interval to replace. If it leaks or makes noise, replace it otherwise if it ain’t broke don’t fix it
    3
  1957. I am yet to see a thermostat fail on a 2GR that’s why they’re not commonly replaced
    3
  1958. Hi! It could be normal. The only thing I would do is clean the throttle body
    3
  1959. I would use one every time. I use an EZRED ms4000. You can find it on amazon
    3
  1960. Amedeo Bafadl not really. Don’t put too much cleaner on. Preferably wet a small shop rag with the cleaner and wipe it down. When you open the flap of the throttle don’t do it with force move it slowly and hold it open and clean it. Make sure the key is off and out of the ignition when you do so.
    3
  1961. Thank you for watching and subscribing!
    3
  1962. It really depends. I’d start with replacing the belt and while the belt is out spin all the idler pulley and water pump to check them. The water pump could have side to side play so check that as well
    3
  1963. Yes it does. Cleaning the throttle plate is good practice for all Toyota models.
    3
  1964. Hi! You can clean it without removing it
    3
  1965. Thank you for watching my videos Danny! My pleasure to help! Have a blessed weekend.
    3
  1966. Hi! Honestly with older timing belts it’s 50/50. Some of them look new and some develop cracks as they get older. I would replace it after 10 years and make sure you replace the water pump as well.
    3
  1967. It does work in some cases when there’s actual carbon build up. Try it and see if that’s the case or not.
    3
  1968. Hi! Thank you for watching my videos! Your highlander does have a transmission filter however it’s not a serviceable part. You can replace it but really will not gain much as it’s not common practice to replace it. I would change the transmission fluid every 60k miles or 6 years and that would be it for transmission maintenance.
    3
  1969. Hi! The original one is pretty expensive. I would buy aftermarket in this case but I would make sure it comes with some kind of warranty in case you get issues with it
    3
  1970. It's located under the back seat and if you wait until Friday I will release the video that walks you through how to clean the filter step by step for your car! It's already filmed and almost done editing!
    3
  1971. Hi! If you drive it daily or every few days a few miles that should be enough. Repeated storage of over 1 month could affect the battery life long term
    3
  1972. Hi! The warranty doesn’t cover maintenance on the battery. I would consider doing the maintenance yourself
    3
  1973. I wouldn’t worry about brakes unless they are worn or completely rusted. Head gasket issues were limited to 2010-2011 on 3rd gen prius
    3
  1974. Hi! It’s a paper filter on your highlander. Service is as needed. I would check it every few months
    3
  1975. Hi! Checking the individual cells is not something that needs to be done. The computer monitors the cells and if there’s any issues warning lights will come on. But if you’re buying a new hybrid you won’t have to worry about the battery for at least the length of the warranty which is 10 years 150k miles in the US
    3
  1976. Thank you for watching my video. I would consider a gasoline one. The gas savings and the potential long term battery issues will not justify the extra cost you’d have to pay to buy the hybrid model.
    3
  1977. The difference in batteries has to do with their use. The RAV4 hybrids battery is a typical hybrid battery however the one in the prime can be charged to drive pure electric up to 42 miles. So it’s a bigger capacity battery. Lithium ion batteries are better than NiMH batteries as they don’t develop battery memory for example. Newer hybrids will start coming out with lithium ion batteries. Regarding American VS Japanese made that was true in the 90s not anymore. People will argue this point but it’s not true. Actually I’d rather buy North American made first they’re fresh out of the factory and didn’t spend sometime in a Container in the sea and they are made by my fellow hard working North Americans. 🇺🇸 🇲🇽 🇨🇦
    3
  1978. Hey brother! How are you doing? Thanks for watching the video! I’m glad it’s helpful! On the ES300h 19-20 the filter vent is underneath the back seat more towards the passenger side. I’d say low temps will not affect the battery significantly but if stored outside for long periods of time it could have a negative effect. Extreme heat has more affect on it than extreme cold.
    3
  1979. I would check it monthly if it’s clean then switch it to every 3 months then 6 months
    3
  1980. Hi! If in the winter you are driving the car but less you are good with a hybrid. The batteries don’t do well with repeated storage of 1 month and more. Otherwise you’re good
    3
  1981. Hi! In your scenario it should be ok. If the car sits for 6 months without a single drive every year then it becomes an issue over time
    3
  1982. Congratulations!
    3
  1983. I see. How often do you drive the car? Does it sit for long periods of time?
    3
  1984. I’m sorry your having issues with the dealership John. Have you tried contacting Lexus directly?
    3
  1985. I think the RAV4 prime is a great car that will take the awesome hybrid technology to the next level. Already did with the Prius prime but with the bigger car and longer range it’s even better.
    3
  1986. You can install a filter but if I were you I would clean the fan first then install the filter. This way you know the fan is clean and the filter will catch all future debris.
    3
  1987. I will be filming videos for individual models on how clean and replace them as cars are available for me
    3
  1988. I would add fluid until it overflows. It’s not going to cause immediate problems but a low level could cause inadequate cooling and lubricating for the moving parts and can cause issues long term. But short term you should be ok.
    3
  1989. Hi! If your mechanic filled the fluid until it overflows then the level is correct. If not I would go back and correct the level
    3
  1990. Thank you serhii for bringing the car to have this video filmed and for your help!
    3
  1991. Hi! This video is exclusive to hybrids. Non hybrid differential would use gear oil which is a lot thicker. Regarding the fluid, changing old fluid could damage the clutches and cause slipping. If the fluid is changed on time it’s ok but if it’s a lot overdue it could cause actually damage not good.
    3
  1992. Hi! It’s not the same but similar and will have a similar procedure
    3
  1993. Hi! You’ll want to use 4 jack stands for this job. No real way around it unfortunately.
    3
  1994. On hybrids the tolerance for the level is generous so it doesn’t matter the fluid temperature
    3
  1995. The hybrid transmission doesn’t have wet clutches. And as flagmichael mentioned it doesn’t have a torque converter which is the biggest heat generator in a conventional automatic transmission
    3
  1996. Hi! You can shine a light on the dipstick and you’ll see the reflection on the oil
    3
  1997. Thank you for watching my videos! I don’t have much experience with Nissan hybrids honestly. But if the original drain plug doesn’t have a magnet I wouldn’t add one.
    3
  1998. With recalls they will always install an updated part to fix the issue that causes the recall.
    3
  1999. If it’s just hunting for gears that is normal for these transmissions and not a problem. If it’s making whining noises or hard shifting into drive that is a problem.
    3
  2000. That’s exactly my point. Oil is cheap and engines are expensive why take a chance
    3
  2001. You’re welcome. It will stay like this you’ll see.
    3
  2002. Hi! You can go to techinfo.Toyota.com to purchase access to the official repair and service manual for any Toyota model.
    3
  2003. I don’t think you should! The newest highlander came out in 2020 and usually with new models the first has a few issues here and there but the highlander has been solid with zero issues. I wouldn’t worry at all
    3
  2004. That’s typical of some dealerships. You could actually tell them specifically to go to engine —> utility —> reset memory then drive it for 20 minutes at city speeds around 30-40 mph and that’s it.
    3
  2005. Hi! I don’t know any. Here they rusted so bad even junkyards got rid of them
    3
  2006. Not all will leak. Some will. If buying one id check it, if it’s not leaking I’m not worried.
    3
  2007. Thank you for your comment. I am not ashamed of working on products made by a great company like Toyota. And never will be. They’re not perfect but they are definitely better than a lot of their competitors. Have a nice day.
    3
  2008. Honestly I would go for it if you like the car. It’s a very nice car and at 2021 model everything is already taken care of. This is a very nice driving car from a company that stands behind their products. If you are worried still consider buying an extended warranty that covers everything to have piece of mind. Negotiate hard on the price of the car and on any additional item you buy with it. Make sure you take your time on your test drive. If you’re not sure find a rental and rent it for a few days if you have doubts. You can’t go wrong buying a Camry. Any other competitor from another manufacturer will be worse or perhaps close to the reliability of the Camry. They might have nicer features or maybe drive better but the Camry is built to be as reliable as modern cars can be. Best of luck with your purchase and I hope to hear that you are happy with your first brand new car.
    3
  2009. Hi! I would have the dealership check on the TSB. They have to check the current software version in the car vs the latest to be sure.
    3
  2010. Thanks! I thought a lot about the hybrid models and how to integrate them in this video but honestly they’ve been solid for this model so really have zero issues to report
    3
  2011. Hi! Premium fuel is not good quality fuel. It just has higher octane. High quality fuel can be top tier fuel for example.
    3
  2012. I do. I particularly like the hybrid model. The steering is a bit too light for my taste but overall it’s a lot of car for the price.
    3
  2013. Hi! The 6 speed is good all around. The 8 speed has an odd shifting pattern where it shifts a lot. But problem wise they got much better after 2018
    3
  2014. Hi! Yes there’s a software update for the DCM to resolve this issue
    3
  2015. Hi! When buying from a Toyota dealership or especially a CPO a pre purchase inspection is already done. You could ask for an inspection but they’ll just print their techs inspection that’s already been done. New car dealership won’t risk their reputation to sell a flawed car. Buying a CPO I wouldn’t worry as it comes with a warranty anyway anything you find take it back
    3
  2016. The newer Toyota models has the brake hood function. You do have to turn it on everytime but it’s there. Some models it’s an option so make sure you ask for it. It’s called brake hold and it should have a button near the parking brake release with the words HOLD
    3
  2017. Depends on the year. The early ones had a few issues but the later ones are better. Also too new to tell but I’d put it at 6-7 until a few more years pass and if it holds like it is not perhaps a 7-8
    3
  2018. @bboucharde no need for apologies! It’s all good! Any chance I can take a peek at your comparison? Love to read your perspective. Thank you for watching my videos and bringing the deleted comment to my attention. I see comments get posted then deleted I assumed it’s the person who posted the comment deleted them. It’s my channels policy to respond to every comment or at least read it. If it’s a negative one I’ll either respond or not. Everyone is entitled to their opinion even if it’s against me and I respect that.
    3
  2019. 😂 I’m not gonna just tell you it’s a money pit! I actually tested it. And yep if neglected it really is
    3
  2020. Hi! Samsclub and costco fuel is good. That jerk it could be because the transmission is too cold. I’d give the car a minute or two to warm up before taking off.
    3
  2021. Hi! Your 2004-2006 will have a timing belt 2007 and up has a chain. On the chain ones you don’t have to do anything. The timing it’s hard to put an exact figure because of parts prices but it’s a 6 hour job for everything. Labor rate per hour for dealerships varies by area in Chicago it’s around 140-150 per hour. Figure another 400-500 in original parts at full price. Many variables that would change the price dramatically. Original vs aftermarket parts. Original parts with discounts….etc
    3
  2022. Hi! Could be a tire with a shifted belt, rotate the tires and see if it changes. Also could be a bent wheel. And lastly could be a bent or out of balance axle.
    3
  2023. Hi Ahmad! These issues applied to all 2GR-FEs but for some (good) reason I’ve never seen a Camry 2GR with the rattling issue. The vvti supply line is located on the front of the engine behind the mount at the top near the coolant reservoir. If you look down you’ll see a line going from the rear valve cover and then it curves and goes down behind a cover. If you can’t find it take a picture of the drive belt area of your engine and email it I’ll point it out. You don’t have an oil cooler line so you’re good on the 2nd line. To replace the line with a metal one you’ll have to remove the power steering pump not drain the fluid just loosen it and push it out of the way remove the cover on the line with 2 10mm bolts then another 10mm bolt holding the line to the front cover. 2 17mm banjo bolts and it’s out. On the banjo bolt at the top there’s a small filter that you gotta fish out as it always gets stuck you could break it if you don’t remove it and install it on the banjo bolt. If you’re planning to do this send me your vin I’ll get you all the part nos for the line and gaskets.
    3
  2024. It’s likely a wheel bearing as I mentioned in the video.
    3
  2025. They are good vans as long they are taken care of. They have their issues but overall they are good as far as minivans go. Here’s a video with more details on that model https://youtu.be/BSI_iA6I4_4
    3
  2026. Not exactly. The point of this is to know about the leaks and if you’re buying one not buy one that’s leaking everywhere and if you own one you can be aware of the leaks if present and make the best decision. Some of the leaks you could live with without any problems but some of them could cause damage to the engine and you’d want to take care of them. Here’s a similar video for the newer van https://youtu.be/BSI_iA6I4_4
    3
  2027. The original radiator has been updated since but any comparable good quality aftermarket will also be good.
    3
  2028. It’s somewhat common. Cars that are maintained usually have a lesser chance of getting this issue. Some of them have the oil cooler line let go then they run dry on oil but recover once you fill them but now the gears are damaged and they stay rattling.
    3
  2029. I’m sorry to hear that. I would actually flush the transmissions and cooling system in this case. But first drain and fill the transmission with fresh fluid then flush it to minimize contamination. I’d follow it up with another flush in a few days. Coolant has a terrible effect on transmission clutches which could be permanent so getting all the coolant out of the transmission is very important. On the cooling system the damage is not severe or permanent. You might still have a milkshake looking coolant which you’d just replace again and be good.
    3
  2030. Hi! It should be non interference.
    3
  2031. The 2007 seemed to have more vvti rattle problems
    3
  2032. 3.3L vvti is interference. 3.0 1MZ non vvti is non interference
    3
  2033. I wouldn’t add stop leak. You’re better off leaving it leak than add stop leak
    3
  2034. Hi! I would clean the battery fan but not the egr. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. And yes on the plugs and coolant
    3
  2035. Hi! It’s possible if the battery is getting too hot
    3
  2036. They’re very good as well.
    3
  2037. Hi’ yes I do recommend it for the Prius as well.
    3
  2038. Hi! You want to really read into the owners manual and maintenance booklet to understand what needs to be done and when. Also the additional services that dealerships recommend you want to look into them and understand what needs done and what doesn’t.
    3
  2039. Honestly at this mileage I would live with it. The tank is a bit pricey for the 2nd gen
    3
  2040. Hi! They are both solid honestly reliability wise
    3
  2041. Japanese made.
    3
  2042. Hi! Look for a 2005-2008 corolla. They’re really good. I am Christian
    3
  2043. Hi! Video coming soon. The ct200 is good after 2014
    3
  2044. Hi! On the corolla I wouldn’t worry as they were almost trouble free
    3
  2045. It does say use in well ventilated areas which the shop is with the ventilation fan running frequently
    3
  2046. Hi! Thank you! Been using this cleaner for years. Used to it at this point
    3
  2047. Floor video is coming up… we have some issues
    3
  2048. Your RAV4 has the D4S so 4 port injectors and 4 direct injectors
    3
  2049. I’d say most if not all are pretty reliable when compared to others. With good maintenance and care they’ll easily last a long time. The 4Runner is a stand out for reliability of the fleet. The Prius for how complicated it is, it’s pretty reliable as well. Most of Toyota models have a few quirks here and there but overall very reliable cars.
    3
  2050. Yeah that’s one that still has a normal size!
    3
  2051. Yes recently a new fix has been issued for that. Contact your Toyota dealership for Information
    3
  2052. Hi! Not an option I am aware of as they consider this a safety option
    3
  2053. Thank you for watching my videos!Some tundra videos are planned starting with their common issues and a buying guide
    3
  2054. Hi! That sound is the brake booster pressurizing the fluid and it’s totally normal.
    3
  2055. The ac compressor varies and also can come on and off depends on running condition.
    3
  2056. Thank you for watching my video! So the fuel injection cleaning could be useful in certain cases. Here’s a video that I made with more information on this subject https://youtu.be/4WE1cQDnOQw
    3
  2057. Congratulations on your hybrid purchase! What’d you get?
    3
  2058. Thank you for watching my video. The battery can handle cold temperature as long as it’s not parked for a very long time without being driven in the cold.
    3
  2059. I hear you. I remember the first time I heard that noise I thought that’s gonna the first thing to go lol but I suppose for safety it’s not a terrible idea but a better sound might’ve been better
    3
  2060. There’s no direct link between the two honestly. The head gasket issue remains a mystery without direct explanation. I recently had a 2010 Prius with over 130k with the original EGR valve and all EGR components that is very clean and no issues with EGR. People that fix them DIY also are not aware that there’s a software update that greatly reduces the chances of this issue happening again
    3
  2061. dhg111 interesting. I would hesitate if theres no concern or they can’t show you. Do your research and if it’s something important then take care of it.
    3
  2062. Depends on what you want to get out of this car. If you want an extremely nice car with Camry or corolla ownership cost then go with the LS430. If you want reliability but want more features and more modern equipment and don’t mind some expensive repairs as it gets older go with the LS460. If reliability is not a high requirement and you want the absolute best driving sedan and the most opulent then go with the S class. But just know the ownership costs of the S class will likely be double, triple or more that of both Lexus models in a span of 10 years
    3
  2063. I wouldn’t unless the screen have issues. Everything is possible
    3
  2064. Hi! If you focus on reliability I would go with the Lexus without a doubt. The Mercedes will drive nicer and have nicer features but reliability Lexus is leaps and bounds ahead
    3
  2065. Happy Easter!
    3
  2066. Hi! Cost is everything honestly. And without complicated VVTi all manufacturers would still have belts.
    3
  2067. Hi! Some things are more expensive than say a corolla but it’s no where near what you’d spend on a similar age bmw or mercedes
    3
  2068. They’re great cars! A bit too floaty is about the only thing about them but reliability and quality is great
    3
  2069. Yes it is
    3
  2070. I would let him if he wants to take that hut don’t trade the Avalon try to keep it for another family member or even yourself as those are hard to come by in good shape
    3
  2071. Hi! Very similar
    3
  2072. It is underneath the intake manifold
    3
  2073. Historically they’ve kept parts for older cars available. When you get into the 25 year range is when things start to drop off
    3
  2074. Hi! It helps keep noise down. I wouldn’t remove them
    3
  2075. Very nice cars but somewhat hard to find in good condition or not modified. Find one that’s taken care of and it’s at the level of the LS430
    3
  2076. They’re ok but watch out for ones that are neglected
    3
  2077. This camera is on its last leg. We’re looking at other models and hopefully upgrading soon
    3
  2078. Hi! Nothing. Perhaps a bit more noise. And the Lexus ES350 is nice I have a review video on it
    3
  2079. Hi! Just under 2 gallons. Have 2 at hand
    3
  2080. Normally on toyota and Lexus they can last the life of the car
    3
  2081. Hi! You can get generic clips from Amazon they come in a kit or buy them from the dealership
    3
  2082. Thank you for watching my channel! Working on the emails hard! A couple of hundred left to catch up on and yours is one of them!
    3
  2083. Awesome! I’m glad it’s fixed!
    3
  2084. Thank you for watching my video! If it ain’t broke don’t fix it!
    3
  2085. Hi! The only thing I can think of is the leak was a valve that was sticking and when they serviced it the valve got unstuck and now it’s not leaking anymore
    3
  2086. Yes it’s good. We’ve used that on various cars and has no issues.
    3
  2087. The first generation tundras didn’t come with a cabin filter. Wouldn’t hurt to run a cleaner through the ac system
    3
  2088. Hi! While I cannot promise anything but I’ll see what information I can find out. I get a lot of comments everyday, send me an email with more information like the year and perhaps engine name and I’ll see what I can find
    3
  2089. I would still use 5W30 regardless
    3
  2090. Hi! Hybrids have actually less maintenance than a conventional gasoline car. Only additional item is the hybrid cooling system. Perhaps I’ll make a specific video on hybrids in the future. Thank you for watching and for your suggestion.
    3
  2091. Video is planned for spring time/summer
    3
  2092. Hi! Honestly we’ve used 75w85 and every 80w90 and had no issues at all.
    3
  2093. You’re welcome
    3
  2094. Any fluid with the right weight and specification will work in the case of the manual transmission.
    3
  2095. Any AC service to flush or “service” it is a gimmick. If it’s working and the pressure readings are normal I wouldn’t do anything to it. It’s not a maintenance item.
    3
  2096. Hi! The differential and transmission fluid is the same on that model. If you replace the transmission fluid you also replace the differential
    3
  2097. For the limited slip as long as it specifically states that it’s for limited slip diffs then you’re good
    3
  2098. Personal opinion I’ve owned a beautiful 2008 Avalon limited for about 4 months. I do a lot of highway driving and the steering wheel feel and me were not getting along too well. It feels super floaty at highway speeds. Otherwise I like how refined they are. They even feel more solid and quieter than the newer body stule
    3
  2099. That is also fine no problem as long as you’re not overpaying for it.
    3
  2100. Yes basically. We’ve used GL5 and that’s what most Toyota’s require.
    3
  2101. Hi! Just ask them to replace the fluids. Especially the first replacement is a very good idea.
    3
  2102. I would change it anywhere between 30k and 60k no real time interval specified but I’d say around 5-7 years is where I feel comfortable change it if the miles are not there.
    3
  2103. Hi! There’s no real interval for these. Typically every 5 years or 50k miles is what the industry average is but honestly I would look at the fluid. If it’s clear and clean I would leave it alone
    3
  2104. Email me your wiper sizes and give me a few days I’ll give you the size that fits and from which car so you can get them
    3
  2105. Hi! 30-50k miles is good
    3
  2106. You did real good with that engine choice. That’s one of the most robust engines Toyota makes today. Iron block and seriously bulletproof. Worst case scenario with that engine when it has serious miles is a valve cover gasket a $20 part and a 15 minute job. And the absolute worse case scenario a water pump. So a 20 minute job. You’re gonna have this engine and that truck for a long time.
    3
  2107. Hi! Thank you for watching my channel. On your rav4 hybrid I would change the transmission and differential fluid every 60-90k miles and nothing special about them just a drain and fill. Very soon I will have a video on both with all details and the procedure.
    3
  2108. Hi! Yes every 30k
    3
  2109. Yes miles
    3
  2110. Thank you for watching my video! I’m with you actually on this one. If you’re doing the work yourself why not. But if you’re paying 175-250 for a brake flush too regular you’ll end up paying to rebuild the whole brake system after everything is said and done. That’s why I encourage people to do their own work like yourself. When doing the work yourself it will cost you peanuts compared to paying full labor at a shop.
    3
  2111. Glad I could help!
    3
  2112. Hi Eric! Brake fluid absorbs moisture and starts corroding things. If moisture content is good no need to replace it then.
    3
  2113. Thank you for watching hector! That’s a very good suggestion that I will definitely look into and add to the list of videos to make! Thank you for the suggestions and subscribing.
    3
  2114. Hi my brother! Synthetic dot 3/4 is good. I would only replace the brakes that are low and need replacement there’s no need to replace both front and back at the same time. Usually on highlanders around 40-60k is average
    3
  2115. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. If the moisture content in the brake fluid is not high why is it getting replaced?
    3
  2116. Yeah they usually look good when you pull them out indicating the engine is in good shape
    3
  2117. Hi! Possibly it would be trial and error by trying different brands
    3
  2118. It happens. They’re essentially the same plug made by 2 manufacturers.
    3
  2119. Ron and Cheryl Imken the spark plugs on your highlander are 120k or 10 years, either the previous owner was gouged by the dealership or they felt better about replacing them then. I would check one of the plugs if it’s iridium then I wouldn’t worry about it until 120k from the last replacement mileage. Regarding the fluids the differential fluid usually is recommended by most dealers at 30k but from experience you can stretch that even up to 60k. The transmission fluid is recommended every 60k or 6 years. The maintenance in your current highlander is likely going to be less than your previous one. I’ll be starting a series in the near future about Toyota scan tool and how you can get one cheap that will help with the smart key programming.
    3
  2120. Replacing it every 3 years is not a bad idea. Especially if you’re doing the work yourself. Brake fluid is cheap.
    3
  2121. On the map light area. There’s a button for the SOS when the car is running there should be a green light that’s on. Is it on? I show a picture of it in the video
    3
  2122. Yes that’s not an issue with hybrids. Disconnect the 12v battery either under the hood on some models or in the trunk or hatch area in others that are affected by this
    3
  2123. Agreed. I think the GS is a very good model
    3
  2124. Hi! Both are very very similar SUVs. The Lexus will have nicer materials and be quieter. Reliability wise they are very similar
    3
  2125. Hi! They are reliable however cost of ownership is higher.
    3
  2126. Scion I hope is next after Lexus!
    3
  2127. Hi! It’s exactly the same
    3
  2128. And I didn’t mention the part where the oil separator case snaps off clean because the valves been there too long
    3
  2129. Hi! Much simpler. On top of the front valve cover. Should take 2 minutes to replace
    3
  2130. Hi! Unless you have a leaking intake manifold gasket then or you’re doing a knock sensor for example then no there’s no benefit.
    3
  2131. Hi! No it’s not the same. You’ll need to remove the intake for that one
    3
  2132. No she likes to stay behind the scenes
    3
  2133. I think that’s a very good price actually. These trucks hold their value very well.
    3
  2134. Google translate time 😂 😆
    3
  2135. Thank you for your comment. This video was made for consumers and mostly DIY mechanics. Not everyone would have the equipment or the facility to be testing each 10 dollar part they buy online. They just want to make sure it’s genuine. And the easiest way is to look at the part itself. Testing would be a good idea if comparing original to aftermarket. But when you have a counterfeit part that’s posing as an original testing is out of the question. If it’s not a genuine spare part it’s out in my book. In your example the up arrow is actually important and not a marketing or packaging print. And I can comfortable tell you that every single original Toyota cabin filter will have the up arrow. There’s one car that’s different which is 2003-2008 corollas which will have and you arrow and insert this direction as well. The information above is not information I pulled off a book or heard or read somewhere. This is information I gathered through a long career working exclusively on Toyota , Lexus and scion products. Have a nice day.
    3
  2136. Dealerships will typically not risk a law suit and even Toyota pulling their franchise by using counterfeit parts. No harm in asking for your old parts in the new part box to have peace of mind.
    3
  2137. Thank you for support the channel Micah!
    3
  2138. I was contemplating a series on how to become a Toyota mechanic. Definitely on the list and coming in the future.
    3
  2139. I would carefully inspect them. If they look legit then they probably are. Wouldn’t hurt to buy an original one from the dealership to compare
    3
  2140. Happy holidays Zach!
    3
  2141. For some reason Lexus going into Toyota requires you to retake your hybrid certifications which makes no sense since they’re the same but that’s how it is. It seems the transition from Toyota to Lexus is more straight forward then the transition from Lexus to Toyota
    3
  2142. Hi! I am still working at a Toyota dealership
    3
  2143. Thank you! In the future we’ll add one. There’s some environmental concerns about parts washer that I’m taking into consideration
    3
  2144. Hi! Yes everything toyota, Lexus and scion
    3
  2145. Toyota never had issues with fuel pumps in the past. They had a manufacturing issue which they are taking care of. Once the fuel pump is replaced you should have no issue. I wouldn’t let that fact be an issue in your car shopping
    3
  2146. That’s a very good question. Honestly the ones that I’ve replaced didn’t look worn. It seems like the only concern is the noise not really that the bushing is going to wear prematurely. I would keep spraying it and visually inspect the bushing in case it starts showing separation which I doubt.
    3
  2147. You never bother me. Let’s check a few things. The noise could be coming from various locations so let’s try a few. First check all exhaust shields try to move the exhaust and see if you hear the same noise. We’ve had some issues with exhaust manifold shields making noise. Also check for loose items in the back. Then check your rear license plate. If it’s loose try to secure it as it could also make a similar noise.
    3
  2148. No they don’t apply. The 2020 model has been holding up well with no problem patterns yet that I have seen.

  2149. Thank you for your comment! So yes the 2020 highlander will have the exact same drive train as the 2019 with slight improvements if anything. And the chassis is all new for the highlander platform but this same platform was debuted in 2016 so most of the issues are resolved at this point. Usually my advice is not to buy the first 3 months production of a new model that’s when most of the small annoying issues will be if any. Toyota is very good about their post model launch activity and they’re on top of issues usually. The 2020 highlander has been a quiet launch so far no big issues but again it hasn’t been a strong year due to the pandemic. Compare that to 2017 model launch I’d say the 2020 is doing pretty good. Just when you shop around for any new car at this time make sure you’re not buying old stock at regular price. Due to the pandemic a lot of cars sat on dealer lots for a very long time. On the door jamb of the drivers door on every Toyota you’ll find the production date on the upper right corner of the sticker month and year. Try not to buy one that’s older than 3 months.

  2150. Hi! That would be a later 2018. Early 2018 models were made in the later part of 2017
    3
  2151. Thank you for watching my videos! A later 2018 highlander will be good. If it’s bought from a Toyota dealership they could show you the service history if it was dealer maintained and in the US they can’t sell you a car with an open recall.
    3
  2152. Hi sheron. Don’t worry. The ones that are affected had a very generous extended warranty so you’re covered if you have issues and if yours is a later build 2018 then you already have the updated transmission and you got nothing to worry about. Call your dealership and inquire about any extended policy on the transmission or email me your vin and I’ll check.
    3
  2153. I wouldn’t. Most of these leaked when they were newer but if it didn’t leak at this mileage likely it will be ok
    3
  2154. I think the 4th gen hybrid is actually pretty impressive. Better gas mileage and a lot more technology both in the hybrid system and the car itself. An extended warranty is always a good idea hybrid or not as long as it’s a good price. The rear differential on hybrids is unique to hybrids and not shared with gasoline models. On the extended warranty always negotiate the price when buying one. Everything from the price of the car to the extended warranty is negotiable.
    3
  2155. Hi! I wouldn’t. The transmission issues and leaks if not there already at this age and mileage likely you won’t have them. The transmission does have an extended warranty from Toyota so you are covered for a lot longer.
    3
  2156. And highlanders in the 2014-2019 no year to avoid they are all good. Just make sure they are maintained well and preferably no major accidents.
    3
  2157. Thank you! A Toyota extended warranty is always a good idea and if you know your cars common issue which now you do after watching this video the warranty will pay for itself!
    3
  2158. On the 4Runner I would go 4WD as the resale value will be much higher because of its off road capabilities.
    3
  2159. Hi! Thank you for watching my videos! I do have Patreon.com/thecarcarenut Honestly in Georgia I would get fwd. no need for the extra expense.
    3
  2160. I don’t know about honda buy the highlander and the RX are very reliable cars if taken care of
    3
  2161. Hi! Thank you for watching my channel! I wouldn’t be concerned. If you don’t have issues you’re good. If you do just know that models affected have a warranty extension that would cover you past the powertrain warranty on the transmission. Contact your dealership and inquire about the length of that warranty.
    3
  2162. Hi! On the door jamb sticker on the upper corner there’s a manufacturing month and year, early 2018 models are built in late 2017 so if it’s actually built in 2018 then it’s good
    3
  2163. Hi! On the pcv valve I wouldn’t replace again anytime soon. Usually every 120k miles or so is a good idea. On the transmission fluid I would consider replacing it
    3
  2164. Hi Tracy. Bumper to bumper traffic is best for flat EV mode. You’ll likely spend majority of it in EV mode and not even use the gasoline engine
    3
  2165. Hi! Modern cruise controls will actually coast well but it will not do Pulse and glide. It will just drive normally and at times not efficiently
    3
  2166. Hi! Water pump video hopefully coming soon
    3
  2167. What I film in the video is not the whole inspection otherwise I’d be a 2 hour video. Transmission is good. Fluid is questionable if it’s been replaced but at this point I wouldn’t want to recommend replacement. Engine oil is clean.
    3
  2168. That was something I want to revisit. Only had access to this one for a short time. I’ll cover it in the future
    3
  2169. Hi! New model problems that’s why I recommend you wait 6 months
    3
  2170. The 300 series land cruiser will have a few things shared with this tundra.
    3
  2171. I hear you. 0w20 and same 10k for the 1% and 5k for the 99%
    3
  2172. Unfortunately they’re not simple to remove. Either the engine or the cab has come out
    3
  2173. Exactly 😂
    3
  2174. Hi! You get used to the engine names working on them! If I can get a Lexus NX hybrid I’ll do a video on it
    3
  2175. I haven’t heard anything confirmed but my guess would be the tacoma and 4runner
    3
  2176. That is something I’ve looked into. A bit on the expensive side and we’re going into summer so we might need to hold for a bit
    3
  2177. We’re hoping the first or second week of June
    3
  2178. Thank you! Actually it’s not confusing and is a version of what we plan to do! 3 computers total
    3
  2179. Thank you! I’m still actually at the dealership until the shop opens. We’ll start small and see how things go in the future
    3
  2180. All mechanics complain about snap on prices but secretly we all love ‘em!
    3
  2181. Hi! You cannot even with the toyota official scan tool
    3
  2182. Hi! The xtool a30M should be able to do that and is within your price range. A bit slow and does use your cellphone for an app but it does work well
    3
  2183. Ha you caught it! Testing different release days and 3 videos a week. Tomorrow video is ready to go.
    3
  2184. Hi! We’re back this weekend! Took a small break to catch up.
    3
  2185. I store it in the case in my tool box that’s why i liked the case. But I see other techs throw the box because of its sizeS
    3
  2186. Hi! They are good trucks in 2022. Maintenance is key to keeping it long.
    3
  2187. Hi! Honestly I wouldn’t replace anything unless there’s issues. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it
    3
  2188. You should never gap iridium plugs as that damages the iridium tip.
    3
  2189. Hi john. Here’s a video I did on the older 3.5 v6 and the new v6 coming soon https://youtu.be/ING-RK7NJ-c
    3
  2190. Most of the time anti seize actually end up causing seizing because of the high temperature. If Toyota didn’t use it at the factory and the plugs come out when replaced at the right interval, I wouldn’t use it.
    3
  2191. If it’s the A25 should be 120k or 10 years
    3
  2192. Hi! They’re good but I would still use oem plugs
    3
  2193. Hi! You can as long as it’s heat resistant and won’t become a fire hazard
    3
  2194. It’s really a nice feeling to work in a clean place. I’ll try my best to keep it the way it is now.
    3
  2195. I would love to see it. Call the shop or send a request through the website and lets get it in for a video.
    3
  2196. Hi Peter. It’s working for me? Try refreshing the app or the page
    3
  2197. Hi! Fluid film really works well in blocking the rust and really slowing it down. It will last a long time. It will have some rust but not enough to cause rotting and holes in the frame
    3
  2198. 😂 they didn’t break because the wire harness is 8 months old
    3
  2199. Hi! It’s a mityvac brake bleeder
    3
  2200. I got my warranty from the dealership I bought it from. Every dealership will deal with some companies so it’s random. But the key is to look for what they cover and more importantly what they don’t cover.
    3
  2201. Thank you for watching my brother! It’s not bad in the snow as it’s AWD
    3
  2202. Soon I will be turning more Lexus content as cars become available. It’s harder to get demos for Lexus.
    3
  2203. Hi! A guesstimate would be around 9 hours of labor
    3
  2204. That’s a big red flag. You always can negotiate the price
    3
  2205. The most important and most expensive part ( battery )on the RAV4 prime has a very long warranty so I’m not too worried.
    3
  2206. I love your common sense approach and educated decision and I cannot agree with you more!
    3
  2207. Hi Tyler! On The windshield I would ask the dealership what company they deal with and call them directly. Going through the dealership will cost you a bit more and they don’t do windshields they sublet it to a glass company. Make sure whatever glass company you use is a reputable one because if they botch the job that could cause water leaks and you want a company that’s good that stand behind their work.
    3
  2208. They are very reliable honestly. Every Toyota has a few expensive parts if owners know about they’d be worried. If one out of 100,000 cars has an issue that doesn’t mean all of them are bad.
    3
  2209. Hi! If you’re keeping it 5 years I wouldn’t bother with an extended warranty as your factory warranty will carry you 3 years bumper to bumper and then your powertrain lasts the 5 years
    3
  2210. Hi Scott! If you’re going to buy a warranty I would get it from Toyota extra care. Most aftermarket warranties don’t cover most hybrid components.
    3
  2211. Hi brother! In my personal and professional opinion, age destroys cars more than mileage. Cars with higher mileage per year tend to hold better than cars that sit. So I’d go for the newer car with more miles than the older car with less miles for the same price. This is of course relating to Toyota products
    3
  2212. Thank you! I totally agree with you on the LS. I actually like the older ones better than the new ones
    3
  2213. Thank you! I love mk3 Supra and have owned a few in the past. I’d take the mr2 too!
    3
  2214. Hi! They typically hold up well with no known chronic issues.
    3
  2215. Hi! Of course. Email me with the subject Chicago service request
    3
  2216. Hi! Not an issue with the 4WD on these. Not using it for a few months is not an issue. Most people forget to use them and go 2-3 years without using them which is an issue
    3
  2217. Typically for Toyota they last the life of the car. And they’re also inexpensive replace it or swap another one out. Doubt there’s an issue
    3
  2218. Yes it would affect it. It’s either going to make it inaccurate or it will cause trouble codes and the systems get disabled. Depends on how extreme is the modification.
    3
  2219. So the sensor can tolerate some normal dirt from driving but heavy mud or salt build up could make it stop working. If driving in these conditions it would need to be manually cleaned
    3
  2220. Hi! I would go with the 2012 Camry for longevity. The 2011 Camry even though it appears to have the same engine had some oil burning issues if not maintained right so be careful with that. Another option is to look for a 2012-2014 Camry SE which will actually drive nicer than the LE and the SE in the previous generation If the 2011 has a very good service history showing oil changes around 8000 kms then it’s ok otherwise I’d look at the LE or find an SE to satisfy both better improved version and your liking of the way it drives
    3
  2221. Thank you the cost to replace it varies by model but some of them are over 1000 dollars and most of them hover around 700-900 dollars new
    3
  2222. They are really similar in technology and equally reliable. I would go with what fits your budget and what you like more.
    3
  2223. Hi! The dealership won’t be able to calibrate it as the car is lifted. However if you have no warning lights or issues I would leave it as is
    3
  2224. The issue is almost always the intake unless the engine ran out of oil before then it’s both
    3
  2225. Hi! They are the same
    3
  2226. The V35A has been out since 2018 not much reported as far as issues. I would wait for the new tundra to come out. Wait at least 6 months before considering buying one
    3
  2227. Hi! They’re all the same honestly. The later ones seem a bit better like 2010 and up
    3
  2228. Hi! It’s hard to tell at older age but if it ain’t broke don’t fix it and don’t worry about I’d say
    3
  2229. Tried it on this engine and the previous one, they just don’t like the vacuum coolant filler and still have issues with no heat and sudden overheating
    3
  2230. Hi! I would wait for the new one. Honestly the 2021 land cruiser shows it’s age and for the price it makes sense to wait for the updated version
    3
  2231. Hi! Yes a series for the tundra is in the works and coming in the near future
    3
  2232. Maintenance mainly. Spark plugs coolant wouldn’t hurt. Brake fluid if the moisture content is high
    3
  2233. Hi! I would walk away. Replacing a frame is never a one shot deal. Many other things will need replacing. The newer ones are good just make sure you don’t buy a rusty one
    3
  2234. Hi! I can and it’s planned! Once the new tundra is out I’ll do an in depth look at it
    3
  2235. Hi! The ones that leak oil from the front cover is a production one. Can’t prevent it but it will also happen under warranty. On the 2021 though things improvement a lot on both the oil and coolant leaks
    3
  2236. Hi! Look by the area where the power steering pump is and below it. Usually you’ll see a large amount of oil leaking if there’s an issue.
    3
  2237. Hi! I wouldn’t. The first time you have to “wash” one you’ll know why :-)
    3
  2238. Hi! Not yet. I like to do videos on products that are out and all relevant technical information is available which on the tundra it’s not yet
    3
  2239. Thank you for watching my channel Greg! I hear you on the 1KD wish they’d bring it over
    3
  2240. Hi! It has around 169k miles
    3
  2241. Experience honestly. Working on so many toyota and Lexus models over the years they all have the same designs. Same bolts for the air bags that are different. Same bolts for the radio which are different. Trim screws are all the same except the steering column
    3
  2242. Hi! If work is done right and using good parts you won’t have issues with warranty. Document your work that you do and keep recipes just in case.
    3
  2243. Hi Jesse. I’m doing well. Loosing a father is hard but he was not doing well towards the end so he’s resting in peace now. On the oil. If it’s not burning oil and seems happy I wouldn’t change a thing. Keep using the same conventional oil.
    3
  2244. Always fun when that happens.
    3
  2245. Very possible it’s an idler or could be an alternator as well. I have a video on how to diagnose both issues
    3
  2246. I personally wouldn’t. Plugs are very easy to replace on this engine id just change them every 30k and call it a day
    3
  2247. Power stop makes decent remans just make sure nothing leaks from where the brake connects after replacement. They do go heavy on the paint sometimes
    3
  2248. Road salt use is what destroys the frames not really the snow. I would coat the frame with fluid film them every year reapply and touch it up and you won’t have issues
    3
  2249. 😂 Thabn you! Have a good weekend
    3
  2250. Hi! Yes the plan is to do a video on the coolant replacement. I’m looking for a car that needs coolant replacement to film with in the Chicago area
    3
  2251. Hi! Yes that is ok. I will have a video next week on how to replace the transmission fluid in hybrid transmissions.
    3
  2252. Honestly Jim I would leave it and not change it at this point.
    3
  2253. Hi! I would just drain and fill on coolant for toyota
    3
  2254. I would use bottled WS fluid. Some dealerships will sell compatible fluids which I don’t like.
    3
  2255. Hi! Honestly it’s a bit of a risk to do that. If you already have issues I would remove the pan clean the magnets and replace the filter and see if things improve
    3
  2256. Hi! I would change it every 60k miles. Just a drain and fill.
    3
  2257. Hi daniel! The yellow top bottle of pink coolant is the old stock. They changed it to the pink a while back. They are exactly the same if you still can find a yellow cap it’s probably older and has been sitting for a while which is not an issue as long as it’s sealed.
    3
  2258. Hello there! Yes draining and filling the coolant like you described is sufficient. You’d want to remove the under shield covers to expose the drain plug for the radiator which will be on the drivers side bottom of the radiator. If you want to make this mess free I recommend you buy a spill free funnel. Go to amazon it’s around 24 dollars highly recommended.
    3
  2259. Hi! It takes pink coolant and you’re not due for coolant replacement. I would replace it at 50k or 5 years
    3
  2260. On your Prius the fluid is usually recommended between 60-90k because unlike a conventional automatic transmission it doesn’t have the same strains of heat and friction. Having said that you will likely notice anything different after replacing the fluid. You are replacing the fluid to refresh it and keep it from causing issues. The transmission fluid change on your Prius shouldn’t be very expensive unlike a normal automatic transmission
    3
  2261. Hi! I wouldn’t mix the two. Flush the cooling system then switch to the pink one. Dextron 3 will work
    3
  2262. Hi johann! Thank you for watching my videos. Honestly I would replace it. If you’re doing the work yourself sure but the benefit in Toyota transmissions is not worth the work. I would just drain and fill it.
    3
  2263. Hello! I would get the cvt transmission fluid changed if you plan to keep this car for long so you wouldn’t have to worry about any issues with the transmission. Regarding the coolant I would add some pink coolant. Keep an eye one it, if it drops again you could have a leak somewhere. Although not as common as older models we’ve seen a small number of water pumps having a small leak.
    3
  2264. Hi! I wouldn’t replace the fluid on that mileage without a record of it being replaced before. You could cause more harm than good at this point
    3
  2265. Hi! I would drain and fill only and do it soon
    3
  2266. Hi! So allow me to clarify one thing. A sealed transmission is not a term used by manufacturers. That’s just a term that owners use. The transmission still has a vent. Replacing the fluid is a very good idea. On the IA use Mazda ATF not WS
    3
  2267. I would go for it. 5 years is what we recommend at work. The first change at 100k or 5 years then 50k or 5 years after that. Coolant is cheap
    3
  2268. If it’s just around. 100k you can replace it but do it sooner than later
    3
  2269. Hi! A drain and fill is safe. A flush if done right is also good
    3
  2270. Hi! Thank you for watching my channel. I personally would replace it every 6 months even if you’re not there by mileage.
    3
  2271. Thank you! I wondered about that as well and Toyota’s answer was the factory filled coolant is 100% new and when you replace your coolant there’s no way to get 100% of the coolant out so they shorten the interval.
    3
  2272. Hi! Typically around 50k miles is a good interval
    3
  2273. Hi! If you change it every 60k or 6 years you can continue to do so even with high mileage
    3
  2274. Hi! That’s a bit on the high side
    3
  2275. Hi! I would change the transmission fluid. The differential is part of the transmission so when you change the transmission fluid you are also changing the differential fluid.
    3
  2276. Hi! If you are sure there are no leaks it could be a head gasket issue
    3
  2277. Hi! They’re not out yet. I tend to not speak of cars that I haven’t put hands on as prototypes tend to change sometimes
    3
  2278. Hi! Honestly it won’t make a significant difference as it adds a little bit of power but also adds weight so it ends up the same. Buy AWD if you need it for snow driving otherwise FWD and save your money
    3
  2279. Call me old school but I sleep better at night when there’s a gasoline engine under the hood. Go Rav4 prime!
    3
  2280. Hi! You can jump start a hybrid from a hybrid but don’t jump start a non hybrid from a hybrid
    3
  2281. I personally like the new one better. TNGA really makes a big difference in the way it drives. Yes the V6 is missed but it’s still a very good van. The 2020 is very good as well.
    3
  2282. They can be a bit shaky when taking off as it switches modes
    3
  2283. Hybrid systems have proven well with high miles as I see from my experience with taxi cabs in Chicago. The brakes will last longer
    3
  2284. Hi! Hybrids are excellent for ride share like Uber.
    3
  2285. V6 hybrid doesn’t make sense as it doesn’t really get that good of gas mileage. It has 2 motors in the front and 1 in the back of its AWD. Basically the same as the first Toyota hybrid
    3
  2286. Homely I would pay for the oil changes at 5k
    3
  2287. Hi Rick! Thank you for watching my channel. There’s no concern at all using a Carwash that cleans/sprays underneath actually I encourage it! It washes off the salt. I too live in the salt area in Chicago and honestly on the newer cars they are well covered and applying rust protection is not as essential as the older ones but it wouldn’t hurt at all to do it.
    3
  2288. Hi! It does maintain that over a long period. It will use the engine to recharge the battery as well.
    3
  2289. It’s very simple actually! Takes 10 minutes and is very DIY friendly. I will have a video soon on this one
    3
  2290. I would test drive one to be sure
    3
  2291. Hybrids have eCVT which is nit the same as a regular CVt. CVTs on Toyotas don’t have as many issues
    3
  2292. Good catch on the bulb! I’ve been having issues with it flickering and not liking led bulbs. That thing is so old I’m looking into replacing it soon
    3
  2293. Agreed. However if there’s an issue with the car thats directly caused by this modification it will void it.
    3
  2294. Well I guess you won’t have to worry about warranty as You are the warranty 😂
    3
  2295. Hi! Unfortunately not that I know of. This is a subject I am revisiting soon possibly with a video
    3
  2296. If the fluid has been always replaced on time a flush is ok even at high mileage
    3
  2297. Hi! It’s virtually the same in neutral or park as far as transmission temperatures go
    3
  2298. Hi! It would be the same but the D light instead of the trans fluid temp
    3
  2299. Hi! It’s the same
    3
  2300. Hi! Yes it means 4th gear
    3
  2301. Leave it open in case you need to add fluid. Once the level is set reinstall it
    3
  2302. I am looking at different scan tools. I know scan gauge can get trans temperature
    3
  2303. Hi! Scangauge 2 seems to do the trick
    3
  2304. I wouldn’t replace it ever as long as the fluid is serviced on time.
    3
  2305. This is the basic idea. Transmissions have clutches. Clutches create some debris as they wear. This debris actually end up making its way back to the clutches and embed themselves to hold the clutch together as it wears with mileage. When you drain the old fluid completely you also drain this loose materials out and the new fluid has a fresh cleaning agent which kinda attacks the remaining particles and now the clutch that’s worn starts to slip. This is a very basic explanation of the negative effect. Doing a drain and fill ensures you have some cleaning additives to clean the valve body passages which get clogged by these clutch particles. But not too much fluid is replaced where the clutches are left hanging. I hope this makes sense
    3
  2306. Hi! From experience doing a flush at higher mileage could cause shifting issues. The theory behind it is this. Replacing the entire capacity of the transmission could affect the clutches negatively because fresh fluid has cleaning additives.
    3
  2307. Hi! I would replace them every 30k miles
    3
  2308. 99-111 is the temp range for your transmission.
    3
  2309. Hi! If the fluid is replaced on time you don’t need to replace the filtee
    3
  2310. Hi! I can do that. Email with Chicago service request on the subject
    3
  2311. Hi! Honestly at this point I’d leave it alone
    3
  2312. Hi! That’s actually correct. If you have more than 100k on the original fluid I’d leave it alone and hope for the best
    3
  2313. Without pressing the brake pedal press the start button twice and you’ll be in key on engine off
    3
  2314. If you don’t see it in that spot on the passenger side then it doesn’t have one and you’re good to go. If you want to be extra cautious. Do the procedure then a few days later double check the fluid level and add if needed
    3
  2315. Hi! Yes you can and I actually advise you to if you have doubts about the level. If the level is low you’ll have no fluid come out of the overflow plug. Then you’ll need to reinstall the plug abort add fluid at 1/2 quart increments and retry until it’s correct
    3
  2316. They do have a small calibration but the number on the injector is more important
    3
  2317. Hi! 2019 and they use D4S so it’s both direct and port at the same time
    3
  2318. It wouldn’t hurt but using good gas from a top tier gas station is usually enough to keep them clean for a very long time
    3
  2319. I will announce soon the hunt for volunteer cars to film with
    3
  2320. Aisin is usually the supplier for water pumps for Toyota. And denso does a lot other parts as well.
    3
  2321. Hi! I literally have not seen a single Sequoia with an air suspension problem. They are expensive but no one knows about them because they just are that good and don’t fail. On the Lexus GX yes there has been some issues as they age but not they sequoia
    3
  2322. Hi! It’s not the same as the highlander as they’re a different setup
    3
  2323. They’re about the same. The Sequoia came later and some of the common things with the 2007 tundra got updated
    3
  2324. Hi! It’s unlikely that a Toyota dealership would have a car with a rolled back odometer. Ask for service records to see if they can pull them up and you’ll be able to tell mileage and how often it was serviced
    3
  2325. They’re both very reliable. The Sequioa will be more basic and likely cheaper. The land cruiser has an advantage with more off road specific equipment and more high end feeling interior but the price will also be higher. If you just want it for the 8 passenger I would go with the Sequioa
    3
  2326. Hi! If it’s under warranty and you have a trusted mechanic at the dealership I would get it done. This is a repair that needs someone experienced. If you don’t have good experience with your local dealership I would either find someone else or leave it alone. Really dislike saying leave it alone when it’s under warranty and should get fixed
    3
  2327. Hi! The 2 common sources of leak are either the tensioner or the lifters pumping down. How’s the oil change history on the truck?
    3
  2328. That’s a very hard question to answer for me. The land cruiser is likely first and the 4Runner and Sequoia would be tied.
    3
  2329. It is less off road capable and the land cruiser has better materials. Everything seems overbuilt on the land cruiser
    3
  2330. Hi! Honestly it’s a high price but at least it’s a good car.
    3
  2331. I wouldn’t pay over MSRP for a 4runner or Tacoma TRD pro
    3
  2332. Hi! Honestly all the ones I’ve retorqued I have yet to see one not to spec
    3
  2333. Good for you Roger! Congratulations on your Camry purchase!
    3
  2334. Hi! That is not an option to pay it or not. It’s part of the price of the car.
    3
  2335. You can always try to negotiate the worst they can do is not budge off the price
    3
  2336. Hi! It is a free market. However when you work at a dealership and do things right and go the extra mile to do right by people and their cars then the dealership down the street flat inflates prices and does shady things like that, every dealership is called the stealership. House prices are different, you are asking a fair price for your house, if people want to bid higher that’s their choice not you forcing them to do so.
    3
  2337. Tried that. You’d need to knock out the welded nut on the front or use a very long one. Using a long one makes it not stable especially since this shield is pretty heavy.
    3
  2338. Not all. But it is a common enough issue that I brought it up. But even if it leaks it’s not a major issue. It can be fixed and be done with it if it gets bad enough. If it’s a small leak you could go well over 200k miles before it becomes a real issue. If you’re buying one look at it and make sure it’s not leaking. If it is bring it up to the dealership and have them adjust the price or better just fix the leak and be done with it
    3
  2339. Hi! For the noise TSB-0128-18 and no TSB on the front cover leak.
    3
  2340. Slightly higher than the standard but if it’s been maintained it should be ok.
    3
  2341. Thank you for watching my videos! If it’s a Camry v6 then yes 104-113 if it’s a 4 cylinder then 95-113
    3
  2342. I wouldn’t really. Most of the small issues that the 12-14 had were fixed on the 15-16 but the 14 also had most of the issues fixed. I wouldn’t worry and would keep the 14
    3
  2343. Either trim will work. I personally prefer the SE as it’s good looking and has nicer interior and wheels. Xse is nice but the wheels can get expensive and for a new driver might be much. They also tend to have better resale value as they look the best
    3
  2344. Hi! Try having the throttle body cleaned and see if it improves. Not something expensive at all.
    3
  2345. If you have a part time and you’re switching from 2WD to 4Hi you can do that while driving below 60 mph. If you’re switching from 4Hi to 4lo you need to be stopped and in neutral.
    3
  2346. I would.
    3
  2347. It’s actually not that complicated. And Subaru system is completely different and doesn’t have low range
    3
  2348. Hi! You can and I would replace it every 30k miles
    3
  2349. Hi brother! I would honestly consider having the outside buffed and waxed or ceramic coated better once a year then just use an automatic car wash with a monthly subscription. Find one on your way to work or home and stop by to wash it as needed. On the interior of its legal in your area tint your windows to protect the interior and every month give it a quick wipe down and call it a day.
    3
  2350. I’m planning to make a video in the future on how to replace the fluid.
    3
  2351. Hi! Honestly they’re both reliable and even on the full time you still need to engage low range and the lock to keep the transfer motor from seizing.
    3
  2352. Thank you for watching! Every 30k miles.
    3
  2353.  @DaveP923  research on the VF4AM transfer case. Terminology is at odds here however you can consider that a part time 4WD transfer case as it has both 2HI, 4HI-F, 4HI-L and 4LO and that’s what I was referring to in the video. Thank you.
    3
  2354. Hi! Thank you so much for watching my video. This video I tried to cover as much models as possible but On your model there’s no center different that allows the front and rear to spin independently so when making turns it will bind and it’s not recommended that you drive it on sharp turns on dry pavement. The exercise is best done on a straight road or one without sharp turns
    3
  2355. Hi! So if you have a manual shifter it won’t go into limbo. The only thing you have which can seize if say you don’t use it for 5 years then all of a sudden you do is the ADD actuator. I can make a video in the future about this.
    3
  2356. Yep! I’m unloading the w163 which replaced my totaled Camry. But not I’m in the market for a new Toyota. Still deciding. I wouldn’t worry about the fuel pump. It’s a simple tank drop and Toyota doesn’t allow non certified technicians to do recalls. They won’t pay the dealership if the technician is not expert level or higher.
    3
  2357. This transmission setup doesn’t have a pilot bearing.
    3
  2358. Please do share how you did replace the tweeters on the upper dash on a 2001-2006 Lexus LS430 in less than one hour without damaging all your vents and basically cutting things and not putting things back the way they are. Because if that is the case you’d do the community of LS430 owners a great service.
    3
  2359. The idea of 100lb of dirt, mold and grime is scary but it sounds about right!
    3
  2360. Agreed! Maybe while at it we could get the Toyota century as well! Only then we wouldn’t be so upset we’re not getting the GR Yaris!
    3
  2361. Thank you! Will get videos for maintenance when I get cars to work on!
    3
  2362. Hi! There’s actually not great details about it yet. Once it’s out I’ll make a video
    3
  2363. Toe and camber in the front toe only in the rear
    3
  2364. Just this engine. I think either of them is fine. The spin on of course is easiest to replace especially for diy
    3
  2365. 2004 sienna does have an ambient temp sensor.
    3
  2366. The vents under the seat are general ventilation for the battery charger. No filter is installed there. Only the two on both side of the back seat backs.
    3
  2367. The filters are behind the vents on both side of the back seat not underneath it. As soon as I get one to film with I’ll post it.
    3
  2368. Hi Shane! Thank you watching my brother! Yeah filming and working is interesting but I’m starting to get the hang of it as I want to start filming a bit more complicated DIY videos.
    3
  2369. Thank you for your comment. So to clarify. Cleaning the filter of your hybrid Toyota and keeping the vent free of items blocking it is wrong? And I also saw your comment on the other hybrid video. Does spilling water large amounts of water over the back seat ok? Or overfilling your cars engine with oil is okay? Or jump starting a 350 v8 from your Prius while it’s running and the engine is revved up ok? And using B mode all day long ok? Or leaving the fuel door open for more than 30 minutes on a hybrid then filing it ok? Or not being aware of the severe maintenance schedule that requires 5k oil changes instead of 10k? What harm does changing your oil early as a preventative measure? Or on the sealed transmissions? I would like to understand where did I contradict an engineers opinion and how does that end up making people make mistakes that would cost them financially? Also curious, do you work for Toyota? Please clarify. Thank you.
    3
  2370. No sorry I meant to filter that I’m showing in the video is not for the battery it’s for the DC/DC converter. The RAV4 prime doesn’t have another service for the battery as the battery sits underneath the car and not inside the cabin and has a rather interesting cooling system utilizing the cars AC refrigerant.
    3
  2371. Hi! If you want the latest and greatest features I would buy 2020 and up. If you want simplicity and basic reliable transportation you can’t go wrong with the 2016-2018 model
    3
  2372. Hi! There is however it’s very well covered and hidden where it’s near impossible to block it
    3
  2373. Some mechanics don’t check them regardless of miles. That’s why I encourage you as the owner to know where it is and check it. Even if you won’t service it if it’s dirty at least check it yourself
    3
  2374. When the cars are new the filters are new as well. But every car that comes in my service bay I check it, if it’s dirty I recommend cleaning if not then it’s good. Not all dealerships do this
    3
  2375. Likely a very long time. Easily into the 200k neighborhood as you approach or pass 300k some components will start falling apart. The key here is to keep up the maintenance as much as possible which means you’ll be changing the engine oil and filter about once a month or so.
    3
  2376. Hi! It does and it’s very similar to replace
    3
  2377. Not with Toyota engines when the valve and cylinder head is new. If you’re using old valves or replacing the cylinder head only or then yes it’s very important.
    3
  2378. They always list a part number but it’s never available when you try to order it. Always been the case
    3
  2379. Hi! It wouldn’t be a bad idea to have parts at hand especially if you’re diy and can replace them yourself which is simple on your car
    3
  2380. Hi! It asks you if it should use the AC to condition the cabin which would cool the battery better when charging. It will always ask when you set a schedule and plug it in. I would always give it permission to use it
    3
  2381. Hi! I would disconnect the tracker and check all the wiring. Hard to tell without checking but I would still check for trouble codes that might give you a direction for diagnosis
    3
  2382. Hi! No the regular Prius has normal hvac. This only applies to 2017 and up Prius Prime
    3
  2383. Hi Marjan! I am contemplating this video! There really hasn’t been much to report on the latest version of the 2ZR in the Prius and prime
    3
  2384. Hi! Yes the radar sensor behind the bumper. It was actually very close and within spec when I did.
    3
  2385. It does add the battery cooling and completely changes the way it sends the heat to the cabin. In depth explanation in the upcoming video
    3
  2386. Brother if you ever get a chance to look under the hood of a RAV4 prime it’s even more complicated!
    3
  2387. Hi Walt! Some folks tend to get upset they can’t drive in EV mode below 14 F and tend to shut off the heat and use the seat heater and freeze. I’d say it’s not worth it. You’ll still get very good gas mileage in hybrid mode
    3
  2388. Hi! A slight vibration can be normal for that engine in the es300h
    3
  2389. Honestly a Lexus ES350.
    3
  2390. Depends on how cold it gets. All cars hybrids included will get less gas mileage in the winter and it has to do with the gasoline engine not the hybrid battery
    3
  2391. Thank you for watching my videos! While my experience with block heaters is limited due to my area but usually an external block heater is the best option.
    3
  2392. US market rav4 could be made in Japan or North American production
    3
  2393. The fronts seem to wear faster than the rear. Usually the front rotors are overheated when premature brake wear happens and I would advice to replace they rotors and pads. Thank you for your suggestion.
    3
  2394. Hi! Check it for rust and oil leaks
    3
  2395. Hi! That mileage should be good to get it changed.
    3
  2396. Hi and congratulations on your corolla purchase! I don’t see a need to be in sport mode to have better fuel economy. No mode will harm your car. Try them all and see what suits your driving habits/needs.
    3
  2397. Hi! It’s not a hard job to do especially in the hybrid model
    3
  2398. Hi! I don’t have a video specific to crashed cars but on hybrids I would make sure that the high voltage cable that runs underneath the car is intact and wouldn’t buy one with damage to it. Also under the hood on top of the transmission is the inverter which is the heart of the hybrid system also make sure it’s not damaged
    3
  2399. This is a common concern with this model rav4 and even the previous model 2006-2012
    3
  2400. Then that’s a normal condition. The car is being tested on the parking pawl and when you disengage it, it makes the sound. I highly recommend you use the parking brake when you park your car. That pop that you hear overtime could cause damage to the parking pawl. This also means you’re parking the car at an incline or decline not a flat surface which is why I highly recommend you use the parking brake
    3
  2401. Thank you for watching my videos. Try this and see if it takes care of it. Next time you park your car while still in drive and foot on the brake apply the parking brake then put the car in park. See if it still does the thud and let me know
    3
  2402. Hi Bill. Heat does affect the battery but the cooling system of the battery is more than capable of handling high heat. Just make sure you use the cars air conditioning system when it’s very hot out so the air that goes to cool the battery is colder than outside air which helps a lot
    3
  2403. Drive 30-50 mph very low acceleration the whole car starts shaking violently. As soon as you press the gas more to accelerate faster it goes away. If you let go of the gas it also goes away.
    3
  2404. Really all of them are good. 13-15 had a few things that if you look for you’re good. 2016-2018 is improved but also more expensive.
    3
  2405. I am curious to why it was it sitting for a year at the lot. Kinda of a red flag honestly
    3
  2406. Hi! Regarding hybrid transmission fluid I would replace it every 60,000 miles or 6 years. It’s actually very easy to replace and not expensive at all. It’s basically a simple drain and fill like a differential. No special tools are required unlike a normal automatic transmission in a non hybrid car.
    3
  2407. The cost will depend on labor cost by area but the labor guide calls for 8-10 hours. Most dealerships are around 130-175 per hour independent shops are less but not that much less these days. Parts are 100 bucks give or take
    3
  2408. Hi! They’re likely referring to the 12v battery dying. I think that’s a good hybrid model to own. Given the age of the car and the mileage I’d say it’s a good hybrid to buy
    3
  2409. That would be a good suv to buy.
    3
  2410. Hi! So replace the torque converter, replace the pan magnets and reprogram the transmission ecu to resolve the issue if you already have shudder
    3
  2411. It’s a bit more involved as some disassembly is needed. I filmed the procedure today actually and you’ll see the video in the next few weeks.
    3
  2412. Keep an eye on the leak. It’s covered until 5 years or 60k miles so you still have time.
    3
  2413. The 16-18 with leds didn’t have any issues. The lexus although similar does have a different powertrain and doesn’t have the same issues
    3
  2414. The 19-20 rav4 is good so far. Small minor issues like window trims and of course radio issues. We’ve seen some seat memory issues but it’s a simple programming issue. Also the rav4 hybrid has an issue where you can’t fill it over 3/4 tank that’s been ongoing without a fix yet but at some point they will come out with a fix. Otherwise they’ve been good but too early for me to make a video about common issues.
    3
  2415. That’s the design they went with likely due to space limitations at the front. The torque vectoring actually can disconnect at the front and each rear wheel individually
    3
  2416. Hi! Depending on your budget. A 2005-2008 corolla or matrix is a good car at a lower budget
    3
  2417. Hi! Yes I would ask them to correct it
    3
  2418. I did look at the sticker. If memory serves right the engine in the US and transmission in Japan.
    3
  2419. Hi! It will be toyota ATF WS. And 3-4 quarts should be sufficient for a drain and fill
    3
  2420. I hope so. A hybrid version would be nice to give people options
    3
  2421. Likely cost.
    3
  2422. Hi! You can add it but it’s really not going to make a big difference I would just leave it as is
    3
  2423. Hi! Yea once we have it I’ll give it a go
    3
  2424. Honestly at this point I would leave it alone
    3
  2425. Should be around 4-5
    3
  2426. Cars sometimes are not the same as iPhones. They don’t “slow down” after a year or two
    3
  2427. Hi! I would replace it once. The idea is to replace a small amount to refresh the additive package
    3
  2428. Not yet but considering it at this point!
    3
  2429. Hi! Not it won’t. You’re changing settings that Toyota allows to be changed.
    3
  2430. Hi! Once you make changes they are saved. You don’t need to have it plugged in or keep your subscription
    3
  2431. Hi! The basic obd2 code reader is free. The rest is paid.
    3
  2432. Glad it worked good Michael!
    3
  2433. Hi! Unfortunately that one is super annoying and has no solution other than leaving the key in the car.
    3
  2434. Hi! You only need one tool and one subscription and you can use that for an infinite number of cars.
    3
  2435. Hi! It won’t void your warranty as these are customizations allowed by Toyota
    3
  2436. I hear you. Not many budget friendly scanners than can do a lot of 2 way communications unfortunately.
    3
  2437. I didn’t see such option on this one. Still looking into scan tools to review
    3
  2438. Hi! I didn’t see such supported feature on the list.
    3
  2439. Hi! Many folks will do many things to preserve the tires but plan to replace them every 5-7 years and you won’t have issues.
    3
  2440. That is correct unfortunately. There’s actually a law for that in each state. If the damage is less than a certain dollar amount the dealer can still sell it as a new car which makes absolutely no sense
    3
  2441. They do show dry rot more than others. They’re very nice tires but this is one of their common things
    3
  2442. Thank you daniel! Squeaks like that can be hard to find but don’t give up on the dealership they will eventually find it
    3
  2443. Honestly many will debate this but officially there’s no accurate way to know the health of the high voltage battery
    3
  2444. The RAV4 prime does have the most complicated car hvac system in my opinion you’ll see it in the upcoming video on saturday
    3
  2445. Hi! It does not. 2 charging options. One at 110 and one at 220 and the owners manual very clearly identifies the charging times from empty at each voltage depending on the on board charger size for the RAV4 primes
    3
  2446. Thank you! I still can’t believe it!
    3
  2447. Hi! The LE model doesn’t come with maps but the radio is capable however I haven’t really gotten a definitive answer if you can add it as an option later or noy
    3
  2448. Thank you! It’s out in the open but not the easiest to access honestly. Somewhat similar to a regular RAV4 and I haven’t seen any of those with thefts yet
    3
  2449. Hi! Overall cleanliness inside and out. Don’t leave food and especially dog food inside. Keep the cowl clean and the engine bay clean. Also spray some mint around the engine bay which deters them
    3
  2450. Hi! Happy Wednesday! I don’t get push back from Toyota.
    3
  2451. Hi! Headlight alignment no because even techstream can’t. And hybrid bleeding yes
    3
  2452. It looks like it does for BMW. In the video I showed the list of manufacturers that it supports customizations for and bmw was on the list
    3
  2453. Hi! The knock sensors are under the intake manifold. What’s removed in this video is the intake plenum. Also the knock sensors on the 2GR are kinda of a pain as there’s a coolant pipe that covers them.
    3
  2454. Hi! I can do a water pump video once I get one to replace here in the garage
    3
  2455. The valve cover gaskets on the 2GR are a bear especially the back one
    3
  2456. They should only go one way on this engine. Plug them in and erase the codes and you’re all good
    3
  2457. My system is down at the moment. But you can go to parts.Toyota.com use your vin to find them. The intake plenum can be referred to as intake surge tank gasket
    3
  2458. Thank you! The cardboard method is a very good one!
    3
  2459. Thank you for watching my video and I’m glad it helped! Some of these swivels don’t go as much as the snap on one. I noticed some brands like gear wrench makes very similar swivel angle to the snap on one.
    3
  2460. Will do
    3
  2461. Hi! I didn’t as you’re not really disconnecting any grounds. If you make sure the key is off that’s sufficient
    3
  2462. It’s an option
    3
  2463. Yes every 60k miles or 6 years
    3
  2464. They’re actually solid in the year 2001. The BMW 750il might be nicer but today they’re a nightmare to own and the Lexus from that era are still going around reliably
    3
  2465. Hi! No turbo issues yet that I have heard or seen.
    3
  2466. Most dealerships will do a flush. However if you specifically ask them for a drain and fill they will do it as the video however they could use another special tool which would allow to check the transmission fluid at high temperature. And they would use the scan tool to get the most accurate transmission temperature which is similar to the light method.
    3
  2467. That is correct on the Prius rattling noise. It’s the planetary gear set that rattles when the engine misfires
    3
  2468. Hi! Don’t adjust gaps for iridium plugs. That small difference likely will not make any difference.
    3
  2469. Iridium plugs last 120k except in the 2GR-FKS. Platinum plugs last 30k miles
    3
  2470. Hi! Thank you for watching! A 2GR spark plugs video is planned and coming in the near future.
    3
  2471. 13 ft lbs
    3
  2472. Toyota has done that before where they change the plug on the replacement. Not really sure why they decided to do that. I’ll ask to see if I can get an answer from them.
    3
  2473. I would look it up on parts.Toyota.com using your vin number
    3
  2474. Hi! Try this as it sometimes work. Drive the car and warm it up really well then try to take the plugs while it’s warm. A lot of people will advise you not to do this but from experience with Toyota this could help essentially using the engine heat as a “torch” if not have a mechanic take it out because the last thing you want is a broken spark plug.
    3
  2475. That’s a good idea. Maybe some compressed air to blow all debris and dirt away
    3
  2476. Hi! The spark plug torque on your engine is 15 similar to the one in the video.
    3
  2477. Hi! I would replace the coil. If money is tight use a no name brand name coil. It’s better than a broken coil.
    3
  2478. Hi! Many say that. Let’s hope that’s true
    3
  2479. Hi! Yes that’s a change that happened recently. We don’t have an official answer yet but cost vs. effect possibly has a factor in it
    3
  2480. It can work but honestly the best way to diagnose bearings is to have the wheel in the air, hold the coil spring and spin the wheel you’ll immediately feel it in most cases
    3
  2481. Hi! Yes this subject is coming up
    3
  2482. Hi! The brake pedal can get noisy usually from the mechanism itself needs lubrication. And the squishy pedal could be locked up calipers or a bad wheel bearing
    3
  2483. Hi! Likely the transmission was overfilled the last service. I would correct the level and call it a day
    3
  2484. Hi! If you can get it level within an 1-.5 inch you should be good
    3
  2485. You can change it again. Hybrids are not like normal transmissions when it comes to fluid
    3
  2486. No transfer case in hybrids
    3
  2487. So far EGR issues are very limited. Definitely an improvement. Roof seals so far I haven’t seen any
    3
  2488. You do need to remove the cowl on this as the coil won’t come out. It’s not hard to remove it, takes a seasoned mechanic less than 5 minutes
    3
  2489. Hi! Historically there hasn’t really been much issues with these. They have been out since 2010
    3
  2490. Hi! The Lexus ES is closer to the Avalon size wise. Very similar to the Camry construction wise just longer. The ES is a great car if you drive the Camry and feel like you need a quieter ride with nicer materials.
    3
  2491. Hi! No changes at all.
    3
  2492. Hi! I use this lift a lot and have done a lot of work. If your car is a rear wheel drive where the transmission is middle of the car it might be in the way. But if you use a creeper and go underneath it, it’s not bad then. Anything in the front or rear of the car is wide open
    3
  2493. Hi! I would measure the spread of the jack points on the C class and go to their website and see if it fits. I’ve lifted some pretty short cars like a 2014 corolla and it fit. Doesn’t fit many of the smaller car but might fit the C class
    3
  2494. The quickjack does shift the car. I would move it in more forward to start so when it’s lifted you can close the garage door
    3
  2495. Some dealerships are nervous about opening the hydraulic circuit of hybrids due to their specific procedure to bleed them
    3
  2496. You’re welcome! On Lexus models it could be harder because of how insulated and smooth they are. If you ever get a chance to drive a Prius or corolla hybrid it’s very obvious when the hydraulic brakes engage
    3
  2497. Thank you for watching my video. So it’s hard to tell which brakes it’s using. Here’s a few things that might help. When coming to a stop slowly you’ll notice at some point that the brakes get stronger that’s the definite pull of the hydraulic brakes. Then you can drive the car to say 30mph then put the car in neutral and press the brake then put it back in drive and press the brake and see the difference. In neutral the regen braking is 100% off and you are using 100% hydraulic brakes.
    3
  2498. Thank you for watching my video. They are two different cars with similar hybrid systems. I wouldn’t say one is better than the other. I would say that the ct is definitely better because it’s slightly bigger and it’s a Lexus but in terms of reliability they are equal
    3
  2499. That is true. However instead of hard braking every once in a while as you’re driving put the car in neutral and apply the brakes. When in neutral hybrids use 100% hydraulic brakes.
    3
  2500. Hi! That is correct and often times when the accumulator fails a hair line crack causes a leak which produces air in the brake system
    3
  2501. Hi! The system is very smart and actually it works pretty well in snow as it has complete control over ABS and traction control. Engine B mode is used for mountain driving to slow down the car without using the brakes as much
    3
  2502. Hi! Yes the brake lights do come on.
    3
  2503. Hi Shane! Hope you’re doing well. The hydraulic system kicks in very rapidly on hybrid when needed and bypasses regenerative braking rapidly when needed. It actually has much more control on ABS and traction control due to the accumulator and pump setup. It does cause more braking on the front wheels but that is also true with most front wheel drive cars because of the weight distribution being more towards the front because of the engine and transmission location. That’s why rotating the tires at the set interval which is 5k miles in Toyota’s is important to distribute the wear evenly on all 4 tires and not end up with worn front tires and almost new rear tires. Thank you for the suggestion! I’ll try to include more pictures in my videos.
    3
  2504. Hi! It is very normal and nothing to worry about. That’s the pump pressurizing the fluid to be ready for the next brake application
    3
  2505. Hi! The GS is a very nice sedan. Maybe not as exciting as some of its European rivals in the handling and performance department but I wouldn’t call it boring and bland either. The nice thing about it is you get to enjoy decent handling and driving experience for a very long time without breaking the bank as they are very reliable
    3
  2506. Hi! Depends on your car. If it’s older than 5 years replace the brake fluid and the coolant. If it’s less than 5 years old and for the coolant has less than 50k miles I would wait.
    3
  2507. Hi! They’ll need to install original shims with proper grease
    3
  2508. I think infrastructure and liability are two issues that stop this technology from taking off.
    3
  2509. It could work but I’d rather you are heavily supervising it as it could be jumpy on the brakes because of the extra load of the tow
    3
  2510. Thanks for the suggestion brother! I’ll add it to the list!
    3
  2511. Working on it 😉
    3
  2512. Hi! Honestly I don’t have much experience with balancing blower motors. If you can see where the weight went perhaps try to reinstall it in the same location?
    3
  2513. Hi Marjan! I’ve had a Prius a while back from a viewer that doesn’t have a filter and I pulled the fan and it had very light dust on it after 11 years. Keeping the back cleaned up really helps.
    3
  2514. Hi! Brake fluid replacement should be done when the moisture content in the fluid is high. I would have the dealership do it as it’s not expensive
    3
  2515. Hi! A video is planned for spring time
    3
  2516. Thank you for watching! Unfortunately bumping the sensor is true and there’s another that’s even more dangerous but I won’t share it so “those” techs won’t get ideas. I think it’s much easier just to adjust it and call it a day. I mean if the tech does everything to get to the point of adjustment why not just adjust the thing instead of tinkering with the reflector? I just don’t get it
    3
  2517. Manuel Montoya Hello Manuel! The three ton jack and items in the back will not affect your suspension or alignment issues at all. Carrying items in the car and/or people is normal for the car and the suspension is designed to handle it. Overloading the car with very heavy weight that remains in the car will have affects on everything but if not kept for a long time won’t affect things permanently.
    3
  2518. Hi! 16-18 RAV4 hybrids are 3rd generation. 19+ is 4th
    3
  2519. Agreed. I would get something with a bit more power like a Camry hybrid rav4 hybrid…etc
    3
  2520. It’s rated to tow 3500 lbs if your combined weight of jet ski and trailer is below you should be good
    3
  2521. Hi! No the Scion tC of those years is actually very good
    3
  2522. Hi! It’s very possible with this car. It’s a good car just keep up the maintenance
    3
  2523. Hi! Yes I can! It’s planned for the future
    3
  2524. Hi! Haven’t seen one yet honestly. Was rust involved in the fall by any chance?
    3
  2525. I would keep driving and keep an eye on the oil level
    3
  2526. Hi! Unfortunately it’s likely burning the oil. Just keep the level topped off and you’re good
    3
  2527. Hi! They’re very good honestly. They do have a few common things like struts
    3
  2528. Hi! They’re good with good maintenance. See my video on the sienna
    3
  2529. It’s good! That v6 has its oil leaks but it’s normal with age
    3
  2530. Rust
    3
  2531. Video coming out tomorrow will detail that subject!
    3
  2532. Hi! They still make the real Yaris overseas but because of the deal with Mazda the Yaris became that. It’s actually a very good car
    3
  2533. Hi! I think it’s a good car if it’s in good shape and taken care of
    3
  2534. Hi! Whenever possible wash the car and especially underneath. Undercoat it with fluid film or equivalent. Parking in a garage is a huge plus and a heated garage is even better
    3
  2535. I purposefully skipped it to see who notices! This is the first comment I read! The land cruiser is in a class of its own to me. They take things to the next level with reliability
    3
  2536. Yes sir! They’re the same so yours is included!
    3
  2537. Hi! Cam tower leak is about it for these. Otherwise they’re very solid
    3
  2538. Oil based is better but more messy is the only down side
    3
  2539. You can but it still has a mechanical thermostat so you’ll want the engine to warm up. The 2GR-FKS is different as it has a mechanical water pump
    3
  2540. Hi! The shops name is TCCN automotive in Homer Glen IL visit the website at www.tccnautomotive.com for more information
    3
  2541. Hi! Don’t use a vacuum fill on this engine as it has coolant valves that need to be opened otherwise you’ll have air in the system
    3
  2542. Hi! 60k miles or 6 years
    3
  2543. Hi! That is a good car if it’s been taken care of. I would get it inspected by your trusted shop to make sure that it’s in good condition. If you buy one in good condition they are very good cars and that mileage doesn’t worry me at all.
    3
  2544. Hi! Come to a complete stop before shifting into drive from reverse or vice versa
    3
  2545. Hi! Same thing. The only difference between N and P is the parking pawl application
    3
  2546. The automatic parking brake actually engages on time so leave it on automatic and you’re good
    3
  2547. Hi! In this case follow the schedule by time
    3
  2548. Unless this is done daily on every drive you Should be ok
    3
  2549. Hi! I would let the computer decide to downshift
    3
  2550. Hi! Using it occasionally is ok. Using it every single day for no reason is excessive and will in the long term put more wear on the transmission
    3
  2551. Hi! I would leave it be. It can be done without the bleeder but it’s a pain and takes a long time. If you have heat at idle you’re good
    3
  2552. Hi Alex! Thanks for watching my brother! So the dynamic force coolant is on the radar just trying to find one that comes in the shop. They’re all still new and not needing coolant replacement yet
    3
  2553. Hi! It’s on the radiator itself. On rav4s they don’t have a direct access to the radiator so in your case you’d use the spill free funnel directly on the plastic reservoir on the side
    3
  2554. So the drain on the block is kinda hard to get it and when you finally get to it a small amount of coolant comes out and then from experience even when you drain the block there’s still a good amount of coolant left in the engine so you’ll never really be able to replace 100% of the coolant other than taking the engine apart and flipping it upside down basically
    3
  2555. Hi! After the bleeding is done you’d want to top the overflow bottle to full
    3
  2556. Hi! You can drain the block but really only a small amount comes out and it’s not a very easy spot to get to especially on AWD models
    3
  2557. Hi! Keep it simple and drain it as the video shows. Often times the drain on the block seizes and can break. And when you drain it only a small amount comes out
    3
  2558. I would replace the fluid every 60k or 6 years
    3
  2559. Hi! If you have a rattling noise that goes up and down with the engine rpm it could be a water pump. Remove the belt and check the pump for play
    3
  2560. Hi! So your car doesn’t have a coolant valve for the heater so coolant will flow to the heater no matter what. Keeping them off makes sure you’re not loosing heat and makes the process quicker
    3
  2561. Use the hose to turn the bleeder closed. Stand the hose and twist it. If it doesn’t work just go quickly with the socket. It will be hot so have some gloves as protection. The hose is vinyl
    3
  2562. The first gen Prius can be tough to bleed as you said the procedure in the book doesn’t work very well
    3
  2563. Will come in the future!
    3
  2564. Hi! It does have a block drain located underneath the exhaust manifold on the back bank. Kinda hard to get to it without a lift
    3
  2565. Hi! This doesn’t surprise me from a dealership! I think they did you a favor as the door is very simple to remove for your camry to service the filter. So easy you won’t have to pay for it. So the plastic screw you’d want to very gently turn it with a screw driver. You also could use a small flat head screw driver to pry the middle part out and then it comes out. Then the whole door comes out with the filter. If the clip breaks don’t worry it’s like 2 bucks at the dealership nothing to worry about.
    3
  2566. There’s nothing behind the second vent. It’s just for general ventilation of the battery area. See the video that comes out today on the channel it’ll show you everything around the battery in your car
    3
  2567. Very similar yes. You have 2 filters. I’m trying to find a Prius prime to make a video as well.
    3
  2568. That’s how the filter comes from Toyota. I agree with you though it would be easier
    3
  2569. Hi! Check it every 1-3 months initially if it’s clean the move it up to 6 months
    3
  2570. That will vary depending on your use. I would check it every month. If it’s clean after a month then check it every 3 months and see. Sometimes you might go a year with the filter being clean or in some cases a month depends on your use
    3
  2571. It depends on your use. If you have pets I’d check it monthly. If you have kids in the back I’d check it every 2-3 months. If your back seat use is very minimal then I’d say check it every 6 months. If you drive for Uber/Lyft then actually check it weekly or bi-weekly.
    3
  2572. Sorry I wrote my replay and didn’t hit send 😂 I prefer lithium ion as it’s latest tech from Toyota and they’re lighter weight.
    3
  2573. Hard to say one model in particular. But for the older ones 1997-2001 are very good. 2002-2006 V6 are very good.
    3
  2574. They’re missing. The parts department should be able to order them and the dealership should be paying for thisn
    3
  2575. Hi! If the car comes with body plugs then it does have the openings in the body and I would take it back to the dealership and have them install them
    3
  2576. Thank you for the awesome suggestion my brother! I’ll look into it!
    3
  2577. Hi! Take pictures of the car on all corners and then compare the car to the pictures to make sure they don’t cause damage and you don’t accuse them of damage that you didn’t see. Otherwise try not to leave valuable items in the car and perhaps cover the drivers seat and floor mat so it stays clean
    3
  2578. Depends. Some vendors will come to the dealership for something like window tinting. Other options need to be sent out
    3
  2579. Hi! I would replace the fluid.
    3
  2580. Hi! I haven’t personally tried it or looked into it but I have many good things about it.
    3
  2581. Hi! I don’t recommend them. They’re very hard to clean well and if not cleaned properly they could contaminate the maf sensor
    3
  2582. Borderline. I would just do a single drain and fill and call it a day
    3
  2583. Hi! How many miles? I would just replace the fluid if it’s under 100k miles
    3
  2584. Hi! It’s not the fluids that have a shelf life but moisture does affect them. WS fluid absorbs moistures and I wouldn’t use opened bottles after a week. Coolant should be ok. Brake fluid I wouldn’t keep past a week.
    3
  2585. 10k oil changes work if you put high mileage and majority of your driving is highway. But that’s not the majority of people.
    3
  2586. Hi Mario. Try cleaning your throttle body
    3
  2587. Hi! It does have a few similar issues
    3
  2588. I would. Possibly one coming up if they decide to do it
    3
  2589. On the pinchweld work on both models
    3
  2590. On the cold start rattle most of the time it’s the intake. It’s not as simple to just replace it with a solid gear as the whole is designed around the vvti system
    3
  2591. The CVT FE is for cars that use a conventional CVT transmission like the 2014 and up Toyota corolla. The hybrid transmission is not a conventional CVT and it does use Toyota WS transmission fluod
    3
  2592. Hi! In B mode the engine doesn’t come on it’s just spinning to create the drag but it’s actually not running
    3
  2593. That’s not the case with hybrids as the battery is very small and high voltage battery is very capable
    3
  2594. Thank you for watching my video! On the 12v battery they’re just the issue with hybrids. Very rarely do they make it past 5 years and some of them are pretty expensive. Other than regular driving and not letting the car sit for long not much can be done to help them
    3
  2595. Interesting. That’s pretty soon for rear brakes. Sorry I’m asking a million questions just wondering of the brake wear trends on the 2020+ corolla
    3
  2596.  @yunus_aros  I was wondering the same. Curious @tarek Riza how many miles does your corolla have?
    3
  2597. Thank you! I’m hoping I can get that done next week for the following week.
    3
  2598. Thank you for watching! Here’s a video that shows you how to replace the filter and shows you how it looks like. https://youtu.be/U7mjpvRihVU
    3
  2599. Thank you! I’m trying to get a car to film with. I hope soon I’ll get the video out.
    3
  2600. Awesome! I’m trying to put more information on 3rd gen prius models. Do your research on each job you tackle and ask any questions you have!
    3
  2601. If the brake bleeders were not open it shouldn’t make a performance difference to bleed them
    3
  2602. Fluid film! Not really a fan of coatings you can’t easily remove or wipe off
    3
  2603. Congratulations Wade! These cars are pretty impressive with not only their gas mileage and efficiency but by how reliable they are given how complicated they are! With good maintenance they easily last 2-300k. Best of luck with your and I hope you enjoy it for years to come.
    3
  2604. John DiMartino awesome buy! I always though the Prius is good but more of a specialty car with its unique shape that’s not for everyone. And now the corolla hybrid you basically get the technology and mpg of a Prius is a normal sedan that actually looks pretty sharp!
    3
  2605. Hi James. On your Camry the vent location is on the package tray which is behind the rear seat head rests by the 3rd brake light. You car didn’t come with a filter from the factory so you might want to clean the fan itself first then install a filter the part no for the filter is g92DH-33010
    3
  2606. Hi! If you keep it below 130-140 km/h you’re good. Use adaptive cruise control as needed and the driving modes, both of the later items don’t affect the life of your battery
    3
  2607. Yes it does. As soon as it comes on it takes over and starts charging it
    3
  2608. Hi! It’s underneath the back seat. Here’s a video that goes in depth on the filter for your specific model https://youtu.be/U7mjpvRihVU
    3
  2609. I’m glad I could help. The battery vent on your Prius c is underneath the back seat. It also has a filter that’s serviceable. Also underneath your back seat is the 12v battery.
    3
  2610. Mark Quinton ok. If I may ask why did you feel like it was a waste of time?
    3
  2611. Some of them are some of them are not or worded differently or in different forms.
    3
  2612. Hi! Could be an issue with the fuel level sender. Not common but still possible. How do you know there’s less than half a tank?
    3
  2613. Hi Mike! 36 is actually not over inflation. I was referring to filling them up to 45 or 50psi which some people actually do and it’s not good.
    3
  2614. Hello Dominic, At 8k miles I don’t think you’ll have issues. That’s plenty of miles to keep things charging and good.
    3
  2615. A video is planned and coming up explaining hybrid drive modes. I would use normal for all day driving eco for highway driving or steady speed driving and power when needed for faster acceleration
    3
  2616. Hi! There’s no problem but it will continue communicating and will affect the battery in the key.
    3
  2617. Yeah it happens. It’ll display the message more often when the high voltage battery is low. A lot of owners don’t know this one until they get the message
    3
  2618. Thank you for watching my video. Your car is not sold in my market so I am not very familiar with it. However most Toyota Hybrids will have their filter around the back seat area. Either underneath the seat or to the side of the back of the back seat. Look for a vent in that area and you should find it.
    3
  2619. Gerald Dillon Hi Gerald! Thank you for your comment! It’s in the plans to make a series on Toyota hybrid maintenance/service! You will see it on this channel in the near future.
    3
  2620. You should tell them to set it at 32 psi cold or 35-36 hot max. If they don’t do this then check it yourself and adjust it for safety.
    3
  2621. That shouldn’t be an issue.
    3
  2622. Hi! Driving the hybrid car around will help the battery go through a few charge and discharge cycles and that helps it. Waiting for the engine to start and warm up is also beneficial to the engine to get it running.
    3
  2623. hloutlaw I hear you. It gives you a good amount of time before things start shutting down. So running through a Carwash shouldn’t be an issue
    3
  2624. Rey Ouano Hello Rey! Thank you for subscribing! That RAV4 you got is one of the most reliable hybrids in Toyota land!
    3
  2625. It’s located underneath the back seat you’ll see a slotted vent with the filter behind it.
    3
  2626. Hi! I wouldn’t worry. Things happen. Steering racks are not common at all and likely the one you had was born with this issue and now that’s it’s replaced you won’t have issues. I know you feel bad that it had to be your new car but things happen that’s why new cars have warranties to cover things like this. Now that it’s fixed don’t think too much of it and enjoy the car.
    3
  2627. Hi! Grease it until it comes out. Make sure you’re getting the correct grease
    3
  2628. Hi! So eventually the original one will go one day, but it will have a considerably longer life than the aftermarket ones.
    3
  2629. Hi! I would use normal as it seems to be the best of both worlds
    3
  2630. Hi! Running your Prius prime on EV model is different than a conventional hybrid Prius. I would utilize the electric range of the prime of course and keeping in mind that refreshing the fuel and letting the engine run here and there is a good idea for longevity.
    3
  2631. I would definitely wait. At least to mid first year run. All the issues will likely be covered under warranty and in the end it’ll be the same but to avoid the hassle I wouldn’t rush to get the first ones
    3
  2632. Hi Stephane! How are you doing? I am not a bit fan of fuel additives to be honest. Perhaps it works in this case but a better and safer solution would be not to let the gas sit to begin with.
    3
  2633. That could work. I personally don’t like gas stabilizers for automotive applications and would rather cycle the gas. But that’s my personal opinion. Plenty of very good stabilizer products out there.
    3
  2634. Hi! I would try to use the gas and won’t leave it more than 6-12 months on the same tank for best results. Using premium gas wouldn’t really benefit anything. Also non ethanol gas would help but with gasoline that has 10 ethanol you’re good if you cycle it as much as possible.
    3
  2635. Govind Walia the numbers were the single case that I dealt with. Your results will vary everything. And this video is not a tire review and as I mentioned you should do your tire research which folks will do and decide. You might dislike low rolling resistance tires and prefer performance tires, others might not. Hence the emphasis on researching before jumping in to buy something.
    3
  2636. That’s not the intent here. I never said buy low rolling resistance tires to save gas mileage. The Prius primes original tires are eco focused and are low rolling resistance to start, change it to one that’s not you will notice a difference in mileage and/or range. And for the RAV4 prime the average weight of the original tires are 27 lbs a similar size Michelin defender is 31 lbs so you have 4 more pounds of rotational mass. I specifically mentioned the Michelin defender which is meant to be a long life tire but it will affect your mileage. There has never been a Toyota equipped with the defender from the factory.
    3
  2637. Martin Bernard I hear you. I can imagine it’s a simple software tweak to do this. I wouldn’t rush to get rid of it, it’s a very nice car. But every car will have its few things that are not ideal but overall I think it’s an excellent car! Best of wishes for you!
    3
  2638. Hi! First oil change around 1500-2000kms and the long distance trip should be good. Charge the battery as needed for driving in ev mode
    3
  2639. Hi! Honestly both options work well in hot climate. I would decide based on your needs. If you want the ultimate gas mileage get a prime if you want very good gas mileage then a hybrid
    3
  2640. Nothing is wrong with that as long as the car doesn’t sit as condensation becomes a problem then
    3
  2641. That’s a good question. It also feels like a rock and a hard place. Depending on the ambient temperature really. Charging the battery produces heat and heat is the biggest issue for this battery or rather excessive heat. The best scenario would be not full charges and parking in the shade if that’s possible. If not I’d go with morning charge and shade. Charging under high sun is also not the best.

  2642. Thank you for watching my videos! I wouldn’t double filter the hybrid fan intake. If you already have a filter it should be sufficient. If you don’t I would try to install an original one because you also don’t want a restrictive filter.
    3
  2643. Hi! That’s too new to have an issue with contaminated fuel and it does have miles on it. I would drive it and get the tank low and fill it up with good gas and you’re good to go.
    3
  2644. pilot1226 while the RAV4 prime is still very new but the previous prime model which is the Prius prime is out 3 years and has been holding up excellent without any big issues. I have faith in Toyota engineering and I have no doubt that the RAV4 prime will last a long time given that it’s taken care of and maintained properly.
    3
  2645. Hi! On the extended warranty if you can get it for a decent price it wouldn’t be a bad idea. No real history on their reliability because they’re new and new technology. I wouldn’t worry about big stuff going out, it’s usually the small stuff that piles up and make the warranty worth it
    3
  2646. Thats correct. However since this issue is not costing you anything I highly recommend you are proactive about this as waiting a year is really pushing the envelope. The point of this is not treating your Toyota prime as an EV car only. Don’t forget the gasoline engine needs to run frequently and the gas cycled.
    3
  2647. Hi! Treat it as you would a normal car in that regard. Normal safety precautions apply. Don’t leave gas in a container in a locked car….etc
    3
  2648. Thanks for pointing that out. It’s a strange option that I haven’t seen in another car

  2649.  @user-3tf67bk46u  ​​⁠​⁠​⁠ Hi! Constructive criticism is always welcome. I work a lot and as much as I’d love to read and reply to every comment it is at times not possible. Replying to constructive criticism negates the point of it. Constructive criticism is meant to be taken not debated and that’s what I have done. If you have commented or shared a point of view and I didn’t reply to it, it doesn’t mean that I intentionally did that. And in all honesty I don’t recall reading a comment with your username, I will go back and search for them. Thank you for watching and have a nice day.
    3
  2650. Video coming up soon on that one
    3
  2651. Hi! Not anytime soon! It’s really hard to get cars these days
    3
  2652. Hi! Similar yes except the plug-in features
    3
  2653. Hi! Yes there’s no issues with that.
    3
  2654. They so far has been holding up very well
    3
  2655. If I’m not mistaken the adaptive suspension came as an option on the higher trims. The touring and sport models had louder exhaust but it’s not extremely loud and doesn’t drone like the TRD model does.
    3
  2656. Hi! Are we talking about the 2019+ Avalon or 14-18? Also compared to which year Camry?
    3
  2657. You can install the springs and struts it has been done but it’s a but expensive. Honestly I would just shop for a 16-18 if you absolutely can’t find one and you’ve found 13-15 that you like than go for it
    3
  2658. You won't damage the batteries right away by leaving it sitting. It will over time slowly deteriorate the battery to a point where it's capacity will start dropping. If you drive it enough when you're in town that should help. Otherwise could you ask a family member to drive it every few weeks for a day or two if possible?
    3
  2659. The fan vent is located on the edge of the back seat. Open the back door and you’ll see a vent
    3
  2660. I agree with this being a worthy investment! The difference is big and noticeable when you drive a 13-15 and 16+
    3
  2661. Hi! Gasoline models in this generation has a 6 speed automatic transmission. The hybrid model has an eCVT which is also not a conventional CVT at all
    3
  2662. Thank you for watching my video. I don’t think that’s very high mileage. If the car is in good shape and have good service history then it might be worth it.
    3
  2663. They’re about the same with the Camry but for some reason sales are lower for the Avalon than the Camry. Now that they are used cars often you’ll find them very close to Camry prices and people choose to ignore them and look at camrys instead. I think it’s an excellent car that’s as reliable as the Camry with more comfort.
    3
  2664. Hi! A flush is not a good idea on hybrids. A simple drain and fill is all they need. I would replace the coolant every 50k or 5 years. If this is a new car then the first coolant replacement is 100k or 5 years.
    3
  2665. Hi! The Avalon is a very nice car. More important than the mileage I would check the service history. Make sure whatever car you end up buying that it has good service records
    3
  2666. Depends on the condition. It it’s been well maintained then maybe. If not then I’d walk away.
    3
  2667. I would stay towards the 2008-2010 they had some improvements that are worth it
    3
  2668. No known issues with the transmission on the Avalon however it’s less of a problem more of a feel type thing. It does get better as you drive it and it adapts to your driving style but just make it doesn’t stand out and flat bother as it could be odd the way it shifts gears. It bothers some people and some people don’t mind it at all.
    3
  2669. Hi! The 2013-2018 Avalon doesn’t have issues with VVTi hoses as they are all solid metal lines in this generation
    3
  2670. The venza is an excellent car. The v6 is improved however does have the same oil leaks and water pump issues. If maintained right should last you a long time.
    3
  2671. Hi! These are really good cars. If the car has a good service history and been maintained well I wouldn’t hesitate to buy it if you like the car
    3
  2672. It was very sensitive to adjustments. Any hit to the bumper would cause it it to work right. It seems the later ones improved a little but on sensitivity
    3
  2673. Good car. A few leaks that are common on the hydraulic power steering but otherwise a very good car
    3
  2674. Best luck with your DIY projects! Remember enjoy working on your cars and take pride in what you do. No one will take care of your car like you will! Have a good weekend
    3
  2675. Hi! They are reliable however the 2013-2018 generation is more reliable. The power steering on the 2011 has a tendency of developing leaks. Everything else is solid with a few exceptions but mostly small things
    3
  2676. I haven’t seen one with a stalling condition but if it’s involved in the fuel pump recall that is one of the symptoms and the recall fixes that.
    3
  2677. Hi! They are solid honestly. A lot more reliable than conventional automatic transmissions. And they are not really CVTs they are eCVT which is completely different
    3
  2678. I would look into getting a software update for it first. The dealership can do that for a low cost. If that doesn’t work then I’d try another phone to see if it does the same and go from there
    3
  2679. Hi! No need to remove the negative terminal just make sure the car is off and key is out of it
    3
  2680. Hi! Yes it could still happen.
    3
  2681. Hi! You can use it if it’s strong enough to clear things up. I would for sure give it a shot if you have some laying around
    3
  2682. Hi! It wouldn’t hurt to condition the seal. Main thing is to clean it every once in a while and the surface on the roof in which it contacts
    3
  2683. Hi! The tabs are common to break. This is actually a video that I need to get out and done how to replace them.
    3
  2684. Hi! That’s normal because of the parking pawl.
    3
  2685. Hi! Yes the 2005 Avalon had a lot of vvti issues most of them were fixed under warranty.
    3
  2686. It’s actually from the planetary set in the transmission. Because the engine starts at such high rpm immediately unlike a starter it causes that vibration which rattles the planetary gear set
    3
  2687. Hi! I personally wouldn’t. I would use an original filter especially since they cost the same and sometimes less than aftermarket options
    3
  2688. Hi! Not really. I would do my best to advise them to change their ways and take care of their car.
    3
  2689. Hi Ken! I use products by Groits garage and Ammo NYC
    3
  2690. This is the video for hybrid transmission fluid https://youtu.be/I1fP-RKsqG0
    3
  2691. I’m working on making a video for hybrid transmission. I’m hoping it would be done and out towards the end of February or beginning of March.
    3
  2692. Hi! You won’t measure the amount correctly. When the temp is in the range to adjust the fluid the cooler is closed by the thermostat. When you force it open with the pin you’re making sure that the fluid circulates through the cooler so you won’t get an inaccurate fluid level
    3
  2693. Hi! It works but you might get a flashing AT temp light instead of D. Also if the fluid was replaced on time I wouldn’t worry about the filter if not then replace it
    3
  2694. Hi! Change the transmission fluid every 60k miles or 6 years
    3
  2695. That’s the total capacity. The 3 quarts you drain are enough to refresh the fluid and keep things protected
    3
  2696. Hi! Every 60k or 6 years
    3
  2697. Hi! It would work if the fluid level was right to begin with. I would do the full procedure
    3
  2698. Hi! Should be around 95-114
    3
  2699. Your cars differential is part of the transmission and when you change the fluid on the transmission you’ve effectively changed the differential fluid as well.
    3
  2700. Hi! Likely it will be slightly off. I would let it cool down and recheck it again to be sure.
    3
  2701. Hi! They are both safe if done right. Flushes can be an issue on older transmissions that wasn’t serviced.both methods need to be followed by a fluid level check
    3
  2702. It’s not a waste at that age of the car but as you’ve seen it wasn’t really clogged or dirty and that’s because you always changed the fluid on time
    3
  2703. Hi! It doesn’t
    3
  2704. Hi! Yes the drain plug location will be different as the oil pan is on the front. You’ll find one 10mm hex on the bottom of the transmission then the overflow pipe is behind it take it out with a 6mm hex. Everything else is the same.
    3
  2705. Hi! I wouldn’t attempt the flush by undoing the cooler hose as things can get out of control quick and end up damaging the transmission pump. I personally wouldn’t use any fluid other than original fluid in any Toyota transmission.
    3
  2706. Hi! You’d be in park.
    3
  2707. The Camry hybrid transmission is even easier than this. Just drain and fill until it overflows and put the fill plug back. Just like a manual transmission
    3
  2708. Hi! You can do that but I’d say if you went through all that why not finish the job and check the fluid level.
    3
  2709. Hi! If your fluid level was good to begin with the yes. But I say if you went through the trouble of draining and filling why not spend another 10-15 minutes to check the fluid level and make sure you’re 100% on point
    3
  2710. Hi! I would drain and fill every 60k. With the small amount that you take out and replace the additive package is renewed in the transmission fluid and that is enough to keep things fresh. I wouldn’t recommend you do multiple replacements in too short of a time.
    3
  2711. Hi! They usually do but honestly hard to be 100% sure.
    3
  2712. Very good idea! Thank you! You’re actually gonna take the cover off in the car preparation wouldn’t hurt to take it off or at least loosen it! For the hybrid I will plan to make a video for everyone however it’s very simple on the hybrid. It is similar to a differential, basically the a drain plug and fill plug higher than the drain. You drain it then fill it until it overflows from the fill plug and close the plug.
    3
  2713. Hi! I would get them replaced especially the transmission sooner than later
    3
  2714. Hi! Unfortunately they removed this feature on some of the new models. You’ll have to use a scanner than can show trans temp
    3
  2715. Hi! Hybrids don’t have the same procedure. I am ready to film the one for hybrids but the weather in Chicago is not helping at all. That video should be out in March.
    3
  2716. No this is my best friends car who’s also a viewer.
    3
  2717. They do especially if the transmission has high mileage
    3
  2718. Hi! I would replace it once. Over doing it is also not good for the transmission. A single replacement is sufficient
    3
  2719. Hi! It’s a risk at this mileage. If anything I would just do a single drain and fill but first check the fluid condition
    3
  2720. Hi! So with Toyota transmissions if the fluid is changed on time the filter typically can last the life of the car. Very rarely are they replaced and found dirty
    3
  2721. If the fluid level was correct initially sure you can do that. But if it’s not then it will remain so. When dealing with transmissions don’t do shortcuts, finish the job right and check the fluid level.
    3
  2722. Hi! That would work if the fluid level was correct to begin with. I’d say if you did all that why not finish the job and check the fluid level
    3
  2723. Hi! I would complete the process without shortcuts. No disadvantages to drain and fill. I would use original fluid
    3
  2724. Hi at this mileage I wouldn’t replace the transmission fluid if it’s never been replaced before
    3
  2725. Hi! After the light comes on end in park
    3
  2726. Hi! Any small wire that fits the pins will work
    3
  2727. I would change it anywhere from 60k miles to 90k
    3
  2728. Hi! The temp range is 104-113 and you can reuse them if you have to
    3
  2729. Thank you for sharing the pictures! That’s the highest prime miles I’ve seen so far! Do you mind if I share it with viewers? I’ll cover the license plate I just would like your permission.
    3
  2730. Hi! So the vents under the back seat are for the charger which sits underneath the back seat and has a fan. They don’t have a filter and there’s no service needed. Don’t block them when the car is off and charging as that’s when they’ll be used
    3
  2731. Hi! Thank you for watching. I think someone was referring to anti seize
    3
  2732. Likely to keep large debris out of the filter element
    3
  2733. Agreed!
    3
  2734. It doesn’t matter at all. You’re good. I’ve seen these o rings last the life of the car on the original one
    3
  2735. Hi! If they feel soft and not brittle I wouldn’t replace them.
    3
  2736. Likely not for something from the 80s but wouldn’t hurt to check with the dealership
    3
  2737. Very likely it’s the VsV underneath the intake manifold
    3
  2738. Hi! I recommend you get power steering fluid that’s specified as power steering fluid. It has better additives
    3
  2739. Hi! Honestly I would shop around for KYB and even check prices for originals as they are not that much more than aftermarket
    3
  2740. I sped it up so you can see more footage but I didn’t color correct or enhance the visuals
    3
  2741. It doesn’t take a lot of space. I am very picky with things taking windshield space and it doesn’t bother me.
    3
  2742. The rear camera will be an issue with the rolling rear glass. You’ll need to customize something to fit it elsewhere not on the glass
    3
  2743. Hi! This ones shows it if it’s close but far away it’s harder to see
    3
  2744. Hi! So if the car is in front of you directly you can see the plate but if it’s far away it’s hard to read it
    3
  2745. I have not. I tried to order one but I haven’t gotten it yet. I would like to install it and see how it is and likely film a review on it
    3
  2746. Hi! I am not aware of a Toyota genuine dash cam. I’ll look into it.
    3
  2747. No staining from tires yet on the new floor
    3
  2748. Homer glen Illinois
    3
  2749. Thanks. It works pretty well actually. Only concern is finding different brushes for it.
    3
  2750. Do it manually.
    3
  2751. I’ve used the shop bay door to align headlights
    3
  2752. I would go 5w20. 5w30 is also ok but your gas mileage will slightly drop.
    3
  2753. KDSS suspension is pretty solid no issues that I have seen so far. X-REAS is terrible. One shock leaks you gotta replace the opposite axle side and the lines and accumulator and they leak a lot. I just did one this past week under extended warranty where both fronts were leaking and we ended up replacing all 4 shocks, lines and accumulators at the tune of almost $4500!
    3
  2754. Thank you for watching my videos. After the 120k mile mark the maintenance intervals reset. So technically your approaching your 60k mile service. Here’s a series that I made that goes over Toyota maintenance. https://youtu.be/xdNCnYHhEm8
    3
  2755. Hi! Thank you for watching! All 4runners are very capable off roaring. I’d leave limited models aside. The TRD pro is basically a heavier duty more off road focused trim. But a regular 4Runner in another trim is also very capable off road. Honestly they all get not so great gas mileage but that shouldn’t deter you.
    3
  2756. The 2010-2020 4Runner only came with a V6 in the US.
    3
  2757. Hi Sergio! That noise you hear is completely normal for 4runners. New ones do that and I have seen a couple with over 200k and one with over 300k miles that make the exact same noise too didn’t change.
    3
  2758. The US land cruiser yes. Worldwide land cruisers probably neck to neck. The 4Runner is really good.
    3
  2759. I would recommend you stick with Toyota fluid.
    3
  2760. It’s always amazing when we occasionally get a car from California. Not even 2 month old cars here look as clean!
    3
  2761. Hi! Thank you for the video suggestion! So when the maintenance stops in the manual it resets and goes back to the first service in the book. The timing chain doesn’t have an interval and should only be replaced if there’s an issue with it which is not common
    3
  2762. Hi bob! Thank you for watching my video. It all depends on the price. I constantly see people overpay for these trucks because they’re hard to find. I see no issue buying a good one with mileage but if the price is not reasonable I would opt for a new one especially if you plan to keep it long.
    3
  2763. This generation 4Runner didn’t come with the v8 but that v8 in the previous generation is one of the best engines Toyota made.
    3
  2764. I trust Toyota that they’ve tested it long enough to see if it’s going to negatively impact reliability as they are one of the last companies to use this system. So far we’ve had no issues with the system at all. A video is on the list to explain how that system is setup in Toyota models.
    3
  2765. Ask the selling dealership. And specifically ask them that you want the frame rust proofed. Most Toyota dealerships in Chicago will know exactly what you need and take care of it. Some of the rust proofing will come with a warranty.
    3
  2766. Tacoma guide coming very soon
    3
  2767. It’s not really better or worse. It’s just preference. Some folks like the advantage of being able to fully control the 4WD system some like to have it in full time 4WD.
    3
  2768. Hi! The land cruiser is very superior to the sequoia even though it looks on paper that they share a lot. The land cruiser is also more expensive and hold its value a lot more than the sequoia. They are both very good. The sequoia shows it’s age a lot more than the land cruiser as the sequoia is the same since 2008
    3
  2769. Honestly I wouldn’t buy a 2WD. Think of your high resale value that will be lower as 2WD are less desirable. If you buy a non limited model you have the option to drive it in 2WD
    3
  2770. And you won’t regret that decision 😀 and even if you do the resale value is so high it’s like nothing happened
    3
  2771. Hi! I personally like the 5th generation more
    3
  2772. You’re only putting 1500 miles I think it will be ok. Just make sure sure it’s a year or less if possible
    3
  2773. Hi! Mileage is not the only consideration. MaintenaNce and car plays a bigger factor. For example a 170k mile well maintained example will be much better than a 50k mile neglected example
    3
  2774. Hi! I didn’t see this comment before. I would change the oil and filter every 5000 miles. A video for the Tacoma is planned and coming in the future.
    3
  2775. The V8 is definitely more durable than the v6 in those years. The v6 is great but had a few things that the v8 didn’t have. V6 in those years had issues with oil leaks, idler noises,water pump leaks and if neglected vvti problems and even head gasket issues. The v8 even when neglected can be durable. Only issues with the v8 are somewhat expensive timing belt replacement and exhaust manifolds crack and make clicking noise when the engine is cold.
    3
  2776. Hi! The xreas will have 3 years and 36k miles of warranty. If it was my truck and it fails I’d switch it to non x reas
    3
  2777. 😂 sorry Jose no mustang
    3
  2778. Hi! 2015-2017 with good maintenance history.
    3
  2779. Hi! I wouldn’t worry. With good maintenance that engine will last. Plenty of examples with well over 200k miles have been seen and they’re good.
    3
  2780. Hi! It does work but be careful not to over do it and hydro lock the engine
    3
  2781. Hi! Induction service sends a cleaner into the intake to clean things. Walnut blasting is a physical mechanical cleaning of the valves which works very well if you have heavy build up on the intake valve that’s causing issues
    3
  2782. If you have carbon build up on the valves and you have the plenum off, I would manually clean them first to get the big chunks off then run a cleaner for the left over stuff. And you want an induction service through the intake not an injector cleaner that runs through the injectors for direct injected cara
    3
  2783. It’s possible but aftermarket. Wish Toyota would offer that option
    3
  2784. Honestly they’re all the same! Go with what you like looks and options wise
    3
  2785. The tundra series is definitely planned. Likely the TNGA one first though
    3
  2786. True! But at least you have projectors in the later ones vs the reflectors
    3
  2787. Thank you for watching and congratulations on your Tacoma purchase! Take care of it and it will take care of you.
    3
  2788. Hi! Not Italian or Armenian 😉
    3
  2789. Hi! Either are good but the flush needs to be followed by a fluid level check
    3
  2790. Hi! 2018+
    3
  2791. So if you’re under warranty just mention the AC not working in a hot day IF it is indeed not working right and they’ll take care of it.
    3
  2792. Hi! Thank you for watching! I am in the Chicago area that’s quite a drive for you
    3
  2793. Hi! I would buy aftermarket for sure.
    3
  2794. I would highly recommend you try the original one. I haven’t seen a wiper that works better. Just make sure you don’t get the sight line as those are terrible
    3
  2795. Hi! I think it’s a great car with good maintenance. It’s definitely worth the money as they are reliable and hold their value well
    3
  2796. Hi! Sounds from the dash can happen to any car. Usually simple to resolve with some foam insulation. Try to find the pattern and hold different areas of the dash to find where you put your hand and it stops then take it to the dealership and tell them the source and they’ll take care of it under warranty
    3
  2797. Hi! It’s called lunar rock
    3
  2798. Hi! I will address this in a video coming in the near future
    3
  2799. Hi Ricky! Honestly they’re both very good options for long term ownership. Hybrids are really good for fuel economy but can be a bit different than your average car. I would drive one or even rent one if possible for a few days to make sure you like the way hybrids drive. If not go with the gasoline and keep up the maintenance and you’ll have it for a long time
    3
  2800. Hi! If the weather is cold I would give the engine a few minutes to warm up
    3
  2801. Hi! If everything is working at the moment and you have a paid subscription then you’re good. If you are still on the trial when the trail ends and you start your subscription make sure all the functions work if not stop by your dealership and they’ll take care of it. It seems the 2021 models things are a bit better
    3
  2802. Hi! So the battery bars when they are low it doesn’t mean the battery is actually low. It just means that within the limit of operation of the battery it’s towards the lower limit. You won’t drain the battery to a critical level as the computer won’t allow it. Try light braking at highway speeds to regenerate more and charge up the battery.
    3
  2803. I can!
    3
  2804. Thank you for watching my video and your video suggestion! I will cover a bit on this when in my series on how engine control work in the part of throttle by wire.
    3
  2805. Hi! The 2018 for simplicity and the 2019+ for features and gas mileage. I would drive both and see which one you like more. The 8 speed can be odd feeling but that’s normal. If you’re not sure find a 2020-2021 RAV4 for rent through Toyota rent a car and test drive it for a couple of days to see how you like it. Better spend 100-150 bucks on a rental than be stuck with a car you don’t like.
    3
  2806. I would.
    3
  2807. Hi Brother! The lexus NX so far has been holding good. The turbo engine has been relatively problem free so far.

  2808. Hi George. The D4S engines are very loud, but it’s not reason for concern as that’s their normal noise because of the direct injectors and high pressure pump. The A25A does have a high thermal efficiency that’s why it’s efficient and powerful for its size
    3
  2809. Hi! I would definitely bring it up to your dealerships attention as soon as possible and get it fixed under warranty
    3
  2810. Hi! You can use S mode for engine braking but not on daily driving as it does put stress on the transmission. Use it when driving on a hilly road and going down hill to help the brakes not fade.
    3
  2811. Reliability wise likely the RAV4 is best
    3
  2812. Hi! No you didn’t make a mistake
    3
  2813. Hi! I personally have not seen the leak or heard of it before. I’ll update with a video if this becomes a big issue
    3
  2814. Hi! If it doesn’t have a burnt smell yes I’d replace it very soon
    3
  2815. Hi! It won’t shut itself off. You can leave it running just make sure it’s not an enclosed area like a closed parking lot
    3
  2816. Hi! Toyota safety sense is an offline system that doesn’t use the internet.perhaps the connected service in the previous generation which could be the case
    3
  2817. Hi Tony. This is not an issue, the heat pump system has a limitation with extreme cold weather. The RAV4 prime is not a Tesla and when you are in these cold weather conditions the engine will come on to supplement the heat which is not an issue and is like that by design. And I think I have an idea of who the one prime owner is 😉
    3
  2818. They do get better the more you drive them. I'm keeping a watch on those 8 speeds as they have been interesting. But believe it or not when the 6 speed came out back in the day, people didn't like it either and now it's the 6 speed that's preferred over the 8 speed.
    3
  2819. Hi! So that is a normal condition with these. Due to the design of the smart key, if it doesn't shut off when you open the door someone can break the window get in the car and actually drive away with the car. So it will shut off if you open the door or press the brake pedal.
    3
  2820. Hi! As long as you don’t exceed the towing limit in your owners manual you’re good.
    3
  2821. Yea isolated cases and seem isolated to the 2019 models
    3
  2822. Thank you! Awesome suggestion I’ll try going forward to add them to the description and go back to older videos and do It thank you!
    3
  2823. Not from what I've seen. They seem pretty consistent.
    3
  2824. Hi Daniel. The insulation is similar to the camry, However being a taller car wind noise is slightly more at higher speeds in my opinion. The engine noise is not as loud inside the cabin with windows closed as it is with windows open and parked next to a wall.
    3
  2825. The rapid start of the engine tends to build up pressure faster than your conventional engine with a slow turning starter
    3
  2826. Hi! noise insulation
    3
  2827. Hi! Thank you for watching my video! I haven’t seen the roof leak yet
    3
  2828. Yes replace the seal itself. I don’t like or advice that you use products to stop leaks as they could cause other issues
    3
  2829. Hi! I don’t advise it. That puts the most wear on the synchros
    3
  2830. Hi! I wouldn’t do it. Even though it doesn’t grind it does put a tremendous amount of wear on the synchros
    3
  2831. Hi! If I understood your question correctly. Manual shifting an automatic is not something I recommend
    3
  2832. Yes the windshield actually has a couple cracks so it’s getting replaced as well after this or possibly after the body work
    3
  2833. Hi! If it’s chattering or slowing down as it goes up try spraying silicone spray on the window run channel the rubber where the glass goes up and down.
    3
  2834. It does have 600,000 miles. That’s a lot of time in a car things do happen. Not everyone is into keeping a car clean
    3
  2835. Thank you!
    3
  2836. Hi! I would replace it every 5 years. The first replacement is 100k miles then every 50k after that. The eCVT and diff fluid video should be out next week
    3
  2837. When you get to the ac make sure it’s charged with the correct oil. Hybrids use a special oil and if you use regular oil you could damage the compressor. The flex pipe is common, Easy and inexpensive to fix at muffler shop. Sorry to hear about the accident on the v6 glad it’s not major!
    3
  2838. Hi! I recommend you replace the coolant the initial replacement at 160k kms or 5 years then every 90-100k kms or 5 years
    3
  2839. Hi Dominic! You are correct on the colors! I always liked the colors from the shop and when I did my garage I went with similar colors. The darker grey at the bottom give a a darker contrast and is easier to hide dirt from working on cars. The white upper part amplifies the light and the red line gives it a striking look.
    3
  2840. Hi! Probably 10-15 minutes
    3
  2841. Yes you can. Just don’t drive the car in maintenance mode
    3
  2842. Hi! Yes it’s the same for your Prius. Just make sure you look in the reservoir for the swirl. If you don’t see it then you need to open the bleeders and put the hoses but if you see the swirling then you’re good.
    3
  2843. There’s no valve closing the heater core
    3
  2844. Hi! I personally would.
    3
  2845. Hi! You can use this method for your Avalon hybrid
    3
  2846. Hi! You’ll hear it or sometimes it comes at low speed you’ll see it spinning. The cooling fan is between the radiator and the engine
    3
  2847. Hi! It works the same.
    3
  2848. Hi! For both engine and inverter the first replacement is 100k miles or 5 years. After that every 50k miles or 5 years
    3
  2849. Hi! Thank you for watching my video. A comprehensive video on Toyota hybrid transmission fluid replacement is coming out next week. And the washer for the inverter drain in this video is the same part no. For the transmission drain and fill plugs
    3
  2850. Anti seize should be ok to use and wouldn’t cause loosening
    3
  2851. Hi! I would start by jump starting it. That is the typical scenario of a weak 12v battery. Get the battery tested and charged as needed.
    3
  2852. Hi. On the 4 cylinder engines there’s no bleeder. The v6 2gr engine does have a bleeder and needs a specific procedure to bleed
    3
  2853. Just simply shut off the car and restart it and you’re out of maintenance mode
    3
  2854. Thank you for watching my video Paul! So the first replacement the first 5 years or 100k then every 5 years or 50k miles
    3
  2855. Hi! Leave the cap off until you’re done bleeding then install it.
    3
  2856. Hi Hugo! Thank you for watching! This is not the same engine in the Tacoma. A newer updated version of this engine is in the 2016+ Tacoma which also leaks exactly the same. The older Tacoma had a similar block but different cylinder heads. These leaks are really random. Some leak as low as 15k miles some go 200k miles without leaking
    3
  2857. Hi! So this is still a mystery honestly. The highest rate of this leak is on sienna and highlander models. Also 05-10 Avalon was very common but the later ones no. The Camry even the older ones is very rare to see one leaking. Venza is less common as well. It has nothing to do with maintenance really it’s just the sealer if it was applied well or not
    3
  2858. Thank you Dan!
    3
  2859. 00295-01281
    3
  2860. Hi! This was honestly not maintained judging by the inside of the engine. Oil changes were hopefully done around 10k miles and some of them were closer to 15k miles from the service history.
    3
  2861. The newer models have been doing good. There was a rough patch around 2018-2019 but now they’re good. The last year of this engine I think was the 2016 highlander sienna and the 2017 Camry
    3
  2862. Gaskets really don’t hold well at all especially on this design. A sealer actually works better but is harder to apply.
    3
  2863. Hi! Hard to tell without an inspection. Check the suspension including ball joints and control arms. If you suspect an issue spray it down with silicone spray and see if the noise goes away
    3
  2864. Video on engine cleaning will come in the spring time
    3
  2865. Hi! The timing chain typically lasts the life of the engine on these.
    3
  2866. No 50k miles.
    3
  2867. Hi! If it’s in good shape that’s a good price
    3
  2868. Hi! If memory serves right 2016
    3
  2869. Good idea! Thank you Marjan!
    3
  2870. Hi Rebecca. That price is ridiculous and extremely high! I would shop around other dealerships. I would expect to pay way less than $1000 for sure more like $500 or even less!
    3
  2871. Hi! Likely the direct injection and the design of that engine. That price is ridiculous. This is a 2 hour labor job and the plugs are not that expensive.
    3
  2872. Hi! It’s potentially an emissions requirement and it does affect the emissions warranty. Possibly because of the addition of the direct injection to this engine.
    3
  2873. The Tacoma is much easier. I plan to do a video on it coming soon
    3
  2874. Thank you! I think this floor has 5 years with us. After that I’ll definitely look into a different coating that can withstand objects being dropped on it better.
    3
  2875. Usually it takes a lot of takes in the previous story videos. This one was better but still the Mexico trip story took a few tries!
    3
  2876. No problem in using premium but it doesn’t really add any benefit to the truck
    3
  2877. Choose can bus.
    3
  2878. Hi! This is Mrs CarCareNut department 😃 I’ll let her know thank you!
    3
  2879. Hi! Most modern cars will warm up to good operating conditions within 5-10 minutes a good indication of operating temperature is the gauge being between hot and cold
    3
  2880. Hi! It needs to be tested for moisture content but usually around 3 years. A video for brake fluid replacement is planned and coming in the future
    3
  2881. Hi! The funnel I’m using is made by snap on. This is an equivalent one on Amazon and it does work on most modern Toyota engines including your RAV4 Motivx Tools Engine Oil Funnel for Toyota, Lexus, and Scion Vehicles with Threaded Oil Filler Caps – Fits Most Camry, Corolla, RAV4, Tacoma, Highlander, Sienna, Tundra, RX350 and Many More https://www.amazon.com/dp/B016FVJUX0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_DXhcGbAN1Q5QY
    3
  2882. Hi! Thank you for the video suggestion. The stripped bolt doesn’t carry over directly in the 6th gen but if overheated it can happen.
    3
  2883. Hi! You can do that. Or just running it at idle. If there’s a leak on the canister you’ll see it right away.
    3
  2884. Hi! Hybrids use an electrical compressor so even if the engine is not running the compressor is on and it actually works pretty good for hot climate.
    3
  2885. Hey brother! Thanks for the heads up I’ll check them out!
    3
  2886. Hi! I wouldn’t switch the older one, you can switch the newer ones safely to 5w20
    3
  2887. I think they are both similar cars. The Toyota badged one will likely cost less in insurance. I would look into that as well.
    3
  2888. Hi! They work however if you take care of your car usually you don’t need any products.
    3
  2889. Hi! It is different in a way that it only has additives that toyota engines need. Mobil one might have more additives to suit all makes and models requirements but it doesn’t make it better though just similar
    3
  2890. Hi! It wouldn’t hurt but not something I highly recommend as the filter does just that.
    3
  2891. Hi! Honestly amsoil is very good but it’s also very expensive. If you change the engine oil on time you won’t have any issues with Mobil one other than more money saved for the same result
    3
  2892. I would use the fuel efficient mode Mobil 1
    3
  2893. Usually a very long breaker bar works but you gotta replace the housing afterwards.
    3
  2894. Hi! I personally don’t use Lucas products. I heard good things about them but with that engine timely oil changes is all they need and I would be a bit wary about oil additives in that particular engine due to its oil dependency to actuate the variable valve timing
    3
  2895. Hi Chris. Honestly I specialize with Toyota and won’t have the same knowledge with Ford engines as they age. However if you made it to 400k with 5w20 and you have no issues I would continue honestly.
    3
  2896. Hi! They don’t need to be serviced unless there are issues. All the ones I’ve pulled they rarely has any debris on them as the oil filter does a better job.
    3
  2897. I would replace it every 5k or 6 months on your corolla
    3
  2898. Hi Nate. I explained some of this in a previous video. But the basic idea is that those marks are wear from seized piston rings from lack of maintenance or incorrect oil change intervals. See this video for more details https://youtu.be/v4JS7PybV2k
    3
  2899. Aftermarket brakes are hit and miss. some are very good and some are not so much. typical issues with aftermarket brake parts that are not so good is noice and early vibrations from warped rotors.
    3
  2900. I would still go with 6 months
    3
  2901. Hi! I would actually change it every 6 months.
    3
  2902. Hi! If you use good quality gas like top tier fuel you should have no issue. This engine isn’t prone to carbon build up
    3
  2903. Hi! I haven’t found a cap with a lock that works well yet
    3
  2904. It’s a hog ring plier. Can be bought off of Amazon
    3
  2905. Hi! At this point they’ve all caught up and have similar hybrid systems however when this came out in 2016 it was much more advanced than the other hybrid models
    3
  2906. Convenience as it automatically engages
    3
  2907. Hi! Should be the same changes yes
    3
  2908. Hi! Very close honestly they share the same powertrain and hybrid system
    3
  2909. It’s just in case there’s a small leak. Because of the battery cooling they want the system to always be at optimum performance
    3
  2910. Hi! Most of them are. They really haven’t changed much drivetrain wise for a while.
    3
  2911. Hi! The last Toyota with a timing belt was the 2010 highlander hybrid. Timing chains are louder but don’t have a replacement interval and after the years that have proven to be true unless there’s other issues affecting the chain.
    3
  2912. Timing belts made the engine very quiet. But also added the maintenance as belts don’t last as much as chains do
    3
  2913. Hi! Many options out there. Find one that plugs into the power outlet for the least intrusion
    3
  2914. Hi! As you get past 80 things drop a bit once you get past 90 things really drop
    3
  2915. Hi! It will depend on your use. I would check it every few months and adjust your interval accordingly
    3
  2916. Hi! The difference is a combination of the battery type and the lower weight because it has less options
    3
  2917. Hi! From everything that’s circulating there could be a corolla cross hybrid coming soon.
    3
  2918. Hi! It shouldn’t be an issue with cold weather
    3
  2919. Hi! That’s normal.
    3
  2920. Hi! A hybrid is ok if you use ac at all times
    3
  2921. Hi! It would be if you like them and don’t drive very fast.
    3
  2922. Hi! That is a lie. The warranty covers the car for the duration of the warranty regardless of the supplier.
    3
  2923. Hi! Updates are issued to resolve problems if they occur but not regular updates to improve things as these are final products
    3
  2924. Hi! Gas mileage does drop slightly for winter at a similar rate as gasoline only mileage drops. Sea salt air is not hard on hybrids
    3
  2925. Hi! The buzzing could be a bad speaker or needs some additional insulation. Have the dealership check it
    3
  2926. Hi! You can use Eco at all times without issues
    3
  2927. Hi Eddie. Technically they made the change in 2013 and more updated on 2016+. I haven’t seen any 2016+ EGR problems yet
    3
  2928. Awesome! Thank you for watching my videos! Shout out to you and your team. Still the nicest warranty to work with compared to others.
    3
  2929. Hi! Yes I still work at a Toyota dealership
    3
  2930. It wouldn’t hurt to remove the pipe from the manifold to the valve to see how everything is looking. That’s easy to do and will give you a clear answer. If you see build up it might be worth cleaning it. But if it’s clean I would leave it alone
    3
  2931. Hi! Any warning lights or loss of oil? And what color is the smoke?
    3
  2932. Yes something that plugs into the obd connector plenty of options out there to show you data
    3
  2933. Hi! This engine has a build in oil separator. Updating the software and replacing the valve with the updated one is enough to prevent it from happening again.
    3
  2934. Hi! As B me mentioned you can use a light degreaser and agitate everything with a brush then either use water to clean it off avoiding electrical connectors
    3
  2935. The 1GR in the new 4runner is great in my opinion. A bit on the loud side but otherwise as good and lesser maintenance than the 5vz
    3
  2936. Hi Chris! Amsoil makes very good products. But my honest opinion is that their cost is high and the benefit from using their products vs say using the cheaper oem fluids is really not worth the extra expense. OEM fluids in my opinion remain superior.
    3
  2937. Hi! Honestly at this mileage I wouldn’t replace it as you could cause issues. And the procedure to replace the fluid is very simple especially for a experienced mechanic
    3
  2938. Hi! Hard to say which one has the lowest cost but I’d say the 2015-2017 Camry in the modern ones seem to be edging over the rest at the moment
    3
  2939. I wouldn’t sell it! This video is meant to bring your attention when buying a used one! Take care of your truck and it will take care of you! If you get one of these issues after 100k then another after 200k I wouldn’t call that bad!
    3
  2940. Hi! I wouldn’t be scared. This truck is a very good truck overall when compared to others. All the problems in this video happening during your ownership is the worst case scenario and most if not all owners will not have every single issue. You’ve had a couple of the issues I mentioned but not all and likely won’t if you continue to take care of your truck
    3
  2941. Hi! Fluid film is a good product and can be DIY as well. It works very well but needs yearly or bi-yearly touch ups to keep it effective
    3
  2942. Hi! The idea of these videos is being awareness that buying a Toyota blindly just because it’s a Toyota is a mistake. Toyotas are well made cars and far more reliable than others. However neglected ones can easily be more problematic than others as their parts are expensive and while reliable they can be complicated to fix when neglected. I see too many people that buy toyotas without an inspection and expect them to be reliable and when they’re not because they were neglected they are disappointed with Toyota while they should actually be more careful with their homework before buying one.
    3
  2943. Hi! The axles are easy to pull. Getting the bearing off of the axle is tough. You’ll need to press it out and press it back on. There are some special tools involved. You’ll likely end up needing to cut the race of the bearing that will stick on the axle
    3
  2944. Thank you for watching!
    3
  2945. Hi larry! The exact same review video for the Tacoma is coming this Saturday.
    3
  2946. At this mileage it’s borderline where I feel comfortable changing the fluid. If anything a simple drain and fill is all I would do.
    3
  2947. Hi! Replace the torque converter update the software and install new magnets
    3
  2948. One of the best Camry models ever made! Especially a 2000-2001 v6! Very hard to find them in really good shape these days and where I’m from in Chicago they’re rusting pretty bad at this age. But if you’re outside the rust belt you can’t go wrong buying one that’s in good shape
    3
  2949. Yes it’s very possible. Check the oil level. If it’s low that’s the issue.
    3
  2950. I’ll be honest if the 2004 doesn’t have any issues and is not rusting or anything I would just keep it. The 2014.5 is a great choice as well. I really like the 2004 Camry that’s why I would say don’t rush.
    3
  2951. Hi! It learns overtime. If you have shifting issues and don’t want to wait for it to relearn then reset the memory to accelerate the process
    3
  2952. The 2015-2017 are a bit better overall but in my personal opinion the 2012-2014 look better especially in the SE trim
    3
  2953. Hi! Replacing the hood shocks is the fix for your problem.
    3
  2954. Hi! These can last a long time with good maintenance
    3
  2955. The torque converter issue with these is a one time deal. Once fixed right and the software updated you shouldn’t see it again just like the 2015-2017 which has the exact same transmission.
    3
  2956. Ryan Brown you’re welcome! Best wishes for you and your Camry hybrid
    3
  2957. Hey brother, honestly if you don’t live in a rusty area there’s no mechanical limits that I’d worry about. Every year it would be a good idea to go over the car making sure everything is good and safe and repair as needed. But with your Camry odds are you’ll still be asking yourself the same question at 300k miles. Just keep up the maintenance and keep going!
    3
  2958. Could you take a video of the noise and email it to me?
    3
  2959. I’d recommend both but make sure they have good service history and continue 5k oil changes and you should have no issues
    3
  2960. Hi! It can pickup the proximity of the sensor to the receiver and know which is which. It does take some time after you rotate them for it to actually pick them up again
    3
  2961. Thank you for watching my video! So I like your strategy but I would add weather change if you live in an area where weather changes significantly. Everytime the temps drop very low from season change and it falls between your 6 months or 5k I would check the pressures.
    3
  2962. Hi! Inflating and deflating the tires is next. If it doesn’t do it then there might be an issue with one of the sensors. Perhaps one got broken when the change happened?
    3
  2963. I personally haven’t tried to install Denso branded ones but denso is one of the main supplier of parts for Toyota so I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the exact same one from Toyota.
    3
  2964. Hi! The reset button on the indirect resets everything and it starts to recheck. So if you change tires or rotate them it’s a good idea to reset it. The indirect doesn’t have a threshold as it doesn’t measure the Actual tire pressure.
    3
  2965. It’s not a problem and that’s what I would do. Another expensive route would be to buy 4 new sensors and have them programmed every time you swap them. Not worth it though.
    3
  2966. Hi! I am not familiar with blue driver and fox well scanners however Carista can program sensors on certain models and I have a video coming out soon for that scanner
    3
  2967. Thanks my brother!
    3
  2968. Awesome! You’d be surprised how many dealerships don’t know about this. And unfortunately some of them pretend like they don’t know
    3
  2969. Hi jay! I was waiting for someone to notice! New camera! The GoPro is great for DIY videos but this new cannon m50 mirror less makes the video look nicer.
    3
  2970. It’s old style
    3
  2971. I’m actually testing out a few for an upcoming video to see what holds and what doesn’t
    3
  2972. Had to do it and it hurt. It’s ceramic coated so we should be ok
    3
  2973. Hi! At this point I would leave it alone as you could cause issues changing it now
    3
  2974. Hi! I’ll update you in a video when there’s good information on this one
    3
  2975. I’ll get you information on this one when it’s available
    3
  2976. Hi! It’s the same no different gearing
    3
  2977. Hi! Yes install the cap back and make sure all your bleeders are closed then pump the pedal before you drive away
    3
  2978. Hi! It doesn’t make a difference really
    3
  2979. It doesn’t make any difference honestly. Most modern cars have dedicated lines to each wheel
    3
  2980. I believe I covered this in the live stream try to rock the tune back and forth
    3
  2981. Hi! That is a very good thing to do. Let it soak then try them
    3
  2982. You don’t need to. Follow the procedure in this video on hybrids both front and back
    3
  2983. Hi! No specific order
    3
  2984. Hi! When you’re just replacing the fluid there’s no order needed
    3
  2985. The D7 can do this. Contact the manufacturer and they can send you a list of exact features for your car
    3
  2986. They can be tricky to get out and can get stuck. Get it out and pull the fluid out first
    3
  2987. There’s no problem using a pressure bleeder. Just the same precautions apply
    3
  2988. Hi! Engine off and ignition off and all bleeders closed
    3
  2989. Keep an eye on it! I usually post a few things on it here and there
    3
  2990. Hi! Once you get the fluid out of the reservoir initially fill it to the max line. Then as you pull fluid out of the bleeders keep topping off the reservoir so it won’t drop below minimum. Then the amount you pull into the container of that tool is more than enough to clear each line
    3
  2991. Hi! It wouldn’t hurt. You can’t cause harm by replacing it late.
    3
  2992. Thank you for watching my videos! I totally agree that some dealerships are horrible and dishonest. That’s why I always recommend if you find one you’re comfortable with that do good honest work stick with them
    3
  2993. Very well said! I have nothing against the forums and I actually think they are a great place for car owners to communicate and get a lot of knowledge. However sometimes the information people give on forums are missing, incomplete or flat wrong. And some people will take that information over a word of a professional. I’ll include a similar story on the next stories video
    3
  2994. Hi! I respect Scotty Kilmer. He reminds me a lot of a mentor I had years back. There are things I agree with him on and things that I don’t. just like he would with me. It’s still a mystery to me and many content creators how he has the time to film,edit and publish daily and some times multiple times a day! It’s a lot of work to produce a video on YouTube from planning to filming to editing!
    3
  2995. Very true! Dealerships try to avoid that in cases of customers trying to take advantage because then it’s open season for everyone to get their money back
    3
  2996. Hi! I wouldn’t worry about the transmission cooler unless you’re seeing very high temps on the trans fluid. Dealerships typically don’t install them as they would be an aftermarket accessory
    3
  2997. Really hard to tell. Some fail as early as 100k some go 300k
    3
  2998. Hi Juan. So repeating this process is a sure way to damage the canister. One time you should be ok
    3
  2999. So far we don’t have a fix on this issue from Toyota. I’m hoping soon there will be a fix
    3
  3000. Roger S my pleasure!
    3
  3001. Hello roger! I hear you! This issue is taking a little longer to resolve but it will get taken care of.
    3
  3002. I wouldn’t top off in any climate. I respect your dads opinion, however that could’ve been true with older cars without evap. Newer cars have plastic tanks and unless you’re storing the car moisture shouldn’t be an issue
    3
  3003. Hi! Usually if there’s standing gas in the charcoal canister it is damaged and won’t recover. However drive it for sometime and see what happens
    3
  3004. Hi! Honestly I wouldn’t. You’ll just end up clogging more things and bot really fixing it long term
    3
  3005. Regular maintenance on the coolant helps
    3
  3006. Hi! It would be a similar procedure as the one in this video
    3
  3007. Hi! Unfortunately other than these 2 sources there’s no other source. Look inside the engine and see. If it really did not have any oil changes it will be very obvious. Could’ve been maintained at a facility that doesn’t report to carfax
    3
  3008. Hi! Honestly no it’s not worth it. I did ask around and no real answer that makes sense why they switched the newer ones
    3
  3009. Tough one. With good maintenance I hope they both last that long without issues
    3
  3010. I believe your referring to transmission fluid?
    3
  3011. I think it’s a great car! With good maintenance you will no issues keeping it for a long time.
    3
  3012. Have the dealership reset the transmission memory
    3
  3013. They seem pretty reliable. Only reasons I’ve seen them fail( and cost a small fortune to replace original) is water intrusion or accidents. Usually water intrusion is caused by accidents and a cracked lens.
    3
  3014. Hi! The cvt transmission in that year is very reliable with good maintenance and so is the car as a whole. As long as it’s been taken care of it will be a great purchase.
    3
  3015. I am not familiar with the aisin fluid and I personally wouldn’t use any transmission fluid that’s not original. I would research on people who’ve used it. It was later corollas that had the fuel pump recall don’t quote me as I could be wrong but it seemed like 2018-2019 models
    3
  3016. Thank you for your kind words! It means the world to me to help as much as I can. Regarding your question there’s a very simple way to find out. Open the hood and look for a transmission dipstick. If you don’t have it you have a CVT if you have a transmission dipstick it’s a regular automatic. Also note that the regular automatic was completely dropped by the year 2017 and up. Hope this helps.
    3
  3017. The 17-19 are good. The safety features that are added are reliable unless the cars been in an accident and not fixed right
    3
  3018. Hi! Haven’t driven one yet. We’ll get one in the future hopefully and do a full review
    3
  3019. Hi! I would get it tested and replaced as needed
    3
  3020. Hi! It could be pad shift. Take the pins out and move the pads up and down and see if they move. And do you use tire shine?
    3
  3021. Hi! You can’t at a dealership level for a car that will need to pass emissions
    3
  3022. Hi! I don’t have the exact break down but you can run the numbers. Labor was around 26 hours at $140 an hour. The short block if memory serves right was around $2600
    3
  3023. Hi! It is the same issue for the Prius
    3
  3024. I recommend it for all models
    3
  3025. Because they follow the normal service schedule. Most drivers however fall under severe
    3
  3026. Hi! I try my best to help junior mechanics when they need it so they can do the same when they are experienced
    3
  3027. Hi! I wouldn’t waste money or time on a KN filter. Buy a regular paper filter and call it a day. Get some red Toyota coolant and some distilled water and mix it 50-50
    3
  3028. Hi! If The water pump is not leaking or has play I wouldn’t. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it
    3
  3029. Hi! Not yet that will be coming in the near future
    3
  3030. You can but likely won’t get everything out of the mesh. It’s not hard to remove the seat and pull the panels and I encourage you to try it.
    3
  3031. Hi! If they’re clean I would leave them alone. Unless you see debris on the filter there’s no need to take it apart.
    3
  3032. You’re welcome! The hybrid fan is buried in this one. Glad they put filters. Heavy disassembly of the interior is needed to get to the fan.it’s towards the back of the battery
    3
  3033. Hi! I would change the transmission and hybrid rear transaxle every 60-90k miles
    3
  3034. That is on the list. The shops been super busy lately. Once we get a chance to film one we’ll get it done
    3
  3035. Hi! Just make sure it’s not rusty and has been taken care of. They’re common for oil leaks at this age. Inspect it well to know what condition it’s in
    3
  3036. Yes you can! The car will run ok even if it’s burning oil. As long as you keep the oil level from getting low you’re good. Unfortunately the program has expired for most cars so it can’t get it fixed under warranty
    3
  3037. If it’s in good shape and has been well taken care of and you checked the common issues in this video I’d go for it, it’s a good car and if you continue to take care of it you will have this car for a long time.
    3
  3038. If the engine has been repaired for oil consumption then yes it’s a good car to buy
    3
  3039. Yes they are a bit different and this was the first video of the channel. Plan in the future to go back and add the hybrid video for this one
    3
  3040. Hi! I would still take it in to check it. That’s very low mileage but still you’d want to know what condition the car is in.
    3
  3041. Hi! So it could help but that engine did have a design issue that was resolved with new pistons and rings. But cleaning the piston rings with detergent can help but the chances of success are less in this engine.
    3
  3042. Hi! This was the first video of the channel. Check out other videos the sound is better
    3
  3043. That’s a good price if the car is in good shape
    3
  3044. These models could develop oil consumption if neglected. They take quite a bit of neglect on oil changes to start burning oil but normally good maintained ones don’t have the same issues as 07-09
    3
  3045. I’d sacrifice a bit of gas mileage to reduce oil consumption honestly.
    3
  3046. You can see the front cover and the one side of the upper oil pan from the top. By the alternator and behind the exhaust manifold.
    3
  3047. The black sealer is called FIPG used by Toyota dealership to seal engines. The valve cover gasket has a gasket. Components like the front timing cover, oil pan and the upper oil pan use the black sealer
    3
  3048. Thank you very much! I'm glad you like it!
    3
  3049. The common leak is around the reservoir. You got 2 hoses coming off of it. Follow them and see if you see fluid leaking.
    3
  3050. The oil consumption on the 2005 is better than the 07-09 however I’ve seen 2005 burn oil from lack of maintenance but if it’s well maintained you should have no issues.
    3
  3051. E.G. IV I think if the car is in good shape and has been taken care of I think that’s a good price. But even with that I’d still negotiate to perhaps drop it closer to 5k if it’s really in good shape. Best of luck to you.
    3
  3052. شكرا حبيبي
    3
  3053. Thank you!
    3
  3054. Thank you!
    3
  3055. Thank you!
    3
  3056. Thank you Sergio! Names Ahmed ( AhMeD = AMD )
    3
  3057. Hi! They the same drivetrain except the transfer case and the front different to make full time part time 4WD work. I personally like the trd off road premium. I like the limited interior but don’t like the xreas
    3
  3058. Hi! Thank you for watching my channel! So on the shims you’d want to use specialized brake grease that is sold by Toyota. It contains graphite. On the slide pins you can use high temperature grease in small amounts
    3
  3059. Hi! Yes adjust the rear parking brake shoes. That is your primary adjustment point. Give them a few clicks at a time until you are happy with the hold level.
    3
  3060. Yep basically but this one is reliable! I wouldn’t get the extended warranty because almost all failures I’ve seen were in very high mileage and usually honestly in the previous generation. Plus they’re super easy to replace and you can actually find them cheaper through wholesale in your dealership. Regularly check the brake fluid and replace it when moisture is high and all will be well.
    3
  3061. Will do
    3
  3062. I hear you. But I drove a car with crossclimate 2 and they were noisier than what I like. I’m super picky with noise
    3
  3063. We’re gonna remove it and clean it properly when we do the starter
    3
  3064. To reduce the output of the alternator when not needed to reduce drag and improve emissions
    3
  3065. Hi! Toyota reman is good and in my book as good as new and leaps and bounds better than aftermarket
    3
  3066. Hi! Honestly if it’s not broken I wouldn’t fix it. The alternator and water pump are somewhat common on these but also their availability and ease of replacement. I wouldn’t replace them if they don’t have issues
    3
  3067. If it’s a v6 Camry then that’s right it’s labor intensive and you do have to remove the fan shroud and/or the radiator to get to the alternator. If it is a 4 cylinder run away from that shop
    3
  3068. Thank you so much! I will definitely take your suggestion! Thank you for your valued input! God bless you and keep you!
    3
  3069. Coming early 2023
    3
  3070. Hi! The permanent fault is not an issue. It will go on its own after some time. Don’t worry about it
    3
  3071. Interesting... try a memory reset. Disconnect the battery for at least 1/2 hour and see if that changes things. Initially the idle will be odd but give it a few days
    3
  3072. Yep! Works like a charm! I always could tell when opening an engine with 10k oil changes abs 5k oil changes. The difference is big
    3
  3073. Hi! Until grease comes out
    3
  3074. Honestly I wouldn’t chase after it. Wouldn’t hurt to clean the IAC though
    3
  3075. Hi! Check fuel trims at idle fully warmed up no load. Checking them while driving is inaccurate
    3
  3076. Thank you for watching Randy and thank you for the feedback. I felt another live data video would be helpful to this series as the data shown in this video is likely 1/10 of the data available
    3
  3077. Hi! I honestly don’t have experience with the current CX-9 to give a fair comparison but I know the older ones were absolute junk. The Rx350 and highlanders are very good SUVs more focused on reliability than drivability which is where the CX might have the upper hand.
    3
  3078. I’m trying to get one to do a similar review
    3
  3079. Hi! I have one in my car. It works well as long as proper maintenance and fluid choice are followed
    3
  3080. Hi! Long time no hear Stephane! Hope you’re doing well. I haven’t really seen a lot of issues with the manual transmission other than the squeaky clutch pedal. On the plugs there’s no reason that I see not to take them all off but Toyota have specific instructions to leave the 2 and remove the one so far we haven’t gotten an exact answer why
    3
  3081. Hi! No issues with the CHR yet. I would take them the same way though
    3
  3082. So far no issues with it
    3
  3083. That would’ve made the apex model more appealing!
    3
  3084. Hi! It should work on your model if you can use apple CarPlay using the cable
    3
  3085. Hi! I’m in the Chicago area
    3
  3086. Congratulations! Take care of the van and it will take care of you!
    3
  3087. Test your battery. Common for those to throw all kinds of random codes when the battery is weak especially the crankshaft position sensor code
    3
  3088. If you can find a good condition 2005-2006 I would go for it if you are working on the car yourself. If you want a but newer I would stay with 2008-2009 in good condition. A good condition car would have none or very minor issues that are mentioned in my 2 videos.
    3
  3089. Glad you had it checked out. Plenty of siennas out there for sale. You’ll find one that has no issues or at least if buying one with a few issues you can negotiate the price and know ahead of time what it will take to fix them and how important they are.
    3
  3090. Hi Amanda. I would take the 2010 123k with meticulous records. Drive it around 40mph and let go of the gas and make sure you don’t hear any rattling noises after you let go of the gas. I’d rather you buy a car with good service history than some service history. And even though it has good history I would still have a mechanic check it over before you buy it. 10k is a lot of money and you’d want to make sure you know the actual condition of the car at the moment before you buy it. Best wishes with your purchase.
    3
  3091. Hi! There’s no replacement interval for these sensors. If they’re not broken don’t fix them. Denso is a good brand and in most cases is the OEM supplier
    3
  3092. Technically I was first 😉 😂
    3
  3093. Will do. That’s actually part of it
    3
  3094. That is a very good explanation!
    3
  3095. Hi! O2 sensors can give false readings however around 2005 they went to a whole different programming for sensors where the computer checks them. I will dive deeper into this in the advanced diagnosis video
    3
  3096. Thank you Emad! I thought about it but the Toyota attire is trademarked so I don’t want to get Toyota upset
    3
  3097. Hi! For bank 1 a lean code would be P0171 for rich it would be pP0172.
    3
  3098. Next video in this series alongside the scan tool
    3
  3099. Hi! On the filter there are many theories one of them is to reduce waste. The fluttering sound, could you record a video and share?
    3
  3100. It seems like it was updated as they stopped showing up with leaks
    3
  3101. The rumors are 4 cylinder turbo.
    3
  3102. Hi! I haven’t seen any past 2017. It seems most of them are 2016-2017. It’s not impossible to replace but it is difficult and is a very tight spot
    3
  3103. Hi! It’s not a simple swap. Too much involved and honestly not worth the hassle
    3
  3104. Hi! If it’s in good shape and has no rust I would keep it
    3
  3105. Honestly the 2.7 is very reliable. We see a lot of them especially fleet trucks and they are solid but they are very underpowered. Make sure you drive one before buying. If the power level is good for your use, it’s very reliable
    3
  3106. Thank you for a great idea! I added it to the list.
    3
  3107. Thank you for watching my channel! The temp range for your Lexus transmission is 104-113. 4 quarts sounds about right I would get 5 on hand just in case
    3
  3108. I hear you. However once you’ve done this process once or twice it’s not that bad. It’s just more involved than a good old dipstick
    3
  3109. Rice Burner I wouldn’t repeat it multiple times. Once is good. You mentioned a 4th gen prius is that the cvt you’re referring to? I would change it around 60k and 6 years whichever comes first
    3
  3110. If it was done before you can safely replace it
    3
  3111. Hi! Unfortunately at this mileage it’s a big risk. If you change the fluid it’s either going to fix it or make it a lot worse. I would only try it when you’re ready to get another trans or rebuild this one as a last measure
    3
  3112. The flush method with the hose off it risky as you said. I use a machine at work that does the exchange. To be honest I don’t recommend that method because the oil pump in these transmissions is notorious for easy failure when it runs very low on fluid. I’ve seen many transmissions pumps go out because of low fluid. Having said that I will do some research on a low cost exchange machine and plan to test it and see if it’s worth to recommend it as a DIY alternative to an expensive one.
    3
  3113. That works! I have the official tool from Toyota which is pressurized and can fill the trans in 5 seconds but it’s an expensive tool and wanted something that is cheap and that works.
    3
  3114. I think that’s good mileage. Try not to wait longer and get the fluid changed and you should have no issues.
    3
  3115. Hi! 95-114
    3
  3116. In my opinion they did this possibly to cut costs on the dipstick. They also did this to prevent people who did a lot of dipstick transmission fills wrong. But if you do this right you should have no problems at all! Glad the video helped.
    3
  3117. I would add the correct capacity. Although .2 will not cause big issues.
    3
  3118. Hi! Do you have a D light on solid even when you’re in park? If that’s the case then you’re within the temperature to adjust the fluid level
    3
  3119. Toyota doesn’t encourage replacement of filters and generally opening the transmission pan for service reasons. More so with transmissions with the side pan.
    3
  3120. Hi! Temp is 95-113 and should be around 3-4 quarts max
    3
  3121. Hi! That car is under warranty you might want to involve your dealership. Hard to tell without diagnosis
    3
  3122. That could indicate a leak either from the boot or from another component that’s leaking onto it. Could you take a picture and email it so I can take a look?
    3
  3123. Hi! A very good question. So the idea of the drain and fill is to replace enough of the fluid to renew the additive package to keep everything fresh. You can do a flush and that replaced more fluid but the drain and fill is enough to keep the transmission protected.
    3
  3124. Alejandro MO I still wouldn’t. The WS trans fluid is dark by nature and unless the fluid smells burnt I wouldn’t over do it.
    3
  3125. Hi Marcos! For WS transmissions I wouldn’t repeat it too much. Do it once and if you want repeat it again after 30k miles
    3
  3126. Hi! They did it to reduce their foot print on waste. No issues with the canister one if it’s not overtightened
    3
  3127. Hi! Neither of them are issues and both are normal. They have to do with the ancientness of this truck. The hissing or buzzing sound is the accumulator charging more on that on the brake part of this series.
    3
  3128. Hi! The older one is reliable. Does have a few things like a leaking front timing cover and the occasional water pump leak but if maintained good it’s very reliable as well.
    3
  3129. Those are the best test drives!
    3
  3130. They’re truly awesome! If you like them, it’s a very good purchase
    3
  3131. I’m with you on this one!
    3
  3132. Hi! Yes it does that’s why it’s also another bulletproof truck!
    3
  3133. Honestly anything can happen as it’s a machine but from what I’ve seen from these engines, you’ll see them at 300k miles with the same chain and really the same engine that’s never been apart. You take it apart and everything looks good. I wouldn’t worry about the chain. If you’re say at 200k and you took the cover off for other work and had to remove the chain then sure I would replace it. But just to replace it for maintenance I wouldn’t honestly.
    3
  3134. This truck is trending on my radar after having this one for a week to film with
    3
  3135. Hi! The 4runner has a slight advantage on reliability but for a family suv the highlander has the upper hand
    3
  3136. Hi! I personally wouldn’t trust the quick drain valves.
    3
  3137. And you will put a lot more trouble free miles!
    3
  3138. Hi! I would turn on the ac in the winter. It turns into a dehumidifier to prevent windows from fogging up.
    3
  3139. I would store it with a small amount of gas if it’s not over 6 months of storage. That way you can get the old gas out quick and freshen it up when you’re back to it. Octane has no effect on gas going stale. If your car takes regular there’s no real benefit From Storting it with premium gas
    3
  3140. So I would start your hybrid every 2-3 days and take it for a drive around the block since you are available near it just not using it as much. On hybrids the engine has nothing to do with charging the battery
    3
  3141. Thank you for watching my video! So washing a hybrid is no different than any other car. When washing the engine bay don’t use high pressure water directly on electrical connections and components and you should be good.
    3
  3142. So usually the engine will loose its fuel trim readings and that could make the engine run either lean or rich depending for a bit until it relearns the fuel trims. Also the idle will relearn. On the transmission side it could go to base shifting until it relearns your driving style. Other things are not really a thing. The immobilizer will relearn after you turn the key on for 5-10 seconds. Windows and sun roofs can loose their initialization but that’s also not a big deal to redo.
    3
  3143. Hi ray! That works actually best for tires but not everyone is able to do that safely so there’s another option
    3
  3144. On your Prius it’s likely going to be either called DC cut or short pin in the fuse block under the hood. If you’re not using the car as much I would deplete the EV range and drive it as a hybrid only. Once your normal driving is back recharge it and use it as both. I wouldn’t fill the tank as gas goes stale so I would keep a quarter to a half tank then add fresh gas.
    3
  3145. Hi! It’s not healthy for these batteries to sit for months. But a one time deal is ok. If you are going to be repeating this storage say every year I would make sure is started and driven
    3
  3146. Hi! No it won’t be ruined. Is this storage going to be a repeated one? Or a one time deal?
    3
  3147. The newest cars won’t get affected by disconnecting the battery. Some of the older ones will lose their memory but relearn after one or two drive cycles
    3
  3148. Unfortunately there’s no way to default it
    3
  3149. Hi! At this mileage and age you should be good to go. The most I would do is check the tire pressure
    3
  3150. Frank, sometimes AC leaks are very small where they get very hard to see and find. The common practice is to add refrigerant dye so the next time it leaks it will be much easier to find. A common place to leak is the service valves make sure the caps are installed as they serve as a backup seal. If the AC doesn’t leak again and stop working in a months time it means that the leak is very very small and likely will be tough to isolate. Freon leaks will look like oil stains on AC components and the dye will shine under black light and special glasses. Hope this helps.
    3
  3151. I hear ya
    3
  3152. Hi edgar! Really no real information from them about this one that’s why I didn’t get into it. My speculation would be they figured they might’ve took it a bit overboard and customers asked for it.
    3
  3153. Hi! 100% on the display is not actually 100% actual charge. There’s a built in protection as lithium ion batteries get very unstable at actual 100% charge. So even though it shows 100% it’s actually not 100% so nothing to worry about there.
    3
  3154. Thank you for watching my brother! The future of cars is a very interesting one. We’ll see if electric cars actually can overcome the beloved gasoline engine for real one day.

  3155. Hi! I would charge it fully and use it. It already has the build in protection however try not to charge it and leave it undriven for a few days over and over as that’s not good for the battery
    3
  3156. They are a bit up there in price. But do have nice features
    3
  3157. I don’t know of any bumper guards other than a bike rack or some kind of bump stop that connects to the trailer hitch
    3
  3158. Hi! The Prius 1 2 3 are trims of the Prius. Basically option packages similar to LE xle se…etc
    3
  3159. Hi! It doesn’t affect the transmission
    3
  3160. So far so good. Likely similar to previous sienna models
    3
  3161. Hi! Interesting. I haven’t seen this one yet. Do bring it to the dealerships attention
    3
  3162. I would personally go with the smart key. They’re nicer, convenient and reliable
    3
  3163. Possible. I would have it checked out
    3
  3164. Ok. Try engaging it at a standstill and take it for a short drive and see if it still makes noise
    3
  3165. Hi! Keeping the keys together shouldn’t be an issue as they don’t talk to each other
    3
  3166. Thank you for your comment. The Vehicle ID is stored in the smart key and once stored it cannot be changed unless you do a smart code reset. Source:Toyota. The regular mechanical chip key doesn’t have any code stored in it.
    3
  3167. When the car battery dies you need to jump start it normally. Some times you’ll need to press the start button twice without pressing the brake pedal and wait for a couple of minutes then start it
    3
  3168. Hi! Most models can have 5-7 keys programmed including yours
    3
  3169. Hi! In this case the procedure is similar to losing all keys.
    3
  3170. Hi! Honestly I usually do this procedure so I don’t know any locksmiths in the area. If you’re not in a hurry to do this, I can do this once the shop opens
    3
  3171. There are many theories on why this happened. The most prominent one is possibly bad fuel quality and extreme operating conditions
    3
  3172. Hi! I’ve seen a few with over 200k miles taxis and Uber cars they are running fine with no known oil consumption issues
    3
  3173. Hi! I think the over revving scenario is out because that would show wear elsewhere like on cams
    3
  3174. Awesome! Which engine?
    3
  3175. Yep it’s a rental car thing! And the RAV4 prime has this exact engine.
    3
  3176. Hi! Best of luck! They appear intimidating but they’re not hard at all, just don’t forget that little valve on the block behind the back front cover. Everything else is smooth sailing. You’ll probably take the intake manifold off 3 times to route everything because it kinda of all over laps. Also depending on the model it’s very likely that the torque converter will pull out with the engine that’s why I would drop the cradle down which is very easy as it’s one piece
    3
  3177. That’s a bit too high
    3
  3178. Powertrain warranty. All I can say is that Toyota is very generous with their warranty. They took the old engine for an investigation to make sure it’s abuse and not production but from experience I think it’s abuse
    3
  3179. Honestly the investigation was inconclusive. Hard to tell exactly what happened with the current state. But from history and experience I’ve seen similar cases on other engines with rental cars
    3
  3180. Hi! I used oil on the cam caps and bearings. The crank I didn’t assemble so it does come with assembly lube from the factory. I disable ignition and fuel and crank the engine to build pressure before starting any engine I work on
    3
  3181. Good catch. I’ll look into it
    3
  3182. Hi! It’s a reliable engine so far with many examples surfacing with over 100k miles
    3
  3183. Thank you for watching and subscribing! Videos on maintenance coming up very soon on the channel as I finish filming them and editing!
    3
  3184. Hi! I would absolutely still change the oil even if it burns and you’re adding!
    3
  3185. That’s interesting. Thank you for your feedback.
    3
  3186. Yes that’s the only way. You can pull the oil pan and the balance shaft and look on the edge of the rod caps to see the letter of the piston as well
    3
  3187. Hi! Every Toyota dealership is very familiar with the piston situation of the 2AZ. The parts are updated and you can’t buy the old design. They do sell a kit that comes with all the gaskets you need and the rings and the new style piston jets. Then you’ll need to take your engine apart and find out which piston letter do you have. Piston A, B or C then get the pistons from the dealership. Same with rod bearings and main bearings. They’re market 1 or 2 or 3. Most pistons will be B but some will be A or C
    3
  3188. Hi! Personally I would change it at 1200. The ones that waited until 10k had a scary amount of fine metal debris
    3
  3189. The longer oil change interval could cause oil sludge build up over time which leads to many issues like oil burning
    3
  3190. Sorry Darryl to correct this. The 2018 RAV4 has the 2AR-FE which uses port fuel injection only. The A25A engine in 2019+ uses both. Until today there’s no Toyota badged car sold in the us with direct injection only. If you have the A25A I would stick with 0w16 in the US. For the 2AR engine I would use 0w20 and sticking with the 5k oil changes is a great choice 👍
    3
  3191. Your 2018 RAV4 doesn’t have direct injection. I would stick with Toyota oil if you’re not sure. You can buy it from the dealership. It is made by Mobil 1 so buying Mobil 1 is cheaper and is the same oil. But more importantly I would Change it every 5k miles or 6 months
    3
  3192. Not as much as engine oil cleaning
    3
  3193. Hi! If you have reason to clean the engine internally then yes but if the maintenance was done from new then there’s no reason to
    3
  3194. The stuff I use isn’t sold to retail but try cleaners by amsoil or liquimoly
    3
  3195. Hi! Run an oil cleaner and see if it improves.
    3
  3196. Not directly. If the engine is otherwise healthy it wouldn’t. But it is not healthy then it would.
    3
  3197. In a healthy engine it shouldn’t be an issue. But if the engine is burning oil it could accelerate it
    3
  3198. 😂 I forgot stage 4
    3
  3199. You’re very welcome Alex! Have a wonderful day my brother.
    3
  3200. Thank you for watching my video! This advise equally applies to hybrids
    3
  3201. Hi! I personally would change the engine oil every 5k miles
    3
  3202. Hi brother. You can go wrong with over maintenance. The transmission fluid you can safely go to 60k miles but the engine oil keeping it between 3-5k is a good idea.
    3
  3203. Some dealerships don’t carry 5w30 anymore. Shouldn’t be an issue for now but on the new oil change do go back to the recommended 5w30
    3
  3204. Hi! Thank you for watching my channel! You can go to synthetic oil without issues however I personally would stick with conventional and instead change the oil earlier perhaps every 3000-4000 miles
    3
  3205. I’m not sure about other makes as I specialize in Toyota but have you considered a Toyota Yaris?
    3
  3206. Hi! A dumb question is the question that’s never asked! You have a very good question. So I normally don’t specialize in Chevy but with your equinox I have some experience. That engine like the 2AZ engine with Toyota had a problem that caused oil consumption. If I remember correctly there was a fix that Chevy extended a warranty on. Maybe you’d want to contact your dealership and ask. But you are doing the right thing changing the oil using good quality oil, but there’s a manufacturing problem in this case that’s not the normal oil consumption caused by oil gunk.
    3
  3207. Hi! Carbon build up doesn’t contribute as much to oil consumption as oil slushing or oil deposits causing the rings to seize. An oil cleaner is more directed at this issue directly.
    3
  3208. Hi! Depends on your car. If your car uses an oil that starts with zero then it has to be synthetic. If your car uses regular oil I would continue to use regular oil
    3
  3209. Hi david! Thank you for watching my channel. Personally I recommend it even with synthetic. Regardless of the type of oil or the heated garage, fuel presence in the oil during the normal process of dilution in every engine breaks down the oil over time.
    3
  3210. Hi! It’s not Needed honestly. People make a big deal about it but it doesn’t really make a difference.
    3
  3211. Hi! I always recommend a break in oil change at 1000 miles.
    3
  3212. Thank you. I’m willing to deal with bent wheels for the looks.
    3
  3213. It’s not a normal thing. But someone who really looks with a magnifying glass will always find something
    3
  3214. I typically don’t recommend rubber seal protectors as they don’t really work very well
    3
  3215. Unfortunately not for the corolla
    3
  3216. The parts for the hood shocks are from a 2020 Camry
    3
  3217. Hi! I haven’t heard or seen concerns with transfer on the red seats. And the TRD wheels seem better than the XSE wheels
    3
  3218. Hi! I wanted to but the seat wasn’t the most comfortable for me with my bad back and they’re so hard to come by
    3
  3219. Hi! I personally recommend the break in oil change. I’ll get you the links for the drop stop and the wireless carplay
    3
  3220. It’s not too late. You’re good!
    3
  3221. Thank you! A break in oil change is debated but I am a believer in a break in oil change judging by the amount of debris found in the filter after 1000 miles on new Toyota engines
    3
  3222. I looked into it. Not really simple and not really worth it
    3
  3223. Thank you! I would get a tap to clean the threads. And the dash cam might be something I do in the future. On the tints they are 35% ceramic which is the legal limit in Illinois
    3
  3224. Hi! Maintenance is key. I put a video recently on how to keep your car over 300k miles that should help
    3
  3225. Hi! It’s not required but recommended
    3
  3226. The v6 hybrid you’re in upper 20s. With the 4 cylinder hybrid you’re well into the 30s and if you drive efficiently you can even touch low 40s
    3
  3227. Hi! No real information on gas grade requirements yet on the new 2023 model yet
    3
  3228. Hi! When it no longer needs any more charge mg2 will just spin and be an open circuit so it won’t generate
    3
  3229. Hi! All Toyota hybrids use eCVT which operates in theory somewhat like a CVT transmission but in reality they have nothing common with an actual CVT transmission.
    3
  3230. Sorry yes 6 months
    3
  3231. Congratulations on your Prius v purchase. The fan filter is underneath the passenger rear seat. Slide the seat all the way forward to see it. If no filter is installed install one and keep it clean and clear and you should have no issues
    3
  3232. Both batteries are good. Each one has advantages and disadvantages but I wouldn’t worry if I had one or the other
    3
  3233. Completely out of our budget honestly. The GX is a stretch but trading in 2 cars helped
    3
  3234. At the dealership level likely no. Aftermarket maybe but I have no experience with that so I can’t common on how good it is. With warranty if it causes issues related to the install it would void the warranty for that part or system affected.
    3
  3235. Hi! Yes I do put grease there. Any silicone high temp grease will work
    3
  3236. Hi! This video is for an old value line of pads as shown in the video. These pads are actually discontinued because they’re horrible. Replaced with different ones that use the oem shims and don’t come with shims.
    3
  3237. Hard to tell Avtar. I suppose time will tell. I hope it’s permanent though! Keep me posted.
    3
  3238. If they’re original they hold on very well
    3
  3239. Hi! Just change the brakes like a normal gasoline only model just don’t open the hydraulic circuit.
    3
  3240. Some Toyota pads are made by advics. I haven’t seen ones made by akebono
    3
  3241. Hi! I don’t recommend replacement if it’s working well
    3
  3242. That has varied from model to model but we’ve put them both ways and didn’t seem to make a difference.
    3
  3243. @Soccer Dad every dealership will have a different culture. At the dealership where I work we talk to customers here and there and I am usually available to any customer that wants to talk directly to the tech. Service advisors are hit and miss. I think they should be product experts and should have experience with the product. In the dealership where I work a very large number of the advisors are ex-techs themselves and our service director as well. So most of them are very knowledgeable in the product and talking to them doesn’t give you the impression that they haven’t held a wrench in their lives which is what I think it should be.
    3
  3244. I don’t tell them it’s normal until I bring a brand new car and show them that it does the same so they don’t feel like I’m ignoring their concern.
    3
  3245. I wouldn’t double filter as it might be too much. I would just remove the one inside and use an external one
    3
  3246. You got it! Once I get a car to film with I’ll get a video out
    3
  3247. That’s coming up as soon as I can find a Prius v to film with. It’s a bit different
    3
  3248. Email me a picture of the grille under the seat. It might be the same as a Prius V
    3
  3249. Thank you for watching! Absolutely! I am actively looking for hybrids to film with as soon as I get a Camry hybrid I will post it
    3
  3250. You’re very welcome! Thank you for watching!
    3
  3251. In this case remove the seat bottom and remove the bolt underneath that panel and pull it up and out
    3
  3252. I’m doing wonderful how about you? I am working on obtaining a car to film with in the 16-18 rav4 filter cleaning. As soon as I get one I’ll film it and post it
    3
  3253. The cylinder head is different between 2020 and 2021 but no information if it’s built by Toyota or not.
    3
  3254. Hi! The 4 cylinder is exactly the same with 2 less cylinders
    3
  3255. It will be fun to replace a Chain on a Supra for sure 😀 don’t know what’s the deal with bmw and their designs. They can make a fine driving car for sure but can’t make a car that’s reasonable to service
    3
  3256. Very well said Jonathan! I initially didn’t like the fact that the Supra was not entirely made by Toyota but once I drove one that all changed because it’s a proper sports car on every level. Rivals many high dollar sports cars and doesn’t cost as much.
    3
  3257. Thank you for chiming in my brother. That was part of the deleted scenes in this video about the wheels.. Bad idea that the wheels are missing the holes. You’ll find out why if you ever need to calibrate or adjust the radar sensor
    3
  3258. The 2022s are too new to know if they have the same or not
    3
  3259. Hi! It’s exactly the same as the B58 but with 2 cylinders less.
    3
  3260. Hi! From what we were told 0w20 is the oil for the Supra and the Toyota 0w20 shouldn’t be used but the GR Supra oil as it has a different additive package
    3
  3261. That’s really hard to tell without experiencing their work
    3
  3262. Many cars actually fail inspection especially lately. But accidents and body repairs remain the highest reason why they fail
    3
  3263. That depends on the area honestly. Look values on KBB.com
    3
  3264. Hi! You can honestly do all the basic maintenance yourself. At this mileage I would inspect the spark plugs and see if they were replaced. Also coolant for engine and inverter is due if it hasn’t been done before
    3
  3265. Either sold as a normal used car or if it’s too bad it goes to auction
    3
  3266. I would ask your trusted independent if he would take a drive with you to check it out for a fee or ask the dealership if you can take the car to him.
    3
  3267. Honestly taking it to another dealership might be a red flag for them. Do you know someone at the other dealership that you trust?
    3
  3268. Hi my brother! It wouldn’t hurt to ask honestly. If you have a trusted mechanic I would ask the dealership to have that mechanic inspect it to give you piece of mind. If the dealership is confident in the quality of the car they’re selling they would be more than happy to allow a 3rd party inspect it
    3
  3269. Hi! Yes that’s normal to give you time in case you forgot to close a window
    3
  3270. Hi! When you turn on your hybrid if the engine doesn’t come on by itself then you’re good to go. If it does give it a minute or two especially in very cold weather
    3
  3271. Hi! You can use a dedicated circuit that is fused and has a relay to turn it on with the ignition. When you run wires behind panels always run them with existing wire harnesses to avoid them being cut or scraped by sharp dash metal which is usually how problems start
    3
  3272. Hi! No issues switching between modes as you drive
    3
  3273. Hi! Yes you can change modes when driving without issues
    3
  3274. Thank you for watching my videos. Hybrids when you start them they will force the engine on in warm up mode to warm everything up. I would give it a few minutes to warm up and you’re good to go
    3
  3275. Thank you for watching! There’s no link between them. Regen activates when you coast and brake. Eco mode limits the throttle response to prioritize fuel economy.
    3
  3276. Thank you for watching my hybrid series!
    3
  3277. That’s failure on the dealership part. They need to explain how the features work so you can use them.
    3
  3278. Thank you for watching. Trial mode is for light off road use. I wouldn’t use it in snow situations unless you’re about to get stuck. I would definitely not use it on clean roads at city driving speeds as it puts a strain on the hybrid system
    3
  3279. I’m working on a video that’ll come out soon on trail mode
    3
  3280. You can switch modes at any time without harm.
    3
  3281. You can switch between modes as you drive.
    3
  3282. Hi! It will need a pressure test to see if there’s any leaks. Could be overfilled with coolant as well
    3
  3283. Hi! Other than pressing the button to turn it off every time no way to disable it through the dealership
    3
  3284. I would go with the V6 as I have a heavy foot.
    3
  3285. Hi! The torque vectoring system is a video subject in its own. In the highlander it’s been reliable so far
    3
  3286. The starter on start/stop cars has a specific life time. The computer will count how many times it’s run and when it reaches a certain level you will get a check engine light and a code for it. Replace it and erase the code and then it’s back to normal. On average expect a replacement around every 10 years of normal use.
    3
  3287. Hi! Toyota recently issued a campaign to correct these issues for the highlander at least in the us
    3
  3288. Hi! The brake fluid is too early. You can buy an inexpensive tester and test it yourself. The fuel cleaning, I’m guessing by the age and mileage you do a lot of driving and likely mostly highway so I would say you can skip that one. The fuel induction service is beneficial for more city driven or short trip driven cars but likely not your case.
    3
  3289. Hi! Yea there’s a good possibility no more Avalon after 2022 in the us
    3
  3290. Hi! So far at least for me zero cases of oil leaks
    3
  3291. Hi! 230 is acceptable under heavy load. Make sure you change your fluid up to 60k miles or even earlier
    3
  3292. Some models especially the later ones didn’t have the aux cooler
    3
  3293. Hi! It doesnt
    3
  3294. Hi! Some models don’t have them like your corolla.
    3
  3295. Hi! Avoid high temperature differential. So don’t run the ac too cold or the heat too hot.
    3
  3296. Hi! I will likely be filming almost every car that comes in the shop and you’ll see a video on it. If not we’re looking into such option
    3
  3297. Hi! It’s not my Supra! It’s a loan that I’m using for a review which is coming up soon. Wish it was mine though!
    3
  3298. Thank you!
    3
  3299. Thank you Daniel! Feedback for the screw compressor helps a lot!
    3
  3300. Hi! Consider it but it’s not a rush. Maybe take the cover and inspect the belt for cracks. If it has then replace it, if not you have time and I wouldn’t rush to replace it
    3
  3301. Thank you! I already have the floor logo and planning another one in the shop
    3
  3302. Hi! That product works. Is this a product that’s diy or you’re having a company spray it?
    3
  3303. I don’t have a specific product. We use a company at the dealership where I work. I’ll try to get the product names
    3
  3304. Hi! Research online for companies in your local area and ask your local dealership
    3
  3305. Tacoma’s after 2018 had a coating on the inside of the frame from the factory that’s the only difference from the 4Runner
    3
  3306. Fluid film works very good.
    3
  3307. Hi! I wouldn’t as that accumulates moisture inside the frame and could make things worse.
    3
  3308. Hi! Installing an external cooler shouldn’t void your warranty as long as the fluid level is adjusted accordingly. Also adding one will depend on your towing demand and transmission temps when towing
    3
  3309. No 😉
    3
  3310. The threaded holes use a bolt with a washer to take care of them
    3
  3311. So they are welded to the frame directly. If I was recovering a 4Runner or towing it that would be the place to do it. I’ve seen people pull from the control arms or even the first cross member on the frame and that usually leaves marks or flat damage especially on the control arms. If you overdo it with the hooks they’ll likely break and that is not going to cause significant damage
    3
  3312. Hi! Usually they’re not good if they’re the cheaper ones. More expensive ones are good but they also cost the same as original parts
    3
  3313. Huh. Not really much suspension issues. Of course after 18-20 years thing will go but it’s significantly better than anything other companies make
    3
  3314. Hi! After 10-12 years I would consider replacing it
    3
  3315. Hi! Spray some fluid film to cover the frame and protect it
    3
  3316. It can vary by model that’s why I didn’t add it
    3
  3317. There’s no need to put grease this is not the same style bearing as the older ones
    3
  3318. Hi john. The video is filmed and ready to go. Scheduled for next week either Wednesday but most likely Saturday.
    3
  3319. Hi! They will clearly state on the label of the battery flooded or lead acid. On AGM it will say that or Absorbed glass mat. The difference is the way they are constructed inside. Another way to tell is the flooded battery will make a sloshing sound if you shake it. The AGM won’t do that.
    3
  3320. Hi Dominic, Yes that is correct but the fuel economy difference will be so small almost hard to tell. But the alternator will work very hard to charge that battery and is not recommended
    3
  3321. I personally would give it a minute or two before driving especially in cold weather. The engine in your Camry warms up rapidly but you’d want to give it a minute or two
    3
  3322. Hi! That’s a must in my book! You should always take the car you’re buying on a test drive
    3
  3323. Hi! Don’t worry you didn’t damage your car. The dealership will give you a hard time but you can ask them to just do an oil change at 1000 miles and expect resistance.
    3
  3324. Hi! 87 from a top tier gas station. If non ethanol gas is available that would be better.
    3
  3325. One more thing I forgot to add. When going on a long trip with cruise control. Put the car in eco mode. That could help also improve your gas mileage and even try it in daily driving. Makes a car slower but could do the trick to improve the mileage.
    3
  3326. Thank you for watching my channel! A video idea has been added to the list for this topic however in the meantime allow me to replay. the estimated numbers are usually set in perfect conditions. Just the right temperature and no occupants in the car. I think the driving you are getting is good but a few methods with hybrids to get good gas mileage is a method called pulse and glide. So you will accelerate to go slightly over the speed you want to cruise at then let the car coast. That will charge your battery better and improve your gas mileage. A few things you can check is your tire pressure as it has a significant effect on has mileage.
    3
  3327. Hi! These kits work but if you’re driving highway miles and not driving repeated short trips where the engine never warms up then what that kit cleans you don’t have so it becomes kinda of useless. It really depends on your driving habits.
    3
  3328. Hi! I would follow the recommendation from the manufacturer on this one. They didn’t state that if anything they stated the opposite.
    3
  3329. Hi! Get it to at least 500 miles if possible
    3
  3330. Hi! Krown seems to be one of the best in your country.
    3
  3331. Hi! The rings need to seat and wear in their initial wear. Having it at constant speed doesn’t allow that process to happen naturally.
    3
  3332. Hi! So if you want to go with the 5k oil changes I would get an oil change every 6 months even if you pay for it out of pocket. Regarding the plate. It is not an excuse for them to brush it off and give the lame excuse of “oh it’s covered by the plate” if they don’t respond and take care of it then call Toyota. Yes it’s not a big deal because it’s covered by the plate but that doesn’t make right. It would bother me too as you work very hard and paid a lot of money for the car. What if you move to a state where they don’t require the front plate? That’s not right.
    3
  3333. They usually don’t. It is in your owners manual.
    3
  3334. There’s an issue with RAV4 hybrid fueling. Contact your dealership to get it fixed.
    3
  3335. Hi! I’m not really sure about the Canadian models perhaps a viewer from Canada will chime in
    3
  3336. Ha ha.. it’s the best decision I made! I love my work so I don’t mind it. They are actually really good color combinations. The bottom is darker to hide dirt and stains. The top is white to make it light and the red stripe to give it an accent
    3
  3337. Hi! You can take it somewhere else but make sure they are someone you trust and use original parts or just take it to the dealership and pay for it.
    3
  3338. Hi! The transmission fluid doesn’t need a break in replacement and the first replacement is recommended at 60k miles or 6 years
    3
  3339. You didn’t ruin your engine. I would consider an oil change soon and follow the maintenance schedule after that.
    3
  3340. There should be no issues with that.
    3
  3341. Hi! The same thing for the first 1000 miles. If it expanded over a month of no use I would engage it
    3
  3342. Hi! The transmission fluid doesn’t need replacement anytime soon. The reverse sound or the proximity notification as Toyota calls it is considered a safety feature unfortunately it can’t be turned off easily.
    3
  3343. I think the b58 engine from bmw is a good engine. Possibly one of the best engines to come out of Bavaria land. Any turbo car will have some issues at some later point in its life hence why Toyota is hesitant to put turbo engines in their Toyota badged cars again. The turbo ones from Lexus are still relatively newer and no big issues have surfaced yet.
    3
  3344. Sorry this video filming was a bit complicated with the split. Ill go into details on the grease in the next part of this series which is coming out Friday. If you need the part no. For the grease for today I can get it for you I don’t have it handy at this momet
    3
  3345. Hi! You might want to adjust the parking brake shoes in the back
    3
  3346. Hi! Repair manual on techinfo.Toyota.com
    3
  3347. Hi! Good car with lower mileage but I’d still get it inspected and look for the service history
    3
  3348. Hi! Honestly in frigid weather the prime doesn’t do as well as most hope. Needing heat in that kind of weather will force the engine on and kinda defeats the purpose. A hybrid might be a better option but I wouldn’t trade in your RAV4 it’s too new and you’ll loose a lot more than the cost of gas savings
    3
  3349. Hi! Yes it does.
    3
  3350. Hi! The difference here is that the 4 cylinder engine in the hybrid has the help of the electric motor(s) the old sienna with 4 cylinder only had the engine. So the hybrid is a bit better than the old gen with the 4 cylinder
    3
  3351. It’s for looks. It’s just a paper filter
    3
  3352. Hi! You can find them at your local dealership just stop by parts and show them the clip and they’ll get it for you
    3
  3353. Hi! The battery exhausts outside the car. In between the sheet metal of the body externally. Not something that is easily accessible
    3
  3354. I would do 5k oil changes
    3
  3355. Hi! With good maintenance you’ll get a lot of miles and years out of it! These are good cars
    3
  3356. All the UZ engines including this sequoia have the starter underneath the intake manifold. Not a bad job when compared to the UR engine starter location
    3
  3357. If they park the car and don’t run it, it can work. Problem is it will start smoking shortly after starting it because of the heat
    3
  3358. Hi! It does have the tendency of front timing covers leaking. But doesn’t have any of the oil lines or vvti line issues as the early 2GRs
    3
  3359. Hi! Lift the back of the car and spin the wheels while your hand is on the coil spring. Very common for rear bearings to feel like they’re front on These
    3
  3360. Hi! Yes it is safe to use
    3
  3361. Resale value is good for hybrids that are well maintained and taken care of. The battery doesn’t need replacement after 10 years in most cases. If the maintenance was completed for the filter and the fan is working properly the battery will have no issues lasting longer.
    3
  3362. Congratulations on your purchase! It’s located under the back seat just like the one in the video.
    3
  3363. Thank you for watching my video! So on your prime the idea is these batteries don’t like to stay at high levels or charge for too long as it starts to degrade. Now too long is 12 hours over a period of 3-5 years. The degrading of the battery doesn’t happen over night, it happens gradually until one day you notice your range starts dropping. That’s why the charge schedule helps you achieve both results. You can program the car to be fully charge at your departure time so you get a fully charged car but not let it sit with high charge for long. Of course if you are not keeping this car long I wouldn’t worry about any of this. This really comes into play if you plan to keep it at least 5-7 years perhaps a lot more.
    3
  3364. Hi Dominic! I would connect it directly to the battery for long term charging.
    3
  3365. Thank you! A video for the tundra is planned soon
    3
  3366. Hi! From the low mark to the high mark is 1 quart
    3
  3367. The 2nd generation Prius has possibly one of the most complicated Evap/fuel tank design ever to be put in a car. The bladder tank does the same thing that’s why it has a lever
    3
  3368. You can with some precautions. Here’s a video that details Toyota and hybrid storage. https://youtu.be/vuXP52PloDQ
    3
  3369. Thank you for watching! Will do!
    3
  3370. It works on hybrids. I tried it on a semi dead Prius and it worked. Took a little longer to charge from the dead battery but it worked.
    3
  3371. You has S mode which has the + and - which is similar but more of a varied level of B mode. Newer cars will automatically activate it when you’re going down a hill.
    3
  3372. 7 minutes should be ok. The issue is the hybrid battery cant charge in neutral. If it runs low it also can’t start the engine to charge. So what it will do is start beeping and displaying a message. But leaving it for 7 minutes should be ok, it’ll likely start beeping but as soon as you get out of neutral it will start the engine and recharge and all is good. But leave it longer than that and it could end up shutting off the car when the battery gets low to a certain point that the computer is not happy with the low level of charge.
    3
  3373. You can but with limitations. Too large of a sound system that creates a large draw might not be good for the electrical system.
    3
  3374. Hi Michelle, so anything is possibly with a suspension lift. However at the expense and then the gas mileage will really struggle id say why not invest in a RAV4 hybrid at that point?
    3
  3375. Hi! Thank you for watching my channel! I think the plastic housing for the oil filter holds up very well as long as it’s not over tightened.
    3
  3376. It is common on all UR series engine
    3
  3377. We’re working on it.
    3
  3378. Not a single 1st gen sequoia on schedule yet. As soon as I get one we’ll talk all about it
    3
  3379. Yes it is a V6
    3
  3380. Hi! At 1000 miles is recommended. My shop is going to be very close to orland park. Stay tuned for updates for when the shop opens and we’ll see you there.
    3
  3381. Hi! You can use synthetic without issues.
    3
  3382. Hi brother! That’s not an issue. The part no on the original filter is a factory part no. And the F2 is a service part no. They’re exactly the same filter.
    3
  3383. Hi! I usually recommend replacement when you replace the spark plugs at 120k or 10 years
    3
  3384. No never too late! Go for it and don’t worry about the first one.
    3
  3385. Hi! You can. However personally I still would change it every 5k or 6 months
    3
  3386. @RAYLEGEND Thank you for watching my video. I would still change it. If you'd want to go 8 months that's also ok but if I were you and planning to keep the car long change it every 6 months. All gasoline engines leak a little bit of gas into the oil. And regardless of miles that fuel in the oil breaks down the oil over time hence the need for replacement with time. This happens a lot when the engine is cold that's why short trips under 5 miles is regarded as severe service because the engine doesn't have enough time to warm up completely and it's always dumping fuel into the oil and which then just sits in the pan breaking the oil down.
    3
  3387. @manutor That's a very good question. If there's an issue that comes up that the dealership sees that it could be caused by improper or lack of maintenance they will ask for maintenance records. These maintenance records do not have to be from the dealership they could be from any automotive repair shop. Doing it yourself unfortunately does not constitute a record. Even if you have the receipt for the parts purchased it doesn't reflect the mileage and VIN no. of the vehicle. So the warranty department has no way of knowing when this work was done and if indeed it was done to this car.
    3
  3388. Thank you! Awesome suggestion that is planned as I get jobs to do I will be filming.
    3
  3389. Hi! They don’t damage the engine but cleaning them is difficult and most don’t do it well
    3
  3390. Hi! If you want to go with the 8000kms oil changes for the first one you’d have to request it and if this is the free maintenance then you’d have to pay for it
    3
  3391. Hi! Pennzoil is good no worries and I would use conventional and change it often. Between 3000-5000 miles
    3
  3392. Hi! If your manual specifies 0w16 and not others I would stick with it
    3
  3393. Hi! Thank you for watching my channel! Honestly the 3rd generation Prius and up has an oil separator which is essentially a catch can. Most of the oil in the intake is from overfilling with oil or excessive blow by from oil consumption.
    3
  3394. He is risen indeed! Thank you for watching nick.
    3
  3395. Hi! They are very good filters and in my opinion superior to the aftermarket in most cases. The faster oil flow used to be the case back in the day but most major aftermarket filters adapted this as well. Original parts are original parts and are good regardless of where they’re made
    3
  3396. Lol I remember that comment. I try to keep up as much as possible. Helping people is the reason I started this channel. Other than oil consumption I wouldn’t worry about using different oil than 0w20
    3
  3397. Hi! I would still change it every 6 months
    3
  3398. Dimiter Marchev I wouldn’t worry too much about the break in oil change as these engines are pretty well made and don’t really need the break in oil change. If you plan to keep the car long stick with 5k oil changes and you won’t have any issues.
    3
  3399. Hi! They’re good but really don’t justify their price and the hassle of cleaning them.
    3
  3400. I would just stick with 5w30 and keep a good change interval and you should have no issues. Your car doesn’t require synthetic oil.
    3
  3401. I’d say every 20-30k miles especially if you’re doing the cleaning yourself
    3
  3402. Awesome topic! I will add this one to the list! Thank you! This is a hot topic because hybrids are taking over.
    3
  3403. Hi! If you store it closed I would use it up to 6 months after that I would discard.
    3
  3404. That’s what I tell people. You have to consider the dealership, if they’re more expensive then fine but if they’re the same or sometimes cheaper of course go with original parts
    3
  3405. Hi! Keep your speeds below 70 mph and try to vary your speed as much as possible. On hybrids it’s much easier as the engine turns on and off. Also consider a 1000 mile break in oil change
    3
  3406. Not too much. Likely 3-4 hours on the high side
    3
  3407. Labeeb The dealership is following what they were told. Yes if you do the 10K oil changes you will be OK. However as the miles add up and the years problems will start and the first one is possible oil consumption. I would switch to 5k and continue it and you should have no issues.
    3
  3408. I don’t have personal experience with any of these brands however I do have experience with Mobil 1 and Toyota genuine oil which is made by Mobil 1 and the results are impressive. I wouldn’t over pay for oil brand, I would instead invest in more frequent oil changes. More frequent oil changes help your engine the most, I say this not from oil lab analysis or my personal car experience. I say this from tearing apart engines that had good oil change frequency and ones that didn’t. The difference is night and day.
    3
  3409. Hi! No you didn’t you’re good. Next oil change go back to 0w16
    3
  3410. Honestly I personally dislike Fram filters they’re very generic and cheaply made. If I were you I’d return the fram and get original
    3
  3411. Thank you! Honestly I’d still go with the 5k oil changes or what I call cheap insurance.
    3
  3412. Hi! I would use original and if memory serves right it’s a D1 or G1
    3
  3413. Hi! Honestly I would say original just don’t overpay for it. I really dislike K&N
    3
  3414. It will vary depending on many factors. Usually hybrids get into closed loop rapidly after first start up but the best way to know for sure is to watch the data list
    3
  3415. Hi! If the price of the used one is worth it then yes but honestly it will eventually fail again because of the oil consumption
    3
  3416. Thecarcarenut
    3
  3417. Hi! That’s a sign of a car that haven’t been driven hard. Give it a few Italian tune ups on the highway for a few days safely and see if the smell goes away
    3
  3418. Thank you for watching Alex! Was it a V6 or 4?
    3
  3419. They are somewhat more difficult but still open and possible to steal.
    3
  3420. Hi! I haven’t seen many thefts with Lexus IS models however honestly I can’t really tell you with confidence that it won’t happen
    3
  3421. Hi! Undercoat it and try to regularly wash it and you should have no issues
    3
  3422. Hi! That’s too thick oil honestly
    2
  3423. Well not that you’ll keep the filter clean you’ll likely have this car for a very very long time 😀
    2
  3424. Hi! I have a series on how hybrids work that I go into every component of the hybrid system in more details. Here’s a link to that series https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeFzfl0Q8rQUgJLQheNbttBtKT6iSOX4D
    2
  3425. Hi! Yes you can
    2
  3426. If the car isn't readying on likely you didn't install the service plug correctly. What model hybrid do you have?
    2
  3427. Hi! They don’t have physical gears that’s correct
    2
  3428. Hi’ which model and year do you have? And how often to clean it depends on your use. Do you have pets or heavy back seat use?
    2
  3429. Hi! I think it would be suitable for your driving. You’re driving the car regularly but short distances which is fine for hybrids
    2
  3430. Yes I think that’s good distance driving yearly. Just don’t let it sit for weeks at a time repeatedly without driving and you should be good to go!
    2
  3431. Hi! 20k kms is a bit too low for a 5 year old car. No real way to know the true health of the battery
    2
  3432. Hi! That generation is good. I have a video for it see it for specifics
    2
  3433. Hi! The 2011 and 2021 Venza are two completely different cars both in size and the way they drive. Being an original Venza owner I would advice you to drive the hybrid Venza first. See if you like it's new form, size and most importantly the fact that it's a hybrid. It's a very good car but also very different than your current Venza.
    2
  3434. Hi! They don’t like heat caused by the cooling system not working correctly. High ambient temps is not a concern as long as the cooling system of the battery is in good condition.
    2
  3435. Hi! I have videos for fan filters for various models which model do you have?
    2
  3436. The EGR valve blocking has no real connection to the head gasket issues. So far both issues are under investigation but because of the pandemic we have not gotten any updates
    2
  3437. Congratulations! I have a few videos on maintenance schedule the main one being the 5k or 6 month oil change interval
    2
  3438. Hi! Modifications is the main thing. Trying to do burnouts ( yes people have tried that and failed)
    2
  3439. In if it’s a dealership installed toyota accessory it won’t void your warranty and should be professionally installed with a warranty
    2
  3440. They’re good cars. Similar to the Prius drivetrain
    2
  3441. Ok the filter on that car is located on the passenger side of the rear seat
    2
  3442. I’ve driven the new Venza hybrid. It’s a nice car. The price is a bit out there but other than that it’s a nice car.
    2
  3443. Hi! While we don’t have the Yaris hybrid in my market but they have a very similar hybrid system to the corolla which is an excellent hybrid system
    2
  3444. If you’re not buying a new car and the price of the hybrid is good then why not.
    2
  3445. You won’t damage the car driving with a heavy foot. It just won’t be as efficient and at that point why pay more for a hybrid.
    2
  3446. They use transmission fluid and specifically Toyota ATF WS
    2
  3447. The filter will vary on use. I’d check it every few months and see how it’s progressing and go from there. Transmission fluid for hybrids replace every 60-90k miles
    2
  3448. Hi! That’s too high honestly but in these crazy times anything is possible price wise
    2
  3449. Hi! If you will drive the car regularly but for short distances it should be ok. But if the car will sit for months at a time regularly then I wouldn’t.
    2
  3450. Hi! I would use an inspection camera and inspect the fan without removal. If the fan is clean I would call it a day there and not take everything apart to clean it
    2
  3451. Hi! You can change it yourself.
    2
  3452. I wouldn’t top off any car as you could have issues with the Evap system
    2
  3453. Perhaps consider a block heater if that’s something commonly used in your area. Also don’t let the car sit in the cold for over 2-3 weeks without starting it and driving around and you should have no issues
    2
  3454. I think the 2014 highlander is an excellent hybrid model and an excellent car even in its non hybrid model as long as it has been well maintained and taken care of
    2
  3455. The part no is G92DH-47020
    2
  3456. Hi this model Prius didn’t come with a filter but one can be bought for it. The vent is located on the passenger of the back seat between the door and the seat
    2
  3457. On normal driving the brakes will be used slightly but not as much as a non hybrid. That lunge forward in park is normal. That’s why hybrids won’t turn the engine on in neutral if it’s off because of that lunge
    2
  3458. Hi! If you drive regularly but short distances a hybrid could work well for you. But if you store the car for long periods of time I wouldn’t
    2
  3459. I’m assuming it’s the nx300h so the vent for the battery fan is located on the sides of the back seat. The filter is built into the vent. A video will come out in a few weeks that’ll show you how to remove it to clean it
    2
  3460. On your 14 prius the fan filter will be on the passenger side rear seat. as soon as you open the door look for a vent. shine a light inside the vent and you'll see the filter.
    2
  3461. I hear you. Well don’t think about it too much. Make the best of it and enjoy the car. They’re actually solid cars but usually people don’t take care of them because hybrids in that time were still new and people didn’t understand them. Take care of it and it’ll take care of you.
    2
  3462. Hi! Here’s a video with details for the fan filter for your sienna https://youtu.be/zSqnyZZRTzk
    2
  3463. Hi! Yes you can
    2
  3464. Thank you for watching and congratulations!
    2
  3465. Hi! On these you do have a mesh filter actually 3 of them underneath the back seat
    2
  3466. Hi! The 2010-2011 Prius model years had some issues that were resolved in the 2012-2015. If I were shopping for one today I would look at 2012-2015 as they are improved.
    2
  3467. Hi! I think they are good SUVs
    2
  3468. Thank you for watching my video. I’d say 10k miles is more than enough to keep everything going great with your hybrid. Id consider 4-5k a year to be lower miles and that’s when you’d want to drive it more often but at 10k a year you’re not even close! I’d go for it. Shop around and find your forever car!
    2
  3469. Hi! There’s a filter for your Lexus. Here’s a video I made with details specific to your model https://youtu.be/WNo-VXJSg7s
    2
  3470. For a trickle charger I would attach it directly to the battery for long term.
    2
  3471. Remote starting it every few days would be a good idea
    2
  3472. It’s on the side of the back seat
    2
  3473. Hello Martin. This will be different for each car depending on how you use it. I’d say every other service check it and clean it or replace it as needed.
    2
  3474. Hi! Your Lexus does have 3 vents underneath the back seat which have a mesh filter in each one. 2 small tabs come off and expose 2 10mm screws remove them and pull each vent to clean the mesh filter. I’m hoping to have a video soon to show how to clean them.
    2
  3475. I have a video series and adding to it with time on how to check and clean the fan filter for various models. Which model did you have perhaps I have a video out for it already.
    2
  3476. No I don’t see that affecting the battery life
    2
  3477. Best of luck on your hybrid purchase form across the globe!
    2
  3478. Thank you for watching my video! I don’t have direct experience with the auris hybrid as it’s not sold in the us but it seems like it carries a similar hybrid system to the 3rd generation Prius which is a very solid system. If you take care of it you will have it for a long time without issues.
    2
  3479. I would pull the filter out and blow it with air in a direction opposite of the vent. So blow it from the inside out away from the vent. Don’t use water and you could vacuum it as well.
    2
  3480. Absolutely! And I encourage you to do so. It’s very easy once you learn how to do and you can keep it clean without any cost.
    2
  3481. The cooling system of the battery is well capable of handling high ambient heat. It takes air from inside the car which is air conditioned. A good point would be not to drive in these temperatures without using the air conditioning and of course keeping the fan and filter clean and working optimally is very important.
    2
  3482. Hi! While I don’t have specific experience with the auris since it’s not sold in the us. However from looking it’s very similar to the Prius which is a good car in that year. I would look through the maintenance records making sure everything was done on time. Also I would have the car inspected by a trusted mechanic or dealership to make sure you’re buying a good car.
    2
  3483. Hi! I’ll get a video on that spring time
    2
  3484. Hi! They will usually charge a diagnostic fee for an hour of labor. If they find something that’s warranty then they’ll waive it and you pay nothing
    2
  3485. Hi! If you drive it weekly even if it’s short distances the battery will be ok. Repeated storage of months every year is not good for the battery
    2
  3486. That was an error on my side. One on the passenger side of the back seat not for the battery but for the dc dc converter. Thanks for bringing this up.
    2
  3487. Hi! No. On models equipped there will be another filter dedicated to the hybrid battery cooling fan.
    2
  3488. Hello! On the side of the back of the back seat. You’ll see a vent.
    2
  3489. Hi! Using it twice a week is good. Don’t worry
    2
  3490. Thank you for watching my video! Hybrids are very interesting technology marvels.
    2
  3491. I will be filming a video on 3rd gen prius filter replacement this week and you should see it on the channel next week
    2
  3492. Depends on the model usually around the back seat either underneath or to the side.
    2
  3493. Typically certified pre owned are good cars that have been taken care of. You could ask for maintenance records from the dealership and if it was dealer maintained they should be able to show you.
    2
  3494. That would be good for the battery. As long as it’s not sitting for weeks and months at a time. But daily driving short distances is not an issue at all.
    2
  3495. That’s coming up as I find cars to film with
    2
  3496. Hi! Not yet
    2
  3497. Hi! Both for fuel economy but honestly you won’t even notice a difference in this one. GL5 is good for the transfer case
    2
  3498. Hi! Yes that is ok
    2
  3499. Hi! GL5 75w85 works well
    2
  3500. Hi! Yes it applies to your RAV4 as wel
    2
  3501. Hi! There’s a method of taking 2 hoses to do a real flush. I’ll see if I can make a video on this as I get a car for this job
    2
  3502. Hi it doesn't do harm.
    2
  3503. Yes that is correct but the owner wanted to do it himself and I encouraged him to do it himself as it’s very simple on the Tacoma
    2
  3504. Hi! Usually a quart is more than enough
    2
  3505. Hi! 75w90 should be good
    2
  3506. Hi! In this case you can use GL5 but GL4 is preferrrd
    2
  3507. Hi! GL4 is good for the 86
    2
  3508. It should yes
    2
  3509. They unfortunately don’t yet. Wish they do
    2
  3510. Hi! GL5 is ok for 5th gen 4runner transfer
    2
  3511. Hi! I would use 75w85 GL4 over 80w90
    2
  3512. Hi! You’re ok. Nothing to worry about.
    2
  3513. Hi! There are synchros but they are compatible with either GL4 or GL5. Using GL4 is better
    2
  3514. This was brought up. I’m looking into it. Most will say GL3 or GL4 with the older ones saying both.
    2
  3515. Wouldn’t hurt to get that front toe spread a little closer
    2
  3516. Hi! Could you rewrite your message as a comment?
    2
  3517. It won’t affect warranty unless it’s flat the wrong fluid which amsoil is not
    2
  3518. Hi! Doesn’t have to be amsoil
    2
  3519. Hi! Email with the subject Chicago service request
    2
  3520. Jim, Brief time I worked with Honda I remember so many people showed up with hard shifting because some one put gear oil in their manual transmissions. Kinda odd they used 10W30
    2
  3521. Hi! Honestly I’d leave it alone at this point
    2
  3522. In this case yes
    2
  3523. Hi! You can use GL5 for all 3
    2
  3524. Hi! GL5 miltiweight
    2
  3525. Redline is good in my opinion
    2
  3526. Hi! GL3 is very hard to find honestly. I would look into GL4 which is widely available and is compatible
    2
  3527. Hi! I always replace the gaskets and recommend you do so as they're very inexpensive. The crush washer ones for the diffs have a higher possibility of leaking if reused but not super common. but the transfer case ones have a much less possibility of leaking.
    2
  3528. Hi! Without limited slip. If you use with limited slip it’s not an issue
    2
  3529. I wouldn’t drop the pan. Just change the fluid every 60k miles or 6 years and you won’t have issues
    2
  3530. Hi! I do here’s the link https://youtu.be/NUAuGmDGntY
    2
  3531. Hi! On that one I don’t have information. I’ll look into it
    2
  3532. Hi! Thank you for the suggestion! I’ll add it to the list
    2
  3533. Hi! It’s not an issue to have the additives.
    2
  3534. Hi! I just finished filming this exact video and you’ll see it next week
    2
  3535. Hi! I wouldn’t honestly.
    2
  3536. Here’s a video for fluid replacement https://youtu.be/NUAuGmDGntY
    2
  3537. Hi! In AWD model cars as well
    2
  3538. Hi! For some sensors and differential and transfer case plugs
    2
  3539. Hi! Not a simple swap and really not worth the change
    2
  3540. Hi! Gear wrench makes good torque wrenches. I like the digital ones. See in my Amazon store I have a few recommendations
    2
  3541. I like the angle of the impact style ones
    2
  3542. Hi! Honestly use the transmission functions for their intended use. So the snow mode will hold gears longer to avoid high torque and spinning on snowy roads. That is extra load on the whole drivetrain. When used in snow conditions it’s good because extra load is better than slipping over heavy snow. But to save a little bit of gas is not worth it. The same for using S to slow down. Engine breaking puts a lot of load on the transmission and unless you’re at risk of fading your brakes like when going down a very long and steep mountain.
    2
  3543. Hi sam! It’s possible that you need a bearing but I’d first check it to be sure it’s not tire noise. Bearings can be a bit difficult to replace if they’re seized if they’re fronts you might need a press in some models. I would shop for prices and compare to originals. Original is very expensive and NSk is ok
    2
  3544. Could you upload to YouTube and post a link here
    2
  3545. Hi! That should be more than enough for a cordless impact driver.
    2
  3546. Hi! They’re in my Amazon affiliate store the link is in the description
    2
  3547. Hi! Use a box 24mm wrench
    2
  3548. Hi! You’ll need 10,12,14,17 and rare but eventually you’ll need to use a 19 as well. Even more rare is a 22 in some suspension work
    2
  3549. Hi! It separated water from air so it won’t go into your tools and corrode them. Water comes from the moisture in the air
    2
  3550. 🤫 I won’t
    2
  3551. I use regular Phillips and they work well on toyotas
    2
  3552. Hi! Honestly the sound has nothing to do with the fuel pump as the only thing done with the fuel pump is remove the back seat bottom and pull the fuel pump. However with that said this is too new of a car and it is under warranty. Might not be related but still an issue covered by warranty
    2
  3553. Hi! You’ll want to find a chrome socket but using it with an impact is not advisable. Most impact sockets will be thick walled if you wrap it up with electrical tape it won’t scratch the wheels. IR is the way to go for impacts from my experience
    2
  3554. Hi! That has been going on for some time. No official information to confirm or deny it honestly.
    2
  3555. Thanks for sharing that brother! I’ll check it oit
    2
  3556. Hey brother! I don’t really know Brian. Do you have Info for his shop?
    2
  3557. Merry Christmas!
    2
  3558. Coolant will expand and contract. Check it when the car is cold fill it up to half way in the reservoir and then check it again when it’s fully warmed it will be at full.
    2
  3559. Thank you for watching my video! I agree with you but so far insurance companies hasn’t done much of discounts that I know of.
    2
  3560. I would do it yourself and save money. It’s not hard and with practice it’ll get easier and no need to replace the filter just clean it and reuse it
    2
  3561. I wouldn’t spray it with air while it’s installed because then you’ll push the debris into the fan. I would take it out and clean it
    2
  3562. Hi Michelle! I would invest in a filter for ease of cleaning. If you have heavy back seat use I would install one and keep an eye on it
    2
  3563. I hear you. But it does happen. I own other manufacturers cars and every time I don’t drive one of them for more than 2 weeks gotta do the same otherwise the amber warmth and glow of the traction control light gets distracting.
    2
  3564. You can jump start hybrids with the smallest jumper pack as they don’t need much to start because there’s no starter.
    2
  3565. You can jump start hybrids because they use a 12v battery to start up the hybrid system. A small compressor to air the tires should be ok.
    2
  3566. Hi! Thank you for watching my channel! If you’re referring to a go pro or a dash cam then no it wouldn’t affect any of the safety devices.
    2
  3567. They do on certain models but more common on the Lexus side.
    2
  3568. Hi! I don’t have experience with Hondas honestly.
    2
  3569. If the fluid looks clean I wouldn’t.
    2
  3570. Hi! The earliest is 50k miles and based on condition
    2
  3571. Hi! That had a cable and likely an issue with the idle control.
    2
  3572. Thank you! I do have a PayPal donation link and a Patreon page. Http://www.PayPal.me/CCNdonate Http://www.Patreon.com/thecarcarenut
    2
  3573. It’s a good car. The 2021 is much better than the first year
    2
  3574. Hi! Here’s a review I did on that generation. I think they had a rough start but gotten better. https://youtu.be/aUA2Jw1nKkk
    2
  3575. Hi! You can use a toothbrush but then when done you’ll want to wipe it down with a shop towel.
    2
  3576. Hi! You’ll want to reset the learned values and for that you’ll need a scan tool. But before that make sure that the throttle body is very clean and doesn’t have dirty and clean spots
    2
  3577. I would have them clean it at the same time and save on labor
    2
  3578. Hi! Yes it’s the same
    2
  3579. Let it do it by itself
    2
  3580. You can spray directly but in very small amounts. Over do it and you can have it pool in the intake
    2
  3581. Yeah they’re fun especially with a hot engine on a waiter 😉
    2
  3582. Hi! It’s similar. Your Lexus should have a cable still that drives a sensor that operates a motor
    2
  3583. Hi! They might be referring to other models. This Toyota specific and it doesn’t cause harm to the motor
    2
  3584. Hi! If oil changes were done on time then an oil flush is not needed. On the throttle body every up to 50k is a good idea
    2
  3585. Hi! I wouldn’t unless it bothers you. Just drive it and it will settle
    2
  3586. On Toyota and Lexus yes
    2
  3587. On the model you have the risk is lower for rust as it’s well covered underneath
    2
  3588. Hi! It shouldn’t affect the hybrid system.
    2
  3589. Hi! The procedure on the bottle is honestly a generic one and is meant for professionals. I don’t like spraying directly at the plate because I’ve seen it overdone where people spray too much which pools in the intake and can cause issues.
    2
  3590. Hi! Clean the throttle body
    2
  3591. Hi! It does affect it a little bit. And I do have a video on oxygen sensors just search car care nut o2 sensor
    2
  3592. You could but don’t spray too much
    2
  3593. It works. It just manipulates the signal of the pedal
    2
  3594. Possibly it’s weather related.
    2
  3595. Hi! Doubt you’ve done something wrong. How’s the weather in your area?
    2
  3596. Hi! That is the same for the newer Camry as well
    2
  3597. Hi! The transmission has to come out to replace it. I wouldn’t say it’s DIY unless you have a lift
    2
  3598. It could be a torque converter shudder
    2
  3599. Hi! It’s possible. But does it vibrate or shake and if you accelerate harder it goes away?
    2
  3600. Hard to tell without driving it to see what it’s doing. I usually recommend original fluid you can try replacing the fluid Back to WS
    2
  3601. Hi! Go to engine/ECT then Utility then reset memory. See if this does it
    2
  3602. Hi! It could be a history code. Erase it and drive it for a month and then recheck it
    2
  3603. You’ll cycle the shifter with the car running and your foot on the brake. Once the light comes on solid then off put the car in park pull the wire and keep it running then adjust the fluid once the light is on solid not off or flashing
    2
  3604. Yes you’ll need to check the fluid level per the video. Simple process. Initially Add half a quart higher than what you drains and adjust the level
    2
  3605. For the transmission should be up to 5 quarts
    2
  3606. Hi! That is normal.
    2
  3607. It wouldn’t mess it up just be careful for your hands
    2
  3608. Hi! Does it do it when the engine is cold or hot? And do you notice a noticeable change in the sound of the engine other than the rpm?
    2
  3609. Hi! I do work at a Toyota dealership. Labor wise for the throttle body cleaning is half an hour. There’s no such thing as a modern tune up. The throttle body every 25-50k miles as needed. And the spark plugs either at 120k or 60k depends on your model. The fuel injection service depends on your driving habits.
    2
  3610. Hi! Honestly any cleaner will work from any parts stote
    2
  3611. Hi! Yes I would clean it. It’s the same process
    2
  3612. The first generation Prius was notorious for this and to an extent the 2nd generation as well. Usually what does it for these is oil in the intake so in addition to cleaning the throttle body I would try to get some of the oil out of the intake so it wouldn’t puddle and cause issues
    2
  3613. You’ll need to check power and ground if they’re good then it could be a faulty throttle body
    2
  3614. Yes
    2
  3615. Yes it does.
    2
  3616. Yes for the water leak. Can’t share too much on this recall yet
    2
  3617. Hi! It’s basically a fuel induction cleaning service. Cleans the combustion chamber and any small amount of carbon present is cleaned
    2
  3618. Hi! So older models has a cable activated throttle. It won’t be as affected by cleaning the throttle body. Some of them had an idle air control valve which could need cleaning but since it’s not as simple as just cleaning the throttle body I wouldn’t go into it unless there’s issue which are not very common.
    2
  3619. If memory serves right no egr
    2
  3620. Hi! Typically that’s an easy area to bleed. You can pinch the hoses that way coolant loss is at a minimum
    2
  3621. It does not
    2
  3622. Hi! Is it a slight vibration or severe?
    2
  3623. You’re good to wait no worries
    2
  3624. Hi! Toyota doesn’t have that issue. Some other makes do have it
    2
  3625. Hi! It does need to adjust the idle over time. If you erase the memory it goes back to factory settings
    2
  3626. Nothing out of the ordinary. The plugs are very straight forward. The throttle body is a bit more difficult but not that hard to do
    2
  3627. Hi! Mechanical wise both of them are very similar. The Prius is more of a specialty hybrid which it’s shape that’s designed to get the most gas mileage. It also has a few things that are not conventional when compared to a normal car. Like the shifter and the digital gauges being in the middle of the dash. The corolla is essentially the same car but without the space age look and interior. The corolla gets great gas mileage and feels and looks like a very normal car. If you’ve never owned hybrids before the corolla would be the closest thing to a normal car and you’ll feel at home immediately. Honestly as far as options both of them are pretty well optioned in their base model form. I would think about what you want in a car other than the standard things. The Prius can be optioned more than the corolla. Things like leather seats for example
    2
  3628. Hi! Emails are difficult at this point honestly. Could you rewrite the contents here
    2
  3629. It shouldn’t take that long. Usually half an hour yo an hour
    2
  3630. Hi! As long as the box is secure and the others are holding it well I’d say it’s not worth replacing yet.
    2
  3631. Hi! Yes it’s the same process
    2
  3632. Hi! Oil in the intake which is normal of any engine
    2
  3633. Hi! I don’t recommend this method. If anything happens and the throttle is let go it could seriously hurt your hand
    2
  3634. Hi! If there are no warning lights I wouldn’t worry
    2
  3635. Hi! Does it continue to do that or just once?
    2
  3636. Yes
    2
  3637. Hi! Try cleaning the throttle body first.
    2
  3638. Hi! It’s a nice upgrade I think. But know that fuel will be premium and the overall maintenance will increase
    2
  3639. Usually that fuse goes out when the battery is completely dead and you try to start the car. If that is the case then just replace it and take care of the battery and you’re good. But if the battery is good and all of a sudden it went then I’d inspect the circuit for shorts or overload
    2
  3640. Hi! I wouldn’t honestly. Use a dedicated cleaner for this one
    2
  3641. It could be. But a dirty maf would have a larger effect
    2
  3642. Yes that’s possible. Erase the codes and you’re good to go
    2
  3643. Hi! No worries. Alternatively you can remove it then clean it
    2
  3644. Hi! 0w20 in this case
    2
  3645. Hi! You can just small amounts and wipe down. You don’t want to spray too much
    2
  3646. Thank you for watching my video! Very true! You’d want to be a cautious driver and if and when that one situation happens that you can’t react in time the system might just come to the rescue.
    2
  3647. I’m not really sure about the European markets might be called differently or numbered differently.
    2
  3648. Hi! Lifting does affect the camera and radar. They become a bit inaccurate
    2
  3649. Hi! The 2017 RAV4 did have lane departure alert with active steering but didn’t have lane tracing
    2
  3650. Though the newest generation Camry is very nice but the 2017 is a very solid car that I wouldn’t rush to trade in unless you don’t like the way it drives and want the newest features that the new Camry has.
    2
  3651. I’d say it was too small to pickup for the camera.
    2
  3652. Hi! In some cases at lower speeds the system doesn’t react
    2
  3653. Hybrids don’t have auto start stop like non hybrids because they just shut off the engine as a normal part of their operation. The HVAC continues to function as well.
    2
  3654. Which model? Is it the box separate to the passenger side?
    2
  3655. At the dealership level calibrations after lifts are not possible.
    2
  3656. Hope you’re ok.
    2
  3657. Hi! I already answered your question in another comment let me know if you have any other questions
    2
  3658. The answer to this question would not be a simple one. Some of them are and some aren’t. The parts department would answer this one looking for the wire harness part no for different optioned models. If they’re the same then it’s pre wires
    2
  3659. I really have no experience with new hondas.
    2
  3660. I would replace it every 60k or 6 years whichever comes first using Toyota WS ATF fluid
    2
  3661. Hi! Use the link in the description for the most updated price. And the company is called auto wit
    2
  3662. It should work.
    2
  3663. It should be safe on any 12v automotive application
    2
  3664. In this case this jumper might not work. You can plug it using the usb cable to a wall to charge it and jump the car
    2
  3665. It can directly over the terminals. The battery I tested it with was completely dead.
    2
  3666. Hi! This video is planned and coming!
    2
  3667. Via usb is takes a minute or two
    2
  3668. I’m sorry about version 1 not working for you. I totally understand your frustration! Honestly I tested this one a lot and still use it. Recently the temps in Chicago has been very low and I used it to jump start a dead car and it worked. Have you tried to contact the company?
    2
  3669. 😂 a broken down one currently... here’s the build series on that 99 Mercedes to see how she got that far! https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeFzfl0Q8rQWwi5smxkEUrQxFdf3q_ggk
    2
  3670. That would actually work very well. Thank you for watching.
    2
  3671. Hi! You’ll need to connect it to the battery while it is connected to the car
    2
  3672. Hi! Venzas typically are good. The 4 cylinder can develop oil burning if not maintained properly
    2
  3673. Hi! Yes we’ll need to wait for an update for this one that is correct
    2
  3674. Thank you for watching! It wouldn’t influence my decision honestly. They are both good options.
    2
  3675. Happy new year! Thank you for watching!
    2
  3676. Somewhat similar with this feeling a bit roomier
    2
  3677. Hi! I would bring it to the dealerships attention. Best way is to film it making the noise so they won’t give you a hard time. Sometimes either the mirror or one of the trims can cause noises and usually the repair is not complicated or difficult.
    2
  3678. How about Turo? It’s a car rental platform is that available in your area?
    2
  3679. Hi! I’ll do one once I get one to film with
    2
  3680. Thank you Shane! Hope you’re enjoying your weekend! May the lord bless you and keep you!
    2
  3681. Yes
    2
  3682. Hi! Yes q&a livestream at 4pm CT
    2
  3683. Hi! It’s not reason for concern. The combination of the tires and the temps dropping is what causes this. Once you get the other tires back in the springs and temps start going up it’ll be back
    2
  3684. Hi! I would give it a few minutes to warm up and be on your way
    2
  3685. Hi! Will do when I get one
    2
  3686. Different markets will have different recommendations and possible different programming. Stick with your owners manual recommendation. If it says use 0w16 and don’t list anything else then I would stick with it
    2
  3687. Hi! Not yet. Planned for the futute
    2
  3688. Hi! This is going to sound like an odd question but bare with me. Was there by any chance a 30 minute window between when you opened the gas door to when you fueled?
    2
  3689. You can change the brands. Mobil 1 makes it
    2
  3690. It’s definitely bigger than the CHR
    2
  3691. I think that’s a nice car. We don’t have the hybrid model of the chr but the non hybrid is a very good car and the hybrid system that’s in it is very good
    2
  3692. Hi! If equipped you’ll be able to see it through the vent.
    2
  3693. Very true but that’s where I’m wondering what they will come up with to significantly improve the gas mileage while retaining the functionality of the tundra
    2
  3694. That’s the rumors that are going around. Possible twin turbo v6 and/or hybrid. Hybrid on a truck is a very interesting challenge and would love to see what needs to change to make it functional
    2
  3695. I’ve noticed a very small amount of consumption. At this point we’re talking about half a quart every 3,000 miles
    2
  3696. Hi! It does on 2nd and 3rd haven’t tested it on a 1st gen
    2
  3697. No need to connect to the internet
    2
  3698. Yes it will.
    2
  3699. Hi! Unfortunately you can’t disable the tire light with any scan tool honestly. Your best bet is to look into plucking the bulb out and calling it a day
    2
  3700. Honestly I haven’t tested their higher models. I can’t recommend or not recommend them as I haven’t tested them myself. But I would check them out and compare features vs autel and others
    2
  3701. If you go to their website or their Amazon store they have higher models than that to match those of autel. Autel is excellent but also high priced. Another company that’s sending me more of a professional scan tool which I’ll be testing and reviewing if I liked it is top don.
    2
  3702. For a mobile mechanic I would go with a higher model like the D8 or higher. It will have features that would help you as a professional mechanic
    2
  3703. This one can’t and I recommend to the company that it should be standard. The higher model can do this
    2
  3704. Yes it can
    2
  3705. Hi! I would contact the company for specifics before you buy
    2
  3706. It services every make and model. Contact the company for specifics on capabilities for other makes
    2
  3707. The software update for the tool is $99 per year after the 3 years but the tool will continue to work after the free 3 years are over just won’t support new models that come after the update ends. And you can’t reflash computers on the car with this
    2
  3708. Yes this gives you access to all models and 3 years free updates
    2
  3709. Hi! This tool can program tpms sensors.
    2
  3710. Hi! I work at a Toyota dealership
    2
  3711. Hi! Contact the company for specifics
    2
  3712. I couldn’t find it. I don’t think it supports it. I’m getting the D8 to check it out I’ll see if that one can do it
    2
  3713. I’ll find out
    2
  3714. That is one thing I haven’t had a chance to look into is transmission memory reset. I did it on a non Toyota but gotta find a right candidate to test it
    2
  3715. Hi! You can reflash or reprogram ecus with this tool
    2
  3716. It’s universal
    2
  3717. Hi! It will do some bi directional control but not a lot and that’s the same case with techstream
    2
  3718. Hi! It can’t customize features for Toyota like turning off the beeper. It can show the voltage and temperature of modules. It can program fobs and keys and TPMS
    2
  3719. This one does not support obd1
    2
  3720. Hi! I would contact the company directly and they’ll send it to you.
    2
  3721. It’s comparable but this one have a few more features and according to the company that’s on purpose to compete with it
    2
  3722. Techstream is better of course because it’s official. But connect techstream to a regular car and it will show you less info than a 20 dollar code reader. It only works on one model
    2
  3723. Hi! Yes it can on most models
    2
  3724. Thank you!
    2
  3725. Hi! The 4WD system on your truck doesn’t have scan tool communication even with the official scan tool. It needs to be diagnosed manually by checking the wires
    2
  3726. Not sure on how much can you expand the memory I would ask the manufacturer
    2
  3727. It uses standard as well it can be changed from the settings
    2
  3728. Good question. That is something I haven’t tried and I doubt it can do
    2
  3729. Hi! I would contact the manufacturer for supported Nissan models and which functions it supports
    2
  3730. Hi! Unfortunately this one doesn’t do customizations. I’m waiting for the D8 model to arrive which is promised to do that
    2
  3731. Hi! I asked the company about this they said it’s in transit to Amazon
    2
  3732. Setting the monitors needs a drive cycle to be completed. Even techstream won’t help do that. You’ll need to let the monitors run their cycle to complete
    2
  3733. Not really most dealerships don’t even charge for it. You can get a carista scan tool which is cheap and can do the customizations
    2
  3734. Hi! It’s a 2022 as well. Video coming up this week on Japan vs NA build
    2
  3735. Yes. Snap On USA does but then it costs $5000 and does the same thing.
    2
  3736. Hi! They should take around 3-5 don’t remember right off the top of my head.
    2
  3737. Hi! It’s WS and simple drain and fill then warm it up and check it on the dipstick with the engine running in park
    2
  3738. Hi! As a rule of thumb it’s not a bad idea to replace it when you replace spark plugs
    2
  3739. Hi! Yes it can.
    2
  3740. $470
    2
  3741. Hi! It covers cars 1996 and above
    2
  3742. Unfortunately it doesn’t. The higher model does
    2
  3743. Hi! It should be better but I haven’t tested one long enough yet. I’ll make a review for it
    2
  3744. No it doesn’t
    2
  3745. Hi! No scan tool will be able to disable it permanently.
    2
  3746. Thank you!
    2
  3747. Hi! Video coming up Saturday with comparison
    2
  3748. Never heard of it. Thanks for the heads up I’ll check it out. What are the capabilities?
    2
  3749. I haven’t experimented with Volvo but with Mercedes it seems to allow some adaptations and encoding
    2
  3750. Yes it can in the data list
    2
  3751. Hi! Not sure about the vci cable with the official software
    2
  3752. Hi! I would contact the company to ask about that
    2
  3753. Hi! That might be too old to have such a test even with toyotas official scan tool. I’d have to check and see if it’s capable
    2
  3754. I use it mainly for diagnosis and quick things. It’s faster. Sometimes I’m just clearing codes or reading a quick data item and techstream can be very slow at times. For certain cases I have to use techstream of course
    2
  3755. Hi! No it services all makes and models
    2
  3756. This can’t do that function
    2
  3757. Hi! It supports dodge but I would contact the company for specifics
    2
  3758. Yes it can see the transmission temp in real time
    2
  3759. Hi! It’s built into the DCM unit and not serviceable. There’s no listing for a specific life but it is very long as it’s hardly used
    2
  3760. Yes
    2
  3761. It does but it’s not the best
    2
  3762. Yes it does support many languages
    2
  3763. Hi! It was available when the review came out but they’ve sold out
    2
  3764. It supports Ford but I would contact the company for specifics
    2
  3765. Hi! It does support Subaru and they are somewhat close not exactly the same but Toyota and Subaru are closer than say Toyota and honda which are almost complete opposite
    2
  3766. I’ll share some news on that on saturdays live stream
    2
  3767. Hi! Yes it can
    2
  3768. Hi! Unfortunately no. Your only option is aftermarket
    2
  3769. Yes
    2
  3770. Hi! It can depending on the model of car and the data list they provide for toyota you can
    2
  3771. Hi! Contact the company for specifics on Volkswagen
    2
  3772. Hi! This scan tool can’t do customizations for the Speedo. Changing km to mph on the cluster is not possible because it’s a mechanical gaugw
    2
  3773. It’s included for 3 years after that they haven’t communicated what they would cost
    2
  3774. Not at the moment if something comes up I’ll review it
    2
  3775. No only obd2
    2
  3776. Still the same price just checked it
    2
  3777. Hi! Carista can possible check SRS codes and do the TPMS but the calibration will need a higher level scan tool
    2
  3778. Hi! Unfortunately that option can’t be changed due to safety.
    2
  3779. Honestly Marjan my communication with the company is discussing the product and back and forth. Their communication is very good with me usually respond within 24 hours with good information. Don’t know if that will be the same with after sale support.
    2
  3780. Hi! Honestly I don’t have a lot of experience with fords
    2
  3781. In most cases yes. Some of the older models it’s missing some data which the company seems to want the feedback to try to match techstream with the amount of data available
    2
  3782. Hi! Toyota doesn’t have that. I’ll see if I can do it on another make
    2
  3783. Hi! This is a known issue. The seat needs calibration. Either take it to the dealership or move the seat in every possible position in both sides as far as it goes and it will calibrate
    2
  3784. It should but contact the manufacturer to verify and see what capabilities it has
    2
  3785. I see it listed. Don’t know what their exact capabilities for Volvo are. I connected to a Mercedes Benz and it seemed to have a lot of things even coding
    2
  3786. Hi! I would contact the manufacturer to see what functions they have for that model
    2
  3787. Hi! The D8 is here and I’m in the process of testing it and reviewing it in a video hopefully before Christmas time if everything goes well
    2
  3788. Hi! It’s 470 and I contacted the company they are in transit
    2
  3789. Hi! You have an open differential so you should be ok for temporary use. But don’t make it long term use. And in 2WD you can use it in the front for longer
    2
  3790. Yes you can
    2
  3791. Hi my brother. So the updates are 3 years free and I am inquiring what it would be afterwards I’ll update everyone when I know. And as far as spare parts I would assume they sell them but you’d have to contact the company directly. Their communication is usually good within 24 hours you’ll get a response
    2
  3792. That’s not correct on the updates. After 3 years when the free updates stop you can still use the tool but new models that come out AFTER the update stopped might not have support
    2
  3793. So they can work with newer models as they come out.
    2
  3794. On the car I tested it on, it was able to read them
    2
  3795. Haven’t tried it yet on lost all keys yet but on the techstream side it’s the same thing. You just need to wake up the smart key system by pushing the start button then manually enter the car information and it will communicate with the smart key ecu
    2
  3796. Hi! It does run off of the power of the car when you plug it in. Just make sure the car battery is good. And it’s not an easily replaceable battery it’s part of the unit
    2
  3797. Hi! That is something that the D7 doesn’t do. I’m in process of testing the higher version D8 video coming soon
    2
  3798. Thank you sir!
    2
  3799. I would recommend the 2013 highlander given that it doesn't have the issues mentioned in this video. Look for the leak and make sure the one you buy is not leaking. If it is leaking and the price is right I suppose you could either live with the leak or fix it. As long as you don't pay top dollar for one that's leaking or have other issues mentioned in this video I think you can't go wrong with a 2013 highlander in good shape.
    2
  3800. Hi! This car doesn’t have a front timing cover but can have oil leaks from Valve cover gaskets cam and crank seals. It will need to be checked. On the brakes this will need diagnosis as I need to hear the noise
    2
  3801. Hi! Some of them still have the rubber hose. If it has all metal then it’s been changed
    2
  3802. I would use an oem water pump as the new part is updated and should last longer.
    2
  3803. These are good tires. I would check bearings then.
    2
  3804. Remove the radio from the car. And then turn the key on and while the key is on plug all the connectors. Then try to eject the dvd. If this doesn’t work it will need a new unit or the unit repaired.
    2
  3805. Hi! The price is a bit high. It’s a good car It’s been taken care of. If it doesn’t rattle on cold start up that’s good.
    2
  3806. Nothing common that I can think of. Does it happen when braking? Or going over bumps?
    2
  3807. Hi! This is the worst case scenario in the video. The idea is when you’re shopping for one, you know exactly what to look for without wasting time and/or missing important common things
    2
  3808. That’s coming up in around 2 weeks
    2
  3809. They’re both equally safe as long as they’re not rusty.
    2
  3810. Hi! I would go for the highlander with the 3.3 if you find one in good shape. The 4runner is also a great option but if your kid is not into off roading the highlander will be better
    2
  3811. Hi! The RX is good similar to the highlander in many aspects including the common issues. It’s a solid suv if it’s been taken care of.
    2
  3812. Hi! I would ask about the service history. Also check the car against all the issues I mentioned in this video. If it checks out that’s a good car. If the maintenance was done right I think that’s a good car to buy.
    2
  3813. The hybrid model is very reliable in this generation highlander.
    2
  3814. Hi! Some of the parts of the column can be bought separate. I would inquire with your local toyota parts for a print out of what’s available separate and then take it apart and see what’s causing the noise and order it
    2
  3815. Hi! Really there’s no mileage on this one. I’ve seen some rattle at 50k and some don’t rattle at 150k. Best is to make sure the one you’re buying doesn’t rattle.
    2
  3816. Hi! Email me a video of the noise I’ll take a listen. It’ll take me a few days to get back to you as I’m a bit backed up on emails.
    2
  3817. Hi! Parking it outside is not an issue as long as it’s driven regularly and normally not parked for a very long time without driving
    2
  3818. Hi! Are you looking at a 2021 highlander hybrid?
    2
  3819. Hi! It’s a bit hard and a bit risky. You’ll need to cut it
    2
  3820. Hi! If the car is in good condition and well taken care of it’s a very good start. I would always have a mechanic inspect the car to make sure what’s on paper matches what’s on the car.
    2
  3821. That was common on those. The rear one was very common more than the front. The newer ones are good except the bolts coming loose. On the rear use some silicone spray to lubricate the run channels see if that helps it
    2
  3822. I think some inflate the size of the brake issues with Toyota hybrids as it’s not as common as people think. Don’t worry about the car. Keep up the maintenance and make sure whoever is working on the car is qualified and you should have no issues.
    2
  3823. You’d need to remove the fender liner to get to it
    2
  3824. @Crypto88 It's likely the front timing cover leak. Don't be alarmed. Likely you will not see a measurable oil loss on the dipstick and the big cover under the car does a good job of keeping most of the leak contained.
    2
  3825. Hi! The highlander is the same as the klueger. And I wouldn’t add any additives if the maintenance was done correctly over the life of the engine. On the maintenance it resets after you reach the end. So you start with the first service when the car was new and go over the whole thing again
    2
  3826. Hi! Much less common but still possible
    2
  3827. Thank you for your suggestion! I will look into it.
    2
  3828. Hi! This is not an issue on the newer ones. The only knock sensors I’ve replaced on the 2gr engine are broken wires from rodent damage.
    2
  3829. Hi! Unfortunately I don’t have the same experience with honda as I do with Toyota.
    2
  3830. The highlander is the only exception. They did have mesh filters from day one. 3 vents underneath the back seat with mesh filters built into them.
    2
  3831. Hi and thank you for watching my video! I think your car already has the metal line on the back bank. You can have your mechanic verify it. And I would check the oil cooler line which was rubber. If it is I would change it and never have to worry about it. If it’s already metal that means it has been changed before and you’re all set
    2
  3832. If there’s a bad wheel bearing I would start with it. No need to replace both if only one is bad in my opinion.
    2
  3833. They are pretty reliable if taken care of. They do have their issues as they get older which are in this video. If you’re buying one that doesn’t currently have these issues unattended you got yourself a good one which should last a pretty long time with good maintenance and care
    2
  3834. Hi! It could be the drains or if the drains are clogged down by the kick panel it could back up as well. A sun roof drain snake could help open it. But first pour a bit of water and see if it’s draining properly. The sun roof structure itself could be the source of the leak but that would be the last thing as they’re not common at all.
    2
  3835. I honestly wouldn’t worry about it unless it’s dripping on the ground
    2
  3836. Hi! The breather should turn when you turn it if it doesn’t you need to clean it up and get it moving again. On the oil passage. There are 2-3 bolts that block off an oil passage on the side cover of the transmission they have o rings behind them they sometimes leak but usually it’s the side cover that leaks not just the oil plugs
    2
  3837. Hi! Could be residual from the job. I would clean it with brake clean and dry it up with compressed air and keep an eye on it. On the rust that’s the norm with a Midwest car but some undercoating would go a long way in stopping or at least slowing down the progress of rust
    2
  3838. Hi Cory. Take care of your car and it will take care of you. That’s a good year for highlanders and that’s very low mileage. Keep up the maintenance
    2
  3839. I wouldn’t really worry about the filter. They rarely if ever cause issues.
    2
  3840. That’s a really good question I would replace both to metal lines. That’s the split year likely your vvti supply line is metal but the oil cooler might not be. Best to check them to be sure
    2
  3841. Lego Adventures unless the rest of the car is spotless and you are really planning to keep it for at least another 5-10 years then fixing it is not justified cost wise
    2
  3842. Lego Adventures Yes I have seen engine failures because of this issue. But there’s a pretty big gap of time between when the engine first starts making the rattle at cold startup and when the engine fails. Usually when this progresses it will be a continuous ticking noise even when the engine is warm and running.
    2
  3843. Lego Adventures thank you for your comment. The failure rate is a hard one to put in a percentage. We’ve seen enough where I’d bring it up but it all depends on how bad the rattle is and actually how bad the gears are progressing. If the noise is from the front you can actually use an inspection camera to see the middle part of the gear if it’s separating and how far. If the gears are starting to separate then it’s an advanced stage and I would recommend taking care of it. If not then you’ve got time as things haven’t gotten bad yet.
    2
  3844. Hi! The 2016 RAV4 hybrid has been solid really. I haven’t seen any failures on hybrid inverters and batteries yet
    2
  3845. It is torqued. Pry bar to hold the wheel from turning
    2
  3846. For bearings you can replace individuals
    2
  3847. Hi! Not really. At high temperature and long time even the best anti seize will end up causing them to seize
    2
  3848. I’m sure we’ll film something for rav4s
    2
  3849. Hi! No. Bearings can be replaced individually
    2
  3850. Hi! Your Tacoma uses regular gasoline. If you have knocking I would switch brands and see if it goes away after a few weeks
    2
  3851. Hi! Check your spark plugs and look for excessive carbon build up. Also switch the brand of gas you’re using
    2
  3852. Hi! All grades
    2
  3853. Hi! Thank you for watching. You’re not making a mistake! Toyota trucks are very good.
    2
  3854. Hi! Not true. Use the gas your car was Designed to run on.
    2
  3855. There’s no harm in using higher octane but no real benefit.
    2
  3856. Hi! If it doesn’t specifically mentions premium fuel then it’s regular fuel. Things vary between countries but usually branded gas stations are good unless you know the third party quality. You can’t do harm to your car using premium but you won’t gain anything.
    2
  3857. Hi! That is actually the misconception of premium gasoline. The only difference between regular and premium is the octane rating. All the other additives are the same.
    2
  3858. Hi! You can use regular gas for your RAV4 without issues. That’s the gas they’re designed to work on
    2
  3859. Hi! Different tuning for the engine. This has come up and we could never get a clear answer why from Toyota
    2
  3860. Typically they mention 87 or better so 87 will work fine. I’ll look into the manual language
    2
  3861. I love your logical common sense approach to this Bryan.
    2
  3862. Hi! Your sienna hybrid calls for regular 87 gas
    2
  3863. No issues if your car is rated for 87
    2
  3864. Hi Jim. Honestly I’m not sure about the material of tanks in gas stations. I’m sure they are heavily regulated and frequently checked for leaks into the ground as that’s a major violation. I use top tier gas stations and try to use the same one that never gave me issues.
    2
  3865. Hi’ honestly not something significant.
    2
  3866. Hi! If available 0% ethanol fuel is better for all cars. But that is not available everywhere.
    2
  3867. Thank you for watching my channel Robert! Welcome to the Car Care Nuts Family!
    2
  3868. Glad it was helpful!
    2
  3869. Hi! Likely regular gas
    2
  3870. Hi! 87 on most of the Toyota badged ones and 91 wouldn’t damage it
    2
  3871. Look in your owners manual for that one. Whatever it says that’s what you use
    2
  3872. Yea 85 in high altitude is similar to 87
    2
  3873. Costco gas is good. It’s top tier
    2
  3874. Hi! Premium in a non premium car wouldn’t affect anything just your wallet. Putting 87 in a car designed for premium is not good and you’ll very shortly after putting the 87 notice the issues. Initially lack of power possible check engine light and extends to engine damage
    2
  3875. Not really. If it says 87 is good then I would stick with it.
    2
  3876. I see. The only thing that would make sense on premium getting better gas mileage is that in some areas regular gas has ethanol and premium doesn’t. Gas without ethanol will give you better gas mileage
    2
  3877. Hi! No concrete reason that makes sense but let me ask you this. Does fuel in Australia contain a certain percentage of ethanol?
    2
  3878. Hi! Originals would be my choice but KYB in the aftermarket world
    2
  3879. Chevron is listed as top tier gasoline
    2
  3880. Hi Robert. The only difference is the octane. Premium otherwise has the exact same additives as regular
    2
  3881. Hi! You can switch to 87 as the car will run perfectly fine on 87
    2
  3882. It’s programming for sure
    2
  3883. Carbon build up will have more to do with the quality of gas and driving conditions
    2
  3884. Hi! 87 should do the trick.
    2
  3885. Glad I could help!
    2
  3886. Hi! Try using a different brand of gasoline
    2
  3887. Lol you got it
    2
  3888. Thanks!
    2
  3889. Hi! Not at this time. Perhaps in the future. I do have an almost weekly livestream which I have one today at 7 pm centeal
    2
  3890. Hi! Yes some Lexus models are made outside of Japan
    2
  3891. Good question! I’ll need to look into that. Don’t recall doing one of these recalls on a manual
    2
  3892. Hi! Simply supply and demand. There’s no real reason other than that. Toyota started building the ES and RX because they’re high demand models. Others not as much and they might change that if demand changes. It simply boils down to the cost of making the car in Japan and shipping it vs the cost to make a whole new model in a North American plant.
    2
  3893. Hi! Honestly replacing the pistons and rings in this case
    2
  3894. Hi! Don’t be honestly.
    2
  3895. It shouldn’t matter the dealership other than the PDI service I did a video on that
    2
  3896. Hi! On your highlander it’s not as needed as before as the car is well covered underneath
    2
  3897. Hi! Reliability wise they are the same. The RX is nicer but more expensive
    2
  3898. Hi! We’re the tire/wheel assembly rotated to see if the vibration changes? And is this vibrating in the steering wheel or the whole car?
    2
  3899. If it goes away in 4WD it sounds like the needle bearing on the front differential but will need to be inspected
    2
  3900. Hi! On Lexus being a premium brand a bit more attention is taken but almost similar to Toyota
    2
  3901. It’s not. The ES and RX are not only made in Japan
    2
  3902. Hi! The GR86 is a joint venture unlike the Supra. The engine is Subaru but many of the electronics including the whole fuel injection system is make by Toyota for example. It’s a good car but I would buy it new and take very good care of it
    2
  3903. Hi! There hasn’t been much issues. Very few issues on Camry models with noise but under warranty at low mileage. Maybe a case or two seems too isolated to be a common issue
    2
  3904. Hi! I would pick the Tacoma that’s made in the US/Mexico because there’s no Tacoma made in Japan 😉 I honestly wouldn’t look at where it’s made.
    2
  3905. Hi! I personally would change it every 5000 miles using either Toyota or Mobil 1
    2
  3906. Hi Jeffery. I agree with you on the bumpers. A pull bar is ok but it’s of course not sightly and adds weight and affects the aerodynamic of the car. Other options would be bump shocks which is a rubber piece you lay over the bumpers when you park on the street. They work well and can be removed so they’re not always there
    2
  3907. Some batteries fail prematurely but most last 5-7 years and some more
    2
  3908. They’ve gotten better in the newer models
    2
  3909. Hi! Contact your local Toyota dealership with the part number
    2
  3910. Hi! You’ll need to scan it for codes to know what’s going on.
    2
  3911. Hi! I’m actively looking for an avalon to film this video with in the Chicago area. I don’t know of any place that has instructions for this. I’m hoping to find one soon and have a video out
    2
  3912. Because when the fan gets clogged it can no longer cool the battery and when this battery keeps overheating it’s life is greatly reduced.
    2
  3913. You’re gonna need to clean the fan once then the filter every year or so or as needed
    2
  3914. Hi! Some disassembly is needed for the back seat to get to the filter. A video for this will come in the future on my channel
    2
  3915. Hi Michael! I don’t have a video for the Camry specifically but I do have one for the corolla which is similar to the Camry
    2
  3916. Go to parts.Toyota.com enter your vin number then search for G92DH
    2
  3917. Not yet but I’m looking for a Camry hybrid to use in the video in chicago
    2
  3918. My apologies. Yes you are right I was answering an exact question on transmission fluid. On your 16 Camry the vent should have a filter on the drivers side of the seat back. To remove it you’d have to remove the bottom of the back seat then remove the side bolster to get to it. So follow the procedure on this video until I remove the side bolster on the drivers side. But before all that shine a light and make sure you have a filter from the factory
    2
  3919. No hybrids are simpler just drain and fill until it overflows and you’re done.
    2
  3920. Hi! As shown in the video you can purchase the filter from any Toyota dealership
    2
  3921. This could cost 2-3 hours or labor to do. Labor rate will vary by area. In Chicago labor rate is 110-150 per hour
    2
  3922. Hi! The engine actually runs pretty good and is clean inside which shows overall good maintenance regiment
    2
  3923. Hi! If you keep up the maintenance and use original parts you should be nearing 300k before major things start to happen. The condition this car is in the video is typical of 300k cars with medium maintenance
    2
  3924. Hi! 4 or 6 cylinder and did you clean the throttle body?
    2
  3925. Hi! Video on engine washing coming in spring time
    2
  3926. Hi! Plenty of clearance for the hood! This is a quick jack lift by bendpak
    2
  3927. Hi’ times are hard now for car prices. I would shop around and try to get the best car possible
    2
  3928. Hi! Not all of them leak. Depends on the model. 2012+ Camry and avalons are the least leaking ones among all. Sienna and highlander are the highest
    2
  3929. Hi! It’s a secondary lock for the bearing.
    2
  3930. Hi! The ES is not as common to have these leaks. Nothing can be done to prevent them honestly. With age and high mileage it’s a possibility
    2
  3931. Hi! High mileage oil doesn’t really help with leaks
    2
  3932. Hi! Cars leak with age and miles. This is one weak point of leak in this engine
    2
  3933. Hi! Don’t recall the exact size but it’s the same one for the canister filter
    2
  3934. Hi! If the fluid looks dirty yes replace it
    2
  3935. Hi! I’m in the Chicago land area
    2
  3936. Toyota paint is very thin and easily chipped
    2
  3937. Thank you!
    2
  3938. Hi! This one is a thinkcar pro. I did a review on it a few weeks ago
    2
  3939. So the front cover is pretty big on these and taking that out in the car is extremely tight and when installing you will likely smear the sealer and not have a good seal. Not worth the risk as any seasoned toyota technician will have the drivetrain on the ground in less than 2 hours
    2
  3940. Hi! Yes I did a video showing the process
    2
  3941. Usually early models will have some Japanese made ones mixed in
    2
  3942. Some models here and there have them plastic. They last as long
    2
  3943. Hi! If the rotors are above min spec which likely they are at this mileage and don’t have severe rust they can be resurfaced and reused
    2
  3944. Honestly no without a major expensive of getting really high quality insulation and putting the time to actually engineer the sound deadening material
    2
  3945. Hi! An additive like BG 44k platinum helps with carbon build up
    2
  3946. Hi! I can’t quit my job because I love it! Maybe open my own shop one day.
    2
  3947. Strange is not a bad thing. Strange is different. Different is unique. Scions had their quirks but they are solid cars from a reliability standpoint.
    2
  3948. Hi! Not much you can do to prevent rust other than driving the car however every year or two take the brakes apart clean everything and make sure nothing is sticking
    2
  3949. Hi! Depends on the thickness. They do have a minimum thickness measurement which needs to be checked every time the brakes are due for replacement
    2
  3950. Hi! Is the air bag light on? Maybe the pre tensioner deployed?
    2
  3951. Hi! Should be around 13-15
    2
  3952. Hi! The sparks plugs are very easy to replace on your Yaris. Nothing hard about them just torque them to spec and no anti seize. Same for the pcv valve.
    2
  3953. Hi! The same. You just have a transfer case in the front and a rear differential
    2
  3954. Hi! Yes you can
    2
  3955. Hi! Every 30 k miles.
    2
  3956. Unknown to me but the owner said it has been replaced. Not sure when. But that’s normal from experience
    2
  3957. Hi! GL5 75w85 works
    2
  3958. Hi! I personally don’t recommend any products that promise to stop leaks or “recondition” seals
    2
  3959. Hi! In the Chicago area
    2
  3960. Honestly this is a whole subject of a video on its own. Many people will give you many reasons. Some will say for the environment while others will say for cost. They have been doing this for years and they’re not the only ones.
    2
  3961. Interesting. Try blocking the exhaust with the car running and see if anything is leaking
    2
  3962. Hi! The transfer case on these actually share the transmission fluid. So you’ll have a front differential and a rear differential service wise for fluid and then the transmission fluid replaces the transfer case fluid as well.
    2
  3963. Hi! If the redline fluid is GL5 75w85 or 75w90 it will work
    2
  3964. I would love to! But I’d need to car to use for filming
    2
  3965. H!! Yes but only a differential in the rear which uses Toyota WS transmission fluid. No transfer case
    2
  3966. Hi! On your model no it’s sealed
    2
  3967. You could. But by the time you get sealer and correct one you might as well just replace the plugs with new
    2
  3968. Hi! I don’t recommend the generic store brand fluids. Go with Mobil 1 valvoline…etc. d
    2
  3969. Thank you!
    2
  3970. Hi! I wouldn’t use stop leak. Top off the fluid until you can fix it
    2
  3971. Hi! Yea it will work without issues
    2
  3972. That’s what the owner wanted. As long as they’re the same weight it doesn’t matter.
    2
  3973. Hi! The 2017 CT is good. Very close to the Prius but in a nicer package. Any CT after 2014 is good
    2
  3974. Hi! I’ll put a video on that when possinle
    2
  3975. 75w90 should work and yea you can do it without a lift
    2
  3976. Hi! Here’s the link https://youtu.be/eRxSu4-4ojo
    2
  3977. Hi! Nice small suv. I’ll try to do a full review soon. Hard time getting one to film with
    2
  3978. Hi! Thank you! Break and disconnect-type vacation coming up!
    2
  3979. Hi! You’ll need relatively level
    2
  3980. Hi! If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. If the vent is working and not clogged, there’s no need to replace it
    2
  3981. You can change them at 60k no issues.
    2
  3982. Hi! Yea the transfer case in your rav4 is separate if it’s AWD.
    2
  3983. Yes I’d need to get one to really demonstrate the noise they make and how to fix rhem
    2
  3984. Hi! You’ll need to scan it for codes to see what’s going on with it
    2
  3985. Hi! That is completely normal! Don’t worry! It’s using the engine to slow down the car
    2
  3986. Hi! I wouldn’t use it to slow the car on plain roads.
    2
  3987. Hi! It’s the same. It needs to rev the engine up to get the engine braking
    2
  3988. You can without issues. Basically similar to a non hybrid.
    2
  3989. Hi! Thank you for watching! Very good question. So you’d want to treat it as an AWD system when it comes to matching tires. But not as sensitive as say a Subaru. You can rotate the tires as needed cross or front-back
    2
  3990. Hi! When the battery charge indicator reads full.
    2
  3991. Hi! Use B mode on descends only and if needed. It doesn’t really work like a traditional automatic
    2
  3992. No you actually don’t want to use B in hill climbing. Just use regular drive.
    2
  3993. Hi! On your Camry hybrid it’s ATF WS
    2
  3994. Hi! The Camry and Prius has a different engine but otherwise the hybrid system is similar. The s mode simulates manual transmission driving and also is used instead of B mode when going down a step hill to slow down the car.
    2
  3995. Hi! The tires on the same axle need to be similar
    2
  3996. B mode is essentially engine braking so I personally don’t use engine braking in snowy slippery roads
    2
  3997. Thank you Dominic!
    2
  3998. It might not work as well in snow
    2
  3999. Hi Michael! That’s essentially a maintenance schedule book error as there’s no driveshaft nuts to tighten in this case. The only maintenance on the rear hybrid transaxle is fluid change every 60-90k miles
    2
  4000. Thank you! The oil pump doesn’t run as the engine stops. Time will tell the effects I suppose
    2
  4001. Hi! It is not advisable to use b mode in this fashion. Just use the brakes
    2
  4002. Thank you Niall! While we don’t have that specific model in my area but it does share a similar hybrid system as all Toyota hybrids do.
    2
  4003. Hi! I wouldn’t use it honestly other than it’s intended purpose. Using the brakes normally is sufficient to recover energy safely
    2
  4004. Thank you! Here’s a video talking about hvac on hybrids https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GStYQUTI3t4
    2
  4005. Hi! Compression is what creates load so if day it would be the same
    2
  4006. The engine can drive the wheels through the planetary just not directly like a conventional car. If the battery fails the car will be underpowered and will be able to move by the power of the engine only. If mg fails the system shuts down and is not drivable anymore in most cases
    2
  4007. It is similar is just mimics the feel of a manual transmission so think of it as levels of b mode if you would.
    2
  4008. Hi! Yes you can go to techinfo.Toyota.com get a subscription and get access to a lot more information
    2
  4009. Towing should be done on hybrids with all 4 wheels off the ground in AWD hybrids and driving wheels off the ground in 2WD hybrids. Thank you for the suggestion on EV mode. Added to the list!
    2
  4010. Hi! The bars on charge are a representation of the charge level. Depending on your driving conditions and habits it might not reach higher levels. If you want to see higher levels you want to do high regenerative braking like driving on the highway and lightly pressing the brake to slow the car gradually down
    2
  4011. Hi! I actually wouldn’t do that unless needed. Using the regular brakes will do the stopping just fine. On plain surfaces the regen braking will do a very good job and your hydraulic brakes will work as well but not as much as a non hybrid car.
    2
  4012. Yes you can
    2
  4013. Hi! Some did some didn’t. If it does it’s behind the vent on the back seat drivers side
    2
  4014. Usually in this case read the side that’s the lowest. Clean the dipstick and try again a few times and it’ll clear
    2
  4015. Hi! They’re almost identical to the video. I will update it as time passes by.
    2
  4016. Extended warranty is the answer. The longer and more comprehensive is better. You can also go with a sequoia or tundra. They’ve got a v8
    2
  4017. Hi! Yes see this video for it https://youtu.be/WNo-VXJSg7s
    2
  4018. Hi! It is not my place to inform about this as this didn’t happen at the dealership as this is a viewer car. However the owner is likely going to report this as the owner of the car.
    2
  4019. Hi! Unfortunately that’s one car that I would like to get a video for but can’t get one to use for the video.
    2
  4020. Hi! They are filled with full synthetic from the factory. I still recommend 5k oil changes on the new one
    2
  4021. Hi! The charcoal activated filter can be bought for almost all models but it was introduced as stock for 2018 and up models
    2
  4022. Parking brake shoes work immediately after replacement. They’re either not installed right where they’re adjusted all the way out and still not making good contact or the rotor is wrong for the car.
    2
  4023. They’re not ;-)
    2
  4024. Hi! Although accidents happen but 2 times in a row is no accident it’s just plain carelessness. I would push it as far as you need for them to fix it. At this point I would look for another dealership for service or speak with the manager and tell them this is their last chance.
    2
  4025. https://youtu.be/noE98WzXQSg
    2
  4026. 4.4
    2
  4027. You’ll see temps up to 210. If you start getting close to 240-250 that’s when I would be concerned
    2
  4028. Hi! Oil dye can honestly be harder sometimes to read as you need black light and glasses.
    2
  4029. Hi! That’s normal. For some reason they haven’t put a good camera for the back up yet
    2
  4030. Hi! Likely 2024.
    2
  4031. Hi! It’s commission called flat rate. I’ll go into it in a video coming in the future
    2
  4032. Hi! You’ve driven all this time without them so of course you’re good without them. If you move to an area with high heat I would install them back otherwise you’re good
    2
  4033. Hi! Drivers side of the back seat. It’s a bit more difficult on this model wish I can get one to film with to make a video
    2
  4034. Hi! Honestly I would just replace the boot. Glueing it won’t work as that’s a high heat area
    2
  4035. Hi! You’ll need to get codes first
    2
  4036. Hi! Unfortunately some dealerships will be hesitant to change the fluid. I would wait until 60k and try again
    2
  4037. Hi my brother. That’s the service plug and used to open the battery circuit for service. No need to remove it when servicing the filter. Only time that is unplugged is when working with high voltage wires
    2
  4038. If I get one here I’ll film it. This topic is quickly going up in the video topic request list.
    2
  4039. Anything blocked in the heater core?
    2
  4040. Hi! It won’t affect it.
    2
  4041. Hi! No need to disconnect it for testing or charging
    2
  4042. Hi! They can’t really blame anything on you. Nothing common for the rattle but have them take a look
    2
  4043. They’re very rare and very reliable. Fluid changes every 30-60k and clutches typically last well over 100k if taken care by a good driver.
    2
  4044. 2012-2014 only
    2
  4045. Hi! I honestly wouldn’t consider changing it if it’s a lot over 100k at this age. If anything I would do a simple drain and fill and call it a day.
    2
  4046. It’s the maintenance and oil change frequency. Running an oil cleaner could help with oil consumption if maintenance was not followed well but well maintained examples didn’t have issues.
    2
  4047. I would if the car is otherwise good. Not much features with the 2010 to justify the purchase.
    2
  4048. Congratulations on your purchase. The V6 is not as problematic with oil burning. The 4 cylinder is. The warranty could pay for itself easily with oil leaks. Make sure you mechanic checks everything well in every service.
    2
  4049. If it’s not burning oil I would highly recommend you keep your oil changes no more than 5k miles! On the manual transmission fluid id replace it every 30k miles
    2
  4050. Dealerships can do either a flush or drain and fill. If the flush is done right it’s good. The drain and fill is also good. Doesn’t replace all the fluid but replaces enough to renew the additive package and keep things fresh.
    2
  4051. Hi! How many miles does it have?
    2
  4052. I would look for a 2010-2011 V6 or a 2012-2014 Camry with either a v6 or 4 cylinder. Since you are not very knowledgeable with cars I would insist on an independent pre purchase inspection to save yourself headaches later. Basically have the car inspected by a mechanic before you buy it. The first thing after you buy the car is to change the oil every 5k miles or 6 months whichever comes first and keep up with the rest of the maintenance. Here’s a series I made on maintenance that will explain what you need to do and when. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeFzfl0Q8rQVtXIaJSF7EtirvTRhSbsrV
    2
  4053. Hi! After doing a new oil change, drive 1000 miles then check the oil level on the dipstick
    2
  4054. Hi! Ask for maintenance records. If not maintained right you could have issues like oil burning
    2
  4055. I would probably be looking at a 2015-2017 Toyota Camry.
    2
  4056. That works and in that case I’d look for a hybrid
    2
  4057. I would probably look at a corolla or any 4 cylinder car. The v6 you got is awesome but can get a bit thirsty driving around the city.
    2
  4058. Computer Professor I think using conventional oil of good quality will be ok. More importantly is the interval. Use an original oil filter and change it every 3-4K and you should have no issues. Check out the newly published video on the channel for how to maintain your Toyota I go into more details in that video
    2
  4059. Ok I wouldn’t worry about the transmission if it’s good. Unfortunately without a record it’s not a good idea to change it. Best you can do is at least make sure the level is correct and take a sample and see how it looks
    2
  4060. Jason Voorhees I would leave it alone at this mileage with no records. Hows the transmission shifting now?
    2
  4061. Hi! For comfort I would look at Avalon’s
    2
  4062. Timely oil maintenance is very important for these engines! I’m glad your car is doing well at this mileage! All that good maintenance and care you gave her from day one is paying off today! Hope you keep it for another 100k miles or more
    2
  4063. Hi! This is not a problem with this engine. This happens to this engine when maintenance is not followed properly.
    2
  4064. Hi! I would stick with ws fluid
    2
  4065. Thank you for your comment. People take the “legendary” Toyota reputation to such an extreme that they neglect them and they end burning oil. People who maintained them very well from day one have no issues.
    2
  4066. So far I’d vote for the 2015-2017 Camry models for simplicity and durability
    2
  4067. Thank you so much for your kind words! May the lord bless you and keep you!
    2
  4068. They are very good with good maintenance
    2
  4069. Hi! On certain parts you’re good with aftermarket. Some parts oem only.
    2
  4070. Thank you!
    2
  4071. I wouldn’t use it! The F2 is discontinued. Use the N1.
    2
  4072. Smart choice!
    2
  4073. Not much known problems with them
    2
  4074. Hi! It’s the same transmission p710 and it could have either battery option
    2
  4075. Hi! I am not aware of a kit to resolve shaking mirrors on these. The RAV4 did have a repair for this but not the corolla hatchback
    2
  4076. Hi! The current generation RX has a few common things similar to the ES like the radio and DCM issues
    2
  4077. Hi Tony! I love TMMK! You guys do awesome work! So the system in this car is the same as the old Venza operation wise but it’s more compact. You see this in assembly, the EPS moved its motor to the rack instead of on the column and the platform overall is lower so even though the transfer case is compact it just doesn’t fit with everything and the V6.
    2
  4078. Hi Lee. It’s possible it’s a head gasket issue but before anything I would verify it. Pressurize the cooling system and baro score the cylinders to see if you have a leak or not.
    2
  4079. Thank you!
    2
  4080. It’s FWD based just like the Camry/Avalon that’s why it doesn’t fit. Have you seen the Awd setup on the IS? That’s really a nightmare to take apart with the axle going through the oil pan
    2
  4081. Hi! Thank you for watching! Many have requested the NX likely it will be next when I can get one to film with
    2
  4082. Thank you for watching! The RX is on the list and coming as soon as I get a car to use for the video
    2
  4083. Hi! The 8 speed transmission on the ES seems better than the same trans in other cars but the smoothness of the 6 speed is worth it honestly. The engine is quieter as it doesn’t have direct injection. You did well honestly.
    2
  4084. Coming beginning of next year
    2
  4085. Hi! The NX hybrid is the best model to buy in the NX. They are good
    2
  4086. That is a good engine. No preference on where it’s build
    2
  4087. Hi! Not yet on the NX. They are good but I have concerns over the turbo engine
    2
  4088. Hi! Treat the brakes on your hybrid normally just don’t open the hydraulic circuit without following some precautions video coming out tomorrow for that.
    2
  4089. Hi! I am not familiar with Hyundai products
    2
  4090. Hi! You can try it yes. But make sure it doesn’t leak after you reattach it
    2
  4091. Hi brother! That would be busy season if they do that 😀 So far they’ve been ok honestly. They’re made out of plastic but what I anticipate could be an issue is when the pads start seizing in the holder then the motor pushes them and jams them even more then we might have some issues
    2
  4092. Ignition on ready off
    2
  4093. Hi! Make sure the key is off and out of the car then treat it as you would any normal non hybrid car just don’t open the bleeders
    2
  4094. Your Prius will surprise you how long the brakes will last. With Toyota hybrids it’s possible to still be on the same brakes to 100k miles.
    2
  4095. Hi! For the front or rear?
    2
  4096. Hi! That model is not available in my area to check but try it as there’s a high chance it will work
    2
  4097. Hi! Yes it does
    2
  4098. I wouldn’t do that as you risk damaging the motor on Toyota models. Don’t know about other models
    2
  4099. It should
    2
  4100. Hi! Yes it does
    2
  4101. Hi! You always want to finish the brake job as soon as you go into service mode and not let it sit unattended. And I would replace the caliper and try to swap the actuator unless it over stretched which I that case it would need replacement. If they can show you the other side leaking then yes it would have to be replaced as well
    2
  4102. Hi! It should work but I’ll need to double check
    2
  4103. The fronts don’t require anything special to service
    2
  4104. Hi! It’s advisable that you either resurface both or replace both.
    2
  4105. Hi! It’s the same procedure for your 2018 Camry with electronic parking brake
    2
  4106. Certain Toyota and Lexus models only
    2
  4107. Hi Tanji, Personally I’d say the OEMs are best. You can get the value ones which are much cheaper and likely comparable with aftermarket. Akebono is a good option as well but usually cost the same as oem value pads
    2
  4108. Hi! Likely not as they have a different setup for parking brake
    2
  4109. Same thing. If you don’t press the brake pedal initially and press the start button twice you will Be in key on position. The car I used in this video didn’t have a key and had push button start as well.
    2
  4110. Hi! It should work
    2
  4111. Hi! This procedure applies for Lexus/Toyota models.
    2
  4112. Hi! Yes this procedure applies to your camry
    2
  4113. It does if you have electronic parking brake
    2
  4114. Hi! Honestly it’s hard to tell how much time is left because that varies by driving style. But on average you should be able to easily make it to the next service and then have them reinspect and see where they’re at
    2
  4115. They’re somewhat new to the market and I haven’t had enough time to get a read on them
    2
  4116. Hi! Eco tires are tires that are designed for fuel mileage and fuel economy. They prioritize low rolling resistance than grip
    2
  4117. If the tires are mounted on wheels and inflated you should be good
    2
  4118. You should be able to yes
    2
  4119. Email with the subject Chicago service request
    2
  4120. Hi! Not to spare tires as they tend to be used very little and you don’t want to go high speeds with the compact spare tire
    2
  4121. Hi! Working on it! Should see one in the next few weeks
    2
  4122. Hi! Depends on your needs. For toyotas you can’t go wrong with Michelin but they are expensive. Continental is also a good brand at a lower cost
    2
  4123. Hi! Honestly I would read reviews and do research. If you liked the old tires I would use the same
    2
  4124. Hi! You can go 18” wheels but the car will be lower to the ground if you don’t go a high tire. Nokian makes very good winter tires but what I see is that it’s hard to find recently made ones in the US
    2
  4125. Honestly Mike it depends. Looking at your old tires is a big factor. If they were worn evenly then chances are your alignment is good.
    2
  4126. Hi! It will work but the handling could change a bit. I would give them a try and see how they perform
    2
  4127. I hear you. I generally don’t like bridge stones
    2
  4128. I think the MO tires are nice. It had brand new bridge stones when I bought it which I disliked a lot. Night and day difference at least for me
    2
  4129. Continentals which are MO tires ( Mercedes original ) Toyota doesn’t have this but some manufacturers actually co develop specific tires for their cars and put their stamp on it
    2
  4130. Hi! They’re ok but there are better options out there. If they’re included with the deal take them
    2
  4131. It depends on the model but on average around 117 for the 4 cylinder and 123 for the v6
    2
  4132. Hi! Every other oil change is good
    2
  4133. This is not new technology. It’s actually been around for a long time. And cars were not as smooth as they are today.
    2
  4134. Hi! That’s a tad bit on the high side for Toyota but possible. At 40 psi the ride will be noticeably harsh and if you have lower profile tires you could risk damage on potholes. If keep it around 35-37 psi cold
    2
  4135. Hi! Depends where the car is stored and the overall climate. I wouldn’t keep them past 7 and replacement at 5 is ideal if possible
    2
  4136. Hi! On tirerack.com enter your car information then select oe tires
    2
  4137. Hi! There’s some truth to both. Somewhat soft tires are better for noise and grip too soft tires like winter tires wear faster
    2
  4138. Hi! Where the tire is made is not a factor. The company that makes the tire is a bigger factor. Hankook makes decent tires. Some of them make certain Camry models handle really terrible on rain and snow for some reason
    2
  4139. Hi! Professional tires repairs have a plug with a cap inside the tire as one unit.
    2
  4140. Not necessary at all. If you don’t have vibration when driving you really don’t have to balance the tires at all.
    2
  4141. Hi! Shouldn’t be a major issue but your gas mileage will differ a bit
    2
  4142. Hi! You should be good using them if they fit don’t rub and the car doesn’t sit lower to the ground
    2
  4143. Hi! Usually the sticker on the door jamb tells you the recommended pressure which is not higher than the max pressure allowed for the tire
    2
  4144. You can but honestly it won’t raise the car height that much
    2
  4145. Ok. I would rotate them if they’re noisy it will slightly reduce the noise level
    2
  4146. Assuming it mounts to the front strut nuts it’s 49 ft lbs
    2
  4147. Hi Jesse! I don’t have access to the system right now. Reply to this comment so I can see it tomorrow during the day and I’ll get you the spec
    2
  4148. Hi! Go to tirerack.com and search for tires by your model and year. Then select in the filters OE tires
    2
  4149. Hi! You should be ok with just the one
    2
  4150. Yes! Please do! You’ll be doing yourself a big favor. Buy a spare tire and throw it in the back for long trips and call it a day
    2
  4151. Hi! Unfortunately I don’t know any dealerships in that area I’m in Chicago
    2
  4152. Hi! I understand your frustration and I too am not a fan of Dunlop tires and toyotas choice to use them as oem. However many things play a factor my best guess would be rolling resistance
    2
  4153. I would get a depth gauge
    2
  4154. Good idea and thank you for your support! I’ll always do my best to help out as much as I can.
    2
  4155. They don’t impact mileage. Low rolling resistance tires improve mileage but at the cost of handing
    2
  4156. Hi! I haven’t really had experience with this product but I would just replace the tires when they get old
    2
  4157. That’s an interesting method. Haven’t seen it before
    2
  4158. Hi! Simplicity and keeping something that works which it does. More on that in the next part of this series
    2
  4159. Hi! They have sealed units that don’t need service
    2
  4160. Hi! You can relocate it but if you check it periodically and make sure no mud gets on it and sticks if you off road you should have no issues
    2
  4161. Yea we’ve seen a few rear ends make noise not chronic and very common but it wouldn’t surprise me. It’s just the pinion setting that’s not perfect
    2
  4162. Hi! Yes you’ll hear some clicking until it engages
    2
  4163. Hi! Into 4H you don’t need to be in neutral
    2
  4164. If they have fittings every oil change. If you see grease being slung around on the body then increase that interval to every other oil change
    2
  4165. I wouldn’t risk it and remove them
    2
  4166. Hi! Tap on the add actuator lightly as you have someone else try to disengage it and see if this does the trick
    2
  4167. Hi! It’s a 10mm hex. Put your hex socket on it and tap it a few times with a hammer and it should come right off
    2
  4168. Hi! It can’t be done easily to the Tacoma as you need to change basically the whole brake system from a vacuum booster to a hydraulic
    2
  4169. Hi! Do you mean the birds eye view?
    2
  4170. Nice! That one and the F430 are one of my favorites!
    2
  4171. Thank you! Convertible or hard top?
    2
  4172. Thank you for watching my channel!
    2
  4173. Planning on more truck videos including the sequoia! Thank you!
    2
  4174. Thank you for watching my channel and for the video suggestion!
    2
  4175. Thank you carlos!
    2
  4176. I like those trans ams!
    2
  4177. Hi! Thank you for watching my channel! Very soon I’ll have an episode in my how Toyota engine control work series with techstream and after this series advances I’ll do a full series on tech stream
    2
  4178. Thank you for watching my channel!
    2
  4179. Thank you for watching my channel!
    2
  4180. Thank you!
    2
  4181. Honestly on that one, it drives as good as it looks and best of all it’s reliable too!
    2
  4182. Thank you!
    2
  4183. Nice!
    2
  4184. Thank you for sharing!
    2
  4185. Nice suv!
    2
  4186. Nice!
    2
  4187. Thank you for watching my channel!
    2
  4188. Thank you!
    2
  4189. FJs are cool!
    2
  4190. Thank you for watching my channel!
    2
  4191. Nice!
    2
  4192. Thank you! It is nice to still have naturally aspirated v8s around
    2
  4193. Thank you for watching my channel!
    2
  4194. Thanks Jose! Will do! So far the 278 is behaving-ish! Did have oil in the harness which is fixed but otherwise extremely reliable! Mainly because I haven’t driven it much in the last 3 months!
    2
  4195. Thank you for watching my channel!
    2
  4196. Thank you!
    2
  4197. Land cruisers are awesome!
    2
  4198. Nice!
    2
  4199. Nice! Thank you for sharing!
    2
  4200. Thank you!
    2
  4201. Now that’s a dream car! They’re very nice and nicer in person and so far they’re actually not bad from a reliability standpoint
    2
  4202. The washer for the fill plug is an aluminum washer that’s a different size than the drain plug. You’ll likely need around 5 quarts to be on the safe side.
    2
  4203. Hi! Congratulations on your RAV4 purchase! I Don’t know of a way to program keys other than the dealership and honestly I would be careful with this one as I’ve seen issues when aftermarket tools are used with Toyota immobilizes
    2
  4204. Thank you!
    2
  4205. Nice! Those are cool!
    2
  4206. Agreed!
    2
  4207. Thank you for watching my channel!
    2
  4208. Thank you!
    2
  4209. Nice! Did you see that video circulating with one that crashed through the showroom floor?
    2
  4210. That was my first choice before the S550 but that’s too much! Nice car!
    2
  4211. Thank you my brother! I really appreciate your support!
    2
  4212. Thank you for watching my channel!
    2
  4213. Thank you for watching my channel!
    2
  4214. Nice!
    2
  4215. You got it! I need to get the tool box organized and some more tools back from work then I’ll do a tour
    2
  4216. Nice one my brother!
    2
  4217. Thank you!
    2
  4218. Thank you for sharing! I thought about the Mr cool but I wanted something that works in sub freezing temps so I went with the mitsubishi
    2
  4219. Thank you for watching my channel!
    2
  4220. Thank you for watching my channel!
    2
  4221. 😂 is he ever gonna sell that?
    2
  4222. Thank you for watching my channel! I put a lot of time in the channel but helping people is always worth it
    2
  4223. Thank you!
    2
  4224. Maybe the 2022 tundra!
    2
  4225. Like the highest mileage car? The red one?
    2
  4226. Thank you for watching my channel! Love the original Z28!
    2
  4227. Hi! If the fluid is replaced on time you don’t need to worry about the filter in Toyota transmissions
    2
  4228. Hi! T100?
    2
  4229. Hi! Yes they no longer offer it
    2
  4230. Hi! Yes they do have a tendency to burn oil
    2
  4231. Hi! That depends on the condition of the fluid. On that model it should be replaced every 30k miles
    2
  4232. Hi! It’s a good model
    2
  4233. Thank you so much for the valuable information! I have 2 weeks off filming time coming up I’ll do some experimenting. I have one window in the garage and considering using a black out curtain so I have full control on lighting.
    2
  4234. Lighting is next on the list! Im upgrading the lighting in the garage soon and also considering retiring the cheapo Amazon studio lights and get something with adjustable color so I can fine tune them. Any recommendations?
    2
  4235. Thank you! I’m trying to learn how to make them look better but not fancy enough to use a green screen! That was actually live not a green screen
    2
  4236. Camry with good service history
    2
  4237. You can over maintain a car without issues.
    2
  4238. Hi! Yes. Google toyota customer experience center
    2
  4239. Hi! I don’t have experience with Kia and Hyundai I exclusively work on Toyota, Lexus and scion products
    2
  4240. Hi! I would change the spark plugs at this point
    2
  4241. Hi! So far they are reliable. There are a few issues when they first came out but they’ve been taken care of
    2
  4242. Hi my brother! Tough question honestly. For the most part they have pretty low mileage but usually are not taken care of. If the price is right maybe but usually they’re almost as new price wise
    2
  4243. If you can find one at that price 12-14 Camry just make sure the torque converter has been fixed. For 5-6 2005-2008 corolla
    2
  4244. Hi! They are very similar generally. Toyota does things similar in the us and outside as well.
    2
  4245. Hi! Yes I would change it
    2
  4246. Hi! It can be if you make sure none of the special operating conditions don’t apply to you. I would play it safe and go with 5k oil changes
    2
  4247. They are generally good. Keep up the maintenance especially the oil changes
    2
  4248. Hi! It’s been fixed. There’s a TSB and warranty extension
    2
  4249. Hi! When I have confirmed information on the tundra I will share it in a dedicated video. Once it comes out I’ll do a full technical tour
    2
  4250. Hi! The 14-16 highlander is good. Skip the 17 and 18-19 is good as well just the 8 speed can be odd shifting
    2
  4251. Hi! I try to stay objective and non biased. But speaking on Kia and Hyundai would he a biased opinion from me. Honestly I don’t have much experience with them to give a valuable opinion.
    2
  4252. I haven’t seen many issues but they’re also too new. It’s a carry over from the previous generations which are doing well
    2
  4253. Hi! I think it’s a good car. Maintenance is key with the newer ones
    2
  4254. Hi! I would get an oil change done! I usually recommend every 6 months
    2
  4255. Erase the codes and see if they come back. Then watch this video for the procedure https://youtu.be/-Y1U8Iw88iA
    2
  4256. Did you do anything with the rear parking brake motors?
    2
  4257. Hi! These are good cars. Keep up the maintenance
    2
  4258. Hi! So far the 2013-2018 avalon and 2015-2017 Camry are really coming close to top place
    2
  4259. Hi! Is this a hybrid 2016 Camry or regular?
    2
  4260. Hi! On most toyotas every 5k miles or 6 months
    2
  4261. Laws may vary but if the maintenance is done right there should be cause for issues with warranty but I would check the laws in your area. Certain areas in the US prohibit warranty companies from denying claims because of maintenance done by the car owner
    2
  4262. Hi! Yes it does
    2
  4263. Hi! I would change it at the current kilometers that you have.
    2
  4264. Not really sure about numbers on outside the US perhaps google Toyota customer service and your country name
    2
  4265. Hi! If you are in the us contact the customer experience center
    2
  4266. Hi! It’s the same procedure for both.
    2
  4267. Hi! Honestly I don’t have experience with Toyota diesels as they are not sold in the US
    2
  4268. Hi! Toyota holds their factories to a high standard. Don’t worry about pandemic built cars. They are as reliable as before
    2
  4269. Toyota CVTs are good. I don’t have experience with honda CVT
    2
  4270. Hi! That should be ok.
    2
  4271. Honestly. The 2021 4runner is a stand out. The other models are very reliable as well but also require more accuracy with maintenance and fluid types
    2
  4272. Hi! Shop around! You can get them aftermarket but also shop online for originals the price difference might not be big
    2
  4273. Hi! These are really good cars if they are taken care of. The timing belt is not that hard to do.
    2
  4274. Both are equally good honestly.
    2
  4275. Electric cars are beautiful in every sense until you need to replace the battery then the truth comes out. They’re a great idea but needs a lot more work to become mainstream
    2
  4276. So far they are reliable as long as they are maintained
    2
  4277. Hi! I would change the oil immediately. Also inquire about other maintenance like coolant replacement. Check the tire dates. If they’re original replace them. Check the brakes, take them apart clean everything and adjust the rear brakes. Battery test and inspect the belt.
    2
  4278. I hear you but still if you can get it done for half the dealership price or less with some warranty it would be good
    2
  4279. Hi! Honestly at this mileage I would shop around for used with a warranty. Try LKQ and compare prices. A new one is great but might be a bit much price wise.
    2
  4280. Hi! Honestly I can’t speak for the new ranger as I don’t have experience with them but the new Tacoma is good. I’d drive both of them and see which one you like best.
    2
  4281. They are better so far
    2
  4282. Technically numbers wise it makes the same power as the V8 but we’ll see how it actually drives when it comes out.
    2
  4283. Hard to say one specific model. 4runners come to mind when top reliability is in the picture
    2
  4284. Likely your alternator is good. If you put load on the alternator it might change its voltage up
    2
  4285. Hi! That voltage at idle is normal. The alternator in your van is a variable one so it will produce less at low rpm. How often do you drive your van and for how long?
    2
  4286. I personally don’t have experience with lifts on a sienna.
    2
  4287. I would say it’s worth it if it’s in good shape. I would check the van against all the issues you’ve seen in this video and a general inspection as well. If it checks out then I’d go for it if you’re happy with the price.
    2
  4288. Hi! It could be the motor itself but you’ll need to verify by taking the door panel off and operating it
    2
  4289. I would check them for oil leaks. If they’re not leaking then you’re good. I just don’t want you buying one that’s already leaking with warranty. The 2017 transmission issues are covered by a special policy which will cover you for a long time. If you’re looking at a 2016 then that’s a Good year to buy if you don’t mind the way the 8 speed shifts then 18-19 is good
    2
  4290. Hi! That water leak is just condensation from the AC which is completely normal and nothing to worry about.
    2
  4291. Very common! Just did one today on a 2013 sienna. Great van though!
    2
  4292. Roman Stetsyuk amen! Thank you. I live in the Chicago area. If you’re ever in town on a Sunday stop by!
    2
  4293. David Jones I’m sorry this is happening. Let’s hope no debris is there.
    2
  4294. Hi! Honestly most products out there promise the world when restoring things but overtime you loose a bit and that’s normal and nothing to worry about
    2
  4295. Inspect the front lower control arm bushings first
    2
  4296. Hi! The pop noise could be a sagging hinge. Film a video of the door opening so I can take a look
    2
  4297. You’d need to ask the dealership for the build date or look on the drivers door jamb sticker for build date
    2
  4298. Many theories as to why but one of them is rust
    2
  4299. Sorry I was asked not to share this specific information as it varies from year to year. Contact your local dealership with your VIN no. And they will share that information.
    2
  4300. People are worried about the 2017 even though there’s a warranty extension covering the transmission from Toyota
    2
  4301. It’s hard to go by months as it’s actually a vin range. If you research for TSBs on that transmission issue you’ll find the vin range and you’ll know exactly which one is affected and which one is not
    2
  4302. It does but handling wise they’re almost similar in my opinion
    2
  4303. I am thinking of the 19-20 rav4 guide however they are too new to really show their common trends yet. So far they have been overall good. Some limited and adventure models has issues with noise and small radio issues but nothing major yet.
    2
  4304. Hi Jonathan! In my opinion the 2006 is the better years to buy in that model sienna. Make sure you check the car well especially for leaks and issues with the sliding doors and ask for service history if everything checks out it’s a very good van to buy as long as you keep up the maintenance.
    2
  4305. Hi! I would inspect the leak and find the source. You’d want to at least know the source to know how serious it is and if it needs immediate attention
    2
  4306. Aquadad that is coming in the next 2-3 weeks on the channel. I would be careful with that van. While they are great vans if you buy one with problems it could end up giving you a bad experience. Don’t rush and make sure you do a good inspection
    2
  4307. Hi! They all do. Not an external one. It has one that is liquid cooled using the engine coolant
    2
  4308. Hi! Most of not all dealerships will service your mobility van without an issue! Just one thing to consider, it will take slightly longer time than normal. Mobility vans are difficult to lift and that causes a slight delay so patience is key. Only things the dealership will not service is anything to do with the modifications, that you’ll need to contact the mobility company that modified the van
    2
  4309. Honestly the 15-16 is the facelift model. Feels a little bit more refined inside. But mechanically they are similar. I would focus on condition of car over mileage with this one.
    2
  4310. Hi! 13-14 is good but I would highly recommend a pre purchase inspection. These are great vans but if you end up buying one that’s neglected it will not be as good. Buy one that’s been taken care of and continue to take care of it and you’ll be another very happy sienna owner. Mileage is not an issue in these vans, how they were taken care of is more important.
    2
  4311. Hi! Oil leaks and front struts are ones you could use your warranty on. Majority of sliding door issues are covered by toyota
    2
  4312. Thank you! The Avalon does have a similar 2GR-FE on the 2005-2012 it’s the same issue with leaks. On 2013-2018 it’s really improved to a point where it’s very rare to see one leaking anything.
    2
  4313. I will share the information that I know about accords. Early ones like 2003-2007ish had transmission issues. I would look up www.carcomplaints.com for problem trends though not 100% accurate and comprehensive but gives you some idea
    2
  4314. Hi! Production date is on the drivers door jamb sticker
    2
  4315. Hi! Nothing official from Toyota but the going theory is rust of the metal gasket and/or putting of the aluminum head. Another also valid theory is that there’s a coolant hole that’s very small very close to the edge of the gasket, it’s possible that the high pressure from the coolant over time erodes the gasket layers and leaks.
    2
  4316. Hi! I would look at local dealerships in your area. You might still be able to find a certified one
    2
  4317. Hi! It shouldn’t be an issue as they are rated for light towing. As soon as you get it replace the transmission fluid and it should be good
    2
  4318. Hi! Depends on your budget and need in a vehicle. Let me know and I’ll be able to help better
    2
  4319. No problem! Come on over. Email for details.
    2
  4320. Yes. I would replace the differential fluid around 30-60k miles
    2
  4321. Stiven Mesa congratulations! Nice van! the manual will call for 10k oil changes or 1 year. If you plan to keep this van for a very long time 10 years or more I highly recommend you change the oil every 5k miles to prevent any chance of issues as miles and years add up. Oil changes are cheap and worth doing it more often.

  4322. I’d use white lithium grease seems to work well for these. Does make a mess. Alternatively you could spray it with WD-40 that works as well
    2
  4323. That’s not bad as long as you’re not waiting too long of time.
    2
  4324. Congratulations! Very quiet launch on my side. Zero issues to report. HV battery is under the front seat the vents for cooling is right next to the front seats with a good paper filter.
    2
  4325. Toyota is likely one of the best companies when it comes to testing. They are generally very reserved and not in a rush. But yes this one kinda came out of left field for them. But what makes them Toyota is how they stand by their product acknowledge their errors by extending the warranty to take care of their customers and give them piece of mind.
    2
  4326. It’s a nice van. I’m a bit concerned about the power level once it has passengers and luggage but the engine and transmission itself is another solid hybrid drivetrain
    2
  4327. Hi! Hybrids have been around in cold weather for a long time. As long as they’re not parked outside for the whole winter every winter they do well in the winter. I wouldn’t worry about cold weather for hybrids.
    2
  4328. These codes are likely history. The coolant around the overflow is typical on these it just means at some point someone overfilled it.
    2
  4329. Hi! They’re both good options. The hybrid is better for gas economy and the 2013 is cheaper of course and has more power from the v6 but it’s also older
    2
  4330. Hi! Personally I like the hybrid minivan. The old one was great but not great on gas at all. The new hybrid is down on power.
    2
  4331. Yes the doors can be used manually but if you turn off that switch. On your Camry it’s likely door lock actuators that went bad which is part of the latch. Very common and not hard to replace
    2
  4332. Ok is the main switch turned on? The one by your left knee when you sit in the drivers seat? Also which year sienna?
    2
  4333. Hey brother, so which buttons stopped working? The one in the overhead console?
    2
  4334. Hi Tim! Oil change history is important also start the engine after it sat overnight and listen for a loud metallic rattle that lasts up to 5 seconds. If you don’t hear it then it shouldn’t have vvti problems
    2
  4335. Yep! That’s usually the fix it all for squeaks! 😂
    2
  4336. Hi! Every 8000 kms is good. No harm in doing it every 5000 kms
    2
  4337. I wouldn’t be nervous. The new sienna has a hybrid system shared with other models. The sliding door is an issue with all minivans so taking care of them from day one is important.
    2
  4338. I would check it out. Accidents that didn’t involve frame damage and most importantly that were fixed right is not an issue. I would however make sure you look at it closely.
    2
  4339. Hi! Everything in this video plus maintenance history. That’s very important
    2
  4340. Hi! They are both good cars just make sure you check the car that you are buying to make sure you are buying a good one. With this video you know their problems and can check them.
    2
  4341. Hi! They don’t have similar issues however if not maintained right they tend to burn oil. So shop for one with good maintenance history
    2
  4342. Loosen it put a rag over it then close the door. Open it slowly and tighten it
    2
  4343. Hi! There’s a guide on the sliding door that can cause the creak. You’d need to relocate it so the squeak would stop
    2
  4344. Hi mike, the idea of this video is to make you aware of what to look for. You buy a van that passes the test and doesn’t have any of these issues you’re doing very good. That’s the idea.
    2
  4345. The transmission likely has nothing to do with it. If it’s shifting good then it’s good. Also just know the transmission does have additional coverage from Toyota if anything happens they’ll take care of it.
    2
  4346. I would test drive them. The crash testing is something else but the low power and weird shifting could be something that doesn’t bother you until you test drive them you wouldn’t know
    2
  4347. Likely not but it would be felt driving it
    2
  4348. Hi! I like the new sienna. A bit low on power but otherwise should be a reliable car.
    2
  4349. Hi! It wouldn’t be emissions compliant
    2
  4350. I would replace it and soon honestly
    2
  4351. Labor will vary but up to 2 hours of labor plus parts
    2
  4352. Unfortunately they are not sold here
    2
  4353. I would take it back and have them correct the level
    2
  4354. So far tires are ok but rumors of the rubber shortage will likely impact them
    2
  4355. It is legal
    2
  4356. Hi! Stay tuned for updates on the shop. Should be up and running in June
    2
  4357. I would ask them if possible to remove the kit and sell it at MSRP. In the meantime I’d look at other dealers
    2
  4358. Hi! I can imagine it’s the Same worldwide
    2
  4359. Hi! Honestly changing the GX is going to be difficult because it’s a very nice suv. But of course the newer one would be possibly better in some areas but it could also be worse in other areas
    2
  4360. Hi! It requires premium. Putting regular could cause issues
    2
  4361. Hi! Maintenance is somewhat simple. Some high level repairs can get a bit complicated but being a reliable truck that is rare
    2
  4362. Hi! Sometimes excess carbon build up and knocking
    2
  4363. Hi! In high salt areas they could have issues. The GX seems better than others but an undercoating is a good idea for the frame
    2
  4364. Hi! They are pretty similar reliability wise.
    2
  4365. Hi! For reliability definitely the GX. The grand Cherokee summit might look nicer and have better features but it doesn’t even come close to how well made and reliable the GX is. So it will depend on what your plans with this purchase are. Longevity with a touch of old school vs. cool features and not as reliable
    2
  4366. Honestly they’re very similar other than off roading with the GX might be tougher for owners because of their price
    2
  4367. Hi! Use 91 for longevity.
    2
  4368. Hi! They are tuned differently.
    2
  4369. Hi! Not through the dealer network
    2
  4370. Hi! It’s similar to the 4runner. A bit smoother and more quiet
    2
  4371. Hi! This one had the ML radio so I assume you can order it black line and ML. If you’re into high quality audio, it doesn’t disappoint it’s a good radio system
    2
  4372. Hi! You’re not missing anything. Honestly this service is usually pushed and unless you do frequent short trips and rarely drive highway, then you don’t need it
    2
  4373. Hi! Honestly it’s hard for me to tell without diagnosis in person. But dealerships can’t just throw an expensive part at a car and hope for the best. Sometimes what complicates diagnosis is when the condition doesn’t happen all the time. They’ll need to keep trying it until it happens so they can diagnose it
    2
  4374. Thanks! Something of your suggested videos are in the works!
    2
  4375. Like a yaw rate sensor replacement guide?
    2
  4376. I’m glad I can help! I think I have a name in mind! I’ll surprise you in one of the videos! Thank you for your comments and suggestions may the lord bless you and keep you.
    2
  4377. What you described is a sign of a bad axle. It will need an on lift diagnosis to see if they vibrate when you accelerate to isolate which one
    2
  4378. Hi! Every other oil change is better. Don’t over do the maf cleaning
    2
  4379. Hi! That is the case outside of a Toyota hybrid. In Toyota hybrids the battery charge cycles and discharge is very optimized where the negatives of Nihm batteries is minimal
    2
  4380. Hi! Drive it until the battery fails then reassess if the car is worth the investment of replacing the battery or sell it and move on to another car
    2
  4381. Hi George. The battery takes less space and weights less. As far as fires I really don’t have much information on how the li-ion will behave in a fire situation.
    2
  4382. It should have nickel metal hydride. The dealership should be able to check it using the VIN
    2
  4383. Hi! Is this a US model?
    2
  4384. Hi! Likely both if the fan is maintained and kept free flowing
    2
  4385. Hi! Like any car they are not flood proof. If they get flooded the on board computer will isolate the battery and won’t allow the car to start to protect from voltage leakage because of the water
    2
  4386. Labor is around 3 hours
    2
  4387. Hi! It can be a good deal but I would carefully inspect it and investigate service history
    2
  4388. Hi! It’s not a simple swap. Likely not worth the high cost
    2
  4389. Hi! That whine noise is normal.
    2
  4390. Hi! I don’t have the information for European models. I would inquire at the dealership you bought it from
    2
  4391. Hi! Your model should have lithium ion. The dealership can verify by running the VIN number
    2
  4392. Hi! Hard to tell an exact time for life but can easily get over 10 years and 200k miles if you don’t let them overheat
    2
  4393. Hi! Not simply and would require a very large expense
    2
  4394. When a hybrid battery completely runs out of charge the car won’t start or ready on and it needs an emergency charge which the dealership can do
    2
  4395. Neither of them is known for exploding that I know of
    2
  4396. Hi! Likely it’s a nickel metal hydride
    2
  4397. Hi! Once or twice a week minimum is good
    2
  4398. Hi! If this is a US model then yes it should be nickel metal
    2
  4399. Hi! It’s not sold in my area. Only the non hybrid
    2
  4400. Hi! Everything is possible but likely doesn’t make financial sense for the benefit
    2
  4401. I just worked on a 2005 Prius Friday with around 120k miles with the original battery. And it’s not the only one. So yes they last 15+ years.
    2
  4402. Hi! Honestly I don’t have any experience with Hyundai hybrids
    2
  4403. Video planned for the future for this subject. But simple things are asking for service records
    2
  4404. Hi! On the 12v battery for hybrids if it’s under the hood it’s a normal 12v battery unlike the ones that sit inside the car in the trunk
    2
  4405. Hi! It’s possible. Different markets will have different options
    2
  4406. Hi lance! Those battery temps are operating temps for the battery. They are on the higher end of the spectrum but still within the range. When you start seeing temps into the 40s consistently I’d look at the fan again.
    2
  4407. Hi! In the US it has lithium ion
    2
  4408. Hi! It’s worth it if you drive a lot or don’t have a lot of highway driving and need something very efficient
    2
  4409. Hi! That’s a common one. Many people have tried many things but it’s a normal characteristic of the truck
    2
  4410. Hi! You can remove the back seat but make sure you don’t cover up the vent which is underneath the back seay
    2
  4411. Hi! Disconnect the 12 v battery but befor that make sure the key opens the trunk
    2
  4412. Hi! If you don’t want to go through this either find a reputable company that rebuilds them or go original
    2
  4413. Hi! It has 2 filters. I’m hoping soon I’ll be able to get you a video on how to service it
    2
  4414. Depends on the market. All the way to around 2016 had nickel metal after that it varied
    2
  4415. Hi! If the car is driven often you’re good. If it sits for a very long time ( 1 month+) then it might be an issue
    2
  4416. And that might be very true. Toyota does have a track record of not rushing new technology without testing and based on that I trust them. But the real world sometimes proves otherwise and I guess we’ll wait and see
    2
  4417. Toyota has been changing things around with the 2021 model. The dealership can change with the vin
    2
  4418. Hi! Thank you for watching my channel! So I think it should be ok. It’s a new car. When you get back take it out for a good drive at least 1/2 hour to recharge the battery and you should be good
    2
  4419. Hi! The traction battery should be ok. The 12v battery likely dead or weak.
    2
  4420. Hi! The heat won’t be an issue. Is this 3 months parking a one time thing or repeating?
    2
  4421. Hi! Check the rear hatch seals is the first thing then the tail light seal
    2
  4422. Likely pricing. Toyota sometimes makes you wonder with their trims and option packages
    2
  4423. Hi! Typically no. The idle will self learn after a few days. On models with auto windows if you leave the battery disconnected for long they will need to be reinitialized which doesn’t require a scan tool
    2
  4424. Hi! If this is a US model it should have nickel metal hydride
    2
  4425. Hi Kenny! I really don’t have an answer on the reasoning behind why they did that because it could be cost or simply the way they wanted to differ the trims.
    2
  4426. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to spray it down
    2
  4427. Hi! Check your battery and erase the codes afterwards
    2
  4428. That works
    2
  4429. Hi! You’ll need to remove the axle because you don’t want to spray anything onto the area where the sensor reada
    2
  4430. Thank you Marjan!
    2
  4431. Hi! That’s normal as it’s in diagnostic mode
    2
  4432. Hi! Did you resistance check the wire? Dielectric grease is a good idea.
    2
  4433. Hi! A small amount is a good idea just not too much
    2
  4434. Hi! Most cars here will show visible surface rust after one winter so it’s very easy to catch them.
    2
  4435. Hi! The ecvt on hybrids is very reliable. A lot more reliable than your standard automatic transmission. And give it a few minutes to warm up in cold weather only
    2
  4436. Hi! There are many products out there to repel them. Mint oil seems to work well
    2
  4437. Hi! They are one wire. On one end they connect to the sensor and on the other end they connect to the harness from the car
    2
  4438. Hi Bob! Likely nitrile
    2
  4439. Hi! The CT200 is ok the early years were not great but from 2014 and up they’re good
    2
  4440. Hi Sara! Typically 0.5-1 hour of labor takes care of it. However since it’s crusty it’s either going to go well or it goes south. When it goes south the bolts holding the rear sway bar bushing break which means they’ll have to drill them out and replace them. Usually there’s no additional charge for that and any mechanic in the rust belt knows how to deal with this. But worst case scenario is 2 hours max of labor if that.
    2
  4441. Hi! It’s a decent car. But the turbo engine long term is a concern. Good service history is a must for these
    2
  4442. Hi! That is a good model to buy. Prices are inflated these days because of the shortage. If you don’t have to buy a car at this time I would wait.
    2
  4443. Hi! Honestly any year that fits your need and budget. As long as they’re taken care of and in good condition they are good
    2
  4444. Hi! They’re good but do have a few common coolant leaks from the radiator and water pump.
    2
  4445. Hi! Yes in most cases.
    2
  4446. Hi! It’s a very good hybrid model. Other than the turbo version the NX is a good model to buy
    2
  4447. Hi! The convertible top compared to similar cars in that segment is very reliable. They did have a few issues with some switches going bad and affecting it’s operation can be a bit expensive labor wise to replace them but not something chronic
    2
  4448. Hi! I would look for an IS350 honestly
    2
  4449. Hi! Some turbo issues on the NX are starting to surface and it’s expected with turbo engines.
    2
  4450. Hi Alain! That RX is good but they’re getting old these days and can have normal older car wear and tear. Common for oil leaks and if maintenance is not done on the transmission fluid they do tend to go out with high mileage.
    2
  4451. Hi! The GS is it’s own platform as it’s RWD based. The Es used to be Camry but now it’s Avalon
    2
  4452. Performance the IS
    2
  4453. The 3GR-FSE is also common for the carbon build up similar to the 4gr. Very few cars including the gs300 had it
    2
  4454. Hi! Email me at thecarcarenut@gmail.com with the subject Chicago service request
    2
  4455. They are good. For long term reliability I would steer away from the turbo model
    2
  4456. Having both port and direct resolves the issues with carbon build up
    2
  4457. It is pretty reliable when no modified. It is basically an upgraded version of the conventional V8 used it many models
    2
  4458. Hi! That BMW is beautiful to drive only. Going from a Lexus to a BMW you’ll initially like it but as the first repair bill roll in you’ll regret the switch unless you buy an extended warranty or you are willing to put up with significantly higher repair/maintenance costs
    2
  4459. Hi! We don’t have the new LX yet.
    2
  4460. Closest is the ES
    2
  4461. Hi! Rx330 and es330 has timing belts any rx or Es 350 has a chain. Some of the hybrid rx had a timing belt and the lx or GX 470 has a chain 570 or 460 has a chain
    2
  4462. Thecarcarenut@gmail.com make sure you use the subject Chicago service request
    2
  4463. Hi! Email me with the subject Chicago service request. I know someone who does good undercoating for frames for a reasonable cost.
    2
  4464. Hi! This will need an inspection to see what’s loose or causing the noise. Nothing chronic on these. Does the noise happen when you turn the wheel or over bumps?
    2
  4465. Hi! The RC is good as well. The engine options are solid
    2
  4466. If you find one in good shape it’s a very good car. Not fast or exiting but built like a tank
    2
  4467. Hi! The LS460 is a lot more reliable than similar models in its segment. However compared to the IS and GS they cost more in maintenance and repairs. Keeping this in mind when buying one will change your ownership experience. If you expect it to be reliable but know that when it does need repairs it will be more expensive and budget for it accordingly.
    2
  4468. Hi! The IS and GS does use premium gas because they do make a little bit more power
    2
  4469. Hi! As long as it’s not excessive rust it’s ok. These are not very known to have rust issues
    2
  4470. Hi! In my opinion the hybrid ones are the most reliable
    2
  4471. Yes the front timing cover needs the engine out of the car to fix it. The power steering is not that hard to replace
    2
  4472. Hi! I would make sure it’s the power steering that’s leaking not a front timing cover. Clean it up and see how long it takes to come back. It’s not a difficult job to replace it if it’s indeed the source of the leak
    2
  4473. Hi! I wouldn’t as the tuning of the engine is different
    2
  4474. Hi! These are good cars if they’re not rusty
    2
  4475. Hi! Still had the direct injection only in 2015
    2
  4476. Hi! Yes
    2
  4477. It’s a good car if it’s been cares for
    2
  4478. Hi! The hybrid version is good in this suv. However if the price is a lot higher than the standard I would get the non hybrid. The gas mileage difference is not that big between them
    2
  4479. Hi! They are very dependable if taken care of and are not rusty
    2
  4480. Hi! The early ones had issues. The later ones are ok but kinda overshadowed by the reputation of the early years. CTs after 2014 are good
    2
  4481. The LS600hl was a strange configuration of hybrid. It’s ok as a car but expensive to own. You’ll finally see a similar hybrid configuration in the new tundra hybrid
    2
  4482. Hi! 4runner is a truck with its body on frame construction and off roading is the main stand out feature. The highlander is more of a family hauler. The 4runner has a slight edge in reliability mainly since it hasn’t been changed in a long time. The highlander is more technological and likely more usable as a family SUV. I would buy either new and take care of it from day one. If budget doesn’t allow new then 2014-2016 highlander is a standout. 4runners from 2010-2021 is basically the same reliability
    2
  4483. I can! It’s actually already on the list
    2
  4484. On the ES350 no issues with 2017
    2
  4485. Hi! Oil leaks from the engine and power steering and general maintenance
    2
  4486. Hi! After 2014 they’re good
    2
  4487. Hi! the LS400 today is getting too old. They do have some issues from age but good examples can be impressively reliable for their age
    2
  4488. Hi! I think the es250 is a bit down on power and can feel labored at times. The AWD Camry will feel a bit better in that department
    2
  4489. Hi! They are generally great engines but with time they’re notorious for leaks especially the valve cover and upper oil pan which can be a bit of a pain to reseal
    2
  4490. Hi! They are good so far.
    2
  4491. Time will tell but so far they don’t have big issues
    2
  4492. Hi! That is a very nice car and if it’s really in good shape and has good service history it is worth it
    2
  4493. Hi! The M20A engine is excellent so far. It’s brother engine has been out since 2018 and been doing good so far.
    2
  4494. Hi! The IS300 does have both direct and port so no issues with it with good maintenance
    2
  4495. Hi! It’s good but the turbo engine is a concern long term
    2
  4496. Hi! Not yet hoping to get one soon
    2
  4497. They seem to be better yes
    2
  4498. Hi! Any ES350 model! From 2007-2021 as long as they are in good condition and have good service history
    2
  4499. Hi! They are good after 2014
    2
  4500. Hoping to get one soon for a full review
    2
  4501. Hi! I would replace the fluid every 60k miles. You are a bit over but that’s ok. I would get it changed
    2
  4502. Hi! It’s reliable with no known chronic issues
    2
  4503. Hi! The older ones are good if you buy a good example. Always get it inspected by your trusted mechanic
    2
  4504. Hi! So far so good.
    2
  4505. Hi! They are good. Getting a bit old and can be hard to find in good condition
    2
  4506. Hi! Hybrids on the Lexus models are excellent
    2
  4507. Hi! If you had the original shield in the front there’s a spot that goes directly to the frame that you can. With the TRD shield it’s harder unless you remove it first then lift directly on the crossmember the largest one that supports the engine and front diff
    2
  4508. They are very similar and yes it would have the same thing with the front differential. Coming up soon is a very nice clean GX460 that I hope to film a video with
    2
  4509. I filmed one that’s coming up here. Not an off roading one but a Manual trans one
    2
  4510. Hi paul! I would stick with the 0w20 honestly.
    2
  4511. Let me look into it. Please reply to this comment so I can find it
    2
  4512. Hi! How many miles and any rodent damage?
    2
  4513. The electric water pump replacement cost is around 2-3 hours of labor which is similar to most mechanical water pumps. The water pump itself is more expensive.
    2
  4514. If the owners manual says 0w16 then that’s what I would go by.
    2
  4515. Yes it’s the same D4S system
    2
  4516. The first model to use it is the 2018 Camry. Then the 2019 Avalon hybrid. Then now the RAV4 in all 3 forms, the highlander hybrid the Venza hybrid the new Sienna hybrid the Corolla higher trims will use a 2.0 variant of this engine. Also the Avalon non hybrid AWD uses this engine. It isn't going to be long before every Toyota uses a variant of this engine.
    2
  4517. Dennis if you don’t have issues by now you’re likely good. It takes a few times of extreme topping off to cause issues. Just from now on as soon as the pump clicks be done and on your way and you’ll never have issues.
    2
  4518. Yes In miles. Coolant first replacement is 100k miles or 5 years then every 5 years or 50k miles afterwards

  4519. Hi! 1- Atkinson cycle on demand. 2- it is activated by changing the timing. 3- the intake side is electronically activated. The passenger side is oil activated. 4- the pump is mechanical but controlled electronically. For more in depth look into this engine see this video where I took one apart. https://youtu.be/vWOtROAma7I
    2
  4520. Hi! There are many oils that are comparable. Toyota oil is best only for toyota engines not other makes
    2
  4521. Good video topic. Added to the list
    2
  4522. You’re welcome Michelle!
    2
  4523. Hi Michelle. What kind of shifting issues? Also the area you set the cruise control is it a hilly area or flat
    2
  4524. They’re not paying me for this video or any other videos. As far as problems go the same was said when the first generation Prius came out. And now hybrids are everywhere. Have a nice day.
    2
  4525. Hi! The v6 is good the 4 cylinder is also good so far. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy this a car with this engine.
    2
  4526. Hi! There’s a fail safe in place in case something goes south to keep things running safely
    2
  4527. Yes it does. The engine in the corolla hatch is the M20 which is exactly the same as this engine just slightly smaller
    2
  4528. That’s not good that the official dealership doesn’t carry the recommended oil because the other is cheaper.
    2
  4529. Interesting.
    2
  4530. Hi John! Thank you for watching my video! Your RAV4 should have this engine. Being an Australian model I would look under the hood. If it looks like it then it’s the same.
    2
  4531. They’re both not bad to replace and don’t require anything special other than bleeding
    2
  4532. It’s a mechanical oil pump that is controlled electronically.
    2
  4533. Yes there is..
    2
  4534. I would treat it for break in as all engines. Avoid constant rpm like constant highway driving and avoid racing the engine the first 500-1000 miles. Also personally I would change the oil the first time at 1000 then every 5000 after that. But I understand most people won’t do that and it wouldn’t make sense unless you’re planning to keep the car long.
    2
  4535. Hi! Thank you for watching my video! So the XSE corolla will have the M20 2.0L variant of this engine which is exactly the same technology.
    2
  4536. Hi! Follow your owners manual recommendation
    2
  4537. Hi! I want to do the technical review for the updated 2GR engine! I have a couple more series planned then I’ll get on that. Thank you for watching and suggesting content!
    2
  4538. This engine has an oil separator. A catch can wouldn’t hurt but the oil separator does the same thing.
    2
  4539. The RAV4 prime has the A25A-FXS which is the same or almost the same as this one with the same technology. All information in this video will apply to the RAV4 prime.
    2
  4540. I agree. Perhaps when they update this engine they might get rid of the thermostat
    2
  4541. Hi! It’s a bit complicated the exact explanation why but because direct injection engines don’t exactly use the throttle as intended. They will actually open the throttle at larger angles to increase the pressure in the intake. That’s why they need a vacuum pump.
    2
  4542. Yes they do. Similar to a standard hybrid model.
    2
  4543. They started with the 2018 Camry the 2019 RAV4 and now most newer models and hybrids has it. Also the 2.0 variant in the 2019 corolla hatchback and 2020 corolla sedan
    2
  4544. They are a series of solenoids that open the close a passage. Each solenoid control one passage. The computer commands the solenoid open or closed
    2
  4545. Try resetting the counter. If it’s very heavy traffic that could be normal.
    2
  4546. You should get a letter. Call your local dealership and give them your vin no and they’ll see if any recalls are open and active
    2
  4547. Recalls is an area where I can’t go into details about for conflict of interest with work. All the information that can be shared is already available in the letter you got by mail.
    2
  4548. Yes
    2
  4549. I wouldn’t use the spray alone. You’d want to extract the carbon after spraying it.
    2
  4550. Not always. With proper maintenance it shouldn’t wear out fast.
    2
  4551. Yes with some tweaks for the FXS variant
    2
  4552. Hybrids don’t have vacuum pumps as they don’t use vacuum for their brakes
    2
  4553. Typo... I mean electric fuel pump.
    2
  4554. This one doesn’t have the integrated exhaust manifold. That would’ve been cool to have.
    2
  4555. Search Toyota dynamic force engine on google and you’ll find references to which car it was used in. Camry v6 engine has some of these features but not all
    2
  4556. Hi! The 2.0 has the same features and it’s basically the same engine with smaller displacement
    2
  4557. The coolant for this engine is in the list and will come In the future. The transmission service on the 8 speed transmission is covered in this video https://youtu.be/eRxSu4-4ojo
    2
  4558. Toyota 0w16 oil is full synthetic and this engine requires synthetic oil.
    2
  4559. Hi! Your Lexus IS300H doesn’t have this engine. It has a variant of the AR series engine.
    2
  4560. Hi! Yes this is the engine in the 2019+ RAV4 hybrid and non hybrid
    2
  4561. Hi! Yes this engine is used in all 2019+ rav4 trims
    2
  4562. Hi Stephane! Hope you’re doing well. Yes the 2.0 variant has the same options
    2
  4563. Hi! Personally I would stick with oem spec plugs
    2
  4564. Hi! I would jump start it. If the battery gives you issues after this stop by the dealership and have check the battery it will either need charging or need replacement
    2
  4565. Hi! The gasoline engine makes around 200hp
    2
  4566. There shouldn’t be a risk making the switch.
    2
  4567. Hi! So the electric water pumps are only running when the car is running so parasitic draw are not likely at all.
    2
  4568. Yes this is the latest one
    2
  4569. Yes this is the engine in the new sienna in the A25A-FXS configuration
    2
  4570. I have not yet had an issue with Aisin timing belt kits if they are indeed original Aisin kits. Be aware of counterfeits
    2
  4571. Hi. It’s slow compared to the corolla sedan
    2
  4572. Hi! Unfortunately we don’t have those in my area
    2
  4573. Hi! The latest 1.8 is a very good combination of a hybrid system
    2
  4574. Hi! Not at the moment as they haven’t had a change yet.
    2
  4575. It could be if you’re ok with the base model rav4 which is more expensive than the base model of the corolla cross
    2
  4576. Hi! You’ll want to head over to parts.Toyota.com then use your vin and search for the word rubber and it should come up. Order it online through the website
    2
  4577. The suspension is soft and smooth for a car in its segment. Comparing it to a Macan is not a fair comparison
    2
  4578. Thank you!
    2
  4579. Hi! If that’s the case Add a bit of coolant to be half way and monitor it
    2
  4580. I think it’s a great combination if you want a manual transmission.
    2
  4581. Hi! Recommended at 1000 miles
    2
  4582. Hi! Your 2013 Camry doesn’t have hydraulic power steering so no fluid to replace. It has electric power steering which needs no maintenance
    2
  4583. I’d need to hear it but from your description it doesn’t sound normal
    2
  4584. Hi! I haven’t seen many with damaged wheels. The highest wheel damage remains the XSE Camry like mine
    2
  4585. Coming up very soon in the next couple of weeks
    2
  4586. Hi! They don’t. Max allowed is 15% ethanol
    2
  4587. In the US we don’t have a hatchback hybrid. The sedan hybrid is 4th gen
    2
  4588. Hi! Cold weather wouldn’t affect oil. Just make sure it’s sealed so moisture wouldn’t find its way in
    2
  4589. Hi! It is still relevant
    2
  4590. It’s the same as the standard sealed transmission procedure. If I get one I’ll do a video
    2
  4591. Hi! You can’t reset them on a hybrid transmission
    2
  4592. The problem trends seem to hold as per the last video. Nothing new to add
    2
  4593. Hybrid for gas mileage
    2
  4594. Hi! Only the SE and XSE has the new cvt with the first gear. Hope they change that soon
    2
  4595. Size. I needed something bigger than the corolla
    2
  4596. Hi! They don’t specifically to the corolla but you can for example get a Camry horn and install it. It will require very basic wire modification to accommodate the 2nd horn but it’s very simple to do
    2
  4597. Likely extra weight from options
    2
  4598. I did a review on the corolla hybrid
    2
  4599. Service is done through toyota exclusively as it’s a toyota badged car
    2
  4600. Hi! I don’t have access to the manuals on cars sold outside the US
    2
  4601. Like newer Toyota’s it doesn’t have a fuel filter only a strainer at the fuel pump which is not a serviceable item.
    2
  4602. If you have this engine I would use 0W16 full synthetic oil.
    2
  4603. Hi! They figured the 2.5 would be too much and the smaller displacement helps with gas mileage.
    2
  4604. Hi! You can but if there’s no contamination a flush is not needed
    2
  4605. Hi! This engine is usually mated to the 8 speed transmission or an eCVT on hybrid models
    2
  4606. I haven’t really looked at the motor where it’s made I’ll look at the next one I get. The engine parts could be made either in Japan or elsewhere. New cars sold in the US will have a sticker showing where the parts for the engine and the transmission come from.
    2
  4607. Hi! That could be normal. It’s normal for cars to run rich when first started cold and if it’s been sitting and it’s very cold out it’s worse.
    2
  4608. Yes
    2
  4609. This engine is equipped with an oil separator.
    2
  4610. No. The V6 retains the same oil controlled variable valve timing on all 4 cams just like before. The 4 cylinder only has it on the intake side.
    2
  4611. The motor replacement is not hard but it does need a procedure done with the scan tool afterwards. Not something very expensive to replace and calibrate labor wise. And other than the calibration you don’t need a lift or anything to replace it. I can see it being DIY with care
    2
  4612. Nice! Congratulations! Keep me updated when it has high mileage
    2
  4613. I see. It could be that they were not. Stick with the 0W16 and an original filter and you should have no issues. I’ve taken one of these engines apart and they’re very well made and can take a beating. The noise you hear on acceleration a lot of people have complained about and it’s odd but that’s how they sound don’t worry. Keep up the maintenance and you should have this car for a long time.
    2
  4614. Yes I want to cover the new v6 as well. I hope in the near future
    2
  4615. Hi! So the camshaft is connected to a gear and that hear is a two piece gear that has the motor connected to one of the pieces so when the motor turns it changes the angle of the gear which then changes the location of the camshaft in relation to the timing chain which is connected also to the gear. The motor itself is very simple to replace but does need to be calibrated afterwards. I have to say this again, as complicated as this system seems replacing that motor is so simple it makes you laugh and admire how well it’s made.
    2
  4616. Thank you for watching my videos. I hear you. Things should improve from now on as new music will be rolling in and better editing.
    2
  4617. It should work
    2
  4618. Yes it is
    2
  4619. That might work. I would have to do some testing and research and let you know what I find.
    2
  4620. Hi! I wouldn’t unless it’s approved for direct injection and carbon build up is not an issue for the D4S
    2
  4621. Hi! All this complexity is well made from a company that has a track record of reliability. Tesla’s drivetrain is well made but the rest of the car leaves a lot to be desired.
    2
  4622. Hi! Cover that opening and avoid spraying directly with high pressure on electrical connectors and you should be good
    2
  4623. Toyota hybrids don’t have a starter motor. They do use the electric motor and the high voltage battery to start the engine.
    2
  4624. Hi! Just drain the radiator and fill.
    2
  4625. Yes you can
    2
  4626. You’ll leave the port open with the car off until coolant comes out then reinstall it and run the engine past 1500 rpm until the fans cycle twice
    2
  4627. Put the car in maintenance mode and press the gas pedal to the floor then once it revs up high back off the throttle just a bit
    2
  4628. That’s the highest point of the cooling system so all air is pushed out
    2
  4629. Hi! Before the car is running and before you fill with coolant
    2
  4630. Hi! The M20A is exactly the same as this one with features just the smaller displacement
    2
  4631. Thank you for watching my video! The Atkinson was the case with hybrids until this engine came out.
    2
  4632. I think it will be reliable. I’ve seen a few production issues with it but as of late it’s been reliable other than the typical oil leaks and the worry of plastic components getting brittle and breaking over time
    2
  4633. Thank you for watching! It has a timing chain and it doesn’t have a replacement interval. If the car is maintained right the chain will last the life of the engine.
    2
  4634. Don’t go higher than 5w30 if you want but personally I would just stick with 0w20 and change it every 5k
    2
  4635. Because the oil pump is electronically controlled and programmed for a specific oil
    2
  4636. At this time no part 3 is planned. Perhaps in the future as I put content together.
    2
  4637. That’s a bit too high of viscosity but different markets have different standards. I would bring it to their attention if they even have 0w16
    2
  4638. Hi! They do have a timing chain
    2
  4639. Hi! If you regularly do short trips and do more city driving than highway then yes
    2
  4640. After changing the coolant you want to do that to bleed the coolant
    2
  4641. Hi! Yes it is
    2
  4642. Hi! It’s possible just need to custom make the wiring for it
    2
  4643. They are normally loud honestly.
    2
  4644. Hi! That’s normal and nothing to worry about.
    2
  4645. Unfortunately they don’t and I haven’t found one that works well
    2
  4646. Hi! I haven’t found one that works well. We’ve tested one bought online and was not impressed by its quality so can’t really recommend it
    2
  4647. It’s not
    2
  4648. Hi! For power steering and brake fluid you can any good quality fluid that’s correct for your application
    2
  4649. Hi! The 4 cylinder is 3500 and the v6 with towing package is 6500
    2
  4650. Smoother on the 4runner
    2
  4651. I would love to see the real Yaris come back especially the GR
    2
  4652. Hi! Every 60k miles
    2
  4653. Hi! The 4runner does have towing hooks in the front and they are attached to the frame. You can use them as needed. Just look under the front bumper and you’ll see them
    2
  4654. You will in a video coming up soon!
    2
  4655. Honestly it was shocking. The rolls Royce had that heaviness or tank feel that new cars usually don’t have that the LS430 was the last LS to have. Of course the rolls was a lot quieter but pretty close on smoothness to the LS but not over bumps
    2
  4656. That is one of the first things we hoped for. But no that is actually what was done to this car in the past
    2
  4657. It depends on the car and setup. It’s likely the compressor is loosing its signal at idle and that’s what I would investigate first. Start by studying how the system works to understand what’s controlling the compressor
    2
  4658. Hi! This is a normal characteristic with toyota trucks. It’s because of the design of the rear end
    2
  4659. Usually the actuator gets stuck and it’s the actuator itself
    2
  4660. They’re not an issue if you move the actuator regularly
    2
  4661. Hi! They all have a high capacity but most of it you can’t drain as the fluid stays in the torque converter
    2
  4662. Hi! Bearings are the first affected. Next would be cv axles
    2
  4663. 0.1 of a quart difference shouldn’t be an issue. It is best to add the correct capacity
    2
  4664. Hi jake. I would look for 2006 and up for best value
    2
  4665. Which year?
    2
  4666. Hi! You’ll need the truck adapters for sure. The extension will depend on the model you have. Measure it and see
    2
  4667. I personally like 5th gens more.
    2
  4668. I would replace the brake fluid if it’s never been replaced. The power steering fluid is the absolute last on the important to do list
    2
  4669. Hi! Yes they do
    2
  4670. Hi! No damage done and nothing to worry about.
    2
  4671. Hi! No if it comes out of 4lo
    2
  4672. Hi! If the paint marks on the chain wore off replace the chain, otherwise reuse it
    2
  4673. 40-45 is about average in the Chicago area for synthetic up to 5 quarts
    2
  4674. Hi! Please write any questions you have as a comment. Everything on social media is very backed up and very hard to keep up with.
    2
  4675. Hi! Will do in the future
    2
  4676. Hi! It’s either a rear main seal or a torque converter seal. Is it transmission fluid leaking or engine oil?
    2
  4677. Hi! When it shuts off does it crank but not start? What does it do? Also does it happen to shut off when you make turns?
    2
  4678. I am not really aware of the methods of how they’re doing it. Toyota is secretive about this kind of issue so I wouldn’t have any information unless it’s made public
    2
  4679. Hi! You can jump start them but try not to keep the dying battery if it’s old and needs replacement
    2
  4680. Hi! The cases of oil consumption in the 2021 Supra usually they almost run out of oil well before you get to the oil change. So if you’re 2-4K miles into the oil change and still between min and max you’re likely good
    2
  4681. Hi! You should be ok to replace it but these have a different procedure with the fluid
    2
  4682. I wouldn’t worry about it then until it does make noise
    2
  4683. Hi! Some dealerships are bad but the steering rack on your rav4 and specifically the inner tie rods are common to get loose. Make sure these are checked by lifting the front wheels off the ground and rock the front wheels side to side. If they’re solid and you don’t hear knocking then they’re full of it. But if you do they’re quoting you the whole rack because Toyota doesn’t sell the inner tie rod separate. In that case I would get either aftermarket or buy the rack oem online cheaper and replace it yourself it’s not hard to do.
    2
  4684. Drain plug bolt won't hold. just keeps spinning and leaks
    2
  4685. Most of the cars come in clean, Since they are stored in doors, they don't get dirty easily. Plus cars that stay here for a long time, we take the time to try to keep them as clean as possible. And lastly cars on camera unless they're filthy it won't show from far away
    2
  4686.  @4605eric  Thank you for your comment. I try to read as much comments as time allows and see what viewers collectively want to see. This particular style video is one of the most requested ones by many. I know it potentially doesn't have the same educational value as other videos on the channel that's why it is being released on an off day from the other videos of the channel. Not replacing a standard Wednesday\Saturday Video. And as for I need to work on cars instead of making this video. I work 12-16 hours a day consistently. I can film one of these videos every day, because what you saw in this video is how the shop looks at the end of every day. And shop delays are the way the automotive repair industry works. It's not by choice, It's how things go with part delays, Complications that push other cars off the planned completion time. If you've worked in an automotive shop you would know exactly how things go. Here's one actual example of many. You anticipate this job will take 3 hours, give yourself a little bit of room for small delays ( like phone calls to other customers, helping a fellow tech and doing an extra quality check), you promise the customer the car back in 4 hours then a speciality bolt breaks from rust, 1 hour additional to drill it then 2-3 days to get a similar bolt ordered, you try to find another bolt elsewhere, well it's a special bolt that no one carries, What do you DO? Zip tie the car back together and pretend like nothing happens? NO!. So now your 4 hours promise time turns into 3 days, car is parked in the back of the shop because it's a non runner anymore until you finish it and now 3 days from now you have to stop the flow of the shop and push all the cars schedule\delivery time back to finish the car that is way past due because of the complication and the specialty bolt that no one has showed up. This is called the automotive shop pile up ( The reason every auto shop owner run on 150% stress all the time myself included), It happens to every single automotive shop out there and while we do everything in our power to avoid the pile up, but the main objective is to fix the car and fix it right and THAT is not being lazy or prioritizing a video over fixing people's cars. Your view on me purposefully delaying cars because I don't feel like working, wanting to film a video or needing to stay beyond 16 hours of work a day just to make sure cars are completed only to have the car sit here for another 2 weeks until it's picked up (Because that's what we agreed on with the owner) is quite frankly hurtful and offending. We actually take pride in getting cars done in a timely fashion. All the cars you see in this video are either projects that are dropped off for an extended period of time, or delayed for reasons beyond our control. And actually many of the cars you saw are completed cars waiting to be picked up and unless you work with us in the shop, You don't know the number of cars that came in, got taken care of and left the same day( Average of 5-10). All the owners of any car in the shop is notified and updated regularly on the progress of their car not in the form of a video, in a form of a direct communication. And on shooting and editing a video takes a long time, It actually doesn't and that is the easy part. The CONTENT is the hard part and the most important part. Making sure it's presented in a consistent manner and most importantly it carries the educational value that is consistent with what I've done since day one. Merry Christmas, Happy new year and may the Lord bless you and keep you.

  4687. Pressure test with coolant valve open. I don't have anything specific that's chronic but we've seen a few slow coolant leaks through the water pump connector. Not as common and usually were the early 2018s. hard to find without taking the time.
    2
  4688. it's not common at normal mileage. Seen a few cases with over 300k miles and bad maintenance. This however doesn't mean it's impossible. but it's not something common or chronic.
    2
  4689. They area truly good cars! Video coming up very soon on these
    2
  4690. It's not a shop. A good friend does undercoating on the side. If you're in this area, call the shop and we'll share their contact info.
    2
  4691. The spark plugs are a bit more involved than the regular 2GR with the EGR in the way but not too bad.
    2
  4692. Hi! Dealership do tire swaps all the time. Usually cost the same as tire replacement
    2
  4693. Hi! Thank you for watching my videos Dominic! So on the transmission it will adapt to a medium between the two drivers.
    2
  4694. Hi! I don’t have a specific 4Runner video but it’s the same process. Here’s a link to my sealed transmission fluid replacement video https://youtu.be/eRxSu4-4ojo
    2
  4695. Flagmichael that’s a classic scenario and a notorious one on that sienna.
    2
  4696. Hi! That is actually normal for this car. The idle up does many things the most important is to circulate the oil better and also warm up the engine faster.
    2
  4697. I would honestly look at fuel pressure and do a compression test to see the general health of the engine. If there are no trouble codes you could have something mechanical causing the issue
    2
  4698. Interesting. This one will need some diagnosis before anything is repaired or replaced as it could be many things
    2
  4699. Hi! Hard to tell without diagnosis but how’s the spark plugs and the rest of the maintenance?
    2
  4700. Hi! It’s not directly related. Well engineered engines will have good power and dependability. Toyota is on the conservative side that is correct. However other manufacturers take an engine and push it to the edge just to make better numbers to sell their cars. While others make respectable numbers without compromising reliability.
    2
  4701. Hi! I have a video on the 2013-2018 and the 2019+ new generation video is completed I just have to film it which is as soon as the weather improves
    2
  4702. Maybe... 🤫
    2
  4703. It’s likely a manufacturing issue. Not something common that I would worry about happening again.
    2
  4704. As flagmichael mentioned that single rattle is just the motion of the engine starting and rattling the planetary gear set. I would have the dealership keep it for a night if it’s extended. It should be something barely heard on your newer highlander hybrid.
    2
  4705. Hi! It could be an issue with the tires. When you brake you shift the weight of the car to the front. First check the tire pressure and make sure it’s around 34-36 psi if it’s good then rotate the tires back and see if it makes a difference.
    2
  4706. Hi! In most models especially the newer ones yes there are 2. The inverter pump is powered by the hybrid control ecu. And the engine water pump is power by the engine ecu
    2
  4707. Toyota hybrids work the same so this does apply to your Avalon hybrid
    2
  4708. There’s no exact figure but around 1500 watt is what seems to be safe
    2
  4709. Hi! Do you mean how much power you can draw from it?
    2
  4710. So some models are lithium ion some are nickel metal. In the US the 2021 corolla is lithium ion. I don’t have access to my system at the moment to get the exact spec for the kw
    2
  4711. This will vary by model as they don’t all have the same battery.
    2
  4712. Hi! I wouldn’t swap different years as there were differences between years in the same generation
    2
  4713. The inverter can be repaired to a certain degree
    2
  4714. I am not familiar with your model hybrid as it’s not sold in the us. Email me a picture of your back seat so I can see which design you have an give you an idea
    2
  4715. There’s a far difference between the 3rd and 4th gen prius as they are 2 different generations of hybrid drive. The 4th gen drives very nice compared to the 3rd gen. The 2019+ RAV4 hybrid has the latest generation hybrid system which is similar to the 4th gen prius
    2
  4716. Hi! Yes but avoid direct water at the orange wires and electrical connectors and try to dry them off with compressed air
    2
  4717. Absolutely! It is on the list and will come in the near future
    2
  4718. Hi! As long as it didn’t sit outside exposed and the intake looks clean it’s not a bad idea
    2
  4719. Hi! It will make a slight parasitic draw. Shouldn’t be an issue if this is daily driven but if sits for over a week it could drain the battery
    2
  4720. It could have to do with the inverter however that’s not the way I’d approach this. You’d want to get codes and see what’s going on.
    2
  4721. Hi! That’s hard to predict. If the car was driven short distances but regularly it should be good. But if it was stored for long periods of time then it could be an issue.
    2
  4722. Cars not too long ago used to be like the old pilot burner belt drive! Now they’ve evolved into spaceships too. I only wonder how real spaceships are made
    2
  4723. A series on how plug in hybrids work is planned and in the early stages but will come in the future
    2
  4724. Look at the front sway bar through the wheel well. And refer to the picture in the video to know how each looks like
    2
  4725. They’re rare to have issues on 4runners. I think I’ve seen one only with a small leak.
    2
  4726. Hi! The designations varied through the years. Basically the SR5 is closer to the base model and the TRD off road is a high trim and the TRD Pro is a special edition and the limited is the highest
    2
  4727. Hi! They’re overall reliable. Rust can be an issue if it’s severe. Worst case scenario is leaks
    2
  4728. Honestly if you don’t have issues with the leak present I would keep going. When an issue does arise then either fix it or switch to non xreas
    2
  4729. Hi! So far I haven’t seen a single issue with the TRD pro suspension
    2
  4730. Hi! Typically I recommend every 60k or 6 years however in your case if the transmission was never done I would leave it alone
    2
  4731. Hi! Yes it will fit.
    2
  4732. Hi! I haven’t seen any break like the sienna
    2
  4733. Hi! You can head over to parts.Toyota.com and enter your vin number and you find all your maintenance part numbers. The manual doesn’t list them because part numbers change as parts sometimes get improved
    2
  4734. On KDSS many trims as an option. The xreas comes on limited only.
    2
  4735. Hi! This is a common one. Reset the transmission memory. You’ll need a Toyota scan tool to do that.
    2
  4736. Hi! The XREAS system was offered in the 5th generation in the limited trim and later in the nightshade edition so your SR5 doesn’t have it
    2
  4737. I personally would switch it to non xreas original
    2
  4738. I actually have experience with ABC and can tell you that this one is not the same. Both on price and reliability.
    2
  4739. Limited and nightshade are the trims that have it
    2
  4740. They are really trouble free so far
    2
  4741. The TRD pro has fox shocks. So far very reliable without any issues
    2
  4742. It took over 2 hours of driving/running to fell the smell.
    2
  4743. Hi! Unfortunately you have no choice in this case but to shut it on and off. A hybrid might work since they have their engine off more than usual
    2
  4744. I think the land cruiser could’ve been more successful if they brought more base models. But then it would’ve killed the sequoia. The Avalon lost its identity after 2013 and kinda of had its own identity crisis which killed sales
    2
  4745. Hi! Check for rodent damage under the hood.
    2
  4746. Happy thanksgiving!
    2
  4747. Hi! It’s the same build quality
    2
  4748. Hi! The early indication and what’s I’m hearing about the LC300 is that it’s business as usual so I think you’ll see the same theme in the new LX
    2
  4749. Hi Again! Working on the designs sorry for the delay. It will take a few days to get them live on the channel's store but here's a direct link https://my-store-a09ac8.creator-spring.com/listing/large-logo-collection. Thank you for supporting the channel. And please contact me by Email at thecarcarenut@gmail.com with the Subject (Christmas Gift) and I'll arrange a special surprise for your Dad for Christmas in addition to the T-Shirt.
    2
  4750. Hi! I’ll look into the store shirts and get it back up soon! I’ll update you as we pass the holiday and I can contact the supplier. In the meantime happy thanksgiving and we’ll be in Touch
    2
  4751. It does
    2
  4752. You’re welcome Stephen!
    2
  4753. I still remember the old land cruisers with manual windows everywhere!
    2
  4754. Hi! I wouldn’t be concerned about the bearing. Things happen but I wouldn’t expect to replace it again after 32k miles this is likely a one time deal
    2
  4755. Hi! It’s exactly the same and built the same as well
    2
  4756. That’s the million dollar question. They used to at some point but the market changed and they changed with it and it was a mistake
    2
  4757. Hi! On a few as they rarely show up at the dealership. Mostly 80 100 and 200s
    2
  4758. I would keep. Very hard to find these in good condition and people are starting to hold on to the good ones
    2
  4759. Hi! It’s possible that it’s the electronic parking brake engaging? Do this, with the car running and in park, put your foot on the brake pedal and hold it then disengage and engage the parking brake. If you hear the same sound then that’s it which is normal and nothing to worry about.
    2
  4760. Hi! The timing chains typically last the life of the engine. There’s definitely been an increase in tensioner issues causing a rattle here and there but not on everything
    2
  4761. Hi! Should be one number for these. Did you use your vin number?
    2
  4762. Hi! 0w20 full synthetic. I personally like Toyota branded oil
    2
  4763. Hi! You didn’t make a mistake with the 1st gen sequoia. Especially since the frames been replaced. Now I would get the frame coated to protect it and take care of it. These things last but some repairs can be expensive but it’s well worth it as the engine and transmission themselves with good maintenance can last a very long time
    2
  4764. Hi! If the price is high it’s not good. I don’t see negotiating a cars price as a hassle. You can find a cars value online or comparing to MSRP to know what’s a fair value
    2
  4765. Hi! I would under coat the frame
    2
  4766. Regular maintenance shouldn’t be an issue. Any warranty work or recalls have to be Lexus only.
    2
  4767. Hi! Any chance you can record the sound so I can hear it?
    2
  4768. Toyota cam seals typically come pre lubricated on the inside. The outside a very small film of oil helps a lot to install them without damage so yes I would use a small amount of engine oil on the outside to install.
    2
  4769. Hi! I wouldn’t replace it honestly. They last the life of the car in most cases
    2
  4770. It’s hard to negotiate these days. If you’re not in a rush to buy I would wait a bit or take your time to find a deal. Currently paying MSRP is the most you should pay.
    2
  4771. Toyota doesn’t exactly accommodate custom orders. You can order a car within the available options and packages but not remove specific options and add single options aside from the packages
    2
  4772. Hi! Honestly shopping around and comparing apples to apples is the one way.
    2
  4773. Honestly they are 2 different entities. And even within the department there’s good people trying to do the right thing and those who aren’t good. Best thing is relations and face to face interaction with mechanics to know how they are.
    2
  4774. I would honestly ask. I don’t have that information
    2
  4775. You can ask the shop to use original parts.
    2
  4776. Email me with the subject Chicago service request
    2
  4777. Hi! Honestly I wouldn’t. The paint might not look pretty but it won’t affect the way the car drives
    2
  4778. Hi! You’ll want to test the water pump first
    2
  4779. Hi! If something major happens like engine needs replacement or transmission needs replacement at high age. Or in my area if rust rots the body otherwise if you’re not tired of looking at the same car for 20 years keep going
    2
  4780. Hi! They can go as high as 220
    2
  4781. Hi! I haven’t seen them leaking or having issues in your generation Prius. Older generation some of them leaked externally but it was not very common. Top off the coolant and keep an eye on it.
    2
  4782. Hi! Please leave your question as a comment. If you don’t hear back from me in 24 hours post it again. I try my best to keep up with comments but sometimes I get as much as 1000 in a day so it’s hard.
    2
  4783. I think that’s a good interval.
    2
  4784. Hi John! The channels name is Mrs. Car Care Nut she hasn’t posted her video yet so it would be hard to find or share a link
    2
  4785. Hi! It’s made by snap on through their blue point brand
    2
  4786. Hi! Try to bleed the abs actuator
    2
  4787. Awesome! I’m glad I could help! Hope that 2007 Camry lasts for a long time without any issues!
    2
  4788. Jofuze I hear ya. I think having a bimmer as a toy car is probably the best idea. Congrats on the highlander man! Sweet suv!
    2
  4789. Thanks for participating my brother! And more importantly thank you for your service to our country! That’s a nice first car! BMWs and head gaskets usually don’t get along too well among other things that are chronic with them 😂 very nice driving cars though
    2
  4790. Wow that’s nice! I should consider a camper for the family
    2
  4791. I love $500 cars that run and drive! I mean it’s a whole car for what it cost to put tires!
    2
  4792. Nice! Man am I the only one with a terrible first car? Who am I kidding it was awesome! Even though it broke all the time it was still awesome!
    2
  4793. Amedeo Bafadl thank you! That’s a nice car 4 cylinder or v6?
    2
  4794. Paul Gonzalez thank you Paul! It’s no fun if your first car starts all the time 😂
    2
  4795. I miss manual transmissions it seem like the dying breed! Thank you
    2
  4796. Too bad it got damaged! That’s a nice truck. You don’t see a lot of clean ones anymore
    2
  4797. That’s cool! Father and son project!
    2
  4798. Still a nice car! I would’ve taken the online 6 over my first car’s 1.8L
    2
  4799. That’s a nice car!
    2
  4800. David P now that’s what I call a first car! It barely rolls but it was our ticket to freedom! Awesome man!
    2
  4801. Nice!
    2
  4802. Hi! Depends on the model 3-5 hours
    2
  4803. Thank you Nick! Was overdue!
    2
  4804. Hi! I don’t have one for that engine yet but will have one in the future as I get one to film
    2
  4805. Hi! Torque specs can be found on techinfo.Toyota.com and both the thermostat and water pump use a gasket so no sealer or adhesive needed
    2
  4806. Much easier. You don’t lift the engine and you have a lot more room
    2
  4807. Hi! Honestly I wouldn’t unless you’re diy and doing it yourself then it might make sense
    2
  4808. Hi! It’s around 175k miles
    2
  4809. Hi! It uses sealer or RtV
    2
  4810. The V6 is always fun transversely mounted. Let’s say this. The water pump on the Toyota Matrix is a 20 minute job.
    2
  4811. The box comes off it has a lid on the top then you’ll see two tabs to squeeze on the actual line itself. Likely the hose will leak the same way but not burst or rupture. If you keep an eye on the coolant you should be ok for some time
    2
  4812. Yes
    2
  4813. Hi! On average 3-5 hours depending on the model. I doubt there’s a single dealership that would charge engine removal time for this job anymore
    2
  4814. Hi! Around 2 years ago
    2
  4815. Hi! On the settings menu on the gauge there’s a setting for calendar. Set the calendar there
    2
  4816. There’s a few variants of this pump. Head over to parts.Toyota.com and use your vin
    2
  4817. Hi! I wouldn’t replace it if it’s not leaking or making noise honestly. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it
    2
  4818. Hi! The timing chain on toyota engines can last the life of the engine with good maintenance
    2
  4819. The 2AR-FE doesn’t have a block drain if memory serves right
    2
  4820. Hi! Somewhat similar but a bit tighter on these
    2
  4821. Hi! If memory serves right sometime around 2 years ago
    2
  4822. Much easier on that engine as you have more space. Similar concept minus lifting the engine
    2
  4823. Hi! I would pull the radiator out and then you’ll be able to get the compressor out very easily
    2
  4824. 😂 6- $1000 later it’s done! Your Camry ( if you still have it) is one of the tightest ones to do this on
    2
  4825. Hi! Yes it does apply
    2
  4826. Hi Andy. There’s no replacement interval for the water pump. If it’s not leaking or making noise don’t replace it
    2
  4827. Hi! I would at least get it inspected. Wouldn’t be a bad idea to replace it if the car doesn’t need anything else
    2
  4828. Thank you Paul for watching my videos!
    2
  4829. Agreed. I do it on the on ramp by the time you get to the speed limit you’re all set.
    2
  4830. Hi Labeeb. Your Prius C doesn't have a drive belt. The water pump is electric so is the compressor. Hybrids don't have an alternator so that's one less maintenance item you gotta worry about. For the 12V battery on hybrids typically they're so small they rarely make it to 5 years unless the car is regularly driven. They do have less load than a conventional gasoline car however they are very small and often don't last much past 5 years. If yours is still good I would test it first and go from there.
    2
  4831. Amedeo Bafadl yes! I would start with cleaning the throttle body and the MAF. More the throttle body. Clean it very well and if your idle goes very high afterwards that’s normal give it a few days of driving and it will settle
    2
  4832. Yes I can! Coming up in the near future
    2
  4833. Hi Spencer, Thank you for watching my channel! So on fuel economy I would look at what triggered the change. Was it a specific service perhaps tire change or brakes? Also when did the problem start?
    2
  4834. The MAF sensor cleaning is not something I would do regularly. Also the in tank fuel filter is a strainer not a filter and doesn’t have a service interval. For most Toyota’s the fuel pump and strainer last the life of the car.
    2
  4835. Hi! That should be good. If in doubt get them cleaned
    2
  4836. Hi! Picture is for direct injection only. The port and D4s are much much less likely to develop anything like that
    2
  4837. Good catch thanks!
    2
  4838. Honestly if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. If you have no issues with the brakes then I wouldn’t worry about them.
    2
  4839. 😂
    2
  4840. Water pump would likely not cause a vibration in the body of the car. I would check bearings and tire/wheel
    2
  4841. Hi! The car is designed to protect against that scenario. You’re good and have nothing to worry about
    2
  4842. You wouldn’t have to worry about that in your Prius. Fuel doesn’t really freeze unless it has high moisture content and at that point you’d have other running issues beside freezing. Thank you for the video suggestion. Depending on which model Prius most of them are normal except the rear brakes. You’d want to be careful not to have the car running when pushing the piston or having the caliper off.
    2
  4843. Also personally I don’t like additives. They can either work or not work they can’t cause harm though.
    2
  4844. Hi! Valvematic engines will rely on the throttle less but I would still clean it for the times that it does need it
    2
  4845. Hi! Typically every 5 years or 50k is when they start getting dirty
    2
  4846. You can clean it at this time
    2
  4847. They are compatible and some Prius models did come with alloys. Others also came with an aluminum wheel with a cap on it
    2
  4848. Hi brother! So occasionally is ok as needed but daily high reviving and hard driving can cause wear on the long term.
    2
  4849. Hi! I haven’t seen issues with rotating the ties front to back only not directional. Keep an eye on the tires that you have. If you have directional tires you can’t do the modified x pattern
    2
  4850. Hi! It varies by model. I would go to tirerack.com enter your truck information then look up tires. Then go to filters and select oem tires and you’ll see the original model tires that they came with
    2
  4851. You don’t need to unplug the battery just make sure the car is off and use the correct cleaner and gently open the throttle plate and you should have no issues
    2
  4852. Yes
    2
  4853. Hi! If you change behind the cat you shouldn’t have issues
    2
  4854. I would use carb cleaner and put the plate open slowly and clean around the area where the plate meets the throttle body. A video on how to clean it is in the plans but not out yet
    2
  4855. If you’re driving mostly highway and using top tier fuel I wouldn’t worry too much about cleaning them. It wouldn’t hurt and it would benefit slightly but not something worth the cost of the service. Only thing I would do is clean the throttle body and call it a day
    2
  4856. Joe Kim interesting! We used BG in our shop before the “Toyota” one I thought it was good. Don’t you love how “magically” you got someone else’s comeback! Dealership life is the same everywhere!
    2
  4857. Hi! If it’s not broken don’t fix it I’d say. If you ever have an issue then take care of it
    2
  4858. Coming in the near future
    2
  4859. Hi! Thank you for much for watching my channel! Other than a once over on the truck I wouldn’t do much else. Make sure tires and brakes are good and all maintenance is up to date and enjoy your trip!
    2
  4860. Hi! Fluids are typically checked and topped off as needed every service
    2
  4861. I’d say 20 minutes should do it
    2
  4862. Hi! Thank you for watching my videos! I’d go the speed limit
    2
  4863. Hi! I would buy the original wipers again once then when it needs replace only the inserts. You can buy them from your local dealership
    2
  4864. Hi John! When dealerships try to sell a belt that’s “glazed” they refer to the back side of the belt. Every belt on the back will have a slight shiny look to it because that’s also a driving surface on the idlers and it’s normal for it to have a slight shiny look
    2
  4865. Hi Susan! All weather tires are relatively new and I haven’t seen many folks go through a whole life cycle to get accurate feedback on it yet
    2
  4866. Yes I do! I’m going through a series right now on maintenance which will include the hybrid transmission fluid and rear differential as well.
    2
  4867. Hi! You don’t have to if the pulley has no noise and the belt doesn’t make noise
    2
  4868. I personally don’t like it as I see other products less intrusive but it does work
    2
  4869. Hi! Alignments are typically recommended when replacing tires to make sure you won’t wear the new tires abnormally however it’s optional and if your old tires wore down evenly chances are your alignment is good.
    2
  4870. Hi! It’s mostly the same just the rear brakes need a procedure to back up the parking brake which I have a video for already
    2
  4871. Ok I see. A hood injector cleaning solution could Be beneficial
    2
  4872. Hi! I would verify if they’re leaking and if they are replace the boots if the axle otherwise is healthy
    2
  4873. Hi! Cleaning the oxygen sensor is not something I recommend actually
    2
  4874. This can be normal. Driving it in eco mode will not hurt anything. Try driving and let the car coast for a long time and also brake early and let the car coast while you’re applying the brakes lightly that will help charge the battery faster
    2
  4875. Although hybrids are a bit different as at times when you “start” it the engine won’t run but usually when cold they’ll come on shortly after you ready on. I always advice that you give your car a few moments to start to circulate oil and get everything going. If you’re going to be driving in the city initially then you’re good but if you’re very close to highway speeds where you’ll be cruising at consistent rpm I would give a few more moments to warm up. More in the winter as it takes a bit longer.
    2
  4876. I do it with the key off and using your finger to push it open gently and you’re good
    2
  4877. Hi! I wouldn’t remove it off the car. Clean it in place and no resets are needed. The idle will be higher for a few days then it’ll settle on its own
    2
  4878. Hi! That is correct on tire age. Around 5 years is typically the starting point of dry rotting. By 7 years it’s obvious and I wouldn’t keep a tire past 10 years
    2
  4879. Hi! On most models every 90k miles. Older models before 2000 they were every 60k miles
    2
  4880. Hi! I will have a video on break in soon. I would check your tire pressures and research best driving habits to improve mpg for hybrids.
    2
  4881. Hi! If it only happens when it has rained and not every start up honestly I wouldn’t worry. Likely some of water got splashed around on the belt and that’s why it makes the noise
    2
  4882. Hi! 91 fuel doesn’t really do much in a car designed for 87. I wouldn’t worry about it
    2
  4883. Hi! I believe the basic radio prime does still have the menu not the big screen. Also checking the battery voltage is not an indication of its health. A load test is best to determine it’s true health
    2
  4884. Hey brother. I would just ask them to clean the throttle body. The induction service could include a throttle body cleaning but I would ask to verify.
    2
  4885. You could top them off but don’t overfill
    2
  4886. Hi! I’ll look into it.
    2
  4887. I would have to look parts but labor is probably around 6-8 hours
    2
  4888. In a highway setting you can sustain a long acceleration safely while in the city you might not have the space to do so. That’s the idea
    2
  4889. If you’re checking the fluid level in between then yes you have to. If you’re just running the car to circulate the fluid then no. But the final time you need to install it to check the level
    2
  4890. Hi! Yes so you will put the car in park and the D light will still come on even when you’re in park. And you will pull the jumper cables as soon as the d light goes into the fluid temp mode then check the fluid level
    2
  4891. Honestly if the car is well maintained I wouldn’t use high mileage oil. Just stick with the same oil that you trust
    2
  4892. Hi! You can clean the throttle body in the car. Just don’t spray too much or better spray on a shop rag and clean it. No relearn is needed afterwards. The idle will be higher than normal for a few days and then will settle
    2
  4893. Hi! If you do the services earlier and right it won’t affect your warranty
    2
  4894. Stephen Jones Thank you Stephen! I really appreciate it!
    2
  4895. Hi! It’s a standard quick disconnect fitting.
    2
  4896. Hi! Honestly I wouldn’t replace it. It’s not worth the labor.
    2
  4897. It was very clear in the video. I wouldn’t waste time or money. Get the car back and enjoy your drive without worries.
    2
  4898. Could’ve been. They do that and that’s normal
    2
  4899. Just reply here with the link
    2
  4900. The tire rotations are required every 5000 miles
    2
  4901. Hi! Honestly for $80 it’s worth it for the rotations alone. Balancing if it’s free it wouldn’t hurt to check it every couple of years
    2
  4902. Hi! Video on the throttle body is planned and coming in the future and there’s no relearn on toyotas
    2
  4903. On a normal gasoline car that’s typically when it gets dirty and needs cleaning. However on your prime it might need longer time to require servicing.
    2
  4904. Honestly no they don’t. Any power steering fluid from a parts store that includes toyota in the compatibility list is good
    2
  4905. Hi! You can use that but I would use power steering fluid
    2
  4906. Yes I’d say it’s a good car
    2
  4907. Hi! They are good cars if taken care of
    2
  4908. Hi Thomas while I am not familiar with the Yaris hybrid as it’s not sold in my market but I’m sure it’s similar to other hybrid models. I don’t see a problem buying one that’s 1.5 years old with low mileage. Especially if the price difference is worth it. The filter likely will be underneath the back seat
    2
  4909. Hi! Video coming out tomorrow for servicing the filters on your highlander hybrid.
    2
  4910. Congratulations Rich! Sweet suv you got there!
    2
  4911. Hi Frank! If she doesn’t drive highway that’s not an issue however if this car will be parked and not used for a 2-3 weeks at a time frequently I would get a gas model. But if it’s used weekly for short distances that’s not an issue
    2
  4912. Glad I could help sir. Here’s a video I made on that engine and why it’s loud https://youtu.be/9GWKBbEMCC4
    2
  4913. Hi! I would check the filter initially every 3 months and adjust the timing depending on how it looks after 3 months. I don’t really have experience with honda hybrids
    2
  4914. Hi john! I think the AWD prius will be a reliable one. Although it uses a different rear motor setup but it’s just a smaller version of a very robust and reliable one from other Awd models so I have no doubt it will be a solid reliable option.
    2
  4915. I apologize but I really have no experience with honda hybrids.
    2
  4916. Hi! I have a video to cover some of the common issues with that model Camry. Find it here https://youtu.be/ksSCItmo5co
    2
  4917. If you take care of the hybrid it will likely last a very long time as well.
    2
  4918. Hi! It does negatively affect it but not destroy it. If this car was normally driven but due to the pandemic it’s not then it’s back again it should be ok
    2
  4919. I think the corolla hybrid is an awesome car! I think it's basically a Prius without the Prius aerodynamic shape that somehow still gets very impressive gas mileage. And with the technology is comes standard with it's a really good buy if the size of the car is suitable for your needs. Otherwise a 2015-2017 Camry Hybrid is a solid choice as well as long as it's been well maintained.
    2
  4920. Hi! If it’s driven regularly but not a lot it’s good. But if it’s stores for 6 months out of the year then there will be some long term effects
    2
  4921. Hi brother! Depends on the model. The only hybrids currently that has both are the ones with the new 2.5l A25A engine
    2
  4922. I don’t have that exact model in my area but it’s either going to be by the side of the rear seat or underneath the passenger rear seat
    2
  4923. Honestly I wouldn’t consider the Prius for that purpose. Perhaps look at a RAV4 hybrid instead.
    2
  4924. Thank you! I think that gs is a very nice car! A bit more complicated to work on but they’re reliable if taken care of. The fan vents are on either side of the back seat so a total of 2 vents. Looks like your car also didn’t make the cut for the filters they started on 2015. I’d talk with your Lexus dealership if they have a clip on filter.
    2
  4925. You can clean the fan then add a filter. Also make sure in hot days to use the car's air conditioning as that is the air that the fan will use to cool the battery.
    2
  4926. In case of a collision most batteries sit in a strategic reenforced area of the car so they are safe. Also in case of a flood the second the computer senses voltage bleed it will shut down and isolate the battery from the outside.
    2
  4927. That is a mystery that we’re still trying to figure out. There’s so far no exact reason why the 2010-2011 model year Prius have head gasket issues. Good maintenance for now helps.
    2
  4928. Hi! These are good if they have food maintenance history
    2
  4929. Hi! Thank you for watching! Take care of that Avalon and you’ll remember me in 10-15 years when the thing is still running just like the first day. The filter on the newest Avalon is underneath the back seat between the floor and the bottom of the back seat
    2
  4930. Thank you for watching my video. So hybrids utilize one of the two electric motors to start the engine. It's a motor easily 100 times more powerful than the typical gasoline car starter. Most conventional starters only spin the engine at around 200 rpm. The hybrid system's motor can spin the engine at 1000 rpms that's why it turns on immediately.
    2
  4931. So the RAV4 prime doesn’t have a filter for the battery itself as it’s outside the car and is refrigerant cooled. But the DC/DC converter which sits underneath the back seat does have a filter. Here’s a video on how to service it yourself https://youtu.be/L1l-JNGMTEs
    2
  4932. Hi! Yes I have some videos for different models. Which model do you have?
    2
  4933. Hi! For your Prius v the battery fan filter is located underneath the passenger rear seat. Video on how to service it coming in the future
    2
  4934. That’s something I wondered as well. Have brought it up to them multiple times and still waiting for it to show up. They’ve moved from no filter to a mesh filter to now an actual paper filter which is significantly better at filtering but also much like any air filter easily clogged as well if not maintained.
    2
  4935. Most hybrid models will have somewhat similar power output. Performance is not a priority on hybrids has mileage is. On the Toyota side I would consider an Avalon hybrid as it’s essentially the same as the ES.
    2
  4936. I think the auris if in good shape would be a good hybrid to own. Maintenance is basic and the car overall is good. Just take care of it and it will take care of you
    2
  4937. Hi Jordan! Thank you for watching my channel! A review for the sienna hybrid is planned and will come towards the end of April and beginning of May
    2
  4938. Hi! Personally I like the 2.0 better. But both are good options
    2
  4939. I have a few videos for filters but they vary by model. Here’s a link to all the videos that I made for different models https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeFzfl0Q8rQVmGC047YDDOTFEKGhoZ19K
    2
  4940. Hi! The dust might affect the fan filter but if you check it monthly and clean it as needed you won’t have issues. And the ground clearance perhaps consider an suv like the Venza or the rav4
    2
  4941. Hybrid battery cooling fan filter (if equipped)
    2
  4942. The 2014 might be the odd year where some did some didn’t. If you don’t see one then installing one would be a good idea to make cleaning easy should you have heavy back seat use.
    2
  4943. Look at the most recent records. Usually people tend to neglect the car when they’re ready to sell it or in the later time of their ownership
    2
  4944. Hi! The most important thing is the engine for leaks and rattle on cold start up and maintenance records. These would be deal breakers for me
    2
  4945. I can’t give you a year estimate. It can last that long if taken care of and repaired when needed
    2
  4946. Hi! If you are driving the car weekly it should be good. Letting the car sit for months at a time without driving and repeating that over time is not good. But driving it once or twice a week is ok.
    2
  4947. 10k miles a year is a good bit of driving. As long as the car won’t sit for months at a time you’re good
    2
  4948. They are very nice but the same thing applies. They will be more expensive to maintain than other models. As long as you know this in advance and have the budget to support it you will love it!
    2
  4949. The fan filter is located in the passenger side rear seat on the side. Here’s a video with more specific information to your 2014 Prius https://youtu.be/skSoXGcNpS4
    2
  4950. Thank you for your comment and congratulations on your retirement. I would consider driving it more often when possible. Try to drive it every 2-3 days and at least 5 miles on each trip. This will help offset the low overall mileage on the hybrid system and you shouldn’t have any issues.
    2
  4951. Hi! I’m not really familiar with prices of cars in your area. It’s a good car you bought! Take care of it and it will take care of you
    2
  4952. That’s a good car
    2
  4953. Best wishes for your car purchase. If you don’t have pets or frequent back seat use it could be a year or more before the filter needs cleaning. It’s a very simple one to clean for the car you’re looking for. Here’s a video I made to give you an idea of how simple it is https://youtu.be/U7mjpvRihVU
    2
  4954. That will depend on your use. I would check the filter every 3 months. If it’s clean I would check it again after 6 months and go from there.
    2
  4955. No it’s not spinning at low rpm to start. It’s basically spinning it at running speed because of the hybrid motor turning on the engine
    2
  4956. It’s a good car similar to the Prius C
    2
  4957. That depends. So if you’re driving your car weekly just short distances you’re good. But if the car is systematically going to sit for months at a time then I’d say a gasoline model might be better. If you plan to keep this car up to 5 years then no worries but if keeping it 10-15 years then yes.
    2
  4958. Here’s a video that will help https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNo-VXJSg7s
    2
  4959. Your model does have filters built into the vents under the back seat.
    2
  4960. I think that model you bought is good. Keep up the maintenance on the car and it will take care of you.
    2
  4961. Hi Rene. While I am not very familiar with the specific model that you are buying because it’s not sold in the us but I will say this about hybrids. Drive them normally at first. There’s no specific way to drive a hybrid. One thing you can do is try to coast more and use the brakes lightly and brake more early. This will charge the battery faster.
    2
  4962. Hi! That generation Prius did have an issue with head gaskets that seem to affect 2010-2011 the most
    2
  4963. That would work perfectly then! You’d slowly use the gas and run the gasoline engine so. And if you end up filling every 3 months with gas on a long commute that’s a pretty sweet deal I’d say
    2
  4964. I think it’s worth it especially since your commute is within the EV range. But I would not go over 3 months on the same tank of gas and without running the engine. Because that would cause harm to the fuel system and the engine not running at all and if you plan to keep this car long I would run the engine here and there when possible.
    2
  4965. Hi! Actually the opposite! Hybrids do really well in the city
    2
  4966. Ok clean the hybrid filter get an oil change and check the 12 volt battery and replace it if needed and you should be good
    2
  4967. Hi! It shouldn’t be an issue
    2
  4968. I work exclusively with Toyota so the only EV we have is the RAV4 EV which is rare and not very common. The prime are the closest thing being plug in hybrid and they are doing very well. I am not really sure on how they do with high RF but I only that vital signal wires are heavily shielded and the only affected components would be the remotes/smart key and the tire pressure sensors
    2
  4969. Hi! It does have the same suspension as a normal car. It’s a bit under powered but it’s not that nad
    2
  4970. Hi! Other models are not like the 2010-2011 Prius for the head gasket failure
    2
  4971. You’d have to remove the trim peace’s around them especially the one on the floor. I’ll try to get a car to film with to get a video for everyone
    2
  4972. Hi! I would check it around every 3 months
    2
  4973. Yes it does. I would look for an internal filter if not you’ll want to get an external one
    2
  4974. Hi! If you repeatedly store the car over a months time, you will start affecting the batteries over all health over a 5 year period. But storing it for 2 months once in 5 years will have no significant impact.
    2
  4975. Hi! Some colleges offer training or you can try contacting your local toyota training center and see if they offer training to the public
    2
  4976. Hi! I would test drive it. It does take off well. Not like a v6 but close
    2
  4977. Hi! It’s really hard to guess the codes as there are so many error codes that it could be. Did the dealership give you the trouble codes?
    2
  4978. Hi! Toyota Hybrids don’t have a starter. It uses the hybrid system electric motor to start the engine
    2
  4979. I am not familiar with your Tahoe hybrid. Usually you don’t need to program much but I am not 100% sure with your car.
    2
  4980. Hi! I don’t have much experience with ford hybrids. They did use Toyota technology at some point but I am not sure of the details on any changes to the system on fords side
    2
  4981. Hi! Not much really. Just change the transmission fluid and you should be good
    2
  4982. I would buy one exclusively for city driving as that’s where you’ll get the most mileage
    2
  4983. Hi! Hybrids don’t need much of a warm up. Give it a minute and you’re ready to go
    2
  4984. Sorry the Camry hybrid will have the vent on the package tray behind the rear seat head rests. It doesn’t come with a filter from the factory but you can buy one for it from the dealership.
    2
  4985. Hi! There’s another filter in some hybrids for the fan that cools the high voltage battery
    2
  4986. Hi! No issues rust proofing hybrids
    2
  4987. Yes
    2
  4988. Hi! Check for maintenance history and have a trusted mechanic check the car even if it has low mileage
    2
  4989. I would drive both and see which one you like. They are both good options. If you don’t like the way hybrids drive go with a regular gasoline.
    2
  4990. It’s not going to suffer immediately. If you’re keeping the car long 10+ years I would have someone drive it if possible if not keeping it that long you should be ok
    2
  4991. Hi! Less weight and a different battery
    2
  4992. Unless you know for sure what the noise is and have your trusted mechanic check it out I would run. Every time you buy a car and the seller says it’s not a big deal it usually is.... if it was not a big deal they would fix it and ask more for the car
    2
  4993. Hi! They haven’t come out yet. I’ll make videos when they do. I would give them at least 6 months of production before considering one
    2
  4994. I am working on getting videos for all models on how to replace them. I already have one out for the corolla hybrid.
    2
  4995. Hi! Corolla for reliability bmw for driving
    2
  4996. Hi! It’s a firmer ride for sure. Closer to the ride of the XSE trim
    2
  4997. Hi! Through Toyota need to start at the dealership and work your way up or start with TTEN school
    2
  4998. I think you bought a good one there. A 2014 Prius is one I recommend
    2
  4999. Hi! I have many videos on changing the filters. Which model do you have?
    2
  5000. I believe so. Eventually they will be obsolete but not anytime soon
    2
  5001. Likely they will be available to a certain extent. 1st gen prius battery is still available but in limited supplies and you might have to wait to get one oem
    2
  5002. Hi! You could ask about it, this is basically saying the same thing that’s in the video. You can do it yourself and save or have the dealership do it.
    2
  5003. Hi! Underneath the back seat here’s a video to show you where it is and how to service it https://youtu.be/WNo-VXJSg7s
    2
  5004. Hi Eric! Thank you for watching my channel! Let me answer your questions. 1- it impacts the battery of this long storage is repeated every year over a long period of time. But if it’s a one time thing it should be ok. 2- other than the fan filter the general maintenance of the car like oil changes coolants both for engine and the hybrid system and over all maintenance and repairs as needed on the car. 3- the transmission fluid I would recommend you replace it every 60-90k miles with Toyota original ATF WS and call it a day. The transmission is very reliable on hybrids. Really the most important maintenance that’s easy is oil changes every 5k or 6 months then the fan filter. Coolant every 5 years or 50k miles trans fluid every 60-90k and everything else as needed. Spark plugs at 120k
    2
  5005. Hi! If you’re going with a sienna I would stick with 2015-2016. Avoid 2017 and go with 2018-2020 if you don’t mind the 8 speed transmission. Hybrids are also good but depends if you like them. You can go with a RAV4 hybrid which is an excellent option or the highlander hybrid
    2
  5006. Both transmission options are reliable on highlanders. The hybrid model doesn’t have a conventional CVT it uses an ECVT . The reason it’s noisier is indeed the reviving up of the engine.
    2
  5007. Hi! Very similar to the Prius. On these 2014 and up are best
    2
  5008. If we’re talking about the latest generation they are almost similar driving wise
    2
  5009. Ahmad Ghosheh the part no. G92DH-33010. This number is the same for 2007-2011 Camry hybrid models. Most of these filters that were not equipped from the factory will not show when you look up parts online. If you need a number comment or email.
    2
  5010. Hi Ahmad! At this point almost all if not all hybrids have a filter available that can be installed. So if your hybrid didn’t come with one you can buy and install one. On your 2007 Camry it’s a long filter that sits on top of the vent on the package tray by the 3rd brake light
    2
  5011. Hi! The rx400h and 450h are very good cars. This doesn’t apply to it as they’ve been solid as long as they are maintained right
    2
  5012. I’m planning on doing a video for every hybrid model how to replace or clean the filter. As time and cars availability allows.
    2
  5013. Hi Robert! Thank you for watching and subscribing. The filter on your car is on the sides of the back seat. You'll see a vent shine a light into it and you'll see it.
    2
  5014. Hi! That should be enough mileage. If you like the way it drives, it’s a very good car to buy
    2
  5015. Hi! For a taxi they are great if you keep the maintenance up
    2
  5016. They are ok but expensive. Not to buy one but to own one. Regular maintenance costs more and repairs are typically higher. Not a very impressive hybrid variant of a very impressive car.
    2
  5017. The corolla hybrid is a very good car in my opinion.
    2
  5018. Hi! Those are good hybrid systems in those models. Take care of it and it’ll take care of you
    2
  5019. Hi! It’s not by miles it’s more by time. If you have heavy back seat use it can get dirty as fast at every 3 months. If you hardly use the back seat then it could be years before you need to clean it
    2
  5020. Hi! For your purpose it might be worth the gas savings of a hybrid
    2
  5021. Hi! I would have the car inspected and ask for maintenance records. These are good cars but if not maintained they can be problematic
    2
  5022. Im assuming your referring to the RAV4 prime. They are very well engineered to tackle high heat conditions. They actually utilize the cars air conditioning to cool down the battery in addition to regular air.
    2
  5023. Hi! Thank you for watching my video. The same advice in this video applies to plug in hybrids. One thing I would add is to consider the location where you’ll park the car. Make sure you will have access to a plug to plug in and take advantage of the electric range
    2
  5024. Hi Phillip, If driving it every day or frequently you should be good. Systematic long term storage is what harms these cars. For example leaving the car parked for months at a time over and over is not good for the battery. But driving it short distances weekly is ok.
    2
  5025. They do have a fan filter located underneath the back seat. On the us model it’s located on the drivers side a round vent. Shine a light through it and you’ll see the filter.
    2
  5026. Toyota Aqua is similar to the Prius C which is a good car as long as it’s well maintained
    2
  5027. Hi! I would still consider a hybrid but keep an eye on the filter for the fan that cools the battery
    2
  5028. Hi! Honestly on this model it might not be worth it.
    2
  5029. Yes I do DIY videos. See the channel video listings. With time I continue to add more diy videos
    2
  5030. Thank you for watching my channel! So operating in hot temperatures is ok for hybrids. Just make sure you keep the fan filter clean and clear also make sure you use your air conditioning as that helps as well.
    2
  5031. Hi! Because of the size of the sienna and the way it’s designed it gets the same mileage on both
    2
  5032. If it’s a model with smart key (push button start) then yes, you can use the mechanical key to lock the car while it’s on and unlock it the same way
    2
  5033. Hi! The filter location will depend on the model. In your case a hybrid might be a good option as you make frequent stops in which you can keep the car running in EV mode which uses no gasoline
    2
  5034. Hi! Thank you for watching my video! So I wouldn’t be concerned about cold weather for the battery. Leaving it parked in such weather for months can be a concern but normal daily driving and it sitting for a few days is not an issue at all.
    2
  5035. Here’s a video that I made explaining everything you asked in details https://youtu.be/1OFV8gpxAxI
    2
  5036. You can use premium fuel without harm. But you will not really gain anything.
    2
  5037. I am not very familiar with that model as we don’t have it in the us. I would look around the back seat and front seat area for a vent which the filter should be behind.
    2
  5038. For reliability the later 3rd gen 12-15 is definitely better than the 2nd generation Prius.
    2
  5039. Thank you! Toyota is a very good company. I learned a lot working with them and seeing how they do things. They’re often accused of being reserved and make cars that are not exciting by journalists but in my opinion they are true to their mission statement and not willing to compromise.
    2
  5040. Jackson Bangs thank you for watching my video Jackson. I really don’t have any experience with the leaf.
    2
  5041. I think the Prius prime is the answer of the modern era. I like electric cars but I don't like our infrastructure for them. The Prius Prime and the RAV4 prime is the best of two worlds. You have the electric range to really save on gas and have zero emissions while you also have the hybrid system on standby for long trips. I don't recommend you use the Prius prime as an EV only car as you could create other issues but having around 25 miles of your commute be 100% EV is a pretty big deal.
    2
  5042. Hi! Here’s a video with more specific information to the filter in your rav4 https://youtu.be/L1l-JNGMTEs I would check it every 3 months
    2
  5043. Thank you for watching my video. I don’t have any information on your Cadillac sorry
    2
  5044. I’d have to look up parts for that one. Good question
    2
  5045. Thank you for watching my video! I totally agree with you on the sound. It’s strange and I think they could’ve done a less odd sound. It’s actually called proximity alert and you’re 100% right, it’s meant to alert people of the car when in EV mode. Here’s a video I made talking about this alert. https://youtu.be/GStYQUTI3t4
    2
  5046. I wouldn’t. If you already have one then try to drive it at least every 2-3 days for at least 5 miles.
    2
  5047. Unfortunately in the US the Yaris is not sold as a hybrid yet. I do not have access to prices.

  5048. Hi! Given the age of the car I would try to get a used part but make sure it comes with some kind of warranty in case
    2
  5049. Hi! If you maintain the cooling system of turn battery it will be ok
    2
  5050. The fan filter is important and using AC all summer long is another one. I am going to be filming a few videos with the sienna which will give you a different insight into them
    2
  5051. Hi Greg! On your highlander the filters are in the back seat as soon as you open the rear doors both sides look down and you’ll see a filter. How often depends on your use but I’d check them every 3 months then if they were clean move it up to 6 months and a year as needed
    2
  5052. I usually don’t recommend frame damage cars especially hybrids.
    2
  5053. I think it’s a good car. Based on the Avalon and today their prices are comparable
    2
  5054. https://youtu.be/gjGLG6jg-Mk
    2
  5055. Hi! The fuel tank issue has an official fix from Toyota. Should you have a gas tank filling issue with your RAV4 contact your dealership and they will fix the issue.
    2
  5056. Hi! Underneath the back seat towards one side
    2
  5057. Hi! I think it’s a nice car if it fits your needs size wise. Solid hybrid drivetrain
    2
  5058. Thank you for watching my video! The Toyota Aqua is called the Prius C in the US and a video for how to replace the filter is planned I just have to get a car available.
    2
  5059. My pleasure! I made a pledge to answer comments and questions to best of my ability and I intent to continue to do so! I think you will really like Toyota prime cars
    2
  5060. They are really good as well as long as you don’t use them exclusively as an EV car.
    2
  5061. Hi! Having windows down at higher speeds will affect your gas mileage
    2
  5062. Honestly telling the life of the battery is not accurate. A general car inspection is usually all they need. Prius C should be checked for external head gasket leaks as they’re starting to pop up here and there.
    2
  5063. Hi! As soon as you open the drivers and passenger front doors look down you’ll see a vent with a filter behind it on both sides
    2
  5064. Thank you for watching my video. The 2020 RAV4 hybrid is an excellent suv ever in the non hybrid form. The reason I focused on the Prius because it’s the original hybrid and regardless of sales numbers it will always be the one that gets the newest hybrid system first. All the topics in this video apply to all Toyota hybrid models.
    2
  5065. Hi! I don't have much information on the Acura as I specialize on Toyota products. The rav4 is excellent all around. The acura might feel more luxurious but also possibly cost more.
    2
  5066. Hi! I think a hybrid would be a good fit. However make sure you drive one and make sure you like it before buying as they are a bit different driving than a gasoline only car.
    2
  5067. The transmissions are very reliable on hybrids. Unless the wrong fluid is used or the cars been in a major accident where the transmission is damaged
    2
  5068. Hi! Unfortunately I don’t know of a mechanic directory. I live in Chicago and can help if you are in Chicago area.
    2
  5069. Thank you for watching my video and subscribing! Best wishes with your purchase!
    2
  5070. If the car checks out and seems well maintained then it’s good.
    2
  5071. Actually that highlander for some reason had a mesh that acted as a filter 3 vents under the back seat. I would be careful with that highlander as they can be problematic if neglected. Just make sure it was taken care of
    2
  5072. That’s almost daily driving. A hybrid would be good in this situation
    2
  5073. This is just sad….
    2
  5074. On the 2017 Prius it’s underneath the back seat between the floor and the bottom of the seat. On the Prius V it’s underneath the passenger side rear seat and might not have a filter at that year just a small mesh
    2
  5075. Hi! It depends on the model. Which model you have?
    2
  5076. That’s too new to have issues but it could be an intermediate shaft binding
    2
  5077. Good car and that’s a good year for it. Just keep up the maintenance.
    2
  5078. Hi! They use one of the electric motors to start the engine. Here’s a series I did on how hybrids work for more details https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeFzfl0Q8rQUgJLQheNbttBtKT6iSOX4D
    2
  5079. Similar. The Camry will have a bigger engine
    2
  5080. Hi! Depending on your budget. A Camry hybrid is very suitable for Uber as it’s a good size car and gets very good gas mileage. For only delivery you can go with a Prius or even a Prius C
    2
  5081. You got it Sebastian! I am working on making a video for each model
    2
  5082. Hi! The hybrid battery is equipped to handle high temperatures however you’d want to use ac at all times and keep an eye on the vent and filter for the fan that cools the battery
    2
  5083. Remote starting the car wouldn’t hurt anything
    2
  5084. Thank you for watching my video! On your hybrid I would give the car a few minutes to warm up and be on your way.
    2
  5085. That’s a tough one! Well the Prius is going to be the most efficient and get the best gas mileage while being the smallest. The Camry will be the middle compromise and really my personal pick because it has a good size and good mpgs. The rav4 is the largest with more cargo space than the other 2 but has less mpgs which is still impressive mpg since it’s a hybrid but less than the Camry and Prius. So I would draw a list of priorities and decide from there. Do you prefer gas mileage? Then get the Prius. If you prefer size then get the rav4. I you want both size and mpg then the only compromise is the Camry
    2
  5086. You can jump start them like a normal car. Also a small compressor to air the tires should be ok
    2
  5087. Hi! Yes it’s still applicable
    2
  5088. Hi! If you drive it weekly even low mileage it should be ok
    2
  5089. Likely not know about it. On that model it’s underneath the passenger rear seat
    2
  5090. Hi! This will depend on your owners manual recommendation. If you are in the us then 0w16 is good for all temps
    2
  5091. Hi’ it shouldn’t be an issue just make sure you keep your AC on in hot days
    2
  5092. Hi! They are reliable and more comparable to the highlander hybrid
    2
  5093.  @talpolano4549  there’s no hazard changing the small 12v battery in hybrid cars
    2
  5094. Hi! Are you referring to your 12v battery or the high voltage battery?
    2
  5095. Thank you for watching my videos and subscribing! The 16-18 RAV4 has a built in filter than can be cleaned. The 19+ has a replaceable paper filter than also can be cleaned or replaced.
    2
  5096. Aftermarket hybrid batteries are hit and miss. If it’s from a reputable company with a good warranty they would be ok. But be wary of companies that replace individual cells
    2
  5097. Here’s a video that I made that will show you where and how to clean it https://youtu.be/gjGLG6jg-Mk
    2
  5098. While taxis are usually taken care of but they are also subjected to a lot of harsh conditions. I wouldn’t buy a hybrid that used to be a taxi unless the price is very low
    2
  5099. Great suggestion! And that mechanic doesn't have to be the dealership! I know of at least 2 dealerships in our area that doesn't have very good hybrid mechanics on staff. There's a lot of really good shops out there with mechanics that are knowledgable. Shops that have made the investment in training and equipment that could do the same or better job than the dealership.
    2
  5100. Hey brother! I’m sorry to hear about your Chevy volt. I hope no one was hurt. Regarding highlanders that’s correct. Use my buying guide videos for that generation and the following as a checklist to check the cars.
    2
  5101. Hi! The hybrid fan filter will vary based on the model year. Which year highlander?
    2
  5102. Hi! If you drive the car regularly but short distances you’re good. If the car is regularly stored for months at a time then I wouldn’t get a hybrid
    2
  5103. If you’ve already bought the camera you can install it yourself as they are very simple to install. If you haven’t bought one I will be doing a review on one in the next couple of weeks. If you’re not comfortable installing it you can find a seller/installer install it for you, they are really non intrusive installation wise
    2
  5104. Hi! Installing a dash cam is perfectly fine with your hybrid. Installing an external battery pack is actually a very good idea so you can have protection when the car is left unattended without draining the cars battery
    2
  5105. It’s no secret that heat affects batteries however the cooling system is more than capable but it’s important to maintain it so it can do its job effectively
    2
  5106. I am filming a video on how to service the filter on the 3rd gen Prius and you should see it on this channel in the next 2 weeks.
    2
  5107. Hi! No issues with the RAV4 wearing out the rear tires
    2
  5108. Your filter is on the back of the back seat on the driver or passenger side depending on your market. Find the slotted plastic vent and use a vacuum to clean it.
    2
  5109. As needed. Check it every few months
    2
  5110. I would Change it every 6 months even if the mileage is low
    2
  5111. Hi! Honestly if you’re driving very little a hybrid price might not be justified. You can buy it and have a trickle charger on the 12v battery but there’s no charger to maintain the high voltage battery.
    2
  5112. Hi! Sorry but I am not familiar with honda hybrids I work exclusively on Toyota’s
    2
  5113. I would love a Camry prime
    2
  5114. Hi! Not kill it. Just make sure you use AC
    2
  5115. Thank you Paul! A video is in the works on both hybrid transmission theory reliability and fluid replacement.
    2
  5116. Thank you for your comment Tarek! That video is coming up soon. I’ll go over how to retract the piston and do the brakes without causing any damage to the motor.
    2
  5117. If you’re referring to the filter that’s up to the dealership. I usually check them on every hybrid I service and let you know if the filter is clean or dirty
    2
  5118. Hi! It is very similar to the Prius C. Very good car but a bit small and can be uncomfortable if you drive long
    2
  5119. Yes which model do you have?
    2
  5120. I would make an appointment and have them check for software updates
    2
  5121. Hi! The eCVt transmission in hybrids is extremely reliable as long as they are not overloaded or modified. Fluid changes every 60-90k miles and it should last the life of the car
    2
  5122. Hi! Most filters are not difficult to replace. If you tell me your year and model toyota hybrid that you have I’d be able to be more specific
    2
  5123. Most if not all Camry cabs are hybrids?
    2
  5124. Hi! You’ll need to check for codes to start to see whats going on
    2
  5125. Hi! If you like the van highway driving shouldn’t be an issue
    2
  5126. The 2010 ls600h didn’t come with a filter and unfortunately there’s no filter available for it from Lexus.
    2
  5127. Hi! Which model do you have?
    2
  5128. Hi Brian! Your Lexus doesn’t have filters the vent mesh is it. Likely your filter will not get as dirty since there’s no pets and children or really heavy use of the back seat. Maybe take a peek at it every 6-12 months and vacuum it as needed. Regarding gasoline I would stick with what the manufacturer specified. Mixing gasoline octane really don’t have any advantage other than cost you more work. If it takes premium use premium if it takes regular use regular.
    2
  5129. The Yaris in the US was not the hybrid variant. I am not very familiar with your cars design due to different markets. I would however look under the back seat between the floor of the back area and the bottom part of the seat. Typically you’ll see a slotted vent which would be for the hybrid system
    2
  5130. It doesn’t really have a negative effect. What does have a negative effect is leaving the battery at high charge without being driven. That’s when I would recommend you utilize the charge schedule in the car.
    2
  5131. Hi! It doesn’t but you can add one. Here’s a video that would help on this https://youtu.be/0vwgmIsAefY
    2
  5132. How often to clean it depends on your use I would check monthly first to see how it’s progressing then decide from there. The 3rd gen filter is easy as well. I just posted a video to show you how without removing the seats find it here https://youtu.be/skSoXGcNpS4
    2
  5133. Hi! Running it at idle is not an issue but consider shorter oil change intervals because that is extensive idling
    2
  5134. Yes
    2
  5135. Thank you for watching! So if the car is driven normally it should be ok. If it’s stored outside and sit for a long time perhaps consider a car cover to shield it from direct sunlight
    2
  5136. I would try not to block the vents for the hybrid battery fan underneath the seat and with a hairy friend in the back I would vacuum the vents more often to prevent them from clogging. Also one thing notorious on this model is any water large water spills on the back seat could make their way to the hybrid battery. Otherwise seems like you’ve maintained this car and you should have it for much longer without major issues.
    2
  5137. Absoloutly! Which hybrid model do you have?
    2
  5138. Hi! So it won’t pop a code unfortunately. Typically you’ll start noticing the interior lights dimming hard when you start the car or ready on. But a good rule of thumb is to get the battery tested every 3 years and consider replacement around 5-6 years if you never want to deal with a weak battery.
    2
  5139. They are really good cars in my opinion. Very reliable so far
    2
  5140. Thank you for your comment Phillip. The Prius prime and the AWD Prius is too new to really know how they will fare with reliability which I estimate to be even better than the regular Prius.
    2
  5141. I would disconnect the 12 volt battery and do your best to keep it in a garage. If this is going to be a regular storing then I would take more steps but if this is a one time storage then just the battery and garage storage is ok. I will have a video coming up in the near future detailing best practices to store your car.
    2
  5142. They do have a 12v battery that’s similar to the regular gasoline cars. If that goes dead you can easily jump start it and go
    2
  5143. Hi! Hybrids do better in cold weather than hot at least for the battery. If this is driven regularly it shouldn’t be an issue
    2
  5144. I will be making videos for each model as car availability allows. On your rav4 the vents are on either side of the back seat bottom. You’ll see it as soon as you open either back door
    2
  5145. Hi! If it had good maintenance history it’s a good car. They do tend to burn oil as they rack up miles so keep an eye on thay
    2
  5146. Hi! That’s the electric water pump for the inverter running. Totally normal and nothing to worry about.
    2
  5147. Wonderful! Congratulations!
    2
  5148. Best wishes Richard! I hope you get the right car for you and it serves you well for years to come.
    2
  5149. Good choice! Unfortunately I don’t know any in your area.
    2
  5150. The Camry hybrid gets 40mpg. Also adding cruise control personally I don’t like the idea of an add on cruise control.
    2
  5151. Hi! Personally I would go with the Camry. More room and better experience over all. The Prius c is a great car but is too small and a lot more on the economy side and you feel it driving it.
    2
  5152. Hi! The oil change information applies to all Toyota hybrids only. Not models with a regular automatic transmission that are not hybrids.
    2
  5153. On hybrids it’s not possible to do that. Just drain the transmission and fill it and you’re all set
    2
  5154. Hi! On hybrids you can change the fluid at any time
    2
  5155. Hi! I would have the fluid replaced in the transmission and differential exactly as you see in the video including the part number for the gaskets. You can’t cause harm by replacing it late in a hybrid transmission unlike a conventional automatic
    2
  5156. Hi! This one needs a bit in person diagnosis. Nothing is common on these make sure it’s nothing with the brakes
    2
  5157. Yes this is exactly the same.
    2
  5158. Yes. I did talk about it towards the end of the video. Relatively level as in 4 jack stands not 2
    2
  5159. Yes it’s common but you can’t flush a hybrid transmission? Perhaps they drained and filled it and wrote a flush by mistake
    2
  5160. Change at room temperature
    2
  5161. Hi! On hybrids you can change the fluid at any mileage
    2
  5162. Hi! No rear differential on your 2016. AWD Prius models that came later so have a rear differential
    2
  5163. Hi! I would replace it
    2
  5164. Thank you for watching my channel! So the Mobil 1 oil is the engine oil only. The transmission fluid I would buy from Toyota directly
    2
  5165. Hi! There’s no differential fluid in your car. Just the transmission fluid
    2
  5166. Hi! This is the same as your rav4 and it takes Toyota WS ATF and replacement is recommended every 60-90k miles
    2
  5167. Hi! Not on hybrids
    2
  5168. Hi! With hybrids there’s no issue replacing the fluid later so you’re good to replace it
    2
  5169. Not true. It’s very simple to replace the fluid
    2
  5170. Almost 8 for this one
    2
  5171. No worries about the fluid temp. No driving no rechecking! Just fill it until it overflows and wait for the excess to drain and you’re good to go
    2
  5172. Hi! Fill the transmission until fluid starts overflowing from the fill hole then wait until it stops dripping and you’re good just like the video
    2
  5173. You’ll need 4 one for each plug
    2
  5174. Hi! Yes there are 4 gaskets for each plug.
    2
  5175. Hi! Hybrids don’t have a transmission filter
    2
  5176. Hi! I was referring to the generation as a whole not just the transmission. So that includes the inverter and just the way the system operates internally
    2
  5177. Hi! Yes exactly the same. On some of them the fill plug will be in a different location on the other side of the transmission. But the rest of the process is the same
    2
  5178. TIS will give you general information and usually limited when it comes to maintenance. Abs errors are possible that’s why they have a feedback button to submit correction requests
    2
  5179. Hi Michael. Thank you for bringing this up. Could be an error in the manual. If you instead of going to the maintenance section go to drivetrain then find the transmission and go to fluid adjustment you’ll see the exact same procedure without that section. We’d do that if there’s contamination but a normal replacement it doesn’t make sense at all. I’ll inquire about it from my side and see what I get back.
    2
  5180. So you’re looking at up to 5 quarts
    2
  5181. Thank you!
    2
  5182. Hi! It rely on splash lubrication and if the car is moving the pump is running. Also it doesn’t really have moving parts when the car is stopped
    2
  5183. Hi! Yep they’re very simple! The new RAV4 has the exact same setup
    2
  5184. I’m sorry to hear that my brother! I hope you’re feeling better! That’s unfortunately the price of working on cars sometimes. Always take off wedding rings when working on cars. Feel better my friend
    2
  5185. The front differential is part of the transmission which needs replacing of the fluid every 60-90k miles. If it’s Awd model the rear differential at the same interval
    2
  5186. Hi! I wouldn’t worry as they usually have to check the fluid level. Some mechanics like to change the fluid twice that might also be the case. And they’re right on the filter don’t worry
    2
  5187. If it’s a hybrid model you’re still in the range and at your earliest convenience take care of it. If you have a non hybrid I would get it done as soon as possible and this video doesn’t apply to the non hybrid transmission. See this video for non hybrid transmission fluid https://youtu.be/eRxSu4-4ojo
    2
  5188. Yes it’s the same procedure
    2
  5189. Hi! I would drain that as soon as possible and replace it with WS ATF
    2
  5190. You can do that as well
    2
  5191. Hi! There’s only one.
    2
  5192. On hybrids just the transmission and the rear differential if it’s awd
    2
  5193. A torque wrench is a good investment for diy mechanics
    2
  5194. The 2019+ hybrid transmission fluid is very similar to this one, you just have to remove the covers.
    2
  5195. Hi! No the non hybrid is different. Here’s a video for that one https://youtu.be/eRxSu4-4ojo
    2
  5196. Hi! Changing the car? That’s too new with very little miles. I wouldn’t
    2
  5197. Hi! There’s a VIN number on the engine that you can find to see if it matches the one on the chassis and on hybrids you can change the transmission fluid at any time. No damage will occur.
    2
  5198. Hi! Yes that’s what the video is about? The transaxle and front differential are one unit and share the same fluid
    2
  5199. Hi! On hybrids it won’t mess up the transmission
    2
  5200. Hi! A hybrid Toyota doesn’t have gears per se to slip. But the noise you hear could be a misfire rattle. This one will need In person diagnosis but the transmission should be ok.
    2
  5201. Hi! 7 should be enough for both. Fill it until it overflows
    2
  5202. And they would be right. But the missing information is the definition of the life time. As Donald mentioned. I wouldn’t wait to find out what’s the life time and replace the fluid with original.
    2
  5203. Hi! If your car is a 2021 rav4 hybrid then it’s 90915-YZZN1 for the oil filter
    2
  5204. Hi! Which link are you referring to?
    2
  5205. Yes
    2
  5206. As flagmichael mentioned Very few places in tech papers they call it an eCVT. Mostly it’s known by its model name and hybrid transaxle
    2
  5207. Regular non hybrid has gear oil as Vilson said.
    2
  5208. This is a hybrid differential and Toyota hybrid transmissions use WS. Non hybrid differentials use gear oil and Mobil 1 is good there
    2
  5209. Hi! Thank you for watching my channel! I would wait until at least 100k then consider replacing the fluid
    2
  5210. Hi! There are no issues with the 2021 8 speed other than the odd way it shifts which is less of a problem more of a feel thing.
    2
  5211. So far the only few issues with direct injectors has been on the 4 cylinder. The 6 cylinder version I haven’t seen any issues.
    2
  5212. Thank you for watching my video! I hear you on the transmission. That’s the way it is and just know that there is no problem that you need worrying about. Agree on the SE and XSE looks.
    2
  5213. 😂
    2
  5214. I don’t really believe in the transmission fluid that is lifetime. We start to see shifting issues after 100k on the sealed ones. I would replace it every 60k or 6 years
    2
  5215. Hi! Every 5k is what I would do personally
    2
  5216. Hi! I haven’t seen any valve seat issues yet
    2
  5217. Agreed. That would be a cool option
    2
  5218. Hi! I am not concerned about the recalls on this model at all. The issue with the engines affected a very small number and it was a known manufacturing issue. Other cars that didn’t have the recall are not affected and won’t have issues.
    2
  5219. Hi! It would work yes
    2
  5220. Hi! Yes every 60k miles or 6 years
    2
  5221. Warranty is 3/36k comprehensive and 5/60 powertrain. And I’m telling you to take care of the pano roof because you don’t want to be outside of warranty and have a major problem with the pano roof that would require replacing the whole thing because it is very expensive to replace.
    2
  5222. No not really
    2
  5223. Yes it also has the 8 speed transmission
    2
  5224. Hi brother! They are very similar construction wise with the Avalon having a longer wheelbase.
    2
  5225. Hi! Does it have good service history(
    2
  5226. The update is radio based only. Unless they disconnected the battery which they shouldn’t.
    2
  5227. Hi Andrew. I wouldn’t on your 2017 highlander. Stick with 0W20 full synthetic
    2
  5228. That wouldn’t void your warranty and it’s actually not a bad idea!
    2
  5229. I would change the cvt fluid every 60k miles. I haven’t seen very high mileage ones yet on the corolla maybe 50-60k.
    2
  5230. They’ve been reliable so far. I haven’t seen any issues.
    2
  5231. Sorry to hear that. Curious did it leak into the booster or just completely went out where there are no brakes?
    2
  5232. Hi! Bring it to the dealerships attention and see if there are any updates. The delay can be normal. I do work at a Toyota dealership and the update for safety sense is not possible
    2
  5233. They are good cars to buy used. Just be aware of these issues and pick up on them so you end up buying a good one not one that’s neglected and misused.
    2
  5234. Hi! So the AWD system on the Camry is an automatic one that doesn’t have any precautions other than not using different size or brand tires for a long time and the added fluid maintenance for the transfer case and rear differential
    2
  5235. I have a similar video for the last 2 generations highlanders. The newest one is coming in the near future https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeFzfl0Q8rQVV48qGZhzQWpapc_F8elah
    2
  5236. Hi! They will try to balance the tires and that should take care of it. Just describe the speed that it happens and if you feel it in the steering or the car
    2
  5237. Hi! Thank you for watching. I will be honest and tell you the truth which might not sound good. Modifying a Toyota 4 cylinder engine is not a good idea. I’d much rather you sell your car and buy a V6 model. Modify your Toyota and the one good reason to buy one is gone, reliability.
    2
  5238. I can’t speak too much on recalls because of conflict of interest but if Toyota deems that your car has a safety issue relating to the fuel pump or any other component they are very proactive about issuing recalls and taking care of their customers safety.
    2
  5239. Hi! They’re good. They use an older system that’s not complicated
    2
  5240. If you want better gas mileage get the LE model otherwise they are all good. Zero issues with hybrids in these years
    2
  5241. Hi! No issues using auto car washes and snow on top. Just like in your old sunroof you don’t want to open it with snow on top as it’s too much weight as the pano roof opens over the roof instead of inside.
    2
  5242. It’s possible that either parts are not available yet or the recall is not ready to be completed. They should complete the recall before you buy it. Is this in the us?
    2
  5243. Thank you for your comment. Computer people usually have the hardest time dealing with car computers. This is a fact I see from experience. The transmission software and even the engine software does adapt but here’s the typical scenario. You buy the used car today. It’s shifting horribly because you drive differently than the person before you. Your natural reaction is to bring it back and say there’s a problem with the transmission. Would you take drive it for a few weeks or even a month and it will readapt? Or do you just want it fixed? You abuse a sunroof by opening it when it’s frozen or worse not use it at all then 2 years later you decide to open it. I can go on and on about what people do to their sunroofs which really has no software or sensors. It’s all mechanical and a motor.
    2
  5244. Not yet but in the future
    2
  5245. Thank you Stephane! Hope you’re doing well.
    2
  5246. Hi! Was your car park on an incline or decline?
    2
  5247. There’s a special procedure to bleed the coolant hopefully one day I can make a video for it
    2
  5248. Hi! You mean the AC or the engine/inverter coolant?
    2
  5249. They likely will charge up to an hour labor at the most
    2
  5250. Hi! Every 60k miles or 6 years
    2
  5251. Hi Wendy. They can switch the wheels Of course! Thank you for watching my channel!
    2
  5252. Try to have the memory reset. That could improve the shifting or resolve it
    2
  5253. It can be added not very expensive and can be diy
    2
  5254. Hi! I’d had to check the 2021 sheet but most likely it doesn’t have it
    2
  5255. Just top it off
    2
  5256. A software update could resolve a lot of the issues and/or resetting the memory.
    2
  5257. Hi! Daihatsu has always been integrated with Toyota. The scion models in the us were badged as Daihatsu overseas
    2
  5258. Hi! I would switch the lug nuts to the correct ones for alloy wheels
    2
  5259. Hi! Go to another dealership or call Toyota directly.
    2
  5260. Hi! The 2AR is a different engine than this one! That one can use 0w20 5w20 or 5w30
    2
  5261. Hi! That could be one of the affected ones. Ask your dealership for an extended policy and if there are any software updates for the transmission
    2
  5262. Hi. When I referred to issues that will be covered under warranty so don’t worry. I referred to issues that were addressed and the new part that’s being installed is updated. So likely when these issues occur under warranty, down the road when the car is out of warranty they won’t happen again.
    2
  5263. It is. I think it’s a very nice model with an interesting option package for the price
    2
  5264. Record the sound and email it me to. I want to take a listen.
    2
  5265. Hi! The hybrid model comes with an eCVT and non hybrids come with the 8 speed transmission.
    2
  5266. I hear ya. Honestly I wouldn’t rush to move on from your car. It’s possibly one of the best Camry models made
    2
  5267. Hi Scott! A scan tool would have to be capable to do the memory reset. It would likely be cheaper to take it to your dealership and have them reset it. No software update it available for your Camry unfortunately.
    2
  5268. Honestly I have no ongoing experience with honda to share.
    2
  5269. I would take it to the dealership and have them drive it. If it has more than 60k miles and out of warranty I would call Toyota and likely they’ll take care of it.
    2
  5270. Yes that is correct. Unfortunately on the newer v6 the bleeder is gone so bleeding them can be a bit more difficult but it doesn’t require any special equipment or procedures.
    2
  5271. The v6 has a mechanical water pump. The 4 cylinder has electric
    2
  5272. They are all good with early 18s having some issues which most would be covered by warranty if buying certified.
    2
  5273. Hi! Yes you can
    2
  5274. In my opinion, better engineered and constructed by leaps and bounds.
    2
  5275. Sorry for the delay. The part number is 63251-06100
    2
  5276. Hi! I’d have to look it up and at the moment my system is down. And it’s easy to install
    2
  5277. Have a dealership take a listen to the noise and get it covered.
    2
  5278. It should be 4.5-6.3 at warmed up idle
    2
  5279. Hi! Illinois Chicago suburbs
    2
  5280. Those are good years to buy in that generation corolla.
    2
  5281. Thank you for watching! Yes the hybrid uses the same engine
    2
  5282. Hi! Likely needs a calibration. Do you have a capable scan tool?
    2
  5283. So the bleeding is normal on the 2018 Camry non hybrid. I usually go R/R then L/R then R/F then L/F you can gravity bleed it power bleed it or vacuum bleed it. As long as the fluid in the master doesn’t drop below minimum you’re good
    2
  5284. I hear you on the range and the door tinny feel. I remember when it came out it felt like the hood make a more solid sound closing than the door. On the remote a trick we found to make the range better is to literally put the remote underneath your chin and use it. It seems to increase the range try it
    2
  5285. Thank you for watching my videos! You can add fog lights but they would have to be aftermarket.
    2
  5286. Hi! It will adapt eventually but resetting it sometimes accelerates that process.
    2
  5287. You can adjust toe on the rear. It has an eccentric setup in the back.
    2
  5288. Hi! The first change is 100k or 5 years. No harm in changing it earlier but you can safely wait until the 100k
    2
  5289. Hi! The Camry non hybrid doesn’t have a cvt transmission, and the hybrid has a different transmission that is called ecvt but not really a conventional cvt. You can’t go wrong with a Camry.
    2
  5290. Hi. You can go with the original as their prices are almost identical if you shop around
    2
  5291. Yes it does
    2
  5292. If you don’t care too much for the new technology and the way the newer cars handle. A 2017 Camry in good condition is always a safe one to buy. Very simple and reliable
    2
  5293. Hi! So far the engine has been reliable. A few small things here and here but mainly in the first year. By 2020 things are going good. I’d say so far a definite 8-9 on reliability. Nothing is a perfect 10
    2
  5294. @bboucharde I just saw another comment you posted that you or YouTube deleted. Perhaps check with YouTube. I don’t delete comments.
    2
  5295. The v6 seems much better I haven’t seen issues with them
    2
  5296. Hi! The first thing with any auto transmission diagnosis is checking the fluid level and condition and go from there
    2
  5297. The 2.0 in the corolla has been very solid so far. I haven’t seen any issues.
    2
  5298. Hi! I would first jump start it and warm up the car. Drive it for at least 1/2 hour or if possible charge the battery. After the 1/2 hour drive get the battery load tested. If it fails replace it if not then I would recommend you get it charged. Also I would change the engine oil and filter and you’re all set.
    2
  5299. Hi! The battery drain issue came up after the filming of this video. There’s a fix for the battery drain in a software update. Haven’t seen the screen delamination one.
    2
  5300. That’s good. The whining noise from the problem transmissions is extremely loud on normal acceleration.
    2
  5301. If it’s the common whining noise that’s an actual issue it wouldn’t take much talking with Toyota to get them to goodwill the repair. Contact your dealership and have them listen to the noise and go from there
    2
  5302. The transmission will adapt to a medium between the two
    2
  5303. Hi! Record a video and show it to them
    2
  5304. Thank you for watching. If it was up to Toyota we’d still have real bullet proof cars. Emission standards and government regulations is what pushes them to do all this.
    2
  5305. You can! Good for you for standing your ground! MSRP is good. I don’t have much experience with the napleton group honestly
    2
  5306. Hi! At this point most if not all of the issues are resolved by 2022 model year. Congratulations on your purchase!
    2
  5307. Hi! The issues should be ironed out in the later model years. Also follow the recommended oil in your owners manual. If it says 0w16 only then stick with it.
    2
  5308. It sounds normal to me. Nothing to worry about.
    2
  5309. Hi! Any chance you can record a video and post it on YouTube and share it so I can hear?
    2
  5310. Hi! It will not affect your warranty unless there’s an issue directly caused by the wheels. For an example if a wheel bearing fails prematurely and they deem the larger wheels caused it then they could not cover it under warranty but things not related to the modification wouldn’t be affected.
    2
  5311. If it’s my car I would replace it every 5k miles or 6 months.
    2
  5312. Hi Jayson! The 2AR-FE is a very good engine if maintained right. Early ones had terrible oil burning issues and this is possible with the new ones if oil changes are not done in time. If it’s maintained right they are reliable with very little issues.
    2
  5313. Hi! The issues were universal for both us and Japan made. It wouldn’t be a recall. It could be a TSB or warranty enhancement
    2
  5314. Hi! Just make sure the car has good service history and has been taken care of. The service history is much higher on my list than mileage with toyotas
    2
  5315. There are some differences In suppliers but the parts are most of the time interchangeable. Some of the older models had differences but most of the newer ones are identical.
    2
  5316. Yes. Most of the issues affected all builds.
    2
  5317. The transmission will learn a combination of the drivers. So it one of them is heavy footed and the other is hot it will find a medium with shift points and speed of shifts. If only one person who’s heavy footed drives it will prioritize longer shifts and firmer pressure on shifts.
    2
  5318. Steve you’re absolutely right. One day we actually tried to price out a car from parts and we were well above the MSRP with just half the parts.
    2
  5319. Hi! They are good so far. No issues that I have seen
    2
  5320. Yes it does. Just replaced one today actually!
    2
  5321. Hi! The replacement part is updated. Should be a permanent fix
    2
  5322. Hi! Record a video so I can hear the noise
    2
  5323. Yes it is. Just make sure the electronic parking brake if equipped is disengaged.
    2
  5324. It won’t know that it’s two drivers. It will adapt to the driving conditions of the car. So basically it will find a medium of the two drivers and follow it. The transmission doesn’t exactly tailor to the drivers settings like a cell phone or radio. It will basically change the shift points and abruptness of the shifts based on your driving. This is a gradual change that doesn’t happen over night. It’s always making small tweaks as you drive.
    2
  5325. Hi! I personally don’t. But the mileage really depends on the condition of the car. I’ve seen 50k mile cars that are in a lot worse shape than a 200k mile same car. It depends how well the car was maintained and taken care of
    2
  5326. Hi! Hard for me to tell without hearing the noise. I wouldn’t even worry I would bring it to the dealerships attention as it’s under warranty.
    2
  5327. On the 4 cylinder it’s between the intake manifold and the cylinder head.
    2
  5328. Hi Aaron. I’d have to look and see what changed. Sometimes it’s something silly or simple but I’ll look into it
    2
  5329. Unfortunately they seem to be totally random. The threads get pulled not really corrosion.
    2
  5330. I discussed this in the 2nd part of this video. I’d say 2005-2006 or if you want the newer V6 2008-2009
    2
  5331. Hi! Unfortunately once it starts not much you can do other than wait for it to get had
    2
  5332. Thank you! Coming up soon in a week or two
    2
  5333. Yes just make sure the transmission is good
    2
  5334. Thank you for watching my video! 4runners are awesome! Just think how reliable your sienna was, the 4Runner is even better. I have a similar video on 4runners find it here https://youtu.be/bi_AeB335Yo
    2
  5335. The 3.3 is very good and simpler to work with than the 3.5. Just find one with good service history
    2
  5336. Hi! I would replace the timing belt at around 90k miles. I would replace the water pump, drive belts cam and crank seals at the same time as you'll save on labor this way and you should have no issues. You can easily go over that mileage with the timing belt and not worry but that's the recommended interval. The timing belt in your van is very well made and not easy to break unless the water pump goes and takes it out which is somewhat common but if your mechanic checked the water pump for leakage and it looks good then you shouldn't be in a rush.
    2
  5337. It’s possible. They would leak on the same area where the coolant plate is
    2
  5338. Usually around 5-6
    2
  5339. Somewhat. The intake manifold needs to be removed.
    2
  5340. Hi! It could be the plate underneath the intake manifold that’s leaking coolant. Can be easily mistaken for a thermostat leak
    2
  5341. Go for it. They will however replace the rubber hose only. Which effectively takes care of the issue because now you have a new rubber hose and it will take years for it to get brittle again.
    2
  5342. Hi! It will need diagnosis but you could remove the belt and start it and see if it goes away. If it does check the water pump and the belt idlers
    2
  5343. Hi! Every 30k miles
    2
  5344. I’m already working on the 2nd part of this week hoping either next week or the latest the following week.
    2
  5345. Hi! Are you sure it’s from the transmission not from the suspension like control arms?
    2
  5346. I would just turn it off. I’ve seen issues with the button itself
    2
  5347. Turn off and on the sonar using the bottom near the hvac controls is that the same beep that it makes?
    2
  5348. Hi! Does your car has sonar sensors?
    2
  5349. Hi! Some models were not equipped with the oil cooler so it doesn’t have an oil cooler line. The other vvti line is rubber in your van. A bit harder to swap it with an all metal one as the power steering pump needs to come off
    2
  5350. That should work if there are no codes
    2
  5351. Honestly the knock sensors will have zero effect on gas mileage in your case. I wouldn’t worry about them unless you have codes.
    2
  5352. So how much did the fuel economy drop? And was there a certain point that it did?
    2
  5353. Hi! I would look for fuel economy elsewhere like brakes and tires
    2
  5354. Hi! In the Chicago are email for details
    2
  5355. Thank you for watching. I’m hoping the next part will come out next week.
    2
  5356. Honestly for DIY the previous engine is easier to work on
    2
  5357. Hi! It would need some diagnosis as it could be an idler or another component driven by the belt
    2
  5358. Ig1 is the left bottom grey relay. If you pull the label underneath the mirror controls you’ll see the relays it’s the bottom left one
    2
  5359. If I’m not mistaken it’s the lower left one. Don’t have access to the manual at the moment. I’ll get back when I get access. Do me a favor and replay to this comment so I won’t miss it.
    2
  5360. I hear you. That alternator is a bear. The ig1 relay is inside the car on the fuse block behind the dash on the drivers side
    2
  5361. I would say no. That's actually a late 2018. 2018 models start around June or July of 2017 so yours is actually one of the last 2018 models before 2019 came out. It could still be covered if any issues come up with the transmission but I doubt it.
    2
  5362. These vans are older now and the lack of maintenance and neglect will show at this time when buying one. Video is to make sure people don’t go buying the worst one just because it’s cleaned up and shiny
    2
  5363. Wow.. 1200 for a cooler line? That’s at least double or close to triple what a dealership should charge!! 375 is more like it
    2
  5364. Hi! I always like the Camry size as in my opinion is the perfect size for all occasions. A hybrid model for city driving is perfect.
    2
  5365. Bullet proof is a relative term. They are great cars on reliability but as they age things that normally have went a long time ago in other makes start to go.
    2
  5366. Hi! It does have a timing chain. Keep up the maintenance and you should have it for some time.
    2
  5367. It’s possible it’s related to tires. But I wouldn’t start doing anything about it without making sure that this is indeed the problem. Check your tires for wear and that they are the same size
    2
  5368. Is it an XLE or limited? Could be VSC (vehicle stability control) activating and preventing acceleration which is normal unless it’s activating for no reason then it would need diagnosis to be honest.
    2
  5369. Tough one. They are both very reliable in my opinion. The 3mz can be more diy friendly but the 2GR maintenance is also less
    2
  5370. Hi! That’s likely a front timing chain cover leak. Clean it first and see how long it takes to come back.
    2
  5371. Most drivers use severe maintenance schedule but use normal schedule. Basically timely basic maintenance like oil changes fluids
    2
  5372. Hi! You’ll need to check codes.
    2
  5373. Hi! Don’t have experience with those
    2
  5374. I agree with you on the 5000 mile oil changes
    2
  5375. Hi! Honestly I’d look at a newer one
    2
  5376. It’s not advisable to disassemble that bladder tank. Replace the whole unit with the pump
    2
  5377. Honestly Fred You did your due diligence with maintenance that’s why your Prius is running good
    2
  5378. CT’s after 2014 are good
    2
  5379. Hi! They are very good and basically similar to my recommendation on the Avalon hybrid
    2
  5380. Hi! They are too new in the US to know their battery reliability but based on previous models it should be good
    2
  5381. No they don’t have many issues
    2
  5382. Hi! They are doing really well so far. One example with well over 200k seen recently and going strong
    2
  5383. I did
    2
  5384. Honestly it all comes to the packaging of the car. A smaller tank means less weight when it’s full and smaller size so they can give the car more space inside
    2
  5385. Not really! Just keep taking care of it
    2
  5386. Honestly I typically discourage individual cell replacement because you’ll be going back and forth trying to balance the battery and it becomes a waste of time at some point
    2
  5387. Hi! They’re not available in my area but they share a lot with the corolla and are pretty similar
    2
  5388. Hi! I actually like the hybrid corolla. Makes a lot of sense. Just wish they’d offer it in other trims
    2
  5389. Hi! Not yet but it’s on the list and I’ll get to it in the future.
    2
  5390. 2019 and up corollas are good especially the hybrid one. I missed mentioning it in this video but it’s a very good model
    2
  5391. Hi! Coming in the near future
    2
  5392. Hi! Take the small tube off and see how much carbon there it and decide if you need to clean it or not. I wouldn’t replace the water pump unless it has issues
    2
  5393. Good after 2014
    2
  5394. A few things. First is your license plate rattling? Then any accidents in the rear?
    2
  5395. Hi! 0w20 is good in your case
    2
  5396. Hi! Don’t let water get to the door level
    2
  5397. Hi! That is a good model to buy
    2
  5398. Hi Raul! They did have a program for the dashboard but unfortunately it’s likely expired at this time.
    2
  5399. Hi! You’re honestly better off with just a hybrid not a plug in for Uber
    2
  5400. Hi! Both are very reliable models. The RAV4 will have better gas mileage. The Lexus does have that engine and ecvt
    2
  5401. I honestly don’t have experience with Ford hybrids
    2
  5402. Dealerships in my area are approaching $175 an hour. My shop is a lot less than that as I work slow and often film which takes even longer.
    2
  5403. Hi! Eventually they start rattling continuously lock up and break the chain and bend the valves. If it’s just starting you have time. If it does it every single start or continuous replace them
    2
  5404. Hi! The passages have O rings that were replaced in this job and should always be replaced with new. The fender covers are large shop towels that the uniform company supplies
    2
  5405. Check the ground wire going from the battery to the body. Where that wire connects to the body is likely a rusty bolt that’s loose. Clean the area where the ground connects and clean the threads and install a new bold
    2
  5406. Hi! Your highlander should have a metal plenum so you’re ok for now. On the plastic ones if you leave them off the plenum could crack and cause vacuum leaks
    2
  5407. On models affected you likely will need this done once in the life of the car
    2
  5408. Hi! They’re basically shop towels that are large they work really well. Uniform company supplies them. And the car had around 70k if memory serves right
    2
  5409. Hi! The 2AR makes a normal half second rattle not to be mistaken with a VVTi rattle. When a 2AR vvti rattle it lasts 3-5 seconds and it’s super loud
    2
  5410. Usually the clips are part of the body is memory serves right. Did all of them come out?
    2
  5411. It’s a 2013 and not all will require this
    2
  5412. Book time is around 13 I’m charging 8
    2
  5413. I ordered the uniforms the day we broke ground on the shop. Still waiting for them to arrive ETA is early July. Can’t wait because I’m going through many pairs of jeans that are getting ruined
    2
  5414. I dislike them honestly. Difficult to clean and most folks end up not cleaning them well
    2
  5415. $500 max at our shop. I think $1000 is way too much even at the dealership
    2
  5416. I have no really looked into a way to disable it. I’ll look into it
    2
  5417. That would be nice 😀
    2
  5418. If you want to try it ask dealerships for a rental car or some of them call it a 24 hour test drive. Also check out Turo which is a service that lets you rent other peoples cars.
    2
  5419. Thank you! Welcome back to the Yota world! I’d say the RAV4 and the Camry are very similar in reliability. The Tacoma comes after simply because it’s a truck and they tend to need more maintenance over time. But the Tacoma will likely hold its value better than the other two. If you keep your cars very long I suppose resale value doesn’t matter much
    2
  5420. Every 60-90k miles

  5421. No some models still have port injection only. The v6 in most models today is D4S but some are not. Same with the 4 cylinders
    2
  5422. Hi! At the dealership level you can’t disable it as it’s considered a safety feature. If you disconnect the speaker it shouldn’t cause ossues
    2
  5423. It’s possible. I am not familiar with no US models
    2
  5424. There’s no mechanical way that the exhaust and intake valves remain open precisely. At full acceleration the engine comes on and adds to the power mix.
    2
  5425. Thank you for watching my video! Both engines have the same bore but have a different stroke which also changes displacement.
    2
  5426. Hi! Typically hybrid batteries don’t have a break in period but the rest of the car does.
    2
  5427. I would try to get the codes. Your conventional code reader won’t be able to get these codes you’d need a more capable scan tool.
    2
  5428. The only way that I know of to bleed it is to use a Toyota scan tool and sometimes it takes multiple attempts to get it bled
    2
  5429. Hi! Likely there air in it. How was it bled?
    2
  5430. If you are not in the US some markets don’t have that feature.
    2
  5431. Very good recommendation on the throttle body.
    2
  5432. Hi! It’s not possible as it’s a safety device unfortunately
    2
  5433. See if you put it in reverse with the car running and the engine off if you hear it
    2
  5434. Hi! This will need diagnosis but you’ll need to make sure the engine is not misfiring
    2
  5435. Thank you for watching my video. The new sienna power is ok slightly on the underpowered side. I recently drove one with just me in the car it was ok. I wonder how it would be with passengers and luggage
    2
  5436. Yes that rattle is likely a small misfire. It could be an early issue with the EGR system sticking. It would need cleaning or replacement of parts. You could have some kind of coverage with Toyota on that. If the check engine light is on call a dealership and give them your vin and ask about coverage for egr problems.
    2
  5437. Ok I see. Does it happen when the gasoline engine is running? Also what year Prius?
    2
  5438. Is it like a buzzing sound?
    2
  5439. Sorry I should’ve mentioned it. It’s just a harmonic balancer you balance the engine. All cars has one connected directly to the crankshaft then the belt would go into the harmonic balancer. In hybrid models with no belt it’s just a harmonic balancer with nothing connected to it
    2
  5440. Thank you for watching my videos! I don’t really have any experience with integration of aftermarket radio units.
    2
  5441. Thank you Jonas. It’s a mystery why Toyota doesn’t sell the inner tie rods separate. They used to at some point but not anymore at least for most models.
    2
  5442. Hi! Congratulations on your purchase. I would have the car inspected for safety first. Tires and brakes. Get an oil change and drive it for 6 months to make sure everything looks good. Then start with replacing both coolants and the trans fluid. Keep the vent on the drivers side of the back seat clean and vacuum it regularly and you should have no issues. I would change the oil every 5k or 6 months
    2
  5443. Hi! Unfortunately there’s no way that I know of to lower the sound as it’s considered a safety feature
    2
  5444. That’s not an issue at all. Idling in neutral is the issue but if you’re in park there’s no problem at all.
    2
  5445. Hi! Hybrids are more than capable on very long drives! Don’t worry one bit about the battery on long drives. One thing I will say on long drives. Try to avoid continuous high speed driving for hours at a time. High speeds exceeding 90mph could stress the hybrid system over a long drive. But driving normal highway speeds up to 90mph you can drive it as long as you need without harming anything.
    2
  5446. Hi Ahmad! Thank you! So your Camry does use R134 but the oil is what’s different. At every Toyota dealership there’s a dedicated machine with R134 but has never touched any car but hybrids to avoid oil contamination.
    2
  5447. Hi! Thank you for watching my series! Did you want a specific topic on the RAV4 hybrid covered?
    2
  5448. That’s the one
    2
  5449. So that was not a recall. It was a TSB that turned into a customer support program. You can’t get the update done unless the issue is there and a new updated EGR valve is installed.
    2
  5450. I think moog makes good products. But if the price is the same I would go with original of course
    2
  5451. Hi! Air suspension on that Lexus is generally reliable however all air suspension at some point will have issues. I would look at it this way. If the car is 15 years old and they’re holding. I’d say that’s pretty good. If they fail they will be expensive but they will likely hold for another 15 years just like the originals did. Replacing to coil springs is an option if you are on a budget but just know the ride will change, not significantly but you’ll be able to tell.
    2
  5452. Thank you for watching! They’re probably gonna be leaky for a long time and after much anticipation nothing will happen. Glad the dealership didn’t recommend them. Say no to that if ever do!
    2
  5453. I would actually replace them or at least unload the suspension and check them. They’re not expensive and not hard to replace. I would get originals as well.
    2
  5454. Hi! Possibly going to the dealership for a second opinion would be helpful. Pulls could be caused by an incorrect alignment.
    2
  5455. Hi they should test it and take care of it
    2
  5456. There’s a trending problem with the steering shaft getting stiff that could be the issue
    2
  5457. Hi! So the steering would need to be checked but before that check the front tire pressures. The noise could’ve been a bent backing plate or a rock stuck that fell off now.
    2
  5458. Personally on ball joints I would stick with oem. Price is high but it’s worth it. You can go aftermarket if on a budget
    2
  5459. It is likely out at this point. The price for the alignment is high. I would call around a few dealerships and compare prices.
    2
  5460. I hear you. Sometimes parts availability is an issue and you find yourself in a crunch just to get it done
    2
  5461. dhg111 thank you for your comment! The sway bar bushings are common on your car to wear out. Usually they’re either worn where they make clunking noise over bumps which is less common than squeaking noise over uneven roads especially when the weather is cold. Their cost of replacement is low. If I may ask what was the reason they recommended replacement?
    2
  5462. Hi Victor! Honestly some of these products might work but they’re not magic. Rubber parts will eventually get old and need addressing
    2
  5463. Hi! Thank you for watching my videos. Wd40 helps a lot of suspension components stay fresh so it wouldn’t hurt
    2
  5464. Hi! It wouldn’t hurt to treat them but really they have a life and then they’ll get dry and start wearing so I would spend too much on any treatment
    2
  5465. That’s a whole different Story 😂😂😂 and since we are car care nuts we tend to do that.... ALOT!
    2
  5466. Thank you Ahmad! Awesome comment. We don’t have state inspections in Illinois. That I guess is where you’re forced to take care of them but in reality if you don’t especially on the ball joints they will keep going until the end of the cars life without issues
    2
  5467. Not the greatest sports car. But as a car it’s basically a 2 door ls430. Built like a tank and last a very long time
    2
  5468. The SC430 was deemed a failure as a sports car which in honesty it wasn’t very good in that department but reliability and build quality it’s basically a 2 door LS430
    2
  5469. Hi! Do you have any codes?
    2
  5470. Hi! The ES350. Not as smooth as the old LS but close
    2
  5471. Hi! Not really simple brake replacement
    2
  5472. Hi! I use a snap on one. Need to test some more economical models for diy
    2
  5473. Hi! Honestly sound insulation is engineered to work and takes a lot to actually make it work. Installing sound deadening will help but it won’t do miracles
    2
  5474. Hi! I did a full review of the LS500 find it here https://youtu.be/IEic2kFRTfA
    2
  5475. Hi! I did review the Lexus LS500 thinking of how it holds to old ones. Search car care nut LS500 to find that review. In short it’s ok but lacks the presence that the old ones have
    2
  5476. Hi! This model has a timing belt
    2
  5477. Hi! At the moment comments or join the livestream
    2
  5478. If the spring has the correct specifications for the car then it shouldn’t affect the strut
    2
  5479. Hi Michael! I would lean Underneath the car and have some sit in the car and put you hand on each suspension component starting with the sway bar links to see if it’s the source. When you’re at the component that is the source you’ll feel the squeak loud.
    2
  5480. Just an example I used.
    2
  5481. I would get a new strut and mount if you’re removing it.
    2
  5482. It depends on the condition of the mount. If they didn’t replace it was likely good which makes the drop of the strut interesting..
    2
  5483. Hi! I would replace both to keep the ride quality even.
    2
  5484. You’d want to check the cars actual ride height. Email me for details because checking it in the wrong spot or over an uneven surface could give you the wrong reading.
    2
  5485. Hi! I don’t have personal experience with a specific brand of aftermarket radios however on your 4Runner it’s very simple to install one. Plenty of options aftermarket for apple car play and android auto.
    2
  5486. Hi! The suspension is different namely the struts and springs. However if you have larger wheels those could contribute to the rough ride more than the struts
    2
  5487. Hi! I don’t know how I feel about those machines. If you have no concerns driving then I would let them be. When struts go bad you’ll feel them driving for sure
    2
  5488. Hi! I would check struts and sway bar links
    2
  5489. Hi! It will be trial and error with aftermarket ones. Monroe seems to be the worst for Toyota’s. KYB is better
    2
  5490. Hi! Thank you for watching my video. The sequoia is a bit smoother than the 4Runner but it’s still a body on frame truck and can be a bit bouncy. I would test drive different trims and see what suits your liking best. I think the TRD pro is awesome in the sequoia.
    2
  5491. There are a few differences. Some are for SE and some for XLE
    2
  5492. Hi! Honestly I don’t have experience with them to speak of.
    2
  5493. That’s something will be coming in the distant future. Part of a different series coming soon.
    2
  5494. They usually make noise over bumps when the bushing is worn. Replace them as needed
    2
  5495. I would reinstall the oem struts back.
    2
  5496. I would get the tires road force balanced. Toyota’s are very sensitive to road force and a regular balance will not check road force
    2
  5497. Amedeo Bafadl thank you! Regarding your Camry I highly doubt it’s suspension related. It is more likely tire wheel related. Were the tires road force balanced?
    2
  5498. The three 17 nuts are at the bottom of the side engine mount the one you see through the wheel well behind the wheel
    2
  5499. It’s possible that a wheel speed sensor was damaged. I would check it for trouble codes first and go from there
    2
  5500. Toyota does not sell the strut fully assembled. you'll need to assemble it.
    2
  5501. Hi Marcos! Thank you for watching my channel! So Bilstein shocks are actually the original oem supplier for Tacoma shocks. I would use them for sure.
    2
  5502. Hi! If this is a Camry model then yes it’s possible that it’s affected and there are updated parts to fix it
    2
  5503. Hi! Bent wheels possibly? Rotate the tires and see if it moves. Also does the vibration happen on acceleration or just by getting over 65?
    2
  5504. They are relatively reliable and simple really.
    2
  5505. Hi! It has electric steering and no adjustments. Perhaps a full suspension inspection is needed
    2
  5506. Hi! If it’s not an extreme lift you should be ok. Will void warranty on issues caused by it
    2
  5507. Hi! I don’t have a video on compressing struts yet but I will have one in the future.
    2
  5508. Honestly I’ve had ok luck with KYB but you could still get bad ones. If you want the best ride then oem is the way to go but of course it’s very expensive. I would try a different brand quick strut if the oem cost is out of your budget
    2
  5509. Honestly Richard this car will do that. Mine did that and it drove me crazy but that’s how the suspension is setup on that car. I wish you don’t spend money chasing this issue as you’ll end up hating the otherwise very good car. One thing that slightly helped but not significant was switching to hard tires like Bridgestone turanzas. Terrible tires in my opinion for that car but it seemed to help a bit.
    2
  5510. Hi Richard! Thank you for watching my channel. I don’t think you’re crazy, I’ve actually owned the exact same car and know exactly what you mean. Let me ask you a few questions. Was it always like that? And what brand tires do you have?
    2
  5511. That’s a possibility however working with Toyota’s original struts that’s not common at all. And bouncing and rebounding are noticeable concerns. My main focus on that was not to go and replace struts just “because” without a concern.
    2
  5512. If it’s bouncy likely the struts are not working from age.
    2
  5513. Likely someone has done something for that. Look online as I remember there was a company that did that. If I remember the website I’ll post it
    2
  5514. Hi! That is common with a lot of Toyota models. It doesn’t cause damage. It gets stuck in the bump stop
    2
  5515. I would. It will make for an interesting handling when one strut is old and one is new on one axle
    2
  5516. Hi! xLE struts and springs
    2
  5517. Hi! Thank you for the video suggestion! So yes you’d want to grease the fittings however I see many people overdo it and end up with grease slinging all over the place. So grease the fitting every 15k not every oil change
    2
  5518. Hi! The hose can be accessed on the passenger side wheel well. And the foam you spray and wait then let it drain
    2
  5519. Yes you can.
    2
  5520. Hi! I would change it every 30k miles
    2
  5521. I would need the vin number for that. You can go to parts.Toyota.com enter your vin and search for wiper rubber and it will come up
    2
  5522. Amedeo Bafadl I’m glad I could help! You can sometimes get the original inserts cheaper online! Always shop around. Email if you need part no’s
    2
  5523. Hi! Yes, there’s a front differential and a transfer case that also have fluids that are replaced at the same time as the rear differential
    2
  5524. Thank you for watching! On my personal cars you know one of them is a money pit. The other one is my “toy” car if you would which is featured in one tool review I did. And my dream car would be a Toyota 2000gt or Mercedes 300sl gullwing
    2
  5525. Yes if you purchase wiper inserts they from Toyota direct they will always be the same as the ones from the factory. The wiper blades can be the sight line which are not the factory ones
    2
  5526. Hi! Using a legitimate source is important. Using some dealerships online websites or parts.Toyota.com Unknown sellers that give you prices that are 1/3 MSRP prices is the question mark ones
    2
  5527. Hi! With high heat 75w90 might be better.
    2
  5528. For manufacturing honestly. With a lift you can access it but on the ground it’s a bit harder
    2
  5529. Hi! It can be a bit hard to reach as it’s between the transmission and the frame
    2
  5530. I have. Here it is https://youtu.be/adRFPUFJDoo
    2
  5531. Hi! I would change the transmission fluid on manuals every 30k miles and 80w will work as well. And the compressor oil doesn’t need replacement if there’s no concern with the system.
    2
  5532. Hi! The first one for 21
    2
  5533. Thank you for your video suggestions. I plan to do more videos on different maintenance on the new engine in the future
    2
  5534. For the transfer case and differential I would find some 75w90 Mobil one synthetic and that should do it.
    2
  5535. I hear you. Take your time on that procedure and get familiar with the light first. Then once you’re comfortable with that. Proceed to draining the fluid and checking the level.
    2
  5536. Sorry about that I must’ve missed the comment. The procedure is the exact same for your 2016 highlander. Just practice the process of the light before you drain the fluid to make sure you see how it works
    2
  5537.  @ksn1150  Your transmission fluid is going to be Toyota ATF WS and I would just drain and fill it no need for a filter on Toyotas. Heres a video for the replacement procedure for your highlander. It's very important to set the transmission fluid level correct so you won't have issues. https://youtu.be/eRxSu4-4ojo
    2
  5538.  @ksn1150  They take the same fluid and I would get 2-3 for each. Likely you'll end up using less but that would be on the same side.
    2
  5539. @KSN I would say around 2-3 quarts per max. You likely will not need this much but this is an estimation. For the transmission You'd likely want to buy around 4-5 quarts that should be more than enough. Whatever you don't use return and you're good to go. Also buy washers from the dealership for the transfer case and differential they will need 2 each which are a few bucks. Same for the transmission.
    2
  5540. Hi! Low oil temperature or pressure?
    2
  5541. Hi! You shouldn’t have an issue using the same for both
    2
  5542. We’ve used 75w90 synthetic on transfer cases on 4runners for years never had a single issue. If you can get a hold of 75w sure but don’t overpay for it.
    2
  5543. In your RAV4 the front differential is part of the transmission. When you replace the transmission fluid you also replace the differential fluid
    2
  5544. Hi! You’d want to have a limited slip additive with the oil. Otherwise you’ll have chatter on turns
    2
  5545. Yes
    2
  5546. I don’t see a reason why the oil needs to be changed as a maintenance item. I honestly wouldn’t do anything with the ac system refrigerant or oil unless there’s a problem.
    2
  5547. Hi! It could be grease from the driveshaft being thrown around. If that’s not the case then it’s not normal and needs to be fixed if it’s a large enough Leak
    2
  5548. Yes there are gaskets for all the plugs
    2
  5549. GL5 is compatible with gl4 so using GL5 is good
    2
  5550. That’s very well said! But in the case of the differential you didn’t go too long. I recommend it replaced at 30k because from my experience around that mileage is when I start seeing the fluid get dark with some grit in it. It would be a different case if the car was at 130k with the original fluid. That’s a very good price from the dealership!
    2
  5551. Thanks! I’m glad you enjoy the videos!
    2
  5552. On your Awd Prius it’s every 60-90k with Toyota ATF WS
    2
  5553. Thank you! On that mode Avalon I’d avoid 2005-2006 they had some issues with timing gears and oil leaks. 2007-2009 are good with random but not too common external head gasket leaks. 2010-2012 is best ones to buy. Common things on these are oil leaks and power steering leaks. If everything is dry they’re otherwise very solid cars
    2
  5554. We’ve always used 75w90 Mobil one synthetic and never had issues.
    2
  5555. It’s not needed and if it’s not broke don’t fix it honestly.
    2
  5556. Hi! The 86 will need the oil labeled LSD
    2
  5557. I would replace it every 30-60 k miles. It’s very cheap and easy to replace the fluid on your manual transmission.
    2
  5558. You’re welcome! I have briefly. It’s kinda of a grey area. You can change it if it looks dark
    2
  5559. Hi! So the rear differential and the transfer case is for the AWD model only. Your sienna has a front differential but it’s part of the transmission so when you replace the transmission fluid you also replace the differential fluid. So you don’t have to worry about the differential or the transfer case. Just the transmission fluid
    2
  5560. That is a complete wiper no other parts needed
    2
  5561. Honestly I would have to listen to the whining noise to tell you if it’s normal or not. The 4Runner does have somewhat of a loud engine though.
    2
  5562. Hi hector. You’d have to measure your current ones and match up something from another Toyota mode that has the same size. Measure the length of your current ones. Do you have another Toyota car that has the new style wiper blades?
    2
  5563. Hi! Teflon is not high temp. You can use a small amount of fipg which is toyotas sealer
    2
  5564. Ha! You beat @newbies work on cars this time! And technically speaking I was first 🤣 j/k thanks for your comment!
    2
  5565. I would get them done. The issue here is you have metal shaving floating in the fluid and you’d want them out to prolong the life of the transfer case and the differential. I would get the fluid replaced and you’ll be good to go
    2
  5566. Hi! They are rubber
    2
  5567. Hi! I would head over parts.Toyota.com and enter your vin then search for spark plugs to find the correct ones.
    2
  5568. Hi David. Yes the spark plugs in your Prius are 120k I would change them at 120k they look in good shape indicating a healthy running engine but I’d still replace them.
    2
  5569. Simak Mehmood since you’re not sure about the history I would replace the spark plugs change the engine and hybrid system coolant. Also inspect the hybrid fan filter and clean as needed to make sure everything is up to date on maintenance. The squeak from brakes will need an in person inspection to see what’s wrong. I doubt you have any suspension issues as Avalon hybrids of that year are very reliable.
    2
  5570. It wouldn’t hurt but it’s not something that is not a must.
    2
  5571. The new v6 is good so far although we’ve a few odds and ends with it like coolant and oil leaks but overall it’s good.
    2
  5572.  @joshuaread3849  Since you're doing this DIY I wouldn't waste money on replacing coils especially if they're original. If it ain't broke don't fix it! If a coil goes out one day then replace it. I recommend OEM or a good brand aftermarket like Denso which essentially is the same as OEM should you ever need to replace a coil.
    2
  5573. Hi! I haven’t really looked into the oem supplier of the oil filters for Toyota. Mann filters are good. I use them on my non Toyota products
    2
  5574. Hi Julio. Your 2018 RAV4 doesn’t have a CVT. The hybrids used an ECVt which is different and that uses WS as well.
    2
  5575. They should be iridium. Email me your vin number so I can look them up by part no
    2
  5576. Spark plugs every 120k miles or 10 years. Brake fluid needs to be tested for moisture content but every 3 years or so is the average
    2
  5577. Hi Marcos, On Akebono I think they are good but not better than oem for Toyota. And I notice sometimes you can get oem pads for the same price as some akebono pads so I’d ask what’s the point? Might as well go oem
    2
  5578. That’s a very good question. The answer is yes and no. The older ones were more reliable but they were also ancient. Very basic so not much can go wrong. The newer ones are more complex and advanced. But the newer ones, given how complicated they are, they are very reliable. Maybe not neck to neck with the older ones but they are also much nicer with a lot more features.
    2
  5579. Hi! At this age it wouldn’t hurt to replace it
    2
  5580. Somewhat complicated. The back bank is more involved than the front. Can be a DIY job but a bit more involved than the average DIY jobs
    2
  5581. The loud noise could be the variable valve timing gears or could be actually carbon build up. I would need to hear the noise it makes. Also carbon cleaning is a good idea for this engine
    2
  5582. Hi! You can try some grease between the pad and the shim
    2
  5583. Could you email me your VIN no as there might be more than one option for parts.
    2
  5584. Hi! White is normal combustion. Here’s a video to show you a normal spark plug https://youtu.be/IAb9b3Hrea0
    2
  5585. Depends on your market some things might be slightly different however generally they are the same
    2
  5586. Hi! I would grind the area where the fit kit sits to clean it up and make it smooth again so the pads won’t stick. Here’s a video that would help https://youtu.be/t7W7uLYeLKo
    2
  5587. You can
    2
  5588. Hi! 2011 Tacoma 4 cylinder should come with iridiums
    2
  5589. With Toyota dot 4 is good
    2
  5590. Hi’ honestly any brand of dot 3 or dot 4 will work just get a quote for original fluid and try to go lower
    2
  5591. Hi! Usually from the brakes. Honestly it’s not an actual issue just annoying. Cleaning the brake pads well and lubricating the back of the pads and slide pins should help
    2
  5592. Hi! Try changing the gas station you fill from and stay with one brand and see after a few fill ups if it improves
    2
  5593. Thank you for watching my videos! Honestly I wouldn’t waste my time and money on any aftermarket pads on your RAV4 prime. Sure the aftermarket company will sell you a wonderful set of pads that your car really don’t need. The pads on your RAV4 prime are in my opinion the best for it and likely will last over 100k miles without breaking a sweat. With the help of regen breaking they don’t even overheat or work hard. I wouldn’t bother and instead buy a set of oem pads for your daughters regular RAV4 and save the rest of your money on some wax or ceramic coating for the new car to protect it. I do plan on making videos on the RAV4 prime starting with an upcoming series on how Toyota plug in hybrids work. I am in the early stages of writing the series then I move into filming. Likely sometime next year.
    2
  5594. flagmichael Yep! Only parts that has actual Toyota part no. So far are the reverse lights and belt molding for the doors.
    2
  5595. Hi! I could see that however I would follow the recommended 120k by Toyota
    2
  5596. Thank you for watching my video! The silver ones are not coated. The black ones are.
    2
  5597. flagmichael very true! You’d be surprised at the price of original ones even full retail price! And you can find them even cheaper online
    2
  5598. Hi! Looks like 04465-AZ114 is the one for your car. If you want go to parts.Toyota.com and enter your vin to verify
    2
  5599. Hi! For emissions warranty
    2
  5600. Hi! Most toyotas are 120k however the new v6 engine went back to 60k plugs so in your case stick with the 60k
    2
  5601. Hi! Ignition leak through the spark plug body. Not a major issue but if you see it replace the plugs
    2
  5602. Hi! It wouldn’t be a bad idea to replace all 3
    2
  5603. The Camry is 120k. The 2013 Tacoma every 30k miles
    2
  5604. Hi! That is an exception to the 120k but for emission warranty maintenance only
    2
  5605. Hi Robert! Honestly it’s a common sense car that has a good powertrain. Not a new engine and transmission. It’s been around for a few years and have no issues. Just keep up the maintenance with these and you’ll hit 200k miles and wonder why you haven’t bought a toyota earlier!
    2
  5606. Hi! Yes you can
    2
  5607. Yes you can just make sure they’re he correct ones
    2
  5608. Hi! On your 4runner you have iridium plugs so 120k mile interval
    2
  5609. Hi! You cannot gap iridium plugs! They get damaged. If the gap is off for whatever reason replace the plug
    2
  5610. Hi! Take it to your dealership there’s a new TSB for that
    2
  5611. They do that for weight savings which is eventually for emissions....
    2
  5612. Hi! I would stick with 2010-2011
    2
  5613. Hi! Some do some don’t on shims depends on the model. They perhaps will make a slight difference in braking but not something significant where it’s worth it
    2
  5614. That works just make sure to let them dry before reinstalling them
    2
  5615. Hi! If they’re clean and not breaking away from rust then yea reuse them. If they’re crumpling I would replace them
    2
  5616. Hi! You can use iridium
    2
  5617. Hi! It’s over 10 years old I would consider replacement.
    2
  5618. Interesting. When it seizes. Does the lever return normally or it feels odd going back down?
    2
  5619. Hi! Yes it does. It’s a 4 cylinder engine with 4 spark plugs. So all gasoline cars will have spark plugs, usually the same amount of cylinders. Diesel engines don’t have spark plugs.
    2
  5620. I would change it every 60k miles or 6 years with Toyota ATF WS
    2
  5621. Hi Jim. The average pad life varies by model. On your Rav4 typically around 30-40k so you are already way past that and that has to do with your driving style. I see some go a lot more than others on the same models.
    2
  5622. A video detailing the procedure for the calipers is coming soo.
    2
  5623. Thank you! I’m glad I could help! Thank you for watching my videos!
    2
  5624. Hi! It has 30k plugs
    2
  5625. Hi! If you live in the rust belt that would be a great idea every year or two
    2
  5626. You got it! If you’re shopping for a highlander I will have a buying guide series starting soon for highlanders
    2
  5627. It is a big issue unfortunately. The timing gears on this year highlander is supposed to lock when you shut off the car. It’s normal for them to drain the oil inside over time. So the gear remains locked until oil pressures builds up and unlocks it. Problem is they don’t lock because the lock pin gets stuck. So every time it rattles it’s hitting the vanes inside the gear against each other and we’ve seen some extreme cases where they come apart. It’s a very expensive repair to replace them as the engine has to come out of the car.
    2
  5628. Hi! Here’s a video series I made on how to replace the brakes https://youtu.be/mwEOP9Tobw8
    2
  5629. Hi! What’s the year and model? Also does the green light turn on on the SOS button?
    2
  5630. Hi! It does reset a few things but they relearn on their own as you drive
    2
  5631. It’s not a special menu. When the car is parked and running and you are making a call through the car you’ll see the option to change the transmit volume. Change it up and down until it gets better
    2
  5632. Hi! Have them attempt to change the transmit volume which appears when you are making a call from the car and it’s parked
    2
  5633. Hi! It is in the fuse block inside the car.
    2
  5634. Sorry I missed the 2nd gen highlander. No training on these. When you make a call does the other party hear you well?
    2
  5635. Hi! Did you try to train the voice recognition?
    2
  5636. Hi! Your rav4 has an older system and it’s a bit different. Do you have the same issue?
    2
  5637. Hi! There’s a software update not to resolve this issue if it’s reoccurring. Also disconnecting the battery shouldn’t cause any issues
    2
  5638. Hi! It’s likely going to be in the fuse block inside the car. Consult your owners manual for an exact location
    2
  5639. Agreed. Just wish they keep the suspension the same then it’d be perfect!
    2
  5640. Hi! Good car normal things apply service history pre purchase inspection
    2
  5641. Thank you for watching!
    2
  5642. The current IS has no Toyota equivalent
    2
  5643. Thank you!
    2
  5644. Hi! You can run 87 but at your own risk. Honestly I would run premium
    2
  5645. It’s actually a very good car in my opinion. It’s not a sports car in any way shape or form.
    2
  5646. Hi! Either an RX or GX. RX gets better gas mileage the GX is higher but has worse gas mileage. Drive the two and see which one you like. Both are very reliable
    2
  5647. Hi! Slight power increase on the Lexus usually is it
    2
  5648. And he’s very right about it! Thank you for watching.
    2
  5649. Honda and Acura are very good. I think Lexus is nicer than acura in my personal opinion
    2
  5650. Parts and labor through a Lexus dealership will be higher. But most parts can be purchased through a Toyota dealership for less. And some toyota dealerships will work on Lexus models for a lower labor rate
    2
  5651. They are identical. I would go with the one to at you like more and the one that fits your budget
    2
  5652. It was definitely harsher than the non F sport.
    2
  5653. Hi! The fluid needs testing. At this young age I doubt it needs replacement
    2
  5654. Hi! I would actually cut that interval in half
    2
  5655. Hi! These are generally very good SUVs. They’re very old school. Terrible gas mileage and rust is about the only issue that would deter me from buying one if they’re used
    2
  5656. Speak with the manager about this. This is an intermittent issue so they might want to have the car for a few days to drive it and see if they can get it to happen and diagnose it in the moment
    2
  5657. Hi! This one will be interesting to diagnose. Usually when this happens there’s either an intermittent power loss or an intermittent shorting of the 5 volt reference is also possible. Was Toyota involved when you took it to the dealership?
    2
  5658. Yes! Most Lexus hybrids use 100% Toyota hybrid technology which is tried and true
    2
  5659. Hi! The main thing between the RC and ES other than the obvious is that one is front wheel drive based the other one is rear wheel drive based. They will drive very differently.
    2
  5660. Hi! The Yaris in the US is a Mazda these days. In other parts of the world it’s a real Yaris made by Toyota and it’s actually a very good car
    2
  5661. Hi! It’s a good car. Keep up the maintenance
    2
  5662. Hi! The downstream sensors don’t contribute to fuel trim at all. A vacuum leak is possible in this case. Or in some cases a dirty mass air flow.
    2
  5663. Honestly it’s a matter of taste and priorities in a car. Toyota and Lexus models are both not exciting to drive for car guys. But they do one thing that majority of people want. They get you from A to B safely, simply and most importantly reliably. Even car guys need to commute to work and sometimes disconnect from the car. And that’s where they really shine.
    2
  5664. Hi! Was the pump installed correctly? Did you install it yourself? If you did, did you have a hard time getting the pump to go on?
    2
  5665. Hi! Don’t like the turbo engine. Love the hybrid model and the rest of the car
    2
  5666. Now that’s an interesting one! I do have an opinion of scion! I’ll save it for when I do an exact similar video for scion
    2
  5667. Yes sir
    2
  5668. None honestly! The es350 is the closest because the Avalon is also very close to the Camry.
    2
  5669. The first signs surfaced around 2007-2010 era
    2
  5670. Hi! The LS430
    2
  5671. The nx250 isn’t turbocharged and the run flat tires can be switched out to non run flats
    2
  5672. Hi! This is a quick jack
    2
  5673. Working through the emails, a bit backed up I’ll get back to you soon
    2
  5674. Hi! Cleaning works but at their super low cost I would just replace it when you do spark plugs
    2
  5675. Hi! With the spark plugs
    2
  5676. Hi! Yes this works for that one As well. A bit tighter but still possible
    2
  5677. Hi! The seal will need to be fixed and replacing the pcv would be a good idea
    2
  5678. Depends on the shop.
    2
  5679. Hi! Honestly toyota hoses usually last a very long time But everything rubber as they age will eventually get brittle and go. Nothing can stop that
    2
  5680. Hi! Yes the same
    2
  5681. Hi! It’s not specified but with the spark plugs is a good idea
    2
  5682. Hi! Every 5k miles
    2
  5683. Hi! The 2020 Camry 4 cylinder is behind the intake manifold. You’ll need to remove it
    2
  5684. Hi! It’s possible it’s a pcv valve. But usually the 10k mile oil change interval is what causes oil consumption in the 2AR engine
    2
  5685. Hi! That one you have to remove the intake
    2
  5686. Hi! You can
    2
  5687. Hi! On that model you need to remove the intake which is easy
    2
  5688. Hi! They want you to remove the intake manifold
    2
  5689. Hi! I would need to hear it but some clicking sounds as the car is turning on is normal as various relays come on
    2
  5690. Hi! It will flash fast for turn signals everything else you’re good.
    2
  5691. At the back of the wheel you’ll clearly see where the wheel is a made and a part no.
    2
  5692. Hi! These are harder to tell. Likely you’ll tell from The stamping on the back of the wheel spokes.
    2
  5693. Hi! You can run them until 120k in non direct injected engines
    2
  5694. Hi! Fram makes good filters. However personally I would buy original oil filters.
    2
  5695. At this mileage I would be wary of flushes. If anything I’d either do a drain and fill or just leave it alone.
    2
  5696. A Toyota dealership can change the fluid but sometimes they don’t want to work on lexus even though it’s the same. How many miles do you have?
    2
  5697. Parts.lexus.com
    2
  5698. Highly doubt a major retailer like Walmart would have counterfeit parts. Likely it’s oem
    2
  5699. Hi brother! So the true start batteries are sold by Toyota dealerships. They’re good and usually supplied by interstate. The Panasonic ones are not available for purchase as far as I know. No real difference in longevity though.
    2
  5700. The small amount I spent to buy these parts is worth it to alert people of counterfeit parts. Thank you for watching.
    2
  5701. Hi! Just because it looks better doesn’t mean it’s better in my opinion. Many will say a lot of things about Toyota filters but using Toyota filters folks have gotten hundreds of thousands of miles from their engines without issues.
    2
  5702. Honestly the dealership eventually is it. Some dealerships will sell online. I’ve heard Walmart is sticking some Toyota original filters as well
    2
  5703. Hi! Personally I’d rather keep things original. There’s nothing wrong with the canister filters if you get used to servicing them
    2
  5704. If you have 120k miles then replace them
    2
  5705. Hi! There are 2 sizes and styles depending on your engine. Note that the plastic ones will last the life of the car if they are never overtightened or dropped
    2
  5706. I personally don’t have experience with them honestly.
    2
  5707. Toyotapartsdeal.com is a good one
    2
  5708. Ok so the F2 is the older number they were a bit taller than the N1. No issue at all using the F2. But they are no longer made so after a while you will switch to the N1 which is the same size as the original one
    2
  5709. The part number on the filter you bought. Was it 90915-YZZF2 or 90915-YZZN1?
    2
  5710. Was is the F2 filter or N1?
    2
  5711. Hi! Mobile one is and filters from Walmart are original.
    2
  5712. Hi! On your RAV4 the oil filter is either 90915-YZZF2 or 90915-YZZN1
    2
  5713. Which year and engine?
    2
  5714. Hi! If it’s from a legitimate source they are the parts supplier for Toyota and their parts are high quality
    2
  5715. Hey brother. I wouldn’t worry about aftermarket parts that are already in the car and working. For as long as they work good and not give you issues they’re good in my book. Alternators are hit and miss with duralast. They either work well or they don’t work from day one. I’m guessing the one you got is working good so far so I wouldn’t worry about it. The battery I would keep and repurchase if the price was good, it’s just a battery and most batteries are made by the same company with a different sticker.
    2
  5716. I am not aware of counterfeit fluids but I wouldn’t be surprised if there is
    2
  5717. Hello!
    2
  5718. You can but the oil capacity will change. I personally wouldn’t as the F2 filter or N1 filter is not that enough
    2
  5719. Hi Joseph! So that N1 filter recently came out and is going to replace the F2 not sure why they went with the smaller size, they wouldn’t do that if it wasn’t ok.
    2
  5720. Typical things for its age. I would do the math and see what your options are. That’s a lot of money to spend. If you feel like you got your money’s worth out of this car I’d sell it as it still has value even with the work it needs and get a newer one.
    2
  5721. Hi! Honestly depending on what it needs it might not be worth fixing at this point. You don’t want to spend more on the car than it’s worth.
    2
  5722. Yes
    2
  5723. Parts.Toyota.com
    2
  5724. Hi! You’d have to reuse the filter tray as the new filter doesn’t come with it
    2
  5725. Dealerships won’t use counterfeit parts because they get in serious problems with Toyota if they do. Independent shops can do that, but again good shops will always be good shops regardless if they’re a dealership or independent. That’s why having a trusted shop work on your car is always a good idea.
    2
  5726. I honestly don’t have experience with aftermarket u joints for Tacoma’s. I’ve always used oem and never had issues.
    2
  5727. Hi! I would replace the drive belts. T-belt , idlers, tensioner cam and crank seals and water pump. Idlers are not a must, I would check them for noise. Also the tensioner if not leaking you can reuse. They are very well made and rarely go out. I’d rather you keep the originals than use an aftermarket honestly.
    2
  5728. Hi! If the seller is a Toyota dealership with their name on the store then that’s likely safe.
    2
  5729. TRW is hit and miss honestly. K&N is ok. No mechanic that I know likes the reusable K&N filter including myself. Too much work to clean for very little or no benefit
    2
  5730. Thanks man! Hope you’re doing well.
    2
  5731. If your Camry is under the fuel pump recall I would get it replaced as soon as possible.
    2
  5732. Hi! Although that consumption falls within normal limits I’d try an engine oil cleaner and see if it improves.
    2
  5733. Fram is a good company. Walmart doesn’t sell counterfeit
    2
  5734. Hi! I haven’t run into counterfeit oil yet but you never know. Better look into the buyer or just buy it from a dealership
    2
  5735. Not sure about the manufacturing but I’d check the filters well. That price is a bit on the low side.
    2
  5736. Hi! I have not yet but I wouldn’t be surprised if there is
    2
  5737. If you have valid proof that a Toyota authorized dealership uses questionable parts I would notify Toyota directly.
    2
  5738. Dealerships can’t sell counterfeit. They loose their franchise agreement if they do
    2
  5739. In black please 😆
    2
  5740. This is an acquired skill 😀 you’ll know if it was good or too much on the next oil change
    2
  5741. Hi! Some guys have hands of steel and crank on that filter by hand super tight! I see this from time to time. No need to crank on it super tight!
    2
  5742. It should be 100% not counterfeit. Dealerships get their original parts directly through Toyota
    2
  5743. Hi! When the filter is installed in the housing the ends are sealed off by the filter on one side and by the sub pan on the other side
    2
  5744. Best place to buy real ones is either the dealership or parts.Toyota.com. Some dealerships will have their own online store
    2
  5745. Changing the fluid won’t help. It’s a whine noise from the final drive. Hard to explain but it’s more of a harmonic noise travel than an actual issue. I wouldn’t worry about it at all.
    2
  5746. Hi! That is likely the viscous coupler in the rear differential. Simple diagnosis with the car lifted up in the air. If that’s not it then I would listen to the transmission if it’s more of a whine than a hum. If it’s from the transmission honestly I wouldn’t worry about it. The whine from the transmission is more common with v6 models.
    2
  5747. Hi! I haven’t really. I’ll look into them.
    2
  5748. Hi! Supersessions typically mean the part has been updated to make it better
    2
  5749. Have you tried parts.Toyota.com? Find the part numbers then go to partsvoice.com and see which dealerships have them in stock
    2
  5750. I personally buy the factory part whenever possible except filters as the value ones are good. On brakes they value line is good. Worse case with them is noise if not installed properly
    2
  5751. So your corolla will not have a serviceable filter. There’s a small sock filter at the bottom of the fuel pump but that’s not serviceable and will last the life of the car.
    2
  5752. Hi! If it’s a dealership that clearly state their name then it’s good. If it’s a random seller and the parts are questionable then it could be counterfeit.
    2
  5753. Hi! The 2019 changed where you need authorization. Not sure about the aftermarket world but in Toyota land you need to log in to their website and get a number similar to when you lose all keys
    2
  5754. Not really. Plenty of tall guys I work with.
    2
  5755. Thank you Jose! Mercedes techs would probably feel strange working at a Toyota dealership. Things are extremely fast paced and the amount of waiters are incredible compared to Benz. My personal record so far was a waiter torque converter replacement on a Camry. Granted it is a 3 hour job but still
    2
  5756. Thank you for the suggestion! I’ll look into it
    2
  5757. Hi! Likely won’t be servicing tires for some time. Hard to get good deals on tires and there’s quite a bit of back end work to sell tires. Maybe in the future
    2
  5758. Hi! Yes for now we don’t service tires that might change in the future
    2
  5759. I primarily focus on toyota, Lexus and scion but on case to case basis will work on other makes and models
    2
  5760. Hi! You’ll want to check the ac charge level
    2
  5761. This sounds like an issue with the immobilizer possibly. Hard to bypass and figure out without looking at the car
    2
  5762. Hi! If it’s not cranking at all try to jump start it, it might a weak battery
    2
  5763. You got it. Something is in the works. No car will leave this shop without my final approval.
    2
  5764. Hi! I’m dedicating to the shop at this time
    2
  5765. Interesting! Thank you for sharing. What’s your mileage?
    2
  5766. Hi! Personally I’d go with the limited but that likely cost more and if you don’t need the extra features the LE is your more economical choice
    2
  5767. Hi! Yes I’ve seen a few isolated issues with noise. You can attempt to spray some white lithium grease on the shaft of the strut but your car should be under warranty if that’s the case I wouldn’t do anything just take a video of the noise and take it to your dealership
    2
  5768. Hi! A car made in May of 2015 is a late 15. A car made in 2014 for the 2015 model year is an early one. So going with 2015-2016 is the safest bet. With 2014s you’d want to spend more time to check the car to make sure it doesn’t have any issues.
    2
  5769. Hi Sarah. If you live in an area where snow is the norm I’d go for AWD otherwise FWD is good.
    2
  5770. The 2020 model is beautiful! I wouldn’t have regrets buying it! The engine and transmission is the same of course so far without issues. The car is too new for any chronic issues to appear but usually since it’s a carryover Powertrain it could have all the common issues fixed
    2
  5771. Good car. High price but with the current market that’s how it is
    2
  5772. A similar buying guide for your car comes out today for the 2008-2013 highlander and highlander hybrid
    2
  5773. That’s coming next week likely next Tuesday for the 2011-2020 sienna
    2
  5774. I would have your mechanic check the rear bank exhaust manifold shield next remove it and take it for a drive and go from there.
    2
  5775. Hi! On your highlander there’s no serviceable fuel filter. The strainer on the fuel pump is not a service item.
    2
  5776. Yes! Some of these issues go to sienna models. I never forget the sienna! Video dedicated to 2011-2020 sienna information coming next Tuesday
    2
  5777. Hi! Similar issues but the hybrid model has much less issues than the non hybrid
    2
  5778. Hi! The new highlander has been doing great so far with a very smooth launch
    2
  5779. Martin Rogers absoloutly! My pleasure.
    2
  5780. There’s a buying guide for the 2013-2018 https://youtu.be/KIAq0M3BUWQ is this the year range you’re looking for?
    2
  5781. I am very biased on this one and likely not the best person to ask. I would go with the Toyota Sienna
    2
  5782. Personally I don’t like the 8 speed transmission so likely I would go with the old one just because of the transmission
    2
  5783. Hi! They suitable for hot weather. A review of the 2020 and up model is coming up very soon. They are also good

  5784. Hi Tom and thank you for watching my channel. That year range highlander is good. Battery failure rates is very low. These cars are really good if taken care of with maintenance. High mileage examples regularly show up without issues. I’d say the hybrid has been a very reliable version of this generation highlander
    2
  5785. It’s of course on the high side but at least that’s a good SUV if it passes an inspection
    2
  5786. Hi! I’ll need to get one to do a video on. You basically set the crank at a specific position as shown on the manual then line up the cut outs and install it
    2
  5787. gibblochea most of the issues I mentioned with cars that sat on the lot are limited to the current times. Most dealerships had laid off most if not all of their sales staff during the pandemic. So there was no one to maintain the cars on the lot. Back in 2013 even though your car sat in the lot it was regularly started and the battery maintained and dealers usually add fuel to keep it from going stale. Most of the car that sat in lots had dead batteries rusted brakes and flat spotted tires because they literally sat still in the same spot for 3-5 months.
    2
  5788. I would drive it and make sure it doesn’t make a loud whining noise. Also when it’s warmed up it doesn’t have a harsh engagement into drive. If it’s good then I’m not concerned.
    2
  5789. The 2016-2018 RAV4 hybrids are also a solid option in my opinion
    2
  5790. Hi! In this generation all the hybrids are really solid. Wouldn’t recommend one year over the other honestly
    2
  5791. Hybrids are solid in this year. No carbon build up because of the dual injection system.
    2
  5792. Hi! Late 2018 is model year. So a 2018 made in 2017 is likely early 2018.
    2
  5793. Hi! How loud is the rattle and has it progressed to Louder over the miles?
    2
  5794. On the driver door jamb. On the upper right corner of the sticker there will be a date mounts and year if it’s built after 06-17 it will be 2018 model and I would say if it’s built in 2018 you’re good
    2
  5795. Hi rob. The 2017 hybrid model is actually a good one as it doesn’t have an 8 speed transmission! So on the brake squeak, it could be air in the system. Try this and see if you can duplicate with the car in ready on and stopped press the brake pedal down hard then let it go and quickly press it again and see if you hear it. On the downhill, when it does that again look at the battery charge level is it full?
    2
  5796. That’s a simple repair if it’s the source of the leak. A small gasket and 4 bolts. I would get it replace it and clean the leak and see if anything else is leaking.
    2
  5797. Hi! At this point likely you have no issues or the issue has already been taken care of. Just know that should you have issues in the future there’s a special policy for your car for an extended warranty from Toyota to take care of you should you have issues with the transmission. They won’t cover the transmission if it has no issues. So if everything is good you’re all set nothing to worry about.
    2
  5798. The highlander will likely be more reliable long term. If keeping it 3-5 years within the realm of their warranty it doesn’t really matter.
    2
  5799. Hi! If you need the space of the highlander then go for it. If not I would keep the Camry as it’s a very good car.
    2
  5800. Hi! The 2019s are good so far after an initial few leaky ones
    2
  5801. They are both good SUVs. I don’t know specifics on the pilot reliability wise
    2
  5802. Nice! Congratulations! These are really good suvs with little maintenance it should last you a long time.
    2
  5803. The 2015 RX450h is really identical to the highlander both hybrid system wise and reliability wise. Choose the one you like more
    2
  5804. Hi! I haven’t seen any leaks on hybrid models. And that’s a good year to buy a hybrid for. Hybrids don’t have the same transmission issues the non hybrid model of that year did
    2
  5805. Hi! The 2014 and 2015 are good as long as you pay attention to the issues I mentioned. If the car checks out good then I would go for it. Keep up the maintenance and you should have it for a long time.
    2
  5806. Hi! It’s preferable that you don’t switch often. But making a switch every once In a while is ok.
    2
  5807. Jimmy Edwards it’s really not a matter of specific miles where the cover will leak. I’ve seen some leak at 5000 miles some at 50k and some have 150k and no leaks.the idea is if you’re under warranty or extended warranty you’d wanna take a quick peek and make sure nothing is leaking
    2
  5808. Hi Jacob. I wouldn’t get rid of the car. I would inquire with your dealership about the extended policy for your transmission. Toyota is offering a very generous extended warranty on the transmission to cover any future issues for a long time. I am not worried about it and at this time if you don’t have any issues likely you are good.
    2
  5809. Hi! I would look at 2015-2016 for the 6 speed and 2018-2019 for 8 speed. If you don’t have use for Awd which I doubt you do in Texas ( no snow ) I would get fwd
    2
  5810. Hi Jennifer! The hybrid model with the 4 cylinder does get ok power because it’s combined with the hybrid system but it does get very good gas mileage compared to the previous model with the V6
    2
  5811. The 2020-2021 highlander has been the most calm new model launch in a while. There’s not much that we’ve seen so far with them. The hybrid has a 4 cylinder paired with the hybrid system which I think is better for mileage.
    2
  5812. Hi! It is a good choice if the car is in good condition and has good service history
    2
  5813. Thank you for watching my video. I have a similar video for the 2013-2018 RAV4 and the 2019+ video coming soon https://youtu.be/KIAq0M3BUWQ
    2
  5814. Dale, the issue with that leak is more of an assembly issue more than an actual problem with the engine design and it’s very random. I’ve seen trucks with 20k miles that are leaking and some with over 200k that are not leaking. I wouldn’t worry about it unless it’s there. And the best part about this leak is it’s not a gushing leak. It starts very little and really takes a very long time to build up. The job is difficult because of the height of the truck and the way it sits in the engine bay, otherwise for an experienced Toyota technician at a dealership it’s just nuts and bolts and some sealer. No real special procedures about this one other than general internal engine cleanliness.
    2
  5815. Hi! My back remembers the pain of doing countless cam tower leaks on the 5.7 in tundras and sequoias. Honestly they are all prone to this leak. Usually surfaces before the factory warranty runs out and as much as it saddens me to say this but I see many technicians look the other way when it comes to this leak. Best way is to look for that leak and make sure it’s taken care of if it even happens
    2
  5816. Thank you for watching! It’s really random with the 1st and 2nd generation. Most of the 3rd and all the 4th generation highlanders are made in North America. That is the information I can find on my side.
    2
  5817. Honestly it shouldn’t go past 1/2 way. Any check engine light? There’s a trending issue with the thermostats at the moment for that generation highlander
    2
  5818. Hi! It does but it’s front facing.
    2
  5819. It will be rougher ride because of the lower profile tires.
    2
  5820. Hi! So yes you can however your Speedo will be slightly off. The ride will be rough and your mpgs will drop slightly
    2
  5821. Honestly I would go with the 2016.
    2
  5822. Hi Timothy. You are correct. Early 2018s are built in 2017
    2
  5823. I agree but on some cars like the highlander it’s even worse
    2
  5824. Hi! Everything they did in the video sounds good but at 18k miles is a bit early. You can go up to 30k and then continue to replace it every 30k miles and you should have no issues.
    2
  5825. Hi! Many things starting with a low refrigerant charge
    2
  5826. @Jusua Nicky Thank you! If you plan to keep your car long I would recommend you replace it. Here's a video I made on how to change the transmission fluid if you're doing it yourself https://youtu.be/eRxSu4-4ojo
    2
  5827. Thank you!
    2
  5828. Glad I could help!
    2
  5829. Hi William! If you plan to keep the car past 5 years I would change it every 5k because it’s then that the benefit will come.
    2
  5830. mana9013 that’s really good to know. Information on my side of this issue is that it’s a software or rather a software incompatibility issue between the phone and the car. Maybe the new SD card has updated software? I’ll look into it to find out. Thank you so much for sharing this tip!
    2
  5831. mana9013 that’s a new one to me. I’ll look into it thank you for your suggestion!
    2
  5832. The highlander is slightly smaller than the sienna. The sienna hybrid is likely best for long trips but it’s also a larger car and best suited for larger families.
    2
  5833. Hi! The highlander will likely be more suited for long trips. The 4Runner is awesome but has less features and more of a very capable truck/ off road
    2
  5834. Try to get the battery tested. If it needs charging then get it charged but if it fails a load test then replace it as it’ll become unreliable
    2
  5835. I would get the battery tested. But first jump start it. You can jump start hybrids of course.
    2
  5836. Hi! Only thing I can think of is likely a weak 12v battery.
    2
  5837. Hi! If it’s not leaking now you are likely good and won’t have issues any time soon. If they don’t leak early then it’s sealed well and possibly will leak when the car is 15+ years old or has well over 250k miles
    2
  5838. Saturday is the day! It’s the next video out.
    2
  5839. Honestly regular fluid changes would help keep things clean with the original magnet. You can go for a stronger magnet without issues but that doesn’t mean you can extend the fluid change interval.
    2
  5840. Hi! A 2018 made in late 2017 is an early one. March 2018 build date is almost later 2018. The dealership can actually look up and verify which transmission you have. If you have the older style then you’d have the extended coverage on it which is good to know how long it is. If you don’t have extended coverage on it then you have the new hardware. The video you referred to is good however you will have those shavings every time after 30k miles that’s why the drain plug has a built in magnet to capture them.
    2
  5841. Hi! Either the sienna, highlander or the Sequioa which I have videos for each.
    2
  5842. Hi! They are directly behind the back seat. The back seat has to come off to access them. The fan vents are underneath the back seat
    2
  5843. If the rotors are original I would find a place to resurface them and you’re good to go. If you have vibration or rust on them that’s excessive then consider changing them. Originals are good but aftermarket is ok if it’s a good quality one.
    2
  5844. Hi! That one you’ll need to drop the headliner unless it goes away if you tilt the sunroof up
    2
  5845. Hi! It’s a hybrid model so only a drain and fill is possible.
    2
  5846. Hi! This doesn’t work for the Camry. If the noise goes away when you tilt the sun roof up then it could woel
    2
  5847. Hi Jeff! I wouldn’t replace the seal if you don’t have issues. This is more of an annoyance than a problem. If you leave the seal with the rattle no further damage will happen
    2
  5848. Some of them do. This issue doesn’t seem related to where it’s made. This one for example is Japanese built
    2
  5849. Hi Marjan! It is actually a foaming glass cleaner. The brand is generic but it can be found in most parts stores
    2
  5850. Hi! They’re good cars if taken care of. Rust is not kind to them so be careful buying a rusty one
    2
  5851. Hi! It would be the same but the 5th gen 4runner might not have the same issue
    2
  5852. Hi! I would use AC in hot climate for battery cooling through the cabin. And AC does affect mileage as it depletes the battery but at a much lower rate than heating in the winter
    2
  5853. These are nice but can be expensive to repair when they eventually need a thing or two
    2
  5854. Advics is oem.
    2
  5855. Hi! On hybrids you can replace them at any time. I would replace it
    2
  5856. Hi! It is epoxy. I highly recommend it. Only con I can think of is it gets a bit slippery when very wet otherwise it’s the best thing. I have really got some use out of it and it’s holding very well
    2
  5857. Either a front timing cover leak or power steering pump. Timing cover leaks are more common
    2
  5858. Hi! This is a good car but might be much for a new driver. It’s too large and harder to see out the back. For new drivers I usually recommend something smaller like a corolla 2005-2008 is a good year range to buy.
    2
  5859. Leather needs regular cleaning and reconditioning to keep it soft. The seats on the Avalon are Lexus quality honestly and it was a surprise to see this one. That is not normal and definitely a sight of bad usage. Your Lexus seats won’t be like this after 10 years. Just every year or so clean them and recondition them
    2
  5860. They can be a bit common with age
    2
  5861. Hi! This month has been a bit tough honestly. Hoping towards the end of January we’ll resume the live stream
    2
  5862. Hi! It’s a remanufactured or rebuilt caliper. So the body of the caliper is original but all the seals are aftermarket
    2
  5863. Hi! It’s called quick jack. They have multiple models this is the biggest one. Highly recommend it if you do frequent work and can justify its price.
    2
  5864. Hi! Yes they do. Techinfo.Toyota.com
    2
  5865. Hi! Interesting. Front or rear axle?
    2
  5866. Email me with the subject Chicago service request. I would love to feature clean and nice cars to use as reference for others watching
    2
  5867. Yeah the mitsu unit really works well. Keeps that garage steady at 68 even when it’s single digit out. The one on the wall is the old one which doesn’t really do anything when you’re below freezing I wouldn’t recommend it
    2
  5868. Quick jack
    2
  5869. Hi! Video hopefully will film late February
    2
  5870. It does. But the additive package on the toyota oil is specifically designed for toyota engines
    2
  5871. Hi! Toyota does have a good track record of reliability and I trust it. This engine has been out in different formats and the technology has been used in other engines so I dont see why not. The turbos will go at some point but that point might be past 200k miles. Time will tell.
    2
  5872. Hi! You can let it idle for long without issues. It will put extra wear of course but nothing excessive. You’ll want to consider that idle time into your oil change interval. The start stop can be disabled but you’ll need to do it everytime you start the engine. The 4WD drive if you engage it every month once should last the life of the truck. Reliability and overall simplicity the non hybrid. Hard to tell on the hybrid batteries as this hybrid system is different. The wastegate issue is a new model issue. I’d wait at least 6 months before considering one to pass the initial issues
    2
  5873. Hi! Possibly not as this engine might be much for the 4runner honestly
    2
  5874. Hi! You should be able to install bags in the springs. Probably will take some time for companies to come out with compatible products
    2
  5875. They seem part of the control arm. Will need to check with parts to see if they come separate
    2
  5876. They’re a bit involved. Will make a video when we get one
    2
  5877. I like both for different reasons. If I was personally buying I’d consider the 2022 but wait up to a year to buy one
    2
  5878. Hi! No regular flooded battery
    2
  5879. Hi! Honestly hard to say with accuracy but knowing toyota I have good hopes.
    2
  5880. Video coming next week on the new NX
    2
  5881. Hi! I will when I get one
    2
  5882. Hi! If we do a similar review of the “old” V8 there’s a few things that’ll make you feeling the same. Toyota is good at making very complicated things last a very long time. The V8 is no different honestly. Been inside of many V8s they’re not exactly simple
    2
  5883. Hi! This one doesn’t. The version in the Lexus LS500 does. The A25A and M20A do have it
    2
  5884. Hi! I would give it a month or so and you’re good to go
    2
  5885. Many ask this question. honestly I don't have an answer other than it was missed
    2
  5886. Hi! That is correct. It doesn’t have a physical actual limited slip
    2
  5887. Hi! Maintenance will be key to reliability here. But looking at their track record, I trust toyota spend enough time testing and making things reliable for a long time.
    2
  5888. Hi! That would be my best guess on the lack of a tow hook and thank you for watching my video! Have a good day.
    2
  5889. Hi! Not that I can see. And yea on the differential
    2
  5890. Hi! It works good but you’d want a good installer to apply it. And eventually they tend to yellow overtime unless you get a very good one
    2
  5891. hi! Part of it is rubber and another part is metal
    2
  5892. That’s a tough choice. The IS500 is very cool
    2
  5893. Hi! I’ll check the rails of the bed. Honestly I had it for a very short time and didn’t check everything on it
    2
  5894. Hi! What you are hearing is normal new model issues that will get resolved. That’s why I usually recommend you wait 3-6 months from the first batch of the new model
    2
  5895. You can go into 4Hi on a straight road. Or at least engage it and disengage it a few times while stopped
    2
  5896. Hi! Should be Otto cycke
    2
  5897. Not yet. I’ll pull 20 tundra cabs before pulling a 278 out of a 221 😂. It was actually not that bad neither is the cab out of a tundra or a body off of a frame on toyota trucks. Looks dramatic though
    2
  5898. Hi! Yes it’s coming up on the radar. That is the typical new model pains. Updated parts are likely being developed hence the delays
    2
  5899. Hi! Usually a steel sleeve but I’ll double check to give you accurate info
    2
  5900. I personally have a soft spot for the Lexus GX so I am a bit biased when it comes to that question
    2
  5901. Hi! No definite information yet
    2
  5902. Honestly the ball joints seem very similar. Aluminum doesn’t wear or break unless it gets in an accident then they break. But steel also gets bent and otherwise damaged in accidents.
    2
  5903. Wastegate issues are typical for new model intro.
    2
  5904. Hi! Yes the compressor is electric on hybrids except the 1st generation Prius
    2
  5905. Hi! The same was said about the V8 In the previous tundra but it turned out great. Toyota did take their time with this engine. Time will tell.
    2
  5906. Hard to tell at this point on this specific model but turbos at some point will fail due to their nature of operation. But they could last a long time but with a naturally aspirated engine that’s one less thing to worry about one day.
    2
  5907. Hi! Possibly the 2.4 turbo
    2
  5908. Almost done! I’ll make an update video
    2
  5909. Hi! You didn’t miss a video. I’m working around the clock to get the shop ready to open haven’t actually had time to make an update video hoping to be able to do so soon
    2
  5910. Hi! First generation is good I would skip the 4 cylinder on that. The second generation is very good so far
    2
  5911. Hi! The carpet is made by the uniform company so it gets switched out with a clean one weekly.
    2
  5912. Hi! Unless you know someone directly they’ll tend to be on the overprotective side. Mechanics can be bitter as this job is tough.
    2
  5913. We just had this conversation today! He is adding it
    2
  5914. Hi Carlos! Not on that car yet. Hope to get one in the future to do a review
    2
  5915. Thank you! We’re starting with up to 5 cars a day and adjusting from there.

    2
  5917. I wanted to add that from now but the cost was higher. I did ask the electrician to leave room in the panel for one in the future
    2
  5918. It is and I initially wanted to but I kinda of like the big space and wanted to hold off to keep costs down
    2
  5919. Thank you!
    2
  5920. Yes yes! It’s truly been a blessing!
    2
  5921. Thank you! We’re thinking psalm 23:1-6

  5922. The louvers open with the suction of the fan. I’ll show it in the next video

  5926. The carpet looked better on camera than it is in real life. Hard to have carpet in a mechanic shop
    2
  5927. Thank you for the info! I’ll have a chat with him
    2
  5928. Hi! I have a general contractor who’s handling the project. He’s like family to me and things are actually going ahead of schedule! I’m very happy and blessed he’s helping me with this as you’re right, I have no clue about any of this process. Initially it will be just me for mechanics until we see what kind of work we get and go from there.
    2
  5929. I have considered it. Working on finding someone who has the time to make a joint video
    2
  5930. Hi! Buzzers yea not the start stop
    2
  5931. Coming back this weekend! Took a small break to catch up
    2
  5932. Hi Wasi! Thank you for watching my channel. That’s a video that’s on the list. Once I get one in the shop I’ll make a video about it. For future please write any questions or comments in the comments sections as emails are really backed up and a response on the email is not guaranteed at this point
    2
  5933. Hi! Is this a 2021 model? It should have automatic parking brake
    2
  5934. If I ever get one to review I’ll post it
    2
  5935. Hi! Not really sure on trucks I would contact the manufacturer
    2
  5936. Similar but not the A25A or M20A
    2
  5937. Hi! The CHR doesn’t have this engine. It has the 1.8 which is covered in this video https://youtu.be/IAb9b3Hrea0
    2
  5938. Hi! You have the 2AR-FE very similar process and if memory serves right it’s 5/8
    2
  5939. Hi! On those highlanders by the kick panel there's a small pocket inside the car that has an opening. That opening always gets clogged not the drain itself. Kinda hard to get to it and see it.
    2
  5940. Hi! That’s one that I’m planning to do soon
    2
  5941. Hi! Some aftermarkets are actually incorrect for the engine you are using it on
    2
  5942. Hi! It alters the torque spec and most of the time they end up causing them to seize
    2
  5943. Hi! They are reliable when taken care of
    2
  5944. Hi! If it’s an LE Or SE it has a 4 cylinder A25A 2.5L if it’s an XLE or XSE it could have the 4 cylinder or the V6 2GR-FKS
    2
  5945. Timing chain and interference
    2
  5946. Hi! It does have EGR. So far I haven't seen or heard of carbon issues with the EGR.
    2
  5947. Possibly fits. That’ll be trial and error
    2
  5948. I hear you. However it seems like they made the connector better it doesn’t require a lot of pushing to release like the old ones. The old ones were a pain to remove even when they’re newer. You’re right though time will tell if they do the same as the old ones.
    2
  5949. Hi! It really doesn’t add anything to clean them. Typically healthy engines will leave the plugs clean so I wouldn’t clean them
    2
  5950. Hi! Not yet. Will do one when I get one
    2
  5951. Hi my brother. I don’t know if I’m very used to them but they’re overall easy. The V8s are a bit interesting but still not horrible
    2
  5952. Thank you!
    2
  5953. Hi! Usually the controller for the heater under the seat. You can swap the passenger to the driver to test
    2
  5954. Hi! These actually don’t. If you notice their angle it’s very close to the hood unlike some other models. And the lift already has foam on it
    2
  5955. Hi! We’re working on lighting for the new setup of the shop. We’ll improve things as we go

  5956. Hi! That humming noise is normal as the solenoids activate and stay on. I’m sorry the dealership didn’t say that.
    2
  5957. Hi! The frame replacement would easily be 15k or more if you can even get the frame new still
    2
  5958. Hi! Very frequent oil changes and brake inspections. Also you want to make sure the tires are always good. I’ve serviced driving instructors cars before. The new drivers really wear out brakes and tires because they’re learning
    2
  5959. Hi! They are better but if completely neglected they can get bad as well. If you live in an area with salt use in the winter I would undercoat it
    2
  5960. Hi! This is a snap on flashlight.
    2
  5961. Hi! You’ll want to look that up by vin on parts.Toyota.com and make sure you get the correct screws because that emblem is expensive and you don’t want to damage it
    2
  5962. Hi! When transmission fluid and coolant mix, the color of the mix is very bright pink. Engine oil mixing with coolant turns milky white. So When you see pink color in the transmission fluid that means that coolant and transmission fluid already mixed and that’s very harmful if not fatal for the transmission
    2
  5963. Hi! Thank you! We’re working on adjusting the camera setup for the new shop and things will improve as we go
    2
  5964. Hi! I have a livestream scheduled for this Saturday at 7pm central or you’re welcome to ask your question as a comment
    2
  5965. Hi! It has 82k miles
    2
  5966. Hi! I’ve never let oil sit in any car I’ve owned more than 6 months European or not.
    2
  5967. They have their quirks to work on but overall not terrible. Of course next to a Toyota they’re a nightmare! But compared to say Audi they’re not bad at all. That’s how Mercedes rotors come. They couldn’t even bother with a box. I wonder if the more expensive rotors also come with no boxes
    2
  5968. Well let’s hope he didn’t! 😂 have a good day Jim thank you for watching!
    2
  5969. Hi! Those are good but keep an eye on carbon build up as that engine is common for it
    2
  5970. Hi my brother! Carbon is building up slowly to a point where I might need to do something about it ( direct injection only) and these engines have a habit of chewing up the cylinder walls. On the Avalon yes the 2022 model might be the last year for the Avalon in the us unfortunately
    2
  5971. Hi! No the cabin filters have more mileage but are 2 years old. Sparks plugs are not that difficult but not straight forward either. The coil tubes can break when removing them but they are available for sale separately from the coil. The engine oil is 5w40
    2
  5972. Hi! It has 82k miles
    2
  5973. Hi my brother! I use griots speed shine it works really well for cleaning the exterior. I bought it from a non Mercedes dealership and I think it had 54k or something like that
    2
  5974. That’s a quick jack 7000xlt
    2
  5975. Thank you for pointing that one. That has already happened. New harness sensors and many other parts that got ruined by the oil. Thank you extended warranty
    2
  5976. A friend quoted 9 hours at 175 an hour…. Don’t know if that’s exact
    2
  5977. Hi! The seat in this one is exceptionally comfortable because it’s very adjustable. A seat that is similar is in a Lexus LS. On the Toyota side they all pretty much have similar seat adjustments. The sequoia does have very comfortable seats as well
    2
  5978. Hi! The closest car driving experience wise to an S class Toyota side is likely the Lexus LS
    2
  5979. Hi! I think Lexus is more reliable than Mercedes for sure. Interior quality Lexus has been on the up and Mercedes has been on the down but still Mercedes has an edge in their designs of interiors. Ride quality and driving experience is where Lexus lacks when in comparison to Mercedes and is the principal reason I don’t own a Lexus LS. Lexus still is on the floaty “safe” side while Mercedes will compromise reliability by over complicating things so the ride quality and driving experience is not compromised.
    2
  5980. You’d be surprised! Price out the brakes original and you’ll actually be shocked. The LS460 is not exactly a cheap car to own. It’s very reliable but eventually something will give and the price will reflect it. I distinctly remember a customer paying a small fortune recently to have their brakes replaced original parts on a Lexus ls460 original parts
    2
  5981. 😂 in theory yes. I plan to keep it a theory without a test
    2
  5982. The s550 thanks to the double pane glass
    2
  5983. They have a protective coating that comes off when you drive
    2
  5984. I’m waiting for the bulbs to go. One of them is slowly turning pink so it’s going
    2
  5985. I actually decided but will wait to see. I’ll reveal it when it’s actually here
    2
  5986. That Avalon is quiet and smooth! Just let down by the steering feel! Even the newer Avalon is not as smooth and quiet as that generation
    2
  5987. Roughly yes about the same size. The rotor however is larger if memory serves right
    2
  5988. Thank you my brother! This one is under coated from the previous owner. But there might be a new car soon that I’ll take you up on that offer for!
    2
  5989. I sold it. It was actually solid reliable for the time I had it. I didn’t want to push my luck
    2
  5990. Hi Walter! Thank you for watching! I reviewed this lift a long time ago. Here’s a link for that review https://youtu.be/XWx9NAXzS8w
    2
  5991. Hi! Honestly I drove a Lexus LS460L before buying this one and I was not very impressed. It’s a very nice car but at that price, it just doesn’t drive or feel the same. I even looked at an Audi A8 and a BMW 750il and they were both unreliable and not as smooth and quiet at least to me.
    2
  5992. I was the last one who did the oil change and filter came right out?
    2
  5993. Hi! Don’t know how their part numbers work but if you google Mercedes Benz brake paste you’ll find it
    2
  5994. Hi! It shouldn’t be an issue.
    2
  5995. And the ceramic pads say to use grease in specific spots! I vote for what worked for years and years without issues!
    2
  5996. Mityvac brake bleeder
    2
  5997. Some things in this car are a pain like spark plugs. Did those at 60k wish I would’ve filmed it.
    2
  5998. Hi! Man cave it is! I did replace the drain plug gasket.
    2
  5999. Hi Michael! There’s always something wrong and need attention the first year or two but lately she’s been behaving. I highly encourage you to consider an extended warranty even if it’s expensive. You buy this car to enjoy it, protect that purchase with a warranty so it continues to be a joy until the warranty runs out
    2
  6000. It said Mercedes on the pack, it must be better! Had to do it 😂
    2
  6001. I usually use a spray bottle with water and soap and wipe it down. If it’s very dirty use water from a hose but avoid electrical connectors
    2
  6002. I really have no experience with the accord especially the newer ones. The older ones were similar
    2
  6003. It’s actually Griots garage speed shine
    2
  6004. The transmission fluid was replaced prior
    2
  6005. The LS has a the same level of serenity and quietness but the power delivery or a better way to put it the drama free power delivery of the S class is better. Also higher speed stability is much better on the s class. But service/maintenance costs are much Much higher than the LS
    2
  6006. Hi Marjan! Just turned 82k miles
    2
  6007. Thank you! The only disaster that this car have passed so far was oil in the harness from the cam sensors otherwise other than little gremlins and small things it’s been good
    2
  6008. Thank you my brother! I heard about the heart beat slowing down and kinda of agree with it! How’s the 278 engine with the cylinder wall scoring? Is it common or poor maintenance?
    2
  6009. Hi! On the rotors I haven’t really tried it that way. And on the 4runner you will likely need a scan tool. Is this a v8 4runner?
    2
  6010. Likely for insulation of noise they’ve been using it for a long time
    2
  6011. Hi! A combination of lighting and the fact that it’s driven for very short periods of time usually pull out of the garage and back for filming.
    2
  6012. Hi! I am not aware of a proper kit for complete air suspension for the RAV4 and if there is it would be expensive and likely not worth it
    2
  6013. Hi! That’s a quick jack lift and it does lift a tundra
    2
  6014. Still looking for one that can do everything. I’m planning a video in the future for multiple tools to compare them
    2
  6015. Most will argue this but actually buying the manufacturer branded oil is not a waste. A battery is just a battery. And I totally agree on the bushing. Did that in the past and was shocked by it. It absolutely makes no sense
    2
  6016. The LS460 is a nice car. Not my taste as it tends to float too much and doesn’t have the same driving experience. It’s definitely more reliable however it’s still expensive repair wise compared to other Lexus/Toyota models. I would keep it until things start falling apart ( mainly the air suspension if equipped ) and if the exhaust start falling apart if you live in a rusty state then move on
    2
  6017. Yes
    2
  6018. Hi my brother! It’s a quick jack 7000xlt
    2
  6019. Thank you my brother! Life is good is a copyrighted brand I couldn’t go with that one! But the others I’ll add them
    2
  6020. Hi! This was a mityvac brake bleeder it runs off of shop air and creates vacuum to pull the fluid out
    2
  6021. Hi! The 1UR is a very good engine. Less common on it but still possible is cam tower leaks. Maybe a water pump but otherwise these are solid
    2
  6022. For driving experience the s550 for reliability probably the ls460. The ls460 has no turbos. The ls500 has a v6 with twin turbos
    2
  6023. Hi! 82k miles
    2
  6024. On your hybrid I would add the exact amount and if anything a bit less! Hybrids don’t do well with overfilled oil.
    2
  6025. Hi! These are really good trucks. Just know a few things. First that year takes premium fuel. Then make sure whatever you buy is not rusty as they tend to rust pretty bad if not taken care of
    2
  6026. When they offer you the warranty ask them for a better deal flat out. They will resist but tell them I like the deal of the car but I want you to help me out on the price of the warranty. You’ll want to push them a bit on this one.
    2
  6027. On the 4Runner non limited I’d say no it’s not worth getting
    2
  6028. Thank you for watching my videos! Every vehicle even the best made have issues, just like anything else. If you are equipped with information you can do your best to minimize the issues and not cause them.
    2
  6029. Hi! It does cost them more on the mechanics time and the car goes through a very meticulous inspection when compared to a regular used car inspection. A case where I’d buy a non certified is if you’re buying an older car or buying a car in good condition from a non Toyota dealership
    2
  6030. Hi! That’s a very good question. Typically there are a few reasons why they won’t sell it as certified. Either it’s too old has too many miles or the red flag is when it’s been in an accident major enough that it won’t qualify. Sometimes though dealerships will purposefully not certify a car to make it cheaper if they have too many similar cars in stock that are certified
    2
  6031. Hi Scott! If you’re keeping the car long and the price of the warranty is reasonable I would consider it. But with that I would regularly check the car to make sure nothing is missed and if nothing happens during the time of the warranty which is not something surprising I would take the piece of mind.
    2
  6032. Hi! It does have the D4S with dual injection systems
    2
  6033. I’m glad they’re taking care of it! An inspector is standard procedure for high dollar repairs. They basically verify the vin and mileage and take pictures to make sure there no fraud
    2
  6034. The only warranty that covers bumper to bumper literally is the factory warranty. Every extended warranty even the Toyota one will have exclusions
    2
  6035. Hi! Since you drive a lot of miles likely saving money yourself is a better option. If you drove low mileage then the warranty would make sense. You will end the warranty with miles first. That year sienna is a good van. Buying it from Florida is a good thing as it will be 100% rust free
    2
  6036. Hi! That is a bit low of period of coverage for a high price honestly. That model is nearly bullet proof I would save that money instead
    2
  6037. As I mentioned in the video, good warranty companies won’t call you and deal with consumers directly without inspecting the car first. Be aware of warranty company calls or mail
    2
  6038. I’m sorry you’re having these issues with your highlander. Hope it’s smooth sailing from now on and the car regains your trust and confidence.
    2
  6039. Depends on the price and the length. Shouldn’t be an expensive one on a reliable truck like the 4Runner. I would advise it more if you were getting the limited model with X reas suspension as one failure of those will make the warranty pay for itself
    2
  6040. And you did good! When things are not clear they’re likely not good! $6000 is ridiculous for any Toyota and even 3500-4000 is still high
    2
  6041. Hi! If you won’t put a lot of miles it might be ok not to get one
    2
  6042. It is possibly the best warranty for Toyota after the factory warranty. They cover the most and their transactions are seamless when doing the work through a Toyota dealership.
    2
  6043. Hi! I think at that price and that warranty it’s a good deal.
    2
  6044. Hi! It wouldn’t hurt anything.
    2
  6045. Hi! The laws on this will vary by state but keeping a meticulous record and making sure to do everything right helps a lot
    2
  6046. 2019 corolla hatchback and 2020 corolla sedan and up
    2
  6047. Hi! I am waiting for a new car to arrive currently. I usually buy an extended warranty for my new cars as I get it at a discount. I am extremely picky about my cars and the smallest thing bothers me so I buy an extended warranty so I can get the smallest thing taken care of and not cost me a fortune
    2
  6048. Hi! I think the 2020 Camry is very good. The 2016 is very good as well but the 2020 is nicer to live with everyday
    2
  6049. Hi my brother. Thank you for your comment! I try to read every comment! Sometimes it’s hard but I do my best. So in your case I would refund the warranty. You’ll go over the mileage of the warranty rapidly where it won’t make sense. Instead save that money to the side as an emergency fund should something come up.
    2
  6050. Hi! If you’re buying a Toyota warranty I’d say it’s worth it if you like the piece of mind. The Venza is likely a reliable car but peace of mind is always good in my opinion. Negotiate the price and if you are happy with the price go for it.
    2
  6051. Hi! Flat rate times are written in a labor guide. Some times the labor guide is way off on the low and/or high side so labor times can have a slight variance but not 1.5 times the published labor rate
    2
  6052. Hi! Just be aware that extended warranties won’t cover pre existing conditions and they might not cover it if you buy the warranty and take it in for repairs.
    2
  6053. Hi! Sienna vans converted are good as long as they’re made by a good company like VMI. They are a bit more difficult to work on from the dealership side as it has a lot of custom work but they are as reliable as a normal sienna. Rust is not very kind to them usually as they age but as you said take care of your van and it will take care of you.
    2
  6054. Hi! If it’s toyota extra care it might be worth it if it’s a good price
    2
  6055. Then likely no. This truck is so reliable that likely you won’t get your money back from an extended warranty. However if the price is good and I encourage you to negotiate then perhaps it’s worth the peace of mind.
    2
  6056. Is it a limited trim?
    2
  6057. Hi! On Toyota warranty they have to document the leak and the leak has to form a drip to qualify. Extended warranties typically will send an adjuster to inspect and decide if it’s an active leak or a seepage.
    2
  6058. As moe said that’s correct. You can buy it and if you know some people at the dealership in sales they could be able to help you negotiate a better deal
    2
  6059. Not 100% sure but they might be transferable
    2
  6060. Hi! The newest one is well covered underneath. It wouldn’t hurt but it’s not high on the list
    2
  6061. Hi! On models that require it they should replace it under the free maintenance program
    2
  6062. It is provided by Toyota financial services which is a division of Toyota itself. Not provided by a 3rd party company.
    2
  6063. That is correct
    2
  6064. Platinum is the highest grade and covers the most out of any extended warranty
    2
  6065. If you have low profile tires and live in an area with bad roads then yes
    2
  6066. That’s a dealership problem not the warranty. Some dealerships are so afraid of dealing with extended warranties while others will fight the good fight for you as it’s a win win for the dealership. They get paid for the work and you are happy because you’re using the extended warranty.
    2
  6067. Hi! Since it’s a CPO it does come with some warranty that’s actually pretty good. If the price, company of warranty and length is good it’s not a bad idea for peace of mind but if it’s too much then I’d pass, you already have some warranty with the CPO
    2
  6068. Yep! Uncle Doug sure made that one pay for itself at least 2-3 times 😉
    2
  6069. That wouldn’t surprise me. Anything too good to be true in the automotive world is just that. Too good to be true
    2
  6070. If the adaptive cruise control is disabled you can still switch to conventional cruise and it should work
    2
  6071. Hi! Honestly it doesn’t work very well and usually has a certain time of coverage
    2
  6072. Hi! Best way is to swap bulbs. If the problem follows to the other side it’s the bulb. If it stays on the same side it’s the ballast.
    2
  6073. Hi! When you say covered until 100k what kind of warranty is that? The certified warranty?
    2
  6074. Too bad we won’t see it in the us 😢
    2
  6075. Hi Pavlo! Thank you for watching my channel! G wagons are cool!
    2
  6076. That color model combo is growing on me quick! Nice one!

  6078. Thank you for watching my channel!
    2
  6079. Hi brother! I wanted to say 100 series land cruiser. The later ones seem to fare better with rust.
    2
  6080. Happy Sunday indeed my brother!
    2
  6081. It’s very simple Michelle! Save your money and do it yourself. Doesn’t require any tools.
    2
  6082. Hi Michelle! I don’t have a video for that one yet. It’s very simple. You need to remove the glove box. So open the glove box and squeeze the edges down until the back side comes towards you. Then undo the small shock on the passenger side of the glove box and swing it down. Behind it you’ll see a small door, open it and that’s where the cabin filter will be
    2
  6083. Nice! Thank you for sharing!
    2
  6084. Nice! Thank you for watching my channel
    2
  6085. Hey brother! Mine was a 4 cylinder SE. the 2006 Camry v6 is a truly nice car

    2
  6097. Agreed!

    2
  6122. A true classic indeed! That’s a nice one!
    2
  6123. They’re coming! When they’re 25 years old we can import them in the us! Cant wait to see a few more here
    2
  6124. Thank you!
    2
  6125. Nice!
    2
  6126. Thank you for watching my channel daniel! I wouldn’t worry about the highlander leaks. At this mileage if you don’t have leaks you’re good as most of the 19s that I’ve seen leak, leaked well before your mileage
    2
  6127. Thank you!

    2
  6143. Nice!
    2
  6144. I hear you on the look of the H2. The way it looks really brings the inner child in us. I wouldn’t mind one

    2
  6148. Thank you for sharing! The garage door is actually insulated and I’ve spent a good amount of time making sure it’s not drafty. Next I have to tackle the side door which is taped for now. I’ll go into details on the burned up transmission when I make the video for it
    2

  6158. Yes I do
    2
  6159. Hi! For the es300h I would change it at that mileage.
    2
  6160. Disconnect the 12v battery and deplete the EV range
    2
  6161. Hi’ it doesn’t have a specific interval. Usually recommended when you replace the spark plugs
    2
  6162. The xtool D7 should do the trick
    2
  6163. It needed a full wash
    2
  6164. Thank you for your feedback Marjan. I’ll include it next time. And it’s not missing engine covers underneath that’s how these are
    2
  6165. Hi! Replace it the first time at 5 years or 100k miles then every 50k or 5 years
    2
  6166. This is the 2AR-FXE
    2
  6167. Hi! Let’s do it. Email me with the subject Chicago service request
    2
  6168. Hi! On these you’ll need to remove the back seat completely to get to the fan itself. For the filter pull the door seal around the filter and the you can reach in and the get the filter
    2
  6169. Always! I won’t get offended if any of my customers ask. I actually appreciate when owners care to want to see what’s going on with their car
    2
  6170. Hi! Will take new clients in June. Booked until then at the moment
    2
  6171. Hi! LED headlights are expensive but they have a much longer life than HID bulbs
    2
  6172. Hi! Ask the advisor. Then after the service ask to speak to the mechanic. Look them in the eye and ask them about the condition of the car. You’ll know from the way they carry themselves if they’re good or shady
    2
  6173. I asked the owner he mentioned that the car was swaying and they were worn.
    2
  6174. That likely has to do with the gas mileage. See if it gets better once weather improves which it should
    2
  6175. Hi! Many factors play into gas mileage like driving style and weather. How’s the weather in your area?
    2
  6176. 😂 wake them up with a couple snaps on the brakes
    2
  6177. Hi! So the non full speed ones need more supervising at lower speeds as it disengages and all it does is beep when it does disengage. In my opinion the non full speed is more suited for higher speed driving like highway driving than city and stop and go traffic. Unfortunately it cannot be upgraded to the full speed one.
    2
  6178. Very good question. I am not 100% positive on this one but each radar will use a specific frequency of transmission. Not is it possible that 2 cars happen to be on the same frequency? Don’t quote me on this one.
    2
  6179. Chicago area.
    2
  6180. Yes press and hold the cruise button to engage conventional cruise control.
    2
  6181. Hi! No need to push the button twice then start. Simply start the car by pressing the brake pedal and hitting the start button.
    2
  6182. That’s a actually a very good idea.
    2
  6183. I’m not concerned about the code. Worse case scenario is a brake switch which is an inexpensive part and easy to replace. And the leak even if it gets bad will make a mess but won’t cause a significant loss of oil.
    2
  6184. The 2015 is actually even better in the long run. The rust on the door can be fixed or even the whole door replaced with a used door of a matching color car. I am a bit worried about the 2011 without service history. The 2015 is likely the best out of them all. The black dusting on the front cover is the very early beginnings of the leak. Even with the leak I’d go for it. Clean the black dusting with some brake cleaner and see how it progresses. It could be a long time before it actually develops a leak.
    2
  6185. Could you email me that video? I wanna see what it’s doing.
    2
  6186. 😂 😆 would a poster of the Supra count?
    2
  6187. Hi! These could be either or. Do you have a physical emblem in the front or it’s flat?
    2
  6188. Hi! It’s normal. They could’ve done a better job insulating but that is just the normal noise of brake operation
    2
  6189. Blessings my brother. Chicago area.
    2
  6190. The exhaust doesn’t have a lock but has a heavy duty spring that locks it. They never rattle unless they’ve been run out of oil
    2
  6191. If it’s a long rattle that’s a deep metallic rattle it could be a VVTI gear or a broken guide from it
    2
  6192. If it rattles a lot on every cold start I would consider replacing the gear IF the rest of the car is in good shape and you plan to keep it long
    2
  6193. If I get one in the shop we’ll film it
    2
  6194. You’re likely looking at around $1500 all in worst case scenario
    2
  6195. They do not have these issues in the later years of the 2AR
    2
  6196. This was a design issue. Once the updated parts are installed it shouldn’t reoccur. Updated parts were installed in this engine around 2014-2015 and up
    2
  6197. The exhaust gear doesn’t rattle because it has a heavy duty spring that locks it in place. Only time the exhaust would rattle is when they’ve been running with no oil.
    2
  6198. Hi! This is a must for todays emissions standards. I explained it in another video. Search Toyota VvTi system
    2
  6199. This noise usually doesn’t happen when you’re driving only on cold starts and your year sienna should have updated gears already on the 2GR
    2
  6200. 2012 did not have the updated ones. Those started around 14-15
    2
  6201. This is another developing issue with AC compressors on the 2AR. Try it with the AC off
    2
  6202. Hi! Send me an email with the subject Chicago service request
    2
  6203. Hi! Honestly it’s wear and tear. A few things I would check is tire pressure and make sure no brakes are sticking and/or dragging.
    2
  6204. Likely a Lexus ISF or GSF or the LC500 is the closest thing to have some performance and reliability
    2
  6205. Hi! You have the updated 1GR-FE engine. Here’s a similar video for your engine https://youtu.be/wDeLFAAJCyk
    2
  6206. Thank you!
    2
  6207. Honestly with the new warranty on hybrid batteries it kinda takes the worry out of the picture
    2
  6208. Hi! Honestly I don’t. This was the case long time ago but not anymore
    2
  6209. Many plants make it
    2
  6210. I would change the spark plugs. They get seized if they stay for a very long time.
    2
  6211. Hi! They used the older version of this engine
    2
  6212. Hi! Do you mean the start stop technology?
    2
  6213. It does as well
    2
  6214. Hi! Yes they’re still using plastic oarts
    2
  6215. Hi! It does have some subtle differences but mechanically it’s almost identical
    2
  6216. Haven’t run into this issue before. Update if I hear anything on it
    2
  6217. It’s very good except the first couple of years mainly 2005-2006
    2
  6218. Hi! Yes a very similar version with slight changes to accommodate the different mounting
    2
  6219. Hi! Not really what they could have found. The 2.0 is a very good engine so far
    2
  6220. Hi! I’d say if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. If they ever have an issue then replace them but that might be a long time
    2
  6221. Hi! It would have a regular 2GR-FE
    2
  6222. Hi! In certain operating conditions the thermostat will open earlier in this model and it’s controlled by the heater to open and close
    2
  6223. Hi! It won’t be a straight forward swap but anything is possible
    2
  6224. Hi! Honestly the prices will vary based on area and the deal you’re working on with the dealership. Here’s a general rule of thumb. You want to see the window sticker and know the MSRP of the car you’re interested in. Don’t pay over the MSRP and try to get lower than MSRP. Don’t accept dealership added stuff like nitrogen in the tires protection packages….etc that you didn’t agree on. If you want a specific package sure ask for the price and negotiate but don’t let the dealership force a package and hope you don’t notice
    2
  6225. It can be a normal sound. I’d need to hear it to know for sure honestly.
    2
  6226. Hi! The hybrid variant has a somewhat similar design. And the issues are much MUCH less on the hybrid variant
    2
  6227. The computer will determine the conditions of the switch. It could be switching back and forth as you drive.
    2
  6228. Hi! Ignition timing?
    2
  6229. For rain Awd isn’t exactly helpful. If you want more power the v6 otherwise a standard non Awd would also work
    2
  6230. So far no. They are solid
    2
  6231. Hi! Should be around 6.2 quarts
    2
  6232. Hi! Which model?
    2
  6233. Hi! The lotus got a 2GR-FE and they modified it
    2
  6234. If I would do anything I would do a single drain and fill
    2
  6235. It can make it easier to get it out but it also can be done without
    2
  6236. Hi! I wouldn’t use high mileage oil. Just use full synthetic oil if required
    2
  6237. Yes they have for a long time actually.
    2
  6238. Hi Jim! It’s 2020 for adaptive cruise control In the US. The 4runner however doesn’t have lane keep assist. Only lane keep warning so it just beeps doesn’t move the steering
    2
  6239. Hi! If the car is driven somewhat regularly it should be ok. If it has low mileage because it is stored for months at a time that’s not good for the longevity of the battery
    2
  6240. Hard to count. There was a time where every other job was a dash when Toyota was replacing them for free. Easily into the hundreds
    2
  6241. Hi! The owner wanted this done and they were set on it. You see it as just a 10+ year old car but it’s actually in pristine condition, very well kept and taken care of. Passed inspection with flying colors. Didn’t need a thing.
    2
  6242. 6-7 hours depends which book you look at
    2
  6243. Hi Kris. Some Toyota seats when you lift them up can be a bit in an awkward position. Did you try to lower the seat down to its mid position to see if it gets better
    2
  6244. Hi! Usually the bezel near the windshield. Remove it and verify that the noise goes away if it does then use some foam insulation to quiet it down
    2
  6245. They really take care of it. If you wash the car regularly and garage keep it they don’t rust as bad
    2
  6246. Hi! The 2GR engine does have a slight vibration that you’ll feel in the seat and floor. That is normal. Many have complained about it but they all do that and I’m with you it is annoying. When it switches injection modes you’ll really feel it and it smooths out in port injection mode
    2
  6247. It was a time lapse of removal but the camera took a picture of each start. Go pro is getting old and worn time for a new one I suppose
    2
  6248. Hi! It would work yes if you catch it before it damages the cylinder walls
    2
  6249. Hi! To a certain degree all Toyota trucks will do this and that’s the design of the drivetrain. But in some of them it is exaggerated and that’s can be improved with dressing the driveshafts well.
    2
  6250. This one has an original frame. Because it was preserved it never had holes.
    2
  6251. Fluid film works well. Downside is it makes working on the truck a messy proposition and it needs reapplication every year or two
    2
  6252. I have but it’s not simple to do it legally through the shop.
    2
  6253. Hi! The dealership can run the VIN and tell you if it’s covered or not.
    2
  6254. Hi! I recommend you stick with oem
    2
  6255. There’s nothing to respond to. Man saw a truck. Man liked the truck. Man bought the truck with his own hard earned money. Have a good weekend.
    2
  6256. I hope this dealership is aware of your cvt transmission as it’s not possible to flush it as it doesn’t have cooler hoses. I would be interested if they actually say is a flush and end up doing a drain and fill
    2
  6257. I would replace it very soon. You can’t flush a CVT transmission on Toyota models as it has no external lines running to the transmission. Just a good drain and fill.
    2
  6258. Hi! It could be the same but you can’t know for sure I would go original on transmission fluod
    2
  6259. In this case I would drain it cold so you can check the level and have enough time
    2
  6260. You can drain it either hot or cold. But if it’s one without a dipstick I would drain it cold so then you can adjust the level
    2
  6261. Hi! I would replace it using WS fluid. Just a drain and fill
    2
  6262. Hi! You could but with newer toyota engines flushing never gets rid of the coolant 100%
    2
  6263. Wouldn’t hurt to do that in this case. How was the fluid when you replaced it?
    2
  6264. I would that’s not too high mileage and the transmission will benefit from a fluid refreshment.
    2
  6265. Hi! Honestly I wouldn’t replace it if the fluids been replaced on time. I haven’t seen a single filter cause issues unless it has very high mileage on original fluid that’s all sludged up
    2
  6266. Hi! 60k or 6 years
    2
  6267. Hi! I would change it every 30k miles.
    2
  6268. Hi! One drain and fill every 60k is enough to refresh the fluid and keep everything clean
    2
  6269. Hi! Which country is this corolla from?
    2
  6270. The hybrid transmission is actually not a conventional CVT transmission. It’s called eCVT but it’s different. I am working on a series that’ll go over each component in detail. Also yes it takes WS fluid.
    2
  6271. If the flush is done correctly and followed by a level check then it’s good. Otherwise a drain and fill with a level check.
    2
  6272. Actually most Toyota dealerships will flush the fluid then do a high temperature fluid level check.
    2
  6273. That sounds about right.
    2
  6274. Hi! Should be type 4
    2
  6275. So around 3-4 quarts and change. I’d have 5 quarts at hand. Measure how much you drain and add the same amount and check on the dipstick when fully warmed up with the car running. Also I wouldn’t change the filter on Toyota transmissions.
    2
  6276. Hi! I would replace the coolant as it’s over 10 years old and I would change that transmission fluid as soon as possible using Toyota ATF WS
    2
  6277. You got it!
    2
  6278. I would change it at this point. It’s not too late
    2
  6279. Honestly I would just get shocks and struts from a non xreas and call it a day. It will be a bit expensive but going forward you won’t have to deal with this mess again.
    2
  6280. Yes and the accumulator. This system comes pre filled with oil and has quick disconnect fittings. Once a component leaks the fluid level drops and will start making clunking noises.
    2
  6281. That’s incorrect. When you replace the left front for example you have to replace the line, accumulator and the right rear shock and vice versa. Otherwise you’ll have noise because the fluid is low and there’s no way to add fluid to the system.
    2
  6282. I think I misunderstood. To clarify let me ask. Did you replace the shocks only without the lines and accumulator?
    2
  6283. Hi! If you have leaks with the x reas shocks then they could cause the clunking sound and at that point either replace the xreas cross shocks and lines or switch to regular shocks
    2
  6284. Hi! Might be borderline. I would only do a drain and fill.
    2
  6285. Hi! For the IS I would replace the fluid just a drain and fill. for the GX i would leave it alone
    2
  6286. Hi! Personally I don’t like to use non original transmission fluid.
    2
  6287. Hi! I don’t have experience with Prius lift kits. But they will for sure affect gas mileage. 85 is good in high altitude and is equivalent to 87. You can keep your Prius running when camping as long as you have enough gas.
    2
  6288. Hi! I like eCVTs for reliability. If they are taking care of they will last a very long time.
    2
  6289. Hi! Hybrid transmissions actually use Toyota WS ATF because it’s not a conventional CVT it’s an eCVT which is completely different. Replacement is recommended every 60-90k miles
    2
  6290. I would change everything you mentioned but the transmission. Look t e fluid on the dipstick. Does it have a burnt smell?
    2
  6291. It’s not common practice to replace the transmission filter on Toyota cvt transmissions
    2
  6292. The amount you replace is enough to refresh the additives and keep things protected.
    2
  6293. I would just do it once
    2
  6294. Hi! You are changing some of the fluid but that amount is enough to keep things fresh and clean
    2
  6295. I wouldn’t be concerned honestly.
    2
  6296. They're pretty simple and fluid replacement is very easy. Recommended every 60-90k
    2
  6297. Hi! The transmission fluid can be replaced and not very difficult. Here’s a video that would help https://youtu.be/eRxSu4-4ojo
    2
  6298. Hi! Honestly I wouldn’t use anything other than original for coolant and transmission fluid. At the price difference it’s not worth it
    2
  6299. It’s not an issue however it will affect the coolant path effectiveness especially the anti freeze
    2
  6300. For your hybrid transmission it’s Toyota WS ATF
    2
  6301. Thank you! I would change it every 60K or 6 years you're just past 60k I would change it but no rush.
    2
  6302. Yes it’s too late for the mileage
    2
  6303. Coolant yes. ATF no
    2
  6304. Hi! I would replace it at this time
    2
  6305. Hi! Aftermarket is the way to go
    2
  6306. Hi! If you're replacing it on time like every 60k miles you don't need to worry about the filter.
    2
  6307. Hi! That won’t help it. The head gasket leaks are external not internal
    2
  6308. Hi! Either will work. A flush is ok for your truck
    2
  6309. Hi! If it’s a sealed transmission see this video for the procedure https://youtu.be/eRxSu4-4ojo
    2
  6310. Thomas I am in the Chicago area. Email me if need work done.
    2
  6311. Hi! Thank you for watching my channel! I would change the oil every 6 months or 5k you can stretch it a few months more but I wouldn’t go too long. Also the trans fluid I would have done at the dealership or a trusted shop only using Toyota ATF WS
    2
  6312. Hi! No issues with replacing the hybrid transmission fluid late. Unlike a conventional automatic transmission
    2
  6313. It takes Toyota WS ATF should be around 4-5 quarts and I would buy it original.
    2
  6314. Hi! Here’s a video that I made to show you just that https://youtu.be/eRxSu4-4ojo
    2
  6315. Most of the newer ones takes Toyota WS ATF and I recommend replacement every 60-90k miles
    2
  6316. Hi! I personally would use original fluid.
    2
  6317. Either one is good if done right. Both should be followed by a fluid level check
    2
  6318. Hi! I wouldn’t keep that coolant more than 5 years in the closed bottle.
    2
  6319. Thank you! I would say buy 2 to be on the safe side. Never hurts to have coolant spare it doesn’t go bad on the shelf. Usually the corollas have taken 1 but after topping off you’d need a bit more.
    2
  6320. 95-114
    2
  6321. Hi! Every 5 years or 50k miles. I don’t have a video for the tundra coolant yet
    2
  6322. Hi! At this mileage and age I would look at the fluid condition. If it’s dark but not burned I would change a small amount as you mentioned. If it looks burned i would leave it alone
    2
  6323. Hamid Reza Sannaee the hybrid transmission also takes WS fluid. I would recommend it replaced at 60k 6 years but unlike a regular automatic transmission it doesn’t cause harm at all to replace it late. It’s very simple drain and fill without any special tools or procedures on all hybrids. You just need a pump to push the fluid in the transmission.
    2
  6324. Hi! That is a normal noise for these. Nothing to worry about.
    2
  6325. Amsoil is good. I just feel more comfortable with original fluid for transmissions
    2
  6326. Hi! Likely it is red coolant
    2
  6327. Hi! I would get the transmission fluid replaced. No need to worry on hybrids about fluid changes causing issues. Hybrid transmissions can’t be flushed so it will be a drain and fill and should actually cost less than a flush.
    2
  6328. The evaporator is not a service item unless there’s a leak or issue it doesn’t need replacement.
    2
  6329. Hi! You could do either or. The block doesn’t drain a lot of the coolant so if access is an issue, drain the radiator only
    2
  6330. That one yes you can use
    2
  6331. Hi! A drain and fill is safer if mileage is high. A flush followed by a fluid level check is ok
    2
  6332. Honestly I wouldn’t with the older ones. Pink coolant is usually not too kind to older cars as far as leaks.
    2
  6333. Don’t mix them. Drain and old stuff from the radiator and block and refill with pink.
    2
  6334. Hi! For the transmission I would use original WS. For power steering dextrin VI should work but best is to use specific power steering fluid
    2
  6335. I would if I were you.
    2
  6336. If it was initially flushed and pink installed you’re good. You just don’t want to mix the two at high rates .
    2
  6337. It’s not the same coolant.
    2
  6338. Hi! I honestly wouldn’t mix pink with red. Stick with the original coolant.
    2
  6339. Hi! Toyota used to sell the red coolant like that but it was honestly a hassle and they decided to go with service coolant which is ready for use premixed. And you can top off the battery just be careful when you open the capa
    2
  6340. Hi! Yes find it here https://youtu.be/eRxSu4-4ojo
    2
  6341. Hi! That video is coming up next week
    2
  6342. Hi! Drain and fill for the coolant is sufficient
    2
  6343. I personally would go back to WS.
    2
  6344. Awesome!
    2
  6345. Usually every 60k or 6 years
    2
  6346. Hi! I wouldn’t replace the transmission fluid at this point with no record
    2
  6347. Hi! Every 60k miles or 6 years
    2
  6348. That one is a very simple one. Just take the cap off the reservoir. Then drain the coolant the drain is on the drivers side bottom of the radiator. Then fill it up to the full line and run the car in idle with ac off until the fans come on twice top it off as needed. Next morning when the car is completely cold make sure the coolant is above the low line. Don’t fill it to full when it’s cold and you’re all set
    2
  6349. Hi! I would use the original Toyota WS ATF transmission fluid
    2
  6350. Hi! A flush is ok as long as the fluid level is checked afterwards. Prices vary by area in Chicago 200-300 is average
    2
  6351. Hi! Redline will work well
    2
  6352. Thank you for watching my video! Your car definitely takes pink coolant. They did change the packaging a while back. A very minor coolant loss over a long period is not a big concern. A very good inspection will reveal the source. Water pumps and radiators are common to leak on your car.
    2
  6353. Hi! No that’s good
    2
  6354. Hi! GL5 gear oil every 30-60k miles
    2
  6355. Hi! 80w90 or 75w85 GL5 will work
    2
  6356. It does qualify. Just change the fluid and you’re all set
    2
  6357. Hi! If the fluid is replaced on time you don’t need to replace the filter. If you replace the filter get an original one
    2
  6358. Yes very simple
    2
  6359. Every 60-90k miles is good.
    2
  6360. It’s a simple drain and fill using Toyota ATF WS fluid
    2
  6361. Hi! That price is high. They’re actually very simple to do. Easier than a normal automatic transmission
    2
  6362. Hi! That’s a hybrid transmission so it takes toyota WS ATF
    2
  6363. Hi! Yellow dipstick is engine oil
    2
  6364. The belt on this engine lasts a very long time. If you don’t see heavy grooving or cracks on the belt keep it on. And the hoses will easily last the life of the car.
    2
  6365. Hi! Replacing the filter is not common practice on Toyota transmissions. It won’t cause harm but will cost more and really not benefit
    2
  6366. Hi! Most toyota manual transmissions use gear oil
    2
  6367. Honestly I’d rather you leave it a bit low than mix coolant. Just stop by your local dealership and have them top it off at their dime! They just changed the coolant
    2
  6368. Hi! It’s ok to be at the low line when it’s cold and should get closer to full when it’s fully warmed up. If not top it off
    2
  6369. Thank you for your comment. In some different markets other than the US you will see the original pink coolant at the 55/45 which is to accommodate for the specific temperature requirements of your region. Nothing to worry about just a different coolant to water ratio.
    2
  6370. Hi! Depends on the leak location. It it’s from the pan then it’s a gasket if not then it’s a sealer that seals the case of the transmission
    2
  6371. I wouldn’t worry about the filter as they’re not commonly replaced on those transmission. If everything is good I’d repeat it after 30k miles
    2
  6372. I would leave it alone at this point or if you want a single drain and fill is all I would do.
    2
  6373. The amount of fluid that you drain and replace is enough to refresh the fluid inside. Make sure You take the overflow tube as well when you drain it
    2
  6374. It’s just under 100 dollars for a can. Usually one can- one can and a half is needed depends how much you drain and if you’re taking the pan off
    2
  6375. A Pontiac vibe is actually an awesome car! It’s a rebadged Toyota Matrix
    2
  6376. Hi! Your hybrid transmission takes WS fluid and it doesn’t need a fluid temp check afterwards. No worries.
    2
  6377. So for the coolant it’s actually 100k or 5 years for the first replacement and for the transmission fluid 60k or 6 years. At this point I would replace the coolant and transmission fluid as your car is 6 years old.
    2
  6378. On coolant or transmission fluid?
    2
  6379. If your 2016 corolla has a transmission dipstick then it has a conventional automatic transmission and it uses ATF WS
    2
  6380. Hi! If the fluid is low it will have no shift or slipping when cold or sometimes when going around corners. When the fluid level is too high it could having whining noises and possible oil leaks. Here’s a video that goes over the transmission fluid replacement procedure including the fluid level check. https://youtu.be/eRxSu4-4ojo if your highlander has a dipstick which it should then this procedure doesn’t apply and in that case just check the level with the dipstick.
    2
  6381. Hi. Either is good. A flush using a machine is good. Other methods I wouldn’t recommend. Drain and fill is always the safest
    2
  6382. Hi! Looks are deceiving with coolant. It turns acidic and attacks seals. I would replace iy
    2
  6383. Hi! I’d replace both at the same time as they have the same interval. A video is planned to be filmed very soon for this topic and should be out in a month or so
    2
  6384. Hi! Don’t be concerned. Get it changed and everything is good. Usually up to 5-6 quarts Toyota WS ATF should do it
    2
  6385. Hi! I would replace the transmission fluid every 60k or 6 years. Here’s a video that shows you the procedure https://youtu.be/eRxSu4-4ojo
    2
  6386. Hi! I would leave it at this point but next replacement I would use origjnal
    2
  6387. Hi! You can remove the lower radiator hose instead to drain the coolant if the Petcock is stuck. Use pliers to gently try to open it, if it doesn’t budge just leave it alone
    2
  6388. Hi! It’s not a CVT in your 2019 sienna. It’s an 8 speed transmission which uses ATF WS
    2
  6389. Hi! I wouldn’t. Just use regular gear oil
    2
  6390. Hi Marcos. Honestly this question has come up in the past. Personally I wouldn’t use anything but Toyota fluid in the transmissions. At the long interval they have and the high price of transmissions it’s not worth the risk.
    2
  6391. Hi! At this mileage I would leave it alone
    2
  6392. Hi! Type 4 is compatible for your cars transmission.
    2
  6393. Hi! Change it and use Toyota WS fluid
    2
  6394. Hi! When the transmission pan is removed the oil has to be replaced so I’d consider that as a record of fluid replacement
    2
  6395. Hi! Most toyotas gear box oils are GL3 redline makes a good one for these
    2
  6396. Hi! Every 30-50k miles. Use something specific to manual transmissions like redline
    2
  6397. Hi! I would use Toyota WS
    2
  6398. Hi! On hybrids you don’t have to worry. On non hybrids if the fluid is original and has over 100k I would leave it alone. Otherwise replacing the fluid every 60k is a good idea
    2
  6399. Hi! That mileage is not very high you’re good for a drain and fill. And I would use original fluid only
    2
  6400. Hi! Usually around 2 gallons for each
    2
  6401. We’ve been using that for years never had a single issue honestly. And yes that’s what I meant
    2
  6402. No it’s the same coolant just provided in bulk vs the bottles
    2
  6403. I would just get power steering fluid compatible with Toyota. If none is available you can use dexron 3
    2
  6404. No problem at all I’m here to help! Honestly your highlander is one of the best Highlander’s overall. The new highlander while still new and might be tempting I wouldn’t rush to trade in. I’d give it at least a year or 2 maybe for the 2022 model I’d consider it. The 8 speed transmission had some issues in the 2017 highlander but by 2020 most issues should be resolved however the way it shifts is what bothers a lot of people. If you want to experience it go take one for a test drive at a dealership and see how you feel about it.
    2
  6405. KSN thank you! I’m glad I could help. For your highlander the engine coolant will be replaced the first time at 5 years or 100,000 miles whichever comes first. After you replace it the first time it’s every 5 years or 50,000 miles. The transmission fluid replace it every 60,000 miles or 6 years whichever comes first and you should have no issues.
    2
  6406. Hi! Pink coolant is long life coolant and it does come pre mixed. Red coolant is standard coolant and it doesn’t come pre mixed. Don’t mix the two and stick with the coolant that came with your car
    2
  6407. Hi! It could be either. A drain and fill is safer for older higher mileage cars
    2
  6408. If you’re sure it’s orange change it to be on the safe side
    2
  6409. Hi! I would take a sample and look at it closely. Sometimes the pink can have a strange look
    2
  6410. Should be between 3-4
    2
  6411. Hi! If you didn’t drive long you should be ok. Always check with the dealership bit autozone on the type of fluid for your car. You’re also welcome to ask here. Your hybrid transmission uses Toyota ATF WS fluid
    2
  6412. Hi! Should be around 5-6 max for each for a drain and fill.
    2
  6413. Hi! A drain and fill is sufficient. I don’t like aftermarket fluids in Toyota transmissions. I would use original fluid.
    2
  6414. Hi! I wouldn’t trust aftermarket. I would use original
    2
  6415. Some aftermarket companies will sell it. I’d say it’s not worth the guessing buy original for coolant
    2
  6416. Hi! These are inexpensive maintenance items if you have no records I would replace them and have peace of mind.
    2
  6417. Hi! No need to flush if there’s no contamination
    2
  6418. Good question. I don’t think it would have a shelf life if it’s sealed and stored properly. Coolant typically breaks down with heat and cool cycles over time but sitting in a bottle I wouldn’t think so. You can tel if it’s really old if it has a yellow cap and has yellow and red on the bottle. If it’s a pink cap and black grey and red then it’s fresh as Toyota switched over to the new design within the last year or so
    2
  6419. I don’t have a specific brand to recommend but something compatible and long life
    2
  6420. I wouldn’t be worried but at the next replacement I would revert to original
    2
  6421. I would change it every 60-90k and it’s very simple drain and fill. It used WS fluid. I plan to do a diy video in the future once I get a hybrid Toyota that needs a trans fluid replacement.
    2
  6422. Hi! 60k miles so it would be 100k Kms
    2
  6423. Hi! If you’re buying hybrids they’re both the same drivetrain and same power level for towijg
    2
  6424. Hi! It’s rated up to 3500 lbs for towing. It should be marginal for towing. You’ll definitely feel it slow down and gas mileage will likely suffer but it can get it done. As far as the reviver I believe it is a 2” but id have to double check
    2
  6425. Hi! It can handle it but the mileage will likely suffer a bit
    2
  6426. Could you take a picture or a small video showing them, upload and share a link?
    2
  6427. If you drive in a hilly area and like to have plenty of power this might be an issue honestly. I would rent one for a weekend to be sure before you buy.
    2
  6428. Hi! Personally I would use Toyota 0w16 for this engine
    2
  6429. Hi! It is the same transmission as a RAV4 prime not a regular hybrid. And the 8 speed is very similar
    2
  6430. Hi! Is there snow on your tours?
    2
  6431. Hi! It’s both port and direct injection so it has 8 injectors
    2
  6432. Hi! I am no expert on this. However from reading viewer comments who are it’s not dangerous.
    2
  6433. I would find a Toyota dealership that has rent a car and rent one for a weekend and try it. It’s definitely less powerful than the previous generation. Before you consider buying rent one and try it for your needs to be sure.
    2
  6434. Hi! It does not automatically. Before you shut off the car set the climate control to how you want it when you remote start then shut it off and when you remote start it, it will turn on with the same settings
    2
  6435. Hi! They’re too new to tell but looking at everything likely it will be
    2
  6436. Hi! Not as an option. You can unplug it but I don’t recommend it as it’s a safety feature
    2
  6437. Hi! Hybrids have come a long way. I wouldn’t worry about the battery life especially with their long warranty just keep up the maintenance especially on the fan filters
    2
  6438. Hi! This is not really an issue honestly
    2
  6439. Hi! You can wash it but avoid high pressure water on electrical components and try to dry things afterwards with compressed air.
    2
  6440. If that’s what the manual says then use it. If it gives you different options for different temp ranges then follow it accordingly
    2
  6441. Thank you! My viewers are the best! I am blessed!
    2
  6442. Hi! Sport tuned suspension so the van might handle slightly better but also have a rougher ride
    2
  6443. The parking assist will go away once you drive the car. That’s normal as it needs to calibrate
    2
  6444. Ok then it needs programming. With the window Half open. Close it all the way then let the switch go and then press close and hold close for the 5 seconds then lower it all the way down and let the switch go when it’s down then press it again for 5 seconds and then it should work
    2
  6445. Hi! Does it work from the passenger door?
    2
  6446. Hi! Don’t be. You’re going to like it.
    2
  6447. Hi! Few fuses by the battery and under the hood. There’s no fail safe relay on that one
    2
  6448. Essentially yes.
    2
  6449. Hi! Not easily added on as it has more than just the motors
    2
  6450. I would take it to the dealership to get it inspected it’s still under warranty. Do take a picture of the message so they can see it and save yourself all the explaining
    2
  6451. Hi! Toyota doesn’t offer anything under their name but a product called fluid film works well
    2
  6452. Hi! Generally you don’t want to drive any car into a flood however if the flood doesn’t reach the doors and enter the car interior you should be ok
    2
  6453. Hi! It’s not a conventional CvT. It’s an eCVt without a single clutch or belt or chain or anything really that normally breaks in normal cvts
    2
  6454. Honestly that would’ve been a great thing to add to this video! I don’t have the car anymore but I’ll measure it
    2
  6455. Hi! They are good trucks just find one that’s taken care of and not rusty
    2
  6456. Yes
    2
  6457. The transmission is very reliable on hybrids.
    2
  6458. Hi! Yes you can install a trickle charger. I would find a way to install it directly at the battery in the baxk
    2
  6459. Hi! Many reasons why cost is one of them
    2
  6460. Hi! Yes the light will go off on its own.
    2
  6461. No model with a bench seat that I’ve seen.
    2
  6462. Hi! If you don’t have snow or beach driving AWD is pointless honestly.
    2
  6463. I wouldn’t worry about the parking brake engaging it’s not a problem and personally I would change the oil every 5k miles
    2
  6464. Hi! Unfortunately that’s a safety feature that can’t be over ridden. However here’s what I suggest. Turn off the power sliding door and have passengers open it and close it manually. That puts much less stress on the door power mechanism and it will last much longer and actually make the operation faster. The button to turn them off is near your left knee when sitting in the drivers seat.
    2
  6465. Please ask your question in the comments
    2
  6466. Hi! The AWD is a good option in this van and definitely not new to this van. All wheel drive hybrids has been around since the first highlander hybrid
    2
  6467. Hybrid batteries can last over 200k battery if taken care of
    2
  6468. Hi! It’s a Toyota approved accessory it doesn’t void your warranty.
    2
  6469. They should gradually heat up. The dealership can test them with a thermal imager
    2
  6470. Racing is an open term and applies to any competitive Motorsport timed or not. But in the real world it mostly applies to street racing.
    2
  6471. Hi! It shouldn’t cause any issues with warranty as long as everything was installed properly and done right.
    2
  6472. If that remote starter causes issues then it will be affected
    2
  6473. Hi! Unless it causes issues it shouldn’t
    2
  6474. Hi! Honestly I would wait until it’s time to replace it.
    2
  6475. If you use an official Toyota accessory it doesn’t void your warranty
    2
  6476. Hi! It shouldn’t as long as it’s the correct size
    2
  6477. Hi! Unless it’s proven that you exceeded the towing capacity of your car then it shouldn’t affect it.
    2
  6478. Honestly when it comes to coolant I recommend original pink super long life. For the cost difference it’s not worth it
    2
  6479. That’s loud! Did this ever run out of oil and was the oil changed frequently?
    2
  6480. Upload it to YouTube
    2
  6481. Hi! Will need to hear and diagnose the noise to be able to help
    2
  6482. Hi! 0w16 I personally use Toyota original oil and a 90915-YZZN1 oil filter
    2
  6483. Hi! If it’s applied correctly and not over sprayed over areas where they don’t need to go it shouldn’t cause issues
    2
  6484. Dealerships will sell original parts normally. If they are not they should clearly disclose that. Counterfeit are unlikely because dealership that would do that won’t be around long
    2
  6485. Hi Joel! I think you did good. That’s a good warranty. It’s a Toyota so you likely won’t use it for big things but it’s the little things that can add up over time. Anything you see with the car bring it up and have it taken care of.
    2
  6486. That would be a disaster waiting to happen for that dealership. Dealerships that do that have a way of getting caught always.
    2
  6487. Hi! Not always. Unless there’s a direct correlation
    2
  6488. Hi! Toyota doesn’t publish such information for their filtration requirements that I know of or have seen. Aftermarket filters hopefully will meet the filtration capabilities of the original filter and some might exceed it. But exceeding it doesn’t mean that it will be better. The original filter specs are what’s needed to maintain this particular engine in a healthy fashion. And as far as warranty if there’s suspicion that the filter might be the cause of failure it will be investigated
    2
  6489. Yes the same
    2
  6490. Should be around 99-115
    2
  6491. Hi! Do the procedure in the video and utilize the light
    2
  6492. It’s easier for the dealership to do a flush. But if requested they should be able to do a drain and fill
    2
  6493. Usually recommended around 60k or 6 years you’re still good to change it at 80k. The filter is underneath the transmission pan and can be replaced but if the fluid is changed on time you don’t need to worry about it
    2
  6494. Hi! It’s simple to do diy but you will have to do the fluid level check similar to the trucks. You don’t need a scan tool
    2
  6495. Yes it does
    2
  6496. Hi I wouldn’t replace the filter if you change the fluid on time
    2
  6497. Hi! You could but on some trucks the bolts for the trans pan are common to break so be careful
    2
  6498. Hi. It’s not too late to replace it. Just do a single drain and fill
    2
  6499. Hi! Eventually the beating will wear off and throw the belt. I would get it taken care of as soon as possible.
    2
  6500. Hi! Before you start the car
    2
  6501. Try it but if it’s D and solid then it’s within the temperature and you need to adjust the fluid
    2
  6502. Hi! When the light comes on solid you can adjust your fluid. If it starts flashing it’s too hot shut it off and wait for it to cool down
    2
  6503. Hi! Usually Toyota hoses last a very long time. With the car cold squeeze the hoses. If they’re rock hard and you can’t squeeze them then replace them with original hoses and new original clamps. If they’re soft and move I would leave them alone. Dry install is recommended and always replace the clamps with original clamps
    2
  6504. Hi! Most of them yes
    2
  6505. Hi! Yes https://youtu.be/eRxSu4-4ojo
    2
  6506. I wouldn’t honestly. I would do a drain and fill every 6 years or 60k miles and call it a day
    2
  6507. Hi! Honestly at this mileage I would leave it alone
    2
  6508. Hi! Either use vacuum bleeder or pressure bleeder
    2
  6509. Likely yes. Drive it for a week and double check the fluid level
    2
  6510. Shut off the engine and let things cool down then restart the procedure when the light is solid on
    2
  6511. Hi! First thing is to compare it to another similar car. Did you just buy this car? Was it always heavy?
    2
  6512. Hi! Typically dealerships will do a flush and check the level afterwards. A flush is good for your mileage
    2
  6513. They’ve been doing this in the newer models. Unfortunately your only way then is to use a scan tool
    2
  6514. A drain and fill would be safer in this case
    2
  6515. Hi! I wouldn’t honestly.
    2
  6516. Hi! If memory serves right they come on around 250. If it comes on it’s not too late but if you keep driving for long with it on then yes
    2
  6517. Hi David! The dealership can do this. Some dealerships don’t want to deal with transmission fluid so they hide behind the “lifetime” fluid however most will replace the transmission fluid.
    2
  6518. Hi! I’d have to look to check but likely not.
    2
  6519. Hi! It should be good once it enters fluid check mode it stays. Also you’re shifting from neutral to drive back and forth not reverse.
    2
  6520. Hi! Relatively level. For example parking it on and inclined driveway is not level. Or lifting the front of the car only is not level. But 4 jack stands works
    2
  6521. Yes. Review the video in the description
    2
  6522. Yes you can
    2
  6523. Hi! You can grease them with the wheels off the ground or on the ground
    2
  6524. Hi! Grease it until it comes out
    2
  6525. Hi! Sometimes it does take long depending on which temp you started with.
    2
  6526. Hi! The frame should be relatively level.
    2
  6527. Hi! On average $200-$300
    2
  6528. Actually if you read into your maintenance manual if you do towing you should replace it at 60k or 6 years. Towing is not specified as towing at max capacity or towing a bicycle. From experience every 60k 6 years keeps the transmission protected
    2
  6529. Look for temps between 99-114 on both
    2
  6530. Hi! I would replace it
    2
  6531. Hi! Just shut off the car and restart it and it’s out of the check mode
    2
  6532. Hi! Yes it still will while you’re in park
    2
  6533. Hi! Prices will vary greatly but usually around $200-$250
    2
  6534. Hi! When the light is on solid you need to adjust the fluid. When it starts flashing stop and shut it off and let it cool off
    2
  6535. Hi! It’s basically the same process. In the description I left a link to another video I did a while back which pertains to your venza
    2
  6536. Hi! At the dealership a scan tool is used. And there’s another special tool to allow for fluid level check at operating temperature
    2
  6537. Hi! In my opinion 2011-2015 for simplicity. 2018-2021 for features
    2
  6538. It would be just before you start checking the fluid level
    2
  6539. Hi! There’s high risk you can cause more harm than good at this mileage
    2
  6540. Hi! Yes running in park
    2
  6541. Yes
    2
  6542. Honestly I haven’t seen a single transmission issue for Toyota caused by the filter. Sure the other filter might work better on an infomercial but in the real world it doesn’t really do more
    2
  6543. Hi Jake, I would absolutely not! Double filter doesn’t mean double the filtration! But to each their own
    2
  6544. Hi! Yes it’s the same. Here’s a video closer to your rav4 https://youtu.be/eRxSu4-4ojo
    2
  6545. Hi! Did the truck sit overnight?
    2
  6546. Hi! I got it from Home Depot
    2
  6547. You can. As long as it’s not a sloped garage or clearly not straight you should be good. It doesn’t have to be laser straight.
    2
  6548. Hi! 60k transmission fluid changes is good
    2
  6549. Hi! You’ll want to pin the thermostat when checking the fluid level
    2
  6550. Hi! No need to do that before you drain. Just before you start the procedure to check the fluid level
    2
  6551. Hi! I don’t encourage a DIY flush as you’ll need a machine to get it right. I would just drain and fill
    2
  6552. You can drain it when the truck sits overnight which is actually preferred
    2
  6553. Hi! Not really. The filter is large and those particles are normal and not a concern
    2
  6554. Hi! Pull the jumper wire and keep the engine running in park as you adjust the fluid lebel
    2
  6555. No but CVt transmissions can’t be flushed on your corolla.
    2
  6556. On the lift kit, suspension wise caster is not adjustable on these. Camber is very slightly adjustable you just loosen the 2 bolts holding the front struts and move the wheel. You can get or make your own camber bolts to adjust it further. The rear has tow adjustment but if you custom make some eccentric you can move camber as well. Other than the suspension the front radar and recognition camera might have issues working right with a lift. The seats are identical. Toyota has to give you the speech to prevent law suits. But seat covers need to be air bags compatible. Seat covers for the back seat shouldn’t block the vent for the hybrid battery fan. Otherwise you’re good
    2
  6557. That’s too much. Usually 250-300 is the most at dealerships and that’s for a flush with 12 quarts. Less with a drain and fill
    2
  6558. Hi! Just adjust the level without draining and top it off as needed.
    2
  6559. Which model?
    2
  6560. The picture In the video is from a sequoia actually. It’s on the passenger side of the transmission
    2
  6561. Replacing the brake fluid is very simple on most toyota. Pressure or vacuum to pull or push the fluid to the bleeders
    2
  6562. You’d be surprised…..
    2
  6563. Hi! The problem is the fuel pump itself. Was the fuel pump replaced under the recall or not yet?
    2
  6564. Fuel trims on a start up are kinda of irrelevant until the engine starts to warm up and goes into closed loop
    2
  6565. When the engine is cold it will run richer. Once it reaches a pre set temperatures it goes back to regular operation. That will be covered in the next part in this series with oxygen sensors
    2
  6566. Yes that is the D4S system
    2
  6567. Hi Alex! Thank you so much for watching my videos! On the recall they’re rolling the fuel pump replacements in phases. You’ll get another notification when the phase has opened for your car. Alternatively you could call your local dealership give them your vin and have them check.
    2
  6568. Hi! The stuff you pour into the tank won’t cause harm but doesn’t do miracles either as long as you’re not overpaying for them it’s ok. Mobil 1 seems to do well with Toyota
    2
  6569. Hi! How’s the battery?
    2
  6570. Hi! It’s just a software tweak to prioritize performance over economy. So the throttle response is sharpened and the transmission shift points are improved
    2
  6571. I personally wet the o rings with fuel and install them
    2
  6572. Hi! On some models you can get the filter but really it rarely gets dirty and not worth replacing at all.
    2
  6573. Hi! The fuel pump is getting replaced not the fuel filter. So the assembly has everything but the recall is only replacing the pump itself
    2
  6574. Hi! The fuel filter is not serviceable on your Toyota. Is it part of the fuel pump and no replacement is needed and usually lasts the life of the car.
    2
  6575. Hi! If you drive short trips often it’s not idea to run that service
    2
  6576. Hi! On newer engines and especially those with D4S there are fuel pressure sensors and it can be checked with a scan tool.
    2
  6577. Hi! If the part number of the pads has YZZ in it then they’re value pads if it doesn’t then they’re factory original. You can ask parts that you want factory pads not value pads
    2
  6578. The fluid is likely the ac drain. But the noise could be something stuck in the fan. Remove the cabin filter and reach in to see if there’s any leaves stuck in the blower motor
    2
  6579. Hey brother. It could be the AC drain. Could you describe the exact area it comes out from?
    2
  6580. Hi! Do the fuel injectors have issues? They don’t really have a replacement interval and unless they have issues I wouldn’t replace them. If you are replace them you can get refurbished as long as they’re from a good supplier
    2
  6581. I actually wet them with fuel when I install them.
    2
  6582. Hi! It wouldn’t hurt but with good maintenance it won’t be needed.
    2
  6583. You got it! I’m actually thinking of giving a tour of my equipment maybe very soon
    2
  6584. Hi! Yes they operate in the same way
    2
  6585. Hi! Thank you for watching my video! Honestly if you find a battery that fits and has a side vent that the vent in the car can connect to then it’s good. I personally would go original and save yourself the headache or research batteries that are specifically designed to fit the 3rd gen prius
    2
  6586. Hi! It could be normal. How’s your battery? On these engines when the battery is not good it will actually crank but won’t start right away
    2
  6587. Hi! So your 18 4Runner has Multi-Port injection which is not direct injection just good old dependable port injectors. One for each cylinder for a total of 6
    2
  6588. Hi Marjan! So the 14.7:1 is an air/fuel mixture ratio. The 13.0:1 is the compression ratio for the engine. Two different things.
    2
  6589. It could be normal as they are balanced and not Always with the same weights
    2
  6590. Ok that might be a center bearing issue. Best way to verify is to lift all 4 wheels off the ground and have some sit and spin the tires at speed and watch the movement. If you see it move and vibrate then it’s bad and needs replacement
    2
  6591. That actually could be normal. Do you have any noise or vibration concerns?
    2
  6592. Hi! The computer can’t tell what’s going on. When it picks up a misfire in one cylinder it will shut off both direct and port and ignition for that cylinder
    2
  6593. Hi John. They do last longer easier when kept in the garage. However if you don’t have one you can do things to get the same results like covers and regular washing and care
    2
  6594. Yes! Toyota actually at some point had them as a service part
    2
  6595. Hi! The code I believe was p0037 or something similar to that.
    2
  6596. Merry Christmas!
    2
  6597. Hi! The tow/haul holds gears longer to help slow down the truck and give you more power when accelerating. On the studs I wouldn’t use different studs! I would find wheels that fit the car well as this can be a safety issue
    2
  6598. Honestly I haven’t seen or heard of much issues with the air suspension on Sequoia models. Just make sure they are placed in service mode before lifting as most people don’t know that it actually has a service mode. Service mode = manual or neutral on the suspension settings
    2
  6599. That’s the only downside and what’s going to take them out of many peoples shopping list
    2
  6600. Thank you!
    2
  6601. Hi! I can’t really discuss recalls in details. I’m sorry.
    2
  6602. The tundra got updated with a V6 twin turbo and likely the Sequoia will either follow or get taken out at some point
    2
  6603. Hi! Honestly I don’t have experience with LPG cars or the conversion
    2
  6604. Yes and it would have a differential built in as well on the highlander
    2
  6605. Hi! Not yet I’ll do one when I get one in the shop
    2
  6606. No not yet. Good idea. Added to the list
    2
  6607. Thank you! The 4WD is very similar. The only real difference between the Sequoia and the tundra is the rear. Solid axle on the tundra multi link and CV axles on the Sequoia
    2
  6608. Hi! Very hard to get hands on one here in Chicago. Hoping soon we’ll get one
    2
  6609. 😂
    2
  6610. Hi! If they’re pliable and don’t have obvious signs of dry rot I wouldn’t replace them
    2
  6611. Not as much as the previous generation
    2
  6612. Hi! It was an option in certain trims. They’re not common to have issues
    2
  6613. Hi! Honestly I wouldn’t attempt it. Sequoias don’t get good gas mileage because of how ancient they are. You’d potentially run the risk of ruining the best thing about the sequoia which is absolute reliability for the sake of a few more mpgs.
    2
  6614. Do this and see if it improves. Start the engine cold. Don’t rev it up or drive it at all. Let it warm up for 5-10 minutes at idle. Then rev it up to 2500 rpm and hold it for 3-5 minutes then let it idle and see if it quiets down
    2
  6615. No thank you. I would pass unless you know what you are buying.
    2
  6616. Hi! They are both good in their own way. The Sequoia is more family/practical oriented. The land cruiser is a lot more off road capable and at least in the US has much nicer materials overall. But reliability the Sequoia is very close
    2
  6617. Hi! Hoping to get a video filmed soon on that. Really hard to get a hold of the newest cars these days
    2
  6618. Hi! It shouldn’t be an issue just watch the transmission temperatures and if they climb too much then consider adding a transmission cooler
    2
  6619. Hi! I wouldn’t do anything with the chain, tensioners and water pump unless they’re issues. Spark plugs should’ve been replaced at 120k. Was the coolant replaced?
    2
  6620. Thank you!
    2
  6621. Hi! You can’t go wrong with the 2nd gen Sequoia if you don’t mind the gas mileage. The new generation is completely different and all new. I’ll update more as I get my hands on one
    2
  6622. Filmed and coming up very very soon.
    2
  6623. In this style bearing on Toyota and Lexus the speed sensor reads off of the axle so it doesn’t have a magnetic strip on the bearing
    2
  6624. Hi! I usually don’t recommend buying an ex rental car
    2
  6625. Not as needed as before as this car is well covered underneath
    2
  6626. With carvana be careful as we’ve seen a few cars that had obvious issues that they missed. But I like their model of sales. As soon as you get the car take it to your trusted mechanic or a dealership for a full paid inspection. Make sure you got a good one. If not send it back before you get a chance to adjust the seats
    2
  6627. Replace the roller. Support the door when you remove any of the rollers
    2
  6628. Hi! Is this the roller that goes underneath the back glass?
    2
  6629. Hi! Labor rates have gone up. Parts at least at the dealership where I work didn’t go up but I wouldn’t be surprised if they go up as well.
    2
  6630. Hi! If the car is running fine otherwise and doesn’t need anything else and you like it why not
    2
  6631. Hi! I wouldn’t have an opinion unless that Tacoma is sitting in front of me in an area with correct lighting and a paint depth gauge at hand. Because if the original paint is that bad on this Tacoma, Toyota is the one that needs to be looking at it. And if it’s had body work before then it all goes out the window.
    2
  6632. Toyota is saying that the price of the car should be MSRP. That’s not true
    2
  6633. Hi! Don’t have specifics on mazda but draining the oil and checking it for flakes will answer the question if it was needed or not
    2
  6634. Hi! Not like before no
    2
  6635. Hi! As far as I know they are taking orders but the wait time is extremely long
    2
  6636. Hi! It depends on the dealership honestly.
    2
  6637. Hi! Yes it does have a timing chain
    2
  6638. You’ll want to know a fair value for the car as well
    2
  6639. If you don’t have to I would wait
    2
  6640. Hi! It will lose some basic memory but not computer memory
    2
  6641. Hi! It’s because of the car shortage. Makes no sense
    2
  6642. Not sure if the aftermarket solutions will show that
    2
  6643. Hi! It’s possible but not original. There are many aftermarket solutions for HUD some of them as simple as a mount for your phone and an app
    2
  6644. Hi! It’s a good car. Price is very high but these are the times we live in
    2
  6645. Hi! MSRP plus taxes and fees
    2
  6646. Hi! It will need diagnosis honestly to determine what’s the source possibly a bearing
    2
  6647. Hi! I think the residual value of a lease is locked in the lease contract so they can’t play with that but to be on the safe side make sure you review your lease papers to see the residual value after the lease.
    2
  6648. Hi! The delivery and processing fee is part of the deal and usually clearly outlined in the original window sticker
    2
  6649. I hear you. 1000 is pretty high for a deposit 500 is more like it
    2
  6650. Hi! I would keep the car until you get your new one in. The estimates for car arrivals are very inaccurate these days
    2
  6651. You could but car dealerships that don’t allow you to inspect the car well isn’t a good thing
    2
  6652. Hi! Going from a Avalon to a Yaris will be a stretch. Going to a Camry or RAV4 is better. Have you also considered a 2014 Avalon?
    2
  6653. Hi! These are good SUVs. They drive ok not the most thrilling drive but their high pro is reliability over a long ownership. Likely biggest con is their price if you’re keeping it for a short period of time. You can find actual MSRP by building a similar one to Lexus website or on the original factory window sticker on the car
    2
  6654. The private seller market seem to be slowly following suit as people realize once they sell their car they cant easily find a replacement for a normal price
    2
  6655. Hi! The black badges hold on well. I haven’t seen any issues with them. Typically the liners don’t come with the car unless it’s in the options list. Ask the dealership to verify
    2
  6656. Hi! If the weather is hot it’s a very good idea to do so always
    2
  6657. Hi! The price is up there and almost like a price of a new one. At that price I’d see if you get a new one honestly. And no issue buying a toyota from a non toyota dealership but an inspection is still recommended
    2
  6658. I wouldn’t use thicker oil as that masks the problem not fix it. Might be vvti gears but this will need diagnosis
    2
  6659. Hi! Is it a continuous noise or just a rattle for a few seconds?
    2
  6660. Hi! Honestly is it worth it at this price especially if you’re not going to put extreme high mileage and get to 100k in 2 years
    2
  6661. Unfortunately in this market it’s hard as there’s shortage and that plays to their advantage. Some dealerships are doing the right thing and not inflating their prices past MSRP.
    2
  6662. They can Add it. I always encourage folks to negotiate when buying a car
    2
  6663. Hi! That is a good year RX hybrid to buy
    2
  6664. No worries! Happy new year
    2
  6665. Hi! Don’t remember mentioning a Subaru channel. Which timestamp(
    2
  6666. Honestly the Camry and Avalon are pretty equal in reliability with the Avalon overall cost of ownership other than reliability being slightly higher
    2
  6667. Yes that’s the start of a leak. Oil collects dirt and that’s why it looks like that. If you’re buying one don’t buy one leaking. If your car is leaking and has warranty get it fixed. If you don’t have warranty then clean it and see how long it takes to come back and go from there
    2
  6668. BMBangladesh very true but believe me not as common as others. Out of every 20 water pumps on that v6 we do 1 or none is a 15-17 Camry. It seems like sienna and highlanders are the most common.
    2
  6669. Hi! Unintended acceleration is a tricky one. I would make sure your floor mat is placed properly and that you only have one floor mat as that causes unintended acceleration if it gets trapped under the pedal
    2
  6670. You’re welcome! Really good car you got!
    2
  6671. Bring it to the dealerships attention
    2
  6672. Hi! Powertrain should cover leaks from the engine.
    2
  6673. I think it’s a great car. Take care of it and it will take care of you.
    2
  6674. This noise is a common one with hybrids. It’s usually either air trapped in the system or a micro crack in the accumulator letting air in. Try to scan tool bleed the brakes. If it doesn’t go I would leave it alone. Many of hybrid models make this noise and no other issues come out of it. If you have any kind of extended warranty then get it fixed otherwise don’t worry
    2
  6675. I don’t see a risk. There’s no clutches or any sort of sensitive hydraulic circuit unlike a conventional automatic trans
    2
  6676. Some rattle on cold start up could be normal for these engines. The problem rattle is a deep metallic noise that sometimes lasts up to 5 seconds.
    2
  6677. Hi! I would replace it at 120k with the spark plugs. And you can get to it through the wheel well but it’s not very simple and can be difficult to do this way. Easier longer route would be to take the intake manifold off
    2
  6678. Your best bet in this situation is to record the noise on video to show them. It could be an axle making noise if it happens when making sharp turns and accelerating.
    2
  6679. When does the Noise happens?
    2
  6680. Thank you for watching my video Ed! Have a wonderful day my brother.
    2
  6681. The Avalon and Camry ride very similar with the Avalon having a slightly better ride at highway speeds because of the longer wheelbase
    2
  6682. Yes it’s a good car as long as you’re buying a good one. Make sure it’s inspected properly
    2
  6683. I think they’re good cars but there are a few possible issues I see. First they are not very DIY friendly. Both the engine and transmission are very complicated and not easy to work on. Some transmission issues in the first year of production which is 2018. We’ve seen really very few issues with then other than this but overall if you make sure everything is good with the transmission you shouldn’t have issues with it.
    2
  6684. Hi! I would have the dealership attempt to reset the transmission memory to start and see if this improves things.
    2
  6685. That’s in the plans. And will be on the next round of videos coming up in the near future
    2
  6686. There no direct answer to why they did this. But the working theory is to make it harder for consumers to change the fluid level and cause issues. A more realistic theory is cost and moisture exposure to the fluid. I see so many transmissions that come with the dipstick pulled out and not seated or missing the sealing o ring
    2
  6687. Hi! Keeping the rest of the maintenance like fluids and filters is pretty much it. Replace tires when needed and brakes when needed. The more oil changes you can do the better. And you are very realistic in your 350k expectation.
    2
  6688. Hi! Prices vary by area but if the car is in very good condition then it’s worth it.
    2
  6689. I think you got a pretty good car for a pretty good price. I wouldn’t worry too much. You’ll have this car for a long time.
    2
  6690. That rattle from the roof is likely the infamous clunk from the roof structure. Nothing is broken and the fix is not hard just time consuming and involves removing the sun roof
    2
  6691. The 2017 Camry has regular cable operated parking brakes. 2018 was the first year that electronic parking brakes was available.
    2
  6692. Hi! Thank you for watching my channel! I would change the transmission fluid every 60k or in your case every 6 years.
    2
  6693. Cole Lockridge i think coming from a problematic gs300 you’ll like the reliability and simplicity of the corolla
    2
  6694. Cole Lockridge don’t be sorry! Glad to help. Check the car for leaks. They had a common leak from the engine. As long as everything looks dry underneath you’re good. Also make sure all electronics work they had some issues with door locks. Also they had a common electrical issue with the power steering, turn the wheel left and right very fast when it’s parked and make sure the steering doesn’t all of a sudden get hard to turn. Otherwise everything else are small things. I’d stay within 2010-2013 the 2009 had the most issues with water pumps leaking and oil leaks.
    2
  6695. Planning on it and I hope soon
    2
  6696. Hi! They’re still holding up very well. Just make sure you buy one with good maintenance history and you won’t regret it
    2
  6697. Awesome choice!
    2
  6698. I’m glad I could help!
    2
  6699. Thank you for watching my videos. I don’t really have experience with the Honda Accord hybrid.
    2
  6700. Hi! It’s a good upgrade for this model
    2
  6701. That’s very true. All new cars are good. It’s in year 5-10 where Toyota really shines and really goes beyond shining in 10-15+ when compared to other makes.
    2
  6702. Prices will vary by area but that seems to be an ok price. If the car is in good condition with good service history it’s a very good car to buy
    2
  6703. Hi! Drain and fill every 60k or 6 years and flush is ok if followed by a level check. Filter I wouldn’t bother as they will easily last the life of the transmission
    2
  6704. Glad I could help! Good luck with the purchase!
    2
  6705. It’s possible that it’s still under powertrain warranty I would take it to the dealership as soon as possible because the warranty runs out at 60k miles
    2
  6706. Hi. Toyota warranty doesn’t cover impact damage.
    2
  6707. Hi! If price is not an issue I would buy a new one. 2015-2017 for their simplicity and reliability and 2019+ for their tech and overall package value
    2
  6708. I would say 15-17 not 18 and up. It’s still a simple car with very low maintenance easy to drive and has good visibility all around for a new driver. The 18+ is also an excellent car however they cost more and are a bit more complex and generally lower to the ground. I wouldn’t hesitate to get a 15-17 Camry for a new driver in my family.
    2
  6709. Hi! If it’s a comprehensive warranty not just powertrain then it’s worth it at that price. If you have the warranty don’t worry about the fluid as if it’s never had the fluid changed I would be hesitant to replace it at this mileage
    2
  6710. Hi! I think 30k is too early. I usually recommend pcv valves alongside the spark plugs at 120k for your car. That’s a little too early and I wouldn’t worry about it now
    2
  6711. Hi! It’s a TSB for front sway bar bushings. I’ll look up the number of the TSB tomorrow
    2
  6712. Hi! In the us it’s 5 years or 60k miles
    2
  6713. Hi! They are reliable if it has good service history
    2
  6714. Likely the issue is the radio itself and a replacement is needed
    2
  6715. Does the noise happen at lower speeds and very light acceleration?
    2
  6716. Absoloutly! It will be coming up in the next few weeks
    2
  6717. That’s a good car. Check everything mentioned in the video, if it all checks out and it has good service history and has been maintained then it should be a good car to buy
    2
  6718. Hi! It should be ok for a drain and fill
    2
  6719. Upload it to YouTube and share the link
    2
  6720. Interesting. Would be able to record a video so I can hear the sound?
    2
  6721. I would inspect the brakes before replacing them.
    2
  6722. Hi! That could be pad shift which is a normal condition. Try this to verify it. As soon as you put it in reverse and you hear it stop the car and shift into drive then see if you hear again on the first brake application and let me know
    2
  6723. I’d go check it out. If it’s good I wouldn’t hesitate these are really good cars when taken care of
    2
  6724. Hi! The weird shift over time can be resolved with a scan tool trans memory reset
    2
  6725. Flushing should be ok in this case
    2
  6726. Hi! If it’s a dealership you had good experience with I’d say yes
    2
  6727. Hi! I haven’t seen one myself but I hear good things about that company
    2
  6728. Hi! If memory serves right all of them are part time Awd. Which year are you looking to buy?
    2
  6729. If it doesn’t say LSD only on the diff then yes you can
    2
  6730. Hi! On your model not center locking diff. And it’s a spline engagement with a silent chain.
    2
  6731. Hi Jason. They are both reliable. The electric one as long as it’s regularly moved it should be very good. The manual one still has an electric actuator in the front differential. And honestly the condition of the two cars and their service history is more important if you ask me than the shifter option. Go with the better truck
    2
  6732. It’s possible. Usually when they seize you can sometimes tap of them or actuate them manual by applying power and sometimes even take them out and free the sleeve but if this was under warranty they won’t bother with trial and error they’ll just install a new one
    2
  6733. Hi! So the shift lever is very reliable. But they still have the front add actuator. They are both reliable as long as they are shifted frequently
    2
  6734. You can purchase access to it for as low as $20 for a couple of days. Techinfo.Toyota.com. You won’t need it everyday but when you do you can access it and find everything you need directly from Toyota.
    2
  6735. The manual recommends you drive it in 4Hi for 10 miles monthly.
    2
  6736. I wouldn’t use any water or interior cleaner unless there’s a stain. Just a microfiber towel to wipe the dust off
    2
  6737. Hi! I would engage 4lo and the diff locks but just let the truck roll a little bit in a straight line then go out of it. You don’t want to drive in 4lo on dry pavement
    2
  6738. Hi! I wouldn’t use part time 4WD on dry pavement. Replace the transfer case fluid along with the differentials every 30k miles
    2
  6739. Hi! You’d need a new transfer case and front differential. And likely a lot of custom wiring to get everything working.
    2
  6740. Hi! The actuator is actually pretty reliable if used frequently. The abs sensors other than carrying spares not much can be done for them
    2
  6741. The axles are still spinning and part of the differential is but not the prop shaft
    2
  6742. Hi! If you have a use for it like driving over a dirt road frequently perhaps Awd is not a bad idea. A 4Runner might be too much for your needs but a RAV4 or highlander might be better unless you like the 4Runner
    2
  6743. Hi! The seize can happen in both models as the model with the physical shifter still has an actuator in the front.
    2
  6744. Hi! I personally haven’t seen that done on a limited
    2
  6745. Thank you for your comment. Please look into the Multi mode VF4AM transfer case that came in V6 4Runner models from the 4th generation. It does have 2Hi, 4Hi-F, 4Hi-L and 4LO. The 5th generation limited models are full time AWD or 4WD however you want to call it.
    2
  6746. Honestly as The tech librarian mentioned it’s hard to tell exactly. I would expect a battery replacement around 5 years however it could be longer or shorter. Best thing I can recommend is to test the battery yearly and when it does fail replace it even if the car still starts.
    2
  6747. Hi! If you plan to modify it like a lift kit…etc then go with the SR5. If you want the best version off roading model and don’t plan to modify just keep it stock then the trd pro
    2
  6748. Honestly all the 5th generation is good
    2
  6749. Yes in this generation
    2
  6750. Hi! That’s likely the actuator on the transfer case that’s seized
    2
  6751. Hi! Crawl control is all software that uses multiple systems and sensors that the car already has. Very simple operation wise but the software is complicated
    2
  6752. Hi! This one is very hard to guess without diagnosis in person
    2
  6753. Everyone has their opinion and I respect that.
    2
  6754. Hi! You’ll want to get codes and see what’s going on. Hard to pin point it otherwise. Codes are stored even when lights are off but ideally check it when the lights are on. You’ll need a capable scan tool that can read all computer codes
    2
  6755. Hi! The newer ones don’t have fittings. Sealed u joints.
    2
  6756. I wouldn’t drive a 4Runner up to 130 honestly but did your tires change?
    2
  6757. I think either will work perfectly if you follow the recommendation of shifting it once every month.
    2
  6758. Thank you Jose!
    2
  6759. Thank you for watching Jose! I was shocked that my w163 transfer motor wasn’t seized when I tried it! Likely hasn’t been used in years
    2
  6760. Thank you for your comment. It’s hard to always get it right with simplifying kinda of a complicated system honestly. You and me think it’s simple but others won’t. And you wouldn’t believe how many TRD pro 4Runner models I see that never see off road aside from going over the curb at the mall.
    2
  6761. They’re listed as the some but likely the full time can get less gas mileage.
    2
  6762. Very similar but uses vacuum
    2
  6763. Yes that’s normal on this particular model. It does stabilize once started
    2
  6764. And hold your breath too 😂
    2
  6765. A stronger spring. But if you take it apart and clean it well, it will work for some time then back to it. It’s a common thing with the LS430
    2
  6766.  @volvo09  that is so strange. All processing is completed on my side. I’ll contact YouTube to see if they’re having an issue
    2
  6767. Is it still not working? Please let me know
    2
  6768. 🤐 don’t get us in trouble 😂
    2
  6769. 😃 coming up in the next episode wednesday
    2
  6770. Failed. We’re scraping the car 😂 I’m gonna make it a point when we finalize the trunk to remove it
    2
  6771. Seat belts are very hard to clean. They did their best and they turned out very good but certain things you just can’t get back to new without replacement
    2
  6772. We’ll break down the costs in a future episode
    2
  6773. Hmmm… I can do that
    2
  6774. We haven’t repaired it yet. We’re working on scheduling and planning with a body shop to do this
    2
  6775. Thank you. This is how these are. All the gauges bounce when you first start the car but stays steady afterwards
    2
  6776. Hi! It’s a similar setup with the TNGA-C
    2
  6777. Hi! That code is for a solenoid that can be replaced. Could be caused by a low battery or dirty fluid. I would erase it first and see if it comes back
    2
  6778. Hi! Nothing bad by using it but no exact gain either honestly.
    2
  6779. Hi! It’s the biggest one they make. Here’s a video review I did of it. https://youtu.be/XWx9NAXzS8w
    2
  6780. Hi! Cost and the presence of Lexus is why
    2
  6781. Likely much harder to find at this point. The dealership will need to see if any are available anywhere
    2
  6782. Hi! The covers do a really good job protecting the bottom that it’s not as high priority
    2
  6783. That’s a new thing. I imagine manufacturing
    2
  6784. Hello my brother! TNGA stands for Toyota new global architecture.
    2
  6785. Hi! It still has a manual steering rack but with a motor to assist when turning instead of hydraulic pressure in the past
    2
  6786. Hi! The lift is a quick jack lift
    2
  6787. Thank you sir!
    2
  6788. Hi! I am curious about that one too. Will update once I review it
    2
  6789. Hi! On the hybrid the engine will run to warm up and provide heat. On the prime if it’s around 30 it will use the heat pump system and not run the engine
    2
  6790. Yes they do but you’re not always in defrost in the winter
    2
  6791. Awesome! They do really come in handy
    2
  6792. Uh oh! The adventures of working on cars! So there’s a grabber tool that has prongs that extend to grab things that you can’t grab with a magnet
    2
  6793. Yes it will
    2
  6794. Hi Marjan. I would leave it off to heat the engine faster. If you notice modern models with automatic climate control when you first start the car it will actually keep the fan off until the engine warms up then ramps up the fan speed
    2
  6795. Leave it on fresh air at all times
    2
  6796. Hi! Yes it does every 60k miles or 6 years
    2
  6797. Subaru past 10 years could cost more to maintain and could have more issues. Rav4s are a bit more expensive and has a less sophisticated Awd system than the Subarus. Depends on your plans for how long you’re keeping it and which one you like more
    2
  6798. Hi! The ac in modern cars will automatically disengage when theres a lot of load on the engine
    2
  6799. Hi! A healthy engine with a healthy cooling system will cope fine with high ambient temperature and ac running all the time. Parking for periods exceeding 1 hour without moving could put a tremendous strain on the AC system but normal driving you shouldn’t have any issues
    2
  6800. Hi! The screen mesh does a pretty good job actually you just have to keep it clean
    2
  6801. Hi! Find that information in this video https://youtu.be/0vwgmIsAefY
    2
  6802. Hi! There are 3 vents underneath the back seat with 2 10mm screws holding each one of them. These vents have a mesh build into them which is a filter.
    2
  6803. The battery on the RAV4 prime is very well constructed and thought out. I don’t think you’ll have issues with it down the road.
    2
  6804. Hi! Honestly at needed. I would check it every few months and adjust the interval as needed
    2
  6805. I’ll make a video soon on the Venza which has some details.
    2
  6806. It is a vent with a mesh filter built into it
    2
  6807. Hi! Here’s a video on the fan filter for your generation rav4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjGLG6jg-Mk
    2
  6808. Hi! No your Lexus will have 3 vents underneath the back seat with a built in Mesh filter
    2
  6809. Hi! Which year nx?
    2
  6810. I don’t have the number handy at the moment, the part department should be able to look it up if you show them
    2
  6811. Hi! Hold the outside of the clip while you turn the middle and it should come out
    2
  6812. Hi! So in this case you want to pry the screw out with a flat head screw driver. Likely it will break so plan on getting a new clip. In the meantime you can drive the car without issues as the rest of the clips will hold the door.
    2
  6813. Hi! Most of the heated components will affect your range as well as air conditioning but not majorly. Things that will significantly affect your range are things that affect the way it drives. Like tires, tire pressure, sticking brakes, heavy items in the car...etc at this time your prime should be getting very close if not exceed the EV range.
    2
  6814. Hi! The battery in the RAV4 prime is refrigerant cooled so no filter to worry about just the DCDC filter
    2
  6815. Hi! The hybrid battery in hybrids use air cooling. The transmission on some of them and the inverter uses coolant. The battery on some primes use the refrigerant from the AC to cool the battery.
    2
  6816. Hi! These 3 vents have a built in mesh filter. This is what you want to clean or keep clean
    2
  6817. The radiator will have a drain just like the hybrid system did on the Camry. Could be a bit buried with all the covers.
    2
  6818. Hi! No special tools required. The transmission has a drain and fill plug and what you drain on the hybrid transmission is everything no pan to take out. On the coolant it should be a drain at one side of the radiator to drain the coolant.
    2
  6819. Sorry! My bad
    2
  6820. Happy new year Michelle!
    2
  6821. Hi! You can use a small screw driver to pry the screw out of the clip. It might break which is not a big deal they’re not expensive to get a new one if it breaks from the dealership
    2
  6822. Vacuum or compressed air
    2
  6823. Hi! Under 10k I would stay away from 4 cylinders from 2006-2008 unless they were fixed by the dealership for oil burning. Be careful with 2009-2012 4 cylinders also for oil burning. V6 is good in all of those years the 2009-2012 is better. 2013-2015 RAV4s could be in your budget but be careful that it’s not a neglected car.
    2
  6824. Hi! Some of them do some don’t. I would either check it yourself or ask them.
    2
  6825. Very possible. I wouldn’t call them fuel pump issues. There was a manufacturing issue and Toyota being a company that takes care of their customers they issued a recall to replace them so you wouldn’t have problems. But once the pump is replaced everything is good and you won’t have reoccurring issues.
    2
  6826. Hi! The 2019 is good so far. We haven’t really seen much with them. It’s the same engine carried over and the 8 speed transmission it has is updated already.
    2
  6827. Some models will show a warning. Some of them will just go into safe mode and limit the performance and set codes.
    2
  6828. Usually not included in regular service
    2
  6829. Hard to put a specific time. This will depend on your use. I would start by checking it every month and adjust accordingly
    2
  6830. I’d have to look what the operating temperatures of the battery is on this one
    2
  6831. Hi! If the filter is clean the fan is likely clean as well. The fan is not known to have problems and typically lasts the life of the car unless it’s clogged then it fails which is not the case for your rav4
    2
  6832. Hi! There are 3 vents underneath the rear seat. They each have 2 small doors that open exposing 2 10mm screws remove the screws and the vent and there’s your filters.
    2
  6833. Hi! Should be just under the back seat. Hoping to get one soon to make a video for it
    2
  6834. Hi! It shouldn’t be an issue. It does put a stress on everything so keep up the maintenance especially oil changes early to compensate for the idling time
    2
  6835. Hi’ some do some don’t depends on where it’s sold and the trim
    2
  6836. By the location of the pins where the timing gear sits.
    2
  6837. Repair manual which is available from most manufacturers. Search techinfo then manufacturer name on google and you’ll find them. They are a paid subscription for most
    2
  6838. You want to distribute the force evenly. Doing it in one go to 180 could warp the head or put too much force on the head bolt.
    2
  6839. The rear wiper no. The funnel some specific years do
    2
  6840. Hi! Your RAV4 doesn’t have the same
    2
  6841. Hi! Overfilled once is not an issue. But repeated is an issue
    2
  6842. Hi! I am actually planning a video that will help but I’ll share this with you. You’ll want to adjust your driving habits a bit. Hybrids are at the best advantage for efficiency when they coast and when you brake lightly. Always attempt to coast early when you’re coming yo a stop
    2
  6843. Hi! Yes it was.
    2
  6844. I would use them. Better late than never
    2
  6845. Hi! That is oil coming down slowly from the timing cover onto the axle boot
    2
  6846. Hi! That’s a quick jack by bendpak and it’s fully mobile it doesn’t bolt down
    2
  6847. Hi! You could spray underneath with something like fluid film yearly or every couple of years to keep things from progressing
    2
  6848. Fluid film would help yes
    2
  6849. Hi! Usually the same reason intermediate shaft. Not a safety issue just annoying
    2
  6850. Hi! There’s the oil cooler line and then the rear bank vvti supply line which goes from the back of the engine towards the rear valve cover
    2
  6851. Hi! They did change them to all metal lines. I don’t have a video for this yet
    2
  6852. Hi! It’s a quick jack by bendpak
    2
  6853. Hi! Usually the seat frame comes loose
    2
  6854. Hi! The lift is made by quick Jack this is the 6000lbs model that is extra long. The flashlight is a bluepoint which is he economy line of snap on
    2
  6855. Hi! That model is not available in my area
    2
  6856. Hi! Flushes that are followed by a fluid level check and done at around 60k miles (100k kms) are ok
    2
  6857. Some suggested fluid film but I haven’t seen anything work that I can share
    2
  6858. Hi Mark. So a scan tool wouldn’t be able to pick an issue like this one. Scan tools read error codes generated by a computer. The headlight circuit in this car is a simple electrical circuit without computers involved
    2
  6859. Hi! 4Runners actually don’t have body plugs as it’s a body on frame truck design. But do consider spraying the frame with something like fluid film
    2
  6860. Hi! They are no longer like this since 2014
    2
  6861. Hi! Likely not as it still heats the glass and glass doesn’t like heat
    2
  6862. Hi! That actually sounds normal to me but if it didn’t do it before then let me ask you this. Was the throttle body cleaned recently or the battery disconnected?
    2
  6863. Hi! Not as much because it's a hybrid. But it is still somewhat buzzy under hard acceleration
    2
  6864. Hi Jose! The frame for rust is the biggest thing! Everything else is simple. Valve covers and water pumps are kinda common but very easy to change if they’re leaking. Otherwise it’s a solid truck.
    2
  6865. They are similar but the problem with the car is access. A mini split you can take apart on a bench. A cars heat pump is usually crammed in very tight spaces and most of the components you don’t have easy access to. Otherwise they’re somewhat similar
    2
  6866. Hi! It’s not located behind the bumper. It’s scattered in the engine bay and not easily damaged in an accident like the Prius prime
    2
  6867. That’s the only area I didn’t go heavy on because that’s when things get a bit confusing. I did illustrate it in the diagram for those that wanted to follow the state of the refrigerant
    2
  6868. Hi! I haven’t seen any to date other than crashed cars
    2
  6869. Hi! You should be ok but going forward do a single drain and fill. You were ok on mileage and age
    2
  6870. Interesting. Try to shake the exhaust in the back and see if you hear it
    2
  6871. Hi! Typically they can take a beating before a leak occurs I wouldn’t add anything as it can restrict the flow of air
    2
  6872. It will be fun to do so! I’ll let you know
    2
  6873. Yeah it gets hard to follow if you don’t have the diagram in front! I can send you the diagrams if you’d like.
    2
  6874. Hi! They’re really all the same. Hard to find them used in this market. If you’re not in a hurry I’d find one for MSRP and order a new one. No point in paying the same for a used one
    2
  6875. Hi! There was a whole driving section of this video unfortunately the footage got deleted by accident!
    2
  6876. Hi! The highlander is different. This system is similar to a RAV4
    2
  6877. I would check the fluid level and reset the transmission memory
    2
  6878. Hi! There are a lot of aftermarket options that are good. I don’t know exact brands as I use originals but I’d say the rotors middles that are painted are good. And original pads are actually not that expensive and I would encourage you to check them out
    2
  6879. Hi! If it’s leaking I would replace it. If it’s a very slight leak I would keep an eye on it for the time being
    2
  6880. They’re holding up pretty good. The fuel tank issue is fixed.
    2
  6881. The mileage is in consideration but not over maintenance records. If the higher mileage one is better maintained I’d go for that one.
    2
  6882. Hi! They’re identical. I would go with the one that is in better shape and has good service history
    2
  6883. It’s called eCVT and it doesn’t work the same as a conventional CVT find details in this video https://youtu.be/u15wHYuEFmU
    2
  6884. Hi! The 2016 RAV4 is a very good suv. The engine loses power on turns is usually low oil level which is caused by oil consumption which is caused by bad maintenance habits. The brake failure is very general. Their brakes don’t last as much but I would call that a failure. Electrical issues are not common except the radio.
    2
  6885. Hi! Honestly they are both good options. If you want good gas mileage the hybrid if you want simplicity then the non hybrid. I would drive the hybrid and see how you like it
    2
  6886. Hi! It’s just a small piece of folded metal on the door
    2
  6887. Most of the issues are resolved by 2019
    2
  6888. Hi! If you’re driving is regular but short distances then yes it’s enough
    2
  6889. Likely the seal failed. Honestly if it’s not too bad I wouldn’t replace them or look for used ones
    2
  6890. Any cracks on the housing? It is a common one. If it’s not too bad I wouldn’t replace it
    2
  6891. 2012 with a v6 is a good car. Keep up the maintenance and you should have no issued in
    2
  6892. Not aware of leaks from this sunroof caused by holes.
    2
  6893. I would verify that it’s coming from the torque converter. It could be from something else like brakes or tires mimicking the shudder. If it’s confirmed it will need the torque converter replaced.
    2
  6894. Hi! The ride should be similar between them. Only model that changed drastically was the avalon
    2
  6895. Yes the ac compressor is electric. That generation rav4 hybrid was kinda of an odd one to have a mechanical water pump
    2
  6896. Hi! The 2016-2018 RAV4 hybrid does have a belt driven mechanical water pump.
    2
  6897. Hi! The oil leak if for the 6 speed transmission on the years affected
    2
  6898. Hi! If the extended warranty didn’t cost you a lot I’d keep it but make sure you use it even for the smallest thing. Your model year rav4 is very reliable and issues you’ll use the warranty for are likely small and very minor things that otherwise you won’t even bother with. I wouldn’t be worried about the car without warranty if you choose to refund it
    2
  6899. I would consider staying with 5w20. 5w30 is good as well if your mileage is not affected no harm in staying with 5w30.
    2
  6900. Merry Christmas Michelle!
    2
  6901. It’s not a serious issue honestly. Just annoying sounds
    2
  6902. It could be the backing plate of the rear drum intermittently touching and causing the rubbing noise
    2
  6903. That should be ok as it’s ambient temperature. All hybrids will have a 12v battery to start things up. Usually located either in the back or the car or some models under the hood.
    2
  6904. Yes it should be covered by most good extended warranties.
    2
  6905. It’s located on the bottom sides of the back seat. You can clean it with a vacuum
    2
  6906. I wouldn’t not because of the Miles but because of the torque converter. If it’s not covered by Toyota that can get expensive to repair and the buying price should reflect it
    2
  6907. I would wait until it leaks more
    2
  6908. Hi! It likely has a small leak and needs replacement. If you normally service your car at a dealership bring it to their attention and see if they can cover it
    2
  6909. They’re all reliable with the later ones edging more on reliability so I would go with a 2016-2018 unless the 2013-2015 price is a lot less
    2
  6910. Hi! Depends how bad it’s leaking. If you’re noticing the coolant level dropping daily or weekly then it needs addressing as soon as possible. If it’s a slight leak you have some time just make sure to keep an eye on the coolant level to be on the safe side until it’s possible to replace it
    2
  6911. Hey brother. So no one got hurt other than my car 😢 but the car can be replaced people can’t. The RAV4 prime is an interesting car filled with technology and my long commute of 85 miles a day would help lower my fuel expenses. Really anything right now would lower my fuel expenses as the 2 cars I drive are below 15 mpg and endless money pits so this is going to need to happen soon. Being a mechanic it’s hard to buy a new car because normally even the worst car I’ve owned seems to last without issues. I probably won’t buy it until it’s easily available in the show rooms. I don’t like the Tesla style down payment and wait until you get the car.
    2
  6912. Hi! Regarding the transmission leak if it’s not leaking now then it’s good. On the shudder hard to tell if it will develop the issue or not. Does it show it as applicable for the warranty on the torque converter shifter?
    2
  6913. Trim is really a personal preference. I would go with the higher trims as the prices don’t differ much
    2
  6914. Hi! 2016-2018 are pretty identical in specs and reliability
    2
  6915. Thank you for watching! Im close to filming that video and posting it. Should be in the next few weeks
    2
  6916. Hi! It is safe to drive with the leak. If you don’t have any warranty on the car clean the leak and look at it on the next service of the car. If it’s not back to the same then it’s a minor leak that I wouldn’t worry about for now.
    2
  6917. When the torque converter engages you will feel it and if you accelerate lightly you’ll have a feeling similar to when you’re in 5th gear in a manual transmission and accelerate without downshifting at lower speeds. Kinda of a lugging feeling
    2
  6918. The update is available for some model but not android auto only apple car play
    2
  6919. Very reliable as well as transmissions in most hybrid models.
    2
  6920. Hi David. That is standard procedure for warranty. The dealership is just following guidelines which is verification of the source of the leak. Keep an eye on it when you see oil again in that area especially before your warranty runs out stop by and they’ll take it from there.
    2
  6921. Hi! Possibly different between markets. Nothing wrong with the nickel metal hydride battery.
    2
  6922. Hi! Honestly I don’t have information on the Mexican market rAv4 hybrid
    2
  6923. So the extra maintenance of replacing the transfer case and rear differential fluid. Also make sure if it’s ever towed, it’s done with all 4 wheels off the ground. When replacing tires make sure they are all matching
    2
  6924. Hi! Not sure which engines went where in Australia but the 2AR and the 3ZR are less prone to oil burning with good maintenance however neglect the maintenance and they can burn oil pretty badly too.
    2
  6925. It’s not a major issue. The leak is not a high pressure leak and after cleaning will take some time to reappear
    2
  6926. The oil pressure switch is in the area of the leak but it’s usually dry and not the source of the leak as indicated by the oil dye that we use when fixing leaks under warranty
    2
  6927. That’s actually a new trending issue coming up with hybrid Rav4s the first step to fix it is to bleed the brakes. This has to be done with a scan tool and if this doesn’t fix it then it’ll need parts replacement due to a very small crack causing air to come into the system.
    2
  6928. Hi! They do. Regular storage of months at a time is not good for them
    2
  6929. Hi! I wouldn’t worry about it. This is actually one of the better hybrid models
    2
  6930. It would be similar minus the driveshaft
    2
  6931. Depends what your plans with the car are. Do you want to keep it over 300k or 20 years?
    2
  6932. Not a big deal Unless you really care about handling
    2
  6933. Basically yes.

  6934. They’re both similar operation wise honestly. The RAV4 is a bit bigger and has better power and overall driving experience. I would test drive both and see what fits your needs/budget better
    2
  6935. Hi! They’re not honestly if taken care of
    2
  6936. I don’t see a big benefit of spraying silicone on rubber bushing
    2
  6937. Somewhat yea. A little bit bigger than the matrix
    2
  6938. Hi! That’s normal in these times.
    2
  6939. Hi! The fuel filter in your corolla is not a serviceable item and lasts the life of the car without service. It’s attached to the fuel pump
    2
  6940. Hi! The filter is a spin on metal filter. And they’re either AWD or FWD
    2
  6941. Hi! The multi link is used in other models and so far no issues
    2
  6942. Filming tomorrow!!
    2
  6943. Hi! So far no issues
    2
  6944. Hi! The venza has been revived but it’s hybrid only
    2
  6945. Hi. I don’t have much experience with the cross trek honestly.
    2
  6946. Hi! Just keep up the maintenance
    2
  6947. Hi! On the RAV4 it might be an issue as they’re both available like the Camry. In the future I’ll see if I can put together a video with my findings. Many asked about this
    2
  6948. Hi! Just the warning light on the dash
    2
  6949. Hi! Replace it every 60k miles. On the belt if it doesn’t have cracks or make noise don’t replace it
    2
  6950. Hi! Honestly it doesn’t make a noticeable difference that I can feel. Does have issues and can get expensive when there’s leaks
    2
  6951. Hi. It should be covered by warranty. Record the noise and show it to the dealership
    2
  6952. Hi! They are normally reliable on Toyotas but will be annoying in a hilly area honestly
    2
  6953. Hi! If you are referring to the old Venza I would avoid 4 cylinders. If you are referring to 2021 and up unless you really like the pano sunroof avoid it
    2
  6954. Theoretically but I still wouldn’t because the chassis is not then same
    2
  6955. Hi! When I get one and I’m hoping soon
    2
  6956. Happy new year my brother! Thank you for watching my channel!
    2
  6957. Really an alignment is an alignment. It depends on the technician doing the alignment
    2
  6958. Don’t worry. I own a made in the US Camry now and have owned many.
    2
  6959. Hi! Mechanically speaking yea it is
    2
  6960. Hi! Honestly it depends. If you have snow and bad weather Awd. If you don’t then fwd. and no changes for 2023
    2
  6961. I hear you. But compared to say a Camry or Avalon grille it’s subtle
    2
  6962. Hi! The 2019 has the same setup except the adventure off road and limited that has a torque vectoring system which is different
    2
  6963. Hi! I would use toyota WS fluid.
    2
  6964. If rust is not an issue all of them except the ones with the 3vz 3.0 v6
    2
  6965. Hi! Yes it does
    2
  6966. Pretty much similar and hasn’t changed much as well
    2
  6967. Honestly I would just use original from the dealership
    2
  6968. Hi! I would for sure leave it alone at this mileage as you could cause more harm than good at this point
    2
  6969. Hi! It’s rare to find a v6 tundra but the engine itself is not rare at all! It’s a good engine just a bit low on power for the size of the tundra. I would keep it if you’re happy with it and it’s running good
    2
  6970. Hi! They are similar in the way they work but not the exact same unit
    2
  6971. A few others. Like the 2005-2015 Tacoma
    2
  6972. Change the fluid every 60k or 6 years and you’re off to a good start with the 8 speed transmission
    2
  6973. EVs are relatively new on the market. Give them time and some manufacturers will find a way to make them unreliable.
    2
  6974. Hi! It has the same transmission.
    2
  6975. Honestly they are both equally reliable. If I had to choose I would go with the Camry. More room
    2
  6976. They’re good cars in my opinion
    2
  6977. Hi! I wouldn’t worry about cooling as long as you’re towing within the allowed capacity.
    2
  6978. 05-15 does
    2
  6979. Hi! In case of towing it’s required to change the fluid every 60k or 6 years. If you do very regular towing I would even replace it as soon as 30k miles
    2
  6980. Hi Oliver! Congratulations in advance! On rear mains I haven’t seen many and especially lately. Covering up the hole is not a bad idea but don’t plug it all the way completely as it needs some breathing.
    2
  6981. Hi! The fluid needs replacement but at this point if it hasn’t been replaced I would leave it alone
    2
  6982. Hi! I wouldn’t add a cooler. Just change the fluid on time and you should have no issues
    2
  6983. Hi! Similar. The GX is based off of the Toyota Prado land cruiser which is sold outside the us. Also very solid and ancient as well
    2
  6984. Hi! Either a drain and fill without filter or a flush
    2
  6985. Hi! Thank you for watching and subscribing. So I plan in the near future to make a video of the highlander. Likely after I get to the sienna hybrid
    2
  6986. Try to keep it in 4th gear. No harm in trying a cooler but just know that heavy duty towing is not a strong suite of the 4runner
    2
  6987. They’re both equally reliable honestly.
    2
  6988. The frame I took out of this series planning a Toyota truck wide frame conversation
    2
  6989. As long as you don’t do programming I don’t see an issue using it to just change options, read codes and look at live data
    2
  6990. Hi! I would check their website for supported functions on your BMw
    2
  6991. Hi! I don’t have any information on their future availability. They’re very active on social media try to contact them to see when they’ll be available
    2
  6992. Hi! You can actually start the car and connect it to the car as well.
    2
  6993. Hi! I don’t delete comments. Youtube have been lately strict on comments if they include specific links or words.
    2
  6994. Hi! I would check on the website if it’s compatible with your model
    2
  6995. Hi! I would check the compatibility on the website for the models you’re buying to know if it’s worth it or not
    2
  6996. Hi! They don’t sell it on Amazon anymore. Head over to their website to order
    2
  6997. Sorry yes I went back and looked. Just before you buy make sure it has the tpms capability on their website for your model and year
    2
  6998. I contacted the company for this issue. Waiting to hear back.
    2
  6999. I hear you. I let them know and wait to hear from them.
    2
  7000. I’ll contact the company to see if they can change that. Otherwise buy it directly from their website
    2
  7001. 😠 we get the Mazda 2 Yaris and you get the awesome GR.... J/k beautiful car you have. Wish we can get it stateside one day.
    2
  7002. On some models you can
    2
  7003. Very true!
    2
  7004. Hi! Most manufacturers have adaptive transmissions. Toyota usually takes a week or two to fully learn.
    2
  7005. Hi! It can but you also can without it. Go to the vehicle settings in your radio and go to customizations and you can turn it off there
    2
  7006. This one is not a simple sensor replacement and will need some diagnosis. The signal for the speedo comes through the ABS. Likely there’s a communication error or if everything else is good in rare cases it could be the gauge itself
    2
  7007. Hi! Which model and year Toyota do you have?
    2
  7008. I’m not really sure about the aftermarket systems. It might be possible but I haven’t seen one
    2
  7009. Unfortunately I don’t think that’s possible. It doesn’t make sense but the programming in techstream doesn’t allow it only with the key.
    2
  7010. Did you try with the key in the door? Like the mechanical key?
    2
  7011. I haven’t seen an option to program the windows to close automatically.
    2
  7012. Hi! Yes some of the models including yours will only roll down the windows
    2
  7013. Unfortunately this one doesn’t read live Data
    2
  7014. Hi! So far Carista doesn’t show live data
    2
  7015. Hi! I would head over to Carista website to verify compatibility and see which features work
    2
  7016. Hi. Does the noise happen when you press the brake pedal at slow speeds? When the car parked and running press the brake pedal hard and let it go. Do you hear the same noise?
    2
  7017. Hi! I don’t have much experience with the torque app but I am looking into it
    2
  7018. Hi! Unfortunately this scanner doesn’t show live data so it doesn’t the transmission temperature
    2
  7019. Hi Michelle. If the boot is not missing from the coils I wouldn’t replace them. Just the spark plugs and call it a day. How much are they charging for the boot replacement?
    2
  7020. Yes it is.
    2
  7021. Hi! It doesn’t void the warranty to use this one. The error codes you found were they history? If they are they could be manufacturing codes which are normal to have. Can be erased
    2
  7022. Many theories on this. Video planned and coming soon
    2
  7023. Hi! I don’t think it will.
    2
  7024. Hi! No harm in installing a pedal commander or something similar. Will do a review of the chr in the future
    2
  7025. Hi! Carista can’t view live data which you might need to access to see what’s going on with your Prius. If there are not trouble codes you will need to see what’s happening with the coolant temp reading when the light comes on
    2
  7026. If you have the tiny hair cracks you’re ok for now. If you have large cracks like the one in the video I’d replace them
    2
  7027. Hi! On the door frame at the bottom of the door there are openings which can be easily cleaned. Usually don’t clog up and drain freely. But the funnel design on your highlander is why the floors get soaked
    2
  7028. Hi! Visit the shops website at TCCNautomotive.com for details
    2
  7029. Hi! At this time I order batteries from the dealership but soon we’ll have interstate batteries which is basically the same as the dealership battery
    2
  7030. Hi! 1217
    2
  7031. Hi! Some of the early ones had an issue with the transmission. If your car drives and shifts fine you likely don’t have one with an affected transmission and you have nothing to worry about
    2
  7032. Hi! If it’s an intermittent brake pedal sink it could be air in the aBs unit which needs a scan tool to bleed
    2
  7033. If memory serves right 1217 was the number on them
    2
  7034. Hi! Sometimes yes sometimes no. Depends if it was reported or not
    2
  7035. Hi! The recommendation in the owners manual is the minimum required maintenance to keep your warranty. But majority of owners want to keep their car for 15-20 years 300k miles so change the fluid and you won’t have issues getting there
    2
  7036. Hi! It’s a bit high. Try changing the pcv valve and running an engine oil cleaner and see if it helps
    2
  7037. Hi! First thing I would check is the hood latch
    2
  7038. Finally got to put a voice to the name! Thank you for your voicemail. Next time call when we’re there we’d love to say hey 🤗
    2
  7039. Hi! Happens all the time. After more than a decade it doesn’t hurt anymore 😂
    2
  7040. Hi! My job as a professional is to advice people on what’s needed to keep them safe on the road. Can you drive a car with completely bald tires? You can. But is it a good idea? I think we can agree that it’s not.
    2
  7041. It’s still sufficient power in EV mode similar to a regular RAV4 hybrid id say. But not the whole 300+ hp
    2
  7042. Interesting. Wish that was the case in the US
    2
  7043. It’s very possible and it would then drive like a conventional RAV4 hybrid with more power. But if that’s the case I would opt out for a regular RAV4 hybrid
    2
  7044. Hi! The engine is loud because of the direct injectors and that’s normal.
    2
  7045. I hear you. I think Tesla’s concept is good and their technology is awesome. But as a car company in this auto industry there are some question marks. You did good with your camry hybrid. Tried and true and holds its value super well if you ever decide to make a change in the future you won’t loose
    2
  7046. Hi! Dealerships that sell a RAV4 prime will have technicians trained to work on them. You’ll only need this specific technician for diagnosis and heavy repair not for simple maintenance
    2
  7047. Hi! Not really just use it as needed
    2
  7048. Hi! Thank you! Honestly I don’t have experience with the diesel models as they’re not sold in my area. The RAV4 of that generation is generally good the later ones in the generation are usual best. It is very reliable and similar to your 2006 corolla if you take care of it
    2
  7049. I haven’t seen a setting to limit the charging other than charge mode which does charge to 80%
    2
  7050. Hi! I would deplete it fully before charging
    2
  7051. Possibly at some point. That will all depend on the new tundra hybrid success or failure.
    2
  7052. Hi! A memory saving device is ideal but not absolutely required the idle might be a bit erratic after replacement but will clear on its own after up to a week of driving
    2
  7053. Thank you! Trying to find time to make some new designs! I’m hoping in the next couple of weeks!
    2
  7054. Hi! I haven’t seen or heard any issues on that. However one thing that causes this is uneven tire pressure or even very high tire pressure
    2
  7055. Hi! Up to 84mph is what’s listed but it’s not recommended because as you mentioned it becomes counter productive
    2
  7056. Hi! You don’t have to plug it in but it’s recommended for best efficiency. Alternatively you could use charge mode to charge the battery up to 80% allowed charge
    2
  7057. Hi! In that case it will continuously charge until you unplug it because it hasn’t reached fully charged
    2
  7058. Ok so the AM1 fuse controls many aspects of the starting signal. I would look at the 12v battery and have it tested. It could be something else but I’ve seen a few cases where a severe voltage drop can cause the fuse to blow. Doesn’t make sense or is simple to explain but it has to do with some called back feeding.
    2
  7059. Hi! Your best option is to utilize the charging schedule. using the charge soon after it’s fully charged Is best for the battery longevity
    2
  7060. Hi! You can but I would just charge it. It will precondition the battery first then charge
    2
  7061. Hi! Yes that’s normal. There are times where the fan shuts off when cooling is not needed. The fan speed is variable so it will vary
    2
  7062. Thank you! I wanted to bridge the gap between dealership technicians and owners/diy mechanics. The ultimate goal was provide advice direct from real world experience.
    2
  7063. Thank you!
    2
  7064. Hi! You’d have to buy aftermarket for the 220 as the included cable is rated for 110 bolts
    2
  7065. I saw that. Essentially the same drivetrain as the RAV4 prime but the range is less which doesn’t make sense to me as it should be the same unless they changed something in the inverter.
    2
  7066. Hi! So only the RAV4 prime has the battery outside. The current NX and venza and even the RAV4 hybrid has it inside the cabin
    2
  7067. Thank you!
    2
  7068. Hi Doug! If you’re not going to use the EV range I’d get a regular hybrid honestly. I would utilize the charge range but try to set a schedule for charging so you minimize as much as possible the standby time with a full charge which has the largest impact on the battery’s life
    2
  7069. It’s coming! The BZ4X
    2
  7070. Nothing yet. I’ll likely make a video when there’s anything official from Toyota. Many have requested it
    2
  7071. Hi! How many miles you get for brakes depends on your driving. If you have pulsation and pads at 4mm you have time once they get to 3mm get them replaced. The price is right for dealerships outside is cheaper of course. Adjust the rear brakes as well that will help prolong the life of the front brakea
    2
  7072. I’d say improve the transmission shifting. That’s the number one complaint
    2
  7073. Hi! They do need adjustment after some time. But they don’t completely stop working
    2
  7074. Hi Tom. Hard to tell if it’s normal or not without driving it. One thing is to check the tire pressure if it’s set at the correct pressure first. It could be that the vacuum is building up still
    2
  7075. Hi! If I get one in the garage I’ll film it. I have a general brakes video but not a truck brakes video
    2
  7076. Yes for the midwest
    2
  7077. Could be. Try this. Increase your overall tire pressure slightly and see if it continues to happen
    2
  7078. Hi! Is it under heavy braking?
    2
  7079. Hi! 4runners have less plastic in their engine. Older more basic technology
    2
  7080. Very close yes
    2
  7081. Hi! On the 4th gen it’s not as common yet. 3rd gen it’s somewhat common. Nothing really to do to prevent them as it’s a high heat area
    2
  7082. Hi! Yes it can I’ve actually tested it on Mercedes’ and it works very well
    2
  7083. Hi! Possibly brake related. It’s definitely rotational. I would have the dealership check it but record your own video so they can hear it
    2
  7084. I hear you. Have a wonderful day.
    2
  7085. Hi! Honestly it would be a major hassle and wouldn’t be a good turn out in the end. I would buy it locally
    2
  7086. Hi! Unfortunately that code expired. I’ll reach out to the company and see if they give me another one however I doubt they will as I’ve tried in the past with another product
    2
  7087. I haven’t been able to test an autel yet. Recently established contact with them for a review scan tool. Will review it and compare it when I get one
    2
  7088. Hi! It’s not possible to do that as both cars have a separate car ID which is programmed in each key
    2
  7089. Hi my brother. On most models yes. Few models it can’t but the company seems open to report those models so they can include them
    2
  7090. I’ll check it
    2
  7091. Hi! Likely not
    2
  7092. Eventually they will update coverage for 2022. When I first tested the D7 it didn't have support for 2021 and then by the time I filmed the video it did have 2021 coverage. That's how scan tools work they get updated as new models come out.
    2
  7093. Hi! You can use the scan tool but after the initial 3 years updates will require payment. D7 is $99 per year D8 is $199 per year. Read the description of the video for discounts. For the advanced diy. There was a giveaway and that was the word of entry to win a new scan tool. That has ended now
    2
  7094. Hi! Do you mean the chime for the belt or the key?
    2
  7095. On toyota you can adjust the speedo manually up to 4 mph either way and the D8 should be able to do it as it’s a customization feature
    2
  7096. Hi! Honestly not worth it just for that. Stop by a dealership and have them do it. They’ll either do it for free or for a very small fee
    2
  7097. Hi! Looks like $199 for the D8 per year and $99 for the D7
    2
  7098. Hi! I wouldn't trust the small bluetooth one to program keys honestly.
    2
  7099. Hi! Honestly I would leave it alone at this poijt
    2
  7100. Hi Sam! You shouldn’t be. Just double check your vacuum lines for the purge valve to make sure they connected and nothing got torn.
    2
  7101. You can pull one of the plugs and see
    2
  7102. Hi! That depends on the mechanic. Some do some don’t
    2
  7103. Yes you can.
    2
  7104. Hi! If it’s within a year you should be good reusing otherwise I would replace them
    2
  7105. Don’t worry about it :-) tape the end off so it’s not touching the ground and call it a day.
    2
  7106. Unfortunately you might not be able to. Be careful as you might damage the glass
    2
  7107. Not yet but will do in the future
    2
  7108.  @matthewcacace6804  there is a cap there. Part number 90339-03002 it’s just over $6 should be somewhat available to order.
    2
  7109. Hi! Throttle body gasket and the other one is often called air surge tank gasket
    2
  7110. Thank you for watching my channel! If I can find a candidate sienna to film with I wouldn’t mind filming a DIY video.
    2
  7111. Hi! I wouldn’t change the ignition coils unless they give you issues. Don’t be intimidated by this. It looks harder than it is.
    2
  7112. Hi! I wouldn’t unless you have an issue with them
    2
  7113. Hi! Keep up the maintenance! This is a very nice car you bought. They don’t have many issues but regularly check it as a general inspection like fluids brakes tires leaks... etc
    2
  7114. Hi! There’s 2 oil control valves and 2 cam sensors
    2
  7115. Hi! For toyota it’s not needed
    2
  7116. They’re not that bad
    2
  7117. Hi! I wouldn’t go back to redo the torque and the gaskets. If you have issues with leaks from the intake or the throttle body then replace them. Was the gasket for the intake orange or black? Also for the torque spec you’re good. That’s close and most of the torque wrenches are actually not 100% accurate so you’re close.
    2
  7118. Hi! Slightly different and I do plan to make a similar video specific to the 2GR-FKs
    2
  7119. Hi! Unfortunately that one is it not simple to remove. The tube is pressed in and usually they get damaged when you remove them. You’ll want to use RTV sealer to seal them
    2
  7120. Hi! It’s a bit different for that engine
    2
  7121. It’s the vacuum hose for the brake booster
    2
  7122. Hi! Head over to parts.Toyota.com and input your vin number to verify
    2
  7123. Hi! Yes that means it’s an original plug
    2
  7124. Hi! Techinfo.Toyota.com the official repair manual
    2
  7125. Hi! They are similar just the plenum is actually easier to remove
    2
  7126. I usually remove the cowl to make life easier as I have big hands. Try to reach in the back and get to the brackets if you can remove the 12 mm bolts then don’t remove the cowl
    2
  7127. Hi! If you can get to the brackets in the back of the plenum without removing the cowl go for it.
    2
  7128. I don’t think it’s an issue
    2
  7129. Hi! Don’t adjust the gap on iridium plugs as they get damaged
    2
  7130. Hi Ethan! If you are paying to get this done it’s not a bad idea to replace the back ones while you’re in there
    2
  7131. @W. Horoch Thank you for your comment. So I did this video for the community but in reality this is a 15-20 minute job with removing the cowl and the plenum for me. You want to do short cuts that will tear up your hands to save 5 minutes, power to you but removing the cowl and the plenum is not hard at all. If this video is too much work then perhaps this is not the job for the viewer. And the water pump job is another half an hour job. And removing the engine out of the car is an hour an a half. This job is not hard and no one from Toyota should be fired. Try doing cam towers on a 5.7 V8 then you’ll see that this one is easy. Have a nice day
    2
  7132. Hi! You can drive the car for now and could you be more specific on the volt that broke?
    2
  7133. Hi! The v8 tundra spark plugs are very simple and don’t require removing anything other than the coils. I’d say they are easier than the v6 for sure
    2
  7134. Hi! The spark plug tube is leaking. Very involved to fix it and likely won’t leak as much as you think. Drive it for a week and see if you have oil again
    2
  7135. You can safely go to the 120k on engines calling for 120k and iridium plugs. Note that the 2GR-FKS with D4S is iridium but 60k mile recommended interval
    2
  7136. Hi! Here’s a video where the car had an original spark plug so you can see the marks https://youtu.be/IAb9b3Hrea0
    2
  7137. Check the connection on the back bank oil control valve. You can easily get to them without removing anything. Just make sure they’re connected all the way
    2
  7138. Hi! You’ll need to check for codes. Also did you leave anything unplugged?
    2
  7139. Hi! It’s not if you’re doing it yourself. If the car has a lot of miles and you’re paying someone then perhaps consider it
    2
  7140. Hi! Unplug it from the connector and plug the one that comes out of the glass. On your model it’s not an antenna it’s a a wiper heater. I should’ve been more clear on that in the video.
    2
  7141. Personally I wouldn’t if you’re doing the work yourself. If a coil ever goes bad then replace it as you’re not paying for labor
    2
  7142. Parts.Toyota.com
    2
  7143. You’ll need to use a needle nose to try to get them out.
    2
  7144. Hi! On the plugs you can’t gap iridium plugs as the tip gets damaged. Buy oem plugs and install them without checking the gap. And for the coils I wouldn’t replace them if they’re not bad. They can go bad but if it ain’t broke don’t fix it I’d say
    2
  7145. Hi! Yes I would still remove the cowl however you could do it without removing it
    2
  7146. It’s actually easier on the 2GR-FKS as there’s more space
    2
  7147. 😂 thanks my brother
    2
  7148. Hi Jeffery. So catch cans work but most of the newer engines have an oil separator which is basically a built in catch can so I think doubling up is a bit overkill but it won’t hurt anything to add one
    2
  7149. Hi! Is the check engine light on as well?
    2
  7150. Hi! Yes absolutely! I was supposed to film it today but it got delayed. You should see it in the next couple of weeks
    2
  7151. Hi! Check the connection of the vacuum line to the brake booster
    2
  7152. Hi! It would be a good idea to do that since it’s a reoccurring storage.
    2
  7153. Hi! That sounds like a good price for original parts honestly. You can of course save a lot by doing it yourself. But if that’s not possible then that price is good.
    2
  7154. Hi! I have a few recommendations on my Amazon affiliate store at http://www.Amazon.com/shop/thecarcarenut otherwise I recommend gearwrench as they’re good
    2
  7155. Once you clean the throttle body the idle will be a bit elevated but after a couple of days or normal driving it will settle on its own
    2
  7156. Hi! No just clean it with a shop towel and no calibration is needed
    2
  7157. Yes painters tape works as well
    2
  7158. Did it break flush with the manifold or you have a bit sticking out? If it’s sticking out drive the car until it’s warmed up then remove the plenum and try to use vice grips to take the stud out. If it’s flush then you’ll need to drill and rethread it. Replace the stud with a bolt or buy a new stud from the dealership.
    2
  7159. Hi! They are a bit different mainly on the bolts that hold the plenum
    2
  7160. Hi! Best way is to show you. See this video and fast forward to when I pulled the spark plugs https://youtu.be/IAb9b3Hrea0
    2
  7161. It’s not in the repair manual and it can alter your torque. And they usually end up causing the plugs to seize
    2
  7162. Hi! Toyota switched all their intake plenum gaskets to orange after a design change.
    2
  7163. Hi! In some models it won’t fit. But it would work better in models that do fit. Like your Avalon when you remove the cowl it should fit
    2
  7164. 😂 on the wiper plug. Been there, done that 🤦‍♂️
    2
  7165. Hi! The battery doesn’t need disconnecting as long as the key is off. The spark plugs that are iridium Cant be gapped as that damages the tip. Original plugs are pre gapped
    2
  7166. Hi! The dealership will have it. Usually they have them in stock. You’ll find it in the same parts catalog area where the other 2 are
    2
  7167. It’s not in the service manual and typically from experience the anti seize will actually cause them to seize. If they’re torqued up to spec and changed on time I haven’t seen a single Toyota spark plug seize in the cylinder head
    2
  7168. Hi! If you’re doing this yourself then I wouldn’t replace them. If paying someone perhaps if the car has miles and age then maybe
    2
  7169. Just make sure you took the correct bolts for the brackets and it should come off. 2 10mm nuts for the plenum and 4 5mm hex bolts and then the bolts for the brackets which are 12mm
    2
  7170. There are 4 bolts and 2 nuts on front of the plenum. And the 2 bolts in the back for the brackets did you get them all out?
    2
  7171. That’s is THE channel to watch if you’re gonna do your own lawn care! So I am no expert on lawns or lawn mowers by any stretch but I’ve had very good luck with Toro was recommended by Allyn from the lawn care nut and I went with it and 5 years later I still like it
    2
  7172. The lawn car nut channel is an awesome channel and is someone I know and have been following for years! Highly recommended channel lawn care!
    2
  7173. It is slightly just because of worries of them seizing up but I haven’t seen one seize up yet after 10 years
    2
  7174. Hi! Drain plug is 30 ft lbs the trans drain bolt is 35 ft lbs
    2
  7175. You either left something unplugged or the plug you installed has something going on. Bank 2 is the front bank. Double check that you’ve plugged everything back.
    2
  7176. Hi! Increase risk of them seizing up.
    2
  7177. Hi! Follow your manual as there are a few models that do call for 60k
    2
  7178. Hi! The 4 runner is very easy to replace the spark plugs on actually. A video would be good, I’ll see when I can get one to film wirh
    2
  7179. Hi Erik! If you are doing the work yourself I wouldn’t change them unless they’re leaking. If you’re paying a shop I would replace them and save on labor
    2
  7180. Hi Jerry! Exactly the same on your sienna. Hey a swivel socket to get to the back bracket. Once you remove the cowl things are easier.
    2
  7181. Hi! If you’re doing this diy no. If paying someone perhaps consider it
    2
  7182. Hi! No they’re underneath the intake manifold
    2
  7183. Hi! So I personally wouldn’t encourage shortcuts involving leaving the cowl on. Can it be done? Sure but the real question is, is it worth it? In my opinion no. Spend an extra 2 minutes to pull the cowl and work freely without the thing being in your way. I would replace the gaskets on an older engine as they tend to compress and they can cause serious vacuum leaks.
    2
  7184. Sorry missed that. A bit different on the 3.3L as the brackets are in a different spot. A bit harder than this one to get the 14 mm bolt out of the plenum on the passenger side but otherwise it’s similar
    2
  7185. Hi! It’s exactly the same on the RX350 if it has the same engine not the updated one with plastic valve covers
    2
  7186. Hi! The 2020 highlander has the 2GR-FKS slightly different. Planning to have a different video for that one
    2
  7187. On some models you can but it makes it harder might as well just remove the plenum
    2
  7188. Most models are 120k some are 60k
    2
  7189. Hi! Honestly I would remove the cover on the timing belt at the top without removing everything and check it. If it doesn’t have cracks and looks otherwise good you have time. Spark plugs likely are good but the worry is that they get seized after being there so much time. So you’re also good but as your budget allows plan to get them done
    2
  7190. Honestly it’s not as simple. You’ll need to pull the valve cover and pull the tubes out and reseal them. Many will tell you to replace the seals on the valve cover gasket which doesn’t really fix the issue
    2
  7191. Hi! The spark plug tubes are likely leaking.
    2
  7192. Hi! Yes use silicone sealer on top of the connector to hold it in place
    2
  7193. Good question. So the noise it would make is a weird metallic popping noise. The lower part of the cowl also acts as a strut tower brace and when the wheels are off the ground the towers get slightly moved and when you tighten it when it’s up then lower it, it tends to bow the cowl and make that popping noise.
    2
  7194. Hi! After the spark plug replacement no resets are needed
    2
  7195. Hi! At this mileage I would leave it alone
    2
  7196. Hi! The only difference in the hybrid models it the egr valve, cooler and pipe is on top of the rear valve cover. Kinda of a nightmare to remove but I plan to do a separate video on that when I get one
    2
  7197. Some of the these rear AF sensors are a pain I hear you
    2
  7198. Hi! I personally wouldn’t as the sensor could last years and not need replacement
    2
  7199. Hi! Reinstall the bracket. It’s there for a reason. It supports the plenum
    2
  7200. Hi! If you’re paying someone to replace them at least replace the rear ones not the front ones. And I’ll look into socket recommendations
    2
  7201. Hi! Not yet but will do when I get one in the shop
    2
  7202. Hi! Likely a tube that’s leaking. These are pressed in and very tough to remove and reseal.
    2
  7203. Hi! On the 2GR around 2-2.5 shop time. On the 1MZ about the same
    2
  7204. You’ll want to get trouble codes. Oil leaks onto the spark plug hole is usually the tube itself on this engine
    2
  7205. Hi Matt. We don’t have that model in my area. Which engine name does it have?
    2
  7206. I have my reservations on electric cars. I don’t think the world is ready infrastructure wise for full electrification.
    2
  7207. Hi! 5w30 should work
    2
  7208. Hi! I will once I get one
    2
  7209. Personally W221 because of the opulence and the savage acceleration. But the materials in the Lexus are much higher quality than the w221 and of course the cost of ownership is way better on the Lexus
    2
  7210. Hi! It is simpler and more straight forward but also gets less gas mileage.
    2
  7211. Likely marketing.
    2
  7212. Hi! While we don’t have dealer installed parking sensors that are official, but the original ones you cannot adjust the sensitivity. But if the calibration is off they’ll read wrong I would if the dealership can check the calibration?
    2
  7213. Hi! The LX is the same as the land cruiser. They’re very good.
    2
  7214. Thanks I’ll look into it
    2
  7215. Hi! Yes you can and it’s similar oil
    2
  7216. Hi! I wouldn’t over do it either. A single replacement every 60k miles keeps things fresh
    2
  7217. Thank you!
    2
  7218. Hi! 120k
    2
  7219. Thank you for watching my video James! It’s the best thing and something I love when customers ask for their old parts back. I think every customer should see their old parts to get an idea.
    2
  7220. Interesting. Did you look in the cylinder?
    2
  7221. Hi! Did you have oil on the socket as well?
    2
  7222. Hi! No need to remove the terminal if your car is turned off and key is out of the key to prevent accidental start up
    2
  7223. Hi! See in the settings through the car radio. If not the dealership can turn them off with the scan tool.
    2
  7224. Hi! The 2008 highlander will need spark plug replacement every 120k miles.
    2
  7225. 6 cylinders are not bad just more plugs more things to take out
    2
  7226. Hi! 120k or 10 years is good
    2
  7227. Hi! Adjusting the gap on iridium plugs is not advised as it could damage the iridium tip.
    2
  7228. Thank you brother! I’m still waiting for the next video from your channel!
    2
  7229. Hi! Thank you and my apologies for the kms miles situation. This has come up and going forward I will write it down. I’m working on getting the v6 spark plug video which should come soon.
    2
  7230. Hi Labeeb! This has come up but the recommendation is to follow the mileage interval regardless on the prime cars
    2
  7231. Hi! If there’s no issue like rips or breaks in the original boot I wouldn’t replace it
    2
  7232. That works!
    2
  7233. It’s already there for the sealed transmission. Change it every 60k or 6 years https://youtu.be/eRxSu4-4ojo
    2
  7234. Hi! Just regular maintenance really. That is a solid powertrain that when maintained should last a long time. If you want to be on the safe side keep your oil changes around 5k miles or 6 months
    2
  7235. Hi! I’ve never seen a Toyota original ignition coil boot that had issues. I wouldn’t replace them unless they’re clearly damaged
    2
  7236. No need to disconnect the battery. Just make sure the key is off so you won’t set codes when you unplug the coils.
    2
  7237. Hi! If I were you and doing this yourself I would replace the valve cover gaskets as well. This is not difficult to do if you have experience. The bolts that hold the plenum in the back will be the toughest thing otherwise it’s very simple to do. If you decide to do the valve covers make sure the rear bank gasket doesn’t roll on you. Make sure it stays put
    2
  7238. Hi! If doing it yourself not a big expense and no harm in replacing them early but you could actually wait the 120k
    2
  7239. Hi! 5/8 and 18 ft lbs
    2
  7240. I usually use oem parts and don’t have much experience with specific aftermarket brands
    2
  7241. Hi! Removing plugs on a warm engine will help them come out much easier. I don’t use anti seize and the repair manual and the factory doesn’t use anti seize. And the original plugs on Toyota’s come out very easily if they’re original.
    2
  7242. After the connector is connected put a dab and smear it where the clip used to be. That’ll be enough to lock it from coming out
    2
  7243. Hi! Typically the pcv is recommend at the same time as the spark plugs. If any sealer is needed it is usually already applied to the threads of the original pcv valve on Toyotas
    2
  7244. The 2019 RAV4 hybrid has the A25A engine which has 4 spark plugs
    2
  7245. I wouldn’t use it. You can use but in very very small amounts as you could end up causing issues not making things good.
    2
  7246. It wouldn’t hurt to change them. Or you can wait until 120k
    2
  7247. Hi! Yes if they have the marks that means they’re factory original
    2
  7248. It’s possible but I would return that iridium plug and get another one.
    2
  7249. Replacing the valve cover gaskets on that engine with the plugs is a good idea saves you on labor.
    2
  7250. Hi! The other 3 plugs are on the other side of the engine covered by the intake plenum. If you’re not mechanically inclined and have done similar work I’d have a mechanic replace them and be done with it. It’s not a hard job but definitely more involved than the 4 cylinders
    2
  7251. I would just remove them, inspect them and either replace them or clean them up and reinstall. In my opinion the 10 year mark is there just so the plugs won’t seize up. Thank you for watching my channel Jack
    2
  7252. Hi! I would change them at 120k miles or 10 years whichever comes first
    2
  7253. On the spark plug tip or the whole porcelain?
    2
  7254. Hi! Same as this video
    2
  7255. I don’t mind at all! Best of luck with your project
    2
  7256. Hi! Did you clean the throttle body or just replace the spark plugs
    2
  7257. 13 is correct
    2
  7258. Honestly this one is hard. The IS will drive better but the Camry will likely be more functional day to day
    2
  7259. Yes you can disconnect it while the engine is running. Only the connector though not the big wire held in with a bit
    2
  7260. Hi! I would start with a belt or look into a weak belt tensioner
    2
  7261. Hi my brother! It does have some true to it on the powertrain warranty side. The certified has 7 years the new is 5
    2
  7262. Hi! There’s no fuse or relay. Do the other functions of the steering wheel work?
    2
  7263. Hi! Techinfo.Toyota.com it’s an online manual
    2
  7264. Hi! It should have 3 idlers and one pulley for the tensioner. They’re all 14mm
    2
  7265. Hi! It is 10k miles IF your driving doesn’t fall under the special operating conditions which are also listed in your maintenance guide.
    2
  7266. Haha that’s a good one! 😂
    2
  7267. Hi! We’re in the Chicago area
    2
  7268. Hi! It is interference
    2
  7269. Synthetic is required for your sienna
    2
  7270. Hi! Every 6 months
    2
  7271. Hi! There is a difference. Use the oil recommended in your owners manual
    2
  7272. Hi Labeeb. So the idler is the pulley that’s just used to route the belt. It is not connected to anything else just spins with the belt.
    2
  7273. Hi! This is heavily debated and the truth is when you’ve done the same job hundreds of times and never had an issue. You tend to continue the pattern. Specific things must be torqued like engine internal parts or when you’re doing a job for the first time.
    2
  7274. Hi! I would look them up on parts.Toyota.com using the vin number I don’t have the numbers handy at the moment
    2
  7275. Hi! Noises need in person diagnosis.
    2
  7276. Hi! Does it do it when the car is stopped or driving? Any chance you can record the sound
    2
  7277. Hi! You can drive it for a good while as long as you keep the oil topped off. Eventually the catalytic converter might go
    2
  7278. Hi! Use a filter tool meant for the canister style. They fit and work well.
    2
  7279. Hi! That noise is the transmission setting a lower ratio to help slowdown the car. On the tires you can put 15 inch wheels but all 4 wheels don’t put different sizes
    2
  7280. I wouldn’t worry about it too much. Don’t replace the pump just for that. Almost all of them do this when it’s really cold
    2
  7281. Hi! That noise is very normal for the 2GR especially when it’s cold. There are many theories what is the source but they all do that. Don’t worry about it.
    2
  7282. Hi! I’ve shown it briefly in this video https://youtu.be/84I2Cq3ziR4
    2
  7283. Hi! I am working on a video that’ll give you exact details on what’s different
    2
  7284. Hi! Wouldn’t hurt to grease them every oil change or every other oil change
    2
  7285. Hi! Don’t know how the market is for Russia but don’t buy quick struts. Just replace what’s broke
    2
  7286. Hi! Not on your Prius. Only AWD models which yours isn’t
    2
  7287. Hybrids don’t need that.
    2
  7288. Hi! Yes
    2
  7289. Hi! Your Camry doesn’t have a separate differential. When you replace the transmission fluid you also replace the diff fluid
    2
  7290. Hi! Thank you for watching my channel! I am planning to do a brake fluid video soon!
    2
  7291. Hi! Yes I wouldn’t replace the fluid filter on Toyota transmissions. No harm in replacing them but no benefit either
    2
  7292. If you are in a state that allows it, you can have autozone or advanced check codes. Otherwise just purchase a small inexpensive obd2 reader as it’s a very handy tool to have
    2
  7293. Cold preferred
    2
  7294. Hi! I wouldn’t mind. Just need to get a car to do this job on
    2
  7295. Hi! Around 4-5 on trans and almost 4 on the diff
    2
  7296. This video is for hybrids only. Non hybrids I have another video for that
    2
  7297. That is correct
    2
  7298. Hi! A paper filter is not available for that generation
    2
  7299. Hi! I’ll need to hear it but suction can be normal
    2
  7300. Hi Marjan! More than likely cost has a big part in why the cover is missing. It does help with the noise levels but otherwise doesn’t do much
    2
  7301. Hi! Yes this has been the case and we found this out early enough. 4.5 puts it right on the dot
    2
  7302. Hi! It is very similar to the corolla which I did a video on. Here’s the link https://youtu.be/U7mjpvRihVU
    2
  7303. Camry hybrid doesn’t have exhaust heat system. And it’s very similar just everything is slightly bigger on the hybrid system side
    2
  7304. Hi! That’s normal. I don’t actually advice you to drive right away in Cold weather. Give it a few minutes before you take off
    2
  7305. Hi! The AWD Camry is good. I like the current Camry a lot, this might be a bit bias as I own one. If you are looking for a sedan it’s a very good one. Another option is rav4 if you need an suv that’s also Awd
    2
  7306. Hi! The 2022 model has been with the same engine since 2016 and so far no oil burning issues with good maintenance
    2
  7307. Hi! I don’t
    2
  7308. On some models you can get one boot only or both. Highly recommended you always replace both every time
    2
  7309. They usually last a long time. Usually they leak from the boot just getting old or get hit by rocks or objects on the road
    2
  7310. I think around 2 hours is fair for the owner and the technician.
    2
  7311. Hi Jack, Part numbers will vary greatly between models. You'll want to look up your individual model on the boots.
    2
  7312. Coming in the near future
    2
  7313. Hi! Not as essential as before but still recommended especially after hard driving or fast driving
    2
  7314. Agreed. While the MKv Supra is a nice car but it’s missing the Toyota heritage. Basically the RC chassis with a V6 twin turbo like the tundra or the LS500 would’ve done the trick.
    2
  7315. Hi! The IS doesn’t have something directly related on the toyota side
    2
  7316. Hi! Yes that’s not good for the transmission! Use the brakes to hold the car.
    2
  7317. Hi! It will strain the hybrid system and really loose the efficiency in that kind of driving
    2
  7318. They have significantly improved their designs lately in my opinion. They can’t go too wild because these are daily driven cars and the crazier the design the faster it becomes obsolete
    2
  7319. Hi! Yes email me at thecarcarenut@gmail.com with the subject Chicago service request
    2
  7320. Hi! Yes it can.
    2
  7321. Use the truck adapters for higher cars
    2
  7322. It does have a lock in 2 positions. but if the pump fails It would be a problem if it's stuck on the locks as you'd need to lift the car with a jack and get them out from underneath it.
    2
  7323. Door vacuumed and the frame part im still exploring options for it to fix it right before we give it a shot
    2
  7324. It was replaced when we did the interior. That speaker is a few months old.
    2
  7325. Hi! It didn’t have any thread on it at all.
    2
  7326. That is normal. After it charges it will stop nothing to worry about it
    2
  7327. I’m not sure of an exact reason but if I were to guess I’d say production costs and market demands.
    2
  7328. Hi! Thank you for watching my channel. In most cases with the newer cars it overrides the gas pedal. So it would be similar to when you are only pressing the brake pedal. But if it’s not then you’ll put a large load on the drivetrain and it’s not recommended.
    2
  7329. Yes that is correct. The information in my videos applies to Toyota an lexus hybrid models
    2
  7330. Hi! Thank you for watching my video. Only thing that comes to mind which is somewhat common is possible air intrusion in the brake hydraulic circuit. They tend to make a weird squeak that sometimes you can feel in the pedal. Try this. With the car ready on and in park. Press the brake pedal hard then pump the pedal. Does it eventually make the same sound?
    2
  7331. It could be. Do you hear a buzzing sound when you open the drivers door?
    2
  7332. Very nice first car! Thank you for sharing!
    2
  7333. No huge concern. Half hybrids out there do this and people don’t notice. Mention it on your next service appointment
    2
  7334. That is actually an emerging new issue. That’s air in the brake hydraulic system. Take it to the dealership and they’ll bleed it to start and go from there.
    2
  7335. Hi! Brake hold uses the brakes of the car in the same fashion you would pressing the brake with your foot. No harm of using it always.
    2
  7336. Hi! There’s no direct indicator to know. If the battery is fully charged on the indicator charging stops and the hydraulic brakes are used to stop the car. But you’ll feel the transition between regen and hydraulic brakes when that does happen
    2
  7337. Brakes will rust eventually over time but frequent normal use should keep it at a minimum
    2
  7338. The brake fluid should be tested for moisture content to determine if replacement is needed. On average every 3 years or so.
    2
  7339. Don’t be alarmed by that. Test it for moisture content. If it’s there replace it.
    2
  7340. If they used the same design hybrid then yes.
    2
  7341. If you are just replacing the fluid you don’t need a scan tool. If you bleeding after parts replacement then yes you need a scan tool
    2
  7342. Hi! Sometimes air enters the system and makes the pump make a louder than usual noise. the first thing I would try to do in this case is bleed the brakes and see if it improves. If not and the dealership recommends an expensive ABS actuator I would not replace it at this point. If the brakes works well it might take a long time for it to completely fail.
    2
  7343. Thank you for watching my videos and subscribing. It wouldn’t hurt to take it to the dealership for a quick check. However It is somewhat normal for hybrid brakes to grab as the car is coming to a stop because of the switch from Regen braking to full hydraulic. I would say hybrid brakes take a bit of time to get used to them especially when coming to a stop because of the switch. Not every model but the corolla I noticed is one of the sensitive ones.
    2
  7344. The brake light is operated by the brake light switch. The brake lights will come on regardless of which mode of braking used. Any pressure to move the pedal will turn on the brake lights
    2
  7345. That is normal. It’s called pad shift when you change direction. Adding some grease might help but not 100%
    2
  7346. Hi! Honestly the brake fluid should be replaced when the moisture content is high usually around 2-3 years
    2
  7347. The drag that it would cause to charge likely will cause greater energy consumption than what it’s generating. Or at least that’s what I would think
    2
  7348. Hi Marty. I would have to hear the sound in person to be 100% but they do tend to make an odd sound when there’s air in the system when you press the brake pedal. It sounds more like a odd squeak sound.
    2
  7349. Hi! I would just brake normally unless you feel like the brakes are getting too hot
    2
  7350. Hi! The brake replacement is normal as long as you don’t open the hydraulic circuit
    2
  7351. The video on b mode is coming up tomorrow
    2
  7352. Hi! Personally I would change it every 5k miles or 6 months
    2
  7353. The 2008 Camry didn’t come with one from the factory. The vent is located behind the backseat head rests.However you can install one very easily the part no is G92DH-33010. Your 2019 rav4 hybrid also have one underneath the back seat. The door setup is similar to that of the 2020 corolla in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7mjpvRihVU
    2
  7354. Hi! The brake fluid needs to be checked for moisture content but on average every 3 years
    2
  7355. Hi! That’s normal on hybrids. When the car is stopped the system doesn’t do anything because it is essentially brake by wire.
    2
  7356. Thank you for watching. Use the minus paddle will essentially increase regenerative braking in EV mode
    2
  7357. If you want to use 100% hydraulic brakes put the car in neutral while it’s driving and press the brakes
    2
  7358. Hi! I currently work at a Toyota dealership as a master diagnostic technician.
    2
  7359. Hi! Regenerative braking doesn’t use any of the brakes. They use the electric motors inside the transmission. When you replace the brake fluid you don’t replace the fluid in the accumulator unless you use a scan tool. The front brakes do most of the braking and the rears do some just like a conventional car
    2
  7360. Thank you! I don’t have a video for the brake fluid yet but one will come in the future
    2
  7361. Hi! When you’re in park press the gas pedal down and it should come on after you pass half throttle
    2
  7362. No information on that yet but it should be
    2
  7363. The 1.8 has port injection only
    2
  7364. Hi! It’s not a simple swap as the computer is different
    2
  7365. Hi Marjan! It is similar yea
    2
  7366. Unfortunately no updates are available.
    2
  7367. It happens. Until the dealership mechanic or advisor drives a car for a long time and this happens to them they won’t imagine it.
    2
  7368. Hi! On the corolla you can turn it off very easily without stopping. Once you turn it off it stays off until you turn it on again
    2
  7369. Yes you can.
    2
  7370. Hi! It knows your going up or down a hill and goes in a lower or higher ratio to help
    2
  7371. Thank you for watching!
    2
  7372. Hi! Parts delays and complications of the job can’t be taken on the customer. It’s not right. One Job goes smoothly one don’t. We didn’t charge them more labor time
    2
  7373. Hi Jonas, I’m looking into one of these for the shop. Deciding which one as there are plenty of options
    2
  7374. Hi! Thank you for watching my channel! So honestly there’s no accurate way to check the overall health of the battery on hybrids. At this age it is not a concern I would worry about. Cold weather does affect the battery a bit but not like extreme heat. Driving the car regularly and avoiding outside storage for more than a month is a good idea in your climate.
    2
  7375. The engine in your highlander is loud I agree with you. However that noise level is normal and not a problem.
    2
  7376. Hi! I wouldn’t drain it if it has coolant in there. If it has only water without antifreeze then yes I would.
    2
  7377. Lol and even with a dozen there’s still gonna be a day where you can’t find one
    2
  7378. Hi! No other filters for the rx450h
    2
  7379. Hi! If it was driven often but short distances it should be ok. But if It was regularly stored for over 3 months then the battery might be affected
    2
  7380. Hi! It does. Watch this video https://youtu.be/WNo-VXJSg7s
    2
  7381. They are both similar hybrid wise. Really whichever one suits your needs is good
    2
  7382. I would buy the 2017 honestly. It’s a much better hybrid and the mileage is not an issue if it has good service history.
    2
  7383. Coming soon in a series about how primes work.
    2
  7384. Hi! This is one that could be caused by a few things. If lubricating a certain point makes it go away temporarily then that could be the issue. Usually noises are from the clutch fork contact point and I would use some silicone high temp grease to see if that holds.
    2
  7385. Perhaps something is up with the tire that was flat. You’d be surprised the effect a bad tire on the way the car drives.
    2
  7386. Hi! It’s possible they’d need to reset the seat memory and recalibrate the same motors. Happens with new cars where the calibration didn’t set from the factory. Not a big issue and shouldn’t take long to resolve.
    2
  7387. Hi! Check the hybrid battery fan filters and clean them if needed and you’re good to go
    2
  7388. Hi! You can but make sure it’s fully dry before you reinstall
    2
  7389. Hi! The 2020 and up highlander hybrid is different. Will get a video for it eventually. There’s no real way to know an accurate health of the hv battery.
    2
  7390. That’s actually a planned video with a real hybrid transmission sitting in my garage. I just gotta get one more thing settled before I record that video.
    2
  7391. Yes that’s ok
    2
  7392. Hi! Most aspects of a hybrid car is the same as a regular non hybrid car. Except when it comes to the hybrid system itself. Brake bleeding is different but brake replacements are the same as conventional non hybrids. Hybrids are generally reliable and for normal maintenance and light repairs I would have your trusted mechanic take care of it.
    2
  7393. Hi! It’s not recommended to open the battery for cleaning as long as the fan is clean everything else is good
    2
  7394. Hi! The xtool a30 is on the lower end. The D7 and D8 on the higher end
    2
  7395. Hi! The clunk could be from the intermediate shaft some diagnosis is needed to verify
    2
  7396. Hi! It’s a good year to buy if maintained well
    2
  7397. Hi! They are good especially the Awd model
    2
  7398. Hi! If it’s regularly stored for periods over a month it will affect the battery. If it’s regularly driven but short distances it should be ok
    2
  7399. Hi! It doesn’t reduce the reliability if the maintenance is done well
    2
  7400. That’s normal for toyota.
    2
  7401. Hi! I’ll make a video in the spring on how to safely clean the engine bat
    2
  7402. Hi! It’s not near the end of its life when it has a tiny barely leaking shadow
    2
  7403. Hi! Honestly depends on your budget and needs. Most of them are similar in reliability but different in size and features
    2
  7404. I would have them double check everything but it could be pad shift which is a normal condition. I can’t hear the noise so it’s best to be on the safe side and have them take a look
    2
  7405. Yes this is a known issue that’s documented if you have a good extended warranty they will cover it easily and plus give you a rental for a day or two since it’s not a quick simple job.
    2
  7406. There shouldn’t be an issue aligning it. You won’t get it in spec because it’s lifted but you can at least even it out
    2
  7407. Slightly yes but not enough to cause problems. Adjusting camber from the control arms is not possible on Toyota models except the trucks
    2
  7408. Hi! It would need diagnosis. If the steering is working normally there’s no rush to get it fixed or checked out. Kinda of not a diy friendly system to work on.
    2
  7409. Chicago area
    2
  7410. It should. Many dealerships it’s free some of them it’s not
    2
  7411. Do you remember the code?
    2
  7412. Hi! No issues with this model Lexus. However in the rust belt the sway bar links become sometimes one time use. They get damaged if you take them off. But if you don’t they’re good. Best way to check camber and caster is unfortunately getting the alignment checked or look for abnormal wear on the tires for camber and toe issues
    2
  7413. Hi! Thank you for watching my channel! I don’t really know anyone in Southern California.
    2
  7414. I got the email. It’s slightly torn if it’s not making noise I wouldn’t replace it until it starts making noise then replace it.
    2
  7415. dhg111 that’s a simple one. Each one of your rear bushings will have 3 12mm bolts that separate the bracket to remove it and change the bushing. For the front you will want to lower the sub frame in the back to be able to reach the 4 bolts 2 for each bushing bracket. You’ll remove the 4 14 mm bolts that hold the bracket around the bolt for the sub frame on both sides. Then loosen the 2 19mm sub frame bolts slowly to lower it to gain access to the bolts holding the sway bar bushings. A bit harder without a lift but doable diy for sure.
    2
  7416. dhg111 depending on the what year Camry I can give you more specific information. But generally the backs are very easy. The fronts you’d have to lower the subframe just a little bit to get to the bolts that hold the bushing easier
    2
  7417. Hi! It could be. An inspection will reveal what’s going on. Check the front struts as well
    2
  7418. Hi! It shouldn’t matter unless your old tires are severely worn or abnormally worn. In all cases I would do the alignment after the installation of the new tires to take all doubt out.
    2
  7419. Thank you for your comment. So this is what bothers me about some dealerships. You take it in for an alignment they look to make the piece of paper look good not symptoms and the actual concern. I am more interested in why we are doing an alignment and I personally usually ask the customer. Because in the end I want to give you back the car with your concern fixed not with a paper that shows a sea of green but the car still pulls or cause uneven tire wear. Sometimes green numbers on a paper could still make the car pull. Perhaps the technician who did the first alignment didn’t pay attention in the post alignment test drive. The 2nd alignment the technician paid attention and got it right to fix the concerns.
    2
  7420. Hi! I recommend tire rotations every 5k miles. Rotate front to back. Some people cross rotate but that doesn’t exactly do much honestly in Toyota land
    2
  7421. Hi! Mg2 is used to generate when braking. The gasoline engine spins mg1 which then generates and charges the battery
    2
  7422. Hi! I have heard of the issues but I haven’t seen one in person yet
    2
  7423. Hi! If doesn’t say it anywhere it’s by the design of the system. For example the Prius started at 2016+ with 4th gen while the RAV4 started at 2019+
    2
  7424. Hi! Honestly we don’t have them in my area and I am not trained to work on them for the same reason. I have looked at its technical specifications but that’s about it. I don’t have much experience with it.
    2
  7425. Hi! That should be a 3rd generation
    2
  7426. Hi! 3rd generation
    2
  7427. The 2017 Prius V is still gen 3 but late gen 3 with almost all bugs fixed and is a much better version of the car
    2
  7428. Hi! 2018 and newer. I think it’s worth it
    2
  7429. Hi! Usually that would be 2nd generation with that engine. That engine can have issues with oil burning but might be different in your case because that engine stopped in hybrids around 2011
    2
  7430. Hi! That can be normal and is one of the reasons I recommend a break in oil change around this time
    2
  7431. Hi! They actually do make a difference because of weight. Also your 21 uses 0w16 oil the other one doesn’t. But other factors are possibly age. How are the tires and brakes doing?
    2
  7432. Hi! Swapping to a 4 speed is not something I recommend as it might cost you more than buying a CVt. If you can find a good transmission shop that has experience with rebuilding CVTs and gives you a good warranty then yes otherwise I would get a replacement
    2
  7433. Hi! This issue is just starting to happen and I’m trying to get one that is corroded to see what can be done to prevent it and I’ll update you all in a video
    2
  7434. Hi! They do well in snow conditions
    2
  7435. Honestly if your car is running well I would keep it. That’s a good model you have
    2
  7436. Hi! Yes they started on 2018
    2
  7437. Hi! Honestly that’s a matter of taste. I would go with the xle premium on this one
    2
  7438. It is 4th generation for sure
    2
  7439. Hi my brother! Honestly engine hours can be difficult to get accurate with Toyota. I would consider anywhere from 3000-5000 mile oil change interval closer to 3000 if you do extensive idling if not you’re safe with 5k mile intervals
    2
  7440. Hi! Honestly I don't have experience with that specific charger. but it is safe to use a trickle charger to maintain the battery
    2
  7441. Hi! They do loose a bit of efficiency at higher speeds but still get good gas mileage.
    2
  7442. Hi! Yes the oil filter changed from 90915-YZZF2 to 90915-YZZN1. I love my Camry! Good idea on the update perhaps at 6 months
    2
  7443. Hi! I have no experience with Hyundai hybrids
    2
  7444. The Avalon discontinued next year is correct. 2022 is the last year due to low sales. The redesigned Prius should come out in 2023 according to typical generation runs but nothing is confirmed or announced at this point
    2
  7445. Hi Roger. Honestly reliability wise they’re very similar. The Prius will get better gas mileage but it’s also smaller Louder and slower. The Avalon is very nice and is more refined but it’s also much more roomy, comfortable and quiet. A compromise between the two in my opinion would be the Camry hybrid. Really at this point I advice you to go with what you like and what fits your needs me budget
    2
  7446. 😂 not all big lumbering v8s are getting 19.8mpg 😉
    2
  7447. Hi! Some of these require an initialization of the seat motors. Basically move the seat in all possible positions until it stops then the memory function should work
    2
  7448. Hi! I would contact your local Toyota dealership. They can look it uo
    2
  7449. Hi! Fluid film works well
    2
  7450. That one is still under warranty for most cases. And it’s also a hidden gem. Trying to find one and will do a full review
    2
  7451. Hi! If it’s in good shape with good maintenance history and has no rust then it’s not too much
    2
  7452. Hi! They’re good. They have a few common issues but with good maintenance they’re good cars
    2
  7453. Hi! It’s not a bad car! It’s actually a good one as well.
    2
  7454. Hi! Too soon to tell on the tundra.
    2
  7455. Hi! If they’re been taken care of they’re ok cars
    2
  7456. They are very good and especially the V6 model. Tires on the V6 SE are a bit on the pricey side but otherwise it's a very good car to own.
    2
  7457. The 2AR-FE. It’s a good engine as long as it’s maintained
    2
  7458. Hi! Car prices these days are high but that’s a good car if it has good service history
    2
  7459. Hi! Good cars with good maintenance
    2
  7460. Hi! They are good cars in that year most of the small issues are taken care of
    2
  7461. It sounds to me like either a lifter that’s collapsing or a vvti gear that’s causing the noise. Now the mechanics that checked this car was that at a dealership? Did this car ever run low on oil and which oil do you use?
    2
  7462. Make a video with your phone and upload it to YouTube and share. Link
    2
  7463. The ticking is normal for these engines especially when they’re cold
    2
  7464. You can expect the same with the 1GR with good maintenance.
    2
  7465. Hi! Similar video planned for scion
    2
  7466. Hi! At the dealership before it’s sold is usually hit a very long time but repeated full storage of hybrids is not good for the battery long term
    2
  7467. Hi! There are a few places. Email me with the title Chicago service request
    2
  7468. Yes it’s a good one
    2
  7469. Hi! A separate video is coming for bear hybrids to buy which that one is going to be in it
    2
  7470. Hi! It’s a good suv to buy in my opinion. I’m hoping soon as cars are available to include more Lexus videos on the channel
    2
  7471. Hi! Yea it’s advisable to do that. 10 miles it much but a few miles here and there will do. You can engage 4WD at any speed up to 60 mph
    2
  7472. Hi! Fluid film
    2
  7473. Hi! There were a few known issues with it. Mainly water pump leaks and vvti gear rattle on cold start up
    2
  7474. Hi! Those year highlander if taken care of they’re ok but the following generation is much improved
    2
  7475. Hi! I recommend the Avalon. Toyota has a good track record of keeping parts available for discontinued models
    2
  7476. Hi! Other than the early ecu issue they’re very good cars. Rust is not kind to them but is also not kind to other models too
    2
  7477. I still regret selling my 2001 gallery series V6
    2
  7478. Hi! They are if they’re taken care of. Watch for oil and coolant leaks
    2
  7479. Hi! If the price is right yes. Always good to have peace of mind
    2
  7480. Hi! So far there hasn’t been much issues with it on the Lexus side but it’s also much lower volume to get an idea if there are any common issues or not
    2
  7481. Hi! Depends how old the car is. Usually certified cars are not that old so it would be a good turning point
    2
  7482. Here’s a playlist for sienna specific information https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeFzfl0Q8rQUy9XXwsTDP44mSCssiNlui
    2
  7483. They’re good but for some reason always neglected. I see so many Yaris models come in and they’re not taken care of
    2
  7484. Hi! A 2004-2006 Camry v6 or a similar 2002-2006 es300/330
    2
  7485. Hi! No issues with vibration. Check your tire pressure
    2
  7486. Hard to tell with the SC as they’re kinda of rare and with this low mileage as well.
    2
  7487. Hi! How often is the car used?
    2
  7488. Hi! Hard to put it in miles. If it’s not burning oil now I would keep doing what you are doing and you’re good
    2
  7489. Other than the engine burning oil it’s actually a very good car
    2
  7490. Hi! They’re good but I’d avoid the 4 cylinder model unless you know for sure that oil changes were done every 5k or 6 months
    2
  7491. Hi! The Yaris is very good but usually are neglected for some reason and harder to find in good condition.
    2
  7492. Hi! They’re good cars. They have a few common things with them but nothing major.
    2
  7493. A dedicated video for scion is in the works
    2
  7494. Hi! They’re good cars
    2
  7495. Hi! If you have no issues with the car I would drive it and enjoy! Every car has problems but you can minimize them by being aware of the maintenance and taking care of the car.
    2
  7496. It’s good as well as long as maintenance is kept
    2
  7497. Hi! Yea I did a few videos on siennas find them here https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeFzfl0Q8rQUy9XXwsTDP44mSCssiNlui
    2
  7498. I wouldn’t buy one in Chicago. They rust really bad.
    2
  7499. Hi! Land cruisers are awesome! Toyota trucks in general are very good the land cruiser is in a category on its own.
    2
  7500. The throttle body is a good idea to do.
    2
  7501. Hi! They did have some issues that could get worse with bad maintenance habits. Things like cylinder head bolts pulling out and oil consumption
    2
  7502. Hi! Not a mainstream car but they are good cars and owners typically take care of them
    2
  7503. Hi! Rust isn’t kind to them yes
    2
  7504. Similar Lexus video coming up very soon
    2
  7505. That will come in the near future
    2
  7506. Hi! Most Yaris years are good as long as they’re not rusty and avoid the latest one in the US which is made by mazda
    2
  7507. It’s ok. They do have a few issues. Video coming soon on that model
    2
  7508. Kbb.com
    2
  7509. They’re good. Avoid the 4 cylinder unless it has a good service history with 5k oil changes
    2
  7510. Hi! They’re ok. They do have their common issues but the v6 is better than the 4 cylinder
    2
  7511. Do you have any issues? If memory serves right it’s called valvematic actuator I’ll have to look it up
    2
  7512. Hi! It’s the motor that hangs from the side of the cylinder head
    2
  7513. Hi! The 97-99 Camry was good but some improvements happened in 2000-2001 to make it even better and if you’re buying today I’d look for those 2 years
    2
  7514. Hi! Models will be different between continents. Which year is the corolla?
    2
  7515. Haha! Come on in
    2
  7516. On the corolla it’s from age. On the tundra it’s more common to have cam tower leaks
    2
  7517. This video is actually planned for the near future
    2
  7518. I would reset the transmission memory first
    2
  7519. Hi! Depends on where you park it. If it’s flat it shouldn’t be an issue. If it’s an incline or decline then yes and I would use it
    2
  7520. Coming in the near future
    2
  7521. Those are solid as well. Can get expensive if the thing is heavily neglected though
    2
  7522. Hi! 14-16 05-06
    2
  7523. The manual transmission is not affected. Exclusively on the automatic transmission models
    2
  7524. Hi! The Avalon has a similar unibody to the Camry. The V6 is very good. Only possible oil burning is in the hybrid 2AR if the maintenance is neglected
    2
  7525. Hi my brother! Car max seems a tiny bit better than carava but both are questionable with their inspections. Honest companies but just too corporate to focus on small details
    2
  7526. Mainly most of what you’ve changed already. The throttle went to full electronic so they are more reliable. Also the evap system is a lot more reliable
    2
  7527. So the first 2 years of that generation were also good but the 2005-2008 had some improvements which are worth it if you’re buying one today.
    2
  7528. Yes! It’s the same deal almost although on the solara it goes all the way up to 2008
    2
  7529. Hi! Just automatic
    2
  7530. If it’s not rusty and neglected these are good cars
    2
  7531. They’re good.
    2
  7532. If it’s in good shape it’s good
    2
  7533. It’s a good car.
    2
  7534. They’re good and basically the same as a 2004-2006 camry
    2
  7535. Hi! Unfortunate there’s no accurate way to know oil consumption short of owning the car for a while. Rust problems for some are better but for some are worse from other manufacturers.
    2
  7536. That was intentional to see how many folks would notice to see how’s the interest in land cruisers in the community. And many have asked so I’ll see if I can start doing some land cruiser content
    2
  7537. Hi! They are good. much better than the 4 cylinder model
    2
  7538. Hi! There are many options! Fluid film and krown work well
    2
  7539. Hi! The 07 camry has a timing chain. The Tacoma in 2021 has updated parts so no worries on coolant leaks. That noise is makes one reverse does it only make it when the engine is off? If it doesn’t make it when the engine is running then it’s normal and it’s called proximity alert to alert people that the car is running
    2
  7540. Hi! If I was choosing today to buy one I’d go with the 2000-2001 they had a few improvements that are worth it. Otherwise there’s nothing wrong with the 99
    2
  7541. Hi! I am in the Chicago area. Email with Chicago service request in the subject
    2
  7542. Hi! On the V6 it’s important that oil changes were done on time. Otherwise it’s a very good engine
    2
  7543. They’re good as well.
    2
  7544. Hi! The sienna in my opinion is the most reliable in its class but compared to other non minivans they do have their issues. I did a full series on siennas covering almost all models
    2
  7545. Hi! Yes it can be replaced but the strut and spring will need to be replaced as well.
    2
  7546. No. The campaign goes all the way to 2015
    2
  7547. Hi! Good but with the understanding that they’ll cost a bit more than say a Camry or highlander in maintenance and repairs due to their size and features
    2
  7548. And has the same oil burning engine unless it’s been fixed.
    2
  7549. Hi! A separate video is planned and coming soon for each
    2
  7550. If you like it yes. It’s actually a very good car
    2
  7551. Email me with the title “Chicago service request” let’s get that FJ cruiser in a video
    2
  7552. It is the same
    2
  7553. Hi! If it’s not burning oil and you’ll change the trans fluid every 60k you can get another 100k miles or more. At some point you might need to address some suspension repairs but otherwise keep going
    2
  7554. They’re good cars with one reservation and observation. The turbo model. The turbo might be an issue as they get older. It’s very comparable and similar to a rav4
    2
  7555. It’s possible but too early to know for sure
    2
  7556. They’re both good
    2
  7557. Those are very good if they’re not rusty
    2
  7558. For the most part all dealerships follow the same procedures for maintenance
    2
  7559. Hi! Those like to burn oil if not maintained properly.
    2
  7560. Hi! It’s a good suv. The engine can be a bit underpowered but otherwise with good maintenance they’re good
    2
  7561. Hi! The Avalon if not rusty will be a better car overall. The 2005 is much better but it overheated multiple times it could have the same issue
    2
  7562. Hi! The matrix is basically the same as the corolla so the 2005-2008 matrix is also highly recommended if it’s in good condition
    2
  7563. Ok. The issue with these when the head gasket goes it could be that the threads are pulled from the block. Make sure it’s a good mechanic that’s familiar with this engine that does the work
    2
  7564. Hard to tell without diagnosis. Is it as soon as you shift into reverse?
    2
  7565. It is different for the v6
    2
  7566. Hi! There’s no connection but since he drove a long distance he wanted both done at the same time
    2
  7567. Hi! It doesn’t but when I get one with the 2gr-FKS I’ll film it
    2
  7568. If you plan to keep the car long every 50k or 5 years
    2
  7569. If you plan to keep the car long change it at 50k
    2
  7570. Hi! The inverter coolant is separate and simple. I have a video for it
    2
  7571. Hi! If memory serves right there’s no block drain on the AR engines as well. The Y pipe is the other side of the engine not on the thermostat side and an updated part is supposedly already out
    2
  7572. Hi! They should know how to do this process I hope.
    2
  7573. Hi! It is different for the sienna and easier. Just drain and fill until it overflows then you’re done
    2
  7574. Yes. It should be followed by the rest of the procedure to check the fluid level found in my other video
    2
  7575. Likely not but if they use a contaminated funnel it could do that
    2
  7576. Not yet. I will once I get one
    2
  7577. Hi Spencer. If memory serves right there’s an oem remote starter for your car that can be purchased. Otherwise your only option is aftermarket. It needs to be a very good installer though
    2
  7578. Best of luck to you my brother!
    2
  7579. Hi! No you’re not doing anything wrong. A drain and fill is good.
    2
  7580. Hi! If you approach 250 I’d be concerned honestly
    2
  7581. Hi! The amount you replaced is enough to keep things fresh
    2
  7582. Hi! Either works. The flush needs to be followed by a fluid level check
    2
  7583. Only the fluid
    2
  7584. Hi! Honestly there’s a high risk of issues developing if you change it. .50/50 chance
    2
  7585. Hi! At this mileage I would do a drain and fill
    2
  7586. Hi! Driving wheels off the ground. If AWD then flat bed
    2
  7587. Hi! I would drain and fill
    2
  7588. Hi! Keep it in drive unless you’re going downhill.
    2
  7589. Hi! I am honestly not familiar with Ford products and how their transmissions behave when the fluid is changed closer to 100k
    2
  7590. Hi! Downshifting When going downhill is it’s intended purpose and the car does it automatically in most cases. But imagine doing that every time you come to a stop on a flat surface
    2
  7591. Hi! Take a small sample and see how it looks.
    2
  7592. Hi! depends how bad it’s leaking. If it’s bad I would replace the seal. If it’s just starting keep an eye on it if this is an older car with miles
    2
  7593. Hi! Honestly I would leave it alone at this mileage
    2
  7594. Hi! So it will gradually learn overtime your driving habits and adapt. If you have erratic shifting or issues and don’t want to wait you can ask the dealership to reset the learned values and that will return it to a factory state and get it done quicker
    2
  7595. On average with labor yes some are higher
    2
  7596. See the links in the description of the video
    2
  7597. Leave in park.
    2
  7598. Hi! Some of them do like the maintenance. Others don’t like the warming up
    2
  7599. Hi! 100k might be a bit too long in my opinion
    2
  7600. Hi! Fatal would be closer to 300. Concerning would be 250
    2
  7601. Take a very small sample a few drops really. Wouldn’t affect the level.
    2
  7602. If it looks dark and has a burnt smell I would leave it alone
    2
  7603. Hi! At this mileage I would take a sample and see how the current fluid looks
    2
  7604. Hi! They’ll need to trace the leak. A few areas that I’ve seen one is the roof rail and the other is a body seam behind the dash
    2
  7605. Hi! This works! No worries that’s how I would do it with EPB
    2
  7606. Hi! I personally wouldn’t use any fluid but original.
    2
  7607. Some of them yes!
    2
  7608. Hi! If they are original sensors you have to program them using a scan tool.
    2
  7609. Hi! If the fluids never been changed before and you’re over 100k on the original fluid leave it alone at that point. But if you change it every 60k then you can continue to do that at 120 180 240….etc
    2
  7610. If you change the fluid on time you don’t need to change the filter on Toyota transmissions
    2
  7611. Hi! Honestly at this mileage I would leave it alone
    2
  7612. Hi! Honestly I would leave the fluid alone at this time
    2
  7613. Hi! It doesn’t damage the parking pawl but it’s not advised
    2
  7614. Hi! I wouldn’t shift into neutral to coast. It’s the same thing as shifting into neutral at a stop light
    2
  7615. Hi! That’s a bit much. The earliest I would replace it is 30k miles
    2
  7616. On hybrids you can replace them late no issues
    2
  7617. Hi! I wouldn’t add any additive to your transmission.
    2
  7618. Flushes are ok if followed by a fluid level check
    2
  7619. Hi! Yes 6 years
    2
  7620. Hi! B mode is reserved for really steep hills. Hard to fade brakes in hybrids honestly
    2
  7621. Hi! It’s not recommended to do that.
    2
  7622. Hi! Just let the car idle for a few minutes before taking off
    2
  7623. The warming up doesn’t apply to hybrids. Change the fluid in the window of 60-90k
    2
  7624. Hi! It’s not too late
    2
  7625. Hi! This doesn’t apply to dual clutch transmissions.
    2
  7626. Hi! Just replace the fluid. It’s not too late mileage wise
    2
  7627. Hi! Yes that works
    2
  7628. Hi! They don’t really need warming up on hybrids
    2
  7629. If it hasn’t been changed before I would leave it alone
    2
  7630. Hi! On those keep your foot on the brake put it in park and let the brakes go after the parking brake engages
    2
  7631. Hi my brother. Replacing the transmission fluid too frequently is also not good for the transmission.
    2
  7632. It wouldn’t hurt yes
    2
  7633. Hi! Fords might be different than Toyotas. Honestly I don’t have specific experience on fords.
    2
  7634. It does both but can isolate from the outside cooler on models equipped
    2
  7635. It would put unneeded strain on many parts. I would avoid it if possible
    2
  7636. Hi! At this point I would just do a drain and fill and soon.
    2
  7637. Hi! I would use original fluid
    2
  7638. Hi! Yes you are ok to replace it now
    2
  7639. Hi! Usually after 100k the risk increases. I would change the fluid soon in your case
    2
  7640. Hi! It’s not too late
    2
  7641. Hi! Yes I would replace it
    2
  7642. Might be low fluid level or some of these need a memory reset if they had the odd shift syndrome
    2
  7643. Hi! Torque converters will shudder at fully warmed around 45-55 mph steady cruising
    2
  7644. Hi! Neutral doesn’t cause wear to the transmission excessive switching off drive for short periods of time does it
    2
  7645. That’s the same car I drive! Just hybrid! So I do have a general video for that generation but I do need to update it
    2
  7646. Hi! I wouldn’t use it to slow down unless you’re going downhill
    2
  7647. Hi! Similar for hybrids
    2
  7648. Hi! That’s a good thing and it engages on time. Leave it on automatic
    2
  7649. Hi! I wouldn’t just let the transmission automatically downshift
    2
  7650. Hi! It doesn’t include ECVT transmissions
    2
  7651. Hi! Yes on the parking pawl
    2
  7652. Hi! In hybrids you don’t have to worry about warming up the transmission
    2
  7653. Hi! You can still change the trans fluid without issues
    2
  7654. Hi! On the Supra yes the same interval or even sooner depends on your driving conditions
    2
  7655. Hi! If you’re going downhill that happens to be long distance and you see that you’ll be overusing your brakes then downshift the transmission to help the brakes not fade.but avoid downshifting to slow down the car when going on a flat surface not going downhill.
    2
  7656. Hi! I would change it either a flush or a drain and fill
    2
  7657. Hi! Just noise insulation otherwise not much else.
    2
  7658. Hi! Yes that’s true if it’s never been replaced before
    2
  7659. Hi! Change it every 60k miles so 60 120 180 240….etc
    2
  7660. Keep it in drive.
    2
  7661. Scary isn’t it?
    2
  7662. Hi! So far I haven’t seen issues with it. It still has a liquid cooler/warmer which should be sufficient.
    2
  7663. Yes
    2
  7664. Hi! Most of it except the warming up
    2
  7665. Yes
    2
  7666. I would leave it at this point
    2
  7667. You can.
    2
  7668. Be careful doing that. You’ll need to be gentle and not just push the throttle to spin the wheels
    2
  7669. Hi! I the case of auto parking brake put the car in park while keeping your foot on the brake pedal until the Parking brake engage then let the brake pedal go and you’re set
    2
  7670. Hi! Overnight in very cold weather
    2
  7671. Yes
    2
  7672. Hi! Please write your question here or join the livestream on saturdays
    2
  7673. Hi! Toyota hybrid transmissions use Toyota ATF WS. And it doesn’t have a separate differential fluid for the front
    2
  7674. Hi! That’s very good for the transmission actually!
    2
  7675. Hi! I wouldn’t replace the filter just the fluid at this mileage
    2
  7676. The same. Brakes cost less than a clutch or worse a transmission
    2
  7677. Hi! Change it every 50-60k miles and you’re good to go! No worries!
    2
  7678. Hi! If you replace it at 60 then repeat it every 60k so 60 120 180 240…etc. but if you’ve never replace it before and you have over 100k miles leave it alone
    2
  7679. Honestly it’s a high risk if it’s never been replaced before
    2
  7680. Hi! That’s normal and by design
    2
  7681. Yea this is normal and fine
    2
  7682. True on resting your hand on the shifter. Are you near Chicago? Bring it over I’ll check out the parking brake situation
    2
  7683. Hi! On the automatic parking brake nothing is needed. As soon as you put it in park the parking brake engages and it’s not a shoe style parking brake so there’s zero slack
    2
  7684. Hi! I would replace it very soon and just a drain and fill
    2
  7685. Jeff I have a habit of calling everything with wheels a car even trucks so you never know 😉
    2
  7686. Hi Bruce! No it’s not my car. My car is here and I’ll reveal it soon!
    2
  7687. I explained it in this video in the transmission section https://youtu.be/TevK-u3vkx4
    2
  7688. In that kind of weather it’s not needed.
    2
  7689. A single drain and fill.
    2
  7690. Hi! I have a video on that with all the information you need. Find it here https://youtu.be/nBBUQJKTaiM
    2
  7691. It should be good then. I wonder what happened when it rolled back. Honestly it’s hard to tell but if it’s holding now I see no reason to be concerned
    2
  7692. Costco sometimes have them on discount. If you’re a member there I would keep an eye on their website for sales
    2
  7693. Hi! It would have to be a paid separate service to inspect the level as it’s not as simple.
    2
  7694. Hi Dale. I don’t know about other manufacturers but Toyota does have an idle up in their cars to prevent that. I would give it a minute or two and off you go.
    2
  7695. Hi! On that car it’s ok as long as you’re clearing at least 15k miles between changes
    2
  7696. Hi! A flush is ok at this mileage just follow it up with a fluid level check
    2
  7697. Yes as that’s what release the weight on the car secure on the parking brake
    2
  7698. Hi! I don’t like additives
    2
  7699. Hi! Not if it’s used regularly
    2
  7700. Hi! Use that feature as it engages the parking brake in time
    2
  7701. Hi! Likely there’s a small leak. Look in the v valley common for the plate underneath the intake manifold to leak
    2
  7702. Hi! When going downhill do downshift because that’s the intended purpose. But driving on flat roads and downshifting all the time to slow down the car is the issue. On the warming up that’s ok
    2
  7703. Hi! Usually no heat or weak heat and in some cases overheating
    2
  7704. It won’t have the same setup. I would use a spill free funnel though
    2
  7705. 😂
    2
  7706. Hi! It should be just enough to get it done
    2
  7707. So the bleeder valve is the highest point however you’d still want to rev up the engine to get air out of the heater core which is common to trap air in this engine
    2
  7708. On this engine that trick doesn’t work for some reason. It still will give you a hard time to bleed
    2
  7709. Hi! It doesn’t have a bleeder
    2
  7710. Pink super long life coolant from Toyota is always pre mixed. The red coolant from Toyota is not pre mixed.
    2
  7711. Hi! No it’s much simpler. Use the same spill free funnel rev it to 1500 rpm and wait for the fan to cycle on and off twice and you’re good
    2
  7712. Hi! I don’t. Unless there’s contamination there’s no need to flush
    2
  7713. Hi! No the 2zr is much simpler. Depends on the model some of them had a bleeder on the radiator
    2
  7714. Hi! This procedure does not apply to the 3mz. On that one put it in service mode and let it idle until the fans come on and off twice with the heater off.
    2
  7715. Hi! I have a pedal depressor. You need to keep it at 2000-2500 until you have a steady flow of coolant.
    2
  7716. The 2WD always drove more wild than the AWD!
    2
  7717. Hi! You could but a only a small amount will come out
    2
  7718. Yes it does. Use the spill free funnel without any adapters and install it in the tank
    2
  7719. Hi! No yours is much simpler. Drain and fill with the spill free funnel then let it idle with the heat off until the fans cycle on and off twice
    2
  7720. Hi! Air heater off as well on your RX
    2
  7721. Everything looks normal in the freeze frame. A bit on the rich side though. Hard to tell without diagnosing the car in person. I’d still check the fuel quality
    2
  7722. Hi! You’ll drain a bit extra but if access is an issue it’s not really a worthy amount that comes out
    2
  7723. Hi! No just loosen it and put the hose over the bleeder
    2
  7724. If it’s not bled correctly you could have no heat or worse induce overheating
    2
  7725. Hi! If the coolant is replaced at the correct interval there shouldn’t be any gunk to worry about.
    2
  7726. Hi! So I would do this to test it. Start the car and let it idle until the gauge reaches operating temperature. Then turn on the heat at max temp and see if you have full heat or not very hot. If it’s not very hot rev the engine up if it immediately changes to hot then you’ll need to bleed it. If it’s hot then you’re good
    2
  7727. On the hybrid models press the gas pedal to the floor then back off just a bit and that will hold the rpm over 2000 rpm
    2
  7728. Hi! No need for full heater. Just rev it to 1500 rpm until the fan comes on and off twice
    2
  7729. Hi! No bleeder on these engines
    2
  7730. Hi! You can use a compatible coolant however I would use Toyota pink super long life coolant
    2
  7731. Hi! If you can reach the drains easily it wouldn’t hurt but only a small amount comes out of the block.
    2
  7732. Hi! Drain the radiator then fill and run it with the heater off until the fans cycle twice
    2
  7733. Hi bill. Did you have a solid stream from the hose going from the bleeder to the funnel at 2000 rpms?
    2
  7734. Either one will work they’re all the same
    2
  7735. Hi! You could. A small amount will drain out of the block
    2
  7736. It’s very different on that one. I’ll make a video for it when I get one
    2
  7737. Hi! That’s correct rev it up until the fans cycle on and off twice and you’re good. For spilled coolant spray it with some water and you’re all set
    2
  7738. Ok. I think you should be good. It takes a long drive with overheating to cause harm to the head gasket
    2
  7739. Hi! There shouldn’t be damage to the head gasket unless the engine overheats because of the air pocket which if it didn’t then you’re good
    2
  7740. Haven’t gotten one with coolant replacement in my home garage that needs coolant replacement. Open to volunteers…
    2
  7741. Hi! Yes you can empty it out
    2
  7742. Hi! Sometimes you get lucky and air makes its way out. Usually you loose heat or have overheating if it’s not bled correctly
    2
  7743. It should take up to 5 minutes. So abort the operation and see if you have heat at idle.
    2
  7744. Hi! It doesn’t for the FsE variant either unfortunately
    2
  7745. Hi! The rear heat could take longer to warm up on this model. However I would try the procedure in this video but without draining the coolant. Just open the bleeder and connect the hose and use a spill free funnel. If it’s 100% bled already you’ll very shortly after reviving it you will get the steady coolant flow.
    2
  7746. On the sienna you don’t need the heat on
    2
  7747. Hi! On your Avalon this applies. In your sienna simply leave the overflow funnel on with coolant until the fan comes on/off twice
    2
  7748. Hi! You’ll want to repeat the same process again. This time with the rear heater turned on. See if this helps
    2
  7749. Hi! I actually have the vacuum system and I would use this method still. Works great every time.
    2
  7750. Hi William. The answer is simple. The 2GR-FE doesn’t have a heater valve that opens and closes. Coolant always flows to the heater core.
    2
  7751. Hi! There’s a block drain however in most of them it’s hard to access as it’s underneath the exhaust manifold on the back side and in AWD models it’s even harder. Only a small amount of coolant comes out when you drain the block that makes it not really worth the hassle.
    2
  7752. Not yet. Hoping soon to have one
    2
  7753. That’s incorrect from the dealership! Please review your owners manual maintenance schedule for coolant replacement interval for your model!
    2
  7754. I’ve tried that and usually it doesn’t do a lot of help with this engine
    2
  7755. The gurgling would be in the heater core as it tries unsuccessfully to push the air out
    2
  7756. If you have very good heat at idle when the engine is warmed up without driving then you’re good. If you don’t have gurgling noises when you rev the engine at idle from behind the dash then you’re also good.
    2
  7757. Hi! It doesn’t. The bleeding needs to be done
    2
  7758. It can take a while sometimes. Make sure your heater is off both front and rear.
    2
  7759. Hi! Run the rear heat for a bit to bleed it. Some of them can be tough to bleed the rear heat
    2
  7760. Hi! Use an extension with your 10mm and the hose. I hear you on access but it’s possible with the right size extension
    2
  7761. This is one reason the heat takes long. However it can be other issues but I would definitely start with this bleeding procedure as it doesn’t cost much
    2
  7762. Hi! 2 gallons will do it
    2
  7763. No need to be sorry. Very VERY carefully you’ll reach in and feel them. Initially when you start theyll both be Cold yo the touch. Then you’ll notice one of them will get hot to the touch and the other cool. Then they’ll both be hot to the touch
    2
  7764. On that one no
    2
  7765. Hi! The 3MZ doesn’t have a bleeder just run the car until you hear the fan cycle on and off twice
    2
  7766. When I get one in the shop, they’re still new and so far I haven’t had one for coolant replacement
    2
  7767. Hi! For the 2AR fe drain the radiator and fill let the engine run at idle with the heater off until the radiator fan cycles on and off twice. No need to flush with distilled water unless there’s contamination
    2
  7768. Hi! It shouldn’t be an issue as doing the water pump drains most of the coolant in the block
    2
  7769. Hi’ you could yea but only a small amount comes out
    2
  7770.  @jotu173  I read your whole comment. Some bubbles even big ones are normal! You’re slightly over analyzing this. The hose will let some air in but only to the hose. Head gasket not likely. Close everything up and check for heat at idle if it’s good then drive it and let it cool down completely over night then the next day drive it to warm it up and top off the coolant
    2
  7771. Hi! No need to flush the system fully if you’re just replacing it for maintenance not contamination
    2
  7772. Hi! The 2GR-FSE doesn’t have the bleeder unfortunately so this procedure doesn’t apply to it
    2
  7773. Hi! Not sure about other engines from other manufacturers as they might be different
    2
  7774. Hi! Unless you have very heavy back seat use or daily pets in the back seat then no every oil change should do it
    2
  7775. Hi! I did for 2 generations still missing the 12-17
    2
  7776. Hi! As needed inspect every few months
    2
  7777. No if the air coming in is filtered it will Be clean coming out
    2
  7778. It depends on your use. If you have heavy back seat use pets or children. I would start by checking it every 3 months then 6 months and go from there
    2
  7779. I would just vacuum it regularly when you clean the filter.
    2
  7780. Hello tony! Close the RAV4 will have the filter on the side of the bottom of the seat. A video is coming up soon for that one
    2
  7781. It is! They started around 2018 with lithium ion batteries! I have a video coming up next week showing you the inside of a Toyota hybrid lithium ion battery
    2
  7782. I would inspect the filter. If it looks dirty clean it or replace it if not then you’re good.
    2
  7783. Yes that should do it.
    2
  7784. Hi! The filter doesn’t need to be replaced. You can clean it and reuse it
    2
  7785. It’s similar. I would check it every 3 months and go from there. Sometimes it gets dirty in a month sometimes it might be years. It depends on your use of the back seat.
    2
  7786. Smoking shouldn’t be an issue. Lint is a bigger issue from clothing. Check the filter every month or two and adjust your interval accordingly. Some people will need to clean it every month some can go years without needing to clean it. Depends on your use
    2
  7787. Hi! Around 2012 in some models while others had them from day one. Let me know which model Toyota hybrid and year and I’d give you an idea of when they started.
    2
  7788. Hi! The part number for the 2020 Camry hybrid is G92DH-33050 and I would check it roughly every 3 months. It will depend on your use of the back seat
    2
  7789. It really depends on your use. Heavy back seat use and especially pets make this filter get dirty very quickly. I would check it every 3- 6 months yourself and go from there
    2
  7790. It will heavily depend on your use. I’d check it initially every month if it’s clean then I’d increase it to 3 until you find a good time period that you catch it before it gets very dirty.
    2
  7791. It depends on your use. I would check it every month and if it’s clean then I’d move it to every 3 months and go from there
    2
  7792. Kevin Burola that is just sad. Well they lose the business and you can clean it yourself and it won’t cost you a penny just gain a longer life of the battery.
    2
  7793. That wouldn’t be a bad idea. It will depend on your use. If it’s clean every oil change then I’d clean it every other oil change and go from there
    2
  7794. This one https://youtu.be/0GpbRdiI65A
    2
  7795. Hi! I would check it every 3 months if you have heavy back seat use pets or children. If it’s clean after 3 months then increase it to 6 months and a year accordingly
    2
  7796. I would love to do it as soon as I find a car to feature for a video in Chicago.
    2
  7797. Hi! Yea you can order it from Toyota
    2
  7798. It’s close and in the same general area. I’ll make a video for it when I get a car to film with.
    2
  7799. I’m working on getting a car to film with on hour mode.
    2
  7800. Pry the middle part out with a screw dricer
    2
  7801. They are both good. Also the corolla hybrid does come with lithium ion as well. Video coming up next week on the corolla hybrid with a lithium ion
    2
  7802. Similar but not exactly the same
    2
  7803. KYBs are better among the aftermarket stuff. If you retain the original springs you should be ok
    2
  7804. Hi! I would replace the struts and mounts only. But before you do I’d second the sway bar bushings. When they wear out it sounds like the whole rear of the car is going to fall off when you go over bumps
    2
  7805. Hi! Lifting the trucks has its disadvantages. But trucks are a lot better with aftermarket suspensions than cars and especially the older ones.
    2
  7806. Hi! At this point I would leave it alone
    2
  7807. Hi! Honestly hard to tell without diagnosis but do check the rear suspension especially the sway bar links
    2
  7808. Hi! The same thing for the solara
    2
  7809. Thank you for watching! Will reveal that on the 100k sub video!
    2
  7810. Hi! They use the holes to carry the body on the plant and installing them is something they decided to leave for the dealership. It’s not a wear item once installed it’s good
    2
  7811. Yes!
    2
  7812. Hi! Usually less than 10 miles. Sometimes dealerships trade cars between them locally so you’ll have less than 50 miles on them
    2
  7813. Hi! Honestly this can happen. However it’s not a repeating pattern over and over. It might happen once or twice which will not have as much of a negative effect
    2
  7814. Hi! The Atlanta area is part of southeast distribution. It’s a bit of a different way they do things so it’s true. The pre delivery service is done by SET then sent to the dealership. So basically there’s a middle man between Toyota and the dealership that does it
    2
  7815. It’s on the rental car company. The do their own pdi because they buy cars wholesale from Toyota
    2
  7816. Congratulations!
    2
  7817. You can remove the plate and apply some foam to stop it from vibrating
    2
  7818. That is seam sealer to seal two panels that are welded together
    2
  7819. Hi! Could’ve been water evaporating as it goes over the hot exhaust..
    2
  7820. Yes it’s a fuse
    2
  7821. Japan vs NA video coming tomorrow
    2
  7822. Hi! They seal a whole in the body that’s used to carry the car through production. If it’s not installed water can get inside the frame and start rusting it out
    2
  7823. After hours when the dealership is closed
    2
  7824. Hi! It is safe
    2
  7825. Hi! No problem if you add it.
    2
  7826. The RAV4 is Built in Canada and the corolla in japan
    2
  7827. I haven’t done that in a long time on that car! It should lift off but I’ll double check for you
    2
  7828. Hi! Thank you for watching my channel. If you drive on the highway regularly you likely won’t need to clean the intake. Just clean the throttle body every 50k miles and you’re good. Updates are not something that should be done regularly. Only if there’s an issue repaired with an update. No need to carry fluids as these cars are pretty reliable new
    2
  7829. Hi! All over the place! Some are quarter tank some more or less. Fleet cars are usually almost empty
    2
  7830. If you ask the dealership in some states they might have you sign a waiver and not install it
    2
  7831. yes! Very excited!
    2
  7832. I hear you! It’s a 9 hour drive but it’s still crossing borders and customs....etc
    2
  7833. Hi! If you can reach them install them yourself if not then have the dealership take care of them
    2
  7834. It has to be inspected before delivery so I wouldn’t ask
    2
  7835. Hi! Either an alignment or there’s a procedure from Toyota where you can do it on the lift
    2
  7836. Not right off the top of my head but I'll remeber to check next time
    2
  7837. In addition to some of the items here the most important thing is checking for scratches and dings before you sign the paper work. Here’s a video with a few tips on that https://youtu.be/nBBUQJKTaiM
    2
  7838. The electric steering can be tough to turn when it’s off. Honestly this one will need in person diagnosis and hard to figure out in this format
    2
  7839. Hybrids used to be made in Japan! Not anymore! Now they're made everywhere!
    2
  7840. Hi! You can ask the dealership to check
    2
  7841. You can ask the dealership to put the car up on the lift if you need to.
    2
  7842. The RAV4 is not a truck. It’s a unibody not body on frame
    2
  7843. Hi! I would set it at 33 psi. Avoid damaging the wheels!
    2
  7844. Hi! The dealership can order them for you. Just ask them for body plugs that come with the pdi. They will spin their heads for a while as they are hard to find in the parts catalog and junior parts guys wouldn’t even know where to look
    2
  7845. Hi! It’s possible it’s a double copy. It’s a paper that’s printed at the dealership and nothing exclusive to the car
    2
  7846. Hi! Some do some don’t. Double check the glovebox the underneath for open holes
    2
  7847. Hi! I would have the dealership try to change the setting in techstream and see if it holds. This one is interesting
    2
  7848. Steering is not centered. So when you drive the car the Toyota logo would be correctly oriented and the steering wheel in it’s the correct Ahead position the car should drive perfectly straight. If it starts going one side or another then it’s off center
    2
  7849. Hi! They’re used to hold the car in the factory
    2
  7850. I don’t know what the dealer preparation charge is?!? Never seen it. Toyota pays for the PDS not you!
    2
  7851. Hi! That depends on which factory the car is made in and also the model. Some models have no plugs at all. Some come with them installed some not. That’s why the dealership technician needs to check closely to make sure
    2
  7852. It used to be the case but not anymore.
    2
  7853. Hi! Fluids that don’t have a dipstick are checked at the factory
    2
  7854. Hi! It doesn’t disable the odometer from accumulating miles
    2
  7855. Yes you won’t have issues with warranty
    2
  7856. Hi! They don’t fill with special oil. Just Toyota 0w16
    2
  7857. Hi! AC voltage alternates that could be normal
    2
  7858. They usually pay around 1-1.5 hours and it takes almost that time
    2
  7859. Likely it was missed which is not ok. I’m sorry you had to go through that
    2
  7860. Hi! Borderline. I would do a single drain and fill at the mlst
    2
  7861. Yes I would replace it every 5k
    2
  7862. Hi! 10w30 toyota oil is conventional not synthetic
    2
  7863. Hi! It would be a good idea to replace it
    2
  7864. Hi! I wouldn’t use anti seize as it alters the torque and usually causes the plug to seize believe it or to.
    2
  7865. Hi! Even with synthetic
    2
  7866. Hi! I would leave it alone at this point
    2
  7867. I have a video on how to check the fluid level. Search car care nut transmission fluid
    2
  7868. Flushes are ok if they follow it up with a fluid level check
    2
  7869. Hi! I’m here :-)
    2
  7870. Hi! If you plan to keep it long I highly recommend you do pay every other oil change
    2
  7871. Hi! I would get it replaced using original fluid which Toyota WS fluid
    2
  7872. Hi! It’s ok don’t worry. And another replacement after 30k miles is a good idea
    2
  7873. Hi! It’s possible that a water pump is leaking but given the low mileage I would keep an eye on the coolant for a month. If it doesn’t drop then it’s too small of a leak to warranty replacement
    2
  7874. Hi! It could be an abs sensor. Check codes and see what comes up
    2
  7875. Hi! Yes cvt as well
    2
  7876. Hi! Filters replace as needed. Ac system nothing unless there’s issues
    2
  7877. Hi! If it’s done correctly it shouldn’t
    2
  7878. Hi! I would. If you are doing it yourself fluids are not expensive and simple to replace on both cars
    2
  7879. Hi! Honestly never. You keep the fluid changed at your interval just keep it going
    2
  7880. Hi! I wouldn’t honestly. It’s a high risk job at this mileage with no record
    2
  7881. Hi! Hard to tell without diagnosis. Is the batter weak or old?
    2
  7882. Hi! For manual transmission every 30-50k miles with the first replacement closer to 30k
    2
  7883. Hi! I would leave it alone honestly if it’s never been replaced before
    2
  7884. Hi! I honestly wouldn’t my brother. Especially if you’re doing it DIY
    2
  7885. Hi! At this mileage I would leave it alone
    2
  7886. Hi! Every 30-50k miles
    2
  7887. Hi! It doesn’t have a trans dipstick nor a locking gas cap door
    2
  7888. Hi! I would replace the fluids. “ sealed “ transmissions is just a word for a transmission with no dipstick. I have a couple videos on how to service these
    2
  7889. Hi! You can
    2
  7890. Hi! Every 6 years is a good interval in your case
    2
  7891. Hi! I would use regular oil that’s correct for the engine.
    2
  7892. Hi! I don’t have access to the info right now. Techinfo.toyota.com or leave a comment tomorrow later in the day
    2
  7893. Hi! Every 30-50k miles
    2
  7894. Hi! You’ll want to wait until 120k for the spark plugs. I do have videos for all the maintenance items for your highlander
    2
  7895. Hi! Which year Venza?
    2
  7896. Hi! Yes I would change the oil every 6 months
    2
  7897. Hi! Every 50k miles or 5 years
    2
  7898. Hi! Yes you can
    2
  7899. Hi! Depends on the rest of the car
    2
  7900. Hi! Mobil 1 is good. It’s low mileage and that’s a bit of a long oil change intervals on the history. Go with 5k oil changes and you should be ok
    2
  7901. Yes on your car it needs a scan tool to do that
    2
  7902. Hi! Honestly no. Which model do you have?
    2
  7903. Hi! It’s good quality oil.
    2
  7904. Hi! On the oil for the engine 6 months is a good idea if you don’t use the engine as much. On the transmission and coolant the same apply
    2
  7905. Hi! It shouldn’t be an issue to change it now on hybrids
    2
  7906. Hi! It’s ok to use 75w90
    2
  7907. Hard to tell good mechanics unless you try them and see how they are. Everything that’s recommended you need to see and understand why it’s needed. Anything that sounds fishy could very well be so research before you buy
    2
  7908. Hi! Do you do regular short trips and very little highway driving?
    2
  7909. Hi! Flush is ok if it’s within the 60k mile range. Otherwise drain and fill is safer
    2
  7910. Hi! Yes once I get one
    2
  7911. Hi! It’s for the emissions warranty. No other exact answer is given
    2
  7912. Hi! You can look at the part number of the filter. If it ends in N1 they did replace it. If it ends in numbers then they didn’t. And Lucas oil is fine
    2
  7913. Hi! That is correct
    2
  7914. Hi! If the transmission fluid has never been done, I would consider replacing it. Same with the engine coolant
    2
  7915. Hi! Yes it shouldn’t be an issue
    2
  7916. Hi! If all depends on their actual condition and service history.
    2
  7917. Hi! Yes you can
    2
  7918. Hi! I talk about it in this video https://youtu.be/nBBUQJKTaiM Then I do a break in oil change on my car here https://youtu.be/uU9SX-Wt2GQ
    2
  7919. Hi! On hybrids it’s actually easier than regular. I did a video on that search car care nut hybrid transmission fluid and you’ll find it
    2
  7920. Hi! Borderline I would just do a drain and fill
    2
  7921. Hi! Some slight vibration is normal for that engine
    2
  7922. Hi! Yes I would drain and fill the transmission fluid at this time
    2
  7923. Hi! As needed typically 5-7 years depends on your climate and use
    2
  7924. Hi! An oil change and a good inspection is a good idea. Focusing on tires brakes and general safety items before any other fluids are changed
    2
  7925. On modern Toyotas never as it’s not a service item
    2
  7926. Hi! I would drain and fill a single time at 60k and call it a day
    2
  7927. Hi! They would do a drain and fill if you ask them
    2
  7928. Hi! Yes clean it every 25-50k miles
    2
  7929. Hi! Yes on a hybrid there’s no issues changing it late
    2
  7930. The hoses last a really long time. The only hoses that fail early are ones that has a plastic piece with another another hose attached
    2
  7931. Hi! I would leave it alone if you have no history of fluid replacement
    2
  7932. Hi! It’s a good model if it’s in good shape
    2
  7933. Hi! I would wait at least 6 years for time on the transmission fluid if you don’t put miles.
    2
  7934. Hi! Yes you can change it at this mileage
    2
  7935. Hi! Not yet I’ll make one when I get one
    2
  7936. Hi! Yes on both
    2
  7937. Hi! No recall. Start with the sensor
    2
  7938. Hi! It’s not too late.
    2
  7939. Hi! Since you’ve replaced it at 60k it should be ok
    2
  7940. If it’s too dark and has a burnt smell don’t replace. If it’s clean and reddish then yea replace it
    2
  7941. Hi! Borderline honestly. There’s some risk replacing it at this mileage. Take a small sample of the fluid and see how it looks
    2
  7942. Hi! it’s ok at this mileage
    2
  7943. Hi! If you’re only replacing the strut KYB is good. But quick struts are the issue where they change the ride quality
    2
  7944. Hopefully soon.
    2
  7945. Hi! On the 2003 corolla it should be replaced every 30k that model doesn’t use WS fluid . You take a big risk replacing it at this mileage if it’s original
    2
  7946. Hi! Check the mounting bolts for the column and the motor. Not common but possible that they are loose or the bushing is broke
    2
  7947. Hi! That is very rare indeed. Only thing I can think of is the timing gear caused it. Did it ever rattle on cold starts?
    2
  7948. This is a good car if it’s been take care of. Check for rust, if too rusty walk away. They’re common for water pump leaks and drive belt noises which are very simple to replace and fix. Not as common but some of them develop an oil leak from the engine very easy to spot just check underneath it. Otherwise if the maintenance is up to date these can be very good cars
    2
  7949. Hi! They can corrode faster if the plugs are not installed
    2
  7950. Hi! It could be a starter failing with age. If you’re sure your jumper is strong it could be the starter
    2
  7951. Hi! Starters do wear as they get older. I wouldn’t put it as a common problem. If it’s making loud noise I would replace it. But before you do verify that it’s actually the starter making noise
    2
  7952. Hi! That’s an evap leak. It shouldn’t come back right away. Some diagnosis is needed on this one. But that shouldn’t be something hard to find as it’s a gross leak
    2
  7953. Possibly yea along with cleaning the magnets
    2
  7954. Just a drain and fill and do it sooner than later. There’s some risk to issues if it’s original fluid at this point
    2
  7955. To make a long story short. Fuel economy and emissions
    2
  7956. Do both on the pinch weld.
    2
  7957. I don’t have a tutorial myself
    2
  7958. Hi! If it gets bad enough where it makes it on every start I would fix it. If you’re capable and have done similar jobs it’s possible to diy
    2
  7959. Follow the negative cable from the battery to the body.
    2
  7960. Hi! 5w20
    2
  7961. Not the 2ZR-FE
    2
  7962. Hi! Honestly you can’t go wrong with either model. The XSE big wheels does make it harsher to drive if you live in an area with lots of pot holes. The SE is a very good package as well but the V6 is also very nice
    2
  7963. Hi! More than likely it’s an alternator issue
    2
  7964. That engine is in the newer model. It didn’t have most of the issues however being a valvematic they did have some issues with the valvematic actuator
    2
  7965. Hi! Honestly any dealership that sells at MSRP which there are a few that still does sell at Msrp
    2
  7966. Black series! 😂 it’s called the XRS
    2
  7967. Hi! I’ll get to it eventually!
    2
  7968. Hi! I do here it is https://youtu.be/i8FON3-RYks
    2
  7969. The dealership will be expensive. Instead I would find a good independent mechanic that is familiar with the job and consider getting the parts original online to keep costs down while doing the job well
    2
  7970. Hi! Yes you can
    2
  7971. Hi! It is lubricated with transmission fluid
    2
  7972. Hi! You’d want to put it in hybrid mode which will start the engine then go into ev
    2
  7973. It’s only in the Prius prime.
    2
  7974. It’s not possible for Toyota hybrids
    2
  7975. The heat pump system is intimidating at first but it’s actually genius!
    2
  7976. Thank you!
    2
  7977. Hi! Original parts factory trained technicians. Also access to the manufacturers latest tools and equipment
    2
  7978. Hi Keith. Thank you for your comment! So it’s not possible for dual motor drive to happen when the engine is running. Both MGs will drive only when the engine is off. When the engine is running it’s turning mg1 to generate and assisting mg2 to drive.
    2
  7979. Yes I’d say it is if you live in area where salt is used
    2
  7980. No need. If the engine doesn’t start then it’s already at good temperature and you’re good to go
    2
  7981. Thank you! There shouldn’t be an issue with that as long as things get dried up and avoiding direct water pressure on electrical connectors
    2
  7982. Hi! It actually automatically engage B mode which uses the engine to stop the car. The engine is technically not running just spinning
    2
  7983. I was referring to the US like it was available in California but not in most other states.
    2
  7984. Hi! It does but in limited markets and while it was highly praised it didn’t pick up the traction that the newer prime managed to do.
    2
  7985. Hi! This information is not published if I remember correctly. I’ll double check
    2
  7986. Toyota hybrids will go EV here and there while driving at higher speeds. But from a standstill entering full EV mode by pressing the button is limited to 25 mph and a very short distance.
    2
  7987. If you are at a complete stop and in drive you can press the power button and it will automatically engage park and shut off the car without issues just make sure you’re at a complete stop
    2
  7988. Hi! I would come to a complete stop before engaging park as it could damage the parking pawl
    2
  7989. Hi! The battery is expensive but it also has a very long warranty. It’s actually just under 10k and I haven’t seen one fail yet. Highest mileage prime I’ve seen is actually a viewer which had just under 200k miles without issues.
    2
  7990. It will depend on your use. I’d check it every 3 months and see how it’s progressing. You could go a year without it getting dirty or a month depending on your use.
    2
  7991. Hi! Thank you for watching my video! Don’t be concerned about damage. The computer doesn’t allow the battery to get too low where it cannot save it by charging. As soon as you put it in park it can turn on the engine and charge the battery and all is well. Don’t worry.
    2
  7992. Hi! It’s the lightest and it has a lithium ion battery
    2
  7993. No real precautions in a car wash. And they do good with cold weather just storing them for over a month in very cold weather outside is not healthy for the battery
    2
  7994. Hi! That wouldn’t damage the hybrid battery but it would drain the regular 12volt battery. If you need the radio on I would leave the car on. Everytime you see the REaDY light on in the dash the car is in and know that the engine could turn off but it doesn’t mean that the car is off
    2
  7995. Hi! Go by the weight that’s on your owners manual. If it says use 0w16 only then use that. Mobil 1 makes 0w16 full synthetic
    2
  7996. I would use 0W20 for best mileage and 5W20 works as well. Full synthetic. If not sure of brands either use Toyota oil or Mobil 1
    2
  7997. If it’s not a very high powered one then you’re good. You wouldn’t hurt your hv battery it would be the dc/dc converter that is supplying power to the car that would.
    2
  7998. Hi! Your car has lithium ion. Each model will be different
    2
  7999. Hi! Which model do you have?
    2
  8000. It varies by model. Usually 2-3k
    2
  8001. Hi! You can try it but please be careful and do as much research as possible before
    2
  8002. Hi! Repeated 1 month or more storage is Too much
    2
  8003. Hi Jose Antonio. Thank you for watching my channel! No harm is done using eco and normal even sport mode actually. I would use the mode that gives you the best mileage and driving conditions.
    2
  8004. Congratulations on your purchase! Find information on the m20a in this series. It’s about the A25A but your engine is identical in features just a bit smaller https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeFzfl0Q8rQXfl21SFQukwySfQyNKYRiV
    2
  8005. Hi! Thank you for watching my channel! The Hv battery in your auris is nickel metal hydride.
    2
  8006. With the case of a polar vortex it’s not good for any car. Areas with repeated weather like that typically have block heaters... etc but if you will be driving it during this time it’s ok. But if it’s just parked I’d consider turning it on or better in agarage
    2
  8007. 😂 that’s a good one!
    2
  8008. Hi Erik! Thank you for watching my video! So when the battery goes bad the hybrid system goes into a safe mode where the engine runs all the time to drive the car. The car becomes very low on power and very sluggish but it will still drive. The standard repair from Toyota is to replace the entire battery. If one cell fails the rest of the cells are the same age and not far behind.
    2
  8009. Hi! I don’t have information on EU models but in the US LE models have lithium ion and the rest has nickel metal hydride
    2
  8010. If the ready light is not on in either ignition mode you are using the 12v battery. When the ready light is on you are not using the 12v battery
    2
  8011. They went with lithium ion for light weight and more compact designs. There are advantages and disadvantages to both. I am in the early stages of creating a video for comparison
    2
  8012. Hi Marc! Thank you for watching my video. Too long is months not weeks. And more importantly is how systematic or frequent is the storage. If every year you are leaving the car for 3 months in storage that’s an issue. If once every 3 years you leave it for 3 months in storage likely that’s not an issue.
    2
  8013. The battery vents has a mesh built into them. There are 3 vents directly underneath the back seat. They have 2 small little doors that pop off to show 2 10mm screws take them out and vent comes out
    2
  8014. If you notice in park and ready on. As soon as the gasoline engine comes on the car slightly rocks back and forth. That is the motive force of the hold resistance. Older hybrid models used to be a bit clunky when they hold and switch newer ones are a lot smoother. There’s a dampener between the engine and the transmission to absorb some of that holding resistance.
    2
  8015. Thank you! It’s a very cool setup. Simple when you look at the simple math and electrical theory but complicated of how it’s actually constructed
    2
  8016. Not directly it’s covered by panels underneath but effectively yes it vents outside.
    2
  8017. The general theory of how the battery works applies to all hybrid models including all generations
    2
  8018. On your 2021 XLE RAV4 hybrid you’ll have a lithium ion battery. Only the base model came with nickel metal hydride battery.
    2
  8019. Hi! It turns on and off depending on need. Which model are you inquiring about?
    2
  8020. You can jump start your hybrid normally. However it’s not recommended that you jump start other non hybrid cars from your hybrid
    2
  8021. Hi! The batteries are not compatible between the hybrid model and prime. Significant modifications are needed to make it work and definitely doesn’t justify the cost
    2
  8022. Hi Suzi! It’s not an issue if you drive your car normal just short distances. If you store it for months and months without a single drive over time that does have negative effects on the battery
    2
  8023. Hi! The older models has a mesh type filter which can be washed with water but needs to dry 100% before reinstallation. The newer ones has a paper filter similar to an engine air filter. Those you don’t want to wash with water just vacuum. The interval depends on your use check every few months and adjust the interval accordingly
    2
  8024. Hi! Thank you for watching my video. If the hybrid battery is completely dead the car will not run at all. The hybrid system needs the high voltage battery to start the engine and if it’s dead it can’t do that. And parking it for 4 hours in extreme high heat the car should start but might have the fan running on high to cool down the battery.
    2
  8025. A trickle charger helps. If you’re worried about the battery having issues when you’re out of town I would get a small portable jumper back. It’s so small you can fit it in the trunk and keep it charged. It doesn’t take much to jump start a hybrid car.
    2
  8026. It could have either or
    2
  8027. Hi! You can’t tap into the hybrid battery safely. As far as solar panels it would have to be custom made not readily plug and play
    2
  8028. Hi! Some tire places and dealerships put nitrogen in tires. Not really a big deal to mix them as regular air has a significant amount of nitrogen anyway.
    2
  8029. Hi! If the car detects a high voltage electricity leak it will isolate the battery to minimize that risk
    2
  8030. Hi! They are more than capable. However the gas mileage will drop a bit
    2
  8031. Hi Dominic. Typically we don’t see them go past 5 years often however anything is possible. If the car is driven very often it’s possible for them to last longer
    2
  8032. Hi! Yes but nothing too excessive.
    2
  8033. Hi! I’d steer away from the 2011 unless you know it’s in good condition. Best Prius to buy in that price range is 2012-2015 abs 2015 being best
    2
  8034. Hi Gabriel. So high heat is not great for a hybrid battery but it won’t damage it in one day. Over a long period of years it will slowly degrade it. However the battery has good coverings on it to protect it from direct sun light. Also the cooling system is capable of quickly cooling things down as long as it’s healthy and not obstructed
    2
  8035. You could install dual batteries however I worry that the charger won’t be able to charge them both effectively. I wouldn’t jump a gasoline only car from a hybrid.
    2
  8036. Thank you for watching my videos! I am not very familiar with these models as they are not sold in my market. But I would assume they are similar to the 3rd generation Prius hybrid wise
    2
  8037. Hi! I wouldn’t use the 12v battery for parking mode I would look for a camera with its own battery
    2
  8038. In my opinion they did that for cost. Lithium ion batteries cost them more and since the LE doesn’t have as much options it made sense
    2
  8039. Hi! Hybrid mechanics outside the dealership are not as common. However id like to bring your attention to one thing. Other than the hybrid system the rest of the car is normal. So suspension even regular brake replacements and other non hybrid components don’t need a hybrid specialist to work on. Only hybrid components and diagnosis would need someone trained for the car and those cases are rare and in those rare cases perhaps take it to the dealership.
    2
  8040. Hi! This series pertains to your new rav4 hybrid.
    2
  8041. Thank you for watching. The cells are balanced and equal in voltage.
    2
  8042. That is a possibility. Interesting as my sources don’t specify different markets. I’ll look into it
    2
  8043. Hi! Likely not. The minute the hybrid system detects voltage where it’s not supposed to be it will shut down
    2
  8044. Gen 3 common problems videos coming soon. The oil consumption is a problem with these. There’s a TSB with updated pistons and rings but the issues goes to the 10k oil change.
    2
  8045. I’ll add this video idea to the list! In the meantime email with any questions specific to jobs you’re tackling and I can help with tools needed
    2
  8046. Warranty parts need to be returned to the manufacturer. So in the case of warranty no you cannot get the parts back
    2
  8047. You’ll need a scan tool to run the test and see what’s happening and what it is doing and what it is not doing to get a better idea
    2
  8048. Hi! As long as water doesn’t enter the cabin you’re good. Batteries usually sit higher in hybrids except the 2021 sienna which sits a bit lower than usual.
    2
  8049. The max allowed will vary by model. Driving at that speed is not an issue however the efficiency of the hybrid system is greatly reduced at that speed.
    2
  8050. Grocery runs every week around 5 mile drives is enough to keep things taken care of for your hybrid. Long term storage for months at a time is the issue
    2
  8051. The vent is the side of the back seat. First see if there is a filter installed look inside the vent. Use a vacuum to clean the filter if equipped. Will try to make a video on this for everyone
    2
  8052. Yes I am from Chicago. I work at a Toyota dealership. Email me for details. Thank you.
    2
  8053. Hi! The fan vent is on the passenger side of the back seat. I’m trying to find a car to film with so I can demonstrate how to install a filter and clean the fan.
    2
  8054. Personally I wouldn’t. Perhaps a bike rack or a small cargo carrier but nothing with wheels and nothing heavy.
    2
  8055. Hi! It’s very difficult to get the high voltage battery very low unless your intentionally trying to do so
    2
  8056. Rick Barganier it’s located on the passenger side rear seat. As soon as you open the door look on the seat back you’ll see the vent. Your car might not have been equipped with a filter you can get one and install it to make it easier to protect the fan.
    2
  8057. I wouldn’t let it sit over 3 weeks or so without driving repeatedly. That will first kill the 12v battery then over time it will negatively affect the hybrid battery.
    2
  8058. Hi! I wouldn't be concerned about the 12v battery. It's typically for lot cars to sit and have discharged batteries. Dealerships typically fully recharge the 12v battery prior to delivery to you and even if you have issues it's covered under warranty and they can easily replace the 12v battery and be done with it.
    2
  8059. Hi! I would ask your service center if they serviced it. If nit have them take a look
    2
  8060. Hi! Consider tinting the windows which helps a lot. See laws in your state for allowed tinting percentages
    2
  8061. Hi! A RAV4 hybrid would be perfectly fine on a long trip in hot weather as long as the hybrid battery fan filter is serviced and clean.
    2
  8062. Weight is going to depend on a lot of factors. Even the weight of the body panels and the additional equipment that the car have
    2
  8063. Hi! The filters are on the side of the seats. I am working to get a video out for the highlander hopefully sometime in February.
    2
  8064. I like the new corolla hybrid a lot. For the price you get a car that’s well optioned and the gas mileage is very impressive! And with good maintenance I wouldn’t have any doubt it would last a very long time without anything major. Thank you for your comment hope you have a wonderful weekend!
    2
  8065. I’m not very familiar with the Yaris hybrid because it’s not sold in my area however I would look around the back seat and especially underneath it for a vent the filter sits behind it
    2
  8066. Thank you for your comment. I understand your point. Going 10% under is reasonable and I can see the benefits of it in your case. The point in this video is to stop going 80-100 psi to get better gas mileage.
    2
  8067. Wim Schoenmakers I am assuming it is similar to the first generation Prius. The fan is typically located by the battery. Not sure about the exact setup of the auris but find the hybrid battery which is likely located in the back either underneath the back seats or behind them. Carefully remove the carpet coverings and the fan typically is white in color and has the shape of a fan. It is directly bolted into the hybrid battery. Alternatively you could follow the vent to the battery as that vent connects directly to the fan.
    2
  8068. It’s actually not zero charge left. The computer won’t allow the battery to get critically low. You are good and won’t harm the battery.
    2
  8069. You can but know that the efficiency won’t be as good at those speeds
    2
  8070. It should be enough to clean it.
    2
  8071. Hi! I usually would give the car a few minutes in cold weather before taking off. In hybrids the engine will run to warm up then shut off
    2
  8072.  @rnordquest  There is a fan. But cars are not designed to idle for a very long time with the A\C running. The fan can provide so much air flow. but the air flow from the car moving helps as well as the fans.
    2
  8073. Hi! You could use a bigger battery just make sure it’s vented properly
    2
  8074. Hi Janne working on time stamps for all the videos just haven’t made my way to this one
    2
  8075. Hi! Honestly there’s no direct and accurate way to know the exact health of the battery
    2
  8076. Hi! It shouldn’t be an issue if you disconnect the battery. If you want to play it safe remove the exhaust from the car
    2
  8077. @Joseph Wagnon I'm sorry to hear about the break in man. I agree sometimes they break the window to steal a $20 item and cost the owner hundreds in window replacement.
    2
  8078. john thompson Hi John! Yes it is safe to go through a car wash as that’s a short amount of time.
    2
  8079. That’s a super common problem on these. A little circuit board needs replacement. You can only get it from the dealership because of the mileage of the car. Replacement is not hard and not super expensive.
    2
  8080. Thank you for watching my video. The instrument cluster issue is a known one and Toyota did extend the warranty on it for some time. Likely it’s expired now but it’s a very common problem. When you say the car shuts off after starting. Do you mean the ready light comes on then goes off again?
    2
  8081. Some of the hybrid information will not be available
    2
  8082. You can
    2
  8083. Hi! 3 vents underneath the back seat have a mesh filter built into each of them.
    2
  8084. Hi David. A winter mileage drop is normal. What changes happened to the car? Maintenance repairs or tires?
    2
  8085. this is the location of the one vent. The other vent is exactly on the same location but on the opposite side https://ibb.co/LkZQ2fF
    2
  8086. The fan vent is underneath the back seat more towards the passenger side
    2
  8087. I am not very familiar with your model as it’s not sold in the us but usually around the back seat area
    2
  8088. Hi! They really have no effect on the car in a positive or negative way. Use them as you see fit to help make driving safer and more relaxing.
    2
  8089. Thank you for watching my channel! On your Prius C underneath the back seat on the drivers side you’ll see a round vent. Behind it is the filter for the high voltage battery fan.
    2
  8090. Exactly and that’s about 5 minutes max.
    2
  8091. Hi! I would follow that recommendation honestly. The highest I would go is 37 all around
    2
  8092. Hi! Try to avoid high pressure water on electrical connectors and dry everything up with compressed air
    2
  8093. Hi! I would install one that fits on the grille
    2
  8094. Hi! Depends which year. If it doesn’t have one you might want to install one
    2
  8095. Hi! That’s a bit high I would stick with the recommended tire pressure
    2
  8096. Hi! I would replace the oil control valve first. And get a fresh oil change at the same time and see if it still happens. If it does then likely a timing chain kit is needed.
    2
  8097. Hi! Here’s a video that’ll show you where and how to replace it https://youtu.be/U7mjpvRihVU
    2
  8098. Should be underneath the back seat.
    2
  8099. Hi! The high voltage battery can charge in park, but the engine will come on to charge it if needed.
    2
  8100. Both scenarios has its pros and cons. If you plan to keep the car 5 years or less a used one is better if planning to keep it 10 years and more I would buy new because then you can take care of it from day one and ensure it will last without issues.
    2
  8101. Hi! I would go to parts.Toyota.com and enter your vin and search for hv battery and you’ll find the price.
    2
  8102. Hi! AC on and start with 72 F and adjust from there
    2
  8103. The battery likely will not die from this single instance of sitting for a long time. Repeated long period storage will affect the longevity of the battery significantly but it won’t happen overnight and it happens over a long period of time.
    2
  8104. It’s underneath the back seat towards the passenger side
    2
  8105. Hi! Not very familiar with that model since it’s not sold in my area should be around the battery area
    2
  8106. You’ll need to have power to the electrical system. Otherwise it won’t come out of park
    2
  8107. Hi! 30 minutes or more. You need neutral to be able to push the car if needed
    2
  8108. It’s located on the back rest of the back seat on the side. Look inside the vent if you don’t see a filter then you don’t have one
    2
  8109. It’s located on the passenger side of the rear seat you’ll see a vent with a filter behind it
    2
  8110. Hi Mario! I would try any hard acceleration before 1500kms after that you can use sport mode as needed.
    2
  8111. Yes that’s ok.
    2
  8112. Hi! That’s normal with hybrids.
    2
  8113. Hi! I would check it monthly
    2
  8114. Hi! In cold weather if the engine starts as soon as you start it then give it a few minutes
    2
  8115. I would use normal first then experiment with the other modes to see where you can use them to suit your needs
    2
  8116. Michel García Gavilán Hi! So I doubt there’s something wrong with your car. Let’s review a few things. What tire brand do you have and I’m assuming you usually drive with the AC on?
    2
  8117. Hi! Should be underneath the back seat
    2
  8118. 36 is good. As long as you stay less than the max pressure on the tire when your tires are hot you’re good.
    2
  8119. Hi! Hybrids are very reliable when taken care of. Things will vary between countries. Some countries are still figuring hybrids out and people tend to shy away from the “unknown” but from the US experience they are very reliable if you take care of them and have a basic understanding on how they work and how they differ from regular gasoline cars
    2
  8120. Hi Arturo and thank you for your comment. Over inflating tires to at least 70-100 psi is something that’s more common than you’d think and it’s flat dangerous. And the manufacturer gives owners a manual to read and understand their car. It is not the manufacturers fault of the owner doesn’t learn about their car and effectively neglect it and then blame the manufacturer? It’s the same as not changing the engine oil at all because I never read the owners manual and I didn’t know.
    2
  8121. Hi! Should be underneath or directly behind the back seat
    2
  8122. Hi! Congratulations on your purchase. It will be underneath the back seat. There’s a door with a filter behind it
    2
  8123. Hi! The fan is located on the passenger side back seat between the door and the seat. I would install a filter for ease of cleaning.
    2
  8124. You will need a capable scan tool that likely advanced auto parts doesn’t have.
    2
  8125. Hi! You will need to get codes to see what’s going on
    2
  8126. Hi! It could be a water pump. I would get that checked.
    2
  8127. ygg drasil because the hybrid system is still on. The dc/dc converter is still supplying voltage and if your ac is on it’s still using the hv battery to power up.
    2
  8128. Hi! Email me for details.
    2
  8129. Hi! You’ll need to check trouble codes
    2
  8130. Hi! Not a good idea to pull a trailer with the Prius honestly
    2
  8131. It’s located underneath the back seat towards the passenger side. I’m in the process of filming how to replace the filter on the RAV4 and should be coming out in the near future
    2
  8132. There’s not really a tune up for your Prius just plugs at 120k
    2
  8133. Most non hybrid mechanics likely will not want to work on the hybrid system let alone try to replace individual cells.
    2
  8134. Unfortunately once you turn the key on it will already unlock the immobilizer and you can actually start the car.
    2
  8135. Hi! Thank you for the video suggestion. So you can leave the car on and lock the doors with the mechanical key.
    2
  8136. Hi! It’s underneath the back seat towards the passenger dife
    2
  8137. Hi! Should be underneath the seat on the drivers side look for a round vent
    2
  8138. The RAV4 and highlander doesn’t have the same ac function as the Prius.
    2
  8139. The battery is well protected unless you wash the inside of the car with high pressure water.
    2
  8140. Hi thank you for watching my videos! Prius v will have the vent underneath the passenger rear seat.
    2
  8141. Mph or kms? 86 is okay but the hybrid system efficiency starts to drop over 90 mph
    2
  8142. Hi! A one time deal is not an issue. Just don’t plan on this becoming the norm
    2
  8143. A small amp should be ok just nothing that would create a significant draw. As far as amperage there’s no figure published but it tries to match a small alternator.
    2
  8144. Underneath the back seat. Video coming up this week on how to replace and clean it
    2
  8145.  @mcigala1  On all cars regardless if it's hybrid or not running the A\C with an idling car for a very long time (more than 1 hour) is not recommended. By design the A\C system needs the air flow on the condenser. In extreme temperatures this escalates more. All modern Toyotas have a build in safety where it would shut off the A\C when pressures are extremely high. However extended idling will make pressures normally higher than normal and over time that puts a tremendous load on all related A\C components. On hybrids the A\C runs off of the HV battery, so having the A\C on will deplete the battery and that's by design. So it's normal for the engine to keep cycling on and off to charge the battery because the A\C depletes the battery at a higher rate.
    2
  8146. Hi! It’s hard to estimate how long it will last. But if the taxi driver took care of it it should last
    2
  8147. Hi! Underneath the back seat towards the passenger side. Video specific for it coming soon
    2
  8148. Hi rob. Honestly they initially were exactly the same because Ford and Toyota shared some technology so they are good. Today with the newer stuff I don’t know if they still use similar technology or how they are holding up
    2
  8149. I would start by replacing or machining the front rotors and see if that resolves it
    2
  8150. Underneath the back seat. You’ll see a vent with a filter behind it
    2
  8151. Underneath the back seat. Look for a slotted vent the filter is behind it
    2
  8152. No problem! No need for apologies! Have a wonderful day.
    2
  8153. Hi and thank you for your comment. I mentioned 90 miles per hour which is 145 km/h also your car is capable of doing speeds exceeding that however it will be highly inefficient and very long term driving like this could have negative effects on the hybrid system.
    2
  8154. Depends on the model but usually it’s around the back seat
    2
  8155. In this case it’s not equipped and the fan would need cleaning then a filter added. I’ll get one eventually and make a complete video
    2
  8156. Hi! So look behind the vent or inside the vent. If you see a fine mesh then it does have a filter and the side bolster would need to be removed to access it. It’s one of the harder ones to get to, I am actively looking for one to film with in the Chicago area
    2
  8157. Lakario Davis I’m glad no tires blew out on your car! Thank you for your comment! Have a wonderful weekend!
    2
  8158. Hi! That’s a cold start misfire. Many reasons like sticking EGR oil in the intake sticking throttle body or worse case scenario the start of a head gasket leak.
    2
  8159. The 2010-2015 Prius buying guide video is planned. Also a should you buy a hybrid Toyota video as well. Should be coming in on the next round within a few weeks.
    2
  8160. 2017 Camry hybrid uses a nickel-metal hydride battery.
    2
  8161. The hybrid systems in the Prius and the highlander function in the same way. The highlander is bigger and heavier so it gets less Mpg but still an impressive number when you look at the size of the car.
    2
  8162. Thank you! Greetings to you from the other side of the globe!
    2
  8163. Hi! Underneath the passenger back seat
    2
  8164. Hi! Start it and usually the gasoline engine will come on after a few seconds wait for a minute or two then you’re good to go
    2
  8165. It’s underneath the back seat on the passenger side
    2
  8166. After some driving you either hear it running or feel the air flow towards the vent
    2
  8167. Nitrous?? I hope you mean nitrogen and if that’s the case in my personal believe that’s the biggest gimmick I’ve ever seen.
    2
  8168. Heat shields are a thing with Toyota’s and rust. The 12volt battery on your Prius is so tiny it’s a wonder if it makes it past 5 years. Glad everyone is safe.
    2
  8169. You’re right I didn’t. I am actually quite fond of the corolla hybrid. I’m just not used to having a corolla hybrid since it’s so new
    2
  8170. Hi! If it doesn’t cover the vent for the battery you should be good
    2
  8171. They’re good cars just make sure you buy one that’s taken care with good maintenance history
    2
  8172. To push the car if you need to
    2
  8173. Hi! It is safe. Treat it as a non hybrid car when it comes to rust proofing.
    2
  8174. Hi! I reviewed a few scan tools that would work for your rav4 depending on your need.
    2
  8175. Yes it can be. Also check your filters
    2
  8176. I wish you the best man. Let’s hope it doesn’t happen again but if it does there’s a record of it and you should be covered.
    2
  8177. Hi! They’re not too bad if you have a lift or can lift the car up high. Definitely easier than the 2004-2006 with the precious engine
    2
  8178. Thank you for watching! I would need to hear the noise but if it’s bothering you I would bring it to the dealerships attention and have them inspect it
    2
  8179. Hi! Could be many things like struts strut mounts or sway bar links.
    2
  8180. Hi! The power steering whine could be from a lot of reasons but these cars can make a whine when they’re cold. Make sure you check the power steering system for leaks. If you find any perhaps negotiate the price a bit to compensate. These highlanders are very good cars. They do get oil leaks here and there from age and other than the power steering nothing would stop it driving from leaks. I think it’s realistic to get at least 200k out of it if not more with good maintenance.
    2
  8181. Hi! Just get power steering fluid from the parts store that’s compatible with Toyota
    2
  8182. Hi! The power steering pump can make a faint whining noise which I wouldn’t be concerned about as long as the fluid is clean and bled correctly.
    2
  8183. Hi! Do you have any warning lights? I would check the intermediate shaft for binding.
    2
  8184. Hi! I would check the ground going from the battery to the body of the car. Also codes would need to be pulled to see what’s going on
    2
  8185. Thank you for watching! So the power steering fluid doesn’t have an interval. What’s recommended in the industry is 50k/5 years but I would check the fluid if it’s getting dark replace it
    2
  8186. On Toyota models they would surprise you how reliable they are. I haven’t seen many issues with them even at high mileage
    2
  8187. Hi! If you are doing the work yourself I would try to replace the seal and boot and see how long it holds and go from there
    2
  8188. Hi! Could be the bushings on the rack. It could also be loose bearings. Lift the front up and check everything suspension and steerijg
    2
  8189. It does make for unstable driving so I would get them taken care of as soon as possible
    2
  8190. The bushing can go bad. And usually they don’t come separate
    2
  8191. Hi! Check the tie rods and mounting for the rack
    2
  8192. Hi Phil! How are you doing? Thank you for your suggestions! In the works is a series about o2 sensors catalytic converters and diagnosis. If you need any help with a DIY project you’re working on email I’ll be more than happy to assist. As I get cars to work on at home I’ll film diy tips.
    2
  8193. Thank you for watching my video. You can use Dex atf. I would however use any fluid labeled as power steering as it has a specific additive package for power steering. At the dealership they usually use generic power steering fluid that’s compatible.
    2
  8194. You can but personally I wouldn’t use used parts
    2
  8195. Glad I could help. I think the turanzas should be ok they’re usually not heavy. Do let me know how it goes I’m curious. I would put the lack of knowledge of the filter on Toyota for not including it in the maintenance schedule and the selling dealership for not bringing it to your attention. Best wishes and best of luck with your awesome Prius prime!
    2
  8196. Hi! The battery is in the back of the car. Should be passenger side
    2
  8197. The higher the speed the more load on the battery in a nut shell. That’s why hybrids typically get better gas mileage in city vs highest.
    2
  8198. Hi! I would honestly use the range immediately after take off. Efficiency wise it’s the same however overtime the battery life will be extended and you won’t start loosing range because of battery degradation
    2
  8199. The language is very vague from Toyota in their text about charging stations on my side. However there’s a a charge interruption circuit in place designed to prevent issues when charging. I doubt that you are able to cause damage by having an incorrect charger because the on board computer would simply no accept the charging method. Regarding the battery sizes I am not sure why they went with it this way. That’s the marketing department as the cars can be equipped with either battery.
    2
  8200. If you have the 3.3kw battery charger which is standard on the se it will charge on 240V 16A max to achieve full charge in about 4 and a half. If you have the optional 6.6kw battery charger which is an option on the xse trim you can use a 240v 32A max for a 2 and a half charge time
    2
  8201. If you keep doing this how long is the gas going to last in your tank? Keep driving 200kms then have the engine run for a very short period of time and then you never run it out of charge where it uses the engine. That’s harder on the older plugin Prius due to its shorter range. A lot of folks are hung up on this point. The idea here is you shouldn’t treat your prime like a Tesla. Remember that you have a gasoline engine that needs using too!
    2
  8202. Hi! It will be better only if 87 in your area has ethanol. If it doesn’t then I would use 87
    2
  8203. Thank you so much for your comment and topic suggestion! The car software is not one. Each individual module will have its dedicated software. Entertainment updates can be updated over the air or manually via USB. The update process for a module involves using techstream which is the official Toyota scan tool. In certain cases some components has to be disabled in order to perform certain updates example is some update processes will cause the cooling fan to go off so we have to disable it. The battery voltage must be maintained and if the battery voltage drops to a certain threshold the update could be interrupted and in some cases bricks the module being updated. Most updates are short as the cars network is pretty fast but some modules are very slow and updates could take up to 4 hours. Update files for all modules are strictly available to dealerships through TIS( Toyota information system) and these files are protected and sharing them is not allowed on our side. Manual entertainment updates are done through the radio. Once you load the software update file and you plug the usb drive to the car it recognizes the update and prompts to update. Over the air updates are not 100% yet as we still see cars that say no over the air update available yet there’s an update that can be done manually. Also as far as release noted they work a bit different. We get a list of symptoms that the software update will fix.
    2
  8204. Anytime really is good to use charge mode. Your engine will run all the time. Perhaps on the highway or at steady speeds is good as you won’t feel or hear the engine as much.
    2
  8205. The prime models are really good. But using them as an EV car only is not recommended. If you have a long commute they make more sense as most of your commute will be electric range.
    2
  8206. The prime has an onboard charger to get you electric only range. Once that range is depleted it turns into a regular hybrid where it can charge the battery to keep the hybrid operation going
    2
  8207.  @ilovebohol  Agreed! It's kinda of a hassle to drain the generator when not in use and then put gas when you need it? Kinda defeats the purpose of having it I would think. In a car though it's easier since it moves.
    2
  8208. On a conventional hybrid no I would say it’s not needed. On the prime models I personally would that’s why I recommend it to others.
    2
  8209. Personally I'm not very fond of gas stabilizer for automotive applications however it could work.
    2
  8210. I hear you on my the sales man part. They gotta do their job but the good thing is it’s a few hours of that then long years of good service from a good car!
    2
  8211. That will help a lot however I would still not keep your gas long in the tank. The max according to Toyota is 12 months.
    2
  8212. Hi! If you use the parking brake it shouldn’t be an issue to park on a hill
    2
  8213. Agreed 100%. Very good suggestion for prime owners.
    2
  8214. Hi! They don’t but they do have an EV ratio so you know how many miles driven using the gasoline engine or at least hybrid mode
    2
  8215. Hi! There’s no dealer kit for that and you’d have to get individual bulbs.
    2
  8216. Hi! I would charge it and use EV on the way to work which you’ll make or almost make then on the way back drive hybrid mode
    2
  8217. Hi! If it’s not a reoccurring storage you are good. If the car is regularly driven other than these 2 months that’s ok as well. If the car sits every 2 months for 3-4 months then that’s not good. Don’t worry when you get back give it a good drive both city and highway and everything will be good
    2
  8218. Leaving it at half charge is good. I would use up the whole range before charging it again
    2
  8219. Hi! File a police report and call your insurance
    2
  8220. Hi! It is a good car to buy
    2
  8221. It has a metal timing chain
    2
  8222. nelio SAMch they will sold in Chicago. Big waiting list and short supply so far. Things should get better in October. Which part of Illinois?
    2
  8223. Thank you for your comment Russel! The RAV4 prime I think is the coolest new car to come to Toyota land in these times! For the full charge, for the purposes of my video I meant full allowed charge not actual 100% charge. I agree with you 100% on the RAV4 prime being smarter than the prius prime. This may upset some prius prime owners and that’s not my intent. The RAV4 prime advancement has a lot to do with the Prius Prime. I’m sure when a new Prius prime model comes out it will be more advanced than the RAV4 prime due to time of release. Question regarding the 27 mile engine start. Is it consistent? Also did you try to drive less than 27 mile in one drive then continue the following day?
    2
  8224. Hi! The battery is very well protected underneath I wouldn’t worry.
    2
  8225. Hi! If you have properly insulated outlet outside it should be ok. And the tires will be marked. Likely winter tires won’t have low rolling resistance so you’ll sacrifice a bit in fuel economy
    2
  8226. Richard Joash Tan its a nice suv! I’m sure you will love it! Congratulations in advance.
    2
  8227.  @MetaView7  I do not have that information. Perhaps someone who's reading comments have tried to run a test and found out and can provide information on this.
    2
  8228. If you deplete the battery charge on EV mode your Prime will switch to a conventional hybrid model which will essentially run until your gas tank is completely empty. You can charge the battery in Charge mode but the fastest way to achieve a good EV range is to plug the car into an outlet.
    2
  8229. Cool stuff I love in the US so I’m not sure how different things are in Canada. But the US price for the RAV4 prime battery as the date of this comment is $18,455 USD!
    2
  8230. Hi! You can clean it per Toyota and replace it it’s worn
    2
  8231. It should have regardless. If you look behind the hood release you’ll see a cover with the fuse diagram on it. It’s a bit hard to get to as you need to lean under the dash and look up behind the hood release
    2
  8232. Hi it will not
    2
  8233. I really like the new corolla hybrid. One of my favorite hybrids actually.
    2
  8234. As far as I’m aware there no filter for the on board charger just the battery. Let me investigate
    2
  8235. What model hybrid do you have?
    2
  8236. Thank you Angelina! The Prius prime is an awesome car. It seems like every new generation Prius that comes out they are more and more dependable given how complicated they are! Good luck with your prime purchase!
    2
  8237. Yes the air conditioning works well with EV mode.
    2
  8238. Hi! If the impact did not intrude on the inside I wouldn’t worry. If the back hatch opens and closes normally and no panels inside are pushed in I wouldn’t worry.
    2
  8239. Hi! They have a very similar platform and powertrain. Other than the cosmetics they should be very similar
    2
  8240. Not really unless you take a sample and inspect it. I would just run the gas very low when you get it. And then fill it up with fresh gas to be on the safe side and not have doubts about it
    2
  8241. Hi! Depends on the market for the RAV4 some do some don’t. The NIMH battery is managed well to minimize the memory effect
    2
  8242. Hi! This is an excellent question! So if you own either PRIME your owner's manual language will advise you to add at least 5.3 Gallons of new gas every 12 months. Basically rendering your warranty for this matter up to 12 months. After the 12 months any issues that occur due to stale gas are out of warranty because of this small notice in the owner's manual( RAV4 PRIME page 91. Prius Prime page 96 under notice about fuel. Knowing how awesome of a company Toyota is they will likely help in some way at the first occurrence, However after that I wouldn't count on much help for a repeated issue. Best is to avoid this whole thing by simply using the gas over a long period or just fill it half tank or less at a time so using it wouldn't take long.
    2
  8243. Already added to the list! Thank you for this awesome topic suggestion Ahmad!
    2
  8244. Ahmad Ghosheh that’s a really good question. Just like any other car if it’s been well maintained it should last long. With hybrids I would absolutely stay away from 1st gen Prius and even early 2nd gens. Avoid early Camry hybrids also. Everything else as long as it’s well maintained i wouldn’t hesitate to buy one. People seem to be hung up on the high voltage battery and forgetting the rest of the car which if neglected can easily out cost the high voltage battery.
    2
  8245. You can do that and some folks are using stabil
    2
  8246. It will be ok but kinda of negates the high price you paid to buy it. On the RAV4 prime you can use charge mode to charge the battery
    2
  8247. Agreed. I hope in the near future it is addressed since it’s a very simple solution to a problem that could get big
    2
  8248.  @rnordquest  on the Prius prime there's air cooling only. On the RAV4 Prime the battery can be cooled with the refrigerant from the air conditioning system in addition to air cooled. Charging your battery under direct sun light is not recommended.
    2
  8249. Thank you for watching my videos!
    2
  8250. It is but your gas mileage does decrease while you are using it
    2
  8251. Hi! What year is this Prius? Did they check for a customer support program that could cover this?
    2
  8252. It does. But keeping the battery constantly at that max allowable limit is also not good long term.
    2
  8253. Hi! It won’t as the engine won’t rev up immediately
    2
  8254. Emotionengne if I remember correctly the hatch was around 2500 bucks for the Prius prime and the battery is coming up around 9800
    2
  8255. Thank you for watching my video! So as far as I know GAP insurance is offered by the selling dealership and they typically roll the cost of the gap insurance into the purchase price. It’s not something super expensive but I’d say worth it if not putting a large down payment for any car.
    2
  8256. Likely the Prius not the prime because of the added weight of the prime. But if you utilize the primes EV range you’ll get better mileage combined.
    2
  8257. Hi! You can buy the prime and not use the electric range however a normal Prius would make more financial sense in your case
    2
  8258. Phil Indeblanc lol it’s actually short for my real name! Can’t stay anonymous when my face is there 😂 best of luck my brother! I have a video for the WS fluid if you haven’t seen it and the rear brakes when you take the wheel off the parking brake cable will come out from the back side and once you take the rotor off you’ll see the parking brake shoes. Not much needed to do there just give them a good cleaning with some brake clean. They self adjust every time you reverse so you’re all good.
    2
  8259. While I cannot speak for other makes of plug in hybrids but I can imagine most of the items on this list are similar and do apply to other models. I'm glad you found this video helpful! Thank you for your comment!
    2
  8260. Any speed in charge mode is good. You can drive as much as you need knowing that your gas mileage will decrease.
    2
  8261. The battery is well covered similar to the fuel tank making the bottom almost flat. However if you have say a very big rock hit the specific area where the battery is housed damage is possible. It's not useless off-road however extreme off-roading which in any RAV4 might not be possible could be an issue. But for normal driving and light off-roading there shouldn't be issues.
    2
  8262. James Klafehn I saw it! Incredible man. Keep up the good work on the videos!
    2
  8263. James Klafehn I watched that video at normal speed! Even though you failed 😠 😂 but it was very interesting at the end. Usually running hybrids out of fuel sets some codes and ready off and good night. The prime is interesting. Try unplugging the fuel pump maybe and see what happens?
    2
  8264. There are certain driving conditions which will force the engine on even if you have EV charge but if your driving doesn’t meet these conditions then you might not have the engine come on. That is not the case for you but has been the case for others
    2
  8265. On toyota plug ins it doesn’t really matter as you can’t fast charge the battery it’s capped by the onboard charger. And not charging the battery wouldn’t affect the life of the battery but also makes the purchase not make sense since you’re not utilizing the EV range might as well buy a normal hybrid
    2
  8266. Hi! I really have no experience with Hyundai’s but i would definitely wait a bit before buying one.
    2
  8267. Honestly they likely did that for fuel mileage but that engine is designed for 0w20 so you can use it without issues unlike the new engine
    2
  8268. Hi Michele! The defenders are great tires but your gas mileage might drop very slightly. If you are ok with that they’re actually very smooth rolling tires and last a long time.
    2
  8269. Glad I could help! Toyota Hybrids are really good cars when taken care of!
    2
  8270. @Bass4Zero Thank you for your comment! I hear you on the range typical of Toyota to play things on the safe side. People will be happier to know it could have a longer range than them exaggerating the range and people find out it’s less! Regarding the charging I agree with your driving conditions. You can get a different charger to decrease your charge time if needed. The days you don’t have the same drive don’t worry about. If every 2-3 weeks you won’t have a driving day then I wouldn’t worry. If it’s a reoccurring day I would program it once and be done with it. Of course life happens and things change but the concept is you want to program your known departure time. If things deviate from them occasionally that’s no problem! Very sweet car you got there one that Toyota is very proud of and they should! I don’t mind Tesla’s but I’m old school and always like to have a gasoline backup and I think this is the answer! Enjoy your car and I hope it lasts for a very long time without any issues. Knowing it’s a Toyota the latter is very likely 😀
    2
  8271. Thank you! It is in the southwest suburbs
    2
  8272. I’ll announce the exact location as we get closer. It’s in southwest Chicago suburbs
    2
  8273. Hi! Normally they can’t sell a new car that has an open recall on it. Likely they’ll need to wait for it to be completed but I would contact your dealership and verify as laws vary by state.
    2
  8274. I likely will not only because they’re hard to come by. I will hold them to a very high standard. Initially I’ll work on my own and see how it goes
    2
  8275. Hi! Southwest Chicago suburbs
    2
  8276. Hi! Any issues with the AHB are likely linked to a front recognition camera issue
    2
  8277. Absolutely. Stay tuned for future videos on the shop as I’ll eventually announce the appointment system
    2
  8278. I’ll share it once we get closer to opening. Southwest suburbs
    2
  8279. Hi! Honestly depends on your budget but in the current market I’d buy new
    2
  8280. Thank you! Southwest Chicago suburbs
    2
  8281. Hi! I’ll continue to work on Toyotas at the shop. And no one at this point maybe in the future
    2
  8282. Chicago southwest suburbs
    2
  8283. Thank you for the advice. I’ll look into it.
    2
  8284. I’m still at the dealership now but once the shop opens I’ll dedicate to it
    2
  8285. Hi! I’ll detail it in upcoming videos for the shop as we get closer to opening
    2
  8286. Yes, until the shop is ready I will still be there.
    2
  8287. 😂 you got it!
    2
  8288. Southwest Chicago suburbs. I’ll announce where when the shop is close to opening
    2
  8289. Thank you! Very valuable information. Keeping noise pollution down is important for me and this information helps. Thank you!
    2
  8290. Thank you! Yes I do. I speak Arabic and Spanish as well
    2
  8291. 😂 I still work at the dealership today. Won’t leave until the shop is ready to open
    2
  8292. Hi! Yes that’s correct it needs to set the monitors before an emissions test
    2
  8293. Southwest suburbs. I’ll announce things as we get closer
    2
  8294. Thank you! It can! It’s almost a 5” slab that’s rated for this kind of use pressure wise
    2
  8295. Thank you! Not yet. Will wait for the shop to be done and we can open
    2
  8296. Thank you Sir!

  8297. Hi! Southwest suburbs. I’ll announce where when we’re ready to open
    2
  8298. Thank you! I’ll still work at the dealership until the shop is done and ready to open
    2
  8299. Hi! When we get closer to opening I’ll share the details on how to make an appointment which will be either online on the website, by email or by phone and if you’re local in person
    2
  8300. Southwest Chicago suburbs. I’ll announce it once we get closer to opening
    2
  8301. One large rotary screw compressor
    2
  8302. Hi! Initially i will be the only mechanic and yes I work on electrics and hybrids
    2
  8303. I would go for the coupe and I’m leaning towards red
    2
  8304. Hi! You can do both without issues. Putting the car in neutral for up to 5 minutes at a time shouldn’t be an issue
    2
  8305. Hi! They’ll take the fuel pull assembly which is the whole housing. Only replace the pump and o rings around it. Then replace the o ring for the fuel pump housing to the tank and the lock ring
    2
  8306. Hi! Slightly different tuning
    2
  8307. Hi! The vibration is a known thing with the heat pump. It might be a normal characteristic as many has asked about it and there’s no official response to it
    2
  8308. It’s difficult with this one
    2
  8309. Hi! I would get regular tire and have the inflate kit. Otherwise get a spare tire and leave it in the back for long trips. Not ideal but better than nothing
    2
  8310. Hi! The seats were better on the NX and the ride was harsher than a non F sport but not too bad
    2
  8311. Hi! It shouldn’t but I don’t advise it. The sound is annoying but it’s there for good reason
    2
  8312. Yes but I think it’s a nice SUV overall. It’s not just a RAV4 prime with nicer leather seats. It feels different completely
    2
  8313. Hi! Cat shield makes good covers to protect them
    2
  8314. Hi! I wish I could but they’re not available in the US
    2
  8315. Hi! Level sensor for the headlights
    2
  8316. Hi my brother. I’m doing well and hope that you are doing well as well. Don’t spray direct high pressure at electrical connectors and best is to wet everything down and use a brush to agitate dirt then a quick rinse and dry it with compressed air if possible
    2
  8317. It depends. The RAV4 prime cost and range wise is better. The NX is more luxurious and quieter and has better tech. If the advantage of the NX justifies the price difference for you then it’s worth it. Otherwise you’ll be happy with the RAV4 prime
    2
  8318. Hi! You can switch in this case
    2
  8319. we're looking into this. nothing have changed editing wise but still we'll see what we can do to improve audio levels. thank you..
    2
  8320. Sorry I meant wouldn’t 😀
    2
  8321. I would assume they are direct fit. Likely if anything it’s different dampening and spring rate. I would not recommend aftermarket as they seem to make things worse not better. Shop around and read reviews before buying aftermarket and keep your originals in case you don’t like them you can go back
    2
  8322. You can’t go wrong with the Avalon. The q50 might drive nicer but the Avalon is a lot more reliable.
    2
  8323. Hi! Search for TSB 0039-13
    2
  8324. Hi! Likely air pockets or something to do with bleeding. Have it checked as soon as possible
    2
  8325. Thank you! I really appreciate it!
    2
  8326. Hi! Not as common in the 2nd generation
    2
  8327. Hi! I am still looking for an Avalon hybrid to film with in the Chicago area. No luck with volunteers yet
    2
  8328. Hi! The 2019 model is actually very good.
    2
  8329. Hi! I would replace the fluid at this time. Could resolve the small issues you’re noticing. If not have the transmission memory reset
    2
  8330. Hi! I think that’s a good price. Asking for service records or talking to a Toyota dealership if it’s been maintained there will tell you about maintenance history
    2
  8331. They’re reliable as long as they’re taken care of. Power steering leaks and occasional head gasket leaks are likely the worst thing in the 2011 Avalon model
    2
  8332. Hi! An aftermarket head unit with apple car play. You’ll loose some of the customizations to the car settings that are through the radio
    2
  8333. Maintenance history is first. Then the general condition leaks tires brakes accidents....etc
    2
  8334. Hi! Not sure what your question is but I don’t ship cars
    2
  8335. Hi! It would be harsher than your es330. Go with a 2016-2018 and it’ll be closer to it
    2
  8336. Hi! At this age and mileage the battery should be good. I would ask for maintenance records and make sure the car is taken care of
    2
  8337. Hi! They don’t use the same engine on the newer model Avalon. And as far as oil consumption they’re too new to know if you own one I highly recommend you stick with 5k or 6 month oil changes.
    2
  8338. 250mA is high. Something is draining that battery. It would need diagnosis to track down the cause.
    2
  8339. So I would start by getting codes before anything. Know anyone with a good scan tool that can read hybrid codes? Because without codes we’re going at this blind and might end up missing what’s going on with it
    2
  8340. Hi! The 2016 Avalon does not have start stop. And brake hold started in 2019
    2
  8341. Hi! The first models and later ones have similar pre collision system. What was the source that said one was worse than the other?
    2
  8342. If it’s in good shape and has been well maintained then yes I think that’s a good deal
    2
  8343. Hi! They’re identical cars underneath and the cost of ownership would be very similar
    2
  8344. I believe their question was referring to the hybrid high voltage battery. The 12v battery has a drain over time like you mentioned and can be disconnected to prevent that drain.
    2
  8345. Thank you for watching my video. Everytime you turn off your car the battery is effectively disconnected.
    2
  8346. Hi! You can switch between modes as you drive without issues.
    2
  8347. Hi! Background music is not there in newer videos per feedback from viewers
    2
  8348. Yes it’s the same issue
    2
  8349. I would erase it and see if it comes back before looking into it
    2
  8350. Hi! The 8 speed is alright not impressive but reliability wise it’s not bad. I would rent a Camry for a few days and see how you feel about the 8 speed transmission. Both are nice cars and reliable. The Avalon is more comfortable but floaty. The Camry is less floaty and also lower to the ground
    2
  8351. I would just ask them to reset the transmission memory. They could ask why then explain to them the situation.
    2
  8352. Ok so the transmission memory reset would require a Toyota scan tool or a capable professional grade aftermarket scan tool. For a one time deal I would take it to the dealership and have them reset the memory as these tools are expensive
    2
  8353. Hi! Depending on the connectivity issues. What is it doing?
    2
  8354. It’s metric thread and you’ll need to measure it. Most likely 1.25 thread pitch. My guess would be 8x1.25 but double check it to be sure
    2
  8355. Hi! You’ll need to carefully tap it. If not replace the valve cover as that’s a pressure line
    2
  8356. That funnel thing is not a great design! They should’ve let the hose run outside the car. Same thing with 2008-2013 highlanders
    2
  8357. Replace and start the car again. Check for leaks and repair if any
    2
  8358. Hi! Some models including your highlander has that "funnel" design where it can get clogged too. those you'll easily see them with the water test. you'll run the water and nothing will come out.
    2
  8359. Hi! Honestly I like the ChR reliability wise. The looks are not for everyone. Seats can be uncomfortable for some. The rear door handles are hard to reach if you have children
    2
  8360. Hi! No maintenance is needed. Don’t operate it in freezing temps.
    2
  8361. Hi! If water is draining fast and well. You don’t need the cleaning.
    2
  8362. Hi! If you believe there are leaves there it wouldn’t be a bad idea to take it out and clean the area
    2
  8363. Yes that is a good idea.
    2
  8364. Hi! It doesn’t have drains. It drains directly on the windows
    2
  8365. Hi! For the sun roof? If it is do you have a panoramic sunroofv
    2
  8366. If memory serves right those don’t have drains
    2
  8367. Depending on the model most of them don’t have drains
    2
  8368. Hi! Use the same tool in this video or compressed air works ok just make sure after you’re done to pull the carpet slightly and make sure the drain didn’t come off
    2
  8369. You can use compressed air just make sure that the hose doesn’t come off the ac box which is right behind the carpet on the passenger floor on most models
    2
  8370. Hi! The engine in your avalon is not direct injected it’s port injection only
    2
  8371. Thecarcarenut@gmail.com
    2
  8372. I can help. Email me with the subject Chicago service request
    2
  8373. Honestly I wouldn’t leave it off. It’s there for a reason and that is to support the plenum.
    2
  8374. It’s likely loose or rattling against another surface. You’ll need to insulate the are where it’s rattling against
    2
  8375. Hi! Most toyota panoramic sunroofs don’t have mainrbanCe
    2
  8376. Hi! If you wipe it down and use water and soap in a spray bottle you can actually keep it pretty clean without using a pressure washer or a garden hose
    2
  8377. What model is it? Let me see if I find one here
    2
  8378. Hi! Doubt I’ve take one of these out. Do you have a picture you can share so I can see the shape of the screw head?
    2
  8379. on the trunk just vacuum the leaves out from around the seals.
    2
  8380. Sunroofs and moonroofs are almost the same. One has a glass and one doesn't just a solid piece of metal but they both operate the same and have the same drains
    2
  8381. I’m sorry to hear that. It’s a simple repair especially under warranty as it’s a known issue
    2
  8382. After an oil change is normal on most vvti engines and not the same as the issue rattle
    2
  8383. Thank you!
    2
  8384. Still here. We’re making slow progress on it. We’ll make a video when it’s done
    2
  8385. Thank you for sharing good to know. So the reference we are using here are for a fine human hair. Have a good weekend 😊
    2
  8386. Hi! If it has good maintenance history that’s a good model to but
    2
  8387. Hi! Your key fob to lock unlock…etc will work. Your remote start won’t after the trail ends which is either 3 or 10 years
    2
  8388. Hi! Honestly we don’t have that engine in my area so I don’t have a lot of experience with it. But generally with turbo engines maintenance is key to prolong their life
    2
  8389. Hi! Email me with the subject Chicago service request
    2
  8390. The problem with quick struts is usually the spring is wrong and changes the way the car feels
    2
  8391. Hi! Honestly trial and error. Talk to the advisor and eventually talk to the mechanic directly. You’ll get to know them a bit and you’ll be able to tell
    2
  8392. Hi! I would be able to. Email me with the subject Chicago service request
    2
  8393. Hi! If you opened the drain when you’re at 98 and got to a trickle you’re fluid level is correct
    2
  8394. Hi! So it’s not the same procedure. It’s actually much simpler. I’m working on a video that will come in the next few weeks on that
    2
  8395. Yes just using Toyota CVt fluid every 60k or 6 years
    2
  8396. Yes it need to be level
    2
  8397. Other than the transmission fluid do an oil change and inspect the car. Brakes tires suspension and leaks.
    2
  8398. That model has a timing chain that doesn’t need service or replacement
    2
  8399. I would replace the transmission fluid if it hasn’t been done
    2
  8400. I think it is. That’s a very good car
    2
  8401. Hi! Yes it does
    2
  8402. I would wait until 60k or 6 years. If you want to change it earlier no harm in doing so as well. But you can safely go to 60k or 6 years without any issues. I wouldn’t worry about the filter as on Toyota’s they’re not commonly replaced.
    2
  8403. Hi! The transmission in this car is a U760 as well. The Awd variant of this transmission is exactly the same just has provisions for the transfer case to connect to it
    2
  8404. Hi! At this point I would leave it alone honestly.
    2
  8405. Yes as long as they are not hybrid.
    2
  8406. Hi! A flush replaces more fluid and if your mileage is around 60k it should be ok to flush. This does apply to your 4runner and in the next few weeks I’ll have a similar video dedicated to the 4runner
    2
  8407. Yes the car needs to be running in park
    2
  8408. Hi! If the fluid is changed on time you don’t need to change the filter
    2
  8409. Hi! Your Camry doesn’t have a cooler bypass. Only some sienna, highlander and RX models have them
    2
  8410. On hybrids no not much. The difference in fluid level is minimal and it’s a splash system so you’re good.
    2
  8411. Hi! I wouldn’t take risks with other fluids. Use the original fluid and it’s 100% guaranteed to be compatible
    2
  8412. https://youtube.com/c/FordTechMakuloco
    2
  8413. This will work on 2011 Camry. You can do that but how do you know the level was right to begin with? I say if you did the drain and fill why not spend another 10 minutes and check the level
    2
  8414. Hi! Honestly you’d want to kind of eye ball it and see if it’s level. You can place a level in the middle of the wheelbase between the wheels on the car to see how level it is and try to get it as close to level as possible. Maybe change the length of the jack stand to compensate for the non level floor or find a different location that is level.
    2
  8415. Glad I could help!
    2
  8416. Hi! Yes this procedure applies to your Lexus. Thank you for watching abs subscribing
    2
  8417. Hi! Check the engine oil level first in case. Then you’ll need to basically drain the oil and start over with this procedure
    2
  8418. Hi Eric! For the hybrid transmission I would recommend fluid replacement between 60-90k using Toyota WS ATF
    2
  8419. The fluid you replace from a drain and fill is enough to refresh the additive package and keep things protected.
    2
  8420. Hi! There’s no bypass for your Camry
    2
  8421. Hi! Level doesn’t have to be exactly 100%. The idea of level is visual. For example you don’t want the front of the car on jack stands and the back on the floor. You also don’t want to jack the car when it’s on a steep inclined driveway for example. A relatively flat floor with 4 jack stands should be good
    2
  8422. I wouldn’t as the gain is not really worth the effort. The filter rarely gets dirty on Toyota’s
    2
  8423. Doing the drain and fill once is enough to replenish the additive package.
    2
  8424. Hi! This works if the fluid level was right to begin with. And you’d b surprised how many are not. Do the procedure correctly and double check the fluid.
    2
  8425. Even easier with a scan tool as you’ll just wait for the temperature to get in the range and you adjust it
    2
  8426. Hi Kent. So I am good with measuring and adding the same amount however you’d be surprised how many are not at the correct level even from the factory. I’d say if you did all the work of draining measuring and refilling why not spend a bit more time and check the level and be 100% sure without doubts that it’s accurate and good.
    2
  8427. At 95-113
    2
  8428. Hi! In park idling
    2
  8429. Hi Jake! I would drain and fill it cold. This will help when setting the fluid level as it’ll give you plenty of time before going over the temperature limit.
    2
  8430. Thank you. There are two transmission options here. If you have a AB60F then it’s 99-111 if you have the A760F it’s 127-138 you can check which transmission you have on the door jamb sticker
    2
  8431. Hi! Thank you for watching my channel! The dealership has a special tool that allows for fluid level check at operating temperature. Every dealership should have it so they won’t have to hold the car to check the fluid level.
    2
  8432. I would definitely leave it alone
    2
  8433. Hi! 95-114 on both
    2
  8434. Put the shifter in park
    2
  8435. Hi! 95-113
    2
  8436. On your hybrid transmission for your Prius C the procedure is different and even simpler. Drain the fluid and fill it until it overflows and you’re good to go. I would replace it every 60k-90k on your hybrid priuc C
    2
  8437. Hi! Thank you for watching my channel. The CVT transmission in your hybrid is not really a conventional CVT. Its called eCVT it operates in theory like a CVt but not even close to a conventional cvt. And they are very reliable a lot more reliable than even automatic transmissions and regular cvts. Here’s a series on how hybrids work which includes the transmission that will help with more information. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeFzfl0Q8rQUgJLQheNbttBtKT6iSOX4D
    2
  8438. Hi! 95-113
    2
  8439. Every 60k miles or 6 years
    2
  8440. Hi! Every 60-90k miles or 6-9 years.
    2
  8441. You can but if you did all that I would go ahead and check the level and be sure
    2
  8442. Hi! Drain and fill is safer in this case
    2
  8443. Hi david! I hear you. I’ll have to look it up in the parts catalog. You can look up parts on parts.Toyota.com using your vin number. Search for apron cover
    2
  8444. The last front wheel drive model that had a separate differential fluid was 90s and very early 2000s. Camry models from 2002 till now is the same with the shared fluid.
    2
  8445. Hi! This process works for your RAV4 temp range is 95-113
    2
  8446. Honestly I have seen many cars with well over 300k with the original filter and they’re good. If you want to replace your fluid I would just do a drain and fill one time and follow it again after 30k don’t do flushes at this mileage
    2
  8447. Hi! The filter is not normally replaced on Toyota transmissions and can last the life of the transmission if the fluid is replaced on time. The fill plug can be installed or off when checking the fluid level. I would leave it loose in case you need to add
    2
  8448. Hi brother! It is an old school myth. If the transmission flush is done right using the right fluid and followed by a fluid level check it’s not an issue at all. Fluid changes drain and fill or flush is not good on transmissions with very high mileage on original fluid.
    2
  8449. Hi! Every 60k miles or 6 years
    2
  8450. Hi! That’s an issue with the valvematic actuator. Not a simple diagnosis and it starts with a few tests and calibrations to confirm.
    2
  8451. That would work my only issue is how would you know if the fluid level was right to begin with? If you’re going through the draining and filling might as well go a little bit further and check the level to be 100% sure everything is good
    2
  8452. Hi! Not much difference on your 17 highlander other than the cooler bypass. The drain will be a 10mm hex and then use a 6mm hex inside the drain to remove the overflow tube. Otherwise it’s exactly the same
    2
  8453. Hi! The 2013-2018 RAV4 transmission is exactly the same transmission in this video. 2019 and up is the 8 speed which is also the same procedure.
    2
  8454. Hi! I would drain and fill at this mileage
    2
  8455. Hi neighbor! Thank you for watching my channel. Yes the procedure should work for your Lexus
    2
  8456. Hi! 95-113
    2
  8457. Hi! 104-113 F
    2
  8458. Hi joe. Check fuses staring under the hood and then inside the car. You’ll want to mainly focus on the efi fuses. Also when you turn the key on where all the lights come up does the check engine light come on?
    2
  8459. Car needs to be running in park
    2
  8460. Hi! When the indicator comes on put thr car in park
    2
  8461. Hi! Yes you can
    2
  8462. That’s right on the edge of where I’m comfortable changing it honestly. If it’s shifting ok I would let it go
    2
  8463. If you are 100% sure the level was right to begin with then sure. But if you did all the work why not do the job right and check the fluid level?
    2
  8464. No cooler bypass on the 19 camry
    2
  8465. Hi! 95-113
    2
  8466. Hi! Honestly at this point I would leave it alone.
    2
  8467. Hi! So it was likely overfilled. Drive it for a week then double check the fluid level to be sure. For the drain plug it’s 37ft lbs for the fill plug it’s 36 ft lbs
    2
  8468. Hello! Hope you’re having a good day! You are one of the people I thought off when filming this video being one of the first to request it! I recommend you practice the procedure before actually draining the oil. That way you’re familiar with it and can do it quickly. Usually you have about 5 minutes give or take of work time once it reaches the temperature. If nothing comes out when you’re at the adjustment temperature keep adding fluid until you see it come out of the drain plug. The reason I recommend you recheck the fluid level after a short time is to make sure that while you were adjusting you didn’t cross the temperature limit. It helps to have a helper to tell you when the light start flashing so you can abort and let it cool down before continuing. It helps tremendously if you start with the transmission that sat overnight.
    2
  8469. Hi! It’s made by quick jack. Here’s a review I did with relative information on it https://youtu.be/XWx9NAXzS8w
    2
  8470. That is correct
    2
  8471. Older cars in my definition start around 10 years old and older so you’re good.
    2
  8472. Hi! Usually around 2-4 is all you need.
    2
  8473. Hi! You’ll need to pull the jumper and leave it in park and wait until it warms up
    2
  8474. Hi! From the sub frame if you find a good spot
    2
  8475. You’re good. Just change the fluid and again every 60k miles and you won’t have to worry about the filyer
    2
  8476. Hi! I wouldn’t change the filter. If you change the fluid on time you don’t have to worry about the filter
    2
  8477. I honestly would trust Toyota on this one. I’ve seen some pretty radical mileage already on the newer tundras with towing and not a single transmission issue or failure.
    2
  8478. I would still check the level. You’d be surprised 😉
    2
  8479. Hi! You could but how do you know if the fluid level was right to begin with? I’d say if you’re going through the trouble of draining and filling why not just check the fluid level and do the job right?
    2
  8480. Hi! This works for your scion and if memory serves right it’s most likely the D light
    2
  8481. 95-113
    2
  8482. Hi! Yes it’s exactly the same
    2
  8483. Yes
    2
  8484. Hi! Very timely question! The video you requested comes out tomorrow.
    2
  8485. This procedure applies to your car just use CVT fluid from Toyota
    2
  8486. Hi! It is the same for your 15 sienna
    2
  8487. It’s a lot more accurate than the infrared thermometer and I trust it more.
    2
  8488. That’s a hard one to guess it all depends on how long did the trans sit and how long you let it drain. I’d say in most cases you won’t need more than 3-5 quarts. Be on the safe side and have 5 quarts per car. If you didn’t use some, leave it for the next. And remember you can always save the fluid if unopened.
    2
  8489. You could do that but I think if you’re going to go through all the trouble of draining and measuring why not just make sure it’s 100% right by checking the level. I didn’t really measure how much came off but the important thing is the amount of fluid that remains in the trans is correct.
    2
  8490. The best way to contact me at the moment is through comments on the channel. Unfortunately it’s been hard to keep up with emails and social media
    2
  8491. Hi! You can but personally I would check the fluid level.
    2
  8492. Hi! Hybrids are completely different and this process only applies to non hybrids. Here’s a video for hybrid transmissions https://youtu.be/I1fP-RKsqG0
    2
  8493. Hi! Just the bottom of the car generally.
    2
  8494. Hi! It’s the same temp
    2
  8495. Hi! 95-114
    2
  8496. The 18 Camry doesn’t have the bypass valve. In the description of the video I posted all the cars that has it for the 8 speed so far only some highlander and sienna models have it
    2
  8497. Hi! Yes it’s a similar process and it does use toyota ATF WS
    2
  8498. Yes
    2
  8499. Phil Indeblanc flushing does get more fluid out. However draining and filling is sufficient in refreshing the fluid enough to keep everything good. Flushing for DIY is difficult as you need a machine so draining and filling is good.
    2
  8500. I work at a dealership and we don’t change transmission filters and have seen countless Toyota transmissions last well into the 300k range with the original filter and only fluid replacement.
    2
  8501. I don’t recommend filter replacements on Toyota transmissions and the trans pan gasket is not reusable
    2
  8502. Hi! You can change it at 30k. I would however change it every 60k which is also a safe interval to protect the transmission
    2
  8503. The 2013 RAV4 has the same procedure as the one in this video.
    2
  8504. Hi! Honestly at this point I would consider leaving it alone and at most I would just replace the fluid once.
    2
  8505. Hi! Put the car in park
    2
  8506. Hi! You’ll need a scan tool that can check the fluid temperature
    2
  8507. Hi! The fluid temp doesn’t matter when you drain it preferably cold.
    2
  8508. 95-113 F for both
    2
  8509. I would change the fluid. The 2010-2021 4runners all have the same transmission no difference if it’s trd or not. I would change the fluid every 60k or 6 years.
    2
  8510. Flushing or changing the fluid in a high mileage transmission without a very clear and precise service history is not recommended at all. I would just leave it alone if you got a high mileage one with unknown service history as you can do more damage than good in this case.
    2
  8511. Hi! I would stick with Toyota ATF WS
    2
  8512. The rest of the procedure is the same. Practice it first
    2
  8513. Hi! Both take WS ATF
    2
  8514. Thank you for your comment. Sure that could work but how do you know that your fluid level was good to begin with? If you’re going to measure and drain and fill, not much is left to check the fluid level and make sure the level is 100% accurate.
    2
  8515. John honestly the filter and pan is rarely done. The example sienna I told you about still has the original filter and no pan drop. But if you’re doing the work yourself it can’t hurt and by dropping the pan you’ll get a bit more fluid out. Just make sure everything is cleaned very well. And inspect the filter and you’ll it will be clean, I’ve yet to see a Toyota transmission filter that’s dirty. The magnets will have some debris but nothing crazy. Also make sure if you pull the pan that the magnets go back in the exact same spot. The pan is usually notched where the magnets go.
    2
  8516. Hi John, thank you for watching my channel and subscribing. On the transmission for your 13 sienna the total capacity that is listed is 5.6 quarts. That is the fill capacity with a new transmission and a new torque converter. Both will come with some fluid so it’s likely a little higher than that. The idea of replacing the transmission fluid is to renew the additive package in the fluid and not really get 100% of the fluid replaced. Sure getting the fluid all replaced is ok but automatic transmissions as they get miles on them don’t like too much fresh additives that could attach the aged clutches and could cause issues. A single replacement of the transmission fluid is really sufficient to keep things fresh and protected. At the dealership where I work we have a customer with a 16 sienna with over 400k miles that has done the transmission fluid drain and fill every 40-60k on the dot and still has the same transMission which I recently drained and filled and still runs perfectly. If you want to replace the whole capacity by repeating the process multiple times you can. I just want you to know that one replacement is sufficient. I understand your point and agree with it. 80-90% of the fluid replaced is better than 40-50% but with automatic transmissions that’s not the case. The U660 transmission in your van is tough and very well made. With good care it will easily outlast the life of the car.
    2
  8517. Hi! Yes it’s exactly the same 95-114
    2
  8518. Hi! Yes it’s the same 95-114
    2
  8519. Hi! 95-114
    2
  8520. Hi! 95-113
    2
  8521. Hi! 95-114
    2
  8522. Hi! I haven’t found a function to reset transmission memory and you can view trans temperature on some models. The company seems committed to being support to those models that you can’t if you contact them
    2
  8523. Hi! The difference in idle speed is very small and honestly this was on some documentation and not on others. Just adjust the fluid level when you’re at the correct temp window and don’t worry about the idle
    2
  8524. Just a drain and fill as that’s border line
    2
  8525. Yes
    2
  8526. Hi! You don’t need to replace it. Reuse the same one. It’s called the overflow tube
    2
  8527. If you’ve already replaced the fluid. Just follow it up with a fluid level check to be sure when the ambient temp allows
    2
  8528. Hi! I would change the transmission fluid every 60k miles or 6 years so you’re getting close in time and miles. Maybe in this year or the beginning of next year consider replacing it. Either temperature method works. But using the internal sensor and reading it using a scan tool is more accurate. The lord I reference at the closing statement is the one and only lord, our lord and savior Jesus Christ.
    2
  8529. Yes keep the engine running in park when you check the fluid level
    2
  8530. When you are done with the procedure and about to check the fluid level put the shifter in park
    2
  8531. Sorry they treated you this way. I’d find another dealership because you will be the one laughing when your transmission is perfect at 300k miles because you changed the fluid
    2
  8532. Hi! Should be around the same amount perhaps a bit more. On your Camry there’s no thermostat so no worries there
    2
  8533. Can’t go wrong replacing it early! I found from experience around 60k is a good time. Usually around that mileage the fluid is still clean and not starting to turn very dark. Closer to 80-90k is when they start turning ugly. But at 30-35 you’ll never see dirty fluid.
    2
  8534. I agree Jim. The lifetime fluid deal that auto manufacturers came out with didn’t come out of the engineering department. It came out of the marketing department as a way to market their cars as a low maintenance car. Once that 100-150k rolls up the problems start the owner is stuck paying the bills. Always buy the cheap insurance and replace your transmission fluid and don’t leave room for doubt. If a shop refuses to change the fluid at 60k then it’s their loss someone else will gladly appreciate your business and replace it. Or even better if you’re handy replace it yourself it’s not hard.
    2
  8535. Depends on the model and transmission but generally around 30 ft lbs
    2
  8536. Hi! It’s ok if it’s done at the correct miles and followed by a fluid level check
    2
  8537. Hi! Yes they do.
    2
  8538. Hi! If you don’t have a dipstick then yes.
    2
  8539. The range I gave in the video was a general rule of thumb. In your transmissions case you are correct the range is 97-115. You can use the temp gun method if your sure about your temp gun accuracy.
    2
  8540. Yes it will work
    2
  8541. Hi! On the frame of the car. Use your eye sight to keep it simple. If the car is relatively level not an inclined or decline that’s good enough
    2
  8542. Hi! 95-113
    2
  8543. For your 18 Camry hybrid and for that matter all hybrid toyota models it’s a simple drain and fill and this procedure doesn’t apply
    2
  8544. Hi! Your temperature needs to be between 95-113
    2
  8545. I unfortunately don’t. However that one is even easier. If it has the ZF transmission which is similar to the Supra transmission it does require a temperature reading as well and you fill the transmission from the side until it overflows. Research on this transmission as I don’t have more information on it.
    2
  8546. Hi! It’s recommended every 60-90k miles. Here’s a video that’s specific for hybrid transmissions https://youtu.be/I1fP-RKsqG0
    2
  8547. It doesn’t have to be
    2
  8548. That’s not correct oil then. I would use 5w20 or 5w30 the most if it’s allowed per the manual but 10w40 wow....
    2
  8549. I would look in your owners manual if it says use 0w16 only then that’s what I would use
    2
  8550. Interesting. I would have the memory reset first and the fluid level checked before replacing it
    2
  8551. Hi! Some shops will use aftermarket fluid unless you ask them or bring your own fluid. I would ask and if they can’t get it, get your own
    2
  8552. Hi! Honestly I wouldn’t replace the fluid at this point. And if you have to, just do a single drain and fill and call it a day
    2
  8553. Hi Steven! So replacing the transmission fluid multiple times in one sitting seems to affect the clutches in a negative way. A single replacement is enough to replenish the additive package and keep things protected.
    2
  8554. Hi David! The idea of the drain and fill is to change enough of the fluid to refresh the additive package.
    2
  8555. You want to be in park at that point.
    2
  8556. Hi! Yes it will. A video specific to the 4runner coming up very soon
    2
  8557. Hi! Techinfo.Toyota.com
    2
  8558. Be careful using the radiator lines. You don’t want to run the transmission low on fluid. I would use ATF WS from Toyota if I were you.
    2
  8559. Relatively level. Just by eye sight. So if it’s on ramps that’s not level or the front is lifted only. Lift all 4 corners of the ground with similar length jack stands
    2
  8560. Hi! 95-114
    2
  8561. The temperature is 104-113 and I wouldn’t replace the filter if it was my car. You won’t do harm just most of them that we’ve replaced looked clean
    2
  8562. Hi! Likely this one uses cvt fluid
    2
  8563. Hi! Is your car a hybrid or a conventional CVT transmission?
    2
  8564. Except the trucks
    2
  8565. Hi! They sell the cvt fluid in a 4 liter can which is more than enough for one transmission fluid replacement
    2
  8566. If they follow the flush with a fluid level check it should be good
    2
  8567. Hi! If you overfill Toyota sealed transmissions they will typically leak or some of them will make a whining noise. The BG flush that’s used by dealerships I personally don’t like. I’d rather use original fluid even with a flush. The flush should be followed by a fluid level adjustment. Toyota dealerships use a high temperature fluid adjustment special tool which allows you to check the level at operating temperature
    2
  8568. You’re welcome! Glad I could help
    2
  8569. Hi! They do. Anywhere between 200-300 on average
    2
  8570. The 2020 corolla doesn’t support the jumper method unfortunately they took it out you’ll need a scan tool to see the temp
    2
  8571. Hi! You could. The schedule is backed up into June. Should get better by June
    2
  8572. Hi! I would ask around other dealerships. One of them can replace it for you. I am not sure if it’s exactly the same unit as the one in the us because we don’t have your exact model. But if you find the model number of the transmission I can tell you if it’s the same or not
    2
  8573. The temp is good for your Camry and the filters are for synthetic oil. Any oil starting with 0 is synthetic
    2
  8574. Hi! 95-113
    2
  8575. Hi! I would replace it only once. Not really look for the fluid to get red.
    2
  8576. Hi! I would leave it alone at this point
    2
  8577. Hi! Yes but you need to push the pin in the cooler bypass as I talked about in the video
    2
  8578. Hi! Should be around 99-115
    2
  8579. Hi! 95-114
    2
  8580. Hi! You can change it at this time since there hasn’t been any service to the transmission
    2
  8581. I would use 80w90 or 75w80 gear oil. Mobil one is good. Toyota doesn’t even sell differential and transfer case fluid in bottles for consumers as it’s super expensive and not really worth it.
    2
  8582. Thank you! Yes this applies to your rav4. This procedure applies to all Toyota transmissions with no dipstick except hybrids.
    2
  8583. Hi! 95-114 and yes there’s a drain and fill gasket which your local dealership would have
    2
  8584. Hi! That works if the level was right to begin with. And you’d be surprised….. I would check the fluid level
    2
  8585. Hi! Did they do a flush or drain and fill?
    2
  8586. You can leave either out or installed. You can leave it off in case you need add additional fluid
    2
  8587. Hi! The temp range is 104-113 F there is a filter bit typically never replaced and doesn’t cause any issues. A pan drop it required to replace it but I wouldn’t bother honestly
    2
  8588. Glad I could help!
    2
  8589. Hi! That can work. However if you’ve done all the work to measure and add why not spend another 15 minutes and make sure it’s at the right level?
    2
  8590. Hi! I would stick with the single drain and fill honestly. I wouldn’t use the return line to do a flush as if you’re not very careful you could run the transmission low
    2
  8591. This one is my fault for not making it clear in the video. After the D light comes on and you will remove the jumper you actually put the car in park but the D light will still come on. My bad
    2
  8592. You can but I wouldn’t use a perfect level as that will be very difficult. Use your best judgment on level
    2
  8593. Unless there’s heavy fluid contamination I wouldn’t worry about the filter. If you change there’s no harm just opening the pan and cleanliness becomes an issue so be careful with that. If you change the fluid on time you shouldn’t need to worry about the filter
    2
  8594. Check the transmission fluid level per my video. If the level is correct you’re done
    2
  8595. Hi! 95-113
    2
  8596. Hi! You can do it that way, but I’d say if you did all the work of measuring and adding why not take it one more step and Check the fluid level and be on the safe side
    2
  8597. If you are referring to the overflow tube then Dealership. And I wouldn’t get an extra one. They’re very well made and not likely to break.
    2
  8598. I normally recommend you replace it at 60k or 6 years. No harm in replacing it earlier at 50k
    2
  8599. You could weight it but measuring the amount in quarts or liters is actually better and easier. I would still follow it up with a fluid level check to be 100% sure.
    2
  8600. Thank you for watching my video. You can use any method to get the fluid into the transmission that works for you. A pump or a funnel will work. I wouldn’t focus on getting the fluid clean. I would focus on replacing it every 60k or 6 years and be done with it and not worry or overthink it. I wouldn’t replace the filter as in Toyota transmissions that’s not really needed.
    2
  8601. Honestly I wouldn’t replace the filter. Even the fluid is still early
    2
  8602. Hi! Depends on the mileage. If it’s over 100k I would leave it alone
    2
  8603. Hi! I recommend you replace the transmission fluid every 60k miles or 6 years so you’re good on both
    2
  8604. Hi! The transmission in this video is exactly the same as the one you have.
    2
  8605. I would replace the fluid. Find another dealership
    2
  8606. Hi! It does apply to your 2015 RAV4
    2
  8607. Hi! Every 60k miles or 6 years
    2
  8608. Honestly if this is my car I wouldn’t worry about it. People end up spending too much money out of justifiable worry but if you leave it as is it could be years and years before it starts to progress and by that time it might be time to change the car anyway.
    2
  8609. It could turn into a big repair if it’s clutches. Depending on the severity of the flare I wouldn’t rush to sell it as it might stay the same for a long time
    2
  8610. That erratic shifting at the beginning is normal. It needs to recalibrate everything to base levels then start adapting.
    2
  8611. No disconnecting the battery wouldn’t do the memory reset. When you have the techstream connect to the car to to engine and ect then go to utility then select reset memory. After that drive the car for 20 minutes at speeds around 35-40 mph and you’re all set
    2
  8612. Hi! Some of them will make a strange whining noise or it will leak fluid out of the axle seals
    2
  8613. Hi! 104-113 F
    2
  8614. Hi! At this mileage you should be good replacing it. I would do a drain and fill
    2
  8615. Yes out the car in park and remove the jumper
    2
  8616. A flush will not damage your transmission it does get a bit more fluid. As long as the dealership is including the level adjustment with the flush then that’s a good price. You can always double check the level afterwards if you’d like.
    2
  8617. mark if it’s a top off after replacing axles it’s usually no more than a half a quart. I would get one bottle. If doing a drain and fill you’ll have to measure but usually you’ll need about 4 bottles to be on the safe side
    2
  8618. The fluid In all hybrid Toyota transmissions is different than this and simpler. It’s just a simple drain and fill until it overflows and you’re done. They use Toyota atf WS
    2
  8619. Hi! I would change it once. Ws fluid tends to get dark quick which is normal as long as it doesn’t smell burned.
    2
  8620. Yes hybrid transmissions are different and actually easier. A simple drain and fill. I’m working on a video for that which will come soon.
    2
  8621. Hi! Leaks and some of them will make noises
    2
  8622. No the 2018 camry doesn't have a bypass.
    2
  8623. No worries my brother. I’m glad it’s fixed. I do have a Patreon account at www.Patreon.com/thecarcarenut
    2
  8624. You’re border line where I feel comfortable. I would check the fluid if it’s burned or too dark and gritty I would leave it alone. If not a single drain and fill is the most I would do.
    2
  8625. Yes keep it until you’ve set the transmission fluid level and then take it out
    2
  8626. The temp for the transmission fluid adjustment is 95-113
    2
  8627. Hi this is the same procedure. If the shift you’d end in park.
    2
  8628. The dealership typically will use an exchange machine and they should check the fluid level afterwards to double check it
    2
  8629. I personally wouldn’t add anything to any Toyota transmission. But that’s up to you.
    2
  8630. Hi! It doesn’t have a cvt transmission and it’s a known problem with the torque converter. You’ll need a torque converter and a software update.
    2
  8631. This applies to your RAV4 if it’s not hybrid.
    2
  8632. Hi Russell! On transmissions with ATF WS I would stick with the original fluid. I don’t know how I feel about aftermarket one fits all fluid for the WS ones.
    2
  8633. Hi! 95-113
    2
  8634. Hi. It’s not possible to adjust the idle rpm on hybrids. It’s controlled automatically by the hybrid system
    2
  8635. Ok if you have any issues bring it up to them and have them take a look.
    2
  8636. Christian Da Costa if the fluid is low it could cause slipping. However if the fluid level is correct and there’s slipping that would be another issue. Do you have slipping issues? Which model and year?
    2
  8637. Christian Da Costa awesome question! Thank you! If the fluid level is too low you’ll have delayed engagement when cold and shift flare or slips when turning. Also a very harsh engagement on reverse. If the fluid is too high you could have leaks, also I’ve seen a few whining noises from the trans pump. On the heat wave in California I’d wait until it passes ideally you want the outside temperature to be less than 95 degree F. The colder it is outside the more time you’ll have to work with.
    2
  8638. Hi! The filter on Toyota transmissions is not normally replaced for maintenance. No real way of draining the torque converter other than a flush
    2
  8639. Yes it does just use the correct fluid for it
    2
  8640. Hi! Yea that’s the fluid it uses
    2
  8641. Actually with most Toyota transmissions especially WS transmissions. I see many 200-400k mile cars on the original filter just regular fluid changes.
    2
  8642. I would replace the filter. No harm in replacing it but no benefit either
    2
  8643. Thank you for watching my videos! Regarding the pan magnets I wouldn’t worry about them as much. They usually have a small amount of material stuck to them and maybe at higher mileage it would be worth it otherwise I wouldn’t.
    2
  8644. The official procedure is to cycle the fluid in the transmission before doing this. If the transmission sat overnight the fluid might have drained into the pan and by cycling the fluid through the hydraulic circuit you are making sure that your level doesn’t drop after you actually drive the car. That’s why I recommend you recheck the fluid after a week or so to be sure. If you spill fluid I would add at least 3 quarts and as soon as you start the car and cycle the shifter, take the drain plug off if nothing comes out add until it trickles. At this point you overfilled the transmission. Get to the temperature then drain the excess.
    2
  8645. Hi! 95-114
    2
  8646. It is safe if done right and followed by a fluid level check.
    2
  8647. That is normal for this mileage. WS fluid tends to get darker much quicker than older fluids. But it doesn’t smell burnt at all.
    2
  8648. At 80k miles I would. The procedure will be the same.
    2
  8649. At that mileage I wouldn’t either
    2
  8650. Hi! So I haven’t seen a 2019 yet but have seen an alarming number of 2nd generation Prius models for catalytic converter theft. However all cars have no covers on the exhaust so theft is possible in all honestly. Some are easier than others and the fact that I haven’t seen any being in an area with high thefts at the moment is a good sign. Many companies make protection shields to make stealing them much harder I would research
    2
  8651. Hi! Leave it in through out the whole process. And it doesn’t affect the warm up time
    2
  8652. So other than the leaks I’ve seen rattling noises when they’re overfilled by a lot. Honestly we’ve seen so low number of cases that I don’t know the exact source of the noise.
    2
  8653. You can do that but be careful not to run the transmission low on fluid.
    2
  8654. If the fluid is changed on time don’t worry about the filter
    2
  8655. Hi! It does apply to 2019 corolla but it uses CVt fluid. And some dealerships don’t want to deal with transmission fluid replacements for some reason
    2
  8656. Yes
    2
  8657. The Camry will get better gas mileage than the highlander with the same engine. It’s smaller and lighter.
    2
  8658. Hi! At 60k or 6 years
    2
  8659. Hi! You should be able to request a drain and fill instead. A flush is ok since your car doesn’t have a lot of miles. But the flush needs to be followed by a fluid level check.
    2
  8660. Thank you! Glad I could help
    2
  8661. It’s normal. Perhaps an indication that cleaning the throttle body is needed.
    2
  8662. Hi! If the fluid is changed on time then no need to replace the filter
    2
  8663. Hi! You can safely go to 90k miles without issues from experience after that the fluid gets really dark and ugly
    2
  8664. Your mileage is low. There’s no risk for this one.
    2
  8665. Hi! No here’s a video specific to hybrids https://youtu.be/I1fP-RKsqG0
    2
  8666. Yes a trickle is ok.
    2
  8667. Hi! I can email me with the subject Chicago service request
    2
  8668. That’s border line. I would just do a single drain and fill
    2
  8669. No it’s for the Battery charger
    2
  8670. Hi! There’s a vent under the seat which doesn’t have a filter
    2
  8671. Thank you for watching Marjan!
    2
  8672. No it’s different. I’ll eventually get a video out for the 2nd generation Prius
    2
  8673. Thank you David! Will do!
    2
  8674. That sounds about right for most of them. Labor is usually between 2-4 hours
    2
  8675. Hi! I would inspect them for debris. If they’re clean don’t worry about them
    2
  8676. Hi Eric! Thank you for watching! I’m working on the highlanders hoping to get the newest generation towards the end of February
    2
  8677. Hi! So far the Venza hasn’t had any issues. Some folks have reported issues but they’re not the same. The principal symptom on the RAV4 was the inability to fill the tank and the gauge never goes to full. If you don’t have that exact issue in your Venza then you’re good and likely won’t have it.
    2
  8678. Hi! If the filters are clean the fan is clean as well.
    2
  8679. Hi! Honestly this might be an issue with the hydraulic booster itself as most of the parts are not serviceable in that unit. How are the brakes working generally? Do you have assist? And what warning lights are on?
    2
  8680. The brown not can be difficult to replace. But you’ll need to break the 2 tabs that lock it in the install the new one. Before you remove the switch take a picture of how far the switch part sticks out so you can install the new switch at the same height
    2
  8681. Thank you for sharing Robert! Professor Kelly is awesome!
    2
  8682. Hi! Change the transmission fluid every 60-90k miles and use only Toyota ATF WS fluid
    2
  8683. Hi! On your camry hybrid it’s located underneath the back seat and there’s only one filter
    2
  8684. Hi! I already have a video for the new RAV4 hybrid find it here https://youtu.be/L1l-JNGMTEs
    2
  8685. Ok so it doesn’t have a filter from the factory but one can be installed for it. The back seat bolster would need to come apart to install the filter. I am looking for an Avalon hybrid in the Chicago area to film a video on how to do this no luck so far
    2
  8686. Hi! Likely the 2013 didn’t have a filter but one can be added. The vent, does it have a mesh directly behind it?
    2
  8687. Around 400k miles on a camry hybrid cab. Many 300k+ Prius cabs and Prius V
    2
  8688. Hi! Yes they usually stay cleaner longer than the ones that are a bit lower
    2
  8689. Hi! I would follow the manufacturer recommendation on the oil weight and change the oil more often if you want to take care of the car
    2
  8690. Personally I recommend OEM. If that’s not an option then stick with denso or NGk
    2
  8691. Don’t use anti seize on Toyota spark plugs. Torque them to spec and call it a day. There’s something else about 5:10 that I’ll wait and see if anyone notices 😉
    2
  8692. What’s wrong with 5:10 😀? First one to notice
    2
  8693. Anti seize.
    2
  8694. Hi! No nothing is needed
    2
  8695. I would get a gear wrench
    2
  8696. There’s only secondary air injection.
    2
  8697. Hi! It doesn’t have secondary air injection in the early years of the 5th generation which makes it even easier to replace the plugs
    2
  8698. Will do in the near future
    2
  8699. It could be slight carbon build up. Pull a spark plug for inspection
    2
  8700. Hi! Try switching gas brands and see if this improves
    2
  8701. Hi! The car will run very rich at idle and possibly foul the plugs. The harm would be minimal if you don’t idle the engine a lot. If there was a lot of idling I’d pull the plugs and clean them and everything will be good.
    2
  8702. This will need some diagnosis. Possible injectors. But you’ll need to verify.
    2
  8703. Hi! 99.9% of the time prices of parts through the service department are at MSRP so even though the parts department is willing to sell below the service department is a different entity and they sell at MSRP
    2
  8704. Hi! Honestly I’m not sure if it’s available in Europe. I would call a dealership and ask
    2
  8705. Not always but for many parts you can
    2
  8706. Other than these websites I am not aware of a Toyota EPC that’s legal that’s available to the public
    2
  8707. It’s because it’s a European vin. I’ll look into solutions for Europe and Canada
    2
  8708. Hi my brother! Usually they do. Unless a part is not available as new only reman like a transmission.
    2
  8709. I don’t have a lot of experience with aftermarket brands honestly
    2
  8710. I am planning to do a video for the water pump. They’re not bad once you get into it.
    2
  8711. Not really sure about Daihatsu as we don’t have them in them in the us
    2
  8712. Hi! You’ll need to find part numbers and cross reference
    2
  8713. Hi! It’s charges when the hybrid system is on and your ready light is on.
    2
  8714. If the kit number is not in the TSB it means there’s no kit for that repair.
    2
  8715. Mobil 1 0w20 is ok
    2
  8716. Hi! It’s possible that the ac compressor kicked on which does happen even with the heat on. Video coming soon on this
    2
  8717. If you shop around and find good prices, you’ll find a lot of maintenance items original comparable to aftermarket prices
    2
  8718. I would check them. If they’re dirty replace them if not keep going until 30k
    2
  8719. Parts.Lexus.com
    2
  8720. I’m looking into similar websites for other countries at this time
    2
  8721. Hi Jamal! You can use up to 5w30 in your climate
    2
  8722. That’s a good question. I’ll need to research a little bit on this one
    2
  8723. Hi! Ones with good service history are ok. Otherwise I see many of them on the 4 cylinder burning oil
    2
  8724. Honestly not much else. You’re doing a great job taking care of it
    2
  8725. We’re working on improving the lighting for the videos
    2
  8726. Thanks for sharing mike!

  8730. Thank you Henrik! Best wishes with your upcoming Toyota RAV4 plug in!
    2
  8731. Thank you for sharing!
    2
  8732. Thanks! Does that QX80 happen to be a white one ;-)
    2
  8733. Thank you Jose!
    2
  8734. Thank you! I would focus more on the condition of the car and it's service history than mileage. I've seen cars with low mileage that are neglected and cars with high mileage that are well taken care and in better condition. It depends on the condition of the car.
    2
  8735. Thank you Michael! I'm glad everyone was safe in the accidents! Cars can be replaced people can't. I dedicated this channel to the lord at the beginning and asked him to prosper it if its in his plans for me or not I am happy for as long I know him.

    2
  8742. Thank you Namal! The battery fan cleaning video for 16-18 rav4 hopefully will be filmed soon as I found a car!! Hopefully in the next few weeks.
    2
  8743. I really like the corolla hybrid personally. It does drive like a hybrid but doesn't have the shape that the Prius have. Plenty of good features and impressive gas mileage! Only con I can think of is size and the way the hybrid system drives is not for everyone. I would take one for a test drive or even look to rent one for a few days to see how you like it. Some toyota dealerships have a rent a car program where you can rent one for a weekend and see how it is. Better spend little on rental to make sure.

    2
  8762. Thank you for sharing Neighbor!
    2
  8763. Thank you tarek! I really like the 2020 corolla hybrid!
    2
  8764. If you’re going for used to put high mileage and something very simple and reliable without the latest and greatest technology I would go with 2015-2017 Camry or 2017-2021 corolla or if going for new a corolla hybrid is awesome. The Camry from 2019 and up are the safe bet if you want the latest and greatest in technology
    2
  8765. I ordered one and it hasn’t come in yet wonder if it will evere
    2
  8766. Thank you for sharing this information!
    2
  8767. Interesting. How long did it work before starting the shut down problems?
    2
  8768. Thank you for watching!
    2
  8769. You can get a hardwire install kit or make one to power it up with the car off
    2
  8770. Hi! I didn’t have issues with the mount falling off. Try cleaning the window in the area where you mount it. If it keeps falling I would contact the company
    2
  8771. It shouldn’t affect the warranty as you’re not hard wiring things
    2
  8772. Hi! Hardwiring it shouldn’t be an issue. There’s plenty of space to wire it as it goes directly to the 12 v battery
    2
  8773. Hi! The car I used on the test does have tinted rear windows didn’t seem to affect the quality as you’ve seen
    2
  8774. Hi! There is parking mode but it doesn’t work if you just plug it into the cigarette lighter. You will need to get the hardwire kit
    2
  8775. Hi! Are you in the us? Trying to work with the company to figure out why it’s not working as some viewers has reported this also
    2
  8776. Honestly that excess heat on the seat could warm the battery up too much. And the wiring needs to be perfect and typically with aftermarket ones they’re not
    2
  8777. Hi! Honestly I wouldn’t install seat heaters on cars where the hybrid battery is underneath the seat. Not only for the heat but for the electrical modifications around the battery
    2
  8778. Hi! The installation was very simple honestly. You can tuck the wire behind trim and really don’t require any modifications as it plugs into the power outlet. As the camera comes it doesn’t work with the car off as the power outlet powers down. If you want it on when the car is off you’d need to hard wire it and then it’ll go into parking mode where it has first a low battery protection where when it sees a low battery it will shut off and then it has a g force sensor where it’ll pick up movement and record
    2
  8779. Total capacity is around 10-12 quarts. What gets replaced in a drain and fill is around 4-5
    2
  8780. Hi! That is an issue that has come up here and there. The bump steer can be attributed as a normal characteristic of the truck. The vibration is usually tire wheel related and can be remedied with a proper road force balance from a good machine.
    2
  8781. Hi! Likely rust is not a big issue for that area. Wouldn’t hurt to look underneath it to see if it looks rusty or clean. You can even ask the dealership to put the car on a lift so you can look. Google rusty car frames to get a reference of how they look when they’re rusty
    2
  8782. I work at a Toyota dealership and we do service the transmission on 4runners? Some dealerships don’t but a lot of them do. You just gotta make some calls and find who does.
    2
  8783. Hi! First I’d check the tire pressure. If that’s good take it back to the dealership and have them take a look.
    2
  8784. Happy new year! I’m sorry to hear about your friend. Car accidents are the worst and even though cars keep getting safer and safer but still accidents keep getting worse and worse.
    2
  8785. Very true. That’s why you see more car companies abandoning body on frame designs.
    2
  8786. Thanks! I’m looking into making a video on the new chassis
    2
  8787. Hey brother! That likely has to do with the 4Runner being a bit ancient. It’s the same truck from 2010. The highlander now rides on TNGA so it’s a completely different car from the generation before.
    2
  8788. Most undercoating services focus on the body. When undercoating a 4Runner you want to focus on the frame. The body will likely not rust at all but the frame will. Frequent washes of the frame is recommend in road salt areas. Undercoating should be reapplied after a few years of first application.
    2
  8789. Many products out there for rust proofing. More important than the product is repeating the coverage every few years for continued protection
    2
  8790. Hi! At the moment I only have one for the hybrid fan filter on a hybrid corolla. Any specific videos you’d like to see for the 2020 corolla?
    2
  8791. Thank you for watching my video!
    2
  8792. Hi! Try to avoid sharp turns in 4WD on dry pavement and avoid very high speeds on the highway.
    2
  8793. 100% agree! It seems like every time car journalists love a car it doesn’t sell, and every time they hate a car it sells very well. Car companies make cars to sell and make profit not impress journalists who don’t even own them. The 4Runner is border line legend if not there already. It’s a simple formula that works and likely continue to work
    2
  8794. If you are not handy and don’t have the needed experience to change it yourself, I would definitely recommend having a dealership replace the fluid.
    2
  8795. Yes every 60k or 6 years using Toyota ATF WS
    2
  8796. Hi! This generation 4Runner didn’t come with a V8 but the previous generation had it and it was also bulletproof
    2
  8797. The trd pro is very nice but the other less expensive models are also very capable off road
    2
  8798. I’m in for the YouTube master tech avengers endgame! Or just a cars and coffee works too 😀
    2
  8799. In my opinion the 4Runner is up there with the land cruiser. Work on both of them and know them inside out. That’s how good the 4Runner is
    2
  8800. You’re welcome! With your 4Runner the wheels will fall off in a very long time I wouldn’t hold my breath 😆 very good truck honestly
    2
  8801. I wouldn’t remove that rubber seal as it seals that area from direct water. And the issue although very rare could be two plastic tabs underneath the glass. I would have the dealership fix it for you under warranty.
    2
  8802. So far it’s been quiet no word of a new generation yet at least on my end.
    2
  8803. Hi! I work at a Toyota dealership in the Chicago area
    2
  8804. That would have to be enabled using a Toyota scan tool. Most dealerships will do this for free.
    2
  8805. Yep that’s a common thing with 4runners. And with customers we end up bringing a brand new 4Runner to compare and it’s the same
    2
  8806. Hey brother! This surprises me from him. That generation 4Runner does have a loud engine. And they make that noise when they have 1 mile and when they occasionally come in the shop with well over 250k miles. It’s normal for the GR series engine to make its cold start noise but then 300k mile later when nothing happen people will believe it was not a problem. I can easily name many disasters with that old 4Runner he compares the new one to that the new one will never have. Matter of opinion I suppose. I don’t think a better 4Runner can be made than this current generation and yet Toyota will probably surprise us more with the new one.
    2
  8807. Chicago area
    2
  8808. Consider the Venza as well. The 4Runner is awesome and it’s a great investment but can be high and visibility an issue as well.
    2
  8809. Hi! Yes it does apply to the manual lever 4x4 as well
    2
  8810. Hi! Both. 4h can be while driving on a straight road. 4lo when stopped
    2
  8811. I wouldn’t unless they are broken or have issues
    2
  8812. Hi! Honestly that’s a normal characteristic of this engine. The new one fresh off the truck sounds like this and the recent one I saw with over 300k miles also sounds exactly the same.
    2
  8813. Hey brother! It would make sense if the new 4Runner would have a similar drivetrain as the current Tacoma. The transmission is solid on the Tacoma so far.
    2
  8814. Hi! It shouldn’t be this case. Try reading the other side of the dipstick
    2
  8815. Hi! It’s the same engine from 2010-2021 and they are a bit loud but that’s a normal characteristic of the engine and nothing to worry about
    2
  8816. Hi! That is in the list and will come in the future
    2
  8817. It’s actually very good! Video coming tomorrow with some details
    2
  8818. The bearings on the front differential were fixed in the later years but the wheel bearings are still possible to fail but not something that’ll happen in the first 5 years. It will happen in the later life of the truck. The oil leaks are really random and hard to predict but the later ones seem better.
    2
  8819. I’d check it out well and if it’s been in the rust belt I would look at that frame. We’re seeing a lot of bad frames in that generation so be careful.
    2
  8820. Hi mike! That is coming very soon!
    2
  8821. Bob Coats I’m glad I could help! Thank you for watching my videos!
    2
  8822. Agreed. The new engine is good but early ones had some issues with valve springs breaking. Also notorious for hidden oil leaks that leak on the exhaust manifold.
    2
  8823. I loved that v8 as well. Bulletproof. I don’t think I’ve done anything internal to that engine. Most is a timing belt water pump
    2
  8824. Not official information but they changed some of the front end structure.
    2
  8825. Hey brother! That small overlap test caught a lot of manufacturers by surprise. Made Toyota change the 2012-2014 Camry that’s why there’s a 2014.5
    2
  8826. Hi brother! Thank you! Land cruisers are awesome. They’re not similar to 4runners somewhat close to a sequoia but much better built both inside and out. They are very reliable to a point that they rarely have issues
    2
  8827. Hi! They don’t have start stop technology.
    2
  8828. I hear you. I dislike it as well.
    2
  8829. Any surface rust on any components is normal. Some surface rust is normal on the frame. You just don’t want scaling. When chunks of the frame surface starts falling that’s not good. You don’t want it to get that bad. Regularly washing the salt off in the winter whenever possible and even undercoating the frame is recommended to slow things down significantly. Other than this issue you’ll have your truck forever without any issues other than the minor things mentioned in this video
    2
  8830. Honestly they’re all exactly the same. If your budget allows I’d go for 14+ as they look nicer. And the newest ones have more features.
    2
  8831. Hi! On the 4Runner it’s hard to coat the inside. But the outside is recommended for coating
    2
  8832. Hi! Not yet. If I get one as a side job at home I’ll film iy
    2
  8833. Hi! That hissing is somewhat normal as this car doesn’t have a booster, it has a hydro booster
    2
  8834. This is somewhat of an issue on these trucks. Has a lot to do with tires and wheels. Question. What brand tires and is the shop balancing the tires a dealership?
    2
  8835. You can repair the x reas but it’s very expensive as you’d have to replace everything. Much cheaper and really don’t change the ride if you just change everything to regular shocks
    2
  8836. If it’s been taken care of and had a complete service history I wouldn’t worry about the miles. If it’s a rust belt car make sure it’s not rusting badly
    2
  8837. Thank you for watching my video! At the moment I don’t but they are planned and coming in the future.
    2
  8838. 6
    2
  8839. The 2010-2021 are basically almost the same. I wouldn’t prefer one over the other
    2
  8840. Thank you for watching my video. Hope you are ok from the wreck. I would test drive the new 4Runner it’s actually a pretty nice truck. I have no information on any upcoming new 4Runner
    2
  8841. Hi! The only issues that remain are wheel bearings and xreas suspension on the limited models. The radios have improved but still can be problematic. A 20 ton press should do to press the bearings just don’t forget to put the bolts and the seal before pressing the hub into the bearing
    2
  8842. You won’t regret buying one! And if you do resale value is so high you won’t feel like you lost much. On rust get the frame rust proofed and you should have no issues
    2
  8843. Hi! Ball joints hold really well on these trucks.
    2
  8844. I haven’t really seen issues with KDSS but they can disable it and drive to see if there’s an improvement to verify
    2
  8845. It’s a very simple system with little to no diagnosis really. What issue do you have with KDSS?
    2
  8846. Honestly that’s a bit much. If the price is low maybe but don’t expect it to be trouble free at this mileage
    2
  8847. Each dealership will have their own internal policies. From experience 60k is a very safe and good interval to change the fluid
    2
  8848. Hi! Techinfo.Toyota.com
    2
  8849. Hi! Tires are likely it. Usually most bearings that failed are over 100k. Needle bearings noise should go away in 4WD.
    2
  8850. Hi! It’s likely a blower motor. Not very common on 4runners but wouldn’t surprise me. Buy an original one online and it’s literally a cover 1 connector and 3 screws and it’s out. Before you replace it I’d remove it and make sure you got nothing stuck there sometimes it’s easier to clean it when it’s out.
    2
  8851. Great truck. Wish it didn’t come with xreas. That’s about the only thing that could be an issue in the far future.
    2
  8852. You can connect your obd2 reader and see. But I assure you this one is common and 100% normal. Tacoma, sequoia, land cruiser, tundra and FJ owners will tell you the same.
    2
  8853. Honestly they want a 4Runner to handle like a $200,000 G63 AMG and they’ll still find something to complain about just because it’s a Toyota 😀 4runners are awesome. Nothing else is available in the 4runners segment really. I’ll be doing a tech review so everyone would see why the darn thing is so reliable
    2
  8854. Hi! The engine is thirsty but I wouldn’t say you lose all the money saved on reliability. It’s a very good truck in its segment. I don’t think there’s another body on frame truck out there that’s the size of the 4Runner and is as reliable
    2
  8855. Hi! Personally I haven’t seen the tundra brake swap myself. However it could be beneficial if the price difference is not very high
    2
  8856. You can adjust the odometer for better accuracy
    2
  8857. Joseph they are both good. The newer one is more reliable overall. The old one drives better but the new one is nicer overall. Be careful with rust on old ones especially if buying one from the rust belt. They tend to get pretty bad with age.
    2
  8858. I would stick with 80w90
    2
  8859. In very hot climate you can go to 5w30 permanent for that engine. Originally this engine was designed for 5W30 then later adapted for 0W20 for fuel economy.
    2
  8860. Hi John. You hear these issues because I don’t want you to go and buy that neglected 4Runner that the owner didn’t bother getting things fixed while the truck was under warranty and now you buy it and have to deal with them. Buy a nice example that doesn’t have any of these issues and you’ll have a solid truck for years to come as long as you take care of it and keep the maintenance.
    2
  8861. Hi! Plenty of parking available
    2
  8862. Hi! 5 miles are borderline short trip. In cold weather it would be. In mild or warmer weather it’s not
    2
  8863. Hi! It really worries me when the dealership doesn’t know their only brand that they service. Sure they could do the flush but when you request a drain and fill they should be able to do it. Search car care nut transmission fluid and you’ll see a video I did on how to replace the fluid on the “sealed” transmission
    2
  8864. Hi! Prevention is key. I would make it a point to take the car on a longer drive every week
    2
  8865. Either or. 6 years or 60k miles
    2
  8866. Hi! With the Yaris yes it’s common for the exhaust to rust. Likely you’ll end up needing an exhaust manifold as the bolts break in them and the nuts rot out. They’re not very experience the exhaust manifold as it doesn’t have a cat in it
    2
  8867. Hi! It depends if it needs it. If you are diy doing this then it’s ok
    2
  8868. Hi! I personally haven’t tried it so I can’t honestly say if it’s good or not
    2
  8869. Hi! It’s recommended to do the break in oil change. I do it on my personal cars
    2
  8870. Hi! I like this camera. It has one camera facing forward and 2 on the side 180 degrees apart. I figured people would decide if they like it by the video quality that’s why I didn’t elaborate on it much. It’s very solid quality a bit expensive but it’s good quality
    2
  8871. Hi! Yes that is the case. Older design vehicle that had the cooler added on later
    2
  8872. Hi! It could help in some cases yes
    2
  8873. Hi! Long highway drives as actually good for any engine
    2
  8874. Hi! It has less of an effect but still you’d want to follow a severe service schedule and watch the services by time
    2
  8875. Hi! It can’t be increased unfortunately.
    2
  8876. Hi! If you take care of it well you’ll likely be surprised at 300k that it runs exactly the same as now
    2
  8877. Hi! No real reason possible drag and fuel economy
    2
  8878. You’re welcome to bring the car in and we’ll take a look. Message me through social media and I’ll get back to you
    2
  8879. Honestly it’s hard to tell the severity of the vibration. Contact Toyota and see what they can do
    2
  8880. I see. How bad is the shimmy? At a specific speed? Was Toyota involved in the repairs?
    2
  8881. Hi! On the fuel pump recall I haven’t seen any failures on the new ones unless there was an issue with the replacement procedure which on the 4Runner is rare as it’s pretty straight forward
    2
  8882. I hope not
    2
  8883. It should fit and the wiring will need some modifications
    2
  8884. Hi! There’s no accessory on the Toyota side to do that. However I would research locking gas caps
    2
  8885. One station wagon stands out in mind is the old Camry wagon with the 2 wipers on the back! They’re very rare to see here in Chicago because they’re all badly rusted but on vacation in Florida I saw one that was rust free!
    2
  8886. It will definitely happen! But likely a RAV4 TNGA series is next
    2
  8887. Hi! The computer is well covered and insulated. No harm in spraying inside the door.
    2
  8888. They are both equally reliable honestly. However from an overall perspective they are not the same and comparing them is not fare. The 4Runner costs almost half what the land cruiser costs but the land cruiser is not double the truck that the 4Runner is. While I love the land cruiser their prices are too high and from a financial stand point the 4Runner makes much more sense
    2
  8889. We recently had a black or dark grey TRd pro seems gone now. Hard to find off road premium and pros these days
    2
  8890. If you’re in Chicago we’re having a 4Runner meet this Sunday at 9 am
    2
  8891. Thank you for watching! So the hood scoop can be modified to make it functional but the intake is on the passenger side so making it an actual intake for the engine might be difficult and honestly might not be worth it
    2
  8892. It should take up to 2 hours. Try to go in with low fuel level not full if possible.
    2
  8893. Low beam
    2
  8894. It is worth the trouble in my opinion if you’re shopping for that generation 4Runner. But I would ignore the v6 or the next generation just for that engine
    2
  8895. I suppose Toyota thought that was too complicated so they did away with it in the 5th gen
    2
  8896. I’d have to check part numbers honestly I don’t recall that right off the top of my head
    2
  8897. Hi! They are not the same filter.
    2
  8898. Hi! The highlander series will likely be later on but the current generation highlander is very good in my opinion. If you don’t plan on off roading and need a family suv you’re likely better off with the highlander honestly
    2
  8899. Thank you for watching Jose! The 278 is good until it’s not! 😂. So far so good with the 221 especially after the wire harness replacement under extended warranty for oil from the cam sensors
    2
  8900. That one should be safe to use.
    2
  8901. Hi! You can comment on any video. Email is not a good option at this time as I hardly have time to reply and have a big back lot
    2
  8902. Hi! It could be an issue with the cooling fans. I’d also check the water pump the electric one.
    2
  8903. This is a classic case of a dealership with good techs and a bad manager. Shame...
    2
  8904. Hi! Not yet. I only have one for new cars
    2
  8905. When the car is sold new and maybe used yes. But not after going in for service?
    2
  8906. Thank you! Probably not going to!
    2
  8907. Hi! I don’t have a lot of experience with aftermarket tuning honestky
    2
  8908. Don’t worry. Just keep up the maintenance and take care of the truck
    2
  8909. Yes they can take care of it
    2
  8910. I would always get 4x4.
    2
  8911. Honestly it won’t be as smooth as the 2020 Camry. Test drive a new one and you’ll see what I mean.
    2
  8912. Hi! Yes here’s the video the latest RAV4 https://youtu.be/aUA2Jw1nKkk
    2
  8913. Hi! The later years seem improved as I haven’t seen any that I recall
    2
  8914. Hi! That is correct! These engines can get loud and it’s normal
    2
  8915. Hi! I would have to look at the build sheet for the 4 cylinder honestly.
    2
  8916. I would go with every 5k miles
    2
  8917. Hi! I don’t have complaints on Tacoma’s made in Mexico. Many people on the internet will say otherwise but none comes back with real world proof. The semi conductor shortage will not affect the truck but will potentially make finding that perfect one harder as inventories are low at the moment
    2
  8918. Hi! No the 4Runner has a different engine! Here’s a video like this one for the 4Runner https://youtu.be/bi_AeB335Yo
    2
  8919. It starts under the protective film.
    2
  8920. Hi! A flush followed by a fluid level check is good otherwise a drain and fill
    2
  8921. Hi! Absolutely! The 2nd generation Tacoma video is planned and coming in the future. Thank you for watching
    2
  8922. So I don’t know why some dealerships are hesitant to undercoat hybrids. They are weather proofed like any other car and undercoating them is not an issue
    2
  8923. Hi Craig! I have not gotten to the TNGA platform video yet but it’s coming in the future
    2
  8924. It’s heavier and less aerodynamic.
    2
  8925. I think you should contact the dealership first and tell them this is a problem that keeps happening. Speak with the manager and explain what’s going on. If he doesn’t do anything then contact Toyota experience center
    2
  8926. Hi Chris! Sorry about the issues with your Tacoma. Question. Did the dealership involve Toyota at any point? If not then they should per the fix it right the first time initiative from Toyota.
    2
  8927. Hi! Thank you for watching my video. No official information on that but I’ll ask around. Doesn’t make sense why they removed it honestly
    2
  8928. Honestly I don’t remember it right off the top of my head but it should be either a 8x1.25 or 10x1.25. If it’s smaller than it can be a 6x1
    2
  8929. Hi! Usually the thread pitch is 1.25
    2
  8930. Hi! If you use good quality gas there’s absolutely no benefit in using 91 over 87. With the exception if premium gas in your area has no ethanol then it’s beneficial. Otherwise no
    2
  8931. The 2.7 is solid for all years. Most of the issues in the first years was v6
    2
  8932. Hi! On toyota at least 6 months of production to be safe
    2
  8933. If you don’t need 4x4 and don’t mind the underpowered 4 cylinder then yes that’s a very basic and reliable configuration
    2
  8934. Congratulations on your purchase!
    2
  8935. It’s a bear of a job honestly. Either drop the front differential out or pull the engine out
    2
  8936. If you’re not loosing money it is of course a good deal
    2
  8937. Hi! Honestly it’s hard to tell without in person diagnosis
    2
  8938. It is software but at Toyota’s level it’s not possible to change it as the engine was certified for emissions as it is and if Toyota backs out that program it would be essentially cheating. Aftermarket is a different story as anything is possible when you don’t have he federal government and the epa breathing down your neck 😀
    2
  8939. Hi! Personally I like the 4Runner more but if you need a truck with a bed the Tacoma is a very good option
    2
  8940. From the blocked off passage?
    2
  8941. Towing near the max is allowed but you have to change the transmission fluid every 60k or 6 years
    2
  8942. Hi! The 2021 didn’t come with the fan. Tell the dealership to look up the TSB
    2
  8943. Hi! It does have the plastic pipe but it’s been updated to fix the issue.
    2
  8944. Thank you! I don’t know much about motorcycles not really into them
    2
  8945. Hi! The newer Tacoma’s don’t have fittings to grease the driveshaft
    2
  8946. I wouldn’t hurry to sell it as they both hold their values and make sure you get a fair price for either of them
    2
  8947. The Tacoma is a bit rougher riding than the 4runner. If smooth ride is a concern I would definitely test drive one or rent one for a few days to see how you like it
    2
  8948. Hello neighbor! So the wire connections are weather proof and are usually not affected by salt unless they’ve been hit and insulation or coverings is damaged which is not common
    2
  8949. Hi! The diff howl is usually the gear contact is not set right. Usually Toyota will replace the whole carrier under warrantu
    2
  8950. Depends on the dealership but fluid film seem to work well on Toyota frames
    2
  8951. Hi! Fluid film works well in protecting the frame against rust
    2
  8952. Hi! I don’t have a exact date break down on the change. But at this point if you didn’t have the leak you’re likely good
    2
  8953. Hi! The tundra doesn’t have much critical plastic parts
    2
  8954. Honestly the truck is loud and feels like a truck. But a loud howling noise is typically covered by warranty and the older ones that had issues they developed them very early and while under warranty
    2
  8955. I’d have to check but if memory serves right it applies to all models with all engine options
    2
  8956. Hi! It’s kit that Toyota assembled in a TSB for those affected by this
    2
  8957. Hi! No decrease in quality that I’ve noticed
    2
  8958. Interesting. That’s an air/fuel ratio imbalance. Not a common code for the Tacoma and definitely will need some diagnosis to get to the root cause
    2
  8959. Hi! I wouldn’t diy the software updates unless you have knowledge with it and understand the risks. At their cost at the dealership it’s not worth the risk
    2
  8960. Hi! The TRD supercharger is a very expensive one but I haven’t seen a single issue if installed correctly
    2
  8961. Email me with the subject Chicago service request
    2
  8962. Hi! Honestly I don’t have a specific product as the one I’ve seen is applied by a company we contact with at the dealership where I work. I would do some research or ask your selling dealership for recommendations
    2
  8963. Hi! Does it form a drop or it’s just a haze?
    2
  8964. Salt belt it is!
    2
  8965. Not yet
    2
  8966. Hi! The part number is 00289-ACRKT
    2
  8967. Hi! To switch into or out of 4Lo you need to be in neutral
    2
  8968. Hi! I haven’t seen issues from 2019 and up
    2
  8969. Hi! The 2022 model is good with Majority of common problems fixed.
    2
  8970. Hi! Refer to technical service bulletin TSB-0093-20
    2
  8971. If your truck is under 5 years old I would bring it to the dealerships attention. If it’s a very small seepage it might not qualify but at least you’ll have some paperwork trail in case it leaks right after warranty runs out you can get possible hood will repair out of warranty. If not then keep an eye on it and after a year if it doesn’t change clean it and you’re good
    2
  8972. Hi! I wouldn’t be. Not all 2016s had issues and if you’ve taken care of this truck from day one and you don’t have issues I wouldn’t worry and would continue to drive it and take care of it.
    2
  8973. You got it 😆
    2
  8974. They are reliable but also a bit more complicated with more technology and options. But compared to similar rivals it’s much more reliable
    2
  8975. Hi! It’s multiple parts. The TSB number is 0093-20 look for it for a complete parts list
    2
  8976. Hi! Honestly I wouldn’t worry. These engines are loud and that’s how they are today and at 300k miles.
    2
  8977. Hi! Depends on your driving. If you don’t drive highway often it wouldn’t hurt to run it every 30-40k miles
    2
  8978. Hi! It’s an auxiliary ac fan and it’s actually a TSB surprised the dealership has no idea about it
    2
  8979. Hey brother! So that’s the last standing engine sold in the US with a cast iron block. The last one before it was the 4.7L V8 if memory serves right
    2
  8980. Hi! Not yet but hope to have one In the future
    2
  8981. No machine is bulletproof. However toyotas are still very reliable overall when compared to other manufacturers. If you had a similar video for other manufacturers you’d see that they actually have a lot more issues.
    2
  8982. Still plastic unfortunately.
    2
  8983. Hi! Parts.toyota.com and shop around. Dealerships make more money on full blades than inserts that’s why
    2
  8984. You can but that costs more and the original wipers that allow insert replacement are really good
    2
  8985. The only car that doesn’t have an option for inserts are 2007-current tundra and 2005-2012 Avalon.
    2
  8986. Hi! So if you remove the wiper and look underneath the flap that opens you should see either a part number or a QR code
    2
  8987. Hi! Did you ask the dealership for wiper inserts only? That price might be for the whole wiper
    2
  8988. Hi! Unfortunately the tundra and sequoia models along side the 2005-2011 avalon don’t have inserts available and the whole wiper would need replacement
    2
  8989. I see. There’s only one insert type from Toyota. Perhaps call around other dealerships?
    2
  8990. Dealership or online.
    2
  8991. In my opinion they are today. In the past that wasn’t the case but starting mid 2000s and up they’ve been pretty consistent
    2
  8992. Hi! From your Toyota dealership.
    2
  8993. Hi! If the wipers smear, don’t clean well, make noise or sometimes you’ll even see the insert split and a piece of rubber is hanging off the wiper then I’d say it’s time for new ones.
    2
  8994. Hi! Hard to diagnose this in this format. See your dealership as it can be under warranty
    2
  8995. Hi! That price is correct and some parts departments will install them for free.
    2
  8996. Unfortunately they don’t accept the refills 😀 but the prices of original wipers seem to have dropped
    2
  8997. 5w30 is a bit much yes
    2
  8998. Hi! It depends on the engine. The A25A in some markets has variable oil pressure so using the correct oil is important. Others do it for fuel economy and you can use thicker oil without issues
    2
  8999. Hi! They are good cars. The LE is more basic option wise than the xle. Awd in the xle is also good if you need it like driving in snowy area otherwise stick with the fwd
    2
  9000. Hi! Honestly nothing concrete available other than the pedals were too long and they interfere with the floor mat
    2
  9001. Hi mike. Are you referring to the dipstick less transmission?
    2
  9002. Hi! I am actually actively looking for one to film with long term as I get ready to make the series for How toyota plug in hybrids work.
    2
  9003. I still work for a Toyota dealership and don’t have plans to leave anytime soon.
    2
  9004. Hi! The RAV4 hybrid is an excellent choice. Don’t have much experience with the Tucson hybrid.
    2
  9005. Hi Eric! It could be a frozen sensor or perhaps ice and/or snow blocking the sensor? Try cleaning the sensor when it doesn’t work and see if that resolves it
    2
  9006. We’ve had a few random ones not enough to establish a pattern. If this is under warranty I’d have the dealership check it and replace pads as needed
    2
  9007. Hi! I would check with the dealership for any software updates. Not likely for the 2021 but wouldn’t hurt to check
    2
  9008. Hi! It’s possible that it’s not equipped. Contact your dealership and have them check. If it is equipped there might be an issue with it
    2
  9009. Hi! Yes it does
    2
  9010. Try to open the windows all the way down then release and hold the button again for 5 seconds then all the way up and the same release and hold for 5 seconds. Do that on each door of the windows that are saying unknown.
    2
  9011. It really isn’t worth it. With high ethanol fuels like E85 they are cheaper but your gas mileage when using it will be much lower than regular gasoline so there’s a catch with it
    2
  9012. Hi! I don’t think the modifications to use ethanol is worth it honestly. And 0w20 is ok temporarily but the manual states you should go back to 0w16 on the next service
    2
  9013. Congratulations on your purchase! it could be affected by the gas tank issue. Consult your dealership for testing and repair.
    2
  9014. Hi! If memory serves right it’s lunar rock
    2
  9015. That’s very possible that it’s region specific. The information in this video is based on US market Rav4s
    2
  9016. I would need to listen to it to see if it’s normal or not. Record a small video and post the link
    2
  9017. Thank you for watching my video! So your hybrid would be the same as a gasoline car for water damage, except water damage would be much more costly if water gets into the hybrid battery which tends to sit lower in the car. Of course I wouldn't recommend driving any car through high water.
    2
  9018. Hi! It depends on your priority list on options you want. The remote start can be added aftermarket.
    2
  9019. Safety sense is not distracting and most of the features can be actually turned off if they bother you
    2
  9020. Hi Melissa. They started on 2019 model year on some trims.
    2
  9021. Hi! I don’t agree with everything . If you have heavy snow AWD could be helpful. It will add a bit of maintenance but nothing significant
    2
  9022. Hi! The conversion won’t be straight forward as the TC had a one of rear suspension setup. But likely a 2006-2008 since it had the same 4 cylinder engine as your tc
    2
  9023. Hi! They are as reliable. They had a few issues initially but not most of them are resolved.
    2
  9024. Hi! Not through the dealership. Only option is a whole aftermarket unit
    2
  9025. Most of the issues have been resolved in the 2021 model
    2
  9026. Hi! It affects multiple models with the 4Runner being not affected as it doesn’t really have much of the connected features as other models
    2
  9027. Hi! Yes they are fixed with software updates
    2
  9028. Hi! There’s a filter built into the fuel pump which is not serviceable. Not something I would consider replacing
    2
  9029. Hi! I have not run into the roof leak yet. I’ve seen a few body leaks but they were random and don’t resemble a known specific issue. I heard this from many viewers and plan to look into it.
    2
  9030. I hear you. That's the direct injection.
    2
  9031. Certain models are affected by the fuel pump recall. Eventually all of the affected ones will be fixed.
    2
  9032. Thank you for your comment. Toyota does not pay me to say anything in any of my videos and if they ever offer I would refuse. I own this channel and everything that is said in it is my professional opinion as a Toyota master diagnostic technician currently working in the field. Have a nice day.
    2
  9033. Drain some of it out and see if it happens again
    2
  9034. Hi! Yes that’s correct what they told you. It does happen but it also could be an indication that the coolant is a bit overfilled. When the car is fully warmed up is the coolant level at full or above?
    2
  9035. Hi! I personally have not seen any at the dealership where I work.
    2
  9036. Hi! Depending on the severity of it, it could be normal. However I would try to clean the throttle body and see if it resolves it
    2
  9037. Hi! As long as you stay within your towing capacity you’re good. You’ll need to check the weight of the jet ski and the trailer
    2
  9038. Hi! You can opt out at any point by contacting Toyota or simply don’t renew it and it will be deactivated
    2
  9039. Inquire with your dealership on this one.
    2
  9040. Hi! On the connected services. the DCM drain happened regardless if the service was active or not until the software update was done. The DCM is actually a hot spot using a cellular network which is what you pay for when you have connected services. That money is not going to Toyota but going to a cellular provider just like your cell phone.
    2
  9041. Hi! Stability and comfort will be the same honesty.
    2
  9042. Just to clarify this is not a recall or campaign! It’s a simple warranty extension to cover folks who are out of warranty. So it will be a TSB they will go by
    2
  9043. Hi! So far the engine in the RAV4 doesn't have oil consumption issues.
    2
  9044. The software updates on the DCM so far has been just the one that causes the issues. Typically software updates come out when there’s a major issue reported
    2
  9045. Hi! The remote start on the remote will work regardless on subscription or not if the car is equipped with it. If you want to remote start the car from your phone then you’d need a subscription. The battery issue is resolved after the update. And there is a difference between opting out of the service and simply not renewing it. Opting out shuts down your line with the cell supplier, not renewing it keeps everything active but not working.
    2
  9046. Hi! Not as much as before as it’s covered up.
    2
  9047. Hi! That could the vibration that’s a common problem and fixed with the TSB. Take a video and show it to your local dealeship
    2
  9048. 48 is way too high. I would set it at 33-35 cold
    2
  9049. Hi terry! Thank you for watching my review! So the drip molding coming off in a car wash is not acceptable and I would contact Toyota and voice your concern. It’s not a safety or structural issue but it’s annoying and you are a Toyota driver and expect the quality to be at a certain level and rightfully so. Voice your concern to them so they can make fixes to issues big or small.
    2
  9050. Hi Gary. The fire issues are reported on the previous generation 13-18 and the issue is under investigation and I don’t have any additional information other than what’s published. I will add that I haven’t seen a single case of this myself.
    2
  9051. Hi! The 2021 RAV4 should have the updated software already installed so you shouldn’t have the battery draining issues however some of the account issues could still affect it
    2
  9052. Hi Bob. The 2018 has a completely different engine than the 2019. They are the same size but not the same engine. The one in your 2018 is a much simpler engine than the new dynamic force engine in the 2019 and up.
    2
  9053. Interesting. Haven’t seen this one before. It would need to be diagnosed
    2
  9054. Check the drains a few models are having issues
    2
  9055. Hi! Android auto at the dealership level can’t be done unfortunately. On the water is it in the door or inside the car?
    2
  9056. Hi! I have not run into the water leak but will look into ot
    2
  9057. At this time of the year I would definitely wait for a 2022 model year unless you already put the deposit a while back
    2
  9058. Issue is under investigation and no official remedy or word from Toyota yet
    2
  9059. Hi Kathy. The Japan vs other made Toyota used to be an issue but starting 2010 and up they’ve been very similar where I wouldn’t worry about it. No issues if you let the service expire after the free trail and not renew it. Just if possible don’t opt out of it and shut it off all together
    2
  9060. The 2.0 is one that’s also not available in the US if it’s the dynamic force 2.0 then it’s available in the corolla and also is a good engine
    2
  9061. It’s not an issue with the battery it’s a software issue which if you buy a new one it already has the fix
    2
  9062. Hi! This issue affected some 2020 models and I was fixed
    2
  9063. Yes I wouldn’t change it if it has a burnt smell.
    2
  9064. You wouldn’t affect the charcoal canister pumping fuel slowly
    2
  9065. Hi Ramon! So far the newest generation highlander has been pretty problem free. Once I’ve had enough items to make a video I’ll make one
    2
  9066. Hi! The issues seem to be model wise regardless of where they’re made. However if you buy a 2021 model likely all the issues are resolved
    2
  9067. It could be both the transfer case and the differential in this case
    2
  9068. Is it under warranty? If not contact Toyota and see if they’d help
    2
  9069. Hi! that’s a good question. It could progressively get worse but it’s really unknown how long it will take.
    2
  9070. There was a batch of them but I haven’t seen many after the initial burst that affected mostly 19s that I’ve seen
    2
  9071.  @rightlanehog3151  I agree and I truly like the new RAV4. The cars are smaller and lower to the ground with TNGA but that was a needed compromise for the stability of the car. I would love another V6 RAV4 or at least more power. Every time I drive a V6 RAV4 I can't help but smile at the riot that it is
    2
  9072. So far they are reliable. They had a rough start the first 6 months when they came out but the issues have been taken care of
    2
  9073. Hi! They won’t
    2
  9074. The one I reviewed doesn’t come with a built in battery or an option to add one. I would watch reviews
    2
  9075. Hi! Prices will vary by region. At this moment deals are not great on new cars as there’s a shortage
    2
  9076. You don’t have to renew the services just let them expire if you don’t use them. But there’s an option to completely shut them off which I don’t recommend. If you let them expire they are still connected just if you make a call it will ask you to renew
    2
  9077. Hi! I personally have not seen this issue
    2
  9078. Hi! Regardless of which charger or power you use. You are limited by the on board charger of the prime which will only charge at its maximum capacity. The XSE has a bigger on board charger than the SE
    2
  9079. So far no
    2
  9080. Things might be different in Europe but most likely it will come with the A25A
    2
  9081. That’s likely the issue. Quick struts are noisy. Try installing your old ones and see if the noise goes away.
    2
  9082. Hi rob. Did you install quick struts?
    2
  9083. Hi! I’d say 2016-2018 in that generation are the best years if you prefer simplicity. 2019+ if you like the latest technology and many features.
    2
  9084. Interesting. I would report it to Toyota directly
    2
  9085. Hi! Thank you for watching my video. Did you compare the light color to a different car with the same specs?
    2
  9086. P1CCC96
    2
  9087. Hi! We don’t have that trim in my area so my information is very limited on it
    2
  9088. Hi! Likely it won’t fix the door lock but give it a try. It won’t affect anything
    2
  9089. It would have to be an aftermarket remote starter which is possible to install
    2
  9090. I understand. If it’s reported with Toyota Corp then we’ll wait for a fix
    2
  9091. I’ve heard a few reports on this but haven’t seen it yet. I’ll update if anything new comes up
    2
  9092. Hi! It could be traction control. Check in your owners manual if it’s similar
    2
  9093. Hi! Most of the issues are fixed on the 2021 model
    2
  9094. Hi! I would go with what makes financial sense to you. I would love to have you join the Toyota family but also want you to be happy with your purchase. Honda makes good cars as well. I don’t know about the Current Crvs exact track record but they rate pretty well in consumer reports
    2
  9095. Hi! That liquid is actually the condensation from the air conditioning dripping and is completely normal and nothing to worry about. Actually I would worry if you don’t see it when the AC is running for a while as it means that the drain is clogged and then the water would end up inside the car.
    2
  9096. Hi Willem. Very interesting how dealerships are doing that in Holland even though it is clearly recommended in the owners manual to use 0W16.
    2
  9097. Hi! Going from a Camry to a RAV4 you’ll notice more practical cargo space but less space in the cabin for passengers. Going to a highlander you’ll notice more space for passengers and cargo
    2
  9098. Hi! I wouldn’t do heavy off roading and keep an eye on the filters for the hybrid battery fan
    2
  9099. Hi! Congratulations on your purchase and likely you have the nickel metal hydride batter which is tried and true and will last you years to come. Keep an eye on the battery filter and take care of the car and it’ll take care of you.
    2
  9100. Hi! No concrete information yet but the drivetrain is likely unchanged for the most part
    2
  9101. Hi! Your best bet is to wait until your next service appointment if you service the car there and try to calmly chat with the service advisor and ask them if they would reset the transmission memory to see if it improves things
    2
  9102. These are the issues with the radio and transmission that I talked about. The transmission I would try to do a memory reset and see if this improves things. On the radio wait for a new update from toyota
    2
  9103. Hi! What kind of issues are you having with your rav4?
    2
  9104. Hi! The DCM issues seem to have gotten much better
    2
  9105. Hi! Buying out your lease for a 2017 RAV4 is not a bad idea. That’s a very good car. You can easily keep it 10 years just with regular maintenance
    2
  9106. Hi! That could be the normal range. Toyota still have a large reserve when the fuel light come on.
    2
  9107. Hi! I would give it a few minutes and then you're good to go especially in cold weather.
    2
  9108. Most newer models has this issue. However it doesn’t affect the operation of the car. If you are not counting on the phone features than the rest of the car is good
    2
  9109. Hi! Do you mean the DCM issues?
    2
  9110. The lithium ion batteries are lighter and more compact
    2
  9111. Hi! Majority of them have been fixed for the 2022 model year
    2
  9112. Every 60k miles
    2
  9113. Hi! The 2021 has the update pre installed
    2
  9114. Hi! It can be calibrate up to + - 4 mph
    2
  9115. Hi! No issues using eco mode all the time.
    2
  9116. Hi thank you for your comment. I have built countless engines at work and personal. If the technician is experienced with engine work and knows the engine they’re working on there should be no issues. The factory is not as perfect as most assume them to be. Robots are only as good as the error filled humans that designed them. And they do make mistakes. I’ve seen them first hand especially with leaks.
    2
  9117. I would go with a RAV4 or highlander
    2
  9118. It is changes for the better. Need exact information on what they did to be more specific
    2
  9119. Hi! Usually no because the exhaust gets hot and needs to be open to allow air to flow
    2
  9120. Hi! In hybrids it doesn’t really do much learning for the transmission. But in non hybrids it will find a fine medium between the 2 drivers to accommodate both as best as possible
    2
  9121. Hi! That is correct if your driving conditions fall under normal. Look in your maintenance guide for special operating conditions if any of them apply to you then it’s 5k miles or 6 months
    2
  9122. If there was no suspension damage when the accident happened likely it’s body panels only and won’t cause suspension damage. To be on the safe side have the car aligned and if the alignment specifications are good then you have nothing to worry about
    2
  9123. Hi! If the panels are not lining up likely something is still bent or not fixed 100%. Frame damage is not likely the cause but just the overall fit and finish of the repair
    2
  9124. Hi! That generation rav4 did have a common issue with the seal itself failing a bit early and leaking. A new seal that’s updated is available to resolve the issue
    2
  9125. Hi! I am aware of the community concern over the gas tank with the Venza potentially having similar issues as the RAV4 but so far officially from Toyota there’s nothing to confirm that.
    2
  9126. It’s not bad to do that as long as you’re not lugging the engine too low
    2
  9127. It puts a lot of wear on the synchros
    2
  9128. Hi! Nothing different between them that I can think of
    2
  9129. Paint correction and care is not my area of expertise. Search Chicago auto pros on YouTube they’re a very good local shop
    2
  9130. Hi! It could be synchros are wearing down. Try pressing the clutch for a few seconds before shifting and see if it does the same as double clutching
    2
  9131. Imt is very good as it automatically rev matches
    2
  9132. Can’t wait!
    2
  9133. Hi! Just like you would on a regular car just don’t open bleeders and you should be good. Make sure the car is off when you replace the pads
    2
  9134. I really have no answer for that. I would return it and ask
    2
  9135. Hi Eric! You’re all good. Sometimes the fan takes really long to come on. Drive it and check the coolant the next day. Your car is not one that is known to trap air. It’s pretty straight forward so likely you’re good
    2
  9136. Hi! Same way as this video
    2
  9137. Hi! That model doesn’t have maintenance mode as the engine runs all the time. Use a spill free funnel with a long neck to bleed those.
    2
  9138. I wouldn’t honestly. Just replace the coolant and call it a day
    2
  9139. Hi! There’s a difference mainly in body on the 2012 and 2013. The 2013 is the facelift model
    2
  9140. They are separate systems but both use Toyota pink long life coolant for all Toyota and Lexus hybrid models. Except the 1st generation Prius which used red coolant
    2
  9141. It’s fun working with seizes bolts and rusty cars. You do over time develop unique skills of dealing with rust that I imagine mechanics in non rust areas wouldn’t have the opportunity to learn that.
    2
  9142. Will do!
    2
  9143. Hi! It’s exactly the same
    2
  9144. Hi! Up to 8 liters or so
    2
  9145. Hi! If the hybrid battery is failing the car will run with very limited performance and bad gas mileage. I would buy a regular gasoline car before buying a hybrid with a bad battery
    2
  9146. Hi! Some of it will be drained and what’s left is not significant
    2
  9147. Hi! No need to turn the heat on. And I would use original coolant
    2
  9148. Hi! Toyota doesn’t sell a kit with different fasteners but if you look up the parts catalog for their exact location there’s usually only a few styles
    2
  9149. Hi! That’s the realities of the rust belt! It does apply to Lexus hybrids as well and replacement is every 5 years. The first mileage interval is 100k then after that every 50k miles
    2
  9150. Yes that’s the 12v battery not the hybrid one.
    2
  9151. Hi! It could be an issue with the battery. I would get the battery load tested and if it fails replace it if not get it charged
    2
  9152. Yes
    2
  9153. You can do it on ramps.
    2
  9154. I wouldn’t. Heat at full blast will make the car take a much longer time to warm up and open the thermostat. Cars that had a valve you’d need the heat on but not on full blast. Your car doesn’t have a heat valve
    2
  9155. Hi Joseph. So your scion iM is not a hybrid, so no maintenance mode on that one. You’ll drain the fluid, use the spill free funnel to fill up your reservoir and over fill it into the spill free funnel. Then start the engine with the heat off and let it run until the fan comes on twice and you’re all set.
    2
  9156. Hi! I don’t have a video yet for a 2AR will come in the future and for the funnels I put three for different price points they all have the right adapters for your car
    2
  9157. Hi! This procedure is for hybrids. A video for the newer Camry engine will come in the future on the channel.
    2
  9158. I haven’t had good success with this engine and vacuum
    2
  9159. Yep! And this Prius in the video is a pristine example that’s regularly washed but still gets covered with salt.
    2
  9160. In a Prius yes
    2
  9161. Hi! On your Prius C the inverter drain plug should be in front of the radiator. Between the radiator and the transmission. You’ll find a hose with a drain on it
    2
  9162. Hi! Brake fluid replacement is coming in the future.
    2
  9163. Hi! I would just replace the whole coolant. No issues if it hasn’t been replaced before
    2
  9164. Hi! Same kind of coolant. Pink super long life.
    2
  9165. Hi! Every 50k is a good interval
    2
  9166. Hi! Coolant part number 00272SLLC2. Pink cap is new and good. Yellow cap is old
    2
  9167. Hi! They don’t have the bleeder anymore for the inverter coolant. And the reason they want it between low and full is for expansion. As coolant warms up it expands and the level rises and vice versa
    2
  9168. Interesting. Well the inverter will take less but the engine usually takes just over a gallon on its own
    2
  9169. Hi! Usually a bit more than a gallon. Did you bleed it?
    2
  9170. Hi! The 2018 Camry has a slight different procedure to bleed the coolant and the radiator drain for the engine is in a similar location as the prius
    2
  9171. Hi! The first replacement at 100k miles or 5 years. After that every 5 years or 50k miles
    2
  9172. Yes similar
    2
  9173. Hi! 2 gallons will do it. You’ll have around 1/4 gallon left
    2
  9174. Hi! The first replacement at 100k miles or 5 years then after that every 50k miles or 5 years
    2
  9175. Not yet
    2
  9176. Hi! Once I get a car with this cooling system I’ll make a video about it
    2
  9177. Hi! Vacuum filling the coolant on that engine might be an issue because of the closed valves. I would still bleed afterwards. And the motor for the variable valve timing on the A25A needs calibration after it’s installed
    2
  9178. Hi! Usually 5 years or first 100k miles then every 50k afterwards. I would definitely consider replacing it at this time. It’s cheap and very diy.
    2
  9179. Brake fluid?
    2
  9180. It’s the coolant for the inverter
    2
  9181. At this point the system is overheating and you’ll need to check the water pumps and make sure they are working
    2
  9182. Hi yes it does
    2
  9183. Hi! You’ll need to check for combustion gases in the coolant. Nothing common on coolant loss
    2
  9184. That could be normal
    2
  9185. Yea Toyota dealerships rarely do a flush unless there’s a contamination
    2
  9186. Hi! If it’s unopened it should be good but if it’s opened I would discard and get new.
    2
  9187. Hi! In the case of hybrids it should be off. Very few models you’d need the heater on for bleeding.
    2
  9188. They were enough for the Prius
    2
  9189. Hi! I personally would replace the engine oil every 6 months. I would read into the maintenance guide and pay special attention to any special operating conditions and their additional maintenance needs and compare those operating conditions to your driving to make the best maintenance choices.
    2
  9190. Techinfo.Toyota.com
    2
  9191. Hi! Ideally every 5 years or 50k miles
    2
  9192. Hi mark! So the pumps will come on and start circulating coolant as soon as you turn the car on. If the pump is not running you won’t get circulation so you’re not at risk of damaging the pump and if the temperature rises the pump will come on and circulate the coolant. That’s why I mentioned that you want to wait until the cooling fans come on twice which means the engine is at operating temperature and the 2nd time is to verify.
    2
  9193. Hi! Flushes are not recommended unless there’s contamination. And I would replace the coolant for the inverter
    2
  9194. There’s actually 2 radiators one for the hybrid system one for the engine
    2
  9195. This works on your Camry. Some models won’t say maintenance mode but that is maintenance mode what you described
    2
  9196. Hi! That’s an exception and I plan to make a video for it in the future. The inverter part is the same but the engine part is different
    2
  9197. If emanuals don’t have it then techinfo.Toyota.com you can’t download it just print pages and it’s a bit pricey
    2
  9198. Hi! This procedure works 100% with the RAV4 hybrids. I will release a video next week on hybrid transmission fluid replacement which would complete all the maintenance needed on a Toyota hybrid DIY
    2
  9199. Hi! For the inverter coolant you don’t need to be in maintenance mode. But for the engine coolant you do.
    2
  9200. Will do once I get one in the garage
    2
  9201.  @4runninxit423  the 5VZ has the same thing in the front. It’s not a must but if you have both the timing belt and the valve covers off I would definitely reseal the cap
    2
  9202. Yes of course! You were one of the 12
    2
  9203. Yes you can and I would to see how long it takes to come back
    2
  9204. Hi! Likely not. If it lasted this long without issues then the job was done right and you won’t see this leak again for a very long time if ever
    2
  9205. This one was 15-16
    2
  9206. Hi! No problems yet that I’ve seen just the remote start inop needing a handshake
    2
  9207. Hi! It’s not ideal but it shouldn’t be a major issue
    2
  9208. Hi! Can’t really put a mileage or time on it. Some leak at as low as 15-30k miles some go over 200k without any leaks. FWD and AWD are almost similar
    2
  9209. That is the opposite of what should happen. If you pressurize the system the pin will come off and unlock the gear. It should lock once the engine shuts off and the oil drains back
    2
  9210. I haven’t seen that.
    2
  9211. It’s very difficult to get it out the top.
    2
  9212. Usually around 2.5-3k
    2
  9213. Hi! This repair is permanent if the technician is experienced and prep the surface correctly. If they’ve done this job before they would know how to prep the surface otherwise it will leak again within a year or less which is within the warranty period. Make sure to check it again less than a year. If It’s good then you’re all set
    2
  9214. Hi! It seems to affect specific models more than others and it doesn’t have to do with made in Japan or not. For example the ES350, Camry and Avalon are not that affected by this when compared to the RX,highlander and/or sienna.
    2
  9215. You can do this repair in the car without removing the engine. Just need to drop the front differential to be able to remove the sub pan
    2
  9216. Hi! For transmission sealer Toyota has the orange /red FIPG.
    2
  9217. 😂 that’s quite the hourly labor rate!
    2
  9218. If memory serves right it had around 80k miles. And it costs around 2.5-3k not much parts but most of it is labor
    2
  9219. Hi! Around 8-10 hours
    2
  9220. 80w90 GL5 from Mobil
    2
  9221. Overfilling won’t cause this one.
    2
  9222. Hi my brother. So as long as it’s not getting on the belt and being thrown around you’re ok. You’ll likely never see a measurable oil loss on the dipstick unless it gets super bad where it’s dripping as soon as you start the engine which is highly unlikely to happen. If it gets on the belt then I would consider fixing it. Then it can start causing the alternator to fail.
    2
  9223. Hi! I’m doing well thank you! How about you? I wouldn’t worry. You’re still within factory warranty. I would however check it for leaks. If you see any bring it up to the dealerships attention so they can take care of it.
    2
  9224. If you’re in the US 0w20 full synthetic
    2
  9225. Usually around that range 2.5-3k
    2
  9226. Honestly this one is a tough one to answer. You’ll want to compare the short block numbers between the two cars to see if they mate tk the same transmission
    2
  9227. As long as it’s from a compatible car, you’ll reuse your wiring harness and ecu so there shouldn’t be any issues
    2
  9228. Hi! You’ll need a chain wrench and a really REALLY long breaker bar. If this doesn’t work then you have no choice but to heat it up and possibly need to replace the plastic cover behind it and the crank seal.
    2
  9229. Hi! It took around 8-10 hours and usually costs around 2.5-3k and the owner of this one didn’t pay anything the extended warranty covered it
    2
  9230. Usually the ones that leak early are due to oil contaminated surfaces. The sealer works very well if the surface is 100% oil free. So cleaning is essential and triple checking the area before installing the cover.
    2
  9231. By memory.
    2
  9232. You can make your own or this table is around $1600. It’s actually a Nissan special tool but works well on Toyota and more
    2
  9233. Hard to tell some last 200k some last 30k. Replacing the spark pigs on time every 120k miles helps keep the coils goijg
    2
  9234. I would still make sure everything else is good
    2
  9235. Hi! Toyota sealer. It’s called FIPG or form in place gasket
    2
  9236. Usually 15-18 hours of labor
    2
  9237. Ironically it’s a Nissan SST but it works really well. It looks the sub frame in the back so it’s very stable. The number for the tool is J-47242 and you can see it here https://www.tillmantools.com/J-47242-Engine-Support-Table-Kent-Moore-p/kmtj-47242.htm
    2
  9238. No. The water pump is easy. You get to it from the side with the engine in. Plan to film a water pump replacement when I get one
    2
  9239. Hi! So far the GR is staying at least for the current generation with the latest updated version. The new 3.5 v6 might be a replacement at some point
    2
  9240. Hi! Usually water pump plugs and drive belt. Some people go all out and replace the chain guides and even head gaskets which there isn’t much to get to them
    2
  9241. Hi! The front one is easy. The rear one is a bit more involved but still not hard for a professional. Should be likely up to 3 hours for both
    2
  9242. Some of them do but at a lesser degree
    2
  9243. Hi! We had a batch of them leak at very low mileage but lately I haven’t seen much

  9244. Hi! Usually around 2.5-3k and not all of them leak. Usually this leak the engine is born with. If there’s absolutely no signs of leaks at this point I’d say you’re good
    2
  9245. That sounds pretty normal to me. I hear what you are referring to but that’s a normal characteristic of this truck. Some of them are even louder than that.
    2
  9246. Hi! Couldn’t open the videos could you upload them to YouTube?
    2
  9247. In this case it’s just starting but when it gets to a point where it does it every single time you start the car cold or hot then it’s a concern
    2
  9248. Hi! That was the one issue with this engine that got things real expensive. Does it do it everytime or only when it sits for long?
    2
  9249. Hi! The Venza doesn’t have as high of rate of leak. Honestly at this age if it’s not leaking already it likely won’t any time soon.
    2
  9250. Hi! If the fluid has been replaced before yes otherwise I would leave it alone at this mileage
    2
  9251. Hi sam! Yes you need to lift it up. If you lift right near the drain plug you’re good. That’s strongest area of the oil pan as well as the edges. If you lift it in the middle it could get crushed
    2
  9252. Hi! The 2nd gen Tacoma had the old 1GR-FE updated slightly for 2011 and up
    2
  9253. The newer engine is nit worth using premium
    2
  9254. Hi! Koyo bearings are comparable to oem.
    2
  9255. They are different as the FJ has different tuning
    2
  9256. I would check them for play every oil change. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it but check them regularly at every service
    2
  9257. Hi! You can but make sure the installer is a good one
    2
  9258. Hi! You’ll want to remove the carrier and check pinion contact patch and go from there. Not very diy
    2
  9259. Hi! The issue is the cats in this case. Other than polluting the environment it won’t have an effect on the way the engine runs
    2
  9260. Good idea! I’ll look into it
    2
  9261. Hi! Whichever lift you get you’ll want to check your axle angles to make sure they’re not stretched
    2
  9262. Hi! They do tend to do that sometimes with color. That same hot pink is sometimes used on brake pads
    2
  9263. Most manufacturers are moving towards rapid warm up engines with similar technology. Toyota is actually some of the later ones to start doing this
    2
  9264. Hi! The 2.5 is 120k for the spark plugs. And they have a high tech cooling system which allows for a rapid warm up
    2
  9265. Hi! It wouldn’t affect anything. However don’t use a lot as it could cause issues
    2
  9266. Hi! I don’t have personal experience with tunes on the 2GR but of course like with any modifications reliability is affected. On the transmission they’re pretty tough but the fluid kills them usually.
    2
  9267. Hi! Yes more tundra content planned.
    2
  9268. Hi! It’s the same for 19 Camry v6 they are iridium plugs just required at 60k
    2
  9269. Hi! For the spark plugs 120k 10 years. For the brake flush needs testing but on average around every 3 years. On the cvt fluid every 60k or 6 years
    2
  9270. Hi! It’s actually a limitation of design. Because if they left it on you can easily bypass it and keep the car running then theft could become an issue.
    2
  9271. I will film a video in the future for this. In the meantime you can head over to techinfo.Toyota.com and access the repair manual and get step by step instructions.
    2
  9272. Hi! It’s almost the same as the Tacoma one. Minor differences for the different mounting
    2
  9273. Hi! Don’t check gaps on iridium plugs as they get damaged. Original plugs come pre gapped for the application
    2
  9274. Hi! I would just replace it once.
    2
  9275. They have very good resale value as long as they’re not rusty. However the 2WD model will have a slight lower resale value as the 4WD models are the most desirable
    2
  9276. These are really good trucks especially with the v8. Just make sure it’s not rusty as they get really bad with rust.
    2
  9277. Hi! At this moment I am not taking emails as I’m really backed up. Leave your questions as a comment or join the weekly livestream on Saturday at 7pm central time
    2
  9278. Hi! You should be good with the different size tire just make sure all 4 are the same size and same tire kind. 32-35 psi is good
    2
  9279. Hi! They’re the same
    2
  9280. Hi! No gap setting needed. Iridium plugs come pre gapped especially the original ojes
    2
  9281. The second one 1717631130
    2
  9282. Hi! I hear you. Some jobs tend to turn into a nightmare quick. You shouldn’t have issues with the spark plugs. No known bolts to break.
    2
  9283. Hi! You’ll want to enter your vin number on parts.Toyota.com and search for the surge tank gasket
    2
  9284. Hi! Thank you for watching. Not yet, I will make one when it’s possible
    2
  9285. Good catch! Thanks corrected.
    2
  9286. Hi! They could vary by model so look them up on parts.Toyota.com
    2
  9287. Get a short subscription on techinfo.Toyota.com for all instructions
    2
  9288. A standard 5” extension
    2
  9289. Hi! It’s setup a bit differently. I’ll have a video specific to the Tacoma
    2
  9290. You can go with the same rating. And something is not right about that life time warranty
    2
  9291. Wow! That hurts!
    2
  9292. Trade it in and move on. With car prices today someone will buy it. If it’s a private seller disclose the information you know about it
    2
  9293. Hi! Unfortunately that program has a limit of time and mileage. If the dealership and/or Toyota can’t help unfortunately a rebuild is needed.
    2
  9294. This is an epic idea! I love it! I’ll announce it in the livestream
    2
  9295. He lost his license because of the DUI which he got in the loaner
    2
  9296. Very good suggestion! Soon I will be filming some diy tips and tricks. Kinda of a series but not one after another to keep it mixed for everyone I’ll include safety in there
    2
  9297. There’s no official answer on this one. However I would recommend you follow your manual recommendation in your country.
    2
  9298. They work on some of the spin ons as well including your Prius c or any model with the F1 F2 or N1 oil filter.
    2
  9299. Hi! You can get a regular oil filter strap or get the original one that is used on the canister style filter. It will also fit your filter
    2
  9300. Hi! Your car requires full synthetic oil. So that’s the only one I would go with.
    2
  9301. Hi! On the drain plug I wouldn’t use the valve. Sure it could work fine but you’re resting the life of your engine on a valve hopefully not failing one day. Not worth the risk in my opinion. The housing you can switch to metal however torquing the plastic one to spec will make it last the life of the truck.
    2
  9302. No risk
    2
  9303. Hi! I wouldn’t overfill it. Add the correct amount
    2
  9304. Hi! While the car is under warranty and if an issue comes up that the dealerships Deems oil change related they could ask for maintenance records and it could be from an outside shop. But if you do your oil changes in between the 10k oil changes using original filter you shouldn’t have an issue with the dealership.
    2
  9305. The order really doesn’t make a difference. I pulled the filter out first for the purposes of this video.
    2
  9306. Hi! The bluepoint one is good but expensive and if you’re going to pay that much might as well get the original tool.
    2
  9307. That area behind the gasket is generally clean from the previous gasket. Only time I would clean it is when it’s been to some quick lube places that put a yellow sealer around it.
    2
  9308. I personally would.
    2
  9309. Many theories on why, one of them that makes sense is to reduce waste and make recycling easier.
    2
  9310. Hi! Under the free maintenance they won’t change it. But you can ask them to change it and pay for the oil change at 5k
    2
  9311. Hi! If it’s completely missing it could cause an issue but if it’s leaking slightly no
    2
  9312. This model corolla doesn’t come with insulation from the factory. Cost is likely a factor in why it doesn’t have it
    2
  9313. Hi Jim. The center piece should be the same from what I see on aftermarket filters. But if the aftermarket filter is different that one I wouldn’t know about.
    2
  9314. Honestly I wouldn’t. The canister filter does the job good and the plastic housing if not overtightened easily will last the life of the car
    2
  9315. I hear you Stephane. The drain plug bolt doesn’t fall even if it’s loose. It takes a lot of time for it to actually come completely loose and fall and long before that it will be dripping and you’ll know.
    2
  9316. Before you get it out I would first go get a new canister as I wouldn’t trust this one anymore. Get the Toyota filter wrench that I listed here as that’s the only one that can take a beating. Use the biggest breaker bar you got and if you have access to compressed air use an impact. But if you have to use a breaker bar or impact to remove it, you have to replace the canister so have one in handy.
    2
  9317. Hi! When you say the filter cam. Do you mean the drain cap or whole canister?
    2
  9318. I would wait up to 5 minute but really 1 minute should do iy
    2
  9319. Hi! Pre filling the filter is not possible on the side filters. And your corolla should have a spin on filer. Tighten it until it stops.
    2
  9320. Hi Armando. That’s actually very little consumption and I wouldn’t worry about it at this point. If all of a sudden it increases then run an engine oil cleaner
    2
  9321. Not really
    2
  9322. Hi! 90915-YZZN1 for both
    2
  9323. You can drain it however if you loosen the filter a bit it will drain. The filter housing cracks when you over tighten it. If it’s never overtightened it should last the lift of the car.
    2
  9324. The original filter tool is the best! But it’s pricey
    2
  9325. Very good practice
    2
  9326. Hi Jose! I still do if you plan to keep the car long
    2
  9327. So the original filter wrench catches the notched portions on the face of the filter. Never had slipped before but the aftermarket ones that grab the end of the filter are good too
    2
  9328. Hi! There’s only one size filter wrench for the canister style filters. And actually that same wrench from Toyota fits on a lot of other filters namely the F2 N1 F1 spin on filters as well. It wouldn’t hurt to fill the filter with oil if possible but not a must.
    2
  9329. Hi! Cold is ok it just takes the oil longer to drain so I would leave it to drain for a bit longer
    2
  9330. Hi! I would use the gasket in this case. This water pump came designed to be used with a conventional gasket and not a sealer
    2
  9331. Hi! On the tundra it doesn’t matter which order you do it at.
    2
  9332. I would keep doing exactly what you’ve been doing! Castrol is good oil and 5k intervals are great!
    2
  9333. You can use 5w30 without issues in your case
    2
  9334. I would change the filter as well.
    2
  9335. It’s not a must. But it’s a good reminder that comes on every 5000 miles.
    2
  9336. Hi! Yes
    2
  9337. Thank you for watching my channel! I’m working on getting the fake parts and will make a video on it once I have enough parts to show.
    2
  9338. Hi! The drain plug is the same as the video and on the spin on filter hand tighten until it stops
    2
  9339. Hi! Yes it shouldn’t be an issue
    2
  9340. Hi! Many parts stores and shops will take your used oil to recycle it.
    2
  9341. Interesting. Haven’t seen that part number usually it’s 90915-YZZN1
    2
  9342. Hi! The 2nd o ring rarely gets changed honestly. I haven’t seen one leak from age yet. I personally would stick with the original filters
    2
  9343. That’s typical rust for a 7 year old car in Chicago. It’s not actually not that bad as it’s all surface rust. Welcome to the rust belt 😀
    2
  9344. If the cap is a screw on cap the gasket is the same. The 1/4 turn cap is different.
    2
  9345. Hi! Typically mechanics that overnighted them use a very long ratchet and crank on them.
    2
  9346. Hi! I would go oem. Don’t see the real world benefit of the Trd filters
    2
  9347. Hi! If oil changes are done on time I don’t see a need for one but it doesn’t hurt
    2
  9348. Hi! The CT is exactly as you mentioned a Prius in a tuxedo. Both are very good cars with exceptional gas mileage. It really comes down to your preference on looks.
    2
  9349. Hi! It works but honestly I don’t see a problem with the canister to warrant replacing it
    2
  9350. Hi! After a normal 30 minute drive the engine should be warmed up
    2
  9351. Hi! The noise could be normal and I would have to listen to it. The 2gr is loud when it’s cold and that’s normal. The codes if history I’m not worried about but if they do come back up can be an oil control valve which is not very experience to replace
    2
  9352. Your RAV4 does have toe adjustment in the back. Camber can be made adjustable but not much.
    2
  9353. Totally hear you. Every single time and every single tundra every tech feels the same way.
    2
  9354. Hi! The 13 corolla and 21 RAV4 will have the same one. The 2004 sienna will have a different one which I also have made by snap on but here’s a version that’s cheaper Motivx Tools Engine Oil Funnel for Toyota, Lexus, and Scion Vehicles with Half Turn Adapter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07WSHN59B/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_NCBcGbH192P3V
    2
  9355. Hi! It’s exactly the same. The Prius will have a similar setup to the one in the video.
    2
  9356. Dealerships oils can vary from Mobil 1 the bulk that they use. But Toyota’s bottled oil is made by Mobil 1 and doesn’t specific which exact Mobil 1 kind it is.
    2
  9357. Hi! You can use 5w20 but 5w30 is proffered
    2
  9358. No that’s normal don’t worry.
    2
  9359. Yeah that’s correct. Toyota is always like that.
    2
  9360. I can. On all hybrids if you run them out of fuel you’ll shut down the hybrid system and set trouble codes which have to be erased before the engine can be started.
    2
  9361. Hi! Go with the torque spec honestly
    2
  9362. Hi! No need to pre fill the filter and if it’s original filter it already comes with grease on the o ring
    2
  9363. Hi! The dealership is overcharging for that oil!
    2
  9364. Hi! I don’t really know much about Mazda reliability but the later Camry transmissions are much better as they have the latest software from the factory.
    2
  9365. Hi Andrew! Thank you for watching!
    2
  9366. Thank you! Next live stream will be on January 30th I will announce it soon.
    2
  9367. That’s actually very true with hybrids. Still remember the last junior mechanic who’s doing their first oil change on a Prius and that happened. It sucks when the engine starts as the engine oil is draining. Another one is remote starts that are not installed properly and don’t have a hood switch.
    2
  9368. Hi! Typically it’s misdiagnosed as a timing chain tensioner leak and ends up being a front timing cover. I would replace the gas on the tensioner first and see but most of the time it’s a front timing cover leaking. I can do a video on it once I get a car to film with
    2
  9369. Depending on the warranty laws in your country, you can do the oil changes yourself for sure
    2
  9370. I would still change it that often on hybrids as well as they are also big offenders of oil consumption when not maintained at good intervals.
    2
  9371. I think they are both good options but not better than original
    2
  9372. Hi! Unless there’s an issue directly related to the diy work typically no. Check your local area laws as some states have laws for this to protect you
    2
  9373. It shouldn’t matter if the engine is hot or cold but hot will be slightly easier
    2
  9374. On that engine not a big issue. Slightly overfilled but it should be ok. If in doubt drain a little bit.
    2
  9375. Hi! It won’t if it’s done right with the correct filter and good quality oil
    2
  9376. Hi Corey. The original filter does come with a white plastic drain that you can use but it’ll still make a mess. On the ones with the drain take the filter slowly until it starts to drain and let it finish before taking it all the way out.
    2
  9377. Thank you Stephen! We can talk about options as we go more into spring and summer.
    2
  9378. Hi! Check it after the service is done. That is honestly the best way. Check a day or two after for leaks. If the level is correct and no leaks I’d call that a success honestly
    2
  9379. Yep. Whole garage smelled terrible after making this video
    2
  9380. Hi! The drain plug yes the filter hand tighten it
    2
  9381. Hi! Congratulations on your sienna purchase! I would replace the coolant the first time around 100k miles or 5 years. That seems to be the best time table for replacement without causing issues.
    2
  9382. Drain plug is 30 ft-lbs and the filter is 13 ft-lbs
    2
  9383. This video is planned and coming in the future.
    2
  9384. Hi Jim! Oil expands as it warms up and when filled to full when cold it will actually be overfilled when hot. Try it. After a good drive when the oil is fully warmed up shut off the engine for a minute and check the level. I would leave it somewhere half way on the dipstick when it’s fully cold.
    2
  9385. There are multiple part numbers for the same thing. As long as it’s blue then you’re good
    2
  9386. Here’s the transmission one the coolant video is coming in the future https://youtu.be/eRxSu4-4ojo
    2
  9387. That does happen to the blue one all the time.
    2
  9388. I would use 0w20 then. No issues using it.
    2
  9389. Hi! That engine is not sold in my area so I’m not familiar with it. I would look in the owners manual
    2
  9390. Honestly not really. The engines that pre filling the oil filter is not possible last exactly the same long time as the ones that you can.
    2
  9391. The transmission fluid replacement is very easy on Toyota sealed transmissions. Maybe for DIY mechanics it seems hard but for a professional mechanic it’s not a difficult process or an involved one. Dealerships will be well equipped to handle a simple transmission fluid change and a fluid level check...
    2
  9392. I do have one! https://youtu.be/eRxSu4-4ojo this is the exact same procedure just use Toyota CVt fluid
    2
  9393. It should be right around 4.4 quarts
    2
  9394. Not yet on the 4th generation. Honestly the 4th generation is really doing well. Examples with 200k have surfaced and nothing, they run well.
    2
  9395. Honestly I would go with the mechanic you trust. doesn't have to be a dealership as there are many good independent mechanics out there.
    2
  9396. I’d still change it every 6 months
    2
  9397. The 2GR seems much more resistant to oil consumption. But does develop issues with vvti oil control valves with oil contamination
    2
  9398. email me with the subject Chicago service request when youre ready
    2
  9399. Hi! It would fit larger firearm and rifles. Not sure if it'd fit a 9mm honestly.
    2
  9400. It could've been not realy sure
    2
  9401. Hi! It has oil sludge and was losing oil pressure and knocking. Lack of maintenance
    2
  9402. The dealership can but they’ll want to borescope it first to see how the cylinder walls are
    2
  9403. Hi! You could be ok just make sure you use good quality oil and filter
    2
  9404. Hi! That’s actually not bad at all. Run an engine oil cleaner and see if it helps
    2
  9405. Hi! I would change it every 5k miles OR 6 months whichever comes first
    2
  9406. Hi! Honestly unless you drive repeated short trips it’s not something that’s going to add much benefit
    2
  9407. Hi! Thank you for your comment. The engine that was under the campaign was the 2AZ-FE. The engine in this car is the 2AR-FE. Two different engines. Have a nice day.
    2
  9408. Hi! It all has to do with how the car was maintained
    2
  9409. Honestly by the time you do all that work, you're past the price of the car. And might be better just to get a short block new.
    2
  9410. I was just talking about the video today, will film it soon and post it
    2
  9411. If things got better you’re good and have nothing to worry about.
    2
  9412. Hi! The difference that you notice. Is it to the better or worse?
    2
  9413. Hi! Pistons and rings with updated parts. The price will depend on the labor rate
    2
  9414. That's what he decided to go with. I did the brakes and I asked him to keep an eye on the oil level and start on a 3000 mile 3 month oil change regiment and hope for the best.
    2
  9415. Hi! Honestly it depends on which options you need. both are mechanically similar
    2
  9416. Hi! There’s a utility in the scan tool to do that.
    2
  9417. Hi! Unfortunately I cannot speak of specifics of recalls on my channel.
    2
  9418. Hi! I am middle eastern. I shared a bit about my background in this video https://youtu.be/fw8LexpoXxI
    2
  9419. Hi! On that engine 2 studs that hold the valve cover actually are valve cover bolts. You’d want to see if it broke completely off or just the part that holds the cover
    2
  9420. Hi. Yes it's normal and in the winter you want to leave it on fresh air.
    2
  9421. That pop was a mystery. possibly some oil mixed with gas pooled in the intake that went into the cylinder and created that pop.
    2
  9422. Those are typical new model issues limited to the first batch. that's why i usually recommend you wait a bit before buying a new model
    2
  9423. Hi! Actually time is the most important thing! If you don't reach 5000 miles in 6 months it means that you do very little driving so you are likely doing repeated short trips in most cases which is what starts issues.
    2
  9424. It's the same here but then they list a lot of conditions which would revert you back to 5000 miles ( around 8000 kms )
    2
  9425. By the time you do all that work might as well buy a new block
    2
  9426. Yes that will woek
    2
  9427. Hi! Either replace the connector or use a dab of engine sealer to secure them. they will vibrate out and cause issues if you leave them as is. On this car i used sealer to secure them. the sealer stays soft because it's not glue so next time you need to pull the connector off, it comes right out.
    2
  9428. Hi! I would change it. never look at oil that looks clean and call it a day. You don't want oil to get dirty before you change it, negates the reason why you're changing it. You want to change oil before it gets super dirty so it won't start the contamination inside.
    2
  9429. Hi! At this point there’s damage to the cylinder wall a flush is not going to help
    2
  9430. Hi! It shouldn't contact it enough to make noise. Possibly something is bent. compare it to the other side for reference and have your alignment checked.
    2
  9431. Hi! I would replace the fluid. You can’t flush those just drain and fill
    2
  9432. Hi! If it doesn’t have cylinder wall damage then try engine oil cleaners to see if they can free up the piston rings
    2
  9433. Honestly Time seems to do more harm to oil than good mileage. Cars that are not driven often tend to be driven short distances and that's what starts problems with oils. Better quality oils will fare better with that kind of conditions but then you're spending more for oil that lasts longer but not getting the same results as just changing it every 6 months and not having to wonder if everything is good or not.
    2
  9434. Hi! They do not on modern engines
    2
  9435. Hi! Honestly new model issues. Nothing to be super concerned about. The “Legend” V8 tundra has worse issues the first few months when it came out in 2007. They’ll get resolved quickly and you won’t hear about them again. This truck is getting too much press coverage that’s why everyone is worried.

  9436. Hi! In a perfect world replace the connector. In a more realistic scenario use a bit of silicone sealer to hold the connector in place
    2
  9437. Hi! Depends. For example a body computer will not get the same. But an engine computer for the same engine could be the same
    2
  9438. Run a wet compression test to see if it comes up to see if it's ring related but in this case I know it's ring related.
    2
  9439. Hi! Yes that’s a 2AR-FE 2.5l
    2
  9440. Lack of maintenance and the engine sludged up
    2
  9441. Not a common one but it can be fixed. I’d bring it up to the dealerships attention if it’s under warranty
    2
  9442. Hi! I don’t have a lot of information on dyes of leather seats
    2
  9443. Hi! I think it’s too early for that age. If you are approaching 36k in a 2021 that’s higher than usual miles likely you don’t have any build up at this driving style
    2
  9444. Hi! The covers are there for the RAV4 but nit the cat
    2
  9445. Hi! Yes it does have 3 generators so regen is faster
    2
  9446. Yes on the coils no on the valve cover it’s still aluminum on the non hybrid variants
    2
  9447. Hi! It depends on the model and I’d need to check the exact spec
    2
  9448. Hi! They are relatively diy friendly unless you get into the high voltage systems which is not something you’ll be working on for a long time
    2
  9449. Hi! On hybrids it’s not an issue to replace it late
    2
  9450. Hi! If you don’t mind the eco tires handling then for the Prius that’s the best tire to keep the same fuel economy going
    2
  9451. Smooth but not quiet honestly
    2
  9452. Hi! Thank you! The battery cooling can operate independently from the rest of the hvac functions
    2
  9453. Hi! It’s possible and the battery can be opened
    2
  9454. The block heater will need continuous power to work as soon as you turn it off the heat will be consumed rapidly and not replenished. Also the system by software won’t even operate below 14 F so it would just turn on the engine to keep the heat going
    2
  9455. Hi! The idea of this video is to give a general idea of how the thing works. I could do a full video of exact details of how it switches the flow inside the battery to use one line as supply and one line as return.
    2
  9456. I would use the charge schedule which would make your life easier than unplugging it at a certain point
    2
  9457. Hi! Good catch! I was waiting for someone to see this. So this is one that is not clear and not published. But here’s the explanation that we got. It uses one line to supply and the other to return and flips back and forth as there’s a 3rd valve inside the battery. And the battery heater is electric just turns on and off by command of the computer
    2
  9458. Hi! Many have the same issue. So far no solution on this one
    2
  9459. Thank you!
    2
  9460. Hi! On your check engine light you’ll need a code reader to get the codes and we’ll know better what’s going on
    2
  9461. Hi! I am backed up on emails. I’ll get to your email in the order it was received thank you
    2
  9462. You will see in this series the lengths they had to do to cope with the total randomness of combustion.
    2
  9463. Hi! So most manufacturers did have obd2 ready cars before 1996 in anticipation for the implementation of the system but it was mandatory in 1996
    2
  9464. Hi! That’s a 2021 Toyota Venza hybrid
    2
  9465. Hi! You’d want a scan tool that can read codes and data and possibly read other computers like abs and air bag. I’m researching this and will make a video with recommendations
    2
  9466. Hi! Later in this series we’ll look at some live data to reinforce some of the information to see how it actually looks. Also Toyota offers many tech support to dealership technicians from live talk with the engineering department to in person visits.
    2
  9467. Hi! Yes the obd2 information applies to the engine side of a hybrid car
    2
  9468. Hi! Honestly it’s still unclear what’s causing the head gasket failures and why some of them go to 300k without a failure
    2
  9469. Hi! So that is the ideal mixture ratio. Lean will have more air or less fuel and Rich will have more fuel or less air.
    2
  9470. Most Toyota engines in aluminum blocks are not serviceable due to thin cylinder wall lining.
    2
  9471. Hi! This code is not a simple one to diagnose in this format as it could be many things. A faulty air fuel ratio sensor could cause or even engine mechanical issues
    2
  9472. You got it! It’s on the list. I just need to test a few readers.
    2
  9473. It’s ok at those speeds if you can drop it to 60-70 you’ll get better gas mileage out of them
    2
  9474. Hi! Try rotating the front tires side to side and see if it changes
    2
  9475. Hi! You could but you need to be careful as you’ll be working with high voltage.
    2
  9476. Hi! At those speeds they do very well.
    2
  9477. Hi! Different markets will have different requirements. Does your owners manual specify 5w30? And if the hybrid battery has an issue the car will still run but the engine will run all the time
    2
  9478. Hi! For a softer ride Michelin primacy is good
    2
  9479. Hi! We’ll wait and see until it comes out but I think the better gas mileage is a bit inprovement
    2
  9480. Hi! You’ll have multiple warning lights and trouble code P0A80 and the engine will run all the time.
    2
  9481. Hi! That is normal. The harder you brake the more regen braking happens until it maxes out then the regular brakes kick in
    2
  9482. Hi! The oil is different as the toyota/Lexus oil is made by Mobil but to toyota specifications for their engines. And I would change it every 5k miles or 6 months
    2
  9483. Hi! On the storage it’s not ideal for the hybrid battery long term. If you plan to keep this car past 7 years this could be an issue. Otherwise it’s not. For the EMF it’s not my field of expertise but those who are commented that it’s insignificant to cause any harm
    2
  9484. Hi! Yes it is being charged slightly in that scenario
    2
  9485. Hi! 0w20
    2
  9486. Hi! At 60k replace the spark plugs and transmission fluid. And for tires if you got good life from the original tires and you’re happy with them I would get the same. Otherwise look for Michelins for comfort and a quiet ride. Bridgestone for a sportier ride but rougher ride
    2
  9487. Hi! If you run out of gas on a hybrid and it shuts off completely you’ll set codes that you need to erase before restarting the car. So if this something that could happen carry a code reader with you
    2
  9488. Hi Shaun. Unfortunately the hybrid battery can’t be disconnected easily. If you keep this car 5-7 years you shouldn’t have issues but if you want to keep it longer stick with a non hybrid
    2
  9489. Hi! I’m starting to look into the newest honda hybrids. Videos will come in the future on the 2nd channel. The original insight was not a true hybrid. It was more of an assist
    2
  9490. Hi! At some point they were similar. Today they’re very good but just a bit less than toyota especially long term with all the turbo engines and direct injection only.
    2
  9491. Hi! Turbo engines will always have a slight disadvantage of reliability when compared to non turbo. However with good maintenance it shouldn’t be a significant difference
    2
  9492. Hi! Brakes last so long because hybrids use regenerative braking most of the time so you hardly actually use the mechanical brakes. And the buzz it makes when you open the door is the brake actuator charging up to get ready for use
    2
  9493. Hi! It is not as good as city driving but still very good compared to a gasoline only model
    2
  9494. Hi! Hybrids do not have a conventional starter or alternator. One of the electric motors starts the engine and the DC-DC converter changes the high voltage to 12v to charge the battery
    2
  9495. Hi! It wouldn’t affect it honestly.
    2
  9496. Hi! The engine can be steam cleaned but avoid direct spray on electrical connectors. On the hose that is a coolant vent hose and if you don’t spray directly into it, it shouldn’t be an issue
    2
  9497. Hi! Yes they would work for that purpose
    2
  9498. Hi! On the passenger side of the rear seat. I have a video for it. Search car care nut corolla hybrid fan filter and you’ll find it
    2
  9499. Hi! It would be a good idea to get a plug in but every few weeks don’t charge it and run the gasoline engine to use it
    2
  9500. Hi! Excessive speeds past 90mph yes it’s not good. But normal speeds up to 80mph it’s ok
    2
  9501. Hi! That battery around 4-5 years with some going at long as 7 years
    2
  9502. Hi! It is ok. Avoid direct pressure at electrical connectors and dry them off with compressed air if possible and you should be good
    2
  9503. Chicago area
    2
  9504. Behind the intake the Manifold on the block where the pcv valve is
    2
  9505. Hi! That engine does have an oil separator so unless it burns oil it doesn’t really do much
    2
  9506. Hi! If you are removing the cooler then yes clamp the lines
    2
  9507. Hi! The wire harness modification is hardly a modification it’s just to extend it a bit. The software update can be checked if it’s the latest with techstream. The oil separator is behind the intake and the pcv valve bolts on to it. Before you any work, pressurize the cooling system and use a camera to look into the cylinder for water droplets as it can be a head gasket issue.
    2
  9508. Hi! The 4th generation did get an updated egr system and so far so good. The software update does limit or eliminate the issues by changing the way the egr system operating.
    2
  9509. Thank you and welcome back to tube land! Keep up the good work at TMMI!
    2
  9510. Hi! You’ll need a techstream lite which is a 500 dollar cable connects to any laptop. Then you can purchase access at techinfo.Toyota.com get the software that’s active and update it. Honestly much cheaper to just take it to the dealership and get them done.
    2
  9511. Around 155k
    2
  9512. Hi! I am in the Chicago area. Send me an email with Chicago service request in capital at the title
    2
  9513. Yes that’s normal.
    2
  9514. Hi! 4runners don’t have EGR they have secondary air injection
    2
  9515. No just compressed air
    2
  9516. Hi! If it’s not an egr problem it could be a head gasket issue
    2
  9517. Hi! If you’re doing this yourself then yes I would clean things or at least inspect them
    2
  9518. Hi! Hard to tell without in person diagnosis will need to hear the sound
    2
  9519. Hi! It could work but it doesn’t do miracles.
    2
  9520. Hi! You can call your local dealership and they can run the vin and find out.
    2
  9521. The Prius started this issue and now it’s slowly working it’s way to Camry hybrids and Avalon hybrids.
    2
  9522. Its not common but possible
    2
  9523. Interesting. This one will be hard to figure out without in person diagnosis honestly.
    2
  9524. Hi! Around 155k if memory serves right
    2
  9525. Hi! I wouldn’t worry about the EGR unless it has issues. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.
    2
  9526. Hi Marjan! So far the 4th gen Prius no EGR problems time will tell I suppose! It’s a similar design which is not back on the A25A engine
    2
  9527. Hi! They are reliable for the most part with good maintenance. When they get really old they tend to leak and are hard to repair. And water pumps are common to go as well
    2
  9528. It’s possible it’s a vvti grind however it’s hard to tell In the video.
    2
  9529. Which model? That sounds like a vvti grind
    2
  9530. You’re right. That’s another function of it. Trying to keep it simple 😀
    2
  9531. Hi! Hard to test them with a multimeter as they are pulse modulated.
    2
  9532. Hi! Hard to put specific mileage. I’ve seen them start as early as 50k and as late as 200k
    2
  9533. Hi! Using good quality gas and regular oil changes from an early point In the cars life
    2
  9534. Hi! I wouldn’t block off the egr.
    2
  9535. Hi! It’s a 1/4” and the sockets are Matco silver eagle
    2
  9536. Hi! I would get the fluid replaced. And repeat every 30k miles
    2
  9537. Compressed air
    2
  9538. Hi! I’m hoping to film one in the next week or so and should be out soon.
    2
  9539. Hi! That could be normal of these engines. They do tend to be on the rumble side at times. Try cleaning the throttle body
    2
  9540. Hi! I wouldn’t use water. Compressed air or throttle plate cleaner works well.
    2
  9541. Much respect to you my brother! Mastering multiple brands is difficult!
    2
  9542. Hi! That is a scam. Working on cleaning it up right now.
    2
  9543. Hard to answer this one. The 3rd gen is very reliable and feels better built but it requires a lot more maintenance. The 4th gen is very good and a highlight in that generation is the v8 engine which is a true masterpiece. The 5th gen is very well made but the interior can have a cheap feeling but it will have the least issues and maintenance over the other two
    2
  9544. So far no. They’ve calmed down lately with door lock issues but we had a rough patch there for a while
    2
  9545. So the test will run only when the truck sat for a while. It will wake up the computer and check the conditions like how full is the fuel tank and the ambient temperature. Usually it won’t run in temps over 90 and won’t run when the tank is full or less than 1/4 that’s why you won’t hear it run consistently every day
    2
  9546. Hi! The noise you hear is the pump in the charcoal canister which is directly behind the fuel tank and over the rear differential. That is part of the evaporative emission system and the pump runs to create a vacuum and check for leaks. That is completely normal and it’s part of the emission system of the car.
    2
  9547. Hi! Usually no
    2
  9548. Hi! That’s not the intent of this video. If you are aware of their common issues then you can tell a good one from one that has all these issues and was never fixed.
    2
  9549. Hi! Fluid film works really well
    2
  9550. It’s either a chain tensioner or a collapsing lifter
    2
  9551. Hi! That is normal in 4lo as it’s a very aggressive reduction that needs high Rpms to move the truck
    2
  9552. Hi! I would ask about it. A fifth wheel means heavy towing and if the maintenance doesn’t reflect this heavy use I would walk from it
    2
  9553. Hi! Fluid film works well
    2
  9554. Hi! They are overall good engines. Rattle on cold start up and some oil leaks.
    2
  9555. Hi! you are good if you didn’t push the truck hard and varied your speed. Perhaps consider a break in oil change and everything is good.
    2
  9556. Hi! I have here it is https://youtu.be/b6tRAQ_r0Ms
    2
  9557. I tried but they’re really hard to get a hold of one these days
    2
  9558. All cars have issues. However just because I went into details on them doesn’t mean that other competitors don’t have more issues. The tundra with all these issues still is a very reliable truck and one I highly recommend, however you’d want to buy a good one if buying used.
    2
  9559. Hi! Tacoma video coming out this Saturday
    2
  9560. Hi! The compressor will make a click noise when it engages. I’d have to hear it to know if it’s the normal click or abnormal.
    2
  9561. Hi! Even though the tires are balanced you’ll want to check for bent wheels and road force balance the tires
    2
  9562. It naturally will drop but the question is how much! The new tundra really have big shoes to fill ( except in the gas mileage department )
    2
  9563. Hi! I suspect an issue with the door lock actuators themselves. When they’re not working a simple electrical test will verify.
    2
  9564. Hi! 225 and less is not bad. If you start reaching or exceeding 250 then I’m worried
    2
  9565. Hi! Yes they do
    2
  9566. Hi bob! So honestly keep doing what you’ve been doing! If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. The trumpet deal for the pump was for the 4.7l v8 engine only
    2
  9567. Hi! You can push the backing plate back to prevent it from hitting the new rotors
    2
  9568. Chris honestly I wouldn’t preventively replace them. I wish I had a more concrete answer on this one but it seems so random and far in between that we never could find a reason why it’s happening to begin with.
    2
  9569. That 4.7 is possibly one of the best engines Toyota ever made!
    2
  9570. Not as common as people make it out to be and I always question the maintenance history on ones with issues.
    2
  9571. Thanks for watching Marjan! Added the topics to the list thank you!
    2
  9572. Hi! 4.7 is the 2UZ timing belt engine. 4.6 is the 1UR which is a chain engine.
    2
  9573. Vapor lock potentially. They’ll need to look into the fuel pump and fuel system
    2
  9574. Hi! Pressure test the system. Maybe it’s leaking from the o ring?
    2
  9575. Hi! This is what it should sound like
    2
  9576. Hi! There’s a known TSB procedure for driveline angles check that likely would improve things
    2
  9577. Hi! That’s a common one on many Toyota models. Will be working on a fix video soon. In the meantime always use fresh air never recirculate. Replace your cabin filter with charcoal activated and perform the cleaning the service.
    2
  9578. Hi! Toyota ATF WS is the fluid. A knowledgeable mechanic would be able to change it
    2
  9579. It doesn’t. Some of them had a tow button which held gears higher to help with braking but that’s about it
    2
  9580. Hi! So the radio it’s all about research and what you want. If you are looking for a better sound then retain the original radio and focus on better speakers and maybe an amp. If the radio is the issue I had good luck with pioneer. The 2020 RAV4 is awesome! On the tundra the transmission fluid and transfer case fluids are separate and there’s also a rear differential and front differential with each their individual fluid
    2
  9581. Hi! Interesting combination! Was it a custom order?
    2
  9582. Unfortunately I don’t at the moment you’re welcome to leave your reply here and I’ll get back to you
    2
  9583. Fluid film works well. A bit messy but it gets the job done
    2
  9584. Hi! That’s normal as the part behind that is not painted. You can clean it up and coat it
    2
  9585. Hi! If you tow with it and see higher temps than 250 I would I stall one
    2
  9586. That is one that has come up. The tensioner that you’ve used. Was it the latest part number or an old number?
    2
  9587. Hi! Honestly I agree with you on turbos being an issue with long term reliability however looking at how Toyota likes to take their time to develop things they could be the game changers with turbos. We’ll wait and see I suppose
    2
  9588. Hi! Fluid film works wwll
    2
  9589. If this tundra is in good condition with good service history it’s a solid option. Other than the terrible gas mileage which is expected of a truck this size they are really good.
    2
  9590. Hi! You can actually get the starter without removing the manifold. Just remove the heat shield and if you loosen the exhaust you can get it out
    2
  9591. The rear brakes on the tundra has both of the rear. The disc brakes are used for normal braking the drum brakes are used for the parking brakes
    2
  9592. Either is good. The 4 cylinder gets better gas mileage
    2
  9593. The issue is not the sealer. The issue is contamination on the surface. If the repair is done right it can last the life of the truck. When the sealer is applied, the area needs to be 100% oil free. If there’s any oil the sealer won’t seal and will leak early.
    2
  9594. They are the same sealer but the one at the factory is dyed grey to distinguish it from the black repair sealer. For the transmission/differential they are the same and they are red in color
    2
  9595. Hi! If you see smoke and they’re leaking bad enough then yes. Success rate is high when done right
    2
  9596. Honestly dale you have 100% guarantee of compatibility with the WS fluid as it’s the official fluid that the transmission was designed to work with. Toyota transmissions are not known to have issues caused by the original fluid, however they can have issues with other fluids so why take a chance?
    2
  9597. Hi dale! Thank you for watching my video. Personally I would use the original WS fluid from Toyota and do a single drain and fill every 60k miles or 6 years. The idea is not to replace 100% of the capacity, the idea is to replace enough of the fluid to refresh the additive package
    2
  9598. Hi! That is a difficult one honestly. Typically for oil changes and tire rotations you’re going to get a junior mechanic. If you have diagnosis or repair likely you’ll get a more experienced mechanic. My best recommendation would be to get to know the mechanic that works on your truck at the dealership and request them every time when you find one that you feel comfortable working on your truck.
    2
  9599. Hi! You can use 75w85 75w90 or even 80w90 without issues. Debates are big on this, facts in the real world speak the truth. It has been used without issues at all.
    2
  9600. I hear you. If you’re not in a hurry maybe wait for the new tundra hybrid could be a good chunk of both worlds
    2
  9601. Hi! Honestly you could see temps up to 230-240 F which are somewhat normal. Ideally you’d want your temps to remain around 180-210 correlating to the engine coolant temps as that’s what is cooling the transmission fluid.
    2
  9602. Hi! I would check the transmission fluid level first
    2
  9603. Hi! Most of them are resolved for the 2021 model. Rust problems will be the same. Leaks I haven’t seen any on 2021s yet
    2
  9604. This one will require some diagnosis but I would look at a potential clog in the heater core
    2
  9605. Hi! They were random and lately we haven’t seen much of them. Seem to affect 2007 and some 2008
    2
  9606. Hi! They have not unfortunately for this model
    2
  9607. Hi! I don’t have a video at the moment as I need one in the shop to demonstrate but you’re basically going to take your rotor off and look at the backing plate. You’ll see the areas where the rotor rubbed and caused the noise. Use a screw driver to tap these areas further back so they clear the rotor
    2
  9608. I haven’t really seen any issues but that one can be a bear to diagnose. You might need to bring the trailer and have them test it with
    2
  9609. If it’s a good supercharger sure but a few things to note. The price vs horsepower gain is not impressive. And the additional cost of premium fuel might not be good
    2
  9610. Hi! I wouldn’t use anti seize just clean them up if they’re rusty
    2
  9611. That should be low enough. Interesting. Perhaps have the dealership try to calibrate the gauge?
    2
  9612. Upload the picture to a hosting website and share a link
    2
  9613. Hi! If the leak is visible over the exhaust manifold heat shield it’s a bad leak. If it’s not just wetness on top it’s not that bad
    2
  9614. Hit and miss.
    2
  9615. Tundras are reliable. If at all possible buy one that has the least amount of rust and under coat it immediately to prevent it from continuing
    2
  9616. Hi! At this mileage I would either do a single drain and fill with original WS fluid or leave it alone
    2
  9617. Hi! I wouldn’t no.
    2
  9618. Hi! I haven’t seen issues directly related to the supercharger but overall maintenance needs to be more strict
    2
  9619. Lucky indeed for owning a tundra in Phoenix! So the cam towers were totally random honestly. I’ve seen 2019s leaking and 2007 originals not leaking with over 200k
    2
  9620. Agreed!
    2
  9621. Hi! Try this if it comes back. Warm up the engine fully. Rev it and hold it at 2000 rpm for 2-3 minutes then let it idle. That seems to work to bleed any air in the lifters
    2
  9622. Hi! I don’t have the labor time right off the top of my head but it is close to 8-10 hours
    2
  9623. Hi! Honestly at home it’s simple with a pressure washer as the truck is high and you have very good access to the frame. Car washes you’d want to find one that has an undercarriage spray but it doesn’t do as good of a job as pressure washing underneath it
    2
  9624. It’s seriously a nice truck! Terrible gas mileage and feels very excessive but it’s also awesome
    2
  9625. Hi brother. If you ever get a chance to drive one do it! Tundras are awesome especially the crew max! I don’t remember any car that has this much leg room other than say a maybach 57 or a rolls Royce phantom maybe
    2
  9626. Hi! Yes you can
    2
  9627. Hi! Honestly at this mileage it could make it worse. Check the fluid level and see if it’s low
    2
  9628. Hi Steven! Honestly through my experience with Toyota replacing transmission filters is not a maintenance item and as long as the fluid is replaced on time you should have no issues. However if you want to replace it of course there’s no harm but might be no benefit either. If you decide to change it I cannot emphasize how important to keep everything extra clean when the pan is down
    2
  9629. Hi! It’s called quickjack. Just google the name and you’ll find it
    2
  9630. Hi! Thank you for watching my channel! So on the throttle try cleaning the throttle body and see if it improves. Then I would erase the transmission memory and see if that helps if the throttle body doesn’t help
    2
  9631. It’s a quick jack
    2
  9632. It’s a good truck other than the gas mileage
    2
  9633. Hi! They’re all good but personally I would go 2014+ not for reliability but for looks and interior upgrades.
    2
  9634. Not likely at all.
    2
  9635. Hi! Some spark knock is normal. But let’s try a few things. First do you drive this truck regularly at highway speeds? And did you switch the brand of gasoline?
    2
  9636. I haven’t seen anything yet. Check wheel bearings for play is the one only case I’ve seen similar to your description
    2
  9637. Hi! If I’m not mistaken the crew max has the roll down rear window. And adding it is not an option to one that doesn’t honestly.
    2
  9638. I wouldn’t initially but would watch the trans temps
    2
  9639. That one would have to be trial and error honestly. I would need to check the wiring diagram to see if they have the same pin out
    2
  9640. Hi! They are all really good. Just make sure you buy the right one that’s been well maintained
    2
  9641. The noise they make when you shut them off is the secondary air injection pump
    2
  9642. A similar video for gm Ford and Chrysler would be a 6 hour video 😉
    2
  9643. My guess would be Japanese made since that’s the closest. I’m not sure about Toyota manufacturing factories on your side of the world. Most Toyota’s in the US are made in Kentucky, Indiana, Mississippi and Texas. Also are made in Canada and Mexico. Some come straight from Japan. Also the CHR model is made in Turkey.
    2
  9644. I am not sure about the Philippines market. Look at the sticker in the door jamb it should have that information
    2
  9645. Both are true. Though the screen edge issue was not as common on the earlier models and a lot more common on other Toyota radios but I’ve seen a few on this generation Camry. The safety rating is a subject I didn’t touch on because that’s not mechanical and that’s something for the perspective buyer to research on the car itself new or used. you are 100% right on the safety rating
    2
  9646. Hi! The mileage isn’t an issue if the car has a good service history and has been taken care if
    2
  9647. Hi! Remove the belt and see if the water pump pulley has play. If it does replace it. They are somewhat common to get loose and rattle
    2
  9648. Hi! I would get them replaced if they are damaged. They protect the front area of the engine and transmission. Shop around for original vs aftermarket. But before you do make sure they are actually damaged and not just missing some clips that hold them in
    2
  9649. Thank you for watching my videos! The repair doesn’t involve expensive parts and id figure around 4-5 hours of labor.
    2
  9650. Shaokai Chen thank you! It’s very common on these models. I wouldn’t worry about it unless it bothers you. It can be fixed and you’ll never hear it again.
    2
  9651. Hi! Did you try to reset the mpg counter?
    2
  9652. How many miles does it have?
    2
  9653. Thanks! Nice car that will last you for a long time!
    2
  9654. Hi Max, Thank you for watching my video. The fluid will get replaced again and if you didn’t have issues with the fluid then it’s likely compatible. There’s a very good chance your car will be covered by the warranty extension if you bought the car new in May of 2013. The dealership will take care of it from there.
    2
  9655. Hi! I’m doing well, hope you are doing well as well. The 2014 isn’t born with the problem but it can develop it if maintenance is not done correctly.
    2
  9656. Hi! You’ll need to scan it for codes
    2
  9657.  TCL  I would keep going to be honest. Especially after you've done all this work which is the most we've ever done to one. Usually it leaks oil everywhere from age we do this job that you've just done and keep going. Only thing I will say is the brake lines like to rust on these cars. I would go underneath it and spray them with undercoating to protect them as much as possible. That's one job that is expensive unless you have someone mend the lines which I don't recommend. Take it from someone who got rid of his camry and regret it. I had a beautiful 2001 V6 gallery edition which I wish I still had.
    2
  9658. TCL I agree with you. I’ve had 3 of that body style and still regret selling the last one
    2
  9659. Depends on the condition. If it’s in good shape then yea
    2
  9660. Thank you for watching my videos. Here’s a series of videos that I made about maintenance for your Toyota https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeFzfl0Q8rQVtXIaJSF7EtirvTRhSbsrV
    2
  9661. I’d say the v6 models in all years of this generation are safe from torque converter issues. At the time of filming this video the 14 seemed ok but now they’re also showing up with torque converter issues
    2
  9662. The 2AR-FE is the engine for this car however it was updated with refreshed pistons and rings. However if the oil change schedule is not kept it could develop the same issues as the previous year 2010-2011. The issue that caused the previous model AR engine to burn oil is the holes in the pistons behind the oil rings were too small and they clog and prevent the oil ring from expanding. The new pistons are updated with more and larger holes but they could still clog with bad oil change habits but not as easily
    2
  9663. Hey brother. A small amount wouldn’t affect anything don’t worry.
    2
  9664. Hi! Hybrid for fuel economy. 4 cylinder also gets good fuel economy but watch out for them burning oil if not maintained right and they do have a common torque converter shudder issue. The v6 is very reliable but doesn’t get as good gas mileage
    2
  9665. Hi! If it has good maintenance history it shouldn’t be an issue
    2
  9666. If it has a very good service history then perhaps but just know you could end up with oil burning issues as well. I would look for a v6
    2
  9667. At this mileage and age I would be a bit hesitant to replace the fluid honestly.
    2
  9668. Hi! For brakes make sure you grease everything correctly. Find my series on how to replace brakes for reference. On the struts make sure you get an alignment after replacement.
    2
  9669. Hi! 2012 then 2006. 2009 with a v6 is good with a 4 cylinder I would be careful
    2
  9670. Ok the locks are likely right in their diagnosis. On the cruise control switch I would suspect it could be the spiral cable or the clock spring as well. Rarely see a cruise control stalk go bad. I would get a used cruise control stalk, much cheaper and they rarely break. Locks I would get new
    2
  9671. Ok I see. Did the locks all stop at the same time or one by one? Kinda odd but possible that they all stop at the same time
    2
  9672. Hey brother. Curious what was the failure they found? Body control ecu? Also on the hoses I rarely see them go bad if they’re original. The price is not bad since they are a bit expensive from Toyota but worth every penny.
    2
  9673. I’ve seen a few cases of the new ones shuddering as well. No new info from Toyota yet
    2
  9674. Hi! Your car takes a cartridge filter. Cant use a spin on
    2
  9675.  @RetySethofficial  Camry models in different parts of the world are different. I am assuming the 2.0 version has a 2.0L engine which is not an engine offered in the USA. I apologize I am not very familiar with Nigeria domestic market Camry models.
    2
  9676. RetySeth AKA MistaSeth I’m assuming this is an overseas Camry model trim. Which country are you located?
    2
  9677. RetySeth AKA MistaSeth sorry could you rephrase your question I didn’t get it
    2
  9678. Hi! Do you have coolant loss?
    2
  9679. Hi! For the stutter I would have the dealership reset the memory. That will be fixed.
    2
  9680. So on the coolant you want it when the engine fully warmed up to be at full. Don’t fill it when it’s cold. Usually they’ll be half way sometimes lower or higher but when it’s fully warmed up it shouldn’t be higher than full.
    2
  9681. Hi my brother! When it’s cold it will be half way between the two dots on the dipstick
    2
  9682. Yes I work on scions as well. They’re very similar to the Camry models of the same years. That engine tends to burn oil if not maintained right. Those models also love to go through rear shocks, not a big deal but that’s a common thing. Otherwise great cars
    2
  9683. Hi! It will need in person diagnosis to verify but likely it’s a torque converter shudder and the torque converter will need replacement
    2
  9684. Hi! That is the start of the cold start rattle on this engine. It will get a lot worse with time. At this point I would keep an eye on it. If it starts getting louder and last longer I would get it fixed. The new part is an updated one and won’t have the issue again.
    2
  9685. It will not damage anything if it’s not repaired. It’s just resonating the sound from the transmission. Not even an issue other than the bother of noise.
    2
  9686. Upload it to YouTube
    2
  9687. I would have to listen to the noise. Could be as simple as an exhaust shield
    2
  9688. I would look for either but make sure they have good service history
    2
  9689. Hi! Some of them do some don’t but it’s very easy to add one to the ones that do as they are pre wires. Connector is underneath the center storage on the dash in front of the shifter
    2
  9690. Hi Raymond. Just to clarify do you mean the inverter problem?
    2
  9691. Hi! The vvti timing gear on the intake side. No way to deactivate it to test
    2
  9692. Hi! The engine and transmission was improved and updated. It is a mid year refresh but the look was completely changed as well as the interior so really you could call it a new model
    2
  9693. Hi! The shutter is the torque converter which is a known issue with this model. Also the noise could be a loose heat shield. Hard to tell on the noise without hearing it
    2
  9694. I would check the hybrid fan vent. Check the suspension completely. And I wouldn’t spend too much money fixing anything until you’ve driven it for a few months to make sure everything is good. The high voltage battery unless it has been replaced is possibly reaching the end of its life at That mileage
    2
  9695. Let me know how that goes! I’m curious! Hopefully you never have to find out
    2
  9696.  @luptonpittman6520  It happens. There was rumors internally that silicone based hair products are causing these failures but that was never confirmed. I say it's just a bad supplier of parts. If the car runs out of warranty and another one fails I would actually try an aftermarket one to see if this one from a different supplier lasts.
    2
  9697. Hi! Replace the torque converter install additional magents in the pan and update the software
    2
  9698. The 2014s are starting with this issue as well and are covered as well. 2014.5 were the ones with 4 magnets but recently had one shuddering.
    2
  9699. Ok I see. Start with recharging the AC. If it’s good then hover a magnet near the compressor when it does it and see if it kicks right back on. If it does you’ll unfortunately need a compressor
    2
  9700. Hi my brother. Question to you. Does the AC work when the fan is not coming on? From the codes I would erase them and see what comes back. You could have an issue with the brake switch which is common on your Camry but not related to the fan
    2
  9701. Interesting I haven’t seen one yet. Contact your dealership and then Toyota and see if they can do anything to help
    2
  9702. Hi! The 15s weren’t covered however you’d want to verify it’s a shudder first from the torque converter
    2
  9703. That would work. I would ask what product they use to know.
    2
  9704. Thank you! Regarding the rattle. There’s the normal quick rattle when you start these engines then there the grinding deep rattle that just sounds really horrible, that is the vvti gears and they should be addressed. It is somewhat of an involved job to replace them because you have to time the engine and be very accurate about it otherwise you could cause a lot more damage to the engine.
    2
  9705. I think that will suffice. You’ll have that car for a long time because they’re good and you should have no rust so life is good.
    2
  9706. As long as the software update and the pan is cleaned and new magnets installed you shouldn’t have this issue again
    2
  9707. Hi! The oil change interval is recommended every 5k miles or 6 months. Transmission fluid every 60k or 6 years using Toyota CVT fluid on those year corollas
    2
  9708. Hi! Honestly in the current market it might be a good idea to keep it
    2
  9709. Hi! If it had good service history and was taken care of then yes it wouldn’t be an issue at this price point
    2
  9710. Hello! That is interesting because that year shouldn’t have the typical shudder issues that we get. Was the fluid changed on the trans twice already?
    2
  9711. That sounds like a classic EGR issue. In a video I did on the egr I showed an easy way to isolate the egr to verify that it is the issue. https://youtu.be/lFVNaDJ6HOI
    2
  9712. Hi! What year Camry hybrid do you have?
    2
  9713. @not bound thank you! I hope you have your car for a long time without issues! Let me know if you have any questions!
    2
  9714. I would get it fixed. It’s nothing involved and any mechanic can get it fixed. Shop around for prices.
    2
  9715. There are a lot of schools of thought on this. I believe there’s no real benefit from nitrogen instead of air honestly.
    2
  9716. Hi! The tire light usually indicates a low tire pressure in one or more of your tires and shouldn’t have anything to do with using the remote to unlock the doors. Get your tire pressures checked
    2
  9717. Hi! You’ll need a scan tool to find out which sensor is faulty
    2
  9718. Hi Ahmad! I hear you on the sensors they can get expensive quick. Unfortunately you can’t use the new style sensors on the older ones.
    2
  9719. On the scan tool check if Carista app is compatible with your car. On the leak if it’s leaking right above the power steering pump then it’s likely a front timing cover.
    2
  9720. Hi! You’d need a scan tool capable of reading tpms codes to see what’s going on
    2
  9721. It’s able to sense the direction in which the sensor is transmitting and locate the tires. It does happen after a while of driving when you reset them.
    2
  9722. Hi! Many components would need to be added to make this work. Not really worth the expense
    2
  9723. Sticker on door
    2
  9724. Hi! If there’s no button then it can be done using Toyotas scan tool
    2
  9725. Hi! They are very close to accurate usually within a psi or two
    2
  9726. Hi! On the drivers door jamb there will be a sticker with the recommended tire pressures
    2
  9727. Hi! The tundra is one that didn’t get the self programming sensors yet.
    2
  9728. Hi! Glad everyone is ok with the tornado! You’d have to re register the tires everytime with the 4runner. On the IS they’re good except the IS250s avoid those because they have carbon build up issues
    2
  9729. Hi! If you just replace the tire you don’t need to do anything with the sensor
    2
  9730. Thank your for watching my video! Toyota takes and adds options sometimes.
    2
  9731. Hi! In this case you’d need to pull codes and see what’s going on. There might be a communication error
    2
  9732. Hi! It should have a button underneath the dash on the drivers foot well
    2
  9733. With Canadian regulations things are different. I am not sure if they required but if it’s the same as the US model you can’t really turn off the light.
    2
  9734. The dealership is correct on the price but the 2nd set I’d have to check but there’s a possibility that the Camry doesn’t have that option if you don’t have the button or a menu option. Go to vehicle settings and tpms and see if there’s an option to switch to 2nd set. The prices are right which are ridiculous honestly. I wouldn’t spend that much just to have a light turn off for a few winter months. Invest that money in something for your family or yourself that’s more useful.
    2
  9735. Some of them are
    2
  9736. Depends on the car. Some of them show it some don’t. All pressures can be read with a capable scan tool along with temperature
    2
  9737. That has been a similar experience with the clones. Some people have reported good results with them but I saw from testing that it’s exactly as you described. They work initially but then randomly they stop then come back. As a professional mechanic at a dealership I don’t do fixes to cars that the fix occasionally work so I stick with oem sensors.
    2
  9738. Hi! I would set them at 35 psi for the tundra
    2
  9739. Not really
    2
  9740. I’ll make one for different models. It’s on the list.
    2
  9741. Hi! Unfortunately it’s nit possible
    2
  9742. Hi! It’s possible to program them if they’re right with the car. From my experience not all aftermarket ones work right. I wouldn’t worry about the light if you check your pressures.
    2
  9743. Hi! I don’t think there’s a problem but perhaps the tire pressure threshold is set high and needs resetting
    2
  9744. Hi! Unfortunately newer sensors cannot be installed in the older models
    2
  9745. Hi! Yes after some time driving it will pick up the location of the tires
    2
  9746. Techstream can do this easily. To tire pressure monitor then utility then ID registration. But before go to data list and write the IDs of the sensors that are working
    2
  9747. So you’d need to break the bead to physically check the sensors. A scan tool called Carista would help with that which I will have a detailed review and discount code for likely next week.
    2
  9748. Hi! If they are compatible you’ll have to program them each time you switch
    2
  9749. Hi! You’d have to program the sensors. If you have what appear to be rubber stems not metal then just install them and drive they’ll program automatically
    2
  9750. Hi! It’s not possible to use the new style sensors in the older cars.
    2
  9751. They are reasonably accurate. Some of them are within a psi or two
    2
  9752. Hi! You can’t switch the older style sensor to your new style unfortunately
    2
  9753. Hi! On the newer models it will recognize the change after a short drive
    2
  9754. Hi! The light will remain on after it initially flashes
    2
  9755. There’s no way to calibrate it unfortunately.
    2
  9756. Hi! It’s not possible to install the new style sensor in a car with old style ones. You can either replace the one sensor with the same sensor and would need to program it.
    2
  9757. Hi! So some diagnosis is needed and it goes like this. On a scan tool you can get the 4 sensors numbered 1-4 or 1-5 depends how many sensors you have you will deflate one tire while looking at the data on the scan tool. Once you find the wheel with the bad sensor you will deflate it and none of the numbers on the scanner will change. Then you’ll remove it and compare the number written on the sensor with the one programmed in the scan tool to verify that you got the right one
    2
  9758. Hi! You’ll need to deflate and inflate through the sensor over 10 psi to wake them up
    2
  9759. Hi! Your Prius doesn’t have a sensor in the spare
    2
  9760. Hi! You’d need a scan tool that reads tpms data to know which one.
    2
  9761. Hi! Unfortunately that’s not possible
    2
  9762. Toyota will not do the same
    2
  9763. Hi! The sensor is mounted to the wheel. So when the tires are changed the sensors stay with the wheels. You can install a rubber valve stem but the light will flash then stay on. The government considers tire pressure related to emissions as low tire pressure creates more drag and load on the engine which makes engine produce more harmful emissions.
    2
  9764. Hi! The sensors are attached to the wheels. When you replace the tires the sensors stay with the wheels. If you replace the wheels the sensors get taken off the old wheel and transferred to the new wheels.
    2
  9765. You can do that. Set your initial tires to 3 over the recommended then set the threshold to that. Then lower the pressures to spec and it will come on 3 psi below spec
    2
  9766. You can buy it from the dealership. It’s not expensive at all.
    2
  9767. Sensors can be changed to different wheels. I would get a new fit kit with it if switching the sensor to a different wheel
    2
  9768. Possibly the threshold is not set correctly
    2
  9769. And you did good. I’d rather you save that 400 bucks to buy tires when you need them and buy yourself a 3 dollar tire gauge and problem fixed
    2
  9770. The dealership is over charging there. 400 for 4 sensors maybe but for one sensor that’s outrageous
    2
  9771. Hey brother! So Costco has been known to do this. If you’re going to replace the seals make sure that happens every time you replace the tires. Also if you live in the rust belt have them clean the area around the seal for corrosion.
    2
  9772. Hi Eric! If you use the scan tool that’s capable you would be able to program the new sensor without issues.
    2
  9773. Hi! Old sensor
    2
  9774. Hi! It estimates the location based on the strength of the signal. And it does it automatically once you start driving
    2
  9775. That shouldn’t be an issue as that’s a small change.
    2
  9776. If they use aftermarket and willing to warranty them why not. Otherwise just stick with oem if you’re gonna invest money to fix it
    2
  9777. Good guess! I hear you on leaving Chicago. You know the feeling. We pack up to leave every winter and then summer comes and we change our minds.
    2
  9778. Hi! It will reset by itself after you drive
    2
  9779. You know what... at Toyota land we always made fun of the Mazda car that we have but in all honesty they are actually really good cars. I haven’t done much to any of them for the 4 years that we’ve had them other than maintenance. A few odds and ends here and there but nothing major at all. You already have the car I would drive it, take care of it and not worry. They’ve been really good to people who bought them.
    2
  9780. Hi! You are correct the tire pressure rises as the tires warm up. Likely in your case the threshold is not set right. I would consult with the dealership also check your door sticker for the correct cold inflation.
    2
  9781. It can be multiple drives no problems. If they’re not Toyota sensors worse case scenario is that they don’t work and light flashes which is not a huge deal
    2
  9782. Some of the newer models actually will show you the location of the tire but the older ones didn’t and even a scan tool doesn’t show you unfortunately you’d have to check one by one
    2
  9783. Hi! So they will need to check the threshold with their scan tool and adjust it if needed. Ideally I’d want it around 27-28 psi or 5-6 psi below spec
    2
  9784. So this is the one thing that I didn’t mention in this video that I wish I did. Some of the cars will have that 2nd and main and that’s designed so you’d have 2 sets of tires with 2 sets of sensors like winter and summer tires and all you do when you switch them is flip the switch and it starts reading the 2nd programmed set. Also the spare tire sensor is waken up by the motion of the car as it drives.
    2
  9785. You can without issues.
    2
  9786. Hi! Many scan tools can program these. Carista is a tool I reviewed that can program them on certain models. You’d want to check if it’s compatible with your model first though
    2
  9787. Hi! Some models like the 4runner retained the old style sensors that need programming. The newer style sensors have a rubber valve stem that’s how you can tell them. Your 4runner likely has metal valve stems which means it has the old system
    2
  9788. Hi! Unfortunately that’s not possible simply try pulling a fuse. Best thing is to ignore the light if you don’t want to fix it.
    2
  9789. So the Camry sensors should be a rubber valve stem with a sensor attached to it. Is that the case? If they’re not physically the same then it’s a different system altogether. If your camry has all metal stem for the sensor then they could be the same as that’s the previous system which means your Camry has the old style tpms sensors that can’t be reprogrammed on their own they need physical programming.
    2
  9790. That’s interesting. They shouldn’t work because they are a completely different sensor. Unless the ones for the CHR were not really for the CHR
    2
  9791. Wait what did they do for 164?
    2
  9792. They can communicate with them using a special tool to see how the battery is doing
    2
  9793. You’ll need in some cases to pass 15-20 psi through them a few times to wake them up
    2
  9794. Hi! After some time they will deactivate and shut off to preserve the battery. When they start moving again when the tires spin they will wake up automatically
    2
  9795. It will use the previous thershold
    2
  9796. Hi! Check the pressures and if it’s good likely you’ll have an issue with one of the sensors
    2
  9797. It’s possible that some models made it through with the old style sensors
    2
  9798. No unfortunately it won’t automatically accept the new style sensors
    2
  9799. Hi! Unfortunately you can’t upgrade from old style to new style. The torque spec is around 35-36 INCH lbs
    2
  9800. It will scan for sensors and when a certain time passes and it only reads the same sensors around it assumes these are the new sensors and takes them
    2
  9801. Honestly at this point it’s not worth worrying about. Likely the sensors you have are either not programmed or flat not working right. New sensors or programming is the answer and that is pretty expensive. Once you go back to your summer tires the light will be off with your old wheels and sensors
    2
  9802. 60-90k for hybrids
    2
  9803. Hi! Main body utility then customizations
    2
  9804. Hi! Keep up the maintenance is the biggest thing. See where the previous owner was and continue it
    2
  9805. A drain and fill is always safer. A flush on a newer car with 60k miles is ok otherwise a drain and fill
    2
  9806. This one is a special car and production runs will be different than other models. Odds are they’ll be similar with top build wuality
    2
  9807. Not really. With the car on make sure the odometer is displayed not trip A or trip B then shut off the car. Foot off the brake press and hold the odometer button and turn the ignition on by pressing the power button twice then continue to hold the odo button the mileage will flash when it stops you’re done it’s calibrated
    2
  9808. Yes
    2
  9809. Yes they can adjust it
    2
  9810. Honestly the car has been really nice but I haven’t been driving it lately and with opening my new shop it’s a wise decision not to have an extra car just sitting and not driven
    2
  9811. Hi! Yes most Toyotas disable other Systems when the Check engine light comes on
    2
  9812. Honestly I would use it.
    2
  9813. Hi! no adjustments are possible on the 4runner
    2
  9814. Hi! Get to know the advisor and mechanic. Ask for their names and tell them I’d like you to work on my car and see their reaction. Good mechanics will appreciate that, questionable ones will get uncomfortable
    2
  9815. Hi! Likely not even related to the transmission. The pads usually shift when you do that and it makes a single clunk. Happens almost everytime I do this procedure
    2
  9816. It should yes
    2
  9817. Likely the speaker is the issue
    2
  9818. On manual transmission the first replacement around 30k miles then every 30-50k miles
    2
  9819. Hi! I would get the fluid replaced and you should have no issues. Use original fluid.
    2
  9820. Yea it will help. Keep your foot on the brake until it automatically applies then let it go
    2
  9821. Hard to tell exactly the difference as the market is fluctuating a lot not but I’ll add the subject to the list of video ideas and see what I can come up with
    2
  9822. Hi! You can just make sure it’s a well ventilated area not a garage
    2
  9823. Hi! That’s a comma ai review hopefully coming soon
    2
  9824. The ones with an active DCM
    2
  9825. Hi! Yes it does apply to your Tacoma as well
    2
  9826. Yes it applies to both
    2
  9827. Yes you can
    2
  9828. Likely the abs running it’s self test
    2
  9829. Hi! That is normal. Because the speed in the cruise control defaults to the original non adjusted speed
    2
  9830. Ok just wanted to make sure. It’s basically the same car as the US model. Check part numbers on the suspension but likely not interchangeable
    2
  9831. A good inspection to make sure everything is good especially tires and brakes. Make sure your spare tire is inflated as well perhaps test the battery as well.
    2
  9832. Hi! Most modern ones has a timer that disables it. It will however drain the battery on the key quick
    2
  9833. Hi! Yes that’s within the towing capacity but the transmission fluid replacement is a must every 60k miles
    2
  9834. Hi! Yes with a DCM update
    2
  9835. In 2018-2019 they had some shifting issues fixed by a software update
    2
  9836. Yes! It’s not great in the snow. I happen to drive this in a snow storm and it was nerve racking
    2
  9837. Hi! Yea they’re kinda of difficult to lift
    2
  9838. Hi! The p1604 is not an issue. Erase it and it shouldn’t come back unless you disconnect the battery or the battery gets very weak. On the message that’s also normal as you start the car because it doesn’t see oil pressure until you start the engine
    2
  9839. Hi! If it’s done well it shouldn’t have issues
    2
  9840. Hi! You’ll possibly need a reseed to establish communication and program a key
    2
  9841. Hi! Similar procedure yes
    2
  9842. Same as the video
    2
  9843. Hi! Doesn’t matter the order
    2
  9844. Hi! If the moisture content is high then yes I would get it replaced
    2
  9845. Doesn’t matter if you’re replacing the fluid only
    2
  9846. It’s possible but it’s highly inaccurate
    2
  9847. Yes you can
    2
  9848. Hi! It will be actually on the hydraulic unit itself not something easily accessible
    2
  9849. Hi! It could still say good if it hasn’t been opened before and the cap is not missing
    2
  9850. Hi! It’s not effective and honestly is a waste of time. Either replace the fluid in the lines or leave it alone
    2
  9851. Hi! You’ll need to bleed the lines afterwards and you’re all set. Before anything though make sure your bleeders come loose
    2
  9852. Erase the codes and use a scan tool to bleed it. Once you get air into the accumulator a scan tool is a must
    2
  9853. Hi! Usually warning lights and very reduced braking power
    2
  9854. Hi! It doesn’t really make a difference if you’re just replacing the fluid
    2
  9855. Hi! Typically evap lines don’t wear off on their own. Either accident damage or possibly either rodent damage
    2
  9856. Hi! It should be ok to disconnect the 12v battery in the back
    2
  9857. Hi! I would crimp the hose install the calipers bleed them then replace the fluod
    2
  9858. Hi! No you will need to use a scan tool to bleed it after parts replacement
    2
  9859. If you’re just replacing the fluid then no
    2
  9860. Hi! Usually not take the wheels just use a hose
    2
  9861. It’ll make a small difference but likely not worth the cost
    2
  9862. Hi! I would replace it.
    2
  9863. If you’re just replacing the fluid it doesn’t really matter where you start.
    2
  9864. Hi! Not really
    2
  9865. Hi! Yes that is correct. As you pull fluid out the level will drop so you’ll want to keep it topped off
    2
  9866. Hi! If you are just replacing the pads and or shoes you don’t need to open the hydraulic circuit. This procedure is for fluid replacement only not for parts replacement
    2
  9867. Hi! It won’t affect the brake pedal feel which is common on 5th gen 4runners
    2
  9868. Hi! All the caps are vented and will allow air to come out
    2
  9869. Hi! Yes it’s the same
    2
  9870. Just submerge the tip of the tool
    2
  9871. You can mix the two without issues
    2
  9872. Hi! Doesn’t matter which wheel you start with and I am located in Chicago in the US
    2
  9873. Hi! Likely you have pressure low codes which will Need erased and the system bled with a scan tool if needed
    2
  9874. Hi! Without scan tool is just to replace the fluid. If you replace components like the actuator or accumulator then you’ll need the scan tool to bleed them.
    2
  9875. No specific order
    2
  9876. Hi! Just bleed the bleeders on hybrids! That’s the bleeder not to touch the one on the actuator.
    2
  9877. Hi! Depends on the car. With Toyota things are more relaxed and laid back when it comes to brake fluid
    2
  9878. Hi! If the negative cable is disconnected it doesn’t matter. If it’s not opening the drivers door in hybrids make the brake pump actuate
    2
  9879. Just leave the back door open as you do the procedure
    2
  9880. The drivers door only. If you don’t want to deal with any concern of the pump running disconnect the negative terminal of the battery
    2
  9881. Likely your model doesn’t have a filter some of the early Avalon’s didn’t. If it does have one it would be on the drivers side of the back seat you’ll see a small vent behind it would be a mesh filter
    2
  9882. Hi! It shouldn’t be an issue. Some memory is lost but is reprogrammed automatically as you drive
    2
  9883. No it shouldn’t be an issue. As long as you don’t have a bleeder open
    2
  9884. Hi! You will get better results with the key on on 4Runners but I don’t advice it. Take the long slow route but safer one. They’re harder to remove on 4Runners the screen
    2
  9885. After you’re done with all 4 and before you start driving
    2
  9886. No order needed
    2
  9887. After disconnecting the battery follow the procedure in the video. Don’t use normal bleeding process of pumping the brake pedal and holding
    2
  9888. Disconnect the 12v battery will disable it
    2
  9889. If you are just replacing the fluid there’s no air in the system. If you are replacing components then you need a scan tool
    2
  9890. I wouldn’t be surprised if that has happened to a mechanic!
    2
  9891. Don’t you love when that happens!
    2
  9892. Thank you Tom. Honestly i agree with you that the auto industry gets a bad reputation and unfortunately in majority of cases it is well deserved. That’s why my recommendation in this video was if you find an honest advisor and mechanic, stick with them because they are far and in between. There are a lot of good techs out there that work very hard and take pride in what they do and do so with integrity and honesty. However there’s also many techs who are flat terrible on every level and those give the rest a bad name. Similarly with customers. Some of them are awesome and some try to take advantage of things. Because in the end it’s all about people and how they deal with things. I do my small part into the mix and hope for the best. I started this channel to help people and perhaps through it people will benefit from the information to help them make better decisions when it comes to their cars because I work in the industry and I see how some customers have no clue what anything in their car is or how it works. You don’t need to be a mechanic or work on your car to understand the basics hence my series simple but complicated. Educating non car folks about cars goes a long way in informing them so they won’t be taken advantage of by the bad crowd in the auto industry. I really appreciate you as a subscriber and a brother Tom. You can tell me anything in my face and I won’t be offended. I deeply respect your opinion even if it’s against me or it’s something I don’t like.
    2
  9893. Thank you for your comment Tom. I can’t defend or “self-serve” any dealership. I will openly tell you and everyone that some dealerships are horrible and even good dealerships has horrible people working in them. Just like any industry there’s bad dealerships with good people working in them and there’s good dealerships with bad people working in them. Having said that customers are the same. Some very good and some very bad. So it all boils down to people and their conscience. I can’t fix a broken industry but I can do my part by being honest and direct to people. Some take it well while some don’t. Have a nice day.
    2
  9894. Hi! 4 quarts for a drain and fill likely more like 10 if it’s a flush. I would ask what they did
    2
  9895. I’d say that’s a good start. I wouldn’t completely disregard what other people say on forums as many folks are knowledgeable and have experience however I would approach the tech and explain what you know and have them take a look and see
    2
  9896. It could be the chirp itself that’s an issue. I would check the wiring first and go from there
    2
  9897. Hi! Things happen but the dealership should know that they services the car there always and take care of it!
    2
  9898. Personally I don’t think so. If Toyota deemed it not needed I trust their judgement.
    2
  9899. Hi! I’m in the Chicago area and the dealership I work at is not adding external coolers
    2
  9900. Dealerships reviews online are the furthest thing from accurate honestly! You’ll get horrible dealerships with good reviews and good ones with bad reviews. Your best bet it to find one which gives you a good experience and honesty and stick with it!
    2
  9901. That’s very nice of you to do William! It shows that you appreciate what they do and they do appreciate you thinking of them! And it shows in the way they take care of you!
    2
  9902. Hi! Every 50k or 5 years
    2
  9903. Hi and thank you for watching. Not all dealerships are bad and not all people in bad dealerships are bad. To sum it up I’ll say this. There’s good people working in bad dealerships and there’s bad people working in good dealerships
    2
  9904. Very true! Unfortunately Illinois is not one of those states!
    2
  9905. You’ll see temps as high as 210-215 which is normal. If you see temps going as high as 240-250 I would worry
    2
  9906. Hi! Not on the hybrids.
    2
  9907. I wouldn’t overfill it regardless
    2
  9908. Hi! Test the purge valve instead of changing it. Also test your gas cap as well.
    2
  9909. Thank you for your suggestion! I will look into the subject thank you!
    2
  9910. I hear you. That’s likely related to the charcoal canister. I would do the same. Small inconvenience but I like the $500 in the bank better.
    2
  9911. Diesels are not the same
    2
  9912. Typically it takes a few times to cause damage. I wouldn’t worry unless you have an alarming fuel smell inside the car or you have a check engine light
    2
  9913. There are some issues with the bladder tank especially in cold weather.
    2
  9914. Thank you for watching! Just tell them as soon as the pump clicks not to keep topping off.
    2
  9915. Hi! This doesn’t happen immediately. But repeated overfilling puts you at more risk of this happening.
    2
  9916. I wouldn’t top it off still
    2
  9917. It could if the charcoal have traveled to the purge valve and it got stuck open
    2
  9918. Hi! It’s not a maintenance item but if you have issues with it then replacement is a good idea. They’re inexpensive and I highly recommend you buy an original one
    2
  9919. Hi! If you have no issues at the moment you should be good. Just try avoiding overfilling in the future
    2
  9920. Hi! That’s normal. When you start the car the light will stay on while it runs the self check then goes off. As long as it goes off you have nothing to worry about.
    2
  9921. Once it clicks once you’re done.
    2
  9922. Hi! I would let the pump click off on its own then be on your way.
    2
  9923. Hi! It could be the sound of the fuel pump running which is normal
    2
  9924. Hi! The bladder tank is interesting. That could work but the bladder tank will always have smaller capacity and give you a hard time when cold that’s why they moved on from it.
    2
  9925. Because cars in the 60s and 70s didn’t have an evap system
    2
  9926. Hi! It’s actually possible that the tank is the issue here. Testing is needed here
    2
  9927. If premium doesn’t have ethanol in your area then it’s better
    2
  9928. Hi! Regular gas is good. Premium fuel wouldn’t cause harm but wouldn’t do good either
    2
  9929. I do that as well. You won’t cause issues unless you’re way below empty however I always like to have enough fuel to make my commute without worry.
    2
  9930. Hi! It’s not ideal to run the car constantly low. Here’s a suggestion. Save up some money and fill up the car. Then start filling it up every time it gets to a 3/4-1/2 tank. Same thing but you won’t risk running the pump dry
    2
  9931. The fuel tank is designed to reroute the vapor back into the filler neck when the tank is full. That vapor pushed towards the pump nozzle deactivates the nozzle and it clicks. So even if you say 20 on pump 3 it will clock. Go back and get a refund for the rest
    2
  9932. Hi! Fill it until the pump clicks off and you’re done.
    2
  9933. Hi! Did they try to clean the throttle body?
    2
  9934. Just make sure they are from a legit source like a dealership selling on eBay at wholesale prices
    2
  9935. The evap system would need to be checked to track down the gasoline smell
    2
  9936. Hi! Has the car been overfilled with gasoline before?
    2
  9937. @Sam Hamed I’m glad you never had issues! Thank you for watching my video!
    2
  9938. it’s not recommended for safety. Some hybrid models it would be an issue as the valve won’t open and you won’t be able to fill it
    2
  9939. Once the pump stops that’s it
    2
  9940. Hi! Either the fan is is not working well or you got some air in the cooling system
    2
  9941. Hi! I honestly wouldn’t
    2
  9942. Father of two girls. There has to be some pink laying around!
    2
  9943. Hi! Any trouble codes?
    2
  9944. Hi! I would replace them if they’re original
    2
  9945. Oil mixing with coolant or specifically the water in the coolant
    2
  9946. Hi! I wouldn’t replace the head gasket as a preventative measure honestly. You’ve done a great job preserving this car I don’t think you’ll have any issues with the head gasket any time soon
    2
  9947. Hi! On the Camry engines no they don’t have known chronic head gasket issues. Is it burning oil though?
    2
  9948. Hi! Honestly this one is too far gone and I typically don’t like the sealer products for head gaskets
    2
  9949. Hi! No don’t be concerned if it stopped
    2
  9950. Hi! They’re rare honestly. Proper maintenance especially on the coolant is key to prevent issues.
    2
  9951. Hi! The filter is underneath the back seat on the passenger side
    2
  9952. Hi! Because you’ll need to know how much material was taken then make a gasket with the original thickness + material taken which is not something simple
    2
  9953. Hi! It usually will alter the timing but not noise
    2
  9954. Hi! You didn’t cause damage don’t worry. Did you disconnect the battery by any chance when you did the plugs? Try cleaning the throttle body and see if it improves
    2
  9955. Hi! Yes 2015 and up are much better
    2
  9956. Hi! It’s not very difficult if you’ve done similar work before
    2
  9957. Hi! Honestly we home made one from an old injector cleaning kit. I need to get one soon as the one we made is not working well. I’ll make a video once I find one with the right connections
    2
  9958. Hi! That engine is very good as long as it doesn’t run low on oil and/or overheat.
    2
  9959. It’s common and normal when you start the engine and shut off right away. It clears after a few seconds of running
    2
  9960. A general inspection of the suspension is needed. Struts sway bar links is first to check
    2
  9961. Hi! The filter is not normally replaced. It can easily last the life of the transmission as long as the fluid is replaced
    2
  9962. Hi! Regular washing and maintenance
    2
  9963. Just have it checked to make sure it’s in good condition. If it is then it will last you a long time with good maintenance
    2
  9964. I would if it’s in good condition and have good service history
    2
  9965. I would that’s not too late
    2
  9966. Hi! I would use original fluid personally.
    2
  9967. Hi! That’s not as common but I’ve seen it. The update won’t fix that unfortunately it needs a new radio or new screen
    2
  9968. Honestly I wouldn’t tow it with your corolla. The transmission is really not capable of handling high weight and the potential problems you’ll have will cost you more than buying a cheap old suv or truck and use it only for towing
    2
  9969. Not really. iMs rarely have any issues honestly.
    2
  9970. Hi my brother. Likely the torsion bars are weak. I would replace them with new ones
    2
  9971. Yeah campaign codes are different from Canada but they’re the same process. No need to send the VIN as you’re all good! I wouldn’t worry. Just maintain the car, take care of it and it’ll take care of you
    2
  9972. Unbelievable that a Toyota dealership can’t explain things right to their customers. Please allow me to explain. The issue with this transmission was a software issue. But this software issue if left unattended could cause a physical issue with the transmission which would require repair. Now after the software update has been done, a transmission test takes place. If the transmission passes the test then it is not affected and the new software is already updated so you have no reason to worry. If the transmission fails the test then the part will get replaced. So when you took your car for JSD or the previous J0D the software would have been updated. If that’s completed and done then I wouldn’t even worry the slightest bit as that problem is fixed and done with and I wouldn’t anticipate issues related to that campaign at all.
    2
  9973. Thank you for watching my video. Did you get or know is JSD was done?
    2
  9974. Hi! Yes. But this is later and things have improved in the new model
    2
  9975. Hey brother! Believe it or not I almost worked at beaver Toyota when they were going to open in Georgia but we didn’t agree and the deal fell through. I’ve seen a million mile Camry hybrid taxi in Chicago but the most after it is a 700k 2001 Camry
    2
  9976. Hi! While I have no experience with the civic reliability to speak of. The corolla is a solid car in that year. It has a lot of electrical gizmos but it’s still a basic car that’s not overly complicated
    2
  9977. The new corolla is a really nice car. If you take care of it, it will take care of you
    2
  9978. Hi! On the transmission I would leave it alone as it’s too many miles. Honestly not much a general safety inspection and some more miles is about it
    2
  9979. Fidel Santiago interesting... was the fluid ever changed maybe with the wrong fluid?
    2
  9980. Keep up the maintenance and get everything inspected to make sure everything looks good ( brakes tires maintenance)
    2
  9981. Hi! Too soon to know but so far they’re doing very well
    2
  9982. Hi! The transmission downshifting on its own when going downhill is normal. It’s just attempting to assist in braking
    2
  9983. Hi! 2 things. First you can have warped rotors or drums in the back. Also have the rear drums cleaned and adjusted if it gets worse then it’s the rear drums that are warped and need to be resurfaced
    2
  9984. They don’t prime unless you crank the engine
    2
  9985. Not as common on the later ones
    2
  9986. Hi! Not really familiar with that engine as it’s not sold in the US
    2
  9987. Other than the very base model they all have CVt for automatics
    2
  9988. Hi! A code like that would have to be diagnosed in person.
    2
  9989. Hi! I recommend it if it’s in good condition
    2
  9990. Hi! 2019 on the hatchback and 2020 on the sedan
    2
  9991. Interesting. Honestly I would need to see the car to be able to help as this one is difficult to diagnose in this format
    2
  9992. Hi! Do you have a check engine light on?
    2
  9993. Hi! The 2020 model is very good so far
    2
  9994. In that case you have a conventional automatic transmission not a CVt so you’ll use Toyota WS fluid and a drain and fill is safer at this mileage
    2
  9995. Hi! I don’t recommend driving through floods with any car especially hybrids.
    2
  9996. Yes sir
    2
  9997. I would change it every 60k
    2
  9998. They would
    2
  9999. Thank you for the suggestion. Eventually I will get to the scions but that will take some time.
    2
  10000. You got it my friend! We’ll keep it going! Thank you! Have a blessed day!
    2
  10001. I don’t have the experience with honda that I have with Toyota.
    2
  10002. Hi! They are common enough where I would check the ones you’re buying. You’d be looking at around 8-10 hours of labor to fix the leak
    2
  10003. On hybrids the window of recommendation is 60-90k. The fluid is very easy to replace as long as you use original Toyota WS fluid.
    2
  10004. I normally don’t recommend you buy a salvage title car unless you’re in the business and have experience dealing with salvage title cars. Only exception would be if you know who rebuild the car and know how bad the accident was.
    2
  10005. Hi! They are all good years. More important than the year is condition and service history I would say
    2
  10006. Hi! I would change the transmission fluid every 60k miles or 6 years so you still have a long time to go.
    2
  10007. I’m glad I could help! Take care of the cvt fluid and you’ll have no issues. We’ve seen quite a few corollas like yours with over 200,000 miles and a lot with over 100,000 miles without any issues!
    2
  10008. The eco indicator is not the same an eco model. That indicator is found in all models and it just tells you if you are driving economically or not. To know an eco model first it will have a badge saying eco on the trunk and the engine cover will say valvematic
    2
  10009. I would get the full inspection not the basic
    2
  10010. You could take it to a body shop but a pre purchase inspection will reveal anything big from accidents that’s not fixed right as well.
    2
  10011. I would have a pre purchase inspection done at the dealership and that should reveal any issues
    2
  10012. I think that’s a good buy as long as the collision repair was done right. If it is you’re all good.
    2
  10013. Many Toyota models will fit your needs. For your conditions a non turbo non supercharged car would work well which is almost all Toyota models
    2
  10014. That is a mystery on the plugs but I’ve seen this before. Are there any markings on the tip of the plug coil side?
    2
  10015. Hi! No known issue. Under what conditions did it make the noise?
    2
  10016. Are you looking for specific information other than what’s in this video?
    2
  10017. Hi! I don’t know about the civic and Mazda but the corolla is easy to maintain in my opinion and very DIY friendly
    2
  10018. I think that is it. We had chunks of it sitting on top of the baffle and they were definitely red chunks
    2
  10019. The cabinet is from global industrial
    2
  10020. Microphone died. New microphone already in
    2
  10021. Hi! On the Tacoma the color dots are just identification marks for the factory. On some models the mount will have marks that are the direction of install. This is more common on unibody Toyotas
    2
  10022. I left the dealership when I opened the shop
    2
  10023. Hi! Really hard to tell without inspection but if the fans are not turning on I would investigate that first
    2
  10024. I’m looking into amsoil.
    2
  10025. Thank you! Connecting it all the time shouldn’t cause any issues
    2
  10026. Hi! Carbon deposits won’t be affected by non Ethanol gas use but your engine will run better and have better gas mileage
    2
  10027. Video coming up tomorrow covering that
    2
  10028. You got a really good deal there
    2
  10029. Hi! I left my job with Toyota to dedicate to the shop.
    2
  10030. The 22RE did have a timing chain issue more specifically the guides
    2
  10031. No I work full time in my new shop
    2
  10032. I would sell them at a decent price for a new technician coming up. Really hard to find new young technicians these days
    2
  10033. Hi! Good car for its class but can get expensive to repair
    2
  10034. Yes that was pulled and it’s clean.
    2
  10035. Hi! Honestly that was a gift from a fellow Toyota technician that retired and gave me his light. Not really sure of the brand
    2
  10036. Thanks brother! Hope you’re doing well!
    2
  10037.  @latin4ujr  this was a known issue with some videos. The video after this one the issue is resolved. Sorry about that but it is resolved going forward. For those affected videos if you switch from 5.1 audio to stereo the volume will be normal
    2
  10038. Plug and play for Toyota and Lexus
    2
  10039. Hi! V6 engines are less likely to burn oil from experience
    2
  10040. Yes
    2
  10041. Hi! Those trucks have secondary air injection because the engines are old and need some help to be emissions compliant. Your v6 Camry doesn’t need that.
    2
  10042. Cost of oil change at the dealership where I work is right around 40 bucks for synthetic. So $1800 give or take compared to $900. So it would’ve been a difference of $900 vs $6800
    2
  10043. The 6 cylinders seem to do better but still possible
    2
  10044. Hi! Chicago area
    2
  10045. Hi! It’s likely caused by the high oil consumption
    2
  10046. A very slight rattle after it sat overnight can be normal for this engine. A recording of the sound would help me tell you if it’s normal or an issue noise
    2
  10047. Hi! On the new 4runner using synthetic oil I’d stay with the 5k oil changes. With the older 4runner 3000 is a good idea honestly.
    2
  10048. Hi! If your manual gives you options you can choose according to your temperature. If it specifies 0w16 exclusively then I would stick with it
    2
  10049. Hi! Unfortunately I don’t have direct experience with that. However you’ll need someone to program the ecu to unlock it. It’s possible to do similar to changing the max speed.
    2
  10050. Customer wanted a new engine didn’t want to go used.
    2
  10051. I know a friend and a viewer who owns a 2010 Prius which is the worst year for oil consumption/ egr probelms / head gasket issues. He bought the car used when it had 7000 miles and 1 year old. Changes the oil exactly at 5000 miles or 6 months. This car last time I saw it had 138k miles didn’t burn a drop of oil. We took the original egr valve to check it, it was perfectly clean. And of course no head gasket issues. Maintenance…. Maintenance …. Maintenance folks
    2
  10052. That is tbd. I see one trans oil record on file
    2
  10053. Hi! You can do it yourself in between
    2
  10054. Hi! Yes it’s good
    2
  10055. Hi! Potentially but not with concrete results. Most people don’t even notice oil consumption because they don’t check their oil level between oil changes and they don’t change the oil themselves
    2
  10056. Hi! Yea run an engine oil cleaner to be on the safe side and you’re good to go.
    2
  10057. Hi! The RAV4 could have the same issue if it’s not maintained
    2
  10058. Hi! That’s true. At this mileage I would leave it alone
    2
  10059. Hi! Took about 12 hours with a long break in between while we waited for parts to arrive. 3000 miles is a bit much, I think up to 5000 miles is safe
    2
  10060. Hi! That engine has severe damage and required a lot more parts to be replaced that’s why it costed a lot more. The short block prices are pretty similar
    2
  10061. Hi! That was an option but the price difference was $1000 for a Used engine. The owner opted for a new one
    2
  10062. The Italian tune up works but not in this case
    2
  10063. Here’s the link https://amzn.to/3K6xqbs
    2
  10064. Hi! Link in the description of this video
    2
  10065. Yes! We advised the owner of the new break in
    2
  10066. Oil burning
    2
  10067. Hi! Let’s clarify one thing. 10k oil changes are acceptable if your driving conditions are not listed under the special operating conditions. At this mileage if you are not consuming oil then you’re good. As engines get mileage it’s a good idea to switch to 5k intervals which you are doing. So if you are not using oil now you’re doing good.
    2
  10068. Hi! If the maintenance is followed accordingly you shouldn’t have issues at all
    2
  10069. At some point we had to stop with the while you’re there. The timing chain has a wear indicator on it and it was good. Water pump was replaced at some point as it was not original
    2
  10070. That will be possible if one day I have a bigger garage with a lift then I can take my time and film it step by step
    2
  10071. If I could film in the dealership freely I would make a long time lapse or even a multi part series. Maybe in the future if I have a different home garage with a lift then I can do this kind of work at home.
    2
  10072. Hi! So the 2AZ had a design issue with the pistons. If it starts burning new pistons and rings are available to fix the issue permanently
    2
  10073. Hi! Did you own this car since new?
    2
  10074. These engines can really last a very long time with good maintenance
    2
  10075. Toyota doesn’t offer a long block
    2
  10076. Hi! Around 26 hours.
    2
  10077. Hi! Leave your comment on here or any of the other videos and I’ll get back to you.
    2
  10078. Hi! The timing chain has a wear indicator and it was good.
    2
  10079. Hi! This engine requires synthetic oil and that’s what was used. The oil used with good oil but just stayed there too long
    2
  10080. Toyota doesn’t sell a long block. The cylinder head rebuild was actually included in the same price and would’ve been an additional cost to send it out. Can’t machine this cylinder head so it’s pointless to send it out.
    2
  10081. Hi! Oil catch cans can help with older engines with a more basic design but this one really wouldn’t benefit from it.
    2
  10082. Not really.
    2
  10083. Hi! I would change it every 6 months
    2
  10084. Hi! These are good oils but their high expense is not always justified especially in Toyota engines
    2
  10085. Hi! I personally would change it every 6 months
    2
  10086. It had a small amount of sludge piled up but nothing excessive
    2
  10087. Hi! Don’t have experience with it. I tend to not like to use additives all the time. Most good quality oils have enough additives to protect things if the oil is changed at a good interval
    2
  10088. Hi! Not in this setup. Remember that this engine has to pass emissions.
    2
  10089. Hi! I would use 0w20 for this engine and I personally like Toyota oil as you often can find it at normal prices or sometimes cheaper
    2
  10090. Hi! Yes that is a must! And I would follow it up with very close 1-3k oil changes for the next 2-3 oil changes. I
    2
  10091. They are very reliable cars. When I parked this car outside right next to it is an employee car which is exactly the same. He’s owned it since new and it has more mileage than this one and it doesn’t burn a drop. He changed the oil at or before 5000 miles
    2
  10092. Hi! I personally would change it every 5k miles
    2
  10093. Hi! The gasket maker or sealer is called FIPG (Form in Place Gasket) is what Toyota uses at the factory. There are not gaskets available for the parts that sealer is used.
    2
  10094. Hi! This could be normal as all oil drains down from sitting.
    2
  10095. That is correct
    2
  10096. This engine was not covered by the customer support program. The 2.4L 2AZ-FE was
    2
  10097. Oil analysis could have shown the increased iron but if you have iron the damage already happened. Maybe at that point an oil change interval change could’ve lessened the issue but wouldn’t have stopped it
    2
  10098. Hi! The v6 in the Tacoma is an updated version of the old 2GR
    2
  10099. Hi! Disconnect the battery overnight and make sure your throttle body is clean.
    2
  10100. Every gasket on that engine is new.
    2
  10101. Yes it does. Try to avoid grinding the gears
    2
  10102. Hi! Is this car frequently driven very short distances?
    2
  10103. Hi! Likely high blow by
    2
  10104. 2018 and up has the A25A 2017 was the last year for the 2AR
    2
  10105. Toyota doesn’t sell a complete engine. A short block is about the most complete single part you can get
    2
  10106. Cam carrier is the correct term! Cam tower is more of a “street” term! The A25A can be a nightmare at times! I did a similar video on it
    2
  10107. Hi Jermey! So they have a very specific instruction not to hone or service the blocks. It even extends to not resurface the block or the cylinder head on chain driven engines as it alters the timing.
    2
  10108. Hi’ it is mainly caused by the oil consumption. So at the same time that oil is being burned, when the piston goes up to compress some of that compression leaks into the crank case forcing a lot of vapor which is not filled with burned oil called blow by into the pcv system. There’s just too much of that which will end up as oil in the intake which eventually makes its way into the combustion chamber in large amounts and ends up carboning everything
    2
  10109. Hi! I wouldn’t worry as that’s too low mileage to cause harm. Just from this point forward take care of the maintenance and you won’t have issues
    2
  10110. Yes. No need to bleed them if you didn’t open the hydraulic circuit which if you’re just replacing pads and rotors like this video you won’t open the hydraulic circuit
    2
  10111. The Kia Soul seems to be a reliable car. I don’t have significant experience with Kia in general but this car is owned by a friend and they seem to have little issues with it and seems to be reliable so far. Toyota in my opinion has it more reliability than some Kia models.
    2
  10112. There’s a big debate in the auto industry about the screws that hold the rotors. Some say that it’s used to hold the rotors, however there’s another more proven theory which is hub design, in Toyota for example the hub and the rotors interfere and the hub located the rotor in the middle. On that Kia it does not and you could actually move the rotor. My argument with the first theory of assembly. I have been in an assembly plant and trust me big manufacturers will make every step to save pennies on production. They would have reused those screws between cars. Also why does Toyota rotors don’t have that, Toyota assembly plants are not safe? Not a chance. The sonata is known for the rear brakes seizing up due to the toad salt. Regularly servicing the brakes by cleaning everything and making sure nothing is seized is the only way to keep it going without issues
    2
  10113. Driving them for a few miles usually does that. Dealerships typically take the care for a short test drive as well.
    2
  10114. Hi! Here’s the video for your 2018 highlander filters https://youtu.be/WNo-VXJSg7s
    2
  10115. Either erase codes even though there’s no codes or clear the issue then drive it will go out automatically
    2
  10116. Hi! Thank you for watching my video! Some Toyota technicians check these filters and recommend them if they’re dirty. I would consider doing this yourself to save. You need a 90 degree pick find it here https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000NPPBQK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_M0F-FbAWT52ZA
    2
  10117. I’m working on getting a video out for that. It’s actually very simple. 2 filters on either side of the front seats which take 2 minutes to clean
    2
  10118. Congratulations on your purchase! I’m planning to film that video for your car soon!
    2
  10119. That is correct
    2
  10120. Hi! A video for your car I hope is coming sometime in February.
    2
  10121. I haven’t made a video on one yet. Looking for a volunteer car to film with in the Chicago area
    2
  10122. Hi! The venza is good my only issue with it is the price which seems a bit high. I would drive both and see which one you like better. They drive very similar as they have the same hybrid system but it goes down to taste at that point.
    2
  10123. Hi gram! If the fan gets dirty it would need cleaning. However if you have a filter then the chances of the fan getting dirty are very minimal as the filter will catch all the dirt before it makes it to the fan
    2
  10124. Similar to the RAV4 but only one vent on the drivers side of the back seat.
    2
  10125. Most dealerships will have that as a 2 stage service. One of them is for cars that has no filter it will cost more to clean the actual fan and install a filter. And another service for cars with a filter to just clean the filter or replace it which is cheaper. I have a compressor and an air chuck. The compressor is from Home Depot a husky 30 gallon. A bit on the small side for what I use it for but for a homeowner it’s great. And the chuck can be bought at any parts store or even harbor frieght.
    2
  10126. In your prime the filters should come out on the sides of the back seat much easier than the rav4
    2
  10127. They’re nice cars. I would drive it and make sure you like it and all it’s features
    2
  10128. G90. Review coming soon on the second channel
    2
  10129. It could be a small exhaust leak. I would have the exhaust checked closely.
    2
  10130. I don’t really have experience with modifications on these
    2
  10131. Hi! I would clean the valve cover leak and see how it progresses. And I would get the plugs changed
    2
  10132. You can do that.
    2
  10133. Hi! Same advice applies these are good cars if the engine doesn’t burn oil
    2
  10134. You could contact your local dealership with the vin no asking if the customer support program that was open for this issue is completed. If not look for signs of the engine being apart. Original factory sealer is grey. Repair sealer that’s used by the dealership is black.
    2
  10135. Hi! I would check that engine if it’s been repaired for oil burning. If it’s not I would be careful as they are very known to burn oil.
    2
  10136. I wouldn’t call it phony I have personally repaired well over 400 engines under that campaign.
    2
  10137. Hi! Either check the sealer on the engine if it’s black or call your local dealership with the vin and ask them to chexk
    2
  10138. I would keep it just keep an eye on the oil level. If it’s burning oil and you keep the oil level up you should have no issues.
    2
  10139. These corollas are good cars. If it’s in good shape and has been taken care of. It’s a very good car to buy.
    2
  10140. Hi! The same advice applies. The hybrids are good in this generation but the engine has the same engine burning problems if not fixed by the dealership by the campaign
    2
  10141. Interesting. I haven’t really had issues after rebuilding with oil burning
    2
  10142. I see. You mentioned the engine was rebuilt. Who rebuilt the engine?
    2
  10143. Hi! Which year and how often were the oil changes done after the rebuild?
    2
  10144. Victor Bravo thank you! So yes they are somewhat dim. A solution would be to buff them if they’re yellowed and after that invest in some LED or HID lights of good quality and things should get better
    2
  10145. Yeah that’s a common issue with these. It does have a fix but can be expensive as the pistons and rings have to be replaced with updated ones
    2
  10146. Get it at least 4-5k rpms over a few gears. You might notice a small cloud of smoke come out when you do that which is normal. And the first time you do that the smell will be too much. But as you drive it, it will get better.
    2
  10147. The rotten egg smell is typically from the catalytic converters. If you make it a habit every week to drive the car a little harder than usual at higher rpm after a few weeks it should clear up.
    2
  10148. Ok I see. If you don’t mind me asking how’s your driving style? On your normal drives do you get the engine at higher rpms or usually keep things calm?
    2
  10149. That’s an interesting one. Could you film a video and email it to me so I can listen?
    2
  10150. Hi Dominic! Thank you! It’s the magic of editing and color correction!
    2
  10151. Hi! If it’s a 4 cylinder I’d be careful as those tend to burn oil if not maintained. Check for leaks and noises from the suspension
    2
  10152. Hi! The v6 doesn’t consume oil. The 2005-2010 Avalon is a very good car just make sure you check the engine for oil leaks as they are somewhat common especially the older ones.
    2
  10153. If it’s in good condition and taken care of that engine can last. Make sure you cold start it to make sure it doesn’t make grinding noises when starting cold
    2
  10154. Likely 3000-4000 dollars at a dealership. A bit less elsewhere and that’s the best case scenario if no more damage is found
    2
  10155. I have not made a video about them but in the future I will.
    2
  10156. Yes I meant 2003 😂
    2
  10157. The engine is the most important. Also keep up the maintenance on the hybrid filter
    2
  10158. The original fuel pumps are known to last a very long time and they’re much better than aftermarket
    2
  10159. The 2010-2011 has worse oil consumption issues if not maintained right. And a lot of Them were not maintained right. This only applies to the 4 cylinder engine
    2
  10160. On the v6?
    2
  10161. Yes. They do tend to make a piston slap noise when cold but that’s normal for that engine and nothing to worry about
    2
  10162. Could be an intake leak or a mass air flow issue
    2
  10163. Hi! If the pump has no leaks and is original and doesn’t have any play or roughness it should be good. If it fails in the future then replace it. It’s not that hard to replace.
    2
  10164. It's not likely that the heater core is leaking. You would be loosing coolant. I would suspect 3 things. If your car has a sunroof I would check the sun roof drains if they're clogged that could be your issue. 2nd I would check your windshield for leaks, especially if it's been replaced before. 3rd and least likely is the AC drain which usually makes the passenger side wet but wouldn't hurt to check it if all the other 2 don't pan out.
    2
  10165. Not really. We rarely see scion tCs with the 2AR to track their oil consumption issues but I’ve seen a few with oil consumption
    2
  10166. If the oil burning issue has been fixed with new pistons then I would keep it. Other than this issue this is a solid car that’s very reliable with little problems which it looks like you’ve taken care of them already.
    2
  10167. I’m not sure about Asian domestic market but this issue affected all Camry 2AZ-FE engines sold in the US regardless of where they were made
    2
  10168. They usually last a very long time if taken care of. If your engine burns oil make sure you keep topping it off and you should have no issues there as well
    2
  10169. Glad I could help.
    2
  10170. I would take it to the dealership for a pre purchase inspection so you wouldn’t buy a problem car.
    2
  10171. Hi! I would get the engine fixed. Because other than burning oil these engines don’t have many other problems. If you fix the engine it’s actually a very good car otherwise
    2
  10172. Hi! I don’t know of a spray on sealer. It’s best to solve leaks by fixing them properly not by using products to stop the leak.
    2
  10173. Hard question to answer. They’re both good engines however for the 4 cylinder you wanna make sure it’s been fixed for the oil consumption otherwise it’s a very good engine and very DIY friendly. The v6 is also a great engine however some of the oil leaks and generally working on it is harder than the 4 cylinder and less DIY. With both if you buy one that’s taken care of you won’t have big issues. Just don’t buy a 4 cylinder that wasn’t fixed for oil consumption no way to test it and you won’t know if it’s burning oil or not until you’re a few months after buying the car.
    2
  10174. Hi! Email me at thecarcarenut@gmail.com with the subject Chicago service request
    2
  10175. I would call the dealership and ask if the campaign for oil burning was done. If not unfortunately replacing the pistons and rings will be needed to fix it and that can be expensive. You can drive the car just keep an eye on the oil level.
    2
  10176. E.G. IV 1 owner cars are usually nicer since they took care of it from day 1. The V6 doesn’t burn oil and is a solid engine. Only issue with that engine is oil leaks but if it has been kept up likely things were fixed. Just make sure it’s not covered in oil underneath the car.
    2
  10177. Thank you!
    2
  10178. Thank you Vilson! Maybe one day when she’s ready!

  10179. 5th gens are really reliable. They’ve been the same for a long time so they’re fine tuned at this point
    2
  10180. Thank you!
    2
  10181. Thank you my brother!
    2
  10182. Thank you!!
    2
  10183. Thank you!
    2
  10184. Thank you!
    2
  10185. Thank you!

  10189. Hi! A 2019 highlander is a good SUV. The transmission shifts odd which some people might not like, but otherwise it's a good SUV to buy.
    2
  10190. Thank you! Best wishes with your career switch!
    2
  10191. Thank you!
    2
  10192. Thank you
    2
  10193. Thank you!
    2
  10194. Thank you!
    2
  10195. Thank you!
    2
  10196. We'll leave that conversation for another one of this type videos ;-)
    2
  10197. Thank you!
    2
  10198. Thank you my brother. I’m in the Chicago area
    2
  10199. Thank you! I agree with John. You likely overcharged the system. I would find a shop you trust and have them use a machine to recover everything. put the system in a vacuum for 30 minutes and recharge it to the exact correct amount.
    2
  10200. Yep! With a 7M?
    2
  10201. A very small Arab American church with services in english.
    2
  10202. Thank you!
    2
  10203. Thank you!
    2
  10204. Hi! The originals will always be better as they are fully new except the case. Hear good things about green bean but don’t have personal experience with them.
    2
  10205. Thank you!
    2
  10206. Thank you!
    2
  10207. Hi! Maintenance is the biggest thing. For some reason you’ll see a lot of these that are in very poor shape because of lack of maintenance and care. Be careful especially if it’s a cheap one.
    2
  10208. Thank you Johnny! I’ve always lived in the Chicago area since immigrating here.
    2
  10209. Keep up the good work there at TMMK! You guys produce fine cars!
    2
  10210. Thank you!
    2
  10211. Thank you!
    2
  10212. Hi! I already have. Here’s the video https://youtu.be/2TxBiMQCLlg
    2
  10213. Thank you!
    2
  10214. Thank you!
    2
  10215. Thank you!
    2
  10216. Very interesting question. Likely a Ferrari 400 stashed in the most remote area. An area where you don’t even expect to see a car let alone a Ferrari lol
    2
  10217. Amen!
    2
  10218. They do have a tendency to warp towards the end of the brakes life.
    2
  10219. I personally would go for a 4Runner as they drive nicer.
    2
  10220. Depends on your needs. If you really don’t have use for a bed to haul things I would get the 4Runner. It’s better driving and more reliable
    2
  10221. Hi! Brake life will vary honestly depending on your driving conditions and habits. I would inspect them every service. When they get to 3mm they’re on alert. If you have a long trip I would replace them then. Otherwise you can go as low as 1mm just know that going from 5-3mm is much slower than the progress from 3-1mm so keep an close eye on them after 3mm
    2
  10222. Not really. This is something that happens over time more than mileage and only in areas where road salt is used.
    2
  10223. It’s not difficult to DIY. I plan to make a video in the future and there are plenty of good guides on YouTube to do it yourself if you’re handy with cars.
    2
  10224. Hi! Any chance you can record it to verify? If you press the brake pedal exactly at the same time of the test it could do a strange noise
    2
  10225. Because of the hydraulic booster that your car has it will have that feeling. I would still take it to the dealership to make sure because I can’t feel it myself but from your description it sounds normal for your truck
    2
  10226. Hi! That’s normal for these.
    2
  10227. It is a common issue with no only 4runners but with all Toyota models.
    2
  10228. Hi! Yes it’s actually very similar to hybrids but the hybrids have a bit more added to it
    2
  10229. Hi! Honestly I would replace the rotors on 4runners.
    2
  10230. Hi! I only recall a single 5th generation 4Runner failure on a 2010 model but there was questions around it and suspected low fluid for a long time. It had over 200k miles. Otherwise I have seen many 2003-2009 model years fail. Usually high mileage and usually older ones more than the newer ones. I’ve seen many 5th generation 4runners with over 200k miles and they don’t have issues and still on the original unit
    2
  10231. Will do! Actually in this Saturday’s video!
    2
  10232. Likely one of the motors for the hvac sticking and needs replacement. You’ll need to find which one and replace it
    2
  10233. Hi! Not really sure until it comes out
    2
  10234. It’s the and actuator doing it’s self calibrate. Similar to the 4Runner
    2
  10235. Hi! Mostly the frame not the body
    2
  10236. Hi! That’s a classic brake squeal. Take the brakes apart and apply grease at the back of the pads between the pad and shims
    2
  10237. Hi! That’s normal because of the hydraulic booster
    2
  10238. Hi! The one I had was a premium package TRd off road. Also the diff lock can be bypassed but not recommended
    2
  10239. Hi! P1604?
    2
  10240. That hum would make me not want to drive the car! That’s why I went away from them
    2
  10241. This!
    2
  10242. Honestly dealership. They’re not expensive at all
    2
  10243. Likely not. They are original and they hold for a surprising amount of time
    2
  10244. Repair manual is the safest way as it tells you. In this case they are aluminum bolts that’s why
    2
  10245. It was actually a very good experience. Similar to bring a trailer. Team was super professional and I think it’s even more organized than bring a trailer. They give you a checklist at the end which is helpful
    2
  10246. If it’s a healthy engine with good driving habits it shouldn’t build carbon. However if it has some cleaners can help but honestly they don’t do miracles either
    2
  10247. Most dealerships would allow you to provide your own oil as long as it’s correct for the engine
    2
  10248. It would be the first Canadian Matrix! We already had a Canadian Venza as well.
    2
  10249. Hi! Hard to tell without diagnosis but start with simple things. Mounts exhaust shields.
    2
  10250. A reman alternator from Toyota is good.
    2
  10251. Not all of them will leak. I would think of it in this light. If it’s not leaking I wouldn’t worry about it. Most of them leaked within the warranty period but if it’s not leaking at the moment I wouldn’t worry about it. If you’re buying one make sure it’s not leaking and you’re good to go
    2
  10252. Actually that might be coming up next stand by!
    2
  10253. Thank you for your feedback Gary! I appreciate it
    2
  10254. The coolant on the 4 cylinder is a simple drain and fill and let it run until the fans come on and you’re good. If it’s a v6 it has a specific bleeding procedure which I am planning to make a video on to make it simple
    2
  10255. Yes I would replace the fluid every 60k at 100k it’s a bit late if it hasn’t been replaced but I would do it soon if not leave it alone
    2
  10256. Hi! At 100k I’d replace the coolant and at 120k I’d replace the spark plugs. Check the filters if dirty replace them and you should be good to go
    2
  10257. Hi! Depends on the year usually around 100
    2
  10258. Trust me the first time for me years ago wasn’t!
    2
  10259. Hi! Yes it will run on the battery
    2
  10260. Hi! You can change them separately
    2
  10261. Come on over before the coffee gets cold! Thank you!
    2
  10262. Close but not Greek
    2
  10263. The pump on this car has a gasket no sealer
    2
  10264. Hi! I don’t have videos on replace the tensioner or the water pump yet. They’re not hard to do. Tensioners the front and back are common to make noise in this engine
    2
  10265. 38 ft lbs
    2
  10266. Hi! That’s good.
    2
  10267. Hi! Check the ALT fuse
    2
  10268. If you disconnect the negative cable on the battery you don’t have to tie it off
    2
  10269. It was very easy to move. Make sure you are turning it in the correct direction.
    2
  10270. Ahmad Ghosheh or your 09 Camry v6? Lol I think in my opinion that’s the tightest one to do probably tied with 3rd gen rav4 v6
    2
  10271. Hi! Yes it’s the same
    2
  10272. The newer cars show amperage which I don’t like honestly. The semi older ones still showed voltage which I prefer.
    2
  10273. You’ll need a scan tool for that one.
    2
  10274. Hi! I would try to clean the throttle body and see if it improves.
    2
  10275. Hi! Video coming up in the near future about that subject
    2
  10276. Thank you for watching! So many factors could bring the fuel trim down but it also could be normal for the age of the car. Let me ask you this, do you have any symptoms?
    2
  10277. Hi Labeeb! So you are correct. Lean is less fuel more air. Rich is more fuel less air
    2
  10278. I think two way communication would be beneficial as you can activate things for testing. That would be interesting! I am looking into blue driver. All this aftermarket scan tools are new to me as I mainly use techstream and a snap on scan tool
    2
  10279. @fizout I want to find a scan tool that gives you good capabilities for a reasonable cost. Sure you can buy a $3000 scan tool that can do everything or get techstream for $495 plus almost $3000 every year for subscription but a diy car owner can’t pay that just to fix a car every once in a while. There has to be a scan tool out there that can do enough to make it worth awhile for diagnosis and I’ll find it one day and review it
    2
  10280. Hi! It’s not. It’s running too lean.
    2
  10281. Hi! I have heard of lacquer thinner however it is not a recommended method as the potential damage it would cause to o2 sensors can be permanent. The correct way to fix a fault catalytic converter is simply to replace it but more importantly find out why it failed. More on this on Saturday’s video
    2
  10282. Do you remember any change to the car when the mileage dropped? Like a specific maintenance or repair?
    2
  10283. Hi’ I am actively searching for the best alternative for techstream that’s on a budget. I reviewed Carista but it needs some more features to be the ultimate one. You can get techstream but the monthly subscription is ridiculous and doesn’t make sense for diy
    2
  10284. Hi! It’s a hybrid model. And I would go with the one that fits your needs. They’re all good
    2
  10285. We don’t have that engine so my information is limited on it
    2
  10286. That affected 75 of them exactly
    2
  10287. Hi! Yes they use Toyota CVT fluid and replacement every 60k is recommended
    2
  10288. Hi! It’s confusing because in the US we don’t have the 2.0 in hybrid. So either the 1.8 in a hybrid or a non hybrid 2.0 is what I recommend
    2
  10289. Thank you for your comment. Every car has water come inside the door through the window seal but have openings to drain the water and the salt stays.
    2
  10290. Hi! Good cars honestly. Basic and honest to god.
    2
  10291. I second that. Many cars come through the shop with over 200k and there’s no issues with the CVT
    2
  10292. Hi! First replacement at 5 years or 100k miles then every 50k miles after that
    2
  10293. I would. Because it’s a bigger car. The 20 corolla might have nicer features though
    2
  10294. Hi! Personally 18 Camry not because it’s better they’re the same reliability wise but the Camry is bigger and more comfortable
    2
  10295. I actually don’t have much information on it but I assume it’s similar to the 2.5 with the hybrids
    2
  10296. Hi! On that engine be carful as the timing can jump. Make sure you remove the valve cover and don’t let the chain drop as it’s common to jump a tooth at the crank
    2
  10297. Hi! Nothing wrong with the LE. It really depends on your needs
    2
  10298. Hi! I did. Find it here https://youtu.be/i8FON3-RYks
    2
  10299. Hi! Make the drive normally. avoid hard acceleration and consider a break in oil change at 1000 miles.
    2
  10300. Hi! That is correct I should’ve worded it better and emphasized that.
    2
  10301. Hi! Shouldn’t be
    2
  10302. No real information on this yet. They might’ve made a change but didn’t publish anything on it yet
    2
  10303. Hi! Here’s the link to it! Thanks I’ll add it to the description https://youtu.be/9GWKBbEMCC4
    2
  10304. Hi! I would personally
    2
  10305. It’s very similar to this one. I’ll do a review on that when I get one
    2
  10306. Hi! Dont neutral drop it! But a hard take off wouldn’t break it
    2
  10307. Hi! I did a video on drive modes find it here https://youtu.be/r4iuj-bIRRU
    2
  10308. Hi! If it’s written in your owners manual then it’s good don’t worry
    2
  10309. Should be a CVT. Check for a trans dipstick if you don’t see one then it’s CVt
    2
  10310. They are also good so far
    2
  10311. It should be ok at this point with the valvematic
    2
  10312. That’s not a major issue I wouldn’t worry. These things have been very good. I’ve seen at least two that I remember with over 100k miles
    2
  10313. They have a much longer warranty on them now if you are in the us. I wouldn’t worry about the battery
    2
  10314. When it comes out
    2
  10315. Hard to tell exactly as they seem all over. But definitely I see more LE and SE models more than XLE and XSE
    2
  10316. Hi! They are both reliable but the Camry is a bigger car honestly I’d go with it
    2
  10317. Hi! Just follow the maintenance by time instead of miles and you should be good.
    2
  10318. Hi! It doesn’t. Just wired
    2
  10319. Hi! Only works with models that have apple CarPlay
    2
  10320. Hi! I’ll need to look them up I don’t have access at this time
    2
  10321. Hi! 30 should do it
    2
  10322. Hi! They’re exactly the same just different packaging
    2
  10323. Hi! The plug itself is inexpensive to replace on the car
    2
  10324. Hi! Every week or two actually if you don’t drive highway often
    2
  10325. Yes it is! Almost 500 miles in and I’ll do a review on it soon
    2
  10326. Hi! Yes it is. Hoping to film the review soon
    2
  10327. I’ve owned and used the van tru one and I like it so far
    2
  10328. Hi! That’s a comma ai not a dash cam. Review coming soon on that
    2
  10329. Hi! The paint itself is more expensive that’s why. Otherwise they are painted the same way
    2
  10330. Hi! You talk handsfree through apple CarPlay when connected. You can also initiate calls from apple CarPlay as well
    2
  10331. If you find one in good shape it’s a good van
    2
  10332. Hi! It’s possible a rear latch. Will need some diagnosis to verify
    2
  10333. That is correct
    2
  10334. Hi! If the brakes are bled and have no air in the system it’s likely an abs actuator
    2
  10335. Be careful and check it against everything that I mentioned
    2
  10336. Hi! If you can find a very clean 2005-2006 they are more DIY friendly. The 2008 is good but less DIY friendly on the engine. Everything else is simple on all those vans
    2
  10337. I don’t really have experience with repairing ABS actuators. I would research online.
    2
  10338. I agree with surfside. That’s a very good budget and I would look at 2012-2016 the later ones might be a bit out of the budget but still look for them.
    2
  10339. An o2 sensor simulator doesn’t work in newer cars around 2006 and up in most models some earlier. The computer does a test to check its o2 sensors. More on that with the catalytic converter video
    2
  10340. So the air fuel ratio looks at the whole bank not individual cylinders. More on that on advanced diagnostic video
    2
  10341. Hi! They are not maintenance items. If it’s not broken don’t fix it.
    2
  10342. Hi! That is one that is somewhat common which I will cover in advanced diagnosis. So there’s no direct explanation but it’s in the computer logic because it’s comparing the readings off of the 2 sensors and it thinks the 2nd one is bad when it’s actually the first one that it’s comparing it to that’s bad if that makes sense
    2
  10343. Hi! Yes that should be ok
    2
  10344. Hi brother. So if the catalytic converters are not changed the back pressure doesn’t change much with a cat back system. Cats create the biggest restriction in any exhaust system. If the cats are original then no programming is needed
    2
  10345. Hi! If you’re replacing the spark plugs you have to remove the coils. I wouldn’t replace them unless they have issues
    2
  10346. Hi! These sensors don’t have a replacement interval. If it’s not broken don’t fix it applies to these. They could really last the life of the car or could fail before that.
    2
  10347. Hi! The sensors have no batteries. They are operated with the 12v system of the car.
    2
  10348. If you can find one in a junk yard I’d give it a shot. Manifolds can be pretty expensive to replace. The new sensor might not work as long as a new one but if you’re doing the work yourself it might be worth trying.
    2
  10349. You’re running too rich at idle. That’s likely why it doesn’t want to stay in closed loop. Change the mapping for idle. Try to decrease fuel at idle
    2
  10350. Hi! How do you know it’s in open loop?
    2
  10351. Hi! That depends on your driving. I recommend 8000km if you make short trips here and there.
    2
  10352. Hi! That could be the cold weather. Erase the codes and see if it comes back
    2
  10353. They are cheaper quality but still ok. For mechanical parts it’s ok but for electronics I wouldn’t use them
    2
  10354. Hi! I will get into this in detail in the catalytic converter video but the basic idea is that you don’t want sensor 1 and 2 to have a similar signal. Sensor 2 will be more steady and not switching back and forth
    2
  10355. Hi! Your Prius doesn’t have carbs. If you’re referring to cleaning the combustion chamber normal driving at highway speeds would do in a hybrid Toyota as the engine tends to rev higher as you merge into the highway.
    2
  10356. Thank you Alex! Those Camry models with the 3 sensors are kinda rare in Illinois but every once in a while we get one and it always attracts attention in the shop
    2
  10357. Hi! I haven’t tried it myself honestly
    2
  10358. Hi! It just manipulates the signal of the throttle and is usually plug and play
    2
  10359. They’re really the same.
    2
  10360. Hi! Honestly there’s a lot of factors that could be the cause and a dealership can take it apart to find out but that will cost a lot more than simply replacing it. They are refusing because they don’t want to charge you for the investigation. You can call corporate and see if they offer anything
    2
  10361. Hi! Personally I like the 4runner more
    2
  10362. I am not aware of one made of metal yet
    2
  10363. Hi! Those were limited to the early ones in 2016-2017 very few 2018s but after that I haven’t seen any
    2
  10364. Hi! You will likely need 2 sensors replaced
    2
  10365. Hi! So I’ve tried it both ways pull the engine vs pull the front diff out and the front diff method works much better. It really depends on the tech that works on the car. As you know cleanliness of surfaces when applying sealer is vital to the longevity of the repair. I fully understand your hesitation and I would try to get to know the tech that’s working on it and preferable that it’s someone who’ve done this job before.
    2
  10366. Hi! They are starting to become more common. So far no word from Toyota
    2
  10367. Hi! Hard to put mileage on it the ones I’ve replaced varies from 10k-60k all under warranty. The part likely has been updated but there’s no TSB for it
    2
  10368. Hi Mark. You are right on the solid rear axle. That’s no alignment for the rear of the Tacoma. If the rear alignment is out there’s some bent and majorly bent like a bent frame. Nothing to worry about there as far as rear alignment on the Tacoma
    2
  10369. Hi! It seems like a change was made between the end of the 2017 model year into 2018 but it’s not confirmed or officially published
    2
  10370. Hi! In 2022 most if not all are resolved
    2
  10371. Hi! If memory serves right It doesn’t have hydraulic lifter
    2
  10372. Hi! Likely it’s either the purge valve or the direct injection which is loud on these and comes and goes.
    2
  10373. None that I am aware of
    2
  10374. Hi! They do vibrate a bit at idle. I would need to feel the vibration to tell you for sure it’s normal or not. What year and how many miles?
    2
  10375. Hi! They are both very good. The tundra is equivalent to a Silverado. The Tacoma is smaller and closer to a Colorado. If you don’t need the high towing capacity of the tundra a Tacoma might serve you well
    2
  10376. Hi! That’s normal. Most transmissions will not shift as smooth when they’re cold
    2
  10377. I hear you. Congratulations in advance
    2
  10378. Hi! 2016 and up
    2
  10379. Hi! I haven’t seen it in other years other than 16-17 I wouldn’t worry
    2
  10380. At this mileage not much really. Just regular oil changes and tire rotations
    2
  10381. That’s a bit much for a short period of time on the warranty
    2
  10382. It wouldn’t hurt. But they’re also not known for severe oil in the intake issues
    2
  10383. Hi! There’s no serviceable fuel filter. Only the one attached to the fuel pump in the tank which lasts the life of the truck
    2
  10384. Hi! You could if you’re paying for it. If under warranty they need to verify the concern first
    2
  10385. Does it go up and down rapidly?
    2
  10386. Hi! I haven’t run into this. Do you have any information about the failures?
    2
  10387. Hi! Both are good. If you are worried about new technology the 2nd gen is tried and true just don’t buy a rusty one. And the 2nd gen shows it’s age
    2
  10388. Hi! You can service your leased car anywhere as long as there’s a record for its maintenance.
    2
  10389. Hi! Directly from Toyota they don’t
    2
  10390. Hi! I haven’t seen that yet. Which year and was it a clamp issue or installation issue?
    2
  10391. Hi! It will identify the location
    2
  10392. Hi my brother honestly other than the headlights, adaptive cruise control and slightly different radio and of course the fox shocks everything else is the same. If you off road it might be worth it otherwise it might not be. But it’s up to you and I totally understand how cool the trd pro 4runner is
    2
  10393. Hi! No issues switching between brands. I personally like and use Toyota branded oil. And your truck needs 0w20 full synthetic
    2
  10394. Hi! No issues with 2016 Prius head gasket
    2
  10395. Hi! Reliability overall the 4Runner
    2
  10396. It’s not a particularly super powerful engine and it’s a somewhat heavy truck.
    2
  10397. Hi! I don’t work in a shop that’s unionized but some Toyota dealerships are
    2
  10398. The GX has the same thing. Use a piece of paper to transfer the oil to. This way you’ll get an accurate reference of oil level if it’s hard to read on the dipstick
    2
  10399. The transfer case on your GS shares the fluid with the transmission. So if you replace the transmission fluid you replaced the transfer case fluid as well. And it use Toyota ATF WS
    2
  10400. I would let it drain the excess amount a bit then shut it off and let it cool down and recheck it
    2
  10401. Hi! Honestly I wouldn’t. WS fluid absorbs moisture. I would use new sealed fluid
    2
  10402. Usually around 2.5-3.5 depending on the model
    2
  10403. Should be the same.
    2
  10404. Should be 95-113
    2
  10405. I would just do a drain and fill
    2
  10406. It is the same but make sure you use the correct fluid. Practice the light procedure first before draining and filling.
    2
  10407. Hi! You’re still in time to change it without issues. Do a drain and fill and you’re all set
    2
  10408. Hi! This will vary by area or dealership but I’d say 200-300 is right.
    2
  10409. Hi! Yes put it in park. A drain and fill is safer if the car has higher miles
    2
  10410. Just changing the fluid you don’t need calibration. Any other work to the transmission then you should get it calibrated. Start checking the fluid at the beginning of the fluid range and stop if it goes over.
    2
  10411. I wouldn’t flush a cvt transmission. The problem could be a calibration but it would need to be inspected in person.
    2
  10412. Hi! On transmissions with a dipstick this procedure doesn’t apply. Drain and fill with the same amount then use the dipstick with the car running to check the level.
    2
  10413. Thank you for watching my video. The 18 Camry doesn’t have a cooler bypass.
    2
  10414. Hi! Some of the newest models doesn’t have the pin present and In that case you’ll need a scan tool
    2
  10415. 95-113
    2
  10416. You’d be surprised! I would still check it.
    2
  10417. You don’t know if the fluid level was right to begin with and if you’ve done all the work of measuring and adding might as well finish the job and check the fluid level.
    2
  10418. It does but if the fluid has never been changed before I would leave it alone at this point. You could cause more harm than good.
    2
  10419. Hi! 95-114
    2
  10420. Hi! Should be around 99-113
    2
  10421. JimsGarageToys yes sir! That’s a good suggestion thank you!
    2
  10422. I would have the dealership check it since it’s still under warranty. It could be a fluid level issue
    2
  10423. Hi! Thank you for watching my channel! My system is down at the moment. I’ll get you the temps in the morning when it’s back. Just reply to this comment so I won’t miss it
    2
  10424. Hi! No your car uses Toyota CVT FE fluid
    2
  10425. Hi! This is the same process on your CVT transmission. I would still check the fluid afterwards. It’s not hard and if you’ve done all the work to replace it might as well check the level to be sure. I don’t know of any fluid alternative honestly.
    2
  10426. Hi! Not something simple to get to. I wouldn’t worry about it just change the fluid every 60k or 6 years
    2
  10427. Some folks had success with scan gauge showing the fluid temp.
    2
  10428. Hi! There is but it’s not normally replaced and doesn’t cause issues if the fluid is replaced on time
    2
  10429. Hi! I don’t have experience with a specific brand or kit to add however I would look at kits with a thermostat
    2
  10430. Hi! Just change the fluid using toyota CVT fluid
    2
  10431. Hi! I wouldn’t change it if the fluid is changed on time
    2
  10432. If the fluid is replaced on time you don’t have to on toyotas
    2
  10433. Hi! Some of the manual language varies on this. It’s essentially the same thing
    2
  10434. 95-113 for your Camry. Thank you for watching
    2
  10435. Every once in a while I get a customer at work wanting to replace the filter and I always think what a waste of money when the filter I take out is as clean as the new one
    2
  10436. Hi! Yes
    2
  10437. As long as it’s relatively level it’s good. For example if it’s a steep driveway or you’re only lifting the front of the car off the ground then it’s not level. But using 4 similar jack stands on a relatively level surface should be good
    2
  10438. I would buy the fluid from Toyota. It’s called Toyota WS ATF
    2
  10439. Hi! So your car will have a single drain plug at the bottom with a 10mm hex and the overflow tube is underneath it. That’s the new cvt transmission. And I wouldn’t worry about the filter in your transmission
    2
  10440. Hi! It’s the same procedure for your TRD pro. The temp range is 104-113
    2
  10441. Hi! The trans pan is not straight. So using it as a reference is not accurate. The idea is to replicate the car parked on a flat surface. As long as it’s somewhat flat like on 4 equal jack stands it’s good. Have for example the front only lifted and the back on the floor is not good.
    2
  10442. Hi! 95-113 Is the temp range
    2
  10443. Hi’ no cooler bypass and 95-113
    2
  10444. I would change it soon. Consider just a drain and fill and you should be good
    2
  10445. Thank you! Glad to help. Your 18 Camry trans temp will be 95-113 F for adjustment range.
    2
  10446. Hi! The flush is different we use a machine that goes on the lines to take fluid and add fluid at the same time. Setting the fluid level after is exactly the same as the video we just use the scan tool method
    2
  10447. Hi! It’s likely they used the wrong fluid or the level is wrong. Check both. If everything looks good unfortunately it will need a transmission
    2
  10448. Hi! That doesn’t have one. The cooler bypass doesn’t allow the fluid to run through the transmission cooler when the fluid is cold. That started with 2017 highlanders with the 8 speed
    2
  10449. The Venza is a nice hybrid suv. The nx will be somewhat similar just with different looks and higher quality materials and likely more expensive
    2
  10450. If it’s a very faint whining noise that’s continuous that could be a normal noise that I wouldn’t be concerned about. Regarding the door the hinge is likely seizing up. Call your local Toyota dealership and ask them about coverage if it applies to your van. If it does they’ll fix it for free
    2
  10451. Your Camry doesn’t have the valve only on some highlander and sienna models
    2
  10452. Hi! 95-113
    2
  10453. Hi! Engine running in park
    2
  10454. I’m glad the video was helpful! I hear you on the uh oh moment! Every mechanics been there.
    2
  10455. 95-113
    2
  10456. Hi! It doesn’t. You’ll just need to drive the car to get it warmed up the check it with the engine running in park
    2
  10457. Yes
    2
  10458. Hi! Drain and fill until it overflows and you’re set
    2
  10459. Happy new year! Good truck if taken care of. Similar to the 4Runner just with a v8 and more options
    2
  10460. I think it’s overkill. A single drain and fill every 60k or 6 years will keep this transmission going
    2
  10461. Hi! No. Once the light comes on shift into park and keep the car running then drain the excess fluid
    2
  10462. Very good point. The more you watch the more knowledge you gain!
    2
  10463. Hi! You can if you can reach it and it is safe at 89k
    2
  10464. Hi! I typically don’t recommend you do a 2nd drain and fill. The earliest I would replace it again is 30k miles
    2
  10465. My pleasure.
    2
  10466. Thank you! I’m glad I could help!
    2
  10467. You’re welcome! Glad to help! I usually recommend replacement at 60k and 6 years you’re slightly over on mileage but it would be a different story if you had 150k. Get original fluid and practice the procedure to make sure you get the fluid level correct and you should have no issues.
    2
  10468. Yes it does. Practice it before you drain the fluid to get it working so you wouldn’t have issues after you drain the fluid. If you have any issues or questions let me know.
    2
  10469. Yes this works for your RAV4. I wouldn’t wait longer I would get it done soon if you plan on replacing the fluid.
    2
  10470. Hi! Yes it does work.
    2
  10471. Yes
    2
  10472. Hi! No. Hybrid transmissions are much simpler. Just a drain and fill. A video on this will come soon on the channel.
    2
  10473. Hi! 95-113
    2
  10474. A flush typically 12 quarts is used
    2
  10475. Hi! For drain and fill should be up to 5
    2
  10476. Hi! You’ll need to put the car in park then pull the jumper wire then wait for the d light to come on solid before checking the fluid level
    2
  10477. Ok the fluid level will need to be checked accurately and if that’s good. Reset the transmission memory with a scan tool and see if it improves.
    2
  10478. Hi! To change the transmission filter you need to drop the transmission pan. I would really recommend you replace the filter as you won’t gain much in Toyota transmissions. Your RAV4 hybrid transmission is completely different. This week I will have a video for those come out on the channel
    2
  10479. Hi! Should be at 99-111
    2
  10480. I would do the job complete. If you do that and you had low fluid to begin with it will remain
    2
  10481. You don’t know if your fluid level was accurate to start. There’s some fluid loss when you drain and fill and if errors are made you could further the incorrect level more.
    2
  10482. I wouldn’t worry. You’re good!
    2
  10483. You’re good. It’s just too cold for the transmission. If you had the trickle and then added what I told you, then you’re all set don’t worry about it.
    2
  10484. Hi! If you need it now get the current one 2021/2022 the new redesign I wouldn’t buy until at least 6 months
    2
  10485. Hi! The plastic housing seizes and cracks when it’s over tightened. It’s possible that they overtightened it
    2
  10486. I would bring it back to them. Usually the fuel pump for the 4Runner is very simple to do but if one of the o rings on the fuel pump rolls ( rare to happen) it could cause low fuel pressure.
    2
  10487. Hi! I personally wouldn’t. The plastic one lasts the life of the car if it’s not over tightened.
    2
  10488. Will cover KDSS in the suspension video
    2
  10489. Ahh gotcha. I wouldn’t worry about it too much. Change the differential fluid and see if anything changes
    2
  10490. Hi! Livestream today at 5pm
    2
  10491. Hi! It’s a GR series engines thing! No real reason just not enough insulation.
    2
  10492. Hi! If it’s followed by good maintenance the effect will be minimal
    2
  10493. Hi! I haven’t personally dealt with that company and their supercharger but from what I hear they are good. Reliability will always be affected but if you take care of the engine and transmission with maintenance the effect will be minimal
    2
  10494. Hi! In my personal opinion no. There has been other models made outside Japan that were very close to the reliability of the 4Runner but being ancient they kept it made at the same plant
    2
  10495. You don’t bother me.
    2
  10496. I can!
    2
  10497. You’re right. Working on tweaking my camera for auto focus in 4K. Following parts of the series will be better as I locked the focus
    2
  10498. Hi! I wish I had an answer for this one. Honestly play it safe and replace the engine oil at 1000 miles and call it a day.
    2
  10499. The fuel pumps recalled were a faulty part from a supplier. The ones before the recalled cars didn’t have a filter and didn’t have any issues.
    2
  10500. Hi! Yes it’s very common and I would use original shocks from a non xreas truck
    2
  10501. Hi! I would look into 4runners and highlanders
    2
  10502. I am not aware of mode to improve mpgs
    2
  10503. Hi! I’ve seen them go as early as 15-20k miles and typically last up to 40k miles
    2
  10504. Hi! I’ll cover that in an upcoming video. Overall they’re reliable on the 5th gen 4Runner. Some issues with the similar older models with the pump but I don’t see them a lot anymore especially on the 5th gen
    2
  10505. Honestly I would go with the current generation. Even if the new generation is wonderful I wouldn’t buy the first year if they change a lot and if they don’t then it would essentially be the same with different headlights and tail lights
    2
  10506. Hi! Thank you for watching my channel! 4runners from this generation 2010-2021 or the previous generation especially with a v8 are great! Only thing with the older ones don’t buy a rusty one! If you live in a state with no salt and snow you’re good.
    2
  10507. Video planned and coming soon
    2
  10508. Hi! Could clarify more on what specifically on the odometer that you are looking for?
    2
  10509. Hi! Drivetrain noise is normal for the 4runners.long story short they all make it. Record a video and let me hear it
    2
  10510. A slight wobble can be normal.
    2
  10511. Hi! It’s a recent bulletin I haven’t done one yet
    2
  10512. Hi! Do you have the stock tires or all terrain tires?
    2
  10513. The one shown in the video is the 5th generation 4Runner from 2010-2021
    2
  10514. Hi! No it’s not my 4Runner. Having it for a week almost made me drive one home though but the gas mileage is not the greatest and I need a fuel efficient car
    2
  10515. Hi! They are all good engines but the updated 4.0 and the old 4.7 V8 is a standout for reliability with the 4.0 being easier to work on
    2
  10516. Hi! So the 2020 RAV4 doesn’t have secondary air injection. The valve you’re referring to is the EGR valve
    2
  10517. Maybe 😉
    2
  10518. I would ask them to show you, take a picture and let me see it
    2
  10519. Hi! It is very reliable and simple likely is the reason
    2
  10520. Hi! It’s a different engine. Which year highlander are comparing it with?
    2
  10521. Hi! That’s normal on your corola
    2
  10522. Hi! When coming back out of storage I would just start the car normally and let it fully warm up in non EV mode or in hybrid mode. The engine will come on and circulate everything. Once it’s warmed up take it for a good drive to get everything moving
    2
  10523. Around 40% if I remember correctly
    2
  10524. At zero EV range you’re not actually at zero percent on the charge or not even close to it.
    2
  10525. That is a question that has been debated with the manufacturer before. The answer was not direct but production cost and value to the consumer were the reasons they don't put things like this in their production cars.
    2
  10526. Hi! It should charge the battery as well. If not try jump starting the battery with a jumper pack or another car if possible get the car started and drive it for half an hour
    2
  10527. Hi Kenneth! Higher octane fuel doesn’t really affect anything. A fuel stabilizer would work and having a small amount of fuel and refreshing it often is best in my opinion
    2
  10528. Hi! Regular hybrids don’t do anything with the cooling of the battery when the car is off so a cover would be ok. In winter I would start it and drive it around the block or keep it running for at least 30 minutes
    2
  10529. I don’t have an exact number for how low the battery is allowed to go in percentage. But the system is designed to shut down when the battery drops below a certain safe threshold to prevent a completely dead hv battery.
    2
  10530. Using your AC is advised in the winter to dehumidify the interior to avoid condensation and fog on the inside of the windows. All modern cars had protections for when the temperature is too cold. Then when everything warms up from the heat of the engine the AC turns on to dehumidify
    2
  10531. Hi! Some memory will be lost but can easily work again once the car is driven. It’s definitely better than having a dead battery.
    2
  10532. Hi! Thank you for watching my channel! So you should be perfectly fine with the high temps and your hybrid. However I would advise you consider a few things to help it. First if it’s legal within your area and doesn’t bother you, tinting the windows helps significantly. Another thing that’s even more important is that you maintain the cooling fan filter for the battery keeping the filter clean and making sure you know where the vent is and keep it clear. Also always use your air conditioning in the car as the hybrid battery uses that air conditioned air to cool the battery when needed.
    2
  10533. Hi! The hybrid battery is likely ok. But an early oil change is highly recommend in this scenario.
    2
  10534. Hi! Yes it’s safe to put it on a slow charge.
    2
  10535. Hi! It doesn’t deplete over a short period of time
    2
  10536. Hey brother. So almost all if not all Toyota’s have a pretty generous amount of buffer in the fuel tank so when the gauge reads absolutely zero there’s still enough fuel in the tank to keep the fuel pump going. I’d say if you have a gallon to 2 or less things can get hard for the fuel pump but again shortly after that the car will run out of fuel so it won’t be running with no fuel for long. But repeating this over a long time will cause issues over time.
    2
  10537. Yes it can work for a hybrid for the 12v battery.
    2
  10538. A battery maintainer is a small charge essentially with logic built into it to keep the battery charged while in storage. While they work great connecting them if for example parked outside can be an issue as they need to be connected to an outlet. Also some folks feel nervous leaving a charger plugged in when they’re not home.
    2
  10539. Yep! Rodents are responsible for at least 10-15 chewed up car at work every spring and fall and the stranglers in between! Worst one I’ve had was a brand new 4Runner TRD pro not even 1000 miles and that one was really bad. Regarding computers there’s no harm in disconnecting the battery for storage. Storage doesn’t happen every week. I’d rather you disconnect things than have a dead battery or dying battery for computers
    2
  10540. Hi! I honestly would save your money and use the provided cable
    2
  10541. That is correct
    2
  10542. I’m resting now actually! I film in sessions and now I’m off! Just editing
    2
  10543. Hi! It will use the AC based on the conditions. If it needs maximum AC it will use the lowest setting.
    2
  10544. I am not aware of issues with the exhaust.
    2
  10545. Hi Kevin. You can. Not recommended but you can.
    2
  10546. Hi! Check the brakes especially the back. You could have one or more that’s seized and causing the vibration.
    2
  10547. I’ll look into it. You’ve tried the 240v charging at home and it took 4 hours?
    2
  10548. Hi! Interesting on the charge point. Is that from a zero EV range?
    2
  10549. Hi! You can’t. You’ll need a 220v charger
    2
  10550. Hi! It doesn’t have serviceable filters just the 2 for the battery
    2
  10551. Hi! Is your auris hybrid?
    2
  10552. Hi! It will struggle a bit but it will eventually pull it
    2
  10553. Likely supply chain. They’re really in high demand and slow supply
    2
  10554. They should know about it as it’s an official trim
    2
  10555. I would change it. Dealerships like to pretend they don’t know
    2
  10556. I actually owned a mini van in the past. Only have 2 kids who are getting older so I don’t have one anymore
    2
  10557. Hi! It doesn’t. It has an electric power steering
    2
  10558. I would order one and wait if possible honestly
    2
  10559. Hi! If I get one I will
    2
  10560. Thank you!
    2
  10561. Unfortunately in this case you’ll need to reseed the immobilizer and get new keys if you need to make copies
    2
  10562. Hi! It shouldn’t be possible. Because it needs to pick up the key closest to the door outside
    2
  10563. Hi! You can program up to 7 keys
    2
  10564. Hi! If the installer is good you shouldn’t have any issues with an aftermarket remote starter
    2
  10565. Hi! It’s basically an encrypted series of numbers that you need to copy and enter in toyotas website after you’ve verified your status with Toyota and entered all relevant information. Then the website will decrypt the code and give you the series of numbers so you can proceed
    2
  10566. Hi! It does have a procedure to get the air out. I plan to make a video in the future. It does not have a bleeder
    2
  10567. Hi! Could you elaborate further. Your car has smart key? The part that I’m not getting is the grey part. Do you mean the body of the key?
    2
  10568. Hi! Anything is possible. Personally I haven’t seen this happen.
    2
  10569. If you start the car it will stay running even with the key out of it
    2
  10570. Hi! It won’t turn off the car at all. Reason being if the battery in the key dies. Some of the newest hybrid models has an auto shut off feature but it’s only when the car is in park
    2
  10571. Hi! Thank you for watching. Try doing this. Get a rubber mallet and when the truck is cold tap very lightly on the exhaust and see if you hear any rattling noises
    2
  10572. Hi Bruce. Hard to tell without diagnosis did the noise happen only when you’re moving and sounded like it increased with speed?
    2
  10573. It does but you’re using an authorized key to lock and unlock the doors so it’s good
    2
  10574. Yes that’s normal.
    2
  10575. Hi! Which model prime do you have?
    2
  10576. You should be able to program them. Mechanical keys can be reprogrammed even if they’re used
    2
  10577. Interesting. They always had the dot. Was their key aftermarket?
    2
  10578. It’s a mode to maximize fuel economy. Doesn’t work the best. Try it and see how it does for you
    2
  10579. That’s the filter. The fan is behind the back seat
    2
  10580. Key ID is a programmed number into the chip not a number written on the key.

  10581. Hi! You can’t you still need a registered key. Or treat the car as if you’ve lost all leys
    2
  10582. Hi! That used to work on older models but not anymore
    2
  10583. Hi! No way to track the signal.
    2
  10584. It’s a very short range signal that the coil on the start button picks up. Similar to the chip key signal that’s picked up
    2
  10585. You got it! One is coming in the next few weeks
    2
  10586. Hi! The fob as in lock/unlock other functions will work normally. The remote start function through the remote will work as long as you have an active account which on some models it’s 3 years included on some it can go up to 10 years included. After that it’s $8 dollars a month or $80 a year. That’s the information I have
    2
  10587. Hi! No worries about interference with another Toyota
    2
  10588. Hi! Yes that’s normal it’s just an indication that the immobilizer is set and working
    2
  10589. A few feet is good. Lock the car with the button then walk near the car until the lights on the key start flashing then walk back away from the car when they stop that’s the distance
    2
  10590. Hi! Likely needs a software update. Contact your dealership for the update
    2
  10591. Hi! Parts.Lexus.com will give you a discount from the dealership price and will be a trusted source.
    2
  10592. Yes. Usually called handshake
    2
  10593. Once you program the keys it should work. If not there’s a procedure to jump two terminals on the obd2 connector to make all modules recommunicate
    2
  10594. The modules should work on an older model but the keys will need to be reprogrammed
    2
  10595. Hi! It wouldn’t hurt to hide it in a pouch
    2
  10596. Hi! Yes the same apply to lexus
    2
  10597. Hi! Honestly my brother I don’t have first hand experience with this and haven’t really seen cases of thefts because of the key ID being stolen. You can disable the smart key function that is correct.
    2
  10598. The first generation smart key is not simple to work with from the service side. Programming it typically fails multiple times and you need to program the smart key function and immobilizer separately which is often not done right which leads to issues with the key not being picked up right
    2
  10599. Hi! You’ll need to reseed the system to program new master keys
    2
  10600. Hi! Yes the metal tag has a code that can be used to cut a metal key. In the case of smart keys it can be used to cut a metal insert for the smart key
    2
  10601. Hi! Dealerships will have the keys available
    2
  10602. Hi! Those were the years of confusion. Do you have a factory security system or VIP security system?
    2
  10603. Not easily and Likely not worth it honestly
    2
  10604. Hi! Honestly any battery of the right size will do. The original ones has been Panasonic or maxell
    2
  10605. Hi! He’ll need to reseed the immobilizer. He must have that capability if he says he can do iy
    2
  10606. Hi! No information on the oil used as it was sent out for inspection. And the cost was over 15k
    2
  10607. Hi! The only purpose of the cover is to insulate some of the sound. The part numbers will vary by model and VIN number
    2
  10608. Hi! They don’t anymore on the engines. But other parts yes
    2
  10609. Hi! It’s ok for the engine as it doesn’t start immediately at high rpm it gradually goes up
    2
  10610. I think it paid around 22 hours
    2
  10611. Hi! Installing a used engine is cheaper. Toyota doesn’t sell a whole assembled engine
    2
  10612. We recommend that to customers but in this case doubt we’ll see this car again since it’s a rental
    2
  10613. Yes everything was replaced
    2
  10614. Yes with slight differences on the accessories
    2
  10615. Hi! It should have one but best way to verify is looking the vin number in parts to see
    2
  10616. Warranty
    2
  10617. Hard to count an exact time as there was a bit down time between to order Parts. But a day and a half so around 12 hours ish
    2
  10618. Hi Joel! So 4 cylinders are good if you maintain them well. V6 engines are more robust and can withstand less than ideal maintenance however they tend to cost a bit more in maintenance and repairs as they’re bigger
    2
  10619. That’s how majority of not all modern engines are. Sealers actually work better than gaskets in that case
    2
  10620. Good question. Hard to tell. The oiling system might be an issue and could need modifications to cope
    2
  10621. Hi! There’s no pCV hose on this one. It’s built Into the intake
    2
  10622. None! Dealership where I work rarely stocked any new land cruisers
    2
  10623. Very little room in the back because of the power steering motor
    2
  10624. It would be but Toyota doesn’t offer a complete engine
    2
  10625. The sealer stringing. I caught that and went back to clean it.
    2
  10626. Hi! I would replace it with the spark plugs at around 120k and it’s not very hard to replace but a bit more involved than previous models
    2
  10627. Hi! Before taking the door panel off. Try folding the mirror and drive it. That whistle noise is usually from the mirror. Also try using painters tape to mask around the front of the glass on the outside and see if the sound stops
    2
  10628. The labor time was 20 something if memory serves right it’s been a while
    2
  10629. Hi chris! So in the newest hybrid configuration of the highlander I liked the 4 cylinder because it gets a power boost from the hybrid system. It’s not as fast as the previous model but it’s enough power but better gas mileage
    2
  10630. Not really very simple. No anti seize and torque to spec
    2
  10631. Hi! It is the same engine
    2
  10632. Yes but that’s not how warranty works
    2
  10633. On this engine it’s tough. I would just remove the cover
    2
  10634. Hi! Not yet!
    2
  10635. Hi! You won’t cause damage. But you won’t benefit either. The only time you would benefit is if the area you’re in doesn’t add ethanol to premium gas.
    2
  10636. Hi! Still no information on the V6 turbo which will be in the tundra. I agree on the LS v6 being very complicated. That could be the tundra engine or a 2GR turbo. Well find out very soon
    2
  10637. Poor maintenance for sure
    2
  10638. It’s an interference engine
    2
  10639. They were bent because the piston blew up. The timing chain was intact
    2
  10640. Hi! That gear drives the balance shaft
    2
  10641. I would look it up in the repair manual which it does list exact thicknesses in millimeters. On the 5.7 you’d need a good 2-3 mm bead and thicker on the area where components meet like where the heads meet the block
    2
  10642. Ok that could be normal as these tensioners do leave a bit of play. You could try to tighten the tensioner one more click. It’s a difficult procedure and risky as you could break the guide if not careful
    2
  10643. Does the tensioner have movement when it’s running or off?
    2
  10644. Hi! They’re not as common as some make it to be. I personally haven’t seen one yet. When you say your tensioner is failing what are the symptoms?
    2
  10645. Hi! Usually from what I’ve seen when toyota engines ingest water they bend a rod or hydro lock and you’ll see corrosion on the cylinder walls
    2
  10646. Hi! Upload a video on YouTube and reply with the link. Which year rav4?
    2
  10647. I would have it looked at especially since it’s still under warranty
    2
  10648. Very minor changes s Jet zire mentioned but mechanically they are very similar
    2
  10649. That’s why. You took it easy and then followed it up with good maintenance.
    2
  10650. Did you push the engine to its limit when you drove it?
    2
  10651. Hard to tell. But without a pattern of multiple engines doing this and it being a rental it goes more towards operator error than manufacturing
    2
  10652. I would have the dealership check for software updates and if they find none have them reset the transmission memory
    2
  10653. Hi! The data was not available. Either erased or was not caught no way to know
    2
  10654. Hi! So that is called operation history on Toyota’s and on this car it was empty. Cannot tell if it was erased or it just didn’t catch anything
    2
  10655. Hi! If you do off roading it wouldn’t be a bad idea. It does have an oil separator but honestly it’s not a good one
    2
  10656. Hi! That is normal. They tend to sound like a diesel because of the direct injection
    2
  10657. Thank you my brother. The Japanese warning was on the cylinder head likely they don’t want it dinged since it’s a machined surface. It’s still a mystery what happened to this one.
    2
  10658. It would have been yes but they don’t offer reman engines or full assembled engines
    2
  10659. Hi! That’s normal for those engines with the D4S
    2
  10660. Hi! Likely not. The one with the recall was a known manufacturing issue. This one is totally random
    2
  10661. That’s the problem with rental cars. With private owners you can ask questions about the driving conditions to understand but with rentals it’s hard
    2
  10662. The exact reason is still unknown but the valves bent because the piston blew up
    2
  10663. Happy Sunday!
    2
  10664. Hi brother! That’s coming actually soon! Either a full review or a comparison of reliability which might make most viewers skin crawl! Lol
    2
  10665. 😂
    2
  10666. They’re good cars in my opinion. Take care of them and they’ll take care of you
    2
  10667. Thank you Thomas!
    2
  10668. Hi! I work at a Toyota dealership. Email for more details
    2
  10669. Hi! I would give it a few minutes to warm up especially in cold weather
    2
  10670. You got it brother!
    2
  10671. Don’t know about selling the Benz!! Maybe when the warranty runs out!
    2
  10672. Hi! A video on this subject is coming up soon as we enter spring and the problems with bad smelling ac come back
    2
  10673. Manufacturers specify that oil consumption to a certain point is normal. However timely oil changes could prevent engines from burning oil even within the normal limits.
    2
  10674. Yes that shouldn’t be an issue
    2
  10675. Hi! I don’t have honda specific information to share but this applies broadly to a lot of makes as well.
    2
  10676. Yes that’s normal. The number on the pleats of the filter usually don’t match
    2
  10677. Hi! I think the trd filter is good but the regular one does a fine job as well that I just don’t see the extra cost justified honestly
    2
  10678. Hi! Try to replace the pcv valve and run an oil cleaner
    2
  10679. Hi! Likely at this point there’s cylinder wall damage. With the baro scope look in the cylinder for wear marks. No recall on this engine
    2
  10680. Hi! Dealerships will have their own suppliers sometimes. Pcv valve could contribute to oil consumption however that’s if there’s an issue with it
    2
  10681. On your Scion xB I would use 5w20. That’s a 2AZ-FE which by the way if it consumes oil could still be covered for repairs
    2
  10682. Which model do you have?
    2
  10683. In my personal car? I used Toyota bottled 0W20 full synthetic.
    2
  10684. Hey brother! I think 3000-5000 miles is a good window to change the oil. Earlier than that might be overkill. Later than that is not recommended. Let’s put it this way. You can safely go to 5k without worrying about issues in the future
    2
  10685. Hi! I would correct the level. It’s not going to explode. In the morning when the car is cold. Start it for a minute then check the oil level. If it’s half way you’re good. If it’s full or more lower the level until it’s half way and recheck it again when it’s completely warmed up it should be full then
    2
  10686. Hi! Same interval when using synthetic oil and doing short trips
    2
  10687. They’re actually pretty good if maintained well. I’m working on putting together a video for common issues on those.
    2
  10688. Hi. Try oil cleaners but honestly they might not work if the rate of consumption is very high and taking the engine apart to replace pistons and rings might be the only permanent solution
    2
  10689. You can use either 0w20 or 5w20 for that engine on your RAV4
    2
  10690. Hi! When you modify engines they factory recommendation could become irrelevant.
    2
  10691. Hi! That same theory is actually correct and still applies. However modern engines warm up very quickly when compared to older cars. In cold weather I would advise you give the engine at least 2-3 minutes before taking off.
    2
  10692. Hi! That’s actually one with possibly old style piston rings. And the oil burning in that is less common but still possible. Try an oil cleaner and see if it improves things.
    2
  10693. Hi! Start fresh with a new oil change. After 1000 miles check the level and see if it used any. It could be oil consumption
    2
  10694. Hi! Interesting. Could you share the car model, year and what weight oil were you using? Also switching to another brand stopped it?
    2
  10695. You drive commercially and I would replace the engine oil as often as possible. I know it might be every week but that’s what you have to do to keep things going.
    2
  10696. They have different pistons and different rings. The 2015+ FXE have a similar design to the non hybrid version if memory serves right
    2
  10697. Very true. Honestly my heart and respect goes to the engineers that have to deal with emission regulations. They are literally grasping at straws and pulling their hair out to squeeze every last detail to meet the emission standards while still making reliable and cost effective cars.
    2
  10698. Hi! Use an engine oil cleaner but more than likely you will need updated pistons and rings
    2
  10699. I’d say yay with good maintenance.
    2
  10700. The 0w20 is good in my opinion. I’ve used it in my personal cars long term and didn’t have any issues as long as the maintenance schedule is followed.
    2
  10701. The break in oil change is debated. The manufacturer doesn’t recommend it anymore but there are some break in recommendations in the owners manual for the first 500-1000 miles. You’ll be ok just get your oil change done and if you fall under the special operating conditions go for 5k/6 month oil changes
    2
  10702. Thank you for watching my videos. The valve stem seal issues are there but no where near as common on the newer ones as they are with the very old engines.
    2
  10703. Hi! Frequent oil changes help significantly in the later life of the engine especially with oil consumption.
    2
  10704. On the Venza I’ve seen it as low as 50k miles. But typically as they get close to or over 100k miles
    2
  10705. It’s not a leak. This is the issue of the oil burning that’s trending right now with the 2.7L 1AR engine and the 2.5L 2AR engine.
    2
  10706. The oil flickers if you make turns or as you’re coming to a stop. Likely not an issue with the oil pressure sensor but rather loss of oil pressure momentarily
    2
  10707. That’s likely the issue with oil burning that I spoke about. Unfortunately your engine has a high tendency of destroying the cylinder walls. Before anything is done I would have the cylinder wall inspected with a camera and go from there. If they’re clean then run an oil cleaning solution and see if it improves things.
    2
  10708. Royal purple is good. If you’ve had no issues with all those miles I’d keep doing what you’re doing.
    2
  10709. Hi! I would replace it
    2
  10710. They changed the design
    2
  10711. Hi! I would borescope the cylinder first if it’s good then oil cleaners
    2
  10712. Not really. It’s more oil contamination and the gunk that oil leaves behind
    2
  10713. The 2ZR can burn oil but not too prone to it like the AR engines. With your good maintenance schedule you’ll likely never know about oil consumption.
    2
  10714. Hi! The products I use are not available for retail sales but I hear good things about liqui moly engine oil system cleaners.
    2
  10715. Hi! You can do it every other oil changes. You can use oil additives don’t know how well they work though
    2
  10716. In all Toyota models it will flash or come on shortly at 4500 miles then come on solid at 5000 miles
    2
  10717. No they’re not.
    2
  10718. Thank you for your comment. 6 months is the recommended interval when you operate the car in special operating conditions which if you look into it’s a lot of people.
    2
  10719. Hi! I would change it every 6 months
    2
  10720. The corolla cross has a successful launch so far with no issues reported at all.
    2
  10721. Hi! With good maintenance your corolla is not prone to oil consumption. The engine in your corolla is the 2ZR engine
    2
  10722. Sorry I meant depends on which oil the dealership uses. Some of them use toyota oil which is good. Some use other brand oils. I would ask the dealership what brand oil they use and research it
    2
  10723. Hi! Depends on the dealership
    2
  10724. Toyota oil is bought from the dealership. Basically oil branded as Toyota made by Mobil one with Toyota specific additives
    2
  10725. Hi! The pre paid maintenance only covers normal driving conditions. I highly advice you to follow the severe schedule and pay for the maintenance yourself if you plan to keep it long
    2
  10726. Hi david! Thank you for watching! So the 2002-2006 2AZ-FE was different internally than the 2007-2009 2AZ. The 2007-2009 in the Camry is the only affected one
    2
  10727. Hi! Yes they do
    2
  10728. They do but timely oil changes help more.
    2
  10729. They are the same if not worse from experience. I would stick to 5k oil changes or 6 months especially with hybrids.
    2
  10730. Hi! The tensioner will last the life of the car without any adjustments or service needed. If the rest of the maintenance like timely oil changes are done nothing really should go wrong with the tensioner
    2
  10731. Hi! You still need to change it and the filter as well
    2
  10732. Thank you for watching my video! I likely received your email but just to let you know it will take me some time to get back to you as I get a lot of emails and try to attend to them in order.
    2
  10733. I would use 5w30 on that engine and use an oil cleaner and see if it helps.
    2
  10734. Hi! You’re not driving short distances and likely put that 10k in a very short time compared to most so it should be ok.
    2
  10735. Hi! I would find a dedicated engine oil cleaner and use it as directed. Usually most of them will ask you to add it before an oil change and run the engine at idle for up to 30 minutes then change the oil and filter.
    2
  10736. Hi! My recommendations apply to hybrids and synthetic oil. The Prius engine is one offender of oil consumption. Although there are updated parts but folks who changed their oil every 5k or 6 months actually didn’t have issues.
    2
  10737. Good to hear that things improved. I would honestly stay with 5w30 and you shouldn’t have issues. Just change the oil between 3000-5000 miles and that should keep the engine protected.
    2
  10738. Thank you for watching! I would pay out of pocket for the 5k oil change and not have to worry about anything
    2
  10739. Hi! I am in the Chicago area.
    2
  10740. Hi! pennzoil is a good brand if you had good experience with it I would continue using it
    2
  10741. You can but I’d keep it at 6 months
    2
  10742. As I stated in the video the products I use are not sold to the public. I heard good things about liquimoly products but never tried it myself.
    2
  10743. Hi! Consumption starts with mileage but more with age. The principal symptom really is the loss of oil itself. No way to tell before buying the car. But at that age it’s likely reversible if it’s there.
    2
  10744. Hi Larry, Thank you for watching my videos! 1- I agree with them and would add that the same goes for fuel brands. Consistency is key with cars. If a certain product or method have worked for 146k miles I’d say keep at it as it’s definitely doing good to the car. 2- dealerships will use bulk oil not from Toyota and sometimes from a specific brand or a brand no one has heard of. Usually they have been using that brand for a long time and had no issues with their many customer cars. However i never use the bulk oil and I always feel better if the oil was bottled even from a dealership. 3- counterfeit parts are a concern and it’s in my plans to make a video warning people about them once I get enough parts to make a decent video. I would buy parts from a dealership or a wholesale dealership online. Amazon and eBay are unfortunately becoming filled with counterfeit original parts 4- the engine not burning oil is directly related to your good maintenance habits. I hear you on the interior plastics on those year camrys they did get better in the next generation and a lot better on the current generation. 5- honestly with the fuel pump I wouldn’t bother. It’s not even a filter at the bottom of the fuel pump it’s just a strainer. You might end up creating problems as the fuel pump housing is plastic and disassembly might leave you with broken parts and now you need a whole new assembly. And I would definitely not waste time or money replacing the whole assembly just for the strainer.
    2
  10745. Hi! If the manual states annual services then just an oil and filter every 6 months
    2
  10746. Hi! I actually do originally come from a hot climate country very close to your country and am familiar with oils used there. Likely 10w30 is the highest I would go perhaps 10w40 but 20w50 is a bit too heavy for most Toyota engines.
    2
  10747. BG makes good products. At that price it’s worth the investment. But I would add it every other oil change
    2
  10748. I haven’t tried it myself but overall those who tried it say good things about it
    2
  10749. Hi! I honestly have no experience with this product. Typically good maintenance is sufficient to keep things good without needing additives
    2
  10750. Hi! With the engine in your Prius there’s no issue using 5w30 a slight drop in fuel economy is about the only effect
    2
  10751. It’s hard to tell without codes. Any chance you can get them?
    2
  10752. Hi! Unfortunately the timing cover leaks are common. But that price is way high in my opinion. Clean the leak and track it to see how bad it is. As it might take a long time for it to show again and shop around for prices that price is too high
    2
  10753. If they have an oil burning issue they would burn more under load and higher rpms. I would research oil cleaning products and see if it improves your oil consumption. By the way the oil consumption you have is not bad and has a much higher chance of getting better with cleaning.
    2
  10754. The 2AR/1AR engines are trending now for oil consumption. The GR series engines are doing good so far.
    2
  10755. Hi! You can stay with valvoline it’s good oil.
    2
  10756. You can try an engine oil cleaning service and see if it improves
    2
  10757. Not really. Oils break in the same way and they typically break more with cars that have short trips. It’s up to you.
    2
  10758. I would still change it every 6 months. But it’s up to you.
    2
  10759. You can ass oil if the engine oil level is low. But still change the filter and oil at the correct interval
    2
  10760. Hi! Give it a few minutes before you take off yes
    2
  10761. Hi! All manufacturers, drivetrain engineers and engine builders recommend you take it easy on the engine with load and rpms during the break in period.
    2
  10762. Likely not but keep up the maintenance on it from this point on and everything will be good
    2
  10763. Hi! This is a reliable engine if it was taken care of. Especially with oil changes
    2
  10764. Honestly? Really dislike it.
    2
  10765. Hi! That’s a hard one to answer. All of them will burn oil if severely neglected however the V6 and V8 models seem to be less prone to burning oil when slightly neglected
    2
  10766. I replied to your comment on another video I think. Take it to another dealership or contact Toyota directly.
    2
  10767. Hi! Do you mean warming up the engine?
    2
  10768. That’s a common theme people go by. But cars burn oil for a reason that’s not the oil thickness.
    2
  10769. Hi! Just saw this comment. The engine oil cleaner should help a bit. Your consumption level is not high which is good. Make sure you are checking the oil level when the engine is hot. Shut it off wait one minute then check it to get an accurate reading
    2
  10770. Hi! I am not aware of a program from toyota to fix the 2012 oil burning. If the cylinder walls are good new pistons and rings will take care of it. But before that run an oil system cleaning and switch to 5w30 for an oil change and see how it progresses. You’ll have some loss of gas mileage but for testing sake try it
    2
  10771. Hi! In your case your driving likely doesn’t fall under severe believe it or not.
    2
  10772. Hi! Neglecting oil changes will start to clog the rings then eventually damage the cylinder wall. Oil starts coming into the combustion chamber and burn away with the normal combustion that makes the engine run
    2
  10773. Hi bob! Not all 2AZ engines are bad. Actually other than the issue with oil consumption which was addressed in the affected models by Toyota under a customer support program, this engine is actually bullet proof! So if it was fixed for the oil consumption it’s a great engine!
    2
  10774. It’s a very good oil brand. Expensive, but very good.
    2
  10775. Hi I would also have your mechanic run an oil cleaner through it before changing the oil. This could actually help reduce the issue
    2
  10776. As far as I know 2006 RAV4 and 2007 Camry 4 cylinders were the first engines with low tension rings
    2
  10777. Hi! Thank you for watching my channel! So on the 2AZ unfortunately the changes of success with oil cleaners is low, because this engine had an actual issue and updated parts are needed to fix it, namely newly designed pistons and rings.
    2
  10778. I meant 4.5 quarts. Each US quart is 0.946 liters
    2
  10779. Hi! That’s in miles. So for your case the brake in is 1500kms and then every 8000 kilometers
    2
  10780. Hi! I would look at the special operating conditions. If none of them apply to your driving then you should be good. Personally however I’d say it’s not worth it and just change it every 5k or 6 months.up to you.
    2
  10781. Hi! I would stick with the one recommended for your car
    2
  10782. Regular 5w20 or 5w30
    2
  10783. I would especially follow the 6 month limit now with the pandemic. Most people are not driving their cars as much and driving short distances when they do drive them.
    2
  10784. Hard to tell accurately but around 80-85 hours equals around 5000 miles in normal driving conditions without extended idling
    2
  10785. It gets very dark and clumpy if you would. Thick or thin will depend on its temperature when it’s drained
    2
  10786. I hear good things about liqui moly oil cleaners. Ordered some and will try them.
    2
  10787. Hi! You are likely good because the special operating conditions don’t apply to your driving
    2
  10788. Hi! Other than the oil change nothing else.
    2
  10789. Hi! The vibe in that year will have a Toyota engine which doesn’t have a problem that it’s born with but if good maintenance is not followed they do develop oil burning.
    2
  10790. Hi! The transmission and differential oil is shared. So when you replace the transmission fluid you will also change the differential fluid. It uses Toyota ATF WS and it is a sealed transmission system. I have a video on how to check the level and it will likely take around 2-3 quarts I would get 4 to be on the safe side
    2
  10791. Hi! So far the NX has been doing good with no big issues.
    2
  10792. That’s not a good start of a new cars life. A down side is a high potential for oil consumption
    2
  10793. Hi! I would put the correct capacity and use the extra for the next oil change.
    2
  10794. Hi! Damage is likely not done already this is still a relatively new car. Carry on with what you started doing and you’ll have no issues
    2
  10795. The products I use and am familiar with that work are not sold retail. But I hear good things about oil cleaning products from liqui moly
    2
  10796. Hi! I would inquire at your local dealership as your car could be covered by Toyota to replace the pistons and rings. If not try an oil cleaner and see if it helps.
    2
  10797. Hi! On your corolla full synthetic oil is recommended. I would keep your oil changes every 5k miles (which is 8k kilometers) or 6 months and you won’t have any issues.
    2
  10798. I wouldn’t know about honda’s but 2011-2016 are in your budget. I have a video on their common issues so you know what to look for and buy a good one. Find that video here https://youtu.be/BSI_iA6I4_4
    2
  10799. So the complementary service is paid by Toyota for normal operating conditions and they’d only do it at 10k intervals.
    2
  10800. I would stick with the oil that you’ve best using. If it’s working good and it’s not burning oil then I’d keep at it
    2
  10801. I would have it scoped first. It’s not hard to do and you’d know the condition of the cylinder walls.
    2
  10802. Hi! This engine can take a beating but if it’s really neglected it can develop oil consumption.
    2
  10803. Yes on hybrids as well.
    2
  10804. Hi! I would stick with the 5000 mile oil changes or 6 months and the timing chain is there for the life of the engine and there’s ok service interval for it.
    2
  10805. That’s incorrect. Using Mobil 1 is good. Toyota branded oil is made by Mobil 1. And actually most dealerships will use bulk oil and not Toyota oil.
    2
  10806. I’m sorry to hear that
    2
  10807. Hi! Different markets will have different recommendations. The base oil for that engine is 0w20 when you get it look at the owners manual and select the recommended oil based on your areas temperature
    2
  10808. Hi! Thank you for watching! I don’t work at the factory that makes the Toyota oil however from what I hear is that Toyota oil is made by Mobil one using a special additive package that Toyota requests. Don’t know much else about it
    2
  10809. Engine oil cleaners from liquimoly work good as well.
    2
  10810. Engine hours is actually what it comes down to in the end. While it’s hard to give you an exact figure but around 80-100 hours is where the guesstimate is.
    2
  10811. Yes
    2
  10812. Hi! They are the same however the corolla came with the 2.4 l 2AZ-fe engine as well which had a manufacturing problem. The 2zr doesn’t have a problem but if you don’t change the oil on time, over time it can start burning oil.
    2
  10813. Hi! Yes it does
    2
  10814. Hi! I would still change the engine oil. At this very low mileage likely the car was not driven for long trips. In short trips the engine doesn’t warm up enough and that repeated cold engine running causes fuel to run into the oil(which is a normal event in gasoline engines) and that presence of fuel in the oil breaks it down over time. That’s why regardless of how many miles you put. Replacing it per the manufacturers recommended time limit is highly recommended.
    2
  10815. Hi! The dealership shouldn’t give you an issue if you’re paying for an oil change. They might tell you but in the end they do what you’re asking. The dynamic force engine has a spin on filter covered by a small cover with 4 10mm bolts
    2
  10816. they don’t shut off for an extensive amount of time. Usually they are good. And they’re not in immediate demand like a conventional gasoline car
    2
  10817. Thank you for watching my videos! I always will replay if you have a question or need help.
    2
  10818. Thank you for watching my video. 5k miles is 8k kilometers so you’re right around there.
    2
  10819. 😂 let me know if you find any on sale
    2
  10820. Hi! Synthetic oil is not required for your engine. There are some benefits to it but if you have no issues and you are changing it on time you should have no issues staying with conventional oil.
    2
  10821. Hi! Unfortunately there’s no real way of knowing other than inspecting the oil and looking at the service history
    2
  10822. Hi! I would try to run an oil cleaner through it and see if it improves otherwise as long as you keep it topped off you’re good. And continue to follow good oil maintenance.
    2
  10823. They’re not really bad engines. Some folks perhaps got that impression. Some engines had issues but others burn oil from neglect and lack of understanding of when a timely oil change is due. The reason they became more sensitive is due to changes made to accommodate stricter emission standards
    2
  10824. Hi! On a 2016 4runner I wouldn’t be too concerned and especially with that kind of mileage. I would consider refreshing the fluids. Change the oil and everything should be good.
    2
  10825. They can work but some models already have an oil separator built in which is essentially a catch can
    2
  10826. There’s no campaign on the 2AR but they’re burning oil as well from bad oil maintenance habits
    2
  10827. Hi! Personally I would go 5k regardless but it’s up to you
    2
  10828. You’d want a specific oil cleaner product the one that you pour In with oil and let it run for 20-30 minutes then replace the oil and filter.
    2
  10829. I would try the oil cleaning and I would use 5w20 as that’s what that engine calls for. Try the oil cleaning.
    2
  10830. Shawn oil consumption on some engines is getting so bad people are adding 2-3 quarts every 1000 miles which is a lot!
    2
  10831. Thank you for your comment. Now those 9 Toyota’s that you’ve owned, did you maintain them well? Or neglected them and they magically made it to 200k miles?
    2
  10832. Hi! I personally would change it every 6 months
    2
  10833. Hi! If you’re low on oil you need to add and keep it topped off.
    2
  10834. Yeah that’s good! I’m glad you got it fixed! Other than this, the 2007 Camry is actually a very good car
    2
  10835. The Italian tune up would clear up any carbon build up if it’s light.
    2
  10836. I don’t know of additives. But prevention is best here. Regular oil changes is really the best prevention. A cleaning solution that is added then drained works best.
    2
  10837. Hi! Short trips under 5 miles in cold weather is a more in depth definition. Gasoline engines when cold they tend to seep more gasoline into the oil. This is a natural thing that can’t be avoided. When you repeat this pattern eventually you will have enough fuel in your oil to break it down which is why it’s considered a severe or special operating conditions.
    2
  10838. As jack mentioned if your driving conditions are normal and don’t fall in special operating conditions then you’re good.
    2
  10839. Hi! No oil consumption issues with the new dynamic force at this time.
    2
  10840. Very well said Ahmad! Any oil cleaning product with high detergent could help loosen sticking rings and actually decrease oil consumption and in some cases stop it completely. There’s always a recourse on this as long as the cylinder wall is not damaged.
    2
  10841. Hi! That generation corolla was notorious for oil burning. A 2000 Camry in good shape is a very good replacement
    2
  10842. I would replace it every 6 months
    2
  10843. If you keep adding oil is should be ok for a while. Eventually it could start misfiring which is when it’s getting close to calling it quits. I would use conventional in this case
    2
  10844. Hi! That is ok to keep adding oil. At some point the catalytic converter might fail
    2
  10845. Hi! Toyota is completely different than Ford honestly. In my opinion I would stick with the recommended oil viscosity and if you want to help things do more frequent oil changes at 5k or 6 months
    2
  10846. Hey brother. You are correct.
    2
  10847. The engines that are most affected are the 2azfe 2.4L 2AR and 1ar engines and the 2zr-fxe in some 3rd generation Prius so far
    2
  10848. It’s too early to tell for the new engine but following the manufacturers recommendations including being aware of what the special operating conditions are that would require 5k oil changes is a good idea.
    2
  10849. I would still do an oil change.
    2
  10850. Very true. There’s shouldn’t be a need to explain yourself to the dealership. You are the owner and they are a place of business. If you want an oil change every 1k miles they should have no issue doing it. They might advise but you know your driving conditions not them. And in the end it’s your car and an informed car owner will take care of their car much better than any dealerships recommendations.
    2
  10851. I honestly think doing an oil change on time every 5000k or 6 months should keep things clean and not needing a harsh cleaner to do the job. But as far as cleaners liquimoly makes a good one
    2
  10852. Hi! Updated pistons and rings
    2
  10853. Thank you for watching my video! The quote for the 2AZ engine rebuild at a dealership is roughly anywhere from $3000-$5000 depends on what needs replacing.
    2
  10854. Hi! If the engine has been fixed it doesn’t burn oil. The blue smoke on cold start up is valve guide seals which is a semi big job to do but likely won’t cause measurable oil consumption. If the price is right I’d consider it
    2
  10855. Hi! I think that’s a good one to buy. The 4 cylinder typically is underpowered for the size of the highlander but with the help of the hybrid system it’s good and it gets better gas mileage than the previous hybrid with the v6
    2
  10856. If they are just replacing the engine there’s no need to drain the transmission.
    2
  10857. At this mileage I would leave it alone. You could do more harm than good
    2
  10858. It can
    2
  10859. Hi! Between me and you? The engineers didn’t write the part of the long intervals. But they did recommend the 0w16 and required it for all temps. You can use 0w20 and be ok but this was more to people who like to use the 20w50 that they used in their “pervious” car. Varying a bit from it can be ok but going way too high because of hot weather is not recommended.
    2
  10860. Hi! Honestly the information on my side on this engine is very limited as far as switching to different oil weight. Keep an eye on the oil level and if you notice it’s dropping bring it to the dealerships attention
    2
  10861. Thank you for watching my video Michael! In kilometers the magic number is 8000 kilometers which is 5000 miles so you’re pretty close
    2
  10862. That’s why your cars don’t burn oil. Switch that oil change to 10-15k intervals and things will go south. Thank you for taking care of your cars!
    2
  10863. Hi. I don’t remove comments from videos. YouTube and other commenters could’ve reported it. Your comment is your opinion and I respect your opinion even if it’s negative to me. Thank you and have a nice day
    2
  10864. If your driving short trips in cold temperatures I would replace the oil every 5k or 6 months
    2
  10865. The issues with the 2AZ were not related to maintenance. They were indeed a problem with the piston design. Once switched over the new design they hold pretty good. But if bad maintenance starts on the update design it’s only a matter of time just like the others.
    2
  10866. I figured as the only Toyota with that high priced oil change is the Supra which is essentially a bmw. Audis are..... interesting when it comes to oil. Depending on which model and engine you have, I’ve seen so many issues with oil with audis and premature engine issues including but not limited to oil burning, sludge and clogged lines because of contaminated oil. I am in no way shape or form a product expert on Audi but have enough experience to know that they’ve always had issues with oil contamination. I also have a toy car that also cost me just north of $100 for the oil and filter and I change it actually every 6 months. Last oil change had around 600 miles on it but still worth it in my opinion.
    2
  10867. Hi! When gasoline engines are cold they tend to seep some gasoline into the oil and that’s normal and not a problem. Over time that gasoline mixed with the oil starts breaking down the oil and the more it sits without moving the worse it gets. That’s why changing it earlier is a good idea. I can take from your description of the car that it is not a Toyota?
    2
  10868. Likely the previous owner didn’t do as good of an oil change schedule. An oil system cleaner will help a lot in this case and of course continuing the 4.5k oil changes
    2
  10869. Hi! I would still drain it and replace the filter. Condensation is an issue also mixing with what’s left of the old oil in the engine and at that long time you’d want fresh oil in there after all this time in storage. And actually you’d need to consider fogging up the cylinders as well to prevent damage to the cylinder walls
    2
  10870. Hi! Every 5k miles or 6 months
    2
  10871. Hi! Unfortunately the program from Toyota expired for your car. If you don’t have problems just keep the good oil change schedule.
    2
  10872. Hi! I am originally from Iraq
    2
  10873. They’re usually not installed when the car was prepped at the dealership
    2
  10874. Hi! Usually when power steering hoses leak the hose is brittle and swollen that’s why they leak. If you want permanent repairs replace the hose and clamps. On the fluid use power steering fluid. It has better additives
    2
  10875. Hi! Honestly if it doesn’t have rust and you’re diy it might be worth fixing
    2
  10876. Hi! It’s a bluepoint pen light by snap on
    2
  10877. Chain engines are much louder than timing belt engines. But timing chain engines don’t have an expensive maintenance like replacing the timing belt
    2
  10878. Hi! Black usually hides well but shows imperfections easy.
    2
  10879. Hi! They don’t make an AWD Camry hybrid only on the non hybrid. And depends on your driving. If you need Awd then go for it it’s reliable.

  10889. Hi! Unfortunately the 5th gen RAV4 doesn’t have an easy and direct bolt on solution to do this.
    2
  10890. Hi! On the oil change it’s a break in oil change. I just don’t like to keep that new engine debris all the way to 5k or 10k so I change it at 1000 miles. On the price let’s say I paid MSRP 😉. Fill ups vary with gas prices but I’ve gotten around 375 per tank I fill up as it gets around 1/4-1/3 tank though
    2
  10891. Hi! Take it back and ask them to center it. Don’t wait long to do that as you have a small window to get it corrected under warranty
    2
  10892. Hi! Unfortunately no
    2
  10893. Weather tech are the best! Not only made in the US, but made 20 minutes from my house! The oil filter is different than the 2AR. That one uses the A1 which is a canister filter

  10903. Hi! All Toyota filters come with grease on the gasket except the G1 and G2
    2
  10904. Hi! It doesn’t make the hole larger. It just cleans the threads. You can buy the kit it’s called a tap and die set
    2
  10905. Hi! Toyota original filters come with grease pre applied to the filter gasket
    2
  10906. My other car is not used in snow just the Camry which is my daily driver. Wash it regularly and you should be good.
    2
  10907. My 2012 Camry has been through more snow storms than I can remember with all season tires never had issues.
    2
  10908. Hi! I didn’t add oil to the gasket. Toyota original filters come with oil already on the gasket

  10912. Hi! It’s doing well! I did a separate review for it and it doesn’t work for android. Here’s the review https://youtu.be/etngS2zzrNs
    2
  10913. Hi! I would change the oil around 1k miles then again at 5k miles then every 5k after that
    2
  10914. Hi! Thank you! On those you’ll need a scan tool
    2
  10915. Hi! Yes I do here’s the link https://youtu.be/PL1h0IKtMjQ
    2
  10916. Unfortunately they won’t work with the highlander
    2
  10917. Hi! I would drive it for a bit before putting the lowering springs on
    2
  10918. They follow the maintenance book. But that automatically goes to 5k if you drive repeated short trips under 5 miles
    2
  10919. Parts will be the problem for the century. Also getting someone to work on it. I would love to service one.
    2
  10920. Hi! Yes it’s smoother and a bit more floaty than the xse. Depends on your taste
    2
  10921. Thank you! I bought this car for a specific purpose which is for the long commute to work and back. We do have an SUV for the family and I am a kind of person that buys a car for a specific purpose that I will actually use it for.
    2
  10922. Quick jack
    2
  10923. Interesting this was a thing with the previous generation but not the new one. Bring it to your dealerships attention
    2
  10924. Hi! I am worried about them but my drive seems almost pot hole free
    2
  10925. Hi! No wiring change they are plug and play
    2
  10926. Hi! Unfortunately they’re not available for the RAV4
    2
  10927. Hi Jason! Thank you! On the paddles I’ve never used them on my Camry. Just use the brake pedal honestly. B mode automatically engages in the newer hybrids when you go downhill which makes them a total gimmick
    2
  10928. Hi! The bulbs are from vleds.com and they’re 194 type. And the shocks from the dealership or online search the part numbers I listed
    2
  10929. Hi! I recommend at 1000 miles for break in then again at 5000 then every 5000 after that
    2
  10930. Hi! Fluid film is good but don’t go over board and make sure you don’t spray it on the exhaust

  10934. I hear you on the turning radius. It’s much improved in this generation
    2
  10935. The 500h is an interesting transmission and a much lower volume model. No real data on how reliable they are other than I haven’t seen an issue with any of them yet
    2
  10936. Hi! Everything is going well! Just trying to keep up with everything. Update video coming up soon
    2
  10937. Hi! Not as much as regular Awd models. You do however want the same type of tire on each axle
    2
  10938. Hi! Toyota official wiring diagrams can be found at techinfo.Toyota.com
    2
  10939. Hi! I would change it every 6 months. Next week I’ll have a video on your specific rav4 talking about that exact subject
    2
  10940. I haven’t seen it on the Avalon but it’s similar to the Camry, it is trial and error. Some models you have to change the knuckle on some it’s a bolt on bracket and caliper
    2
  10941. Thanks and congratulations!

  10942. I hear you. I try my best with names!
    2
  10943. Congratulations Stephane! I hope I pronounced your name right! Pardon me if I didn’t! Thank you!
    2
  10944. Thank you! Will do!
    2
  10945. Thank you!!!
    2
  10946. Thank you so much! I would consider doing general content but buying guides would be hard to be accurate on as I don’t work on Lexus models everyday although they are similar but specific things would be hard. If you’re looking to buy one or own one email me and I’ll try to dig around and get you any info you need.
    2
  10947. You got it! I’ll add it to the list! Thank you for your suggestion
    2
  10948. Hi! The battery will charge and when the computer doesn’t want to charge the battery anymore it will just use hydraulic brakes and not use regen anymore.
    2
  10949. In hybrids it is actually a small pump. Manual transmissions relay on the gears splashing the fluid. In hybrids a sling type actual pump is used.
    2
  10950. Hi! Your highlander hybrid does have an eCVT. With a 3rd motor MGR in the back
    2
  10951. Unfortunately on Prius models with the small shifter you can’t get them out of park manually.
    2
  10952. Thank you for watching my hybrid series Michael!
    2
  10953. Very true Craig! Only downside of those eco tires is handling. I guess you have a choice or a preference of mpg vs ride quality if you would
    2
  10954. I wouldn’t use any additives in your hybrid transmission just ATF WS
    2
  10955. Hi! It’s very heavy! The motors are extremely heavy.
    2
  10956. Hi! Thank you for watching my video! So the RAV4 prime has the same motor setup with some differences in the whole system. The battery is cooled differently and is in a different location. There’s a filter but it’s for a different component not the battery cooling
    2
  10957. Thank you Maxime! Hybrids are very interesting cars in the way they function
    2
  10958. Thank you. I still recommend you change it every 5000 miles or 6 months especially on hybrids.
    2
  10959. Hi! I would change the engine oil between 8000-10000 kms and the transmission fluid that’s a good interval
    2
  10960. Hi! The fluid is very diy and actually simple. I have a video for it. And for priority of things. Repairs before maintenance. Water pump from that list is first
    2
  10961. There’s no fluid level sensor on hybrid transmissions. If the fluid overflows from the fill plug it’s full.
    2
  10962. Yep! I just don’t want the thought of it being a CVT to confuse folks into putting say CVT fluid from a 14+ corolla in their hybrid transmission
    2
  10963. You need to lift the engine up a bit to replace the spark plugs. And so far no head gasket issues with the old one
    2
  10964. I understand your concern. I would however consider getting it done. Your chances with getting the springs replaced are better than staying with the old springs that could break
    2
  10965. There’s been one with the GR Yaris engine but it’s a limited edition and not a road car
    2
  10966. Most if not all boxer engines are like that. One engine that’s not a boxer that’s also like that is GM’s North Star V8
    2
  10967. Yes premium fuel only.
    2
  10968. Happy new year!
    2
  10969. It does have power folding mirrors but you have to push the button every-time not auto fold when you lock it. Not a big deal but when you have a small garage it’s really a nice feature
    2
  10970. We actually considered a sequoia but by the time you option one to the same level you’re in the same price range. We liked the GX more
    2
  10971. I haven’t seen one yet honestly. Once we get one and go through it, I’ll share it in a video
    2
  10972. Hi! The VvTI in that engine is oil controlled and it does have hydraulic lifters. No plans for now to ceramic coat it
    2
  10973. We did in this video. Towards the end of the video
    2
  10974. 2021 shouldn’t have issues. 2019s and some 2020s had water intrusion issues which most of the time is covered by insurance
    2
  10975. There’s something about people who bad mouth other brands. They’ve never owned one. I love Mercedes for the way they drive and feel. But they’re not long term cars. You buy them for a few years enjoy them and then let them go otherwise the joy of driving them quickly gets overrun by their repair costs. As someone who’ve owned every German brand car but Audi I’ll tell you this. If you buy one, buy one with a good extended warranty, enjoy it and be ready to let it go as soon as signs of trouble show up. You will always loose a lot of money owning German cars but if you’re into cars you will be smiling all the time driving one. BMWs drive nicer than Mercedes but they’re horribly made. Mercedes is slightly better made but still as they age things start falling apart and the bills start racking up very quickly. Can’t comment on Audi as I’ve never owned one.
    2
  10976. There’s nothing wrong with owning a BMW or Mercedes as long as you’re in the understanding that they’re complicated and will cost a lot to keep them running. You can’t have the expectation of buying them with Toyota maintenance costs. They’re not reliable overall but they make that up in the way they drive and feel. Not everyone wants that “feel” of German cars and appreciate the reliability of some Japanese brands
    2
  10977. Not really. I like Mercedes Benz for the way they drive and I’m willing to put up with their gremlins which are constant. I am not going to recommend one if you’re not ok with high repair and maintenance costs.
    2
  10978. I bought it and took it apart to see. I didn’t trust it and still looking for better options
    2
  10979. Other than replacing the control arms with the updated ones there’s no solution. However I would advise to save your money and live with the noise as it’s not a problem that will cause issues. It’s just a noise concern not a worn part
    2
  10980. It might be possible with aftermarket systems. Honestly I don’t have experience with aftermarket installs. Let see if someone has experience with them can chime in.
    2
  10981. Good call. Theoretically it should but i personally haven’t tested it.
    2
  10982. Hi! A mirror cap will not block any sensors
    2
  10983. Not much information on differences internally.
    2
  10984. Hi! It’s not advisable to use sensors from different models, this is a safety component and it needs to be fixed right.
    2
  10985. That could be it. I would have the dealership at least make sure the sensors are there. Other than the button on the dash there’s no other place to turn them on
    2
  10986. Thank you for watching my video Shane! I actually did do that but ended up cutting it out because my new camera decided to be out of focus and ruined the shot. Learning how to film effectively is a skill I’m learning too 😀
    2
  10987. No that is not an option that can be installed at the dealership.
    2
  10988. I’ve seen a few aftermarket systems don’t know how good they work and how reliable they are
    2
  10989. It should trigger when you pass a car and it enters your blind spot. It should actually work exactly the same as your Lexus since it’s the exact same system down to the sensors. Have you brought it to the dealership attention?
    2
  10990. Might be a calibration issue. Any accidents in the back?
    2
  10991. First read codes
    2
  10992. Hi! As far as I know these batteries are not serviceable. They are a new style battery that showed up with Toyota called H6.
    2
  10993. Can bus
    2
  10994. Hi! Unfortunately with Toyota these systems cannot be added as an option at the dealership level
    2
  10995. Hi! Likely behind the rear bumpers
    2
  10996. Hi! There’s a procedure to measure a specific point and put a reflector and use techstream
    2
  10997. Hi! They are both connected and work together. Best bet is to scan them for codes. Now the mirror that you replaced was it an exact match for year and model?
    2
  10998. It’s only designed to pick up cars in your blind spot
    2
  10999. When you turn your turn signals while there’s a car in your blind spot it will beep
    2
  11000. I just hope the computers don’t get carried away with texting and forget their job 😂 Thank you for watching!
    2
  11001. Possibility of brake noise increases
    2
  11002. Either version doesn’t come with pads. There’s the factory ones which are semi metallic and more expensive. Then there’s the ceramic value ones which are cheaper. The value ones will have the letters AZ in their part number
    2
  11003. Hi! Usually they are automatically transferred unless they’re broke or rusty at which point they will recommend new ones
    2
  11004. Yes it can work for that as well
    2
  11005. They use a lot of advics lately
    2
  11006. Not always. They’ve used many manufacturers over the yeats
    2
  11007. That was a different era in the channel. I would’ve done it in one single video
    2
  11008. Avtar Nanrey thank you Avtar! Hows your FJ doing?
    2
  11009. Hello Paul regarding hybrid brakes I will follow up with another video on that. However I will say that hybrid brakes should be serviced with the car off. And bleeding is a bit complicated and should be done with a scan tool.
    2
  11010. Hi! The pin with the rubber seal you can just install the seal back on it. If the seal is swollen or worn you can get it separately from the pin from the dealership for a few bucks. That seal is there so the caliper won’t rattle. I wouldn’t worry about the location of the pin with the seal. I’ve seen them mixed without problems.
    2
  11011. Hi! No need to grease the inner shim.
    2
  11012. I was puzzled by it too. Not all dealerships are the same brother. And we all know not all techs at a dealership are the same. I worked at a dealership and have first hand witnessed some of the finest most skilled technicians and some who I wouldn’t trust with an oil change.
    2
  11013. Hi! It’s located underneath the back seat 3 vents that has 2 screws each. Video for this will come in mid to late February
    2
  11014. Ok I would check for codes even though there’s no warning lights to see.
    2
  11015. Hi. It would have to be diagnosed by a mechanic but I would start with testing the 12v battery
    2
  11016. Your local Toyota dealership can get them for you from the part numbers in this video
    2
  11017. Hi! I would look at 2012+ Prius 2010-2011 had a few issues that were better with 2012+. They’re expensive for that very reason that you mentioned.
    2
  11018. This is what I wrote : The idea of cleaning the fan itself is if the fan is actually clogged. It’s not something you should do regularly. The idea is this. If you have a filter installed it will catch the contaminants so they won’t make it to the fan. Then you wouldn’t have to worry about the fan. If you have no filter then the fan would need to be inspected with a camera before disassembly. If it’s clean install a filter and keep it clean. If it’s dirty then clean the fan once install a filter and not have to worry about it. Cleaning the fan is a lot more involved than cleaning a simple filter. So yes some of the fan cleaning itself might not be very DIY but the filter replacement itself is simple in most models.

    2
  11020. I would look inside the vent with a flash light and see if you have one.
    2
  11021. Hi! For the ct200 is a bit different I don’t have the part number at the moment but can be found at parts.lexus.com enter your vin and search for G92DH
    2
  11022. If there’s a filter and it’s clean that’s a good sign. You can use a flashlight to look through the vent without removing anything.
    2
  11023. Drive it for a bit and see if it goes away.
    2
  11024. Thank you Dominic!
    2
  11025. Hi! I would get 2015+ for best longevity.
    2
  11026. Thank you for watching my video! I think it’s a good idea to clean the fan as well. You won’t need to clean it again after installing a filter as it will catch everything from that point on
    2
  11027. Absolutely! Here’s the video https://youtu.be/U7mjpvRihVU
    2
  11028. Thank you for watching Shane. Hope you’re doing well.
    2
  11029. It’s in the video and the description. They both fit your model
    2
  11030. It’s located on the drivers side of the back seat. Some removal of the seat is needed to replace it
    2
  11031. Hi! I wouldn’t use a leaf blower as that would blow all the dust into the fan. I would instead use an inspection camera would you could buy off of Amazon cheap and send it in the vent to look at the fan. If the fan is clean there’s no need to worry install a filter for ease of cleaning in the future. If it’s dirty then it might be worth the investment to clean it once then install a filter and you’ll never have to clean it again just the filter which is easy
    2
  11032. Every month and increase the interval if it’s clean after a month
    2
  11033. Hi Richard! So for the 2012 Camry is a bit different. I’m trying to make a dedicated video to the 2012-2017 Camry hybrid but I need a car to film with in the Chicago area. The filter part number is G92DH-33020
    2
  11034. I’m working on getting a car to film with. Once I get one I’ll post a video for it.
    2
  11035. Hi! If you have a filter it should capture everything where the fan remains clean.
    2
  11036. Hi! Actually Toyota did develop a filter for it that you can but which fits perfect over the vent and works great. The part no. For it is G92DH-47020. Google the number and you’ll find it for sale.
    2
  11037. Hi! Yes the fan. Use an inspection camera to check it
    2
  11038. I am not aware of sites in Europe that sell the filters unfortunately.
    2
  11039. It should be a similar vent inside. Now I am referring to the vent behind the grille on the outside. You’d have to do some disassembly to install it
    2
  11040. You’d have to remove the seat bottom which just pulls up from the front. Then the 12mm bolt is underneath.
    2
  11041. I’m trying to get a hold of a Prius v a few friends own one and I just have to make time to go and film it. It will come soon.
    2
  11042. I agree with you and that’s why in the newer models they are moving the vent to a better location under the seat close to the floor.
    2
  11043. A Prius c video is planned and coming soon. It is very different than the 3rd generation Prius
    2
  11044. They didn’t think about it when they designed it. But they did later and the filters in the video fit your car
    2
  11045. Hi! Not all years have a filter. Which year do you have?
    2
  11046. Hi! They don’t have a serviceable one. There’s a mesh filter in the fuel tank but I wouldn’t service it
    2
  11047. Hi! I’m looking into this and don’t have a full answer yet
    2
  11048. Hi! These are good trucks just make sure it’s not rusty
    2
  11049. I’d have to double check but if memory serves right they come with an engine oil cooler
    2
  11050. Hi! Sorry that’s not an engine we have in our area and not familiar with that code.
    2
  11051. Hi! Are you using the USB port?
    2
  11052. Hi! There are a few part numbers for this you’ll need a vin number. Contact your local parts department or go to parts.Toyota.com
    2
  11053. It is slightly different for the highlander but similar concept
    2
  11054. Hi! Every 30-50k
    2
  11055. Theoretically yes but it’s not as simple as just relocating it
    2
  11056. Hi! This van didn’t have a lock sensor
    2
  11057. Hi! The camera will need to be checked and possibly recalibrated
    2
  11058. We’ll work on anything honestly. We frequently get 80s cars in rarely get anything older
    2
  11059. Hi! This is an issue reported by many owners. Installing a lift will void your warranty on suspension if there’s ever issues but not the rest of the van
    2
  11060. Hi! For overall reliability they’re similar. Just make sure the transmission is good on the 17
    2
  11061. On this one it doesn’t
    2
  11062. Hi! I’d have to check but I think the LE can get roof racks but they’re different than the ones with the rails
    2
  11063. Hi! Not a transmission cooler. An engine oil cooler
    2
  11064. Video planned for this. Coming soon
    2
  11065. I don’t believe it’s PR babble. Time will tell but unofficially Toyota did request small changes in the engine after their reliability testing. No concrete info if those changes were made or what they were. Time will tell if the Supra B58 proves more reliable over time than BMWs variants of the B58
    2
  11066. No manual transmission in the Supra. But as naveenthemachine said the ZF is not a bad transmission driving wise
    2
  11067. Hi! So far on the 2.0 things are quiet not many issues at all to report. I have to say the Supra is doing really well so far. Even the 2021 oil consumption seems to have gotten less and less
    2
  11068. The older ones are easy to work on but we also don’t see them that often
    2
  11069. So far I don’t see many issues other than what’s stated in the video
    2
  11070. It should be ok working theory wise but bmw is not know to have the most reliable cooling systems as the years add on. Well wait and see
    2
  11071. It would make sense that it should but I guess it doesn’t so I’m usually very careful with the level when adding oil to make sure I start a bit lower than full then slowly fill it to get it perfect and not overfill it
    2
  11072. Hi! The official word I received from technical training on the Supra is that the Supra cannot tell an overfilled condition.
    2
  11073. Who would’ve thought! 😂
    2
  11074. If I owned one I’d still not go over 5000 miles on oil changes or 6 months
    2
  11075. I actually volunteered for it. You can never stop learning.
    2
  11076. I would! When I get one around I will
    2
  11077. Hi! I am not aware of new updates but I’ll check
    2
  11078. Hi! Once I get my hands on one in the studio I’ll get a video out
    2
  11079. It’s unclear at this point as it’s a trending issue under investigation but it appears oil is burned or consumed.
    2
  11080. Yes once I get one to film with
    2
  11081. It all comes down to business. They make higher profits by not spending the money on R&D then the money saved they’d use to fund their research on more important models that are reliable
    2
  11082. That’s what we were told at training. I see the bars you’re referring to. Don’t plan on overfilling one to see if that works! But I’m sure someone will and we’ll find out.
    2
  11083. Yes the 4 cylinder Supra has the B48 engine which is exactly the same as the B58 6 cylinder just with 2 cylinders less... more or less the same
    2
  11084. You can get a scan tool that’s capable of programming the battery or use a battery maintainer over the winter months
    2
  11085. So far no issues with the B48
    2
  11086. Likely they will carbon up. Time will tell
    2
  11087. Hi! The Camry TRD is basically a standard Camry V6 with upgraded springs and exhaust. Also has different wheels and exterior and minor interior change
    2
  11088. No it’s a lot less. It’s a joint venture there’s way more Toyota in the 86 than in the Supra
    2
  11089. Ok now I get it. So at higher speeds the engine running will be used in the planetary gear as a reduction to basically simulate an overdrive so it can handle higher speeds.
    2
  11090. I actually don’t pander to the dealership. I say things as they are, if the dealership that let me film in their shop doesn’t like the truth then I would have a problem filming in their shop as well.
    2
  11091. Hi! Honestly I would go new personally unless you know the person who inspected it and have good service history
    2
  11092. Hi! Hard to tell without in person diagnosis but nothing common that I can remember or think of
    2
  11093. Usually an hour or an hour and a half
    2
  11094. I wanted to but was not given permission as it’s an empty sheet that anyone can copy and use
    2
  11095. Pretty soon it’ll be the background for many videos!
    2
  11096. Hi! Check all your fuses. Both under the hood and inside. Especially the STOP fuse
    2
  11097. Hi! It learns a good medium of all drivers over a long period of time
    2
  11098. Cars with non smart keys should get 2 main keys and a valet key. Cars with a smart key should get 2 smart keys
    2
  11099. The RAV4 prime is a very good model. Just make sure you understand the maintenance and follow it
    2
  11100. Not always. Certain engines I’d recommend it as an additional item and leave it to the owner if they want to do that as that costs more labor than the general pre purchase inspection
    2
  11101. Hi! A pre purchase inspection can be similar to the certified inspection yes
    2
  11102. Blown head gasket on that one! Very high mileage though
    2
  11103. Hi! Typically an hour to an hour and a half is average
    2
  11104. Hi! Dealership loaners always end up being certified used unless they’ve been in accidents. And aftermarket parts that are properly installed could be accepted
    2
  11105. Hi! Hard to tell honestly. Sometimes you can tell from the spark plugs if they’re fouled slightly.
    2
  11106. Hi! Rust on the body automatically disqualifies the car of course. Slight surface rust in a car sold in the rust belt is acceptable. Burn marks are either fixed or the seat cover is replaced
    2
  11107. Coming tomorrow
    2
  11108. I wanted to do but was advised by the dealership not to share the copy they have because it can’t be empty for obvious reasons and I’ll respect that.
    2
  11109. Hi! 7 years from the date purchase or 100k total mileage on the car whichever comes first
    2
  11110. Hi! It’s a bit more complicated to add ventilated Seats to the Camry. You might be better off buying complete seats with ventilation and custom wiring them
    2
  11111. Thank you Alex! Softex is somewhat similar to leather just less stretching and dealing with wrinkles as it’s synthetic and doesn’t have the same characteristics of leather
    2
  11112. The cost of the seat is usually higher and you don’t know if the used seat has similar issues.
    2
  11113. Hi! It took around 1-1.5 hours in real time.
    2
  11114. Hi! Softex is generally easier to work with than leather in my experience
    2
  11115. Hi! Honestly I wouldn’t know this right off the top of my head. This will need some trial and error to see if it fits
    2
  11116. Hi the dealership can try to adjust the calibration up to 4 mph
    2
  11117. Usually 2-3 hours of labor out of pocket. Possibly less at an upholstery shop
    2
  11118. Hi! Usually customer pay around 2-3 hours and cushions cost 200-300 bucks
    2
  11119. You can with the key off
    2
  11120. Hi! Yes possibly a bit more involved
    2
  11121. Hi! Likely the track is broken if you hear the motor. I’d take a look at the motor and it’s connection point.
    2
  11122. Could be a loose panel or something with the cushion that’s loose. Kinda hard to diagnose as you’ll have to drive and have another person look under the seat
    2
  11123. Hi! Honestly that would need some research on parts. You’ll want to see if the floor panels are the same part numbers to know if there’s a diffetence
    2
  11124. Hi! Names Ahmed! No issues with the air bag just don’t turn the key on when the seat is disconnected. To be on the safe side if you don’t have experience with air bags disconnect the battery
    2
  11125. Hi! 400-800 is about the range. Dealerships might be a bit higher
    2
  11126. Hi! You don’t have too if you are aware of air bags and how they accidentally deploy. One thing is to not turn the key on with them unplugged
    2
  11127. Hi! Thank you for the video suggestion! So honestly with Toyota I wouldn’t replace hoses unless they’re very brittle
    2
  11128. Over 100k miles. Don’t know about the previous owner but most seats turn like this after miles more than time and most don’t feel it.
    2
  11129. Hi! If the key is off you can disconnect them. No codes would be set unless you turn the key on
    2
  11130. Hi! Unfortunately that’s how Subaru seats are and if you research online many have the same concern. Short of modifying the seat which would then affect the airbags not much can be done
    2
  11131. Hi! As a professional mechanic I cannot advise either way. I don’t recommend it as you could compromise the safety of your car.
    2
  11132. Hi! Many random back seat rattles concerns. Usually not a specific thing. More of a look and see what’s causing the rattle Type diagnosis. Sometimes the tracks make noise and can be insulated
    2
  11133. Hi! You can buy one from Toyota but they are very expensive. I would consult a mobile leather repair company first or an auto upholstery company for options and compare prices
    2
  11134. Hi! The seat cushion is different from side to side as far as I know
    2
  11135. Hi! If you price out a whole new seat from Toyota, you will not want to sit in one anymore. They are ridiculously expensive as a whole unit for some reason. The last seat that got replaced as a whole was I think a land cruiser seat which was over $7000 for the part alone! Repairs is always the way to go with seats unless you’re getting a used one from a junk yard.
    2
  11136. Hi! Disconnect the 12v battery as there’s an airbag connector on the seat
    2
  11137. Hi! I can’t say if it’ll fit 100% but there’s a very high chance it will.
    2
  11138. Usually in the gauge cluster
    2
  11139. Interesting. I would have to see it to know but generally it’s not beneficial to use eco mode on a steep hill. If anything sport or power mode is the one I’d use.
    2
  11140. Hi! I would use either. When the car is stopped it doesn’t make any difference honestly.
    2
  11141. That will come in a future video.
    2
  11142. Hi! A Camry hybrid will be the same as your Prius. It will cycle the gasoline engine on and off as needed
    2
  11143. Hi! It will be an adjustment. I would test drive one and see how it feels
    2
  11144. Trail mode is intended for light off road use. It sends more power to the wheels and really throws gas mileage out of the window. It also puts a tremendous strain on the hybrid system if you drive on normal roads at higher speeds. I don’t recommend you use it unless you’re off road.
    2
  11145. Hey brother! I’d say Camry SE/XSE or Avalon touring. The TRD Camry and Avalon are also nice. The v6 Camry Xse especially.
    2
  11146. Likely nothing wrong. Check the tire pressure and give it a bit more time then reset the mpg meter
    2
  11147. Interesting. Honestly I would have to inspect and see what’s causing it kick the engine on. Bring it by the dealerships attention and see if they can see anything in the operation history
    2
  11148. Hi! Depends on your needs. Both of them are good options
    2
  11149. With good maintenance and car it should last a very long time.
    2
  11150. I would recommend 2 things. First check out a great channel on detailing called ammo NYC. Their products work very good. Then look into ceramic coating for the exterior. Works much better than traditional wax
    2
  11151. They really have no direct impact on the battery health.
    2
  11152. They are similar. The reason you feel in eco mode it takes a lot to get the car moving is intentional. It’s trying to limit how much you press the gas pedal to improve economy
    2
  11153. Hi! XLE premium seems to be the best middle ground. Has good features and not as expensive as the limited
    2
  11154. So the car wouldn’t normally charge in park but it would do so if the battery is low it would start the engine and charge the battery
    2
  11155. Honestly it would have to be checked. It’s hard to tell if there’s an issue with the battery but at this age it’s not likely for this age unless the miles are very high
    2
  11156. Hi! Many things could cause this low number. First is the car like tires, sticking brakes and just a generally degraded battery. Then the driving style.
    2
  11157. Lower weather does affect gas mileage. However it will still be impressive with hybrids nonetheless
    2
  11158. Hi! So the EV will give you an estimate of your mileage in EV mode. The first thing you want to do is reset it and recount it. Perhaps every has fill up reset it so you’d get an accurate reading off of the current gas tank.
    2
  11159. Hi! The new RAV4 hybrid is excellent. Since you’ve already had a hybrid Toyota you’ll find the new ones much improved!
    2
  11160. I agree
    2
  11161. Hi! Give it a bit more Driving miles and see. Also reset the mpg counter and see if it becomes accurate again
    2
  11162. Hi! Some newer models will have S which would simulate a manual transmission. It works the same it just varies the level of B mode
    2
  11163. Hi! Driving in eco mode doesn’t affect the EGR build up. Unfortunately that model year Prius is prone to developing egr issues. Good gas quality and timely oil changes helps. If your engine burns oil that also contributes to the egr issues
    2
  11164. Hi! Eco does make a small difference but not significant honestly
    2
  11165. Hi! I’ll look into it
    2
  11166. Thank you for watching! Hope you’re doing well.
    2
  11167. Hi! If it’s a rotten egg smell that’s from the catalytic converter which is somewhat normal and means that the car is not driven hard often
    2
  11168. Hi! I wouldn’t shut off the car at a traffic light. I would perhaps engage EV mode which could engage automatically if you’re stopped at a light
    2
  11169. Hi! There’s a common issue with those steering columns regarding a small clip and an adjustment. Your dealership or your trusted mechanic can do the repair.
    2
  11170. Eco mode honestly works better in the newer models. For daily driving in city situations it can become counterproductive and actually end up with the same mileage as you’re always pushing the car to accelerate.
    2
  11171. I’m working on a series focused around the Prius prime and the RAV4 prime.
    2
  11172. The USB port on your Prius V and most Toyota models is not really the best place to charge your phone. It has low output and more designed for data transfer. Your best bet is to use a phone charger from the cigarette lighter.
    2
  11173. Hi! The computer actually won’t allow the hybrid battery to go critically low. So using EV mode doesn’t harm the battery.
    2
  11174. As j Lawr mentioned. Turn it back on. If it doesn’t do anything there might be an issue with the system where it would needs codes pulled and diagnosed.
    2
  11175. Hi! Yes you can switch as you drive
    2
  11176. When the engine runs out of gas and it’s commanded to come on by the hybrid system it will keep trying to turn it on until the battery level drops low and everything shuts down.
    2
  11177. I am working on a video for trail mode with details.
    2
  11178. On the newer models it changes the response of the steering. Not something super significant though.
    2
  11179. On most models nothing is changed in the suspension as it’s not air suspension or electronically controlled.
    2
  11180. Hi! Thank you for watching. It will prioritize EV mode however it will switch to HV mode if you have high demand for heating, turn the defroster on or go over 84MPH
    2
  11181. On the 2016 model it’s underneath the back seat
    2
  11182. Hi! it charges on its own.
    2
  11183. Amen!
    2
  11184. I wouldn’t worry about that part. The engine will turn off and shut off and evidence of premature wear on the engine because of this is not an issue I’ve seen.
    2
  11185. Hi! If the engine comes on in a few moments after you start the car then give it a minute or two. If it doesn’t then likely the ambient temperature is high enough where a warm up is not needed.
    2
  11186. Hi! You can change modes at any speed without issues.
    2
  11187. The hybrid system is well designed to come with any weather. However in hot climates I would use the ac as it uses the cabin air to cool the battery.
    2
  11188. Hi and thank you for watching my videos! Honestly both are good. They each have their advantages and disadvantages but the nimh battery is tried and true and I wouldn’t worry buying a hybrid with one.
    2
  11189. Hi Ahmad! If you ever get a chance to drive a Prius prime or a RAV4 prime they take off rapidly! The Prius prime tapers off but the RAV4 just keeps going. Nothing accelerates like electric motors.
    2
  11190. Hi! The s mode + and - simulates a manual transmission also serves to artificially downshift the car to help with braking when going down a hill. It replaced b mode.
    2
  11191. Hi! Push the brake pedal and hold it when switching from reverse to drive. And you can change driving modes just by pushing the buttons
    2
  11192. Hi! I would charge it as needed. Charge it the use the charge when it depletes drive it for a day or two on gasoline then charge it again.
    2
  11193. You can switch while driving
    2
  11194. Hi! On hybrids the engine will shut off until it needs to charge the battery then it’ll come on
    2
  11195. Hi! I think the corolla will better for Uber than the Prius prime. A regular Prius would be better than a Prius prime as well but the corolla is a very good choice
    2
  11196. Hi! If it’s installed properly and done well it shouldn’t be an issue
    2
  11197. Hi! Thank you for watching my video! This is a demo car used in this video. I got my eyes on a RAV4 prime at the moment. We’ll see as they become more available.
    2
  11198. Normal mode
    2
  11199. Hi suzi! If you keep your speeds below 80 mph you’re doing good with efficiency. They are most efficient in city driving at speeds up to 45. Highway speeds they still do good but because you’re not braking often the battery doesn’t charge as much from braking.
    2
  11200. Hi! Yes you can without issues.
    2
  11201. Hi! The transition between the two is always not 100% smooth and the noise is the electric motor turning the engine to start which is normal
    2
  11202. I don’t see how this would affect the hybrid battery life honestly. The computer won’t allow the hybrid battery to drop below a preset level.
    2
  11203. Hi! Hybrids will automatically kick on EV mode until the battery level drops. The newer ones do that a lot more often than the older ones
    2
  11204. Hi! There’s a campaign to fix this issue now
    2
  11205. It’s very annoying I agree. You can disable it by the way with the button
    2
  11206. Was it the start stop technology?
    2
  11207. Hi! It’s a full series on hybrids. Find it here https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeFzfl0Q8rQUgJLQheNbttBtKT6iSOX4D
    2
  11208. The highlander hybrid will have ok gas mileage. Otherwise both won’t have the greatest gas mileage
    2
  11209. Hi Juan! Unfortunately most of the interior parts will be hard to find new. Likely forums and Facebook groups for used parts for sale is your best bet
    2
  11210. Will do in the future
    2
  11211. The water pump is a bit tight but not very difficult to do. The thermostat is easier than the water pump. The alternator is bit tight to come out as well but doable in the car
    2
  11212. I think it’s a nice car. So far they have very few issues
    2
  11213. Hi! It is applicable to your rav4
    2
  11214. Hi! Use the chart in the owners manual. Find the median temperature and match it up with an oil weight
    2
  11215. Hi! That is an issue that’s possible with the highlander. It’s fixable though. Film a video as you drive and show it to the dealership. They’ll be able to fix it
    2
  11216. Hi! That doesn’t seem correct as the car in this video is a 2021 xle and it has leather seats
    2
  11217. I would go with the XLE as well. Seems to be the best of both worlds. The LE is too basic. The limited is too expensive but very nice.
    2
  11218. Sorry for the disappointment 😉 I haven’t done a video comparison but that’s a good subject and definitely added to the list thank you!
    2
  11219. Hi! I have! Here’s a link to that review https://youtu.be/2TxBiMQCLlg
    2
  11220. There is a fix for that. A software update..
    2
  11221. Pretty much the same engine
    2
  11222. It depends on the model and it’s equipment. If you tried it and it works then it’s equipped
    2
  11223. Yes it does if equipped
    2
  11224. Hi! If gas mileage is a high priority I would go with the hybrid
    2
  11225. Hi! It does have a high reserve.
    2
  11226. New tires please. That’s too new of a car for used tires.
    2
  11227. Hi! They can be a bit loud and sometimes you’ll feel it in the pedals
    2
  11228. Hi! Yes the base model has a similar setup as the cross
    2
  11229. Hi! You’ll want to get codes to see what’s going on for the check engine light. The other warning lights are on because of the check engine light so once that is resolved they’ll go off as well
    2
  11230. Hi! Both are very good hybrids. The highlander is larger than the venza.
    2
  11231. Hi! I have but Toyota has more cars on the road and they’re basically the same
    2
  11232. Hi! Likely the quality of the cut on the rotors is not good. Record a video and show it to the dealership that did the work
    2
  11233. They’ll probably last the same time.
    2
  11234. Hi! They are very similar mechanically. The RX is nicer and quieter but more expensive
    2
  11235. Hi! Look for my video on the Tacoma
    2
  11236. Hi! Bring it to the dealership attention and film a video so they can hear it and take care of it
    2
  11237. Hi! If you drive this car often but short trips it would be beneficial to own one. If you park it for moths at a time repeatedly then I would go with a non hybrid
    2
  11238. Hi! It is still the case because of the start stop technology
    2
  11239. The rear wiper just pop the little cover at the opposite side and while arm wil come up
    2
  11240. Xle or xle hybrid. Xse is very nice but expensive
    2
  11241. Hi! Its within the towing capacity but it will be a load that you’ll feel going up. Best is to rent one and do the trip with it and see how you feel about it
    2
  11242. Hi! The hybrid battery doesn’t do anything when the ready light is off. So if the 12v battery dies the car won’t start and will need a jump
    2
  11243. Buzzing with the car off and unattended? If that’s the case that’s normal and it’s a self test for the evaporative system
    2
  11244. Hi! Have a series on how hybrids work in details. Find it here https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeFzfl0Q8rQUgJLQheNbttBtKT6iSOX4D
    2
  11245. Hi! No they don’t have cylinder deactivation
    2
  11246. Yes I haven’t seen any cases
    2
  11247. Hi! The throttle body every 50k or so. I’m working on a video that’ll help you do it yourself
    2
  11248. Hi! I would do a single drain and fill
    2
  11249. Hi! Every 60k miles or 6 years
    2
  11250. Hi! 2018+ to be on the safe side
    2
  11251. Hi! I think it’s a good model reliability wise. As a car there are some questionable things like the rear door handle location and the price
    2
  11252. Hi! Honestly I haven’t tried it myself. Some folks have shared using some after market tunes improve the shifting
    2
  11253. Take it over to them again. If they pressure tested and it didn’t leak then there can’t be leaks. Maybe it’s air in the system that’s coming out and dropping the coolant level.
    2
  11254. Top it off and see if it drops again. Could’ve been not filled from the factory
    2
  11255. Hi! That’s not entirely true in modern cars. In very old cars where they all had a terrible 3 speed transmission and screamed at high rpm at high speeds yes maybe. But not anymore
    2
  11256. Hi! For the 2021 most of the issues are resolved. Just keep up the maintenance.
    2
  11257. Hi! I haven’t had personal experience with the tunes but many viewers have notes that it helps a lot with the transmission shifting
    2
  11258. The transmission is reliable but normally the way it shifts can get annoying to some
    2
  11259. Hi! Anything spilled over the shifter?
    2
  11260. Hi! It doesn’t recognize the change unfortunately and at the dealership level there’s no way to manually change it. Have you had this truck for a long time? Perhaps resetting the transmission memory could help improve things
    2
  11261. Hi! They both will get the job done. Likely the automatic will be slightly easier
    2
  11262. Hi! Not yet
    2
  11263. I’d honestly keep the 4runner
    2
  11264. Yeah I recently drove one. 6 gears is much, 10 is way too much.
    2
  11265. Tacoma’s always held their price high. Possibly only second to 4runners and FJ cruisers
    2
  11266. Hi! Have them check the fluid level first
    2
  11267. It’s risky but might work
    2
  11268. Towards the end of April beginning of may. We’re having some issues getting some of the parts
    2
  11269. Hi! You either turn them ( resurface them ) or replace them. If the rotor is original and is not below minimum spec it can be resurfaced
    2
  11270. Hi jan. That is correct. If possible I’d rather resurface the originals than use aftermarket. Also shop around for originals sometimes you’ll be surprised at how close the price is to aftermarket. Resurfacing rotors also has a limit which is the minimum thickness
    2
  11271. Hi! Either resurface the rotors if possible or replace them. Just replacing pads and leaving the rotor alone is not advised
    2
  11272. Hi! Nothing different just don’t open the hydraulic circuit
    2
  11273. Good catch! Need to get a cover for that for the videos 😂
    2
  11274. Hi! Honestly I would worry about the backing plates when they get rusty and fall out. Yes they serve a purpose and yes the brakes could get rusty quicker however on most models to replace it you’d need to pull the bearing out and this is likely a rust belt car so you’d have to destroy the bearing to replace it which gets pretty expensive. I wouldn’t worry about them unless you’re replacing the bearing anyway then get a new backing plate.
    2
  11275. Hi! They should work with the aftermarket pads
    2
  11276. That’s coming up in the future in addition to hybrid brakes and the new electronic parking brake.
    2
  11277. Honestly Eric it’s supposed to self adjust but it usually never works well. If you are doing this yourself I would clean and adjust them every 10k miles or so
    2
  11278. Hi! Honestly it’s not worth the trouble. I would just leave it as is. If you ever do a bearing replacement then replace it
    2
  11279. Hi! It looks right
    2
  11280. Oh wow I didn’t know that was not the case in Canada! I hope at least their prices are low!!
    2
  11281. Good idea! I’ll add it to the list and make a video for brake fluid replacement on hybrids
    2
  11282. Hi! No extra steps in your Prius. Exactly as the video. As long as you don’t open the hydraulic circuit ( like opening bleeders) you got nothing to worry about. No need to disconnect the battery
    2
  11283. Hi! When it comes to parking brake shoes if they are not worn down to metal, rusty or otherwise have another issue there’s no need to replace them and usually they last a very long time.
    2
  11284. Hi! Check your backing plate. If it’s bent it will contact the rotor when you make turns.
    2
  11285. No replace the brakes normally like you would in a gasoline only car but don’t open the hydraulic circuit.
    2
  11286. Hi Namal, The example in this video is for a Camry some models like your RAV4 doesn’t have the pins from the factory. A good rule of thumb is to look at the original brakes and duplicate them. If they didn’t have them from the factory then you’re good. If they are aftermarket or have been replaced before then double check
    2
  11287. Let me get back to you on that as I don’t have access to my computer at the moment. Do me a favor and replay to this comment so I won’t miss it
    2
  11288. Hi! So if your pads are not around 2-3 mm in thickness I would replace them. On your hybrid expect the brakes to last a lot more than 60k. That’s because hybrids use regenerative braking and don’t use the disc brakes as much as a non hybrid car.
    2
  11289. Hi! Don’t bleed them the conventional way. A scan tool is needed. If you just want to replace the fluid you need a vacuum or pressure bleeder. You should never press the brake pedal on hybrids with the bleeder open
    2
  11290. Ahmad Ghosheh that works! That’s a good idea actually!
    2
  11291. Hi! 76 ft lbs
    2
  11292. Thanks! Coming up in a few weeks.
    2
  11293. Thank you for watching my channel. The leather care is actually similar to any leather care although most models actually have imitation leather which doesn’t require much maintenance
    2
  11294. It could be. We’ll find out next winter!
    2
  11295. Thank you! Things are moving along and majority of the important items you mentioned are done or in progress.
    2
  11296. Hi! I would replace it every 6 months honestly
    2
  11297. I proposed that they said no. They explained from a cost prospective it makes sense to do the prep and floor at the same time to keep true to their original estimate
    2
  11298. Hi! I changed the oil in my personal car that I bought new at 1000 miles.
    2
  11299. Hi! Air conditioning is going in this week. The heaters worked well when we first saw the unit but we’ll find out with doors opening and closing next winter
    2
  11300. Hi! First clean the Throttle body and see if it improves. Next is the engine mounts especially the one on top from the engine to the body
    2
  11301. Hi! Long term lease. Buying a commercial property is not financially feasible at this point. I wish I could
    2
  11302. Hi! No they’re just passing across the building from the meter
    2
  11303. Hi Joe! It is actually an idea to draw the channel logo. Just need to find the artist to do it.
    2
  11304. Hi! Thank you! On the cable I am actively looking into solutions and information for this to put together a video to help. I’m working on it
    2
  11305. I second this! Best comment ever! Thank you Eric!
    2
  11306. Hi! Thank you! I still work at the dealership until the shop opens
    2
  11307. FedEx it is!
    2
  11308. Hi Stephen! That was a test loan from Toyota for a review that’s coming up next week on the Supra. You’re correct the Supra is more of a track car and the RCF is more of a cruiser. More details and specifics on the review
    2
  11309. Hi! I am still at the dealership at the moment until the shop opens
    2
  11310. This is likely going to be one of the biggest problems in my shop. Starting out I will be working on all the cars that go through the shop. Possibly a helper in the future would be nice to help out but I will still be carrying the majority of the work in the shop.
    2
  11311. Hi! The drainage is required to pass inspections and protect the environment for an automotive shop
    2
  11312. Hi! I plan to cover this topic once I have more helpful information like how to prevent it. I’ll get to it eventually.
    2
  11313. We’re aiming for scheduling to open mid to late May if everything goes well with construction
    2
  11314. It was really good! Spend much needed time with family. How was yours?
    2
  11315. Hi! You can adjust it at cold but warm it up and double check it at hot once done
    2
  11316. Yes still at the dealership
    2
  11317. Limited initially. Could possibly explore it as time allows
    2
  11318. Thank you! I’ll remember the vitamin D very good point
    2
  11319. Hi! No I still work at the dealership
    2
  11320. Hi! Yes it was a loan for a review. Releasing next week
    2
  11321. Yes in the future
    2
  11322. Hi! Two completely different cars honestly. The NX is very nice but the 4runner is just special
    2
  11323. Each dealership will have a contract with a company that applies the coating. I would ask what products they use
    2
  11324. I was and now I’m back! I edited the videos before time and had them uploaded and scheduled
    2
  11325. Best manual is the original one which you can purchase day by day access to at techinfo.Toyota.com
    2
  11326. Hi! So you’ll want to spray undercoating inside the frame through the open holes then seal most of them leaving a small amount open towards the back in case water gets in so it would drain. And try to reapply the undercoating every year or two on areas that wore off.
    2
  11327. Hi! Yes it does
    2
  11328. Hi! For some of them they do
    2
  11329. Hi! I don’t see how under coating like krown or fluid film would affect warranty. No such thing in the US or at least in my area
    2
  11330. Hi! So the newer Tacoma’s are coated on the inside so you only have to pressure wash the outside and you’re good. If you drive in snow it’s not an issue, but if the snowy area has salt used on the roads then I’d coat it
    2
  11331. Probably around 50-60 CP. the Tacoma and tundras are less
    2
  11332. I would pressure wash and coat it. If you want to go an extra mile, you can neutralize the rust first then coat it
    2
  11333. Will reveal that soon 😉🤫
    2
  11334. Hi! I haven’t seen a rust converter working on these frames as you can’t reach the inside well. I would coat it for now to slow things down
    2
  11335. It could work but you’d want to treat the area where it’s drilled
    2
  11336. Hi! They’re actually very good especially the 2016-2018
    2
  11337. They are but they’re also older and could have issue simply due to age
    2
  11338. Hi! Quick jack by bendpak
    2
  11339. Hi! That is actually normal mileage for this van
    2
  11340. Hi! They did in 2005 with the introduction of the 2GR-FE
    2
  11341. Hi! Unfortunately no on the ones that go behind the carpet. It’s not as hard as it loooks
    2
  11342. Hi! Maintenance is a big thing. Oil leaks and suspension especially the struts
    2
  11343. Hi! Aftermarket fluid
    2
  11344. Hi! Up to 5 hours of labor plus parts
    2
  11345. Hi! Under coating or better yet fluid film
    2
  11346. Hi if memory serves right it does have a bulb for the shifter
    2
  11347. Hi! Try using a different brand of gasoline
    2
  11348. Hi! A few issues that are common here and there. Power steering line leaking the rerun line. Front timing cover leaks, exhaust breaks if you live in the rust belt
    2
  11349. Hi! I would first try to resolve it with the dealership then corporate
    2
  11350. Not yet. In the future I will
    2
  11351. Specific to the Avalon. Very short turning radius. You need to turn the wheel a lot to make direction changes which makes it feel loose. And no on center feel at all. Any curve in the road the car will follow very easily
    2
  11352. Hi! I usually tell people on a pre purchase inspection that what you see on the car is 50% of the story. The other 50% we’ll find out once you start driving the car. If I miss something obvious I try to help them as that’s the right thing to do.
    2
  11353. Hi! I can do the work. The schedule is a bit backed up at the moment but should clear up in June
    2
  11354. Exactly!
    2
  11355. Hi! The 4runner is absolutely up there high on the list
    2
  11356. Hi! I do have plans to do that follow up video once I get one
    2
  11357. Hi! Honestly it’s not a very diy job on the rears for this one. Special tools are needed and a press
    2
  11358. Hi! Resetting the transmission memory will fix this issue to a degree. You’ll need a scan tool
    2
  11359. A bit different for the tundra
    2
  11360. Hi! You can but in some cases the hub is pitted and gets damaged
    2
  11361. Hi! It will vary by model
    2
  11362. Hi! They go randomly honestly. The rears are a lot tougher and not as common. I would replace only the one that has an issue
    2
  11363. Hi! Is the fan running and is the charge level correct?
    2
  11364. Techinfo.Toyota.com
    2
  11365. Hi brother! They will seep a bit light that however it’s not good for the battery for that seepage to linger. Spray it down with some water and dry it with compressed air
    2
  11366. Hi! I haven’t tested others to recommend. When I do I’ll post a review
    2
  11367. Hi! It should work
    2
  11368. Hi! Something is very fishy about this car with that price. If you price out the entire fuel system and add a new engine on top the insurance still wouldn’t total this car as their values are very high. Also there’s no 2020 RAV4 prime. It should be a 2021. I’d be careful with this one
    2
  11369. Thank you for watching my brother!
    2
  11370. Hi! In the case of hybrid toyotas the crank test and alternator test won’t work because as you mentioned they don’t have an alternator or starter
    2
  11371. Hi! The voltage of the alternator is not an indication of it charging. You’d want to measure the amperage it’s putting out or at least it’s voltage under heavy load. After you shut off the car that is static voltage and will go if you place any load. The noise is normal as various components come alive for a bit when you connect the battery
    2
  11372. Hi! It tests the health of the battery but this is a tester for the 12v battery not the hybrid battery
    2
  11373. Hi! I use a memory saver on every battery I replace.
    2
  11374. Hi! There’s no specific number as that will vary on many factors. Over 50-100mV and I am concerned.
    2
  11375. Thank you for the suggestion labeeb. I will look into getting a few brake fluid testers and compare them to a professional grade unit to find a good tester for DIY
    2
  11376. I would wait on the battery if it’s testing good. This applies to you where you can switch out the battery if needed and test the battery regularly. When it reaches 7 years old I would just replace it at that point
    2
  11377. Thank you so much!
    2
  11378. Thank you Dominic! Always here to help with whatever I can.
    2
  11379. From what I know about the active cornering it actually uses abs to slow down one wheel to prevent oversteer and under steer
    2
  11380. You should be ok. Most people naturally take it easy when driving a new car. Unless it was driven hard from mile one for the whole 3000 miles then I wouldn’t be concerned. Keep up the maintenance, take care of the car and it will take care of you
    2
  11381. Hi! Yes replace the oil filter on every oil change including the break in
    2
  11382. Hi! It’s not bad. Just keep up the maintenance
    2
  11383. Hi! Try to vary your engine speed as best as possible avoid hard acceleration
    2
  11384. That’s another option. However I would scan through your driving conditions. Do you use the car in special operating conditions which would then turn your oil changes to 5000 mile intervals.
    2
  11385. Hi Eric, thank you for watching my channel. Now on the RAV4 prime I might have made references on full charge on the channel. The actual full charge allowed if just north of 80% charging batteries to actual 100% is flat dangerous. However keeping the battery at 84% and not being use repeatedly is not good for the longevity of the battery. That’s why I encourage you to use the charge schedule so 20 years from now we can say the battery held up pretty good.
    2
  11386. Not cool..... these are peoples cars who will pay a lot of money for and care for. Glad the cars we get at work come directly from the plants in the US....
    2
  11387. Hi! You’re ok. One time or even a few times is ok. Just don’t do it every single day intentionally
    2
  11388. Up to 1000 miles
    2
  11389. Hi! Just normal break in with good quality oil.
    2
  11390. Hi! If the oil change is done right it shouldn’t be an issue
    2
  11391. Hi! It won’t void your warranty to have a shop change the oil. Also it depends on the dealership for Toyota care
    2
  11392. Actually on a prime I would worry about the engine oil even more. It doesn’t run all the time and when it does it’s for a short time and short distance. So essentially it’s an engine that runs for short trips and never warms up fully
    2
  11393. Hi! You should be ok just generally take it easy
    2
  11394. The larger the tire the slightly less comfortable ride but on the RAV4 it’s hardly noticeable. I would go for the one that has the features that you really want
    2
  11395. Yes that’s correct.
    2
  11396. Hi! Thank you for watching my channel. It’s possible to swap the radios as long as you don’t get one with a JBL or an external amplifier as it won’t work at that point. On your rav4 most functions if not all will work plug and play no programming needed.
    2
  11397. Hi! Use the oil that is recommended. Almost all new toyotas use synthetic oil today so I would use synthetic oil
    2
  11398. Personally I would. I do this on all my cars. Oil is cheap.
    2
  11399. It shouldn’t be squeaky if you’re referring to the shifter. I would have the dealership take a look and fix it under warranty
    2
  11400. Hi! It shouldn’t void the warranty if done right with the correct oil and filter
    2
  11401. It is increased in hybrids and puts a strain on the transmission more than a normal non hybrid
    2
  11402. Thank you! I always see this on first oil changes and it pains me how people over go their first oil change on their brand new car.
    2
  11403. I would change it as you near 5000 miles the first oil change is very important.
    2
  11404. Hi! That could be a start up misfire. Common things is oil in the intake or sticking throttle body.
    2
  11405. Hi! They likely will stick to the original schedule I would just pay for the the first oil change in between
    2
  11406. Hi! Personally I would still change it every 5k but you could go the 10k if your driving doesn’t fall in special operating conditions. The earlier you change the better
    2
  11407. Hi! Not for the transmission and differentials just the engine oil
    2
  11408. Hi! Just take it easy on the truck on the drive home, try to vary the speed and avoid cruise control. Keeping it below 70mph is a good idea.
    2
  11409. Yes. They might give you strange look as most people don’t do this but insist on it and they’ll get it done.
    2
  11410. Thank you for watching my video!
    2
  11411. Hi mike. It’s totally up to you. The break in oil change is not required but if you are keeping this car a very long time perhaps invest in a break in oil change
    2
  11412. Hi! It shouldn’t be an issue. I would consider the break in oil change at 1k miles
    2
  11413. Hi! No harm in using stabil.
    2
  11414. Hi! You can avoid them if you avoid hard acceleration
    2
  11415. Hi mike! I hear you but adding turbos or supercharger to that engine is not a walk in the park as it’s an Atkinson cycle engine if it’s the v6 model
    2
  11416. Hi! I have a general video for extended warranties https://youtu.be/C5v-Eka8_Nc
    2
  11417. Hi! It should be ok. Try to not lock your cruise control and keep your speeds below 70 and you should be ok
    2
  11418. Hi! You can install an external one up to 1500 watt
    2
  11419. I’m getting old and forgetful but if memory serves right there’s a bracket that comes apart held with 2 or 4 bolts that the shield connects to. You can replace that and life is good. On the very front you can actually reach in and find the welded nut which is likely broken and install a new one
    2
  11420. So which skid plate the front one covering the oil filter area or the back one which has the opening for the drain plug?
    2
  11421. They don’t have break in oil and you don’t need break in oil if you follow the break in recommendations
    2
  11422. They do improve a bit as time passes and you pass the break in period
    2
  11423. Absolutely! 12 out of 10 car renters don’t treat the car right.
    2
  11424. Hi! On the primes an oil change by time is essential as the running time for the engine of the engine is short mimicking that of a frequent short trips and I think nitrogen air is not really worth it
    2
  11425. Hi Richard. You can do your oil changes yourself however if there’s ever an issue while the car is under warranty they could ask you for maintenance records and receipts for parts purchased don’t count. It has to be a place of business receipt clearly stating the vin no. Date and mileage. It doesn’t have to be a dealership.
    2
  11426. Hi! In the Chicago area
    2
  11427. Hi! It won’t void your warranty and if you don’t tell them why just ask for an oil change and pay for it they shouldn’t have issues
    2
  11428. Hi! Just for the break in period then every 5k miles
    2
  11429. That shouldn’t be an issue.
    2
  11430. Hi! The transmission fluid typically doesn’t have a break in oil change.
    2
  11431. Hi Tom! I haven’t seen nests on the covers yet honestly. And usually they nest near the engine because of the heat. You are doing well with the mint oil mixture which works well. Prevention is key here and regular cleaning under the hood helps as well keep them out.
    2
  11432. Hi! You don’t want to have the engine at steady rpm. Like locked cruise control for hours and hours. Try to vary your engine speed and avoid hard acceleration
    2
  11433. Hi! I would stick with the recommended oil in your owners manual
    2
  11434. Hi! On hybrids it’s actually a good choice as it’s a different engine and combined with the hybrid system it provides good power levels.
    2
  11435. Hi! Take it easy on the drive. Try to vary your speed as much as possible and consider a break in oil change
    2
  11436. Hi! No reason to panic. Perhaps consider changing the engine oil earlier and everything will be ok.
    2
  11437. Hi! Change the engine oil only. And not sure what you meant by the warranty question. Could you clarify?
    2
  11438. Hi Anderson. Hybrids have the same break in period recommendations as this video
    2
  11439. Hi Javier. The engine in the Tacoma can be loud at times and resemble a Diesel engine. That’s because of the direct injection.
    2
  11440. That is normal. Try not to make sharp turns on dry pavement.
    2
  11441. Hi! Don’t worry. Just avoid hard acceleration and high speeds over 75-80 and you’re good.
    2
  11442. Hi! I would consider a break in oil change as you mentioned. Finish the break in period and change the oil.
    2
  11443. That’s ok. A lot of folks do this and even if it’s not recommended you bought a Toyota for a reason. Follow up with good maintenance schedule of 5k oil changes and keep up on the general maintenance. The V8 in your tundra is stout and can take a break in beating.
    2
  11444. Hi! It’s a long trip. Try to vary the speeds and avoid hard acceleration and consider a break in oil change
    2
  11445. Hi! I would still get the break in oil change at 1000 miles in hybrids. It’s just under that but not too far off as the engine comes on and off regularly.
    2
  11446. No. You can drive it home just take it easy on the drive home and consider a break in oil change
    2
  11447. Thank you for your comment. Read your owners manual…
    2
  11448. Hi! Synthetic oil does good to engines however changing the engine oil on time in engines that use conventional oil is ok as well.
    2
  11449. Scientifically there’s absolutely no benefit from doing that. It can’t hurt so it’s up to you
    2
  11450. Hi! It does have an oil separator
    2
  11451. That is a very good question. One that I actually asked the team at Yota for and haven’t gotten a response yet. It’s in the manual and the repair manual and in a TSB for storage as well.
    2
  11452. This is a good car to buy if you like how hybrids drive
    2
  11453. Hi! It shouldn’t be an issue but try to change the oil every 5k miles in your ownership
    2
  11454. Not really. Toyota doesn’t usually influence the dealership on maintenance schedule. Some dealerships just like to play heroes without actually doing the right thing
    2
  11455. Hi! That works if you pay for them.
    2
  11456. Hi! There’s no special break in oil from the factory
    2
  11457. Hi! It wouldn’t damage the engine. Just take it easy on the trip and consider a break in oil change
    2
  11458. Unfortunately with the prepaid maintenance they won’t do it for less than 10k miles. You’d have to pay out of picked if you want to follow the 5k interval. Also checking the oil condition before the oil change and after you’ll be able to tell if they did or not
    2
  11459. That’s ok. Consider a break in oil change and you’re good to go. Congratulations on your new car
    2
  11460. I don’t think there’s any warranty that would give you issues for taking care of your car and following the manufacturers recommendations.
    2
  11461. Hi! See this video on the section marked maintenance mode https://youtu.be/_lWLMJ_4G24
    2
  11462. Ok that could be a few things. But before that let me ask you a few things. How many miles? What year? And if you rev the engine up does it go away?
    2
  11463. Hi! Upload a video and share so I can listen.
    2
  11464. Hi! You can do that. Or you can just follow the break in procedures every time the engine comes on and extend the 1000 miles to 2000 miles. Whichever works best for your driving conditions.
    2
  11465. Hi! Try to vary your speed on the trip. Try avoid using cruise control locked at one speed for 6 hours. Every little bit change the speed and consider doing the break in oil change at 1000 miles and everything will be good
    2
  11466. I would stick with the F2 for the ones designed for F2 and now F2 has become N1
    2
  11467. As far as I know the oil filled at the factory is the same oil that comes in the bottles from the dealership.
    2
  11468. That is correct 5k miles is better
    2
  11469. Hi! The top part comes off first then the whole bottom parts slides off not comes straight out
    2
  11470. Fixing it is not exactly diy friendly as engine disassembly is needed. I would ask them to clean the leak or use brake cleaner to clean it and check on it the next oil change. Don’t be alarmed this leak will not affect the way the car runs
    2
  11471. No real way to prevent it. As cars get older they tend to leak. However fixing the leaks right will extend their likeliness of leaking again in a short time
    2
  11472. The reserve is high that is correct. I would however let your dealership know on this issue on your next service. Sometimes a calibration is needed. Also previous years of this generation rav4 had an issue with fueling. Could include your car and the dealership can check.
    2
  11473. Hi! It’s not late for break in
    2
  11474. Congratulations on your purchase! Toyota oil is made by Mobil 1 as a special blend for Toyota engines.
    2
  11475. Hi! Your Camry is filled with 0w16 Toyota oil from the factory.
    2
  11476. Hi! Keep it low on the speeds and vary your speeds whenever possible and you’re good. Congratulations!
    2
  11477. It shouldn’t affect it much. Just follow the recommendations in your owners manual for break in
    2
  11478. There’s nothing special about the oil filled from the factory or the filter.
    2
  11479. Hi! In this case take it easy on the drive and try your best to vary the speed when possible and consider a break in oil change.
    2
  11480. Hi! Yes you can.
    2
  11481. Hi! It’s ok don’t worry but try to avoid it
    2
  11482. Could you email me a picture of its location to be sure?
    2
  11483. Congratulations! Glad I could help and thank you for watching my channel!
    2
  11484. Hi! They run them for a short period of time
    2
  11485. Read your owners manual. Don’t take my word or the sales persons word.
    2
  11486. If this is a new car you’ll see very fine metallic flakes in the oil. It’s not an issue that is normal with any new engine. I noticed on the Supra which has an engine from BMW it had significantly more flakes on the first oil changes.
    2
  11487. Honestly I would use 87. Ethanol free gas is hard to find.
    2
  11488. Hi! Just take it easy on the drive. Avoid hard acceleration and keep your speeds below 65 mph. And consider a break in oil change around 1000 miles
    2
  11489. That’s one way to look at it. But another way is that the engine is shutting off and oil flow is not continuous and the oil just sits in a hot engine without circulation. I would change it the same way as a non hybrid
    2
  11490. Thank you Alex! Hope you don’t deal with break in for a long time as you’ll keep this Camry for a long time!
    2
  11491. Hi Ben! If you are over 500 miles you’re good. If not then take the car on the trip but on the way there take it easy and try to keep your speeds lower. Basically at the speed limits. Avoid hard acceleration where the engine revs up very high. Likely on the way back you’ll be over the break in period and everything is good. To have peace of mind consider a break in oil change around 1000 miles and you’re all set. Have a safe trip
    2
  11492. Try to vary your speed and avoid high rpms and everything will be good.
    2
  11493. Hi! I would check the axles and if this is AWD check the driveshaft and rear diff mount
    2
  11494. Hi! No break in oil change for the transmission
    2
  11495. Hi! Absolutely I would spend the most time possible with the car before buying
    2
  11496. Toyota produces millions of cars yearly. It’s not really possible to bench test every single engine to reach its break in period. Cars would be a lot more expensive if this was the case. They perhaps run them shortly to make sure everything is good if that.
    2
  11497. Hi! No worries. At your earliest convenience consider a break in oil change and every will be good
    2
  11498. Hi daniel. I’ve actually recently went through this with a customer at work. Go with 35 psi. That is the correct inflation pressure.
    2
  11499. Sorry I thought it was a hybrid. Let’s do this. Check the back brakes for seizing. Just lift each tire off the ground and spin it. They should spin freely if not. I’d take the brakes apart and clean them and make sure they’re free
    2
  11500. Hi! Many factors play into gas mileage. One of them is tires and their condition. Also if the brakes are sticking. Another thing is the overall health of the battery. It could be perfectly fine but just starting to degrade slightly. Or if the cooling system is not able to keep up like a clogged filter or fan
    2
  11501. Hi Tony. I haven't seen any tundras in the shop for transmission high temperature issues or any transmission issues honestly.
    2
  11502. Hi! If you don’t drive the car much I would do the maintenance by time. And read in your maintenance guide at the bottom of each mileage service it will list special operating conditions. If any of these conditions apply to your driving I would recommend you follow the recommendations as well for additional maintenance
    2
  11503. They do sometimes but in the case of new cars some of them come with very high pressure in the tires to prevent flat spots and the dealership is supposed to lower them. Of course that is missed when the mechanic decides not to their job...
    2
  11504. Engines are not broken in at the factory. If that’s the case there wouldn’t be a clear break in period instructions in the owners manual.
    2
  11505. Hi! A break in oil change at 1000 miles would help a lot
    2
  11506. Hi! It’s hard to diagnose an issue like this without inspecting it in person. Since you have another similar car and it’s not the same I would bring it to a different dealership or call Toyota directly if all dealerships ignore the issue
    2
  11507. Hi! They are the same. Hybrids turn off their engine but it’s still the same interval and time
    2
  11508. Hi! If you take it on a longer drive every few days that would help a lot
    2
  11509. Unleaded regular gas from a top tier gas station
    2
  11510. Hi! I would change the oil earlier
    2
  11511. Yes it does. Listed in all new Toyota owners manual.
    2
  11512. Hi! It was one of the livestreams! If you have a 2020 and up corolla only not all models
    2
  11513. Hi! Take it easy going up hill. Try not to accelerate hard going up a hill for the first 500-1000 miles
    2
  11514. The size specifications are not really published. Each car has a specific part no which fits that car
    2
  11515. So any pad that’s aftermarket that’s designed for your car will fit for sure. I would do research on pad brands and see what works best for your budget. Personally I would go with original value pads as they are not expensive and they are very good quality.
    2
  11516. Hi! You can look through the wheels and estimate the life of pads.
    2
  11517. Yeah they are. Actually the new Supra so far has been reliable but they are also too new to tell. Current issues with them are battery related from storage and some small oil leaks here and there. I don’t really have experience with other males and that’s the only sports car that Toyota makes under the Toyota badge.
    2
  11518. Thank you Christian! Brakes are easy to do on most cars and usually one of the first DIY projects after basic maintenance. When done right you can save yourself a good chunk of change doing it yourself!
    2
  11519. I would use an AGM as it sits in the trunk and needs to be side vented. Shop around you can get them for a decent price. I wouldn’t even bother with the dealership on this one I think it’s like 400 bucks!!
    2
  11520. Hi Ahmad! I agree! I misplaced mine at home and ended “borrowing” the one from the car 😂 hope you’re doing well my brother.
    2
  11521. Then you have rear drums I wouldn’t replace them just clean and adjust the rears and you’re good to go
    2
  11522. Hi! The noise will need diagnosis could be lack or lubrication. And if he insists on the 5 quarts you need a new mechanic. On hybrids you don’t want to overfill them.
    2
  11523. Congratulations on your Lexus! That’s a nice car! The brakes are pretty straight forward on your car. Get that piston compressor or something similar as that car has 2 piston calipers and that tool makes it very easy to compress! Rest of the series comes out Friday and Saturday!
    2
  11524. Hi! I am assuming this is a hybrid model. You can replace the brake fluid normally just use a vacuum bleeder and do not press the brake pedal, turn the key on or open the drivers door and everything should be good
    2
  11525. Hi Gary! Thank you for watching my channel! So I would go oem pads abs aftermarket rotors but first I would compare prices because it might not be much of a difference. On the Tacoma you’ll have a slight different setup on the caliper nothing difficult. Make sure if you live in the rust belt to clean the pins that hold the pads.
    2
  11526. Hi! You can but I would prefer you take things apart and make sure everything is moving
    2
  11527. So your car will have the pins in the front brakes but none in the rear.
    2
  11528. Hi Michael. Thank you for watching my video. So some cars will not have the pins on the rear or front. If you let me know the model and year I can let you know if it comes with the pins or not.
    2
  11529. To pressure bleed for fluid replacement you don’t.
    2
  11530. C clamps work only thing is you gotta be careful not to tighten it too fast as you could roll the caliper seal.
    2
  11531. Hi! I would get that boot replaced as it will let debris get inside and seize the caliper and you’ll need the special tool to push these in as they are screw in type.
    2
  11532. I would shop around. Sometimes the original brakes and especially the value pads from Toyota are the same price as original. Aftermarket is good as well just read reviews to know what’s good I really don’t have that much experience with aftermarket pads. Also either transfer the shims or save them don’t toss them out in case you change your mind in the future.
    2
  11533. Thanks Ahmad! Many similar videos planned!
    2
  11534. Hi! If they go below minimum thickness or have excessive grooving or rust otherwise resurface and reuse
    2
  11535. Not really. And if you do you can manually bleed them afterwards
    2
  11536. Yes. They are similar. One pushes the fluid out one pulls it out.
    2
  11537. Hi! My schedule is all over the place at the moment. If you’re not in a rush give me a bit of time. Send me an email with the subject Chicago service request and I’ll try my best to get back to you in a timely fashion. Trying to wrap up everything with the shop and should resume normal schedule in a couple of weeks.
    2
  11538. None at the moment. You’re better off ordering one and waiting.
    2
  11539. Hi! Hard to put it in miles because it depends on use. But generally if the conditions are ideal you can resurface the rotors possibly twice
    2
  11540. Hi! It would be counter productive. The heater would consume too much and reduce the range
    2
  11541. That’s normal for the ac compressor engaging and disengaging.
    2
  11542. Hi! Is it a single tick or continuous?
    2
  11543. Hi! It does but not using the heat pump system. It has an electric heater in the battery
    2
  11544. Do you remember when AC was a dealer installed option? Guess they can’t do that with the RAV4 prime 😂
    2
  11545. Hi! It’s not something that’s readily available oem.
    2
  11546. Hi! Larger capacity battery
    2
  11547. Yep shocked me too! I don’t see the point of the TRD sport as it’s almost a limited model without the limited options? I wish they would’ve made a limited without XREAS. And then the corolla cross is another one just like the CHR without AWD
    2
  11548. Hi! It does struggle a bit unlike the V6
    2
  11549. Hi! It’s affecting all Toyota models
    2
  11550. You might have to lower it a bit to gain access to it
    2
  11551. I’m not sure if it comes as a serviceable part I’d have to look. Usually if you can spin it and slightly move it up and down its good
    2
  11552. Hi! It should be underneath the back seat
    2
  11553. It’s in stock at the dealership where I work.
    2
  11554. Hi! It shouldn’t be an issue to drive it 80 miles home. Take it easy on the drive home which most folks do anyways with their new car. Congratulations on your purchase!
    2
  11555. Hi! The intelligent tester is old and only works on older models
    2
  11556. Hi! No need to bleed it regularly unless you’re changing the fluid
    2
  11557. Hi! In hybrids you want to avoid using neutral when possible. Try not to stay in neutral past 10 minutes
    2
  11558. Hi! Likely not the engine itself. Could have some oil in the intake but this engine that you have does have a very good oil separator so oil in the intake would be minimal. If you don’t have any issues with the engine running you’re likely good
    2
  11559. Hi! Trees can damage the appearances of cars but not function. If possible park it in the shade and plan to clean the exterior regularly. But if it’s not possible it will be ok. Maybe crack a window open slightly to let some air circulate
    2
  11560. Still trying to get one to film with. It’s underneath the back seat
    2
  11561. Hi! There’s 2 tabs to remove the top filter housing and replace the filter
    2
  11562. Honestly no. It’s all plastic
    2
  11563. Interesting. They do have a ring that holds the sensor separate from the sensor itself. Perhaps some of the clips on that ring is broken
    2
  11564. Congratulations on your sienna purchase!
    2
  11565. Hi! Not yet, I’ll get one in the future
    2
  11566. 😂 no that was before.
    2
  11567. The battery that it has is massive! Easily double the size of your normal car but still
    2
  11568. Hi! Not really but they usually other techs don’t like to work on them because they’re completely different
    2
  11569. Yes in the near future
    2
  11570. Hi! Once more information is available I’ll release a video on this
    2
  11571. None yet
    2
  11572. It doesn’t chirp between shifts it looses traction if you really push it
    2
  11573. We never argue :-) we’re having a friendly conversation. I hear you and to a point agree with you on BMW reliability. It’s not so much the reliability it’s just the way they do things that make repairs some times ridiculously complicated and expensive for no reason and the same can be said about all German cars. I always wondered if they would’ve just put the V6 from the tundra for example or even the 5.0 from the LC500 with a manual transmission would’ve made it epic. Maybe do develop the chassis with BMW for the handling and go separate ways after that.
    2
  11574. Interesting. Erase the codes and see if they return as that code doesn’t tell us much
    2
  11575. Hi! Is the battery or alternator weak?
    2
  11576. The one in the video is made by a company called lisle. Overpriced honestly and whichever one from Amazon is the same
    2
  11577. Hi! It does have a drain hose but it can get clogged and back up. If you park under trees that accelerates them getting clogged
    2
  11578. Hi! If it’s a good price it’s good piece of mind to have. But with a 4runner things rarely go south honestly.
    2
  11579. Hi! The front recognition camera for the safety systems cannot be used as a dash cam
    2
  11580. Hard to tell but that price is a bit out there.
    2
  11581. It is a key oscillator. That’s why it looks more complicated
    2
  11582. Have them double check the fluid level and reset the memory
    2
  11583. Hi! Disconnecting the battery is a bit tougher on the NX as it’s in the back of the car. Look into either a trickle charger or just get a capacitor type jumper pack. This won’t be an issue in the first years but as the 12v battery gets older it might start to get low after sitting for a long time
    2
  11584. There are jump start points under the hood just like the one in the video
    2
  11585. Hi! You can but the installation needs to be done well. Otherwise it can cause issues
    2
  11586. Hi! If your 12v battery dies on your Venza you can use a portable jumper to jump it
    2
  11587. Ok in this case that’s normal. Sometimes the engine rpm will go up to charge the battery
    2
  11588. Hi! The B mode in your Venza is integrated in the shifter s mode which mimics a manual transmission. You shift up shift and down shift artificially using the + and - while your shifter is in S mode
    2
  11589. Hi! Underneath the front seat
    2
  11590. Hi! Underneath the front seat
    2
  11591. Hi! You can unplug the sensor and that should do iy
    2
  11592. Hi! The battery in hybrids is small but wouldn’t die the next day. It just doesn’t last as much if you leave things on or keep the key on for long. The issues with RAV4s draining batteries is a know. Issue relating to a software update to resolve it
    2
  11593. Hi! It works automatically.
    2
  11594. Hi! Directly behind the back seat
    2
  11595. Hi! That’s a small amount of water that’s getting vacuumed up. I’m referring to spilling a whole bottle of water directly over the battery
    2
  11596. Hi! Unfortunately that model is not sold in my area so I’m not very familiar with them. It’s either in the back behind the rear seats or underneath the front seats
    2
  11597. Honestly it doesn’t make sense to replace one individual cell. Because the rest are the same age and will likely fail shortly after
    2
  11598. Hi! The sienna is under the front seat. And the Camry is under the back seat
    2
  11599. In this case whenever possible don’t fully charge it. If the EV range runs out it will be a regular hybrid which is not an issue.
    2
  11600. Hi! Honestly I’d have to look into this one. Reply to this message and I’ll get back to you
    2
  11601. Yes it is. Here’s a video I made with a corolla showing how the battery looks like https://youtu.be/SX5Klme59eY
    2
  11602. Unfortunately some hybrids you can’t even roll them. The only way we roll them is using a gojak car dolly. It’s very easy to lift the driving wheels then you can roll it and steer it. Look into it as it really come in handy. I see our tow truck driver has 4 of them and he loves them.
    2
  11603. Hi! It should be able to handle cold temperatures perhaps consider a block heater which might be normally used in your area
    2
  11604. Hi! Yes
    2
  11605. Hi! It’s not ideal but shouldn’t have a major effect as long as the ac is used when the car is running
    2
  11606. Hi! Codes would need to be pulled to see what’s going on
    2
  11607. Hi! If it doesn’t blow the fuse of the outlet you’re good
    2
  11608. Thank you for watching my videos! Honestly the Venza and RAV4 reliability wise is identical because underneath the body they’re identical cars. Same hybrid system platform and most of the electronics are the same. It really comes down to which on you like most looks and size wise.
    2
  11609. Underneath the back seat
    2
  11610. Hi! I am not familiar with the is300h as it’s not sold in my country. I will do research on it and possibly do a video
    2
  11611. Hi! Underneath the back seat
    2
  11612. I wouldn’t advise modifying the pcv system. And most of the newer hybrids have an oil separator anyway.
    2
  11613. Hi! It’s underneath the back seat
    2
  11614. Hi! That is normal for hybrids. They idle higher than normal gasoline engines. The theory is higher rpm will flow oil faster and warm up the engine quicker.
    2
  11615. Hi Eric. So when the ready light is on the hybrid system is on. When the ready light is off the 12v battery is being costumed. The ignition on position is used for the light check and many other functions some of them for diagnosis and programming. In that position all the computers are on and working but the car is not on
    2
  11616. Hi Eric! Thank you for watching my videos! So on your highlander the battery will be underneath the back seat a bit to the back of the 2nd row back seats. Running the accessories without the car being ready on could kill the 12v battery in a faster time than your conventional car, however having the car running the or ready on when parked is totally ok.
    2
  11617. If it’s in good shape with good maintenance yes
    2
  11618. Hi! It’s directly behind the rear seat
    2
  11619. What’s your budget?
    2
  11620. Hi! Underneath the back seat
    2
  11621. I would. The Prius c is a good car. Very basic and small but a good hybrid indeed.
    2
  11622. It doesn’t have an electric oil pump. It’s usually primed from running on and off and stays primed for some time.
    2
  11623. Hi! You can charge the 12v battery normally but the hybrid battery requires a specialized charger that is expensive and typical you don’t need to charge it
    2
  11624. Yes it is underneath the back seat
    2
  11625. Hi! Underneath the back seat
    2
  11626. Hi! I wouldn’t do that as that would cause damage and cause the car to run poorly. Max ethanol allowed is 10%
    2
  11627. Hi! The 12v battery powers up the computers which then close the circuit of the high voltage battery. I did a series explaining how hybrids work which will go into mode details find it here https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeFzfl0Q8rQUgJLQheNbttBtKT6iSOX4D
    2
  11628. The problem is the motor in the rear differential or hybrid transaxle that could spin.
    2
  11629. AWD toyotas are best towed with all 4 wheels off the ground.
    2
  11630. Hi! That would have to be an aftermarket add in and wiring it in might be difficult
    2
  11631. It is underneath. It’s a large low profile battery.
    2
  11632. Thank you for watching! The battery is located underneath the 2nd row seats a bit towards the back.
    2
  11633. Hi! Underneath the front seats.
    2
  11634. Thank you for watching my video! It’s located underneath the back seat exactly the same location as the one in the video.
    2
  11635. It is underneath the captain chairs. The battery is big but not high on the highlander so it would fit
    2
  11636. Hi Alan. Some models will have very little variance. When the engine is fully warmed after after a long drive, shut it off and wait for 1 minute then check it. If it’s at the full line you’re all set and have nothing to worry about. Most dealerships get it perfect because they know better. Some don’t get it right. Doesn’t hurt to check and is a good habit that I encourage you to do.
    2
  11637. Hi! For the RAV4 PHEV it’s underneath the car on the outside by the drivers rear door area
    2
  11638. Hi! The battery on the 2021 sienna is located underneath the front seats.
    2
  11639. Hi! Underneath the back seat
    2
  11640. Behind the back seat. Here’s a video that would show you how it looks https://youtu.be/0vwgmIsAefY
    2
  11641. A space saver would resolve these issues
    2
  11642. Hi! The battery is behind the back seat
    2
  11643. Hi! Yes there are differences between the versions. You wanted to buy the correct one for your car.
    2
  11644. Hi! It’s underneath the front seats.
    2
  11645. Yes. There’s a software update for the DCM to resolve this issue.
    2
  11646. Hi! There might be a software update to resolve the issue. Contact your dealership and you can charge the battery directly at it in the back
    2
  11647. Hi! No issues undercoating hybrids
    2
  11648. Hi! It’s underneath the back seat. Towing is rated up to 1500lbs. The dealership wouldn’t do something to change the programming as they are not able to. The eCVT is very reliable and likely will last the life of the car without issues
    2
  11649. The seat bottom pops off very easily. The back is not very hard but a bit more involved
    2
  11650. Hi! Usually basic maintenance doesn’t need specialized training as they are similar to hybrid models. However any repairs I would ask for a prime trained technician. Most dealerships that sell them are required to have at least one technician.
    2
  11651. I would check the overall condition of the car. Check the fan filter which is located underneath the back seat to determine if it’s clogged or clean.
    2
  11652. That’s ok. So with hybrids you want to stay in drive at stop lights. Try avoiding neutral for more than 15-20 minutes. In a car wash situation neutral is ok since that’s less than 15/20 minutes.
    2
  11653. Then you’re all good. If it was too much the fuse would open. If it’s working fine then you have nothing to worry about.
    2
  11654. So when you’re still in drive with your foot on the brake pedal. Keep your foot on the brake pedal then go into neutral then pull the parking brake button then let go of the brakes once it engages then put the car in park
    2
  11655. Yes that’s correct
    2
  11656. Hi! You should be ok parking on an incline just make sure you stop the car by the parking brake not the transmission. Also you’re good to let it idle most of the times the engine will shut off anyway.
    2
  11657. Hi! They are both equally reliable. The overall cost of maintenance for the lx570 will be a bit less because it has no timing belt. And the lx470 is harder to find with low miles
    2
  11658. Hi! Anything is possible to do. But doing that requires significant modifications to the car and the hybrid systems software which at that point it will be extremely costly and likely the results are not worth the investment.
    2
  11659. Hi! They’re located underneath the 2nd row seats a bit to the back of the seat. Large amount of Water over the floor of the 3rd row seat area would be a problem.
    2
  11660. Hi! It might have remote start already
    2
  11661. 2021 Toyota Venza
    2
  11662. Depends on their setup. If they don’t have a starter then yes you can
    2
  11663. Hi! Thank you for watching my video! The battery level will vary which is normal. Honestly through normal driving you will rarely see it at full bars. It will go up and down as you drive which is normal
    2
  11664. Hi! On the floor likely it’s not an issue but you’ll want to get to at water dried from underneath carpet
    2
  11665. Hi! I would have it checked to be on the safe side
    2
  11666. When going down hill use it as much as you need without time limitations. My point is not to use it every single day for years at a time.
    2
  11667. A 2019 RAV4 non hybrid wouldn’t have this system so no restrictions on the fuel door.
    2
  11668. Hi! You can buy one from a reputable company
    2
  11669. Hi! Underneath the back seat
    2
  11670. Hi! Yes underneath the back seat
    2
  11671. Yes it is a 2021 venza
    2
  11672. Thank you for watching my video! And you guessed it right! They are both equally reliable as they share a lot of the same. The RAV4 hybrid had a few wrinkles that are resolved now. The highlander has been solid with no issues at all. Both of these cars can make it to 200k but the maintenance is what usually lets them down. Keep up the maintenance and you’ll have no issues reaching 200k
    2
  11673. Thank you for watching my video! On your highlander there are 2 small doors that pop open on each vent showing 2 10mm screws take them out and the vent comes out
    2
  11674. Hi! Underneath the back seat. I featured the battery from a corolla in this video if you want to see it https://youtu.be/SX5Klme59eY
    2
  11675. Hi! You can jump start your Prius from any other car. Just don’t jump start another non hybrid car from your Prius.
    2
  11676. Yes they’re safe to use
    2
  11677. Unfortunately we don’t have the Yaris in the US take a picture and email it to me so I can take a look of what design it is and help further
    2
  11678. I wouldn’t use a battery maintainer there. I would go directly at the battery.
    2
  11679. Underneath the front seat
    2
  11680. Hi! A battery maintainer is a small charger that’s designed to keep a 12v battery healthy while the car is parked for a long time without use
    2
  11681. Hi! The cold weather does affect batteries but not as much as hot weather. If the car is left not driven for long a battery maintainer would be good to use on the 12v battery. Perhaps on the 2A setting for a slow charge and 10A for a quicker charger
    2
  11682. Hi! It’s actually just behind the back seat
    2
  11683. Hi! Disconnect the 12v battery. The hybrid battery is automatically disconnected every time you shut off the car.
    2
  11684. Yes it’s the same, underneath the back seat
    2
  11685. Hi! You can jump start the 12v battery on a hybrid but not the high voltage battery itself. I’ll make a video in the future
    2
  11686. You can do that just make sure the vent for the fan is not covered so the battery fan can intake air without restrictions
    2
  11687. Hi! Jump starting your hybrid from another car is ok. Just not the opposite.
    2
  11688. Yes you can
    2
  11689. Hi! It wouldn’t as long as the car doesn’t flood.
    2
  11690. Hi! Honestly this will need an in person diagnosis that’s difficult in this format
    2
  11691. Hi mike. A catch can will not harm anything honestly. The oil separator does a good job but overfill these engines high enough and even the catch can and the oil separator won’t help
    2
  11692. Hard to tell. Perhaps it was overfilled with gas or the driving style. There’s no question of a doubt that a corolla hybrid gets very impressive gas mileage.
    2
  11693. Hi! Anything else change? Perhaps a weather change?
    2
  11694. Hi! Underneath the back seat
    2
  11695. Not really. Sometimes it will set codes and you’ll get warning lights. But usually you’ll notice the lights dim a lot when you ready the car on. I would have the battery tested yearly to know it’s health and then expect it not to last past 5 years reliably.
    2
  11696. Hi! They don’t have I joints but still have axles. I would get it checked
    2
  11697. Hi! Ask the dealership to correct the coolant level and check the filter every few months
    2
  11698. Hi! The oil consumption in your Prius is a known issue. Unfortunately it will need pistons and rings that are updated to resolve the issue
    2
  11699. Hi! Underneath the back seat
    2
  11700. Hi!on hybrids the inverter with converter assembly takes up additional space in the engine bay.
    2
  11701. If everything is working well don’t worry.
    2
  11702. Hi! If it’s HID headlights and 2nd gen they were known for bulbs being an issue
    2
  11703. Hi! Not very familiar with your model as the IS was not sold in the US. However looking as some documents I found here it looks like directly behind the back seat
    2
  11704. Thank you for watching. Honestly I don’t have much experience with honda.
    2
  11705. If you’re in the US new cars come with road side assistance. Call the dealership in the morning tell them you’re worried about safety and don’t feel comfortable driving it they’ll tow it and make sure everything is good
    2
  11706. Hi! The message is a safety feature to prevent unintended acceleration however if the brakes are not working properly to stop the car that needs to be checked by the dealership since likely it’s still under warranty.
    2
  11707. S is a varied B mode used for going down a hill so you can artificially downshift the car
    2
  11708. You cann
    2
  11709. Hi! Hybrids don’t have a starter so they don’t need a large and strong battery that’s capable of operating a starter. So they usually have a small 12v battery that doesn’t take much to kill. Some people with care can get it over the 5 year mark but they become unreliable as they get to the 5 year mark. Leave the radio on with the car off for a little bit when they’re a few years old and it’s dead.
    2
  11710. It can work this way.
    2
  11711. Hi! Daily driving but for short distances should be ok. Long term storage that’s repeated is what’s not good. I would however consider extra maintenance for the car per the maintenance manual as repeated short trips is considered special operating conditions. When you get the car read the maintenance guide closely and follow it and you should have this car for a long time.
    2
  11712. Hi! Without retrieving codes it’s hard to say but what you described could be the hybrid system in limited performance mode which could be caused by a lot of things one of them is a failed high voltage battery
    2
  11713. Hi! Underneath the front seats
    2
  11714. Hi! cold weather tire condition...etc does affect gas mileage
    2
  11715. Hi! The battery is under the back seat. There are 3 vents underneath the back seat which have a built in mesh filter
    2
  11716. Hi! There’s a software update for the DCM that would resolve this issue.
    2
  11717. You could but then you are blocking the battery heat in and that could cause overheating. I wouldn’t add anything to the design
    2
  11718. You can jump start any car including hybrids just don’t use a hybrid to jump start a conventional non hybrid car
    2
  11719. Hi Jose. A catch can on that engine doesn’t do much as the engine already has an oil separator. Towing 1600 exceeds the towing capacity of 1000 and is not advised.
    2
  11720. It likely wouldn’t damage the car.
    2
  11721. Interesting. I wouldn’t
    2
  11722. Not really. It’s all post cat so you’re good. As a side note the 4 tips are actually fake. Only 2 tips have the exhaust the other 2 one on each side is fake.
    2
  11723. Anything is possible by the cost to do it right is very high.
    2
  11724. Yes
    2
  11725. Yes it does! The three vents underneath the back seat has a build in mesh filter on each of the 3 vents
    2
  11726. Hi! Yes you can
    2
  11727. Hi! The hybrid battery won’t run low as long as the car is ready on in park when stopped. The 12v battery isn’t being used when the car is ready on so it won’t have an issue in camping yse
    2
  11728. Hi! You’ll need to activate the fuel pump and disconnect the fuel line to drain it.
    2
  11729. Drain as much as possible and fill it. You might get a slight period of low performance and even check engine light but eventually it will pass. E85 is a lot better than having diesel which would ruin a lot of things.
    2
  11730. Hi! The battery is located underneath the 2nd row seat a bit towards the back. I would modify it into a plug in. Too much work and cost for not really great results.
    2
  11731. Hi! I have not seen cases yet but have heard of this
    2
  11732. Hi! It’s directly behind the rear seat
    2
  11733. Hi! Underneath the back seat
    2
  11734. Hi! The car is programmed for a panic stop. If you press and hold the start button it will shut off. But that could be dangerous to shut off the car at higher speeds. If you just place the car in neutral and coast to a stop then turn it off.
    2
  11735. Hi! The jump start pack can be connected at the jump points under the hood as needed.
    2
  11736. Thank you for watching. On your prime the battery is underneath the shelf of the hatch. So when you open the back door it will be directly under the floor in that area.
    2
  11737. Captains chairs. The battery is underneath them so the opening between them has the battery underneath it.
    2
  11738. Underneath the 2nd row seats a bit towards the back of the 2nd row
    2
  11739. No drive belt on your 18 Prius
    2
  11740. You can. But just know that repeatedly doing this could cause issues. The battery you are trying to charge up, if it’s the same capacity as the original battery then it’s ok but most gasoline cars have a bigger battery
    2
  11741. Hi! Likely no damage occurred but try to avoid jumping other cars from your hybrid
    2
  11742. They’re identical honestly.
    2
  11743. Hi! Still in the same place
    2
  11744. Hi! Underneath the back seat just like the one in the video. The car in the video is a 2021 Venza
    2
  11745. Thank you for watching my videos! Honestly I wouldn’t do that. Brakes in hybrids will last a very long time due to the big help of regenerative braking.
    2
  11746. If you have an external battery for the dash cam you are not intruding on the cars battery even when it’s low
    2
  11747. Hi! I always recommend you use external battery when using a dash cam in parking mode. However they use little energy and they usually have a low battery protection so it should be ok.
    2
  11748. Hi Michelle! It’s located behind your back seats in the hatch area.
    2
  11749. Hi! Your battery is behind the back seats and the vent is located on the back seat on the drivers side
    2
  11750. Hi! Depends on what you plan with this car. Unless it was really taken care of the battery might need replacement at some point
    2
  11751. Hi! Underneath the back seat
    2
  11752. I would push the issue and just pay for the oil change. It’s usually around 50-60 bucks to change the engine oil and filter
    2
  11753. Hi! So the battery in your xle is nickel metal and it’s underneath the back seat. Having sat is not an issue for the hybrid battery as it’s new but an oil change is recommended as it’s 2 year old oil.
    2
  11754. Hi! It’s good in cold weather. Just don’t leave it parked with driving for over a month in super cold weather and you should have no issues
    2
  11755. Thank you for your comment. The only instructions in the owners manual is for jump starting your car if the battery is discharged. US standard owners manual 2016 RAV4 HV page 581. Which page and market RAV4 did you read about instructions to jump start another car from your hybrid?
    2
  11756. Hi! It would be underneath the back seat and it does have a filter than needs cleaning.
    2
  11757. Hi! No the new tundra hybrid is different as it doesn’t have an eCVT
    2
  11758. It’s good don’t worry. That engine has an oil separator which significantly protects against oil in the intake
    2
  11759. Hi! Which model?
    2
  11760. Batteries can deplete while in transit or at the dealership. No issues related to the DCM on R4P yet. But that’s a common issue on the gasoline and hybrid models with the battery depleting needing a software update to fix it
    2
  11761. Hi! The battery it the RAV4 prime is heavily insulated and covered because it’s designed to be outside the car so no worries there. And the 12v battery is in the back in the hatch area.
    2
  11762. Hi! Here’s a video that I made for that model https://youtu.be/gjGLG6jg-Mk
    2
  11763. Hi! It’s underneath the back seat
    2
  11764. Hi! Toyota in the US didn’t have a hybrid model until later years in that generation. But in that generation it’s underneath the back seat
    2
  11765. Still testing will have a review soon
    2
  11766. Hi! Yes you can up to 1500 watt
    2
  11767. Not the same in hybrids.
    2
  11768. Toyota and Subaru are different but they are connected. Thank you for watching my video!
    2
  11769. Lol wrote it quick and didn’t notice. The lights on the car would dim a lot when you start the car indicating a weak battery
    2
  11770. Hi! 1500 watt sound about the most I would use
    2
  11771. Hi! Ideally you’d want to connect it direct to the battery
    2
  11772. Hi! I would yes
    2
  11773. Hi! First you need to be a trained Toyota technician without hybrid training. Then your dealership will send you to Toyota hybrid training.
    2
  11774. Hi! There’s a known issue that is fixed with a software update. Take it to the dealership and have them take care of it
    2
  11775. Hi! Too early to tell for the tundra
    2
  11776. When you’re in ACC you are using the 12v battery. If the ready light is not on, the HV battery is not supplying power.
    2
  11777. I usually recommend to give the car a few minutes to warm up before driving. Especially in cold weather
    2
  11778. Hi! They’ll always say that because you’re in EV mode basically saying you have infinite miles per gallon because you’re not using any gasoline.
    2
  11779. It’s all the way in the back storage area
    2
  11780. They hold up good for the mileage and age. Unless they’re overheated. Yes your range drops gradually but I wouldn’t be upset if that happens after 15 years and 200+k miles
    2
  11781. Hi! Consult your owners manual. There are jump spots under the hood in the fuse block. The battery is in the back but you can’t open the back door with a dead battery
    2
  11782. I wouldn’t.
    2
  11783. You can but for a very short period of time. Any long charges I would do directly at the battery.
    2
  11784. I reviewed one of the capacitor style ones on the channel. Here’s a link for the review https://youtu.be/2c5EvrZ-Cko
    2
  11785. Directly behind the rear seat.
    2
  11786. Hi! No it’s still just behind the 2nd row seat
    2
  11787. Yes that is ok.
    2
  11788. Underneath the back seat
    2
  11789. Hi! That is overfilled. I would ask them to correct the level. It should be at the full mark when it’s hot
    2
  11790. Hi! So the RAV4 hybrid battery is inside the car. So as long as you don’t get water inside the car you’re good. The prime has the battery outside but it’s heavily guarded and insulated for regular water from rain and wash.
    2
  11791. Hi! I would take it back to the same dealership. Some of these intermittent issues can be difficult to diagnose and you’d want the same person to look at it.
    2
  11792. Hi! You can upgrade the sound system just don’t go overboard with it! And don’t use b mode for acceleration as it’s meant for engine braking when going down hil
    2
  11793. Hi! If the ready sign is on which means the car is running the engine will cycle on and off to recharge the battery so it won’t run flat
    2
  11794. Hi! Yes it will work
    2
  11795. Thank you for watching my videos! It might be the precise moment of the switch. Do you notice any other lights flashing like traction control?
    2
  11796. It’s a 2008 for some reason 2010 stuck in my head when we did the video
    2
  11797. Hi! Make sure the battery is not overheating
    2
  11798. It can happen where the transmission is damaged but you’d know immediately. When turning there would be noise
    2
  11799. I would keep your 13 for now honestly.
    2
  11800. That is normal condensate from the AC
    2
  11801. Hi! 2010-2011 Camry models are ok but rarely taken care of and the 4 cylinder model can develop a very bad oil burning problem from the 10k oil change interval. 2012-2014 are very good but 2015-2017 is better
    2
  11802. Good car I’d say
    2
  11803. Working on that. We’re working on a new camera rig for more videos like this one
    2
  11804. Hi! Yes your Prius will have an actual filter not a mesh. Your filters part number is G92DH-47070
    2
  11805. You could use 5w20. Most Toyota dealerships don’t carry 5w30 anymore perhaps that’s why
    2
  11806. Hi! It should be in the owners manual as well.
    2
  11807. It wouldn’t hurt to do that.
    2
  11808. Hi! I hear good things about the Kirkland brand oil
    2
  11809. It does.
    2
  11810. Hi! 0w20. Personally I like toyota branded oil or Mobil 1
    2
  11811. Hi! Conventional is ok for your car. If you want to go synthetic use something like Mobil 1
    2
  11812. Yes I would do 5k oil changes
    2
  11813. It’s a great truck! Just undercoat if you live in the rust belt
    2
  11814. Hi! Many good companies out there for upgraded lights. Ones that I know and have tried are vleds.com and xenondepot.com
    2
  11815. Hi! They usually last a good amount of time and they are replaceable separate from the shaft. I’d expect at least 100-150k miles or more
    2
  11816. Hi! The engine in your rav4 can make a very brief noise on Startup. That could be normal. To be sure could you record a video of a cold start up so I can take a listen?
    2
  11817. Hi! I would buy the oil filter from the dealership honestly.
    2
  11818. No problems as long as it’s a genuine TRD filter
    2
  11819. If you can’t find it at all then 0w20 is your next option if your manual specifically says 0w16 only
    2
  11820. If it’s the first time replacement it’s actually glued on. The replacement clips on to the round housing. You’ll want to pick only the mesh up. Otherwise just vacuum the mesh out and you’re good to go
    2
  11821. It’s located underneath the back seat. You’ll see a round vent that’s where the hybrid filter is
    2
  11822. I understand the issue. Since you're driving a lot and likely will be replacing the oil every month and a half I would go the 10K but make sure you don't exceed that mileage as much as possible.
    2
  11823. I would replace it with a new original one.
    2
  11824. Hi! I would remove the front valve cover for inspection of sludge first before investing anything else. If it’s good then I’d make sure you got a good replacement sensor. Also check for exhaust leaks even the smallest one. And it wouldn’t hurt to change the pcv valve very cheap and takes 2 minutes to change
    2
  11825. Hi! Shouldn’t be an issue.
    2
  11826. I would get one from the dealership. Your filter is the A1 style if it’s a v6 or D3 style if it’s a 4 cylinder
    2
  11827. Hi! I would stay with 0w20 honestly.
    2
  11828. Hi! Toyota stopped making the awesome paper repair manual it’s all digital now and you print what you need. If you want access to the digital one you can do so at techinfo.toyota.com for a fee.
    2
  11829. Hi! Need to use a capable scan tool to reset or techstream
    2
  11830. Hi! Typically turbo engines don’t need special oil. Just what the manufacturer recommend.
    2
  11831. Hi! A small amount like that should be ok as long as it’s not repeated.
    2
  11832. Hi! Follow the oil recommended in the owners manual
    2
  11833. Hi! If you have had a Toyota dealership do most of the maintenance on your car and you are satisfied with their service and prices I would continue to do so. If you have bad experiences with them I would look elsewhere. Regardless if it’s a dealership or not, if the mechanic that’s working on your car is good and trustworthy I would stay with them.
    2
  11834. Hi! It can help but I wouldn’t go higher than 5w30
    2
  11835. For that engine I would use 5w20 or 5w30 for your climate
    2
  11836. Hi! Which model and year?
    2
  11837. You got it! Thank you for watching my videos!
    2
  11838. I wouldn’t be worried. I highly encourage you to consider 5000 mile intervals unless you do a lot of highway driving and put 10k miles in way less than 6 months
    2
  11839. haseeb siddiq I would still change it every 6 months
    2
  11840. In this case you’re good for the annual service
    2
  11841. Hi! At 60k miles or 6 years whichever comes first
    2
  11842. Is there a sticker on the plastics under the hood?
    2
  11843. I would follow your manual. Driving conditions vary from country to country and 5000kms is actually even better than 8000kms.
    2
  11844. Hi! Compressed air from the hose side out works better than the pin. The pin will work but it does damage the nozzle where that fine mist spray pattern is distorted
    2
  11845. Jay Allen Limhanchiong I hear you! May the lord bless you and keep you my brother! Let me know if you have any questions
    2
  11846. Amen my brother! The lord is at the center of everything in my life! I would go with the 5000 mile service or roughly 7500 km for Canada. If you plan to keep this car long I’d stick with that regardless of what the dealership says. You will have no issues down the road.
    2
  11847. Thank you! It is my channels mission to help people! Yes all hybrid models will have fan vents. In your car it will be underneath the back seats which is where the hybrid battery resides. The 10k service includes an oil change, tire rotation , charcoal cabin filter replacement(your car has one from the factory so needs to be replaced every year otherwise switch to the regular paper filter) regarding the retorque of the chassis bolts I’ve never seen a Toyota that ever needed a chassis bolt adjustment usually they’re perfect. Email me separately and I’ll supply torque specifications if you’d like to double check the sub frame bolts.
    2
  11848. You can mark the drain plug and filter then recheck them
    2
  11849. I would use 5w20 in this case
    2
  11850. Hi! Yes you’re good to use synthetic oil
    2
  11851. You’re welcome!
    2
  11852. Likely 5W20 conventional oil
    2
  11853. Hi! You will need to buy 7 quarts of 0w20 oil. You can buy from the dealership.
    2
  11854. If you change the oil viscosity it will help a bit. But I would look into an oil system cleaning solution. This might be help a lot and actually it might remedy the issue completely. The rate of consumption that you have is not bad at all. I see them burning 2.5 quarts every 1000 miles.
    2
  11855. Thank you for watching my videos! Best luck with the runner hopefully everything goes well.
    2
  11856. Hi! If it says 5w30 on the sticker and the manual then use it
    2
  11857. Hi! On the engine you have 5w30 is ok but 0w20 is proffered for fuel economy
    2
  11858. Hi! They shouldn’t laugh. But likely will ask you to pay for the oil change at 5k and the rest of the service is covered
    2
  11859. Gen 2 Prius was not equipped with one from the factory. However Toyota changed this by making a filter that you can add to the car. It simply clips onto the intake vent and is very easy. However id recommend manually removing the hv battery fan and cleaning it as it will likely be dirty and not cooling ok at this age.
    2
  11860. No worries! I get your point. With Toyota land good maintenance using oem filters shouldn’t give you any issues.
    2
  11861. I don’t have a published number from Toyota that I can share honestly.
    2
  11862. Hi! The filter is A1. Toyota engines have been seen in shops running 300-400k miles using original filters since day one. I take that test as a success and a real world test over lab flow tests.
    2
  11863. Hi! Every 60-90k miles replace the transmission fluid on your hybrid. I have a video for how to do that yourself it’s not hard
    2
  11864. I don’t have that information on the filters. But aftermarket filters claim wonders but the filter that come from the factory is designed to be more than sufficient for the engine.
    2
  11865. If it’s not in your budget then I suppose you have no choice. Make sure quality oil is used and to help things along avoid repeated short trips of less than 5 kms.
    2
  11866. Hi! The light comes on every 5000 miles. Maybe it was not reset
    2
  11867. Hi! Through the Toyota care plan it has to be 10k miles. If you want to do the oil change every 5k you’d have to pay for it out of pocket.
    2
  11868. Hi! Honestly the debate is large on this but my opinion which is based on real world results from working on these cars is that the original filter does a great job at getting you easily past 300k miles. You just have to change it and the oil on time and you won’t have any issues.
    2
  11869. Hi! For the most part yes
    2
  11870. That year uses regular. You can use regular or upgrade to synthetic. Synthetic oil is better but regular for that car at the correct interval will be good as well.
    2
  11871. Hi! That sounded normal to me. At this mileage honestly not much if the rest of the maintenance is taken care of. Coolant was due in 5 years for the engine and hybrid and spark plugs at 10 years although you can stretch that more usually.
    2
  11872. That is likely an accessory add on
    2
  11873. Hi! I recommend and personally wouldn’t go the 10k or 1 year
    2
  11874. At that price they should’ve changed the oil filter. Check the reciept
    2
  11875. They’re the same
    2
  11876. Hi! Should be 90915-YzZN1
    2
  11877. Hi! I highly advise against it. Amsoil is a very high quality oil but 25k oil change intervals in a Toyota engine is not a good idea at all regardless of how good the oil is
    2
  11878. I’d still change it every 5k 6 months even with synthetic. Engines will last but at a risk of burning oil
    2
  11879. Hi! Of course you can and I actually encourage it
    2
  11880. Hi! First congratulations on your purchase. A break in oil change is not required but recommended if you plan to keep this car very long
    2
  11881. I totally hear you on the hard place of the filter. It would have been nice to make an access door for the filter similar to that of the drain plug on your 4Runner. Also I’m totally with you on dealership messes. Countless times I have to spend a lot of time drilling broken shield bolts because the last guy decided to cross thread the bolt and when I took it off it broke. Don’t understand why is it difficult for “professionals” not to over tighten things and not cross thread bolts.
    2
  11882. Hi! No experience with Napa brand oil. I would use Mobil 1
    2
  11883. Hi! TRD filters are good but the original filter will do a good job as well.

  11884. Hi Bruce! Thank you for watching my video. Honestly my brother if you are keeping this car for a long time (over 5 years ) it would be a great investment to change the oil every 5k miles or 6 months even out of pocket. If you’re only keeping her 5 years you really won’t reap the benefits of the 5k oil changes.
    2
  11885. Honestly I would go 5k 6 months on your corolla hybrid if you’re keeping the car long.
    2
  11886. Hi! Yes you can
    2
  11887. Hi! I don’t like oil analysis for maintenance reasons. If you’ve changed the oil every 5k or 6 months you wouldn’t have any issues. Instead of spending to do the analysis just change the oil.
    2
  11888. That’s a good question. Honestly with modern Toyota’s no break in required or needed. The oil filled from the factory is the same as the bottled oil which they use in a big drum.
    2
  11889. Oil gets diluted with gasoline even if it’s not driven much
    2
  11890. Stephane L. We don’t do cvt flushes, we just replace the fluid drain and fill. I wouldn’t do the filter as it’s not really a serviceable part and is not a fine filter that gets clogged easily kinda like a engine oil pump strainer so I wouldn’t worry about. As far as the fluid as long as you use original fluid from the dealership and follow the fluid level check correctly it shouldn’t be an issue. I will be doing a video to do this in the near future if you want to wait to get another insight on how to do it.
    2
  11891. I would still go with the 5k and more importantly 6 months for hybrids.
    2
  11892. Oh sorry. Didn’t see that part. Although the same applies to the oil filter. They’re good but still don’t justify their cost.
    2
  11893. Hi! In your case 8k should be ok. You rarely if ever do short trips and you should be ok! Stay safe on the road! That’s a lot of miles
    2
  11894. Hi! 90915-YZZN1 for the Camry and YZZA4 for the tundra
    2
  11895. Toyota doesn’t use break in oil but typically you’d want to take it easy the first 500-1000 miles. A video with more details on this is planned and coming in the future.
    2
  11896. I agree.
    2
  11897. Hi! They’re not made by Mobil. Not sure who’s the supplier of filters for Toyota
    2
  11898. Hi! No issues so far
    2
  11899. Hi! Likely 5w30 or 10w30
    2
  11900. Hi! Personally I would stay with the canister.
    2
  11901. It’s a nice car I think. We don’t have that exact model but the closest is the corolla hybrid. Drive the car and see if you like how hybrids drive. You can’t go wrong with a hybrid Toyota if you like them.
    2
  11902. You can clean and reuse them But at their low cost I would just replace them
    2
  11903. If you’ve had the 5w30 and happy with the gas mileage then keep going with it. If you want try the 0w20 and see if the mileage difference is noticeable and decide from there.
    2
  11904. Hi! On the engine on your Lexus 5w30 is acceptable and shouldn't cause issues. The 0W20 will give you slightly better gas mileage that's why it was used. 5W30 will work ok as well. No need to worry.
    2
  11905. Hi! The filter part no is G92DH-47020. Your car was not equipped from the factory but you can add one. No reminder is there to tell you when to clean it
    2
  11906. Frank and Frank Auto Repair thank you! I subbed to your channel as well! Nice content!
    2
  11907. Yes you can part no G92DH-47020
    2
  11908. Hi! Thank you for watching my channel. So I would replace the transmission fluid at this point. Also the coolant does require a specific bleeding procedure which I am planning to do a video on soon
    2
  11909. No need to stop for cooling. Just vary the speed of the engine as much as possible and consider a break in oil change and you’re all good.
    2
  11910. I would change it
    2
  11911. Hi! It won’t kill the warranty if you change it yourself using good oil and an original filter
    2
  11912. Hi! I personally would do the 1k oil change
    2
  11913. autumn1231 thank you! I’m glad I could help!
    2
  11914. Honestly this one will be difficult to figure out in this format. I’d need to see and drive the car to know what’s going on.
    2
  11915. Hi! I would check the front lower control arms. Also does it do the same noise on a brake snap?
    2
  11916. That power steering pump is a bear. It’s a tight space and you didn’t get to the worst part which is after you remove it you have to push the bushing in so you can reinstall it and then lining it up is also not fun
    2
  11917. Hi! The oil filter is called F2 from Toyota. I would use original oil filter if you don’t have or know of a trusted aftermarket brand
    2
  11918. Thank you! I’m glad I could help
    2
  11919. Hi! You can use synthetic. But it’s not required. Personally I think the Toyota branded oil is best
    2
  11920. Hi! Yes I do
    2
  11921. I would stay with synthetic. Synthetic oil has benefits over conventional. If the cost difference is not an issue I would keep the synthetic oil.
    2
  11922. Jay Wagner on your prius the transmission fluid is very easy to replace. Similar to a differential just drain and fill until it overflows and you’re good. It uses WS fluid. Usually I recommend them every 60k-90k
    2
  11923. Hi jay! Do you mean the sealed transmission for other models or for your Prius?
    2
  11924. Hi! I would change the transmission fluid coolant and engine oil and call it a day. Also consider replacing the transfer case and differential fluid
    2
  11925. Hi! Even on synthetic oil
    2
  11926. Hi! 0w20 full synthetic
    2
  11927. Hi! If it’s 4 cylinder it will use the F1 if it’s V6 then A1
    2
  11928. Hi! Kirkland oil is good denso is oem supplier
    2
  11929. Hi! There shouldn’t be an issue to switch back
    2
  11930. Hi! Honestly the oem filter does a perfect job filtering the oil. If the oil is changed on time there wouldn’t be an advantage by using the TRD filter. Nothing wrong with the TRD filter it’s just a bit overkill
    2
  11931. Hi! It does underneath the passenger rear seat.
    2
  11932. That is the ideal choice yes
    2
  11933. You can switch no problem on that year Camry.
    2
  11934. Hi! 90915-YZZN1
    2
  11935. Hi! I would use 0w20 full synthetic and change it every 5000 miles
    2
  11936. 0w20 should be good. Especially in your climate
    2
  11937. Hi Gabriel! I would go with the oil that’s recommended by the people who are responsible for the warranty. Unfortunately because it’s a grey import things are different. If you can go with 5w20 which is a medium compromise and a better one. I don’t have a lot of experience with honda to know the ins and outs like toyota
    2
  11938. Hi! It used regular. You can use full synthetic
    2
  11939. Hi! The part number is 90915-YZZN1
    2
  11940. Hi! You can do things yourself as well.
    2
  11941. Hi! 5w30 for your engine
    2
  11942. Personally I would honestly
    2
  11943. I would call the dealership to ask as the maintenance packages vary by dealership
    2
  11944. Hi! I typically don’t like the efi tank additive as it doesn’t do miracles. Top tier fuel is a better idea
    2
  11945. Hi! That’s part of the free maintenance from toyota. I would pay for the oil change
    2
  11946. Yes that is correct
    2
  11947. Hi! Honestly they shouldn’t have an issue doing that as it’s your choice if you’re paying for it
    2
  11948. I would still change it every 5k but technically you don’t fall into the special operating conditions
    2
  11949. Hi! I personally would replace it but likely that driving is all highway correct?
    2
  11950. Hi! It’s possible. Any other codes?
    2
  11951. That’s what I heard on the news and I mentioned that in the video. Something is making those awful people to steal them
    2
  11952. Hi! You can ask your dealership for instructions and they will print them for you. Very simple to install
    2
  11953. Honestly most Toyota dealerships have high tire prices but they do offer the convenience of stopping by any dealership if you have issues for road hazard. Don’t buy off brands for tires. Shop for the same tire brand that’s good and find the best deals
    2
  11954. Hi Marjan! So when the computer goes into closed loop the catalytic converter have warmed up sufficiently to operate. They warm up rapidly as they essentially have a torch on them. If you’ve seen an engine running without an exhaust manifold you’ll remember the flames that come out. Some models especially the newer ones will show you the temperature of the catalytic converter
    2
  11955. It shouldn’t really turn orange it should stay pink. And I would recommend replacement the first 5 years or 100k miles then every 5 years or 50k miles
    2
  11956. On your 2005 highlander I would check that exhaust for leaks real well as they are notorious for leaks. If everything checks out then unfortunately it will need cats and on that one it’s the exhaust manifolds if memory serves right
    2
  11957. Honestly at this high rate of consumption I would look into fixing it if the rest of the car is perfect. If not consider moving on from it. In the meantime keep topping off the oil and that should keep it running. Cleaning the cats at this point is money down the drain honestly. I don’t have specific experience with cat cleaners. Spark plugs at some point will start oil fouling and causing misfires and if that’s not the case and still there’s misfires it might just be low compression. That would be the worse case scenario.
    2
  11958. On that corolla things are slow to be picked up. Very random misfires could go by without setting a code
    2
  11959. Honestly in your case it’s likely cats if there are no exhaust leaks. If you can pass emissions that means they’re border line. I would wait until they completely fail to replace them. It could be a while before that happens
    2
  11960. A pinhole could do it if it’s just before the sensor
    2
  11961. Sometimes it would but having good has to begin with is the best
    2
  11962. Try it but there’s a high chance it will come back
    2
  11963. Hi! Honestly it could be just a failure of the cat because of the misfires. In this car the cat is the exhaust manifold
    2
  11964. Hi! The CHR is a very good car in my opinion
    2
  11965. Hi! I’ve had quite a few with the random shutter codes. For some reason majority of them were avalons. There’s many theories one of them is ice blocking it or leaves and debris blocking it at times. But there’s a calibration you can do which I’ve done and haven’t seen them back yet. It does help with a faster warm up
    2
  11966. Hi! I would give it 3-4 minutes before shutting it off at idle or just take it easy on the last 5-10 min of driving to your stop
    2
  11967. Hi! An upgrade is probably not worth it honestly
    2
  11968. I wish they had a manual option!
    2
  11969. Hi! For that kind of climate I wouldn’t. If it consistently drops below that then perhaps it’s a good idea
    2
  11970. I’m looking into getting one soon.
    2
  11971. It is normal and a video is a good idea! Until then though don’t worry about it at all! I’m with you the engine is loud but that’s normal
    2
  11972. Hi’ it shouldn’t be an issue but maintenance is due as soon as you buy or make it part of the deal.
    2
  11973. Hi’ no real information yet
    2
  11974. Hi! Likely not difficult but getting the wiring right might be difficult and honestly the whole proposition is likely not worth it
    2
  11975. Thank you my brother. May the lord bless you and keep.
    1
  11976. Hi! Obd2 scanner?
    1
  11977. Hi! The new model is very good. A bit pricy but good.
    1
  11978. Hi! Because they are sealed units they tend to be more expensive
    1
  11979. Basically yes. If you store the car for longer periods of time it’s not good for the overall health of the battery
    1
  11980. They are good
    1
  11981. Hi! Underneath the back seat
    1
  11982. Hi! It depends on the model. Which model and year Toyota hybrid do you have?
    1
  11983. Unfortunately no. No immediate harm will occur but down the road there will be deterioration. If you plan to keep the car 5 years or less then no issues. But if keeping it long I would consider a gasoline model or have someone drive it while you're away.
    1
  11984. You’re very welcome! It happens! I’m glad that was it and you’re all set.
    1
  11985. Hi! The Toyota RAV4 hybrid doesn’t have a timing belt. It has a timing chain which lasts the life of the engine and doesn’t need any service
    1
  11986. Thank you!
    1
  11987. It’s located underneath the seat similar to the corolla.
    1
  11988. Thank you for watching. Which year Camry hybrid are you looking to buy?
    1
  11989. The motors inside the transmission as pretty reliable. I can count with one hand the times that I’ve seen issues with the motors in my over a decade of experience working on Toyota hybrids.
    1
  11990. Thank you for watching my video! So there’s no trouble between the motors working to drive your car. They all actually work together in harmony in a system that has proven very reliable for how complicated it is. Here’s a video series that I made explaining how the system works in simple terms https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeFzfl0Q8rQUgJLQheNbttBtKT6iSOX4D
    1
  11991. Depends on the model. Which model are you referring to?
    1
  11992. Hi! I have a video for that one. Here it is https://youtu.be/WNo-VXJSg7s
    1
  11993. They’re ok. They do have their issues with age but nothing major with good maintenance they can keep going
    1
  11994. Yes exactly! I think it’s a good trade off
    1
  11995. I think it’s a very nice van. A bit low on power but otherwise very nice. Soon I will be doing a review on one.
    1
  11996. Anything I can help clear up?
    1
  11997. Hi! Which model?
    1
  11998. Hi! Which years were the highlander and Prius and how many miles?
    1
  11999. Unfortunately and for some reason we don’t have the awesome CHR hybrid in the us.
    1
  12000. Hi! Newer hybrids will have an actual filter for the fan for the hybrid battery
    1
  12001. So the transmission fluid on your car does get dark looking anywhere between 60-90k would hurt to replace it in that time period. Better safe than sorry. Also your car might have no come equipped with a filter. You can install one easily and maintain it especially if you use the back seat or have pets. Here’s a video with more information on the filter https://youtu.be/skSoXGcNpS4
    1
  12002. Hi! What year prius do you own?
    1
  12003. Hi! It depends on the model. Which model hybrid and year do you have?
    1
  12004. Hi! There are 2 filters on the back seat sides. You can vacuum them or remove the cover and clean them.
    1
  12005. Hi! Depends on the model
    1
  12006. Hi! The filter will need to be checked and cleaned as needed no specific interval. On your 2011 they’re not equipped. On the Prius V it’s underneath the passenger side rear seat
    1
  12007. Thank you for your feedback. Background music is removed soon after this video was released
    1
  12008. Hi! I don’t have a video for that yet. Still looking for a volunteer in Chicago to film with
    1
  12009. Hi’ you can add a filter to it but before that clean the fan then add the filter
    1
  12010. Hi! Thank you! A video for brake fluid replacement is planned for the near future
    1
  12011. Hi! The battery cooling system is designed to handle very hot climates. A few things you’d want to do to help is make sure the vent is clear and the filter is clean. Also always use air conditioning when driving as that air conditioned air is used to cool the battery.
    1
  12012. I would wait and see. It will have a similar drivetrain to the 2021 highlander which is not bad. Even though it’s a 4 cylinder it has the additional boost of the hybrid system to help it.
    1
  12013. Hi! You’ll need to check the horn circuit to find out if it’s a button. Issue or a horn itself issue
    1
  12014. Unfortunately some dealerships are not paying attention to this. You don't even need them to. Underneath the back seat on the side look for a black plastic slotted vent. The filter should sit behind it. You can check it yourself by shining a light in to see if it's dirty and most importantly don't cover it and make sure it's always open.
    1
  12015. Not always. If it’s been well maintained it shouldn’t be an issue
    1
  12016. What Toyota hybrid do you have?
    1
  12017. Hi! You’re good for hybrids and cold climate. Parking the car in very cold weather for over a month without driving can be a problem but otherwise you’re good
    1
  12018. The main concern with hybrid A/C is the type of oil you use. Use the wrong oil and you’ll fry the compressor.
    1
  12019. Hi! Because they tend to be a non standard size and they are sealed with a side vent on most hybrids
    1
  12020. Hi! You’d need to get codes to know what’s going on
    1
  12021. It’s a good car if it has good service history
    1
  12022. Hi! I don’t really have enough experience with honda hybrids to have a useful opinion about them.
    1
  12023. Depends on your car. Typically around the back seat area as that’s where the battery is located on most models
    1
  12024. Hi! You can buy a filter online or from the dealership and it clips over the vent part number G92DH-47020
    1
  12025. Still waiting to get one to film with
    1
  12026. If the filter mesh is clean don’t worry about the fan itself
    1
  12027. Yes as long as it’s been maintained correctly and is in good shape
    1
  12028. Hi! That is a different scenario. The battery cooling system is capable of cooling the battery sufficiently even in hot climate. When the battery is not running or being used it doesn’t warm up.
    1
  12029. Most of the issues with the brake booster has to do with a very small crack inside the booster that causes air bubbles. I don’t know of a way to prevent it other than not to open the hydraulic system without proper scan tool bleeding
    1
  12030. Labor rate will vary greatly. It’s around 140-150 an hour in the Chicago area
    1
  12031. Hi! Labor wise usually 3-5 hours more like 5 for the highlander. Part prices can be looked up on parts.Toyota.com
    1
  12032. flagmichael I’m glad I could help! I told people to avoid the 1st gen prius simply because finding ones that are well maintained today is very difficult. Most people who took care of them either still have them or has very high mileage on them. On your 14 Prius there’s 2 filters. One that comes from the factory that’s behind the vent and another one that you can add that clips onto the outside. I would get the one that clips on the outside for ease of cleaning
    1
  12033. The high voltage cooling fan filter
    1
  12034. Hi! Yes here’s a video with more information https://youtu.be/WNo-VXJSg7s
    1
  12035. Thank you for watching and subscribing! I am located in Chicago.
    1
  12036. Hi Adrian! Thank you for watching my video. I do read almost all comments and reply if needed. I try to be as neutral and not biased as possible. But the truth need to be told, Toyota does hybrids really well for the most part.
    1
  12037. Hi! Yes you can use a battery tender on the 12v battery of your highlander.
    1
  12038. Ok is this an original battery on the car?
    1
  12039. Ok I see. What year it your Lexus and how often are you driving it?
    1
  12040. At least 5-10 miles or 20-30 minutes
    1
  12041. In this case it’s just lack of use and I would consider a battery maintainer or a portable jump starter.
    1
  12042. I would get the battery load tested. If it tests bad I would replace it. Batteries that are old and their general health is not good won’t hold charge as well.
    1
  12043. Hi! If you drive it regularly but short distances you should be good. Long term storage is what damages the battery
    1
  12044. Congratulations in advance for your purchase! You’re gonna like it.
    1
  12045. I was going to but it varies so much and I decided to go general. A video is planned to break down the maintenance specific to hybrids.
    1
  12046. Hi! I have many videos on how to replace them for individual models. Which model do you have?
    1
  12047. Yes it is. Most Toyota and Lexus hybrids actually share the exact same Powertrains.
    1
  12048. The regular RAV4 hybrid recharges itself using the regen braking and the engine as needed. Here’s a series on how hybrids work to give you more details https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeFzfl0Q8rQUgJLQheNbttBtKT6iSOX4D
    1
  12049. What year rav4?
    1
  12050. Hi! That is a good model to buy. The filter is underneath the back seat. That is normal for the bars to drop
    1
  12051. Hi! So the knocking noise is misfiring. Did you look at ignition coils?
    1
  12052. Thank you for watching my channel! The corolla hybrid is a really good choice. It gets very good gas mileage and has a lot of features standard! Keep up the maintenance on it and you’ll have it for a long time! Congratulations on your purchase!
    1
  12053. Hi! It affects it however they warm up pretty quick and it’s a minor effect. They do better in cold than hot. Only time it could become an issue if the car is parked in very cold weather without use for months at a time
    1
  12054. Hi! If you plan to keep it long I would buy new. They’re pretty much all the same so choose which model you like and that suits your needs.
    1
  12055. I don’t have experience with LPG conversions but it’s possible on hybrids
    1
  12056. Hi! They are good models based on the later generation hybrid system similar to a 3rd generation prius
    1
  12057. I do have a video for it. Search car car nut highlander hybrid
    1
  12058. Ok so that applies. I’m actively looking for an Avalon to film a video with in the Chicago area to show how to service it
    1
  12059. So if you open the drivers side back door. As soon as you open it look at the back rest of the seat you’ll see a vent. Shine a light through the vent and you’ll see a filter. I am assuming this is a 2013-2018 Avalon correct?
    1
  12060. Hi! If equipped it would be behind the vent on the drivers side of the back seat
    1
  12061. They are good in my opinion
    1
  12062. As chuck mentioned the high voltage battery has a fan for cooling. That fan draws air from inside the car to cool the battery. If that vent is clogged it will cause insufficient cooling of the battery and over time will degrade the battery and cause it to fail.
    1
  12063. For hybrid transmission fluid replacement see this video https://youtu.be/I1fP-RKsqG0
    1
  12064. Thank you for watching my video Kris!
    1
  12065. Hi! No filter to replace but to clean on your RX 3 of them actually
    1
  12066. Thank you for watching!
    1
  12067. The 5000 miles oil change is the best thing you have done to your Toyota! It's really hard to guess if they have as many dealerships are not checking these filters. Best to either ask or check it yourself to see. It's located on the back of the back seat on the passenger side. As soon as you open the passenger rear door you'll see a vent. Shine a light inside the vent to see the filter.
    1
  12068. Thank you for watching my video! Honestly changing the brake fluid every 3-5 years could help extend the life of the actuator but is not guaranteed. Looks like you've got everything covered on maintenance after the filter. One thing I will add on the 2nd gen never overfill it with oil, they tend to suck oil into the intake which causes issues when the car is cold. Also they could burn oil as miles add up and as long as you keep the oil topped off you should have no issues.
    1
  12069. Try to have the charge level on the display half way and don’t worry. 3 weeks is not too bad
    1
  12070. Hi! You drive it regularly but short distances it could make sense to buy one
    1
  12071. Yes the RAV4 prime is a plug in hybrid with around 42 miles of electric range then it turns into a conventional hybrid
    1
  12072. Thank you for watching my videos. I don’t really have an opinion on the honda clarity. I don’t have experience with modern honda hybrids. If the Prius prime is too small how about a RAV4 prime?
    1
  12073. Thanks Jim! I’m looking into a series on how hybrids work and will start planning for it! Thank you for watching my videos!
    1
  12074. There was a series of recalls involving software updates that if not done could cause hardware damage which would disable the car. The best part is it's covered and even if hardware damage occurs the recall would cover it at no cost to you.
    1
  12075. Martin Novák I would check it every 6 months initially to see how it’s progressing and decide how often to check it based on your initial 6 months check. For example if you have pets you’ll want to clean it more often. If you regularly have people in the back seat I’d check it more often but if not the likely it won’t get dirty as quick.
    1
  12076. Hi! I don’t think a manual transmission hybrid is in the works at least in Toyota land. The original insight was hybrid assist and not the same as Toyota hybrids
    1
  12077. Hi! I am in the Chicago area
    1
  12078. On a 2017 Prius the battery filter is located underneath the back seat. Somewhat similar to the corolla one. I’m working on making a video on your model in the near future.

    1
  12080. I specialize in Toyota Lexus scion. I wouldn’t have good information on honda hybrids.
    1
  12081. Thank you! I agree with you on the Aisen parts. Thank you for the video idea! I'll add it to the list!
    1
  12082. They are both similar products. The venza is newer and has the latest technology. Maintaining a Lexus can be a bit more expensive due to the dealership being more expensive but not by a lot.
    1
  12083. The hybrid RX does have 3 built in filters that can be cleaned. Here’s a video with more information https://youtu.be/WNo-VXJSg7s
    1
  12084. Hi! Rx hybrids are good. Keep up the maintenance and take care of the car and it will take care of you
    1
  12085. I think it will be good down the road. Lithium ion batteries have advantages and disadvantages as well as nickel metal batteries
    1
  12086. If your Gen2 lasted that long without any issues I have no doubt that the Prime will last even longer! It does have to do with how you drive and treat the car and overall maintenance! Best of luck with your Prime! Sweet car!
    1
  12087. Congratulations on your highlander! You’re gonna love it! I just drove one today and I couldn’t help but think what a nice car especially in the platinum hybrid configuration.
    1
  12088. Now was that sales that said that or service?
    1
  12089. Interesting. Toyota doesn’t endorse that repair by the way.
    1
  12090. Not aware of dealers replacing individual cells. Interesting
    1
  12091. Depends on your hybrid model. Older ones can be a bit complicated. Newer ones are much easier.
    1
  12092. Hi! The fan filter on the sienna will be right in front of you when you open the drivers and passenger front doors if you look down. How often it should be replaced depends on your use. I would check it every 3-6 months
    1
  12093. Hi! Which model and year Toyota hybrid do you have?
    1
  12094. Hi! I don’t have that exact model in the US but the hybrid system in that model is a very good one
    1
  12095. Hi. It is in the manual however there are some conditions that would change that to 5k miles oil changes. Read your maintenance guide. If you want to play it safe I would change it every 5k and pay for the service in between
    1
  12096. Hi! Yes but you’d want to keep an eye on the hybrid battery cooling system
    1
  12097. It should have a filter. Look inside the vent. If it has one its going to be inside the vent.
    1
  12098. Thank you for your comment James. In my entire career with Toyota working on hybrid Toyota’s daily I’ve never seen a DC-DC converter fail. Do you know if any failures?
    1
  12099. Hi! Each model is different. Which model do you have?
    1
  12100. Hi! It depends on the model. Which model and year Toyota hybrid do you have?
    1
  12101. All hybrids are as reliable and dependable. Whichever option suits your needs will be good as long as you drive and like the way they drive
    1
  12102. Hi Andrew! I wouldn’t put it as better. There’s pros and cons. The lithium ion battery actually is lighter and smaller. It also has less of a memory effect. But doesn’t last as long as the nickel metal. The nickel metal is tried and true. Really both of them are good options.
    1
  12103. Hi! I would check it monthly and change the interval as needed. Also replace it if it’s worn or torn otherwise clean it
    1
  12104. Hi! Try braking earlier to charge the battery
    1
  12105. Hi! Yes the corolla hybrid is a very good hybrid to buy in my opinion
    1
  12106. That’s an ongoing issue. They have a TSB for it but yet to see it as a simple maintenance item.
    1
  12107. The Prius prime actually has 2! They are located on both sides of the back of the back seat. As soon as you open either back door you'll see a vent on the back seat between the door and the back seat. Vacuum it out regularly and you should have no issues.
    1
  12108. That’s a nice suv! I wouldn’t pull the seat. Do you have the 3 vents underneath the back seat? These are actually the filter on your car
    1
  12109. No proven reason yet. Many theories out most relevant one is underperforming electric water pump that’s not caught by the computer
    1
  12110. Nice car! I guess Tesla’s don’t have that problem 😀
    1
  12111. I’m sorry you went through this. Catalytic converter theft is on the rise. Not limited to hybrids as all cars have exposed catalytic converters. I recommend you look into aftermarket alternatives to secure it so it’s not stolen easily.
    1
  12112. Usually it’s easy to get to. It depends on the model usually around the back seat area
    1
  12113. Hi! The filter is located underneath the passenger rear seat
    1
  12114. Hi! Other than the normal maintenance not really. Try not to leave the car for a long time in very cold weather without driving. If you drive it frequently Then you have nothing to worry about other than normal maintenance.
    1
  12115. Hi! hard to guess honestly. I would ask them but knowing dealerships likely its whatever mobil 1 gives them a better deal on.
    1
  12116. Hi! You’re good on the fluid.
    1
  12117. Hi! 75w90 or 75w85
    1
  12118. Hi! Yes the same interval
    1
  12119. Hi! Follow the recommendation from your manual.
    1
  12120. Hi! We’ve seen a wave of pumps and drivers going out. It will need some diagnosis though
    1
  12121. Hi! Try to get gl4 for the transmission and gl5 is good for the rest
    1
  12122. Hi! You don’t have a rear differential and the front differential is part of the transmission
    1
  12123. It wouldn’t hurt it. Most fluids out there already has LSD additive
    1
  12124. Hi! Depends if you have LSD or not.
    1
  12125. Hi! If the differential is LSD then you must use LSD fluid otherwise you can use either
    1
  12126. Hi! That’s ok you can use it
    1
  12127. Hi! Honestly 75w85 have been used and caused no issues other than a very slight and hardly noticeable drop in fuel mileage. That’s likely why no one tried to make that specific fluid.
    1
  12128. Hi! Parts.Toyota.com
    1
  12129. Hi my brother! Yep prices are joining car prices and will get worse before it gets better
    1
  12130. It does smell terrible. The metal can could have to do something with it as all the other fluids that come in a metal can have the same strong smell.
    1
  12131. Hi! If it’s less than 100k yes if it’s over I would leave it alone
    1
  12132. Hi! you don't have to. Royal purple makes great fluids.
    1
  12133. Hi! They’re both the same
    1
  12134. Hi! If it specifically specifies that it is GL4 then it’s good.
    1
  12135. Hi! GL5 works. Shop around for good brands
    1
  12136. Hi! You can use Mobil or amsoil. Amsoil oil is pricey but very good quality. Mobil is more affordable and is also good.
    1
  12137. It should be good
    1
  12138. Hi you can use multi weight GL 5
    1
  12139. Hi! On average every 6 years is a good time period
    1
  12140. Hi! Personally I always recommend using original fluid for transmissions. It’s up to you on this one.
    1
  12141. Hi! It’s a possible oversight honestly. Most of them list either GL3 or GL4 but some will say either or especially the older ones( example 2005 corolla manual lists both) I’ll look into this
    1
  12142. Air in the clutch circuit can cause that as well.
    1
  12143. Interesting. Is there anything like a thicker floor mat blocking the clutch from going all in?
    1
  12144. Hi! Which model and how many miles?
    1
  12145. Hi! The front toe could use a tiny bit of a tweak to bring it in spec. How were the edges of the old tires any feathering? Especially the fronts?
    1
  12146. Hi! GL5 gear oil without the LT
    1
  12147. Nothing really. Unless you do extreme off roading you won’t have issues
    1
  12148. Hi! Either fluid is good and yea I would replace it every 30k miles
    1
  12149. Hi! Is it rusty?
    1
  12150. Hi! The camry and avalon will be slightly ahead because of their configuration. Avoid any IS250 and you're good.
    1
  12151. Hi! Every 60k miles or 6 years
    1
  12152. Likely not depends on your use.
    1
  12153. Hi! For duel clutch transmissions you want to consult your owners manual as some of them require special fluids. Toyota doesn’t make a dual clutch trabsmission.
    1
  12154. Hi! For your RAV4 it has electric steering so no fluid. For the transmission fluid it uses Toyota WS ATF
    1
  12155. Hi! Yes you can
    1
  12156. Interesting! It’s hard to find in the US
    1
  12157. Hi! You can use it in your transfer casw
    1
  12158. Hi! You can do the first oil change at another shop and consult your owners manual for the oil type
    1
  12159. It’s a similar process yes
    1
  12160. Hi! In this case yes
    1
  12161. Hi! It works
    1
  12162. Every 60k miles and use toyota CVT fluid for your 2020 Toyota Corolla XSE CVT transmission
    1
  12163. Hi! Transmission fluid?
    1
  12164. Hi! The torque converter shudder doesn’t affect the Venza but does affect the 2012-2014 Camry and the 2013-2015 rav4 with the 6 speed
    1
  12165. Hi! That should work
    1
  12166. Hi! 75/90 GL5 will work fine. Choose a brand you trust
    1
  12167. Hi! I typically don’t unless you drive very low mileage and repeated short trips under 5 miles.
    1
  12168. Follow the recommendation from your owners manual or service manual as different transmissions will have different requirements
    1
  12169. Hi! Gen3 Tacoma?
    1
  12170. Hi! On the GX the transmission uses atf WS. The front and rear differential use gear oil so does the transfer case. On the Lexus IS250 RWD not AWD you have the transmission fluid that is separate then the rear differential which also uses gear oil
    1
  12171. You can without issues
    1
  12172. Hi! It can work but honestly type 4 is very cheap to buy I wouldn’t waste on WS for a type 4 car
    1
  12173. Hi! I’ve been using Phillips haven’t had any issues
    1
  12174. 24mm for some differential fill and drain plugs otherwise you won’t really need it
    1
  12175. Hi! Regular Phillips
    1
  12176. Hi! I think the dewalt can go to 150 or something like that.
    1
  12177. Hi! Which year and do you have access to a scan tool?
    1
  12178. I haven’t heard of them. I’ll check them out
    1
  12179. They’re not great honestly. For usage that is every once in a while they can be ok but otherwise they’re too cheaply made at times
    1
  12180. Hi! Try it. Don’t have the spec sheet handy
    1
  12181. Hi! In the video I discussed brands. Please watch the video
    1
  12182. Replace the oil pan or resize it one size up.
    1
  12183. I’ll check them out.
    1
  12184. Hi! They make really good quality tools. I have a few things from them
    1
  12185. Hi! You can take it to Toyota
    1
  12186. Hi! You mean the model numbers?
    1
  12187. Never used them. I’ll check them out thanks
    1
  12188. It happens to all of us my brother.
    1
  12189. Hi! Hit and miss. They’re ok for occasional use but any heavy use and their true colors show
    1
  12190. Hi! Yes it’s the norm for mechanics to have their own tools. Some of the expensive diagnostic equipment is supplied by the shop though
    1
  12191. Hi! The quickjack or the floor jack?
    1
  12192. Which one? The one for the RAV4 hybrid and others similar?
    1
  12193. Hi Stephane! Thank you for watching my brother! Hope you’re doing well.
    1
  12194. Hi! The V6 model is not affected by the torque converter shudder so no worries for you
    1
  12195. Yes sir always fun
    1
  12196. Hi! Try spinning the engine by hand to see if seized up
    1
  12197. That’s a good idea!
    1
  12198. Hi! The ES330 has a timing belt. Pilot has a timing belt and the civic has a timing chain
    1
  12199. Hi! In a future video
    1
  12200. Usually regular phillips
    1
  12201. Hi! They don’t supply tools. Mechanics buy their own tools. They do supply some speciality tools that Toyota require dealerships to have
    1
  12202. That is a very good price for that set
    1
  12203. That’s a good price for gp. Where did you find itv
    1
  12204. For $46 and DIY use it’s a good price and worth it. A set that cost $46 likely won’t withstand the heavy daily use of professionals but for DIY it should be good
    1
  12205. For 46 bucks it’s worth it. Snap on will sell you one socket for that price.
    1
  12206. Hi! The only mid length sockets you’ll use on toyota are 10 12 and 14. No experience with capri tools
    1
  12207. Hi! Should be ok but it’s not ideal for best traction.
    1
  12208. Hi! That sound is completely normal for this engine. If this is how it sounded before the repair then it didn’t actually need the repair. The rattle from the vvti gear is a lot louder.
    1
  12209. Hi! A slight rattle is normal. Record it and let’s hear it to give you peace of mind
    1
  12210. Hi! Which filter number do you have?
    1
  12211. Search knipex pliers
    1
  12212. Hi! You can safely go to 5000 miles but I wouldn’t discourage you from doing it anywhere between 3000-5000
    1
  12213. Hi! No. Automotive technicians buy their own tools. Some manufacturer specific special tools are required to be there at every dealership
    1
  12214. They carry those I think in advanced auto parts here. They’re actually not bad
    1
  12215. Hi my brother. Sunex tools are good. I’ve seen some of their hand tools they’re ok but their shop equipment is very good
    1
  12216. Hi! The standard length works good for oil changes
    1
  12217. Hi! I wouldn’t put it as the best brand. I’d say a digital torque wrench is a better option. First one to buy is a small 3/8” and then a 1/2”
    1
  12218. Gear wrench makes a few good options. I recommend a digital one
    1
  12219. Yes and I like them
    1
  12220. Thank you for watching my videos. Sstbc is the same as rcd. Also isc can be added aftermarket but it won’t have the brake function
    1
  12221. Hi! RCTA and ICS are not part of Toyota safety sense as they are optional in most models. So the version of TSS will not have an impact on them. It will vary model by model if they have braking or not.
    1
  12222. Hi! It won’t stop if it doesn’t have PA W/AB
    1
  12223. These systems really haven’t had any software updates as they run pretty well.
    1
  12224. That is another issue that would need codes pulled and diagnosis
    1
  12225. Hi! There’s no oem integration for side cameras like the honda in Toyota vehicles
    1
  12226. I’ll add a video for the maf in the future
    1
  12227. Hi! Every 25-50k miles
    1
  12228. It’s all good until suddenly the engine takes too much and hydro lock. Be careful.
    1
  12229. Best wishes to your my brother!
    1
  12230. Yes but be careful with the maf sensor
    1
  12231. Hi! You can do that. Mazda might have different requirements for this procedure
    1
  12232. Every 25-50k milrs
    1
  12233. Hi! Could you describe the bad idle?
    1
  12234. Hi! So it idles low in park but not in neutral?
    1
  12235. Hi! I’ll have a video in the future for it. You want to be more careful with mass air flow sensors
    1
  12236. Hi! Clean it and investigate the cause. Possibly overfilled or excessive blow by
    1
  12237. Hi! That’s too early for an injector cleaning service. And on the rear brake clean and adjust I would consider it at this time. Have them do it once and see how you feel about the brakes. If they felt stronger and better than try to do that service every 20k miles or so. And that service doesn’t cost a lot. And you don’t absolutely need it but if the brakes are out of adjustment then you’ll feel a definite difference when it’s done.
    1
  12238. You can
    1
  12239. Hi! It doesn’t damage the electronics but that excess fluid can end up collecting in the intake
    1
  12240. Please write your question as a comment and I’ll get back to you
    1
  12241. Any other codes than these two codes?
    1
  12242. Gotta try that 😀
    1
  12243. Any trouble codes stored?
    1
  12244. Hi! Could be a throttle body there’s no position sensor on your Camry. Are there any warning lights?
    1
  12245. Hi! No more than half an hour labor.
    1
  12246. Usually half an hour of labor
    1
  12247. That could be normal for these engines. I would need to hear it to be sure it’s the sound that I’m thinking of but this engine is known to do this normally
    1
  12248. Hi! Is it a quick 5 second noise then goes away or continues until fully warmed up?
    1
  12249. I wouldn’t use wd40
    1
  12250. Hi! Every 25-50k. Inspect at 25k and see how it looks
    1
  12251. Hi! The slight gap is normal did you have the codes from before the cleaning?
    1
  12252. Hi! Yes doesn’t have to be a specific one
    1
  12253. Hi! There’s no calibration on that model. It uses a later style throttle body
    1
  12254. Hi! Past 2018 I haven’t seen a case of it leaking and still see 16-18 leaking so they must’ve made a change
    1
  12255. Hi! You didn’t damage anything. Reason I don’t like to spray fluid directly onto it because sometimes folks spray too much
    1
  12256. Should be around 0.5 of labor on average
    1
  12257. Downhill might be normal. As the car automatically engage B mode. The other time maybe it was hard braking. As long as it doesn’t do it everytime you brake id say that’s normal
    1
  12258. Interesting. Do you remember if you were going down hill when that happened?
    1
  12259. Hi! Are you in drive or B mode?
    1
  12260. Hi! Up to 50k miles is a good interval
    1
  12261. Hi! The small piece was pulled out. And it wouldn’t cause the engine to explode. Learning to work on cars takes time but the more information and practice you have the better
    1
  12262. It’s not
    1
  12263. I would
    1
  12264. Yes doesn’t hVe to be a specific one
    1
  12265. It can be.
    1
  12266. Hi! Any check engine light codes? Check for vacuum leaks.
    1
  12267. Hi! Most of these engines have an oil separator. A catch can won’t hurt anything but also could not do much in some cases
    1
  12268. Hi! It can clean mass air flow.
    1
  12269. It’s not but don’t over do it
    1
  12270. You can but not in large amounts
    1
  12271. It pays half hour in labor at the most. $200 is too much at the dealership
    1
  12272. No other issues
    1
  12273. You can do it that way but if anything happen and the pedal is let go while you’re cleaning the plate will come back and can seriously hurt your hand. I don’t recommend it for safety reasons
    1
  12274. Hi! Should be in the fuse block under the hood by the battery
    1
  12275. Hi! Yes it’s the same process for hybrids
    1
  12276. Hi! About half an hour of labor
    1
  12277. Could be oil. Is it a large puddle or Small amounts?
    1
  12278. Hi! Typically mileage is the most important as age doesn’t really get the TB dirty
    1
  12279. Hi! Start with cleaning the throttle body
    1
  12280. Hi! I wouldn’t disconnect it! Just leave it as is
    1
  12281. Hi! Which model?
    1
  12282. Hi! I personally don’t like seam foam. Be careful as you could hydrolock the engine
    1
  12283. Hi! Keep an eye on it. If it develops into a large leak then take care of it
    1
  12284. Not really.
    1
  12285. Hi! Your car uses pink coolant. The check engine light might not be related you’ll need to check for codes
    1
  12286. When you say it doesn’t idle right. What is it doing?
    1
  12287. Hi! No you don’t. Just make sure the key is off
    1
  12288. Did you check the spare tire?
    1
  12289. Hi! What is the code?
    1
  12290. Hi! Yes you can.
    1
  12291. Hi! You can carefully use a toothbrush yes
    1
  12292. Hi! Yes it is
    1
  12293. Yes
    1
  12294. Hi! If the shoes thickness is not 1mm or less keep going. They last a very long time
    1
  12295. Hi! That’s normal as it switches between injection modes
    1
  12296. Hi! On your RAV4 no issues opening the butterfly
    1
  12297. Hi! It could be yes.
    1
  12298. Hi! It will be a high idle until it relearns not a rough idle
    1
  12299. Both
    1
  12300. Hi Ken. Other than the standard maintenance not really much else. It’s a good car that you have. Keep oil changes around 5k or 6 months. Coolant every 5 years or 50k. If the throttle body has never been cleaned I would clean it at this point
    1
  12301. Yes they do
    1
  12302. Hi! Does the car crank but won’t start?
    1
  12303. On Toyota and Lexus no it doesn’t affect anything
    1
  12304. Try cleaning the throttle body
    1
  12305. Hi! Cleaning the maf can do good but you gotta be careful cleaning them as they are kinda of fragile and easily damaged
    1
  12306. This one is one that needs in person diagnosis. It’s possible that you have a slight carbon build up but that needs inspecting with a camera before doing anything
    1
  12307. Does it happen to vibrate when the ac is on?
    1
  12308. Yes that’s normla
    1
  12309. Hi! They do work. No issues that i see using one
    1
  12310. Yes it does
    1
  12311. I work exclusively on Toyota, Lexus and scion products
    1
  12312. Hi! Did you forget to plug in your mass air flow?
    1
  12313. Hi! You can but it’s not recommended. If you spray too much it might pool in the intake and that’s not good
    1
  12314. Hi! The heat will negate the gain if any. Honestly the power gains are questionable with these setups. Perhaps the response will be better
    1
  12315. Yes that’s ok just don’t spray too much at a time
    1
  12316. Have them take a look. I’d start with recalibration the camera and go from there.
    1
  12317. I would. Perhaps they could try to calibrate the camera in case it’s out of calibration. Does the lane keep assist work ok?
    1
  12318. Ok did you bring this to the dealership attention?
    1
  12319. What is your Toyota model?
    1
  12320. As far as I know lifting the car will affect the calibration of the radar sensor and the front camera.
    1
  12321. Scott M try a memory reset with your transmissions. Would need a scan tool to do that but that will improve your shifting issues on your 16 camry
    1
  12322. Hi! It would throw off its calibration and dealerships are instructed by Toyota not to modify the calibration for safety reasons.
    1
  12323. Hi! You mean the distance setting or sensitive setting is not working or the radar cruise?
    1
  12324. I’m glad it worked and avoided a major accident.
    1
  12325. Hi! Did it work then it stopped working? Or it never worked? Is the parking assist and rcta turned on?
    1
  12326. Hi! A rock chip would affect the system if the rock chip is in front of the camera and if the rock chip end up causing a crack that would require the windshield to be replaced
    1
  12327. On the dealership side there’s no updates available.
    1
  12328. Hi Gunter! Things might be a bit different for your Yaris as it’s a model we don’t have in the US however in other models that we have with the same feature you do have to set it up every time which is odd.
    1
  12329. For reliability I would look into the ES. The IS and GS are reliable however they’re a bit more complicated than the ES. The 350 would be my choice.
    1
  12330. That I am not sure about. I would ask the manufacturer about it
    1
  12331. Honestly I doubt it that might be too much for it
    1
  12332. Not yet! I’ll make a tool box tour video in the future
    1
  12333. I store it in the car in summer still works fine
    1
  12334. You can leave it plugged into the battery and hang it on the grille just make sure it’s well insulated
    1
  12335. Hi! I would connect the trickle charger or battery maintainer directly to the battery.
    1
  12336. Coldest I’ve left it outside is around. -10 F and it’s good.
    1
  12337. Tested it on hybrids it works.
    1
  12338. Yes
    1
  12339. You can use the cigarette lighter from another car to charge it up in case the car you’re jumping is completely dead
    1
  12340. Should be available on amazon
    1
  12341. I have mine in the car in cold Chicago winter days and it still works.
    1
  12342. No problem. You can use it on a Prius
    1
  12343. It takes a very short time on usb maybe 2-3 minutes in my testing
    1
  12344. Honestly I haven’t tested it for that. If the battery of the lawn mower is not completely dead it could work.
    1
  12345. Will do when I get a dead tundra. I did try it on a very dead battery v6 and it didn’t have a problem at all.
    1
  12346. Likely it will not work with a completely dead battery with an open circuit or zero volts but the chances of that are not as common.
    1
  12347. Hi! It takes a very long time when the battery is below 9 volts
    1
  12348. Yes that’s normal. Hybrids don’t have a large 12v battery and can be drained easily
    1
  12349. Hi! I would if you need a van. It’s a good good combination of space and gas mileage
    1
  12350. Hi! Thank you for watching my videos. I recently tested this one in a cold day in Chicago around 20 F not the coldest and it worked great. I have not tested a product from project farm. I’ll look into it thank you.
    1
  12351. They rate it at 4.0L diesel. Haven’t tried it on a 7.3 diesel.
    1
  12352. I see. It might not be available at the moment in the UK. I’ll send an email to the manufacturer to ask.
    1
  12353. I see are you in the US?
    1
  12354. Hi! I just tested the link and it’s working.
    1
  12355. You can use the cigarette lighter to charge up the Capacitors to jump start the car
    1
  12356. It will take a long time to charge up if the battery is very low. If it’s completely dead as in zero volts it won’t charge
    1
  12357. Hi Michelle 👋 hope you’re doing well. Thank you for watching my videos!
    1
  12358. I would estimate it gives you around 2 minutes of jump start time which is plenty to start most modern cars with computers. It will count down 10 seconds which gives you good time to go sit in the car and be ready to start it
    1
  12359. That’s actually a very good idea. I would contact the manufacturer
    1
  12360. Hi! Unfortunately it was a timed coupon for this one.
    1
  12361. Hi! Which car do you have?
    1
  12362. Hi! This doesn’t charge the battery just jump starts it
    1
  12363. Thank you for watching! Here’s a link with information on your generation rav4 https://youtu.be/KIAq0M3BUWQ
    1
  12364. Hi! It doesn’t have one from the factory. It just has a power outlet
    1
  12365. Hi! On hybrids the gain is not really worth it. On non hybrids it’s better but still the gain is not something you will notice.
    1
  12366. I haven’t seen one with issues yet but that price seems right
    1
  12367. On the old Venza or new Venza?
    1
  12368. Well wait and see the official specs. It should be very similar if not the same
    1
  12369. Hi! They typically list around 500-1000 miles on most models. I would go the 1000 miles
    1
  12370. Not really clear why they didn’t rate it for towing as it should be capable
    1
  12371. Only the fan would come on but the ac wouldn’t work
    1
  12372. Hi! For the 2021 model only the LE has lithium ion. The xle se and xse has NiMh
    1
  12373. Very true. It is smaller.
    1
  12374. Hi! I don’t know about other manufacturers but for Toyota they’re going with that because of the whole gas pedal issues they had and the possibility of floor mats getting stuck under the pedal. This new pedal has more parts to it so it likely costs them more if anything
    1
  12375. Hi! Similar yes
    1
  12376. Honestly that depends on your preference.
    1
  12377. Hi! They’re nice cars and very similar to the Avalon models
    1
  12378. Hi! Cost and difference from higher end more expensive model. Like Toyota and Lexus
    1
  12379. Not yet. If you have issues please report them to your dealership and/or Toyota. Or if you’d like to share them here. Very interested in hearing what issues you run into with your Venza.
    1
  12380. Hi! It has TSS 2.0
    1
  12381. The engines with 0w16 are too new to know.
    1
  12382. Hi! I’d have to look into this one
    1
  12383. Congratulations!
    1
  12384. Hi! Toyota gasoline engines don’t have GPF filters.
    1
  12385. Hi! The RAV4 base model has nickel metal everything else has lithium ion. There’s no possibility of upgrade if you’d call it that. The sienna has nickel metal and I’d have to look into the towing capacity
    1
  12386. Hi! I have not I specialize in Toyota products only
    1
  12387. Hi! Driving wise it would drive very similar. The jerking unfortunately is always going to be there on hybrids as they switch between modes and switch brake between regen and hydraulic. But it is a vast improvement from the older hybrids.
    1
  12388. Hi! I did a demonstration not on a Venza but on a Camry which is my car but it’s the same as the venza in this video https://youtu.be/uU9SX-Wt2GQ
    1
  12389. Hi! The climate control of these cars is very similar to the conventional Prius not the prime though
    1
  12390. Review my series on how hybrids work here https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeFzfl0Q8rQUgJLQheNbttBtKT6iSOX4D
    1
  12391. It would make total sense. However the image out of the front camera is not a color picture but kinda of a pixel image that the computer can read and analyze so that probably wouldn’t work as a dash cam
    1
  12392. Toyota historically has been slow in rolling out new tech but their cars are also extremely slow in going to the junk yard as well. The only other hybrid car that I’m scanning through in trying to think how they’ll pull it off is the Lexus Ls600h
    1
  12393. I thought the same. This one on the inside feels more classic. I think it’s a very nice car equally nice to the RAV4. Just gives folks variance in looks.
    1
  12394. It’s either just called Toyota on phones App Store or Toyota connect
    1
  12395. Yeah they ran out of stock.
    1
  12396. Hi! It can program keys on select models including toyota. $99 a year after the initial 3 years of free updates. Not Bluetooth capable as far as I know
    1
  12397. The D8 has more features
    1
  12398. It looks like it went out of stock. Hopefully they’ll come back soon. You can buy them on Amazon the links in the description
    1
  12399. Hi! You can make a custom data list
    1
  12400. I spoke with the company they said a shipment is in transit to Amazon
    1
  12401. Hi! Your Avalon has a full size spare with a sensor that’s monitored in it. Check Carista if it’s able to program sensors for your car
    1
  12402. On some models yes. You’ll want to check with the manufacturer
    1
  12403. Updates for this one are 3 years free then $99 per year after that but if you don’t update it, it will still work but not for models newer than the last update
    1
  12404. Hi! What functions do you need it to do?
    1
  12405. Hi! Haven’t used it. I’ll check it out
    1
  12406. Let me know. I’ve talked with them on a few things and they resolved them and quick.
    1
  12407. Hi! A bit more features like more customizations and coding
    1
  12408. Hi! This works on many more makes and models than Toyota
    1
  12409. Hi! This one can’t do customizations unfortunate
    1
  12410. Hi! Contact the manufacturer for more information
    1
  12411. Hi! It can’t do software updates
    1
  12412. Hi! They’re out of stock on Amazon and they’re 470
    1
  12413. No it works on all makes and models
    1
  12414. Hi! They sold out. Contact the company for estimate of availability
    1
  12415. The body ecu doesn’t really need any programming in your highlander. And it can’t do ecu programming.
    1
  12416. Yes it does
    1
  12417. No this is a diagnostic scan tool for oem systems
    1
  12418. Hi! That is customization which Carista can do
    1
  12419. I’ll update in the future. If this survives 6-12 months in a shop environment then to me it’s well made
    1
  12420. Hi chris! This tool likely will not be able to do something like that
    1
  12421. Hi! Not much options for that car scan tool wise but it will almost cover everything that can be done on that model
    1
  12422. Hi! It does all makes and models
    1
  12423. I want to test the D8 waiting for the company to send me one. They’re having some inventory issues because of the chip shortage
    1
  12424. Yeah I noticed. Hope they don’t go on back order like everything else these days.
    1
  12425. Hi! It works on the s class and can do a lot more than the carsoft. I have the carsoft. Unfortunately for Toyota models it doesn’t change customizations. Their higher ( and more expensive ) model does
    1
  12426. This one cannot
    1
  12427. Hi! That’s very possible. We have a row of cars at the dealership sitting around waiting for parts that are on back order some of them are 12v batteries.
    1
  12428. I haven’t tested it on diesel cars
    1
  12429. Hi! I would contact the manufacturers for feature applicability
    1
  12430. Hi! It’s not a simple swap for the transmissions
    1
  12431. Yes it should be able to
    1
  12432. Hi! It doesn’t have one
    1
  12433. This one cannot do customizations
    1
  12434. I work on Toyotas so the example I’ve used is a Toyota but it actually works on most
    1
  12435. It actually does almost every make and model from 1996 and up
    1
  12436. All makes absbmodels
    1
  12437. I wouldn’t have laughed my brother! That’s how it is working on cars! Things happen. Glad nothing major happened
    1
  12438. Hi! All makes and models
    1
  12439. I asked the company they said in transit we’ll see
    1
  12440. Hi! That I haven’t tested. Will have a round of testing soon I’ll look into it
    1
  12441. Hi! Contact the company for specifics to your model
    1
  12442. Hi! I did unfortunately it doesn’t do this level customizations
    1
  12443. Hi! I haven’t gotten a D8 yet. According to the company it has more coding/customizations
    1
  12444. Hi! Likely the wrong unit. It clearly says D7 on the case
    1
  12445. It communicates with Toyota ecu but doesn’t program it
    1
  12446. What are you trying to with Toyota ecu?
    1
  12447. Hi! It’s possible to get in a bad spot if for example you follow a procedure half way using the scan tool but usually in most cases not to a point of disabling the car
    1
  12448. It does have tpms tool
    1
  12449. Hi chris. Search on Amazon for the tool name xtool D7 some of them will be available soon
    1
  12450. Hi! Haven’t tested ot
    1
  12451. All cars.
    1
  12452. Hi! I can recommend a brand proudly made in the USA that will blow this one out of the planet but will also cost you $5000 and another $500-1000 a year in updates. Snap On USA. This would be comparable to the MX808 and has a bit more features and cost leas
    1
  12453. Hi! It can work with all makes and models but I would contact the company for specific information before you buy
    1
  12454. No it can’t do customizations
    1
  12455. This one doesn’t the higher model does
    1
  12456. No it works on all makes and models
    1
  12457. Have not tried it yet on a prime.
    1
  12458. Hi! Haven’t tried it on diesel trucks
    1
  12459. Out of stock it looks like
    1
  12460. Hi! Dealership can tool can adjust the speedo up to 4 mph +-
    1
  12461. Yes you can but the charger wire is short and you’ll need an extension cord for that.
    1
  12462. Hi! I don’t see it flagged on my side. I also never delete comments unless they’re clearly spam. You’re not muted of course ( and no one is ) I see this comment don’t know why comments are disappearing I hear quite a bit of those lately
    1
  12463. ? Do elaborate
    1
  12464. Hi! It’s an emission device it cannot be shut off automatically you have to press the button every time
    1
  12465. The D8 has more capabilities namely customizations
    1
  12466. 2003 may be too old for auto vin detection even techstream won’t pick up the vin. But if the car doesn’t communicate at all even with manual information entry check the OBD fuse
    1
  12467. Yes
    1
  12468. Hi! As far as I know they don’t have a Bluetooth option. Not sure about the launch 431 but it is comparable or better than the autel MX808. It works ok on older models of course with less features but that’s how the original scan tool is as well
    1
  12469. That is something not available on this tool. The higher model supports it called the D8 but it’s also more expensive. If that’s all you need to do Carista can do that and costs a fraction of this one
    1
  12470. Hi! 3 years free updates then 99 bucks per year. But if you don’t update it, it will work with all years up to the last year update
    1
  12471. Hi! Unfortunately it won’t. That’s a customization
    1
  12472. Are you in the US?
    1
  12473. Hi! Honestly haven’t tested on Hyundai hybrids I would contact the company
    1
  12474. They were going to send me one I haven’t gotten it yet but I looked at it’s specs and looks like it has more customizations capability. I’ll review it when I get it and test it
    1
  12475. Interesting observation. I’ll let them know their website is not very good looking. Don’t think they have a US base of operations
    1
  12476. Hi! That can’t be disabled even with the dealership scan tool
    1
  12477. Hi! I would contact the company and have them send you a full list of features and capabilities for your cars then compare it to that of the 1600 autel to see which one fits your needs. The autel is expensive but they do make good scan tools as well
    1
  12478. That depends on the car. Some will some won’t
    1
  12479. That is a feature that is not available with this one at least for Toyota
    1
  12480. Hi! I’m getting one soon to test it out and might do a review in the future
    1
  12481. I think the D8 which is a model up has it waiting for it to arrive. I would ask the manufacturer if it’s something they want to add in an update
    1
  12482. Not sure if it does work but try it
    1
  12483. This can do a lot of what you need. If I’m not mistaken I think it can initialize the servos I would double check with the company before buying they can verify 100%
    1
  12484. Hi! It cannot so that.
    1
  12485. All makes and mkdels
    1
  12486. Hi! They do have information codes yes
    1
  12487. Hi! In the settings there’s an option for units
    1
  12488. Hi! This doesn’t do OBD1
    1
  12489. Hi! Only the d8
    1
  12490. In the description of the video
    1
  12491. Hi! It’s possible to custom make a circuit to keep it going for a bit but it would be custom made nothing from Toyota
    1
  12492. Where are you from?
    1
  12493. Hi! Do you mean the difference between D7 and D8?
    1
  12494. Hi! It does do more but I haven’t gotten mine to test it and see if it’s worth the extra expense
    1
  12495. Yes it does many other makes and models
    1
  12496. Email is the channel name at gmail or upload it to YouTube
    1
  12497. Hi! What are you trying to find out from the hybrid system? For some reason they break it up in multiple sections. Like hybrid control then hybrid battery…etc you might need to go to multiple areas to get the full data list
    1
  12498. Hi! The D7 is one of their newer models. For specific questions on the tool functionality contact the company
    1
  12499. It should yes. Contact them to verify what exact functions does it cover
    1
  12500. Hi! It’s capable for hybrid cars and it can program keys
    1
  12501. Hi! It should work but contact the manufacturer to see which features are supported
    1
  12502. It should show the data from the two temp sensors
    1
  12503. After the initial free 3 years it’s 99 per year
    1
  12504. I have the file but not sure if the company gives permission to share the file. I would need to ask Them
    1
  12505. I saw something like that but didn’t change them. I would contact the company and see if it’s capable for your specific model
    1
  12506. Hi! Depends on the concern honestly
    1
  12507. In most Models it does
    1
  12508. Depends on the charger. Some of them have a power supply mode where they just supply voltage
    1
  12509. Hi! Xtool A30 is good in my opinion
    1
  12510. It disables ignition and fuel. Then cranks the engine and looks at the rpm of individual cylinder through the crankshaft position sensor. Then it will display individual rpms for each cylinder. The cylinder that goes faster than the rest had low compression because it has less resistance so it spins faster.
    1
  12511. Hi! It does have a graph function but it’s not impressive at all.
    1
  12512. Hi! See on their website the compatible cars and features available
    1
  12513. I would love to get one so I can demonstrate it.
    1
  12514. Hi! Haven’t tried it on that. I’d contact the company to check compatibility
    1
  12515. Hi! There’s a software update that could resolve this. If it’s already been done have the transmission memory reset
    1
  12516. Hi! This is one thing this can’t do and doubt many aftermarket scan tools do either.
    1
  12517. I hear you daniel. It’s not for everyone. I wouldn’t spend the money if you really don’t have the use for it.

  12518. Hi! Contact the company through Amazon for further information. I also have a pinned comment with updated information
    1
  12519. It works on all makes and models
    1
  12520. On some models yes
    1
  12521. This one seems comparable to the mx808 with more features
    1
  12522. It doesn’t
    1
  12523. For some reason coupons don’t work through the Amazon affiliate store. I put the direct link to the scan tool so you can get the discount
    1
  12524. Hi! It does work with many other manufacturers. Contact the company for a full list of compatibility and features
    1
  12525. Hi! Use this link with the code https://amzn.to/3bGT9qo I am changing it now just heard back from the company. And it doesn’t 100% replace techstream lite but gets pretty close and for the price it’s worth it. I am in process of getting another scan tool that’s more expensive but should be a real competitor of techstream. Will be a while to have a video for it as I like to really put these through the paces before making a review
    1
  12526. Hi! You’d want to contact them to verify that it supports your truck but scan gauge works well
    1
  12527. Hi Dave, I respond to emails but not all of them. I get anywhere from 50-200 emails a day. I still answer comments as much as possible hence how I saw your comment. On the live stream I keep going until my voice runs out. I do have 2 full time jobs and a family. Doing my best here. Have a nice day.
    1
  12528. It says it does but I have no way of testing it honestly.
    1
  12529. Hi! When the battery starts failing first multiple warning lights and the engine will run all the tile
    1
  12530. Hi! They support many models including your Mercedes. I would contact the company through Amazon. They’ll be able to give you specific features for your model
    1
  12531. Hi! This one can’t but Carista can
    1
  12532. Hi JT! Thank you! So on the RAV4 prime I did a couple videos focusing on their technical details did you see those? If you did, did you have anything specific for the RAV4 prime that you want to see?
    1
  12533. Hi! I did a review on the D8 recently
    1
  12534. Hi! It doesn’t require an internet connection but to get the updates you’ll need an internet connection
    1
  12535. In this case possibly the xtool D8 but I would contact the company first to verify
    1
  12536. Hi! This one can’t but you can do that with a simple tool like Carista
    1
  12537. Hi! This one is for multiple makes and models.
    1
  12538. I’m seeing a few models not showing up. It seems older models are not showing it. I contacted the company they’re looking into it. Curious do you have the latest update for the scan tool?
    1
  12539. Yes it can
    1
  12540. Hi! I’ll contact the seller and see
    1
  12541. Yes it works
    1
  12542. Hi! There’s no scan tool for body condition.
    1
  12543. Hi my brother! I am glad you and your wife are ok! Too bad for the Camry but she saved your lives!
    1
  12544. Hi! If memory serves right it did say Mini Cooper was listed in the supported models but not sure about exact capabilities. I would contact the company for specifics
    1
  12545. Hi! It is better as it has more customization capabilities. But the D7 for most will be good
    1
  12546. Hi Marjan. 3 year updates which is more than the ones I’ve seen.
    1
  12547. Hi! The 4th generation didn’t have much for AC diagnosis with the scan tool
    1
  12548. All makes and models after 1996
    1
  12549. All manufacturers
    1
  12550. Hi Pat. The only scope I’m familiar with and use is the pico scope. That’s actually a good topic. I’ll add it to the list and research alternatives that are budget friendly
    1
  12551. Not really sure on the Mercedes side
    1
  12552. So the p0456 comes back as well?
    1
  12553. Hi! Erase all codes and see if the 1301 comes back
    1
  12554. I contacted them waiting for their response
    1
  12555. $470
    1
  12556. Hi! Contact the manufacturer for specifics
    1
  12557. No it works on all makes and models
    1
  12558. It does on the models I tested it on
    1
  12559. Hi! You can custom select your data. They do have a graph but it’s not good.
    1
  12560. Hi! It’s geared towards professionals so it won’t show you ranges for normal
    1
  12561. Yes it can retract EPB
    1
  12562. Hi! Contact the company with your vin number for specific features.
    1
  12563. Hi! I would contact the company through Amazon to verify features
    1
  12564. It does not. Only when doing updates.
    1
  12565. I did connect it and it had even more functions including air suspension level cal and transmission adaptations
    1
  12566. Hi! The water pump is not chain driven. If memory serves right it might be electric so not even driven by a belt
    1
  12567. It works for all makes and models
    1
  12568. I’m waiting to get the D8 and will make a video comparison in the future
    1
  12569. Hi! I checked the prices now they’re the same. Are you outside the us?
    1
  12570. It cannot do customizations
    1
  12571. Hi! Contact the company to verify and avoid issues
    1
  12572. I have not tested it on a RAV4 prime. Contact the company directly to see if they have
    1
  12573. It’ll be back they sold out
    1
  12574. Hi! Hard to tell without diagnosis but I would start with testing the 12v battery
    1
  12575. It does cover all makes and models
    1
  12576. Hi! Email with the subject Chicago service request
    1
  12577. No it services all makes and models
    1
  12578. I don’t have experience with the other one. I think the D7 is a comprehensive one for the price
    1
  12579. Try the same code with the number 1 at the end if it doesn’t work try number 2 at the end. If it still doesn’t work let me know as well as where you are from
    1
  12580. It can graph but it’s not that great in my opinion. Doesn’t give you a lot of options as far as the shape of the graph
    1
  12581. Hi! Contact the manufacturer for specific capabilities
    1
  12582. Hi! Contact the company to verify
    1
  12583. On their website
    1
  12584. There’s a link in the description with a discount code. They run out of stock frequently
    1
  12585. I would contact the company for compatibility
    1
  12586. Hi! Is this a Japanese model or a US model made in Japan?
    1
  12587. Yes it does
    1
  12588. Yes of course it can display fuel trims. It has the same active test for fuel trims as well
    1
  12589. Hi! Contact the company for specific information on what the capabilities are as I haven’t tested it on a diesel truck
    1
  12590. Hi Michael! The D8 has a few features more than the D7. I am waiting to get one but haven’t yet. Hearing from the company the only difference is customizations
    1
  12591. Try to click the link not through my store. Are you in the US?
    1
  12592. Hi! The software update is free for 3 years. Waiting for the company to respond if there’s a few after that
    1
  12593. Hi! It does work on all makes and models
    1
  12594. It works on many makes and models. I would contact the company for specifics
    1
  12595. Hi! I don’t delete comments even if they are negative. I don’t see your comment held for review. Could you repost your comment here?
    1
  12596. Hi! The D8 has more features. I’m getting one soon to see exactly what features myself
    1
  12597. Glad I could help Lukas!
    1
  12598. Hi! Hard to tell without hearing it in person but I would check heat shields
    1
  12599. What brand are they? Also I would check bearings if you rule out tires.
    1
  12600. It’s possible that it’s either tire noise or a wheel bearing noise. I would feel the tread of the tires if you feel it smooth or rough passing your hand over it.
    1
  12601. Hi! The same recommendations really. Hybrids you don’t want to buy one that’s been in a bad accident
    1
  12602. Hi! Honestly this one is difficult to diagnose in this format. I would start checking at the back where the repairs were made
    1
  12603. Hi! Which one of the two is still leaking?
    1
  12604. Hi! They are really reliable SUVs just make sure it has good service history and continue to maintain it and you should you have for a long time.
    1
  12605. Hi! I work at a Toyota dealership so yes I work mostly exclusively on Toyota products including lexus and scion
    1
  12606. Hi! Is this a hybrid or non hybrid?
    1
  12607. Hi! Axles or driveshaft if it’s AWD
    1
  12608. Hi! I would make sure you get a good pre purchase inspection
    1
  12609. Toyota fuel pumps are very durable and usually last a very long time interesting that yours went bad at this young age and mileage
    1
  12610. Thank you Mathew! I got just the video for you my brother. Here’s the link for the 2011-2020 sienna video. https://youtu.be/BSI_iA6I4_4
    1
  12611. Hi! The highlander hybrid has a DC/DC converter which is integrated into the inverter assembly. There’s no generator as the main generator is the electric motors to charge the battery. Then the dc/dc converter takes the high voltage and steps it down to 12-14 volts to charge the 12v battery and run the car electronics.
    1
  12612. I am probably very partial to Toyota but I do actually have experience with the Pilot. It's a nice SUV but the highlander if in good shape will edge over it.
    1
  12613. Phil Indeblanc have you checked new from the dealership? Maybe if you shop online?
    1
  12614. Phil Indeblanc I wouldn’t know of a specific epoxy for that. We usually just replace the glass. Have you shopped around for a used glass with the tabs glued on already?
    1
  12615. Hi! Did the engine run out of oil or run low? Did the oil pressure warning light come on? The loud ticking after a ruptured oil cooler hose is usually one or more variable valve timing gears coming apart usually the middle part breaks and starts hitting the front timing cover which makes that ticking noise. Gets much louder if you remove the oil cap with the engine running. Be careful if you do this as it could splash oil. This is a costly repair and I would either address it or move on from the car.
    1
  12616. Honestly a leak is not going to get better it will get worse. If it’s just starting you’re likely not going to see a measurable amount on the dipstick but the problem with rear main seals is that they leak a little then one day without warning just completely fail and now you have measurable oil loss on the dipstick. If you’re getting this at a very good deal then it’s ok otherwise I’d walk.
    1
  12617. Hi! On some models it opens. If you don’t have the button then you don’t have it.
    1
  12618. Hi! Fully warm up the transmission and check it with the engine running
    1
  12619. Hi! Hybrid Toyota’s don’t have a transfer case. Only the front transmission and all wheel drive models will have a rear unit with houses the differential and the electric motor.
    1
  12620. The only thing that is somewhat common is the weatherstrip coming loose and not letting the glass sit right when closed. Usually when you let the window down it comes down with it on the front side near the mirror. If that’s not the case could you record a video of the sound so I can take a listen?
    1
  12621. Likely it’s the normal rattle but let’s be sure. Take your time.
    1
  12622. Rick R depends on the rattle tone and duration. Something that I missed about the 4 cylinder engine is the rattle on cold start up. Could you record a video and send it? These engines did make a slight rattle on start up but if it’s too deep of a grind that lasts a while then it’s the intake variable valve timing gear.
    1
  12623. Hi! If it has good service history and the price is reasonable that’s a good car to buy
    1
  12624. So skip the 12 and consider 14-15 and if possible I would go with 16-18
    1
  12625. Depends on the year. Which year rav4 are you looking at?
    1
  12626. Hi! It’s not a bad car. But neglected they can be problematic as with any car. Buying one that was never cared for and repaired as needed can be a bad idea. When you go to look at one to buy check it against all the issues in this video so you’d know exactly what to look for
    1
  12627. Hi! So far the 2020-2021 has been leak free.
    1
  12628. It has many names. Sometimes called just a buzzer for the wireless receiver or the piezo chirp
    1
  12629. It’s right behind the drivers side headlight
    1
  12630. Hi! You mean the beeper when you lock and unlock the doors with the remote?
    1
  12631. Crypto88 you got it! Thank you for watching!
    1
  12632. It shouldn’t be an issue they’re the same
    1
  12633. qball2000able will do! Working on it
    1
  12634. Hi’ depends on the problem that you had
    1
  12635. That could be something with the strut or strut mount.
    1
  12636. Zeezen thank you! Nothing against the 2010. The only reason it didn’t make the list is the engine maintenance costs due to the timing belt. Also buying it used today the difference between it and the 2011 is minimal.
    1
  12637. Hi! Why was the rack replaced?
    1
  12638. Thank you Stephane! I think the corolla you have is awesome! I hope it serves you for years to come!
    1
  12639. Thank you so much for watching my videos! So the 2022 is likely a carryover from 2020-2021. If there’s an update you’ll likely see it in 2023-2024 model years
    1
  12640. It will come in the future
    1
  12641. Thank you for watching my videos! Enjoy your weekend!
    1
  12642. It should yes
    1
  12643. It could be a slightly bent wheel. A slight vibration in the seat could be normal depending on how severe it is
    1
  12644. Thank you for watching my video. So the wheel bearing will be more of a roughness and a consistent vibration in the floor of the car. The faster you drive the worse it gets and never changes. If that’s the vibration or roughness that you feel I’d have your mechanic check the rear wheel bearings. Otherwise you’d want your tires and wheels checked first. There’s a specific tire balance called road force balancing that needs done. This requires a special machine and a knowledgeable mechanic to resolve the issue.
    1
  12645. I would have to look at labor times but that’s not a simple job. Engine removal and disassembly is needed
    1
  12646. That could be valve guide seals which needs replacement
    1
  12647. Hi! At this mileage I would leave it alone as you could do more harm than good
    1
  12648. Hi! That’s actually a normal condition and it is like that by design. Many folks don’t like this but that’s how they designed it. You’ll need to push the buttons to open it but when using the small rubber button at the door it opens manually on that generation highlander
    1
  12649. Hi! I would check the coolant level and try to get a scan tool to check the actual temperature of the coolant
    1
  12650. Hi! I would need to listen to the noise to tell. Record a video upload it and replay with a link
    1
  12651. Thank you for watching my videos! Sequoias are really good SUVs they’re getting a bit old in design but they are solid with good maintenance
    1
  12652. Hi! If the price is right it can be a good car
    1
  12653. Check tires and sticking brakes next.
    1
  12654. Hi! You’ll need to scan it for codes
    1
  12655. Hi! New pistons, rings and piston jets and all needed gaskets.
    1
  12656. That sounds reasonable
    1
  12657. Hi! You’ll need to inspect for the leak and repair it
    1
  12658. Nothing else to ask for. First rotate the tires and see if they’re causing a pull. Also the body plugs look underneath the car for any that are missijg
    1
  12659. Hi dave! I would double check the oil cooler like but usually no towing package models don’t have it. Also on the smell Toyota sells a kit to clean the hvac box which works well
    1
  12660. Hi! The rx400 has a different engine similar to the hybrid model of the early highlanders before 2011
    1
  12661. Hi! Honestly at this mileage the most I would do is a drain and fill
    1
  12662. Is it a 4 cylinder or 6 cylinder? Send me a video of the noise to my email. I wanna see how severe it is before I give you options.
    1
  12663. Honestly we could never get a straight answer on this one from Toyota. Worse now that it’s older. It’s either a design issue with the gear which was improved later or the issue is poor maintenance causing clogging inside the gear. Maintenance is very important on these engines to prevent issues. We’ve taken both 2008 and 2015 gears from the same engine and they look identical inside and out. Unless we missed the change they look the same.
    1
  12664. The 2008 is an ok year to buy as long as the gears are not rattling on cold start up
    1
  12665. Thank you Joseph! Hope you’re doing well my brother.
    1
  12666. Drive until you hear the noise and swerve left and right safely. If the noise comes Louder and then lower it’s possible it’s a bearing. If it stays the same likely it’s ties
    1
  12667. Sorry I missed your comment. That is the fuel I use in my cars and don’t have any problems with it. You might get up to 10% ethanol but that is acceptable in this case. If you can get access to fuel that is completely ethanol free that would be best. But don’t go out of your way to do that either.
    1
  12668. They should have top tier as the supplier is the brand that the gas station has
    1
  12669. I think it has to do with the supplier more than the station
    1
  12670. Top tier brands can be found here https://toptiergas.com/licensed-brands/
    1
  12671. Hi! Because of the evap system setup. It needs to prepare the system for refueling. If the engine is running and purging is happening that preparing can’t happen
    1
  12672. Hi! Ethanol free gas is the best honestly
    1
  12673. Hi! No ethanol gasoline is actually the best for any car! If you have it available in your area I would 100% use it. If your tundra is flex fuel please look for the changing the fuel type instructions in your owners manual
    1
  12674. I would switch the brand of gasoline that you have and see if it changes with 87
    1
  12675. Hi! That’s interesting it shouldn’t be the case unless the fuel is bad. What was their recommendation afterwards and how’s the car running now?
    1
  12676. Hi! It can be but it’s not recommended
    1
  12677. Hi! Premium gas wouldn’t really do anything different in this case unless you live in an area where premium gas is ethanol free. Every 6-8 weeks is a good fuel recycling schedule so I would keep it up and not worry.
    1
  12678. I would use top tier gasoline. Your tacoma is ok with 87
    1
  12679. Hi! It shouldn’t be an issue with either as the car is rated for both
    1
  12680. Hi! Honestly 87 will do. A very slight difference with 91. Try it and see if you notice a difference
    1
  12681. Hi! Up to 15% ethanol. Most gas in the states is up to 10%
    1
  12682. Depends where your trip is at. Do you see counter counting?
    1
  12683. Hi! They are rated for regular and should work fine with regular gas
    1
  12684. If it knocks with 87 it’s either bad gas or there are issues with the car. This is of course for a car designed to work on 87
    1
  12685. Stabil works better when storing gas
    1
  12686. You can use 87 without issues.
    1
  12687. Hi! Batteries typically last up to 5 years. Perhaps you had a defective one? I would go with the 550cca
    1
  12688. Same here in Chicago
    1
  12689. Hi! Do you live in an area of high altitude?
    1
  12690. Does premium in your area has no ethanol?
    1
  12691. Hi! You can use stabil and premium and go through all that additional cost and headache or just consider a lazy week out of the month where you don’t charge it and use hybrid mode to cycle the gas and all issues are resolved. That is really the ideal solution with the best outcome. Everything else works but just barely
    1
  12692. Interesting. Is this a US model?
    1
  12693. Hi! Which model?
    1
  12694. Hi! Record a video and share it with the dealership. Honestly I would have to hear it to know if it’s normal or not
    1
  12695. Hi! Ethanol free gas is better for any car.
    1
  12696. Hi! What david meant is toyota has the same spec for that specific market everywhere.
    1
  12697. Honestly it depends. Usually upwards of 18 hours of labor plus parts
    1
  12698. The ES RX are not exclusive to Japan.
    1
  12699. Hi! No experience with these models except the one made in turkey the CHr which is good so far
    1
  12700. So far so good. A few issues here and there. The 2021 model had an oil consumption issue but have calmed down as of late
    1
  12701. You’ll need to push it back as it could get caught and damaged
    1
  12702. Hi! The rubber on the pins or the caliper piston?
    1
  12703. You’ll need to swap 4 wheels and tires from another car to rule out wheel issues
    1
  12704. It’s not a bad idea just know that many things are not made or designed by Toyota
    1
  12705. Not very difficult no
    1
  12706. Hi! It’s possible it’s the same issue. Any modifications?
    1
  12707. Hi! They’re good and the NA factor wouldn’t affect my decision. Now the Awd it does feel a bit heavier driving but for the benefit of AWD if you need it
    1
  12708. Hi! Most people use this wording but it actually isn’t the case always. Local junkyard has engines from local cars that has been in accidents not really imported from Japan
    1
  12709. The chipping will affect all models regardless. They use very thin paint
    1
  12710. Hi! Honestly I am not familiar with that model as it’s not sold in my area
    1
  12711. Hi! I think in the automotive business the majority of focus is around ease of manufacturing which in some cases has a byproduct of making maintenance and repair easier
    1
  12712. Hi! Honestly I wouldn’t trust a drain valve. If it fails it could seriously damage the engine
    1
  12713. Hi! It could take a while but you’ll get it eventually.
    1
  12714. Only model made in turkey is the CHR and it’s good so far
    1
  12715. Hi! I wouldn’t be.
    1
  12716. Hi! I don’t have much experience with the frontier to share honestly.
    1
  12717. That is correct they do have another plant opened around that time
    1
  12718. Hi! The factory that makes the Tacoma in mexico has been around since 2002.
    1
  12719. Depends where you are. In the US certain models were exclusively made in Japan and some were never made in Japan. Example the 4runner is always made in Japan while the Tacoma and tundra was never made in japan
    1
  12720. I don’t see a correlation. People who buy Tacomas usually aren’t bothered by it since there hasn’t been a Tacoma made in Japan
    1
  12721. Hi! Unfortunately I don’t have a video for that one yet. It’s very similar to a 2013-2018 Avalon. The vent is located on the drivers side of the back seat. If you don’t see a filter through the vent likely it’s not equipped but you can add one to it
    1
  12722. Hi! It somewhat applies but the vent setup might be a bit different
    1
  12723. Hi! Thank you! If I get a highlander hybrid for the job of cleaning the fans I will film it
    1
  12724. Hi! It might be a battery issue I would get the codes checked as soon as possinle
    1
  12725. I am actively looking for cars to film with. Once I get one I’ll post a video
    1
  12726. Likely that exhaust leak is either flex pipe or by the first hanger after the flex pipe. Very common for those
    1
  12727. I know you have one of these Camry hybrids! 😂 hope she’s behaving after the battery.
    1
  12728. 2007 Camry hybrid doesn’t have one? Can you verify the code and what are the symptoms?
    1
  12729. Yes you can get a filter for your 2013 and oem. The part number is G92DH-33020 and it fits over the vent on the outside installs in 2 seconds
    1
  12730. Hi chuck! I am actively looking for a Camry hybrid in the Chicago area to film with. Once I get one you’ll see a video out
    1
  12731. Thank you! Yes so some Avalon’s will have a filter and some wont. Once I get an Avalon hybrid to film the video with you’ll see how to change it or install one if you already have one
    1
  12732. I hear you. In the beginning years of hybrid models some of them weren’t designed to have a serviceable filter but newer ones are easier because they are designed with that in mind
    1
  12733. If you’re referring to the other one. That one is part of the vent and is not the primary one.
    1
  12734. The filter number is G92DH-33010.
    1
  12735. Typically up to an hour labor
    1
  12736. Hi! Here’s a video specific to your car https://youtu.be/0GpbRdiI65A
    1
  12737. Hi! If the company you’re looking at is reputable and offers a good warranty I would give them a shot
    1
  12738. The part that flips on the vent has a fine mesh built into it.
    1
  12739. Hi! It’s similar but not exactly the same. I am actively looking for an Avalon hybrid in the Chicago area to film a similar video with. Once I find one I’ll post it
    1
  12740. Hi! At this mileage you’re good to change it
    1
  12741. Hi! Yes you can regular tires with the same size. It’s not really designed around the run flats
    1
  12742. Hi! Honestly I don’t have experience with that battery to share. If you have no use for it and never had issues with the original battery just buy a similar battery and call it a day.
    1
  12743. Hi! On hybrids you can change the fluid at any time unlike a regular automatic transmission
    1
  12744. Yes it is
    1
  12745. Hi! Unfortunately the customer is not doing anything at this time.
    1
  12746. Hi! Does it do this when revving at a stop or just drivingv
    1
  12747. Hi! It’s made by bendpak and it’s called quick jack. It comes with everything except the oil
    1
  12748. It’s made in Japan for the US market. It is miles.
    1
  12749. Hi! Email with the subject Chicago service request
    1
  12750. Hi! So far nothing. They wanted to do the mount but due to scheduling delays they decided not.
    1
  12751. Hi! Honestly I would change the belt and water pump first then tackle the fluids
    1
  12752. Hi! Yes but not spraying directly at electrical connectors
    1
  12753. Thank you!
    1
  12754. Hi! Email me with the subject Chicago service request
    1
  12755. Hi! Yes I do
    1
  12756. Let’s do it! Are you near chicagoland?
    1
  12757. Thecarcarenut at gmail dot com
    1
  12758. Hi! Email with the subject Chicago service request
    1
  12759. Hi! These are really good trucks if they’re not in the rust belt. Don’t buy a rusty one. The 4.7 is a great engine. Make sure the timing belt is done on time which can be costly
    1
  12760. Hi! They did not want to replace the shocks at this time
    1
  12761. Hi! It’s a quickjack by bendpak
    1
  12762. Hi! How’s the fluid condition? Was it ever changed?
    1
  12763. Hi! If the wheel bearings make no noise don’t replace them
    1
  12764. This one is the thinkcar pro I did a review on it a few weeks back
    1
  12765. Hi! Door harnesses need replacement. Not very difficult to do
    1
  12766. Hi! Yes I would change the transmission fluid and coolant
    1
  12767. If memory serves right it’s likely a 4 speed
    1
  12768. Hi! Likely a gear contact issue but not something I would worry too much about
    1
  12769. Very true!
    1
  12770. The component we inspected is the purge valve?
    1
  12771. Hi! I would change the oil and pay for it. Rust proofing is not as needed in your specific car as it’s well covered
    1
  12772. In certain areas like Chicagoland every 2 years
    1
  12773. Hi! Email with the subject Chicago service request
    1
  12774. Corolla cross is bigger
    1
  12775. Hi! It’s an emissions feature it can’t be turned off permanently through the correct channels
    1
  12776. Hi! It could be normal yes.
    1
  12777. Hi! Many factors affect it. How you drive, weather in your area and driving conditions
    1
  12778. They’re both similar reliability wise with the C-HR being smaller than the corolla cross.
    1
  12779. Hey my brother! I’m doing well! How are you? Hope your health is better.
    1
  12780. Hi! It doesn’t have it. Just a regular cooling system
    1
  12781. Not in the US model
    1
  12782. It’s expensive because it sits inside the car and it’s a sealed battery with a vent for safety.
    1
  12783. Hi! If the car starts regardless of the message check the 12v battery
    1
  12784. It’s not too terrible but heavy snow it is just like any front wheel drive car
    1
  12785. I haven’t really seen any. A few mirrors coming off the glass initially when they came out otherwise just maintenance
    1
  12786. Hi! Options mainly.I would look at the different options that you want and choose.
    1
  12787. Hi! You don’t want to wait for signs for fluid replacement as if you do wait for noise or howling it’s too late and damage has already happened
    1
  12788. Hi! Yes you can they’re inexpensive to replace
    1
  12789. Hi! If it’s specifically written in the owners manual then I would follow it in this case
    1
  12790. They use gear oil GL5 75w85/90
    1
  12791. Hi! Unfortunately we don’t have that model here so I won’t have information on it
    1
  12792. 75w85 should work fine
    1
  12793. Hi! On the 2WD model you only have the rear differential to service
    1
  12794. That is one exception.
    1
  12795. Hi! Any oil leaks?
    1
  12796. Hi! Techinfo.Toyota.com for service information
    1
  12797. Hi! Should be around 2-3 quarts
    1
  12798. Hi! Just atf fluid
    1
  12799. Hi! There are some supply issues but nothing is on back order yet just slowly trickling in
    1
  12800. Hi! Different video for that one. Find it here https://youtu.be/I1fP-RKsqG0
    1
  12801. Hi! The A0003
    1
  12802. They should be able to. Give them all the information on the issue though
    1
  12803. So this is a false activation of the traction control. Some diagnosis is needed to isolate if it’s an issue with a wheel speed sensor first
    1
  12804. The car is slipping and that’s the traction control is taking over. Is the road slippery?
    1
  12805. Hi! Any warning lights or history of traction control activation?
    1
  12806. Hi! Same way but make sure you’re using the right fluid
    1
  12807. Hi! Yes and they would the same aluminum washers part numbers listed in this video
    1
  12808. Hi! If you press the gas pedal in park does the engine rev up or no?
    1
  12809. Hi! Which model?
    1
  12810. Hi! You can use a vacuum extractor
    1
  12811. Hi! They’re very common to leak on the Venza. Usually the vent will plug up and push the seals out. Replacing the seals is needed but also cleaning the vent which is usually automatically done when the seals are replaced but you might want to ask them about it
    1
  12812. Hi! Yes here it is https://youtu.be/eRxSu4-4ojo
    1
  12813. Hi! Yes it needs to be level
    1
  12814. Hi! The same. You just need to be aware of the different fluid requirement
    1
  12815. It might be part of the tail light
    1
  12816. Hi! The dealership should have it
    1
  12817. Hi! Get it scanned for codes to see.
    1
  12818. Hi! 12 is more than enough
    1
  12819. 75w85
    1
  12820. Hi! They would be the same ones listed in the video
    1
  12821. Hi! It does. Use the correct washer for the correct application
    1
  12822. You could but rust on the rust belt will always find a way.
    1
  12823. Hi! Even though you don’t use these systems they still have rotating masses inside of them
    1
  12824. Just over a quart I would get two
    1
  12825. Hi! Yes that would be good.
    1
  12826. Hi! They usually bundle it into one service
    1
  12827. The rear motor is a motor generator so it can drive and generate during regen braking.
    1
  12828. Hi! On water pumps their rate of failure is not as high. Usually high mileage examples with no or unknown service history on the coolant
    1
  12829. Hi! No that shouldn’t be an issue. Regular and frequent storage of 1 month or more is when it becomes an issue
    1
  12830. Hi Lou! Thank you! About the running boards that's odd that they couldn't find it. Email me your VIN no. and let me see what I can find. And regarding the E Mode could it be EV mode? If that's the case then this allows you to drive the car full electric for a very short distance at lower speeds. Basically you can use that in slow traffic to save gas.
    1
  12831. Hi! Use S mode as needed.
    1
  12832. The hybrid is defiantly similar or better than the previous 4 cylinder model power wise.
    1
  12833. It’s the same as B mode just at a varied level
    1
  12834. Hi! Sorry but I don’t have experience with honda hybrids to know they’re issues.
    1
  12835. Very good question paul. I don’t see a reason why that’s not possible however I’d feel a bit nervous about it honestly. It doesn’t hurt the car to go back and forth when driving down a hill. But doing that in flat areas just to slow the car down is not recommended.
    1
  12836. Honestly I don’t see the link between a fluid change and b mode as B mode uses the motors and the dead weight of the engine?
    1
  12837. B stands for Brake mode as in engine braking.....
    1
  12838. Hi! There’s no rear differential on 2014 Camry hybrid as it’s 2WD
    1
  12839. Hi! If you still see the other coolant then drain and fill it with original coolant
    1
  12840. Hi! I don’t but you can utilize the s mode which will use engine braking when going downhill
    1
  12841. Hi! The ignition system is a standard coil over plug that runs off of the 12v system
    1
  12842. Possible. Try it next time at higher speeds
    1
  12843. And when you’re at around 35 mph and let go of the gas the engine doesn’t rev up?
    1
  12844. Hi! Did the indicator show that it’s in B mode?
    1
  12845. I’ll give you a better resource than me and Weber auto. Go to techinfo.Toyota.com purchase a day subscription which will give you access to the official information from Toyota. Navigate first to library and select the car you want to know about then go to new car features always go to the first model year of the model to get full information. Then go to technical training and enter the model and search through the technical training information. You’ll be there for a few days and might have a slight headache because the information there is meant for technicians and most of the time is not reader friendly. But it will go into great depth.
    1
  12846. Mg1 doesn’t generate when the engine is off. They are mechanically connected so every time mg1 spins so does the engine and vice versa. The engine creates a drag when each of the pistons is on the compression stroke with both valves closed and the piston is moving to top dead center.
    1
  12847. Thank you for your comment. Mg1 is not directly propelled by the wheels it is directly connected to the engine on a mechanical connection that is not broken on hybrid only models. Mg1 doesn’t drive the car, it only generates and holds and spins the engine. When the engine is on and providing positive torque then mg1 is being driven by the engine to generate. In b mode mg 1 spins the engine to use its compression as dead weight to slow the car. Regen braking goes to maximum but it also uses a lot of energy to spin the engine so it becomes counterproductive. In regular regen braking mg2 is being driven by the wheels to generate. Only time mg1 charges the battery is when the engine is running.
    1
  12848. Hi! Cold weather will affect gas mileage on hybrids but they do well in cold weather
    1
  12849. There has never been a hybrid model with a dedicated motor for each wheel. Maybe each axle (MG2 for front MGR for rear) very nice marketing department....
    1
  12850. It will just operate max regen braking
    1
  12851. Not from the dealership level
    1
  12852. Hi! s mode replaces B mode and gives you more control
    1
  12853. Hi! You can change it but it will affect your gas mileage
    1
  12854. Thank you for watching my video! Congratulations on your RAV4 hybrid purchase! I’ll add your suggestion to the list thank you!
    1
  12855. If you accelerate at highway speeds it will not charge but use the power to drive. If you let off a little bit it will start charging. If the battery charge is low it will prioritize charging than driving
    1
  12856. If it’s used excessively then yes it can harm it. Cases of excessive use have seen egg shaped cylinder walls
    1
  12857. Hi! Yes you can
    1
  12858. Not only that but when they are needed. Regen braking doesn’t work as well at lower speeds or very hard stops
    1
  12859. Hi! Yes the S mode is essentially a varied level of B mode
    1
  12860. For the 2016 Prius since it sits under the hood yes it’s a standard battery.
    1
  12861. High oil level typically won’t show up immediately. It will have some extra oil in the intake but if the high oil level doesn’t continue it shouldn’t cause issues
    1
  12862. Hi! Oil change, tire rotation and brake inspection. If this is a non sport model clean and adjust rear brakes is optional but recommended. General inspection especially for tire condition. Filters should’ve been replaced at this point but wouldn’t hurt to check them to be sure and a quick battery test as well. Should be about it.
    1
  12863. Hi! What is the code?
    1
  12864. Hi! Yes that wouldn’t be a bad idea. I’ll have a video out for it in the near future
    1
  12865. Thecarcarenut@gmail.com
    1
  12866. Hi! Email with Chicago service request in subject
    1
  12867. Hi! I wouldn’t use compressed air unless the fan is out of the car as you will push the debris inside the battery
    1
  12868. Did you sign anything at the time of admission stating the price of the service?
    1
  12869. Hi! Yes you can.
    1
  12870. Hi! Could you explain your question further?
    1
  12871. Hi! Most toyotas don’t have a serviceable fuel filter.
    1
  12872. Some dealerships are like that. Curious what they told you about the leak did they mention what it was?
    1
  12873. How’s the inside of the rotor look? And did you replace the shoes?
    1
  12874. This will need in person diagnosis honestly hard to tell from the video or pictures
    1
  12875. I wonder if the shoes are getting stuck on the rusty and bent backing plate
    1
  12876. Hi! It doesn’t look like they’re moving properly. Is there anything seized?
    1
  12877. Hi! Most if not all manufacturers are the same when it comes to wiring material
    1
  12878. Some of these are sensitive to the interference and might set codes for sensors then it goes away
    1
  12879. Hi! Which year?
    1
  12880. Hi! For ease of cleaning and instead of cleaning the fan, you could opt to install the filter
    1
  12881. Hi! Likely not. The Avalon didn’t adapt them until later. You’ll want to clean the fan one time then install a filter
    1
  12882. Thanks posted in the description. Here’s the link https://youtu.be/noE98WzXQSg
    1
  12883. Hi! It’s not continental. Ask for technician Tom at continental he’s a very good MDT
    1
  12884. So far no issues
    1
  12885. That’s actually not bad at all. But that consumption does contribute to the oil getting dirty quick. I am unbiased and if a dealership messed up I’ll call them out, but in this case honestly it might be normal for the oil to get dirty this quick. I would check the oil right before they replace it then immediately after to know for sure if they did replace
    1
  12886. Hi! At this mileage and that engine that could be normal honestly. Does it burn oil?
    1
  12887. Agreed it absolutely does nothing! But if it’s there let’s put it back 😉
    1
  12888. Hi! I personally don’t like them but as a car they’re ok. They have few common issues and typically are not cared for by their owners. Driven hard, minimally maintained and wrongfully modified is the norm.
    1
  12889. Hi! There’s no factory oil filter available for sale. Others you’ll need to look them up using your vin on parts.Toyota.com
    1
  12890. Hi! Hard to tell without testing the coolant itself. Look for coolant on the drain for the radiator
    1
  12891. Honestly I don’t understand it either. Either they’re filling with the wrong capacity or the gun that fills the oil is out of calibration and they’re not checking it after filling.
    1
  12892. That is the service plug. It is pulled when you’re working on the hybrid system to open the circuit of the battery as a safety measure
    1
  12893. Hi! So far I haven’t seen issues with the plastic valve covers. A series coming up this Saturday on the Tacoma will have a lot more information
    1
  12894. Hi! It’s very simple. Just fill it up with coolant and run it at 1500rpm until both coolant hoses on the radiator are the same temperature
    1
  12895. Hi! I don’t. They’re normally hard to clean and most won’t clean them well
    1
  12896. Hi! Yes it is
    1
  12897. Hi! Does it happen more when it’s cold? Or on a hot day after some driving?
    1
  12898. You could loop it
    1
  12899. I’m sorry about the issues with your Mazda. Looking to switch to a Toyota?
    1
  12900. Some aftermarket coolants are compatible with the original fluid. I wouldn’t flush it now. Wait for the next replacement then use original fluid.
    1
  12901. When this becomes a problem it’s a pretty bad one. I’ve seen it on cars around 100k-150k that’s not very high mileage for a Camry. My opinion is the 10k oil change some might disagree but that’s why I see working on these cars everyday. It gets so bad that the cylinder walls are scratched so even a rebuild is not possible. A new block or short block would be needed.
    1
  12902.  @booty9565  Since the car was maintained properly there's no issues. People often went the 10k miles before oil changes following the manual and over the years that led to oil consumption and pretty bad when it happens.
    1
  12903. Hi Kevin! If you bought it from a Toyota dealership mechanic I think you’re good. Likely he got the engine fixed under the campaign which means as long as you keep up the maintenance you’ll have this car for a very long time without issues.
    1
  12904. I would. Also if possible look into oil cleaning products as they could help with the oil burning.
    1
  12905. It shouldn’t be below full when the engine is fully warmed up
    1
  12906. Unfortunately there’s no easy way to know when buying it unless you drive it and find out. The price is ok if the car is in excellent condition
    1
  12907. Hi! Check your oil level.
    1
  12908. Hi! I would ask for service history. You’d want to see consistent oil change history. Also look at the oil condition. Does it look overly dark? All these are important because this engine develops oil burning problems if not maintained right
    1
  12909. There’s no way to know if it’s burning oil other than maintenance history and actually driving it
    1
  12910. The 2arfe did have oil consumption issues if maintenance was not done properly. It is actually worse than the previous engines if maintenance is neglected. That’s why I recommend 5k oil changes.
    1
  12911. motleydude73 that’s good to hear! Over here in the US some owners has not been as lucky with excessive oil burning problems. I hope your car lasts for a very long time without issues.
    1
  12912. I’m glad it doesn’t burn. This is a very common issue on an otherwise a very nice car. If I may ask how long did you own the car? Which market is the car from?
    1
  12913. David Perez you’re welcome! Good luck with the car hunt!
    1
  12914. No Regrets I couldn’t access the CarFax could you send email it?
    1
  12915. That’s interesting I’d take it back to them. Sometimes resetting the memory of the transmission with the scan tool helps after a fluid replacement
    1
  12916. Did you set the level?
    1
  12917. As long as it passed emissions in the end you’re good. That last oil change is 3-4 years old! That’s too much
    1
  12918. Not my first recommendation but with low mileage and good maintenance it can be good
    1
  12919. I would go with the Camry if it’s over 2012. No real experience for me with Hyundai so I can’t really help with that one
    1
  12920. Hi! For Uber I would look for a lower mileage 2015 and up Prius. For Camry look for 2012 and up hybrid. The batteries do last but you’d need to keep an eye on the cooling fan of the battery
    1
  12921. No. The 10-11 has a different engine which also can have oil burning Problems
    1
  12922. Hi! If you can find one that’s well maintained and doesn’t burn oil then yes. Otherwise 2015-2017 is best in my opinion
    1
  12923. It can be expensive original
    1
  12924. Be careful updating the software with a fake cable it could damage the engine computer
    1
  12925. The engine dying after the battery disconnect once is normal. The immobilizer needs to communicate and it kills the engine is it didn’t yet. I’m glad it’s better.
    1
  12926. Around that time Toyota switched to a permanent memory where even if you disconnect the battery it won’t erase the trans memory I don’t remember the exact year. If your idle seems too low or shaking at idle you might want to clean the throttle body to resolve after a battery disconnect or after a week or so of driving it will relearn the idle.

  12927. I would try to do a transmission memory reset. You’d need a Toyota scan tool or a very capable aftermarket scanner to do so and see if things improve. Otherwise I would just drive it and worry too much.

  12928. Hi! What kind of video for the v6 are you looking for?
    1
  12929. Hi! The v6 consumes more but it’s not terrible if you take it easy. On the highway it’s a lot better
    1
  12930. So on the 2AR rattle on cold start. There’s a slight rattle that’s normal then there’s that deep metallic rattling that lasts from 2-5 seconds is the one that’s a problem. Record a video of your cold start and email it and ill tell you which one of the two you got.
    1
  12931. They’re good if maintained however they can burn oil
    1
  12932. Thats odd. Does it go away when you change the oil?
    1
  12933. Video is set to private
    1
  12934. Hi! You can! The channel name at gmail. Just know that it will take me a while to get back to you. It would be easier to upload it to YouTube and comment with the link
    1
  12935. Hi! The v6 model is good just check it for leaks and look for service history
    1
  12936. Hi! You could but it’s very tight. Much easier just to pull the plenum off. I have a video for that
    1
  12937. Good morning!
    1
  12938. Hi! The older cars had a different system. And it’s not possible to bypass that because of a design limitation
    1
  12939. It should still work don’t know what’s their deal with ecstuning
    1
  12940. The one I have still works. I’ll look into it for you
    1
  12941. Hi! I reviewed a scan tool that’s diagnosis capable. But something like a blue driver or Carista can do well in inspections
    1
  12942. Hi! Not yet will come in the future
    1
  12943. Hi! I did a review on that generation corolla find it here https://youtu.be/f06p3n8pNTA
    1
  12944. With pressure applied look for droplets forming from the head gasket
    1
  12945. Is it between the engine and transmission?
    1
  12946. Hi! A 2012 Camry doesn’t have a transfer case. Is the plastic cover between the engine and transmission?
    1
  12947. Hi! They take regular
    1
  12948. Haircut time!
    1
  12949. Unfortunately yes some models are
    1
  12950. Hi! I have.
    1
  12951. On the ES in 2019
    1
  12952. They’re not available in the us unfortunately
    1
  12953. Thank you Ed! The NX is highly requested and likely going to be the next Lexus featured.
    1
  12954. Hi! You’ll need to scan it for codes for TPmS to see what’s going on. It’s possible that one or more sensor batteries are dying
    1
  12955. Hi! Could elaborate further
    1
  12956. Hi! Most issues are resolved. If you are in the rust belt I would coat the outside of the frame and you’re good to go
    1
  12957. Hi! Takes off even with your foot on the brake?
    1
  12958. Hi! Protective clear wrap
    1
  12959. It shouldn’t be this way. Only way to test it is to raise the car and see if the rear wheel is disengaging completely or it’s dragging
    1
  12960. Hi! So if you have the parking brake in auto mode it should disengage as soon as you shift out of park. Is it not doing that?
    1
  12961. Hi! If your hybrid Toyota is equipped with EPB then it’s the exact same procedure
    1
  12962. Did you pull and hold it after you were done?
    1
  12963. It will work and lock up the wheels if you operate it
    1
  12964. Hi! I’ll check. Which year?
    1
  12965. The car I used in this video is a push button start
    1
  12966. Hi Vince! I would just replace the boot kit and call it a day. The reman axle is more expensive original than a book kit
    1
  12967. If it has electronic parking brake this procedure should work
    1
  12968. Hi! Which model Yaris do you have? The us model?
    1
  12969. Thank you William!
    1
  12970. Hi! I don’t have access to honda information but pretty sure there’s a similar procedure to retract the motor
    1
  12971. Hi! Yes you can pressure bleed it. Just make sure the electronic parking brake is disengaged
    1
  12972. Yes it does
    1
  12973. Hi! Car off
    1
  12974. Best way to take care of it is to have it set on automatic and use it all the time to prevent it from seizing up
    1
  12975. Hi! Yes it’s the same for hybrid models equipped with electronic parking brake
    1
  12976. Hi! Try the procedure on your car and see if it takes
    1
  12977. Hi! There are many good brands out there. I personally don’t use anything other than original pads as they are not that much more and the economy line is actually comparable. Akebono and advics are good
    1
  12978. Hi! There’s no need to disconnect the battery as it won’t affect anything.
    1
  12979. Hi! No need to disconnect the 12v battery. Once the parking brake is in this mode it will stay there until you pull and hold the button
    1
  12980. Hi! The first number is factory semi Metalic the second one is economy ceramics
    1
  12981. Yes it does
    1
  12982. Hi. Every make will have their own procedure for EPB release. I don’t know the procedure for Mitsubishi as I work exclusively for Toyota
    1
  12983. Hi! The LS is different as it uses an actuator to pull the cable for the parking brake. So no special procedure is required on that one
    1
  12984. It should be yes
    1
  12985. Hi! I will eventually do a video on the new dynamic force engine coolant when I get one in the shop. On the manual for new cars techinfo.Toyota.com
    1
  12986. This doesn’t apply to it. That Lexus had a different system that doesn’t require this procedure and is a normal brake replacement. The electronic parking brake on those used a different setup that just pulled the cables
    1
  12987. Ehhh.... that’s not a good idea with Toyota Lexus. Don’t know about others.
    1
  12988. Depends which caliper you have. The screw in style caliper had a cable attached to it. That one you just rotate in and out. This one has an electrical motor that pushes it in and out. Try to compress the caliper with a motor without retracting it and you’ll damage one or both
    1
  12989. Hi! It’s a 2021 RAV4 non hybrid
    1
  12990. Hi! It should be the same procedure
    1
  12991. Hi! Usually nosies on new cars are small things. I would take it back to the dealership and have them take a listen
    1
  12992. Hi! If they’re not below minimum thickness and don’t have excessive rust build up then resurface and reuse
    1
  12993. Hi! I don’t have one but it’s on the list and requested by many. In the meantime you could use some engine sealer silicone on top of the connector to hold in place
    1
  12994. Hi! Sometimes it takes longer especially if the weather is cold for the thermostat to actually open
    1
  12995. That is correct
    1
  12996. Unfortunately the RX350 in that generation doesn’t list this procedure so the only way to do this safely is to use a scan tool
    1
  12997. Hi! Yes you still do. You won’t be able to push the piston back without putting the motor in service mode
    1
  12998. Hi! When it’s in park the parking pawl is engaged so nothing really is moving inside the transmission just the oil pump.
    1
  12999. I would have the car checked if it’s under warranty. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a thermostat issue
    1
  13000. Do you have a check engine light? That could be an issue with your thermostat which we’ve seen a few already
    1
  13001. Hi! What’s the outside temperature?
    1
  13002. At your earliest convenience get it looked at
    1
  13003. You’ll need to have it recalibrated to work again
    1
  13004. Anything recently done and what kind of car is it
    1
  13005. You can clear it or the code will go into history on its own
    1
  13006. It should be under car info where your mileage and trips are if you cycle through that menu you should find it
    1
  13007. Hi! Depends on how the old tires were. If they were abnormally worn I would check the alignment
    1
  13008. Go to tire rack and search for your model as if you’re searching for tires then select oe tires and you’ll see the original tires
    1
  13009. Hi! Honestly you’re better off with all season tires for economy cars. Summer tires are usually used for performance because even though you don’t have snow you might still have rain
    1
  13010. I wouldn’t change them unless they wear which they will quicker than normal
    1
  13011. Hi! I would not exceed 37 psi on your Prius as you’ll get the best of both worlds. You don’t want to inflate to the max tire pressure allowed as when the tire warms up you’ll exceed it
    1
  13012. Hi! With some tires it’s bit a coincidence with some yes. Now how much time did it take you to put 20k miles?
    1
  13013. Hi! Honestly I would highly recommend it around the 7 year mark
    1
  13014. Hi thomas! What would say your top requirement of a tire? Smooth ride or better handling?
    1
  13015. Thecarcarenut@gmail.com
    1
  13016. If you have symptoms do an alignment if not I would leave it alone
    1
  13017. Hi! Go to tirerack.com and enter your car information then select oe tires
    1
  13018. Hi! That condition is called pad shift and it is normal. On your model Camry it is louder than normal and that’s the way the car is
    1
  13019. Hi! I would drain the fluid as it could cause balance issues which should’ve been done if the tire was professionally repaired. And you can use an aftermarket kit it’s the same
    1
  13020. Not always. It’s recommended for Awd models
    1
  13021. Hi! It’s a terrible idea for using run flats. They are horrible on every level!
    1
  13022. Hi! I did talk about it in the video. If you go to tirerack.com then select your car then select OE tires
    1
  13023. Hi! Yes in some cases
    1
  13024. Interesting tire that one. I started seeing it a lot lately
    1
  13025. Hi! Uniroyal tires are not good honestly. Cheaply made and usually noisy
    1
  13026. They’re usually clearly rated winter/summer/ all season
    1
  13027. If it’s mounted on wheels and inflated you can stack them
    1
  13028. Hi! Could you write your email as a comment?
    1
  13029. Hi! I wish it’s simple. Each manufacturer will use it for something different but usually the yellow dot is a heavy point of the tire in most cases
    1
  13030. Hi! I haven’t personally tried it but I’ve seen it on a lot of cars and hear good things about it
    1
  13031. I haven’t seen this product before
    1
  13032. It’s a gimmick. Scientifically it makes a difference but in the real world the money that they charge you for it makes a much MUCH bigger difference in your pocket.
    1
  13033. Try Michelin’s next time and see if they last better.
    1
  13034. What brands did you use?
    1
  13035. Are they wearing evenly?
    1
  13036. Hi! What’s the issue with the tires?
    1
  13037. Hi! I wouldn’t change it when you’re back. Go until your 5k then change it.
    1
  13038. Tire rack.com enter your car information and then look up original tires
    1
  13039. Hi! Yea that’s the down side of having staggered tires
    1
  13040. A few contenders out there now but time will tell how they perform
    1
  13041. Many say that. I haven’t seen any truth to that and even if there’s truth to it I have bought tires from Costco before personally and haven’t had any issues.
    1
  13042. It’s not but be wary of the speed limits of the tires
    1
  13043. Both actually! The professional repair is a patch/plug combo
    1
  13044. Hi! Usually they’ll always have it. Sometimes they’ll have it only on one side of the tire
    1
  13045. Stored or not I wouldn’t keep tires past 7 years
    1
  13046. You can do that as well.
    1
  13047. Hi! Are you using oil?
    1
  13048. No real way to find out if there’s multiple oe tires
    1
  13049. LT tires to have their characteristics one of them is that they’re not very good about holding their balance
    1
  13050. Hi! Which model and year car do you have?
    1
  13051. Hi! I see many people happy with them. Personally I haven’t had them yet on any of my cars.
    1
  13052. All terrain tires will be ones meant for mud and off roading
    1
  13053. Hi! It’s tires/wheels
    1
  13054. You can experiment with tire pressure as long as you keep it below the tire max pressure
    1
  13055. I dislike them a lot. Noisy, heavy, expensive and last a very short time.
    1
  13056. You can extend it and see how tire wear looks like
    1
  13057. Hi! That’s a bit much on tire rotations. I would rotate them every 5k miles (8000 kms)
    1
  13058. I’ve never cross rotated any of my cars nor do I recommend it. Too much work for very little of any results. I would just rotate front to back
    1
  13059. Hi! Michelin defender is a good one but does affect your gas mileage a bit
    1
  13060. For diagnosis purposes you can swap them for a quick test drive just to confirm it’s the issue but it’s not a long term solution
    1
  13061. Yes some tire manufacturers still have this
    1
  13062. Hi! You can make the switch without issues. The speedometer can be adjusted within 4 mph
    1
  13063. Are they the same brand as the rear tires and were they rotated often?
    1
  13064. Hi Michelin primacy is a good option on that Camry at least for me. That’s what I had twice on my 2012 Camry
    1
  13065. I wouldn’t buy tires for full price that are over a year old
    1
  13066. Honestly a KO2 for the RAV4 might be too much. Research all season tires
    1
  13067. Hi! You can’t rotate front to back in this case. Rotating side to side doesn’t really help anything so I wouldn’t do it
    1
  13068. It’s in the video. Tirerack.com
    1
  13069. Hi! Your dealership is a rare one for tires. Usually they cost a lot more for the same tire through dealer tire. As far as repairs I always tell people to check original parts and dealership prices before you do a job elsewhere. You’d be surprised
    1
  13070. Look it up on tire rack. Sometimes they’ll have more than one option in that case it’s hard to tell really
    1
  13071. Hi! With wheels and inflated it’s ok to stack them
    1
  13072. Hi! If there’s an issue with tire wear then get it checked otherwise no
    1
  13073. It does sound a bit high at 5 hours. If memory serves right 3 hours is about right
    1
  13074. Yes it does
    1
  13075. Hi! Not really time as much unless it’s like 10 years and mileage around 30-50k
    1
  13076. Hi! I wouldn’t drive too much in 4h and especially not making turns. 4Lo I wouldn’t drive at all just shift into it and back out without moving the truck
    1
  13077. No?
    1
  13078. Hi paul. They need to document it honestly. It might be rear end or front differential if you have excessive metal shavings in the fluid. Try another dealership or contact Toyota directly they at least need to document it
    1
  13079. Hi! There’s a software update for the DCM to resolve this issue permanently
    1
  13080. Hi! Yes you want to watch the angle of your axles and driveshafts. Also if it’s a model equipped with safety systems they might become inaccurate
    1
  13081. Hi! Every 30k miles
    1
  13082. Hi! Yes you can up to 60mph
    1
  13083. I have an example of which model has it. Other models do have it. Might’ve come out as trd pro only
    1
  13084. That’s a normal noise that all Toyota trucks make and not an issue
    1
  13085. No. Atrac uses brakes to the wheels that loose traction to transfer torque to other wheels. Crawl is essentially off road cruise control
    1
  13086. Hi! Yes and if that’s not often in your area you can engage it in a straight line for a short period of time just to get things moving
    1
  13087. It’s a 2019 and it’s not mine
    1
  13088. Interesting. I’ve never really seen issues they usually operate very smoothly. Has it ever engaged smoothly and not it changed?
    1
  13089. Hi! Any modifications?
    1
  13090. Hi! Yes same thing below 62 mph for 4hi
    1
  13091. Merry christmas!
    1
  13092. It’s not a simple add on option. Not sure if it’s available aftermarket
    1
  13093. Yes
    1
  13094. When you erased the codes did you cycle the key?
    1
  13095. Hi! You’ll need to check for abs codes in this case to see what’s going on
    1
  13096. All rav4s don’t have a CVt. Hybrids have an eCVT which is different than your standard cvt

    1
  13350. With the v12?
    1
  13351. So far so good.
    1
  13352. Oil changes on time and more importantly deciding early if your driving falls in severe or normal and follow the recommendation accordingly. Change the transmission fluid every 60k or 6 years on most of the newer ones. When things break down as the car ages and has miles get it fixed with good parts. Shop around for prices to save or do the work yourself if possible.
    1
  13353. That I am not sure about but the big plate underneath has a bunch of one time bolts
    1
  13354. It does use some plastic pipes for coolant but not to the expansion tank. It does have 1 time use bolts and no rod bearing replacement interval. So far it’s been good other than the oil consumption issue with the 2021.
    1
  13355. Hi! It’s a very nice sports car. As long as you know it’s possibly not going to be reliable and it’s mostly made by BMW then yes it’s a very nice car for it’s intended purpose.
    1
  13356. Hi! I remember this coming up in the past. This is a normal characteristic. The engine computer is trying to keep some rpm off idle to keep the truck moving and won’t pick up normal idle until you’re almost at a stop.
    1
  13357. Hi! I would change it every 5k miles
    1
  13358. There’s a big catch with electric cars that most will find out the hard way. Unless you plan to change them as soon as the warranty runs out on the battery.
    1
  13359. If you can still get parts you could be able to repair it by replacing cables
    1
  13360. Hi! You’ll need to use a vented battery and use the vent hose. Sealed batteries are a question mark and I wouldn’t trust that as it could be a hazard because the battery is inside the car.
    1
  13361. Hi! Congratulations on your purchase! Which year Prius and how many miles?
    1
  13362. Hi! Not sure who manufactures these for this engine but the older 1MZ did have a supercharger kit which could fit with some modifications if you could find one. The transmission it could be the case that’s leaking. They’re somewhat common
    1
  13363. They are very reliable. They don’t do well with rust though
    1
  13364. Hi! Honda has a different philosophy. However they do make good cars as well.
    1
  13365. Hi mark! I wouldn’t worry if it’s working fine at this point
    1
  13366. Hi! This one was the XLE premium non hybrid
    1
  13367. Some Toyota models have CVT but most still don’t.
    1
  13368. Hi! Yes that is the case
    1
  13369. Hi! This is a video I made on the Supra https://youtu.be/rc2qgbbRDmk
    1
  13370. Mazda is a company that’s kinda behind the radar. They make good products and while we usually mock the Toyota badged Mazda they’re actually pretty good cars and are reliable
    1
  13371. Hi! Which trim is it?
    1
  13372. Hi! They hold up very well in most models. The torque mount is the first one to go and a long while later the others start to go. But I haven’t seen on completely separated before.
    1
  13373. Hi! How often were the tires rotated?
    1
  13374. Hi! The 2022 Prius and prime is likely a carryover from 2021
    1
  13375. Hi! This generation Yaris was very good reliability wise as it’s been mechanically the same for a very long time.
    1
  13376. That is the debate. On the newer models 10k oil changes vs 5k oil changes will depend on your driving conditions
    1
  13377. Hi! The closest thing we had to it is the Scion iQ and I haven’t seen much issues with them
    1
  13378. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeFzfl0Q8rQVV48qGZhzQWpapc_F8elah
    1
  13379. Sorry about that! These bots are all over the place.
    1
  13380. Try an engine oil cleaner which might lessen things slightly but the correct and permanent fix is to replace the pistons and rings with updated arts
    1
  13381. Just keep up the maintenance by time since you don’t have a lot of mileage
    1
  13382. Hi! I think it will be reliable long term. This engine and drivetrain is shared with many other models. Here’s an in depth review I did on the sienna https://youtu.be/ODZSbuzVlUo
    1
  13383. Will do!
    1
  13384. Hi! Yes it’s the same v6
    1
  13385. Hi! Any land cruiser is good as long as it’s not rusty. Rusty ones can get really bad.
    1
  13386. Hi! Search on google for Lexus customer service
    1
  13387. Hi! That whine noise could be normal from the transmission pump. They all make it. To be sure record a video and upload it
    1
  13388. Hi! At this mileage and age not much. At 60k replace the transmission fluid and at 5 years replace the coolant
    1
  13389. Hi! The brake noise can be resolved with some grease to the back of the pads. The studs snapping is usually overtightened lug nuts. Not something I’ve seen for other reasons
    1
  13390. Reset the transmission memory.
    1
  13391. Does it make that exact rattle noise in this video?
    1
  13392. Hi! The engine rattle is one that has come up. It’s a normal characteristic of the engine
    1
  13393. Very hard to tell. Hope no one got hurt.
    1
  13394. Hi! I would consider 2018+ for driving and features 2015-2017 for simplicity
    1
  13395. Hi Charles! It’s not a matter of luck. You bought it new and took care of right. Now at this mileage you’re reaping the benefits of good maintenance and care. Power to you sir! Hope it lasts many more years and miles without issues!
    1
  13396. They are about the same since they are made by the same company
    1
  13397. Some movement is normal
    1
  13398. Hi! Could be but wobbles that only exist when moving could be tires wheels axles
    1
  13399. Hi! Most of them will go many miles without issues. It’s the ones that were never caught from an early age that pass the warranty time and not get fixed. 4 cylinders are always easier and cost less to fix because they’re smaller
    1
  13400. Hi! You can check the fluid level on new transmissions diy. Watch this video https://youtu.be/eRxSu4-4ojo
    1
  13401. Hi! We’ll have to wait for it to come out to see which exact setup they have.
    1
  13402. Contact your local Toyota customer service
    1
  13403. Hi! This sounds like a good price for a good length warranty
    1
  13404. Hi! Make sure that the setting for steering assist is turned on. If it is I would take it and have it checked out.
    1
  13405. Hi John! I made a series on maintenance early in the channel life. Here’s a link to it https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeFzfl0Q8rQVtXIaJSF7EtirvTRhSbsrV
    1
  13406. Hi! Every 60k miles or 6 years
    1
  13407. Hi! They’re not directly interchangeable but with some wiring diagram research you can change the wiring and possibly get it to work
    1
  13408. Hi! I wouldn’t worry about the cartridge filter. It works pretty good and have been around for a long time.
    1
  13409. It’s a real issue but doesn’t affect all of them. Usually careful owners who know about it can catch it while still under warranty and get it covered
    1
  13410. They’re good. They have a few common things I did a buying guide for this model
    1
  13411. Switch to a different brand first
    1
  13412. Hi! Try switching gas brands and even try premium fuel and see if it’s fuel related
    1
  13413. Hi! I would change it every 8k kms. And the v8 is a solid engine with good maintenance. The wire harness is auto industry wide. Best thing you can do is prevention which you’ve already done.
    1
  13414. Hi! Is the weather clear? And the windshield clean?
    1
  13415. Hi! Are you in the US?
    1
  13416. Hi! 2022 is likely a carryover model
    1
  13417. Hi! They were basically either afraid to upsell or just don’t want to bother to do their job. That’s one of the first things I check and inform about when I get a Toyota v6 with the rubber lines. Spend a few hundred bucks or spend thousands to replace the engine. That should be the customers choice not mine
    1
  13418. Hi! Likely a lot more than what you have now if you keep up the maintenance
    1
  13419. Hi! Both North American made and Japanese made hybrids are exactly the same.
    1
  13420. Hi! That’s ok. It can handle that without issues.
    1
  13421. Hi! The remanufactured transmission is basically reusing the outside housing with everything new inside
    1
  13422. Hi! The 5th gen 4.0 is very reliable. A lot less maintenance than the 3.4L in the 3rd gen. Also the 2.7 is good but like to eat head gaskets as they age
    1
  13423. Hi! It’s maintenance so it’s important.
    1
  13424. Hi! It’s called lunar rock.
    1
  13425. Hi! I don’t have much experience with the 1.2 as it’s not sold in the us but the 1.8 is good.
    1
  13426. Hi! On the new corolla the 1.8 is a carryover and has been around for a while. Good engine overall. The 2.0 is very nice and gets good gas mileage. Personally I would go with the 2.0
    1
  13427. A 2010 and up 4runner is definitely more roomy than the older ones. I would look for 2010-2021 they’re solid trucks and very reliable
    1
  13428. Hi! A Tacoma is a very good option if you are into off roading. If you want something a bit more functional and more capable look at a 4runner especially if you don’t have use for the bed. A tundra is a very good truck but it’s too big in my opinion. Real gas mileage with either of the trucks is not great. From your description I think a 4runner test drive is needed.
    1
  13429. Hi! No worries just get it serviced and continue to take care of it
    1
  13430. Google customer experience center
    1
  13431. Hi! Honestly at this mileage I would leave it alone
    1
  13432. I would shop around for 15-17 if you don’t want the latest and greatest tech or even better a 2016-2018 avalon
    1
  13433. Unfortunately that’s the vvti rattle. If it happens everytime when you start the car not only on cold starts then it’s time to fix it
    1
  13434. Hi! These engines are good. That is an early year with potential vvti gear problems. If you hear no rattle on cold start up then you’re good and I would keep going with it
    1
  13435. Hi! I would stay with 2016 and up on that generation corolla and I highly advice that you get the car inspected by your trusted mechanic before buying it
    1
  13436. Yes the lord 15-16 is the best years if you don’t like how the 8 speed drives
    1
  13437. Kris Chu Hi Kris! Thank you! I’m glad the video is helpful! Best wishes for you and your family.
    1
  13438. Hi! The 2021 model is completely different than the model discussed in this video. The 2021 had many improvements over the last generation.
    1
  13439. Hi! It could be rust related the leaks. Perhaps washing the underneath of the car more often and changing the coolant every 5 years or 50k miles.
    1
  13440. Hi! Do you have run flat tires by any chance?
    1
  13441. Hi! White lithium grease
    1
  13442. Hi! Honestly it looks like you’ve got it covered! Congratulations on your purchase!
    1
  13443. It’s a very common issue. Not of fault of the car because if you take the same car that chewed up the run flat tires and put regular tires you won’t see the same problem. The tires are too heavy and that’s how they wear. I wouldn’t put them on any sienna if it was my call.
    1
  13444. Hi! At this moment I am responding to emails is difficult and takes and backed up. I suggest to viewers to post here instead
    1
  13445. Hi! On the bearing you’ll need to check if it’s a wheel bearing or something with the rear diff coupler
    1
  13446. Hi! What was the oil maintenance from the previous owner?
    1
  13447. Hi Lot 😂 that’s a good one! Well if you have one of these vans and it has been absolutely reliable then you know you got the best one
    1
  13448. Hi! No common issues with the smart key that I see on these models.
    1
  13449. Toyota doesn’t really sell the bushing separate from the arm and I don’t know about aftermarket options.
    1
  13450. Roman Stetsyuk if you have questions you’re welcome to email me. My email is in the description of this video.
    1
  13451. Nice! What year sienna?
    1
  13452. Hi! They are less powerful than the outgoing generation. I plan to test it for just that and make a video about it in the future
    1
  13453. Hi! Is it leaking bad where it’s dripping on the floorv
    1
  13454. Thank you!
    1
  13455. I would be careful with deals that are too good to be true
    1
  13456. The sienna towing capacity is 3500lbs but if you tow you have to change the transmission fluid every 60k
    1
  13457. Towing the car or towing with the car?
    1
  13458. Hi! I see your point and agree with it. However it’s difficult to put a number or percentage of cars with or without the issues. The idea of this video is to bring awareness that while Toyota’s are reliable, they also tend to get neglected and end up accumulating some serious issues over the years. And as a prospective buyer who’s buying the car trusting that it’s a Toyota and is reliable, this video will make you aware what to exactly check in a used car to see if you’re looking at a good one or a bad one. I see too many people buy cars and check them. Often I see people worrying about ball joints and tie rods with Toyota’s. Two things that are rarely bad and completely miss the engine oil leaks and bad struts which are common.
    1
  13459. Ok I see. Well if the compressor threw debris in the system it would have to be flushed and some components replaced like the expansion valve. Not common for these compressors to seize up. Worse is a sticky flow sensor and even that is not very common. Just curious how many miles does the van have?
    1
  13460. Hi David. How did you know if the compressor went out? Did it make noise? Or the ac stopped working?
    1
  13461. Thank you for watching. I don’t know of a similar video for honda odyssey’s.
    1
  13462. Mathew Quezada my pleasure! I’m glad I could help.
    1
  13463. Hi! The 3.5 is a very good engine. Nothing is perfect of course but don’t buy one that has issues. Buy one in good shape and you won’t have issues
    1
  13464. Rene perez they haven’t come out yet to have a full opinion on them however given the power train they’re going to have I think they’re gonna be great for some a disappointment for others. Not everyone is into hybrids and not having the option of a non hybrid might disappoint some people. But overall it’s going to be another solid hybrid car from Toyota.
    1
  13465. Most Lexus models has a pretty good resale value when compared to its competitors. It is lower when compared to Toyota though I agree with you. It has to do with their initial purchase price.
    1
  13466. Hi! You don’t need to replace the engine!! Just the head gaskets. Email me with the subject Chicago service request and we’ll take care of it
    1
  13467. Yes it does.
    1
  13468. Hi! Is it AWD?
    1
  13469. Thank you for watching my channel! The new sienna is nice. Test drive one and see if you like how hybrids drive.
    1
  13470. Hi! The 2004-2010 are likely expired at this time for the coverage. Inquire with your dealership
    1
  13471. Good idea! Thank you! This issue has been popping up lately randomly.
    1
  13472. Contact me via email and I’ll help. Long list to put here.
    1
  13473. Hi! Don’t be nervous. This is the worst case scenario and this video was geared more for people buying a used car on what to inspect. The sienna is one of the best minivans. Just like any car they have their common issues but you minimize them with good maintenance and care.
    1
  13474. Hi! There Are likely options out there to lift it but I personally don’t recommend them as that’s not a car with a large lifting community
    1
  13475. Hi! Typically the 14 and 15 are priced very similarly and if they’re the same price the 15-16 is nicer inside
    1
  13476. Personally I would get a sienna. The odyssey is good as well.
    1
  13477. Hi! The new sienna is good but a bit low on power when you compare it to the V6 however it does get very good gas mileage compared to the V6 and it doesn’t have the same engine as the old sienna model with the 4 cylinder
    1
  13478. Hi! Make sure you check the car to make sure it’s been fixed correctly. A pre purchase inspection is important as that seems like a high repair bill
    1
  13479. Hi! I would leave it alone at this age and mileage
    1
  13480. I would look at 2011-2014 might be out of your budget but 2015-2016 is even better. The 2005-2010 is below your budget so shopping in that year range is also possible but overall finding a good 2005-2010 will be harder than finding a good 2011-2016
    1
  13481. It’s very possible to connect them. They simply connect the interior lights and odds are the wires are already there or can be ran in the same spots
    1
  13482. Could you elaborate further as the courtesy lights should already work with the front doors
    1
  13483. Hi! That’s a water leak and could be there for variety of reasons. Could be a leaking windshield or clogged sun roof drains
    1
  13484. The 2.4 had those issues as well however from experience working on them I’m seeing that the 2.5 has the same issue as well.
    1
  13485. The 2.5 in the 09-12 rav4s has oil consumption issues that get pretty bad with time.
    1
  13486. Hi! In the splines where the shaft collapses. You’ll need to remove it from the car
    1
  13487. Thank you for watching my video! The 2021 sienna is good so far but it’s also too new to tell. They seem to have addressed some of the issues
    1
  13488. They are identical no preference really.
    1
  13489. Hi! That should be enough to keep things fresh
    1
  13490. Aquadad glad I could help! So the 2004 sienna had some of the same issues but had more as well. I will be releasing a similar video for the 2004-2010 soon. Are you looking to buy one or you own one?
    1
  13491. Hi! As long as you are in the towing capacity you’re good
    1
  13492. This one will have to be inspected in person. The video makes it sound like bottom end noise. It could be a lot of things inside the engine. Hows the oil look is it clean?
    1
  13493. I would first check the oil level and make sure it’s not low. After that I would suspect a water pump noise but in person diagnosis and verification is needed in this case
    1
  13494. Hi! Does it do the same rattle when you park it overnight?
    1
  13495. Hi! So the oil leaks are common enough for me to mention them. If you’re buying one make sure you buy one that’s not leaking. If it starts leaking after that it will start very slow and will take a long time to really develop a large leak. The idea of the video is not to buy one that’s been leaking for long and now it has developed into a big leak.
    1
  13496. Yes they do and early 2005s had a very bad issue with variable valve timing gears coming apart. If the engine makes a rattling noise for a few seconds when started cold that’s the first sign that they are failing and it costs a small fortune to fix.
    1
  13497. 2015-2016 seem to be the best years to buy today. And 2019+. The highlander is very similar to the sienna minus the sliding door and overall could be slightly better.
    1
  13498. They are reliable for a minivan. Neglect them however and they can turn into a non reliable car.
    1
  13499. Missed the gas door but it’s covered by the support program now. The viscous coupler isn’t chronic and has to do with bad towing. Did you have issues with one?
    1
  13500. TheDeco6 that’s awesome! Yes they are covered by a special policy! I would call the dealership and ask them about it and they should take care of it since you’re still under the time frame for that policy!
    1
  13501. Interesting that sounded on the high side but could be the area too.
    1
  13502. I’m sorry to hear that. That’s a little high for the oil cooler lines is this a dealership?
    1
  13503. They are the same engine but for some reason they are more common on sienna and highlander models. Much less common on Avalon and Camry
    1
  13504. Easily it can’t be removed. I’m putting together resources to make a diy video on how to remove it
    1
  13505. Hi! That’s a decent year to buy just check it against the common issues
    1
  13506. Likely a courtesy switch in the door that’s faulty or needs adjustment
    1
  13507. Hi! Does it open by itself?
    1
  13508. Hi! 2005-2006 or 2008-2009 in good condition are good.
    1
  13509. It’s a bit over but you can still replace it
    1
  13510. Hi! Every 60k miles
    1
  13511. Hi! Unfortunately it’s hard to put an exact dollar amount of the repairs as this vary greatly from a parts prospective to region
    1
  13512. If the mirrors are not automatic folding from the beginning it’s hard to retrofit. Also Toyota doesn’t have an option to auto fold them with lock. The windows some models have this option but you would need a Toyota scan tool to activate it
    1
  13513. Hi! Review video coming out tomorrow
    1
  13514. Very well said Derek. Thank you!
    1
  13515. It’s really hard to tell if they did the oil change or not. Some dealerships always do oil changes before selling any pre owned car. But I’d say ask the dealership if it was done you’re good if not get an oil change and continue with oil change and tire rotation every 5k miles or 6 months and you should have no issues. There’s no specified early first oil change for modern Toyota’s and seeing how these engines are made I wouldn’t worry about it. They’re typically very well made and clean where you wouldn’t need a say 1000 mile break in oil change
    1
  13516. Hi! They do if you explain the situation. They call it a used car inspection
    1
  13517. Hi! Likely not unless you’re buying it from a private owner
    1
  13518. So the maintenance will be less than your Camry. Longer intervals, no timing belt and much better with rust. However it’s a bigger car so it will need more brakes and tires. Also the sliding doors eventually will have issues but for their convenience they are worth it if you’re in the market for a van
    1
  13519. Hi! The 2020 has the most updated parts and should have the least issues. The key here is keep up the maintenance. Rust proofing won’t help the sliding door issues but those has extended warranties on them.
    1
  13520. Hi! Hard to tell an exact time for most issues as they depend on many factors
    1
  13521. No both bushings get replaced. Is it still doing the same?
    1
  13522. Check your front lower control arms back bushings.
    1
  13523. Hi! Does the clunk happen when you accelerate or just when you turn the wheel? If that’s the case then intermediate shaft. Very common on these
    1
  13524. Hi! The 2011-2016 siennas has port direct injection not direct injection
    1
  13525. james spratke the oil leaks and coolant leaks are similar on the 2009 sienna. Wouldn’t hurt to take a peek make sure everything is good.
    1
  13526. So far most of the issues has been fixed
    1
  13527. I would go with original Toyota ATF WS
    1
  13528. Hi! They are fixable of course and once fixed right they won’t leak again
    1
  13529. Hi! I unfortunately don’t know anyone in your area.
    1
  13530. Hi! They are really both reliable. Of course the AWD model will have more maintenance and more components so it will be more cost to maintain.
    1
  13531. It should make for good fuel economy to use cruise control on the highway
    1
  13532. I don’t have the same experience with honda.. sorry
    1
  13533. That’s very possible. This one is hard to figure out in this format but I would check everything around the engine and transmission and the exhaust.
    1
  13534. Hi! Interesting issue. Does it do the same vibration when not moving and at 1250 in park?
    1
  13535. I always see people inspecting cars they’re looking to buy at the dealership where I work and usually they don’t check half the things that could be an issue and spend most of their time looking at things that never go bad.
    1
  13536. That’s fishy. I would walk away plenty of other siennas out there why buy the one with question marks
    1
  13537. It is a good buy if it’s in good condition and doesn’t have issues
    1
  13538. Well it could be something with the sway bar links or the installation then
    1
  13539. Ok how were the sway bar links?
    1
  13540. Hi! What was the brand of the struts and mounts?
    1
  13541. The Camry model overall will be more reliable however the sienna and highlander for their size and segment they are considered reliable as well.
    1
  13542. Hi! I would yes
    1
  13543. Hi! Check it for everything stated in the video especially the head gasket and oil leaks. Prices honestly is not my area
    1
  13544. If you have a trusted mechanic who’s close by they can either inspect the car at the dealership where you’re buying it from or dealerships will actually allow you to take the care for a pre purchase inspection. Not all of them allow off site but wouldn’t hurt to ask. Small dealerships would usually allow this more than branded dealerships.
    1
  13545. Hi! Any leaks? Check the transmission fluid level and condition
    1
  13546. Between 2000-3000 at the dealership
    1
  13547. I think changing it every 5 years or 50k is good
    1
  13548. Hi! Really no exact mileage. I’ve seen some fail as low as 23k miles and some last 200k
    1
  13549. Hi! How was the fluid when they replaced itv
    1
  13550. Glad I could help
    1
  13551. Thank you for watching my videos! If the car is running good I wouldn’t worry about anything. Just make sure to give the car a good inspection focusing on suspension to make sure everything is in good shape and you’re good to go. Happy holidays!
    1
  13552. Hi! Honestly I’d have to measure it when I get one.
    1
  13553. They’ve been good so far. Seems like they’re fixed
    1
  13554. I see. Well let’s go back to basics. Hows your drive like? Is it highway or mostly city?
    1
  13555. I would make sure the tires are properly inflated and reset the mileage counter and see how it does. Minivans will not get great gas mileage especially when compared to a hybrid but I think that 12 could improve a bit
    1
  13556. Hi! Your sienna uses regular 87 gas. Also the gas mileage will depend on a lot of factors. Is this an AWd model?
    1
  13557. Hi! These are generally good if taken care of. Here’s a video where I went into their common issues https://youtu.be/1djDSR2vwdI
    1
  13558. Car shield
    1
  13559. You can but it’s an emissions violation.
    1
  13560. Likely not. Usually that’s covered by the 3 year 36k miles warranty
    1
  13561. Hi! Steering intermediate shaft. Becoming a common problem lately
    1
  13562. Hi! I’d need to see the source of that to verify
    1
  13563. Hi! Things improved with 2020 model year
    1
  13564. Yes I still do
    1
  13565. Hi! That’s normal. It will take some driving for it to reflect the change. Don’t fill your car with the engine running not just for the gauge but for safety reasons
    1
  13566. Hi! That is enough to keep everything fresh.
    1
  13567. Body parts are the most affected
    1
  13568. Hi! It does fit
    1
  13569. You can but a shop can’t because that’s an emissions violation.
    1
  13570. Hi! In that case a 2019 is a good fit.
    1
  13571. Hi! Likely not unless it gets updated and follows the tundra
    1
  13572. All of them honestly with a good pre purchase inspection
    1
  13573. I am not getting another car at the moment.
    1
  13574. Hi! I own a 2022 Toyota Camry XSE Hybrid.
    1
  13575. Hi! I will once I get one
    1
  13576. Hi! It will take 87 but at what cost? I wouldn’t wait to find out and highly encourage you to use premium
    1
  13577. It will have less power and possibly knock
    1
  13578. Hi! Hard to tell without in person diagnosis. Any accidents or modifications?
    1
  13579. Hi! This model only comes in full time 4WD so only 4L and locked
    1
  13580. Hi! The 4runner uses a 5 speed transmission which is very similar to the 6 speed in the GX but missing one gear
    1
  13581. Hi! This depends on the dealership. They are more than capable of servicing it but some dealerships decide not to for some reason
    1
  13582. Similar yes
    1
  13583. Hi! Yes for the first 500-1000 milrs
    1
  13584. Hi! I would consider switching to 8000kms oil change intervals at this point. You’re good if it’s not burning oil.
    1
  13585. Hi! I wouldn’t use regular and I wouldn’t try the 4WD unless you are ok with the risk of it getting stuck if it’s never been used since new
    1
  13586. Hi! It will but I wouldn’t do it
    1
  13587. Hi! Would love to try it. Might need a lot more than the grille though as the headlights are also different
    1
  13588. It can over time.
    1
  13589. Hi! That is typical new model issues which is covered by warranty. People are making it bigger than it needs to be. And removing the cab out of a toyota truck especially a new one is a 2 hour job. Hardly the “invasive” procedure that some are making it out to be. The V8 in the previous generation had serious issues on the first batch as well.
    1
  13590. Hi! The towing hitch is part of the frame. I’ll need to look into it to see if it’s possible to add one
    1
  13591. Lx570 for sure 😃
    1
  13592. Hi! In older models a reset is not possible. Was the arm for the sender possibly damaged or bent during installation?
    1
  13593. For those that argue they’re not the same. Start cross referencing major parts and you’ll see. For example GX470s rear end is directly out of a 4runner exact same part number
    1
  13594. The GX is very ancient and will have slightly high quality
    1
  13595. Hi! They are totally different. The RX is not a truck based so it will be lower to the ground and not as off road capable. But will be more feature full than the Gx
    1
  13596. Hi! Honestly I wouldn’t unless you want a more luxurious truck
    1
  13597. That’s a good idea thank you!
    1
  13598. Anything in mind for the explorer?
    1
  13599. I would just get oem strut and mount that’s the best but most expensive. Otherwise KYB makes good quick struts
    1
  13600. Thank you! Anything specific to honda?
    1
  13601. Sounds good! Thank you for your suggestion
    1
  13602. Thank you! Anything specific on the Honda Accord?
    1
  13603. without hearing the noises I wouldn't be able to know what's going on. Record a video and share the link and I'll take a listen and give you my opinion
    1
  13604. Thank you leslie! It’s an idea that I’m going for. It’s in the making!
    1
  13605. Thanks Omar! A hybrid buying guide is in the works!
    1
  13606. It would help.
    1
  13607. Hi! Regular oil changes help. Replacement of pcv valve with spark plugs help. Also not over filling the engine with oil helps a lot. Another thing is to use top tier gasoline
    1
  13608. Hi! If the fluid is replace on time there no need to replace the filter on toyotas
    1
  13609. Hi! Is it a squeak or a knocking noise?
    1
  13610. The video was titled this is my story
    1
  13611. Hi! I wouldn’t put it that way but the nickel metal hydride will be better if the fan is neglected. Both will be ok if the fan filter is kept clean
    1
  13612. Hi! Your Prius C has a nickel metal hydride
    1
  13613. Hi! Your Prius have a nickel metal hydride battery
    1
  13614. Hi! The highlander uses a nickel metal hydride battery
    1
  13615. Hi! Yes it does it’s underneath the back seat there are 3 vents
    1
  13616. Hi! No concerns with emf. They are safe
    1
  13617. Ok firestones should be ok. Alignments been checked?
    1
  13618. Hi! That is true however before going with that I would look into your tires. Tires have a significant effect on handling on Toyota models especially the one you have
    1
  13619. Hi! When replacing the battery at dealership or outside they typically take the old battery as a core
    1
  13620. Depends on your need and budget. They are all good options
    1
  13621. Some do some don’t. It’s on the drivers side of the back seat
    1
  13622. Hi! The only accurate way is to remove the back seat bottom and read the label on the battery itself
    1
  13623. Different markets will have different battery options. The information in this video is based on the US model.
    1
  13624. The dealership will be able to run the vin and tell you
    1
  13625. Hi! I don’t have training or experience with the Mirai as it’s not sold in my area. I like the concept as it’s very similar to a conventional gasoline car.
    1
  13626. That model is not sold in my area so I don’t have the specifics but most likely nickel metal hydride
    1
  13627. Hi! Here’s a video specific to your corolla hybrid fan filter service https://youtu.be/U7mjpvRihVU
    1
  13628. @flagmichael I love this post could you post it as a regular comment so I can pin it? Many people ask about this.
    1
  13629. Hi! It’s not a bad idea.
    1
  13630. It depends on your driving conditions and style.
    1
  13631. Which model do you have?
    1
  13632. Hi! It’s an option that can be turned off using the dealership scan tool or a tool like Carista app
    1
  13633. Hi! Anything is possible but might be expensive
    1
  13634. That’s one of my worries as well. That’s why I mentioned no track record for the lithium ion.
    1
  13635. I’ll look into it if there’s anything different with the battery cooling on Ford hybrids vs Toyota hybrids
    1
  13636. Different markets will have different packaging and specs. Information in this video is for US spec cars.
    1
  13637. Hi! It doesn’t as long as you maintain the filter and use ac
    1
  13638. That’s likely because of the stability of lithium ion batteries. Same with cellphones
    1
  13639. Hi! If it’s not a hybrid model 75w90 gl5
    1
  13640. Hi! Batteries do degrade overtime but not to a point where it needs replacement. Is the battery overheating?
    1
  13641. 2019-2020 nickel metal hydride. 2021 could have either and no information on my side on which one is which without checking a VIN number
    1
  13642. Hi! There’s no way to know the engine run time easily.
    1
  13643. Hi! Likely nickel metal hydride
    1
  13644. Hi! On hybrids you can’t charge them as a consumer like plug in hybrids.
    1
  13645. Hi! Not always. The computer won’t power on if the state of charge is very low. Are you getting any codes?
    1
  13646. Hi! I would clean the battery filter if your Toyota hybrid model has one. Which model and year do you have?
    1
  13647. There are 2 styles here’s a video with details and the part numbers
    1
  13648. Hi! I would have to look up prices
    1
  13649. Hi! They are good cars to buy and are desirable for resale if they are in good condition
    1
  13650. Hi! The vents don’t bring any fumes in. The battery is vented outside the car
    1
  13651. The car can be built in Japan but if it’s made for the US market like it’s sold in the US then it has lithium ion.
    1
  13652. If this is a us model it’s a lithium ion
    1
  13653. Hi! They’re not interchangeable
    1
  13654. That depends on the laws in your state or country but usually if the issue could be caused by lack of maintenance they could ask for service records
    1
  13655. The risk is low in hybrids because of their construction and the area where the battery is located in
    1
  13656. Yes it is
    1
  13657. Hi! It will set a code and you’ll notice the gasoline engine running a lot more than normal
    1
  13658. Hi! The es300h is an excellent hybrid model in my opinion. So it does have a filter and it’s underneath the back seat.
    1
  13659. Hi! Not easily and likely not worth it cost wise
    1
  13660. Hi! That shouldn’t be an issue. The battery is controlled by the computer to cut charging when the battery is its high level allowed
    1
  13661. Some of the newest ones have lithium ion
    1
  13662. Hi! There was never an option for lithium ion for the first generation Camry
    1
  13663. They’re good cars just make sure the service history is up to date
    1
  13664. Hi! Both are extremes. If it’s a week or two that’s not an issue. But continuous can become an issue and more of an issue for heat when the cooling system is not maintained and in cold when it’s parked outside and not driven for a long time ( 1 month+) repeatedly
    1
  13665. On the Camry the LE has lithium ion. On the RAV4 it’s the opposite.
    1
  13666. Your model is XLE which is not the base model? So it should have nickel metal hydride. That’s what I said in the video
    1
  13667. You can’t get a lithium ion for the 2nd gen Prius.
    1
  13668. Thank you for your comment. Which new Toyota model sold today has a different kind of battery other than nickel metal hydride and lithium ion?
    1
  13669. Cross replacements are not possible and not as simple as that.
    1
  13670. Hi! The 2010 Prius uses a nickel metal hydride battery?
    1
  13671. Likely cost vs. benefit
    1
  13672. Hi! Yes you actually have 3 here’s a video with more specific details to your car https://youtu.be/WNo-VXJSg7s
    1
  13673. Hi! Likely not as simple as replacing the battery because the software is completely different
    1
  13674. Honestly I’m not really sure about the recycling.
    1
  13675. Hi! It should be lithium ion
    1
  13676. Hi! It should be capable of doing that.
    1
  13677. Hi! Some of this generation sienna had issues with the abs module itself. But before replacing anything check for codes while the lights are on and aee
    1
  13678. Honestly this sensor will be there for a good while. This is the original sensor from 16 years ago. It will eventually do the same thing again
    1
  13679. Hi! Check Carista scan tools website
    1
  13680. She’s built and should be here next week! I have a contest for whoever guesses the car details will get a gift. Check the community tab
    1
  13681. Hi! Typically an hour of two of labor plus the part cost
    1
  13682. Hi! Will need some diagnosis on this one. They do have a speed sensor on the trans but it could also be an abs issue
    1
  13683. Hi! It doesn’t apply to your 2021
    1
  13684. Hi! Look for leaking cam towers. Also make sure they’re not rusty
    1
  13685. The cross will likely be better for big dogs.
    1
  13686. Hi! I would have it checked
    1
  13687. Hi! For the same brand there’s no difference. Toyota branded oil is very good for Toyota models
    1
  13688. Original ones are not cheap
    1
  13689. Yes they are very good.
    1
  13690. Hi! Likely it’s the cats. They are part of the exhaust manifold
    1
  13691. Hi! A few things to check. First that all tires are the same size and similar brand on each axle. And then make sure your tire pressure is now low on one tire. Last inspect the speed sensors for debris.
    1
  13692. They are good after 2014
    1
  13693. Hi! Any CT past 2014 and good
    1
  13694. Hi! Which model?
    1
  13695. They’re good if taken care of
    1
  13696. Hi! It’s good. They do have a few common issues like leaks from radiator and water pump
    1
  13697. Working on cars can do that to mechanics. I wish him the best. Hope he gets a long deserved vacation to recharge. Best wishes to you and your family.
    1
  13698. Hi! Many models were affected. Which model do you havev
    1
  13699. Replaced pistons and rings with updated units
    1
  13700. They’re ok. The hybrid being the highest in my list
    1
  13701. Hi! Make sure they’re taken care of! They are very good but if neglected things can get a bit expensive
    1
  13702. It does have D4 not D4S. Make sure you use premium fuel and use good quality fuel
    1
  13703. Depends on the engine. Which model and year do you have?
    1
  13704. Hi! Honestly they were not known for the steering to jam up or the axle to break. Was the weather extremely cold when it happened?
    1
  13705. Hi! Check for loose battery terminals. And also how old is the battery?
    1
  13706. DIY friendly. Do it yourself mechanic friendly
    1
  13707. Hi! Yes you can that’s low mileage!
    1
  13708. Hi! They are good but do have a few things that are chronic
    1
  13709. Driving experience is350 comfort and lower cost of ownership ES350
    1
  13710. They’re good if taken care of. You’ll go through a lot of tires and brakes are a bit pricey but for what kind of car it is they’re not too bad price wise
    1
  13711. Hi! I am in the Chicago area. Schedule is a bit tight at the moment should get better by June. Email with the subject Chicago service request
    1
  13712. They typically don’t blow head gaskets. Some of them develop an external coolant leak. Not as common lately
    1
  13713. Hi! If it’s a small leak it might take some time to become an issue.
    1
  13714. Hi! They are generally good if they’re taken care of
    1
  13715. Since you have techstream I would attempt to bleed it and see if the codes clear and it stays good.
    1
  13716. Hi! Do you have a scan tool capable of reading abs codes?
    1
  13717. Hi! A video is planned in the near future for those models
    1
  13718. Hi! Doing oil changes every 5k is a very good start. The early model did have a few issues with the turbo but not the newer ones so far
    1
  13719. Sorry I didn’t explain well. The GS430 is a gem and a great car to own as well. Just like the LS430 which I highly recommend
    1
  13720. Missed it. To me it’s up there with the ls430
    1
  13721. Hi! Not sold in that year in the US. Which engine does it have?
    1
  13722. Was the engine running when it did that?
    1
  13723. Hi! They’ll need replacement
    1
  13724. Hi! Keep up the basic maintenance and make sure you get a safety inspection to make sure the car is safe and it doesn’t need any attention to brakes and tires
    1
  13725. They’re good
    1
  13726. Hi! They are good after 2014
    1
  13727. They are good cars as well
    1
  13728. Here’s a direct link https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeFzfl0Q8rQVtXIaJSF7EtirvTRhSbsrV
    1
  13729. Hi! They are much better reliability wise than the X3. If you can find a good maintained example most years are good.
    1
  13730. Hi! Unfortunately some of these had this issue. At some point there was a campaign to fix it but that is likely expired. Other than looking into a replacement there’s not much as far as care that can be done
    1
  13731. Hi! These are great! But rust is not kind to them in my area
    1
  13732. Hi! Good maintenance will really help durability of the turbos. They’re too new to know their long term durability but there has been cases of turbos failing from medium to low maintenance
    1
  13733. Hi! Something is likely still out of alignment. The first thing is to get a very good alignment diagnosis. Not just an alignment. They need to really read into the alignment to see what’s bent and what needs repairs and go from there
    1
  13734. Hi! The RX400 is good just make sure you buy one with good maintenance history
    1
  13735. Hi! Just check for leaks especially rack and pinion, engine and cooling system
    1
  13736. Hi! No experience with that engine as it was never sold in my area
    1
  13737. Hi! This is generally overall a good car. Keep up the maintenance.
    1
  13738. Hi! Those year IS300s are good cars to own. Some small oil leaks are common especially the valve covers. Not very hard to fix not expensive. Make sure whichever example you buy is taken care of especially maintenance. Don’t buy a modified one. Don’t buy a rusty one
    1
  13739. Didn’t get the question. The new is300 or the original one?
    1
  13740. Hi! It’s a one off model and a nice oneb
    1
  13741. Not yet.
    1
  13742. Hi! Likely no diesel for Lexus at least in the US. The old pre 1998 es300 is too old and in my area are usually very rusty. Lx450 is good but finding ones that are not modified and/or taken care of is getting hard
    1
  13743. Didn’t know who that was! I can see the resemblance!
    1
  13744. Hi! They are with good maintenance
    1
  13745. I would avoid the IS250 and instead go with the IS350
    1
  13746. Hi! That’s a new car
    1
  13747. Hi! Good cars especially after 2014
    1
  13748. Hi! Labeling will be different. If it has a 4GR-FSE I would avoid it, otherwise it’s a good model
    1
  13749. Hi! All cars will have a sticker under the hood that’s the emissions label which should list the engine model
    1
  13750. Hi! Hard to tell in number of years. But it is a very good truck to buy.
    1
  13751. Hi! They’re ok. I don’t like the turbo model for long term reliability
    1
  13752. They’re good after 2014
    1
  13753. Hi! The SC and RC are good. NX turbo is just ok. The hybrid is great on the NX
    1
  13754. Both
    1
  13755. Hi! These are good SUVs. Radiator and water pump leaks are somewhat common. Otherwise stay on top of the maintenance and all is good
    1
  13756. Hi! 61 or even 100k miles is nothing for the GX with good maintenance. I would be concerned about rust issues on the New Jersey car. I would look underneath it to make sure. The L certified is very good but if the 2016 passes a pre purchase inspection and has good service history it’s good and makes more sense
    1
  13757. Hi! The RC in my book is similar to the GS so it’s good
    1
  13758. Hi! Off roading won’t typically rust the frame. Salt use on the roads rusts the frame. If you are concerned about this a light undercoating with something like fluid film will protect it
    1
  13759. Hi! It’s not a bad model but the turbo one is not high on the recommended list
    1
  13760. Hi! You can but it’s a bit tedious and requires experience. I would do a video if I get one
    1
  13761. Hi! Still see issues with the D4 engines on the later ones. They are better but still prone to the same thing under certain driving conditions
    1
  13762. Cars were simpler back in the day. Today they’re more complicated and RWD configurations are generally harder to work on and have higher labor costs
    1
  13763. Hi! Unless it has pristine service history I would stay away as well
    1
  13764. Waiting for new car to be built after the 2012 Camry was totaled!
    1
  13765. They are good but that generation did have few chronic issues to make it not the Best Buy at this age
    1
  13766. Hi! They are good 2014 and up
    1
  13767. Thank you for watching!
    1
  13768. Hi! Working to get one.
    1
  13769. These are good
    1
  13770. Hi! They’re good but really don’t do well with rust.
    1
  13771. Hi! They’re ok but I worry about turbo reliability long term
    1
  13772. Hi! I did one for Toyota. Here’s the link https://youtu.be/V612Ow3hJAs
    1
  13773. The 1UR is reliable. The valley coolant leak is somewhat common but otherwise they don’t have many issues
    1
  13774. Hi! Not really. They are completely different to a point where you’d have to redesign the whole engine
    1
  13775. Hi! It’s a good model.
    1
  13776. Hi! It could be the pcv valve. Replace it and see if it improves
    1
  13777. Hi! They are good. I have my reservations on the turbo model
    1
  13778. These are good cars as long as the maintenance is kepy
    1
  13779. Hi! Email me with the subject Chicago service request
    1
  13780. Hi! It’s a very good model you have. The hybrid is the best one in the NX line up
    1
  13781. Hi! Depends on driving conditions. Using good quality gas and avoiding short drives helps a lot
    1
  13782. Hi! Honestly hard to tell without inspection as it’s modified. Do you have different tires that are larger? Perhaps they’re rubbing?
    1
  13783. This one is interesting. Do you happen to leave the key close by to the car or not lock it when it’s parked? There should be some parasitic draw killing the battery
    1
  13784. Hi! For the 2022 Prius you can use 0w20
    1
  13785. Hi! They likely share suppliers but not parts directly except the scion FRS which is codeveloped.
    1
  13786. Hi! The engine in this video is off a 2020 Camry with the 2.5L A25A engine
    1
  13787. Hi! That should be the recommendation in your owners manual and I would go with it
    1
  13788. Hi! The RAV4 prime is limited to 2500lbs towing. The adventure is 3500 which is the max of any RAV4 in the newest generation
    1
  13789. Your highlander has a V6. The engine in this video is a 4 cylinder.
    1
  13790. I suspect bad fuel and a faulty new pump. When you had the old fuel pump did you have fuel pressure? Also when you turn the key on, does the security light flash?
    1
  13791. Hi! They use the recommended oil which is 0w16 full synthetic. Doing your oil changes at 5k intervals is recommended
    1
  13792. There’s no recorded oil dilution problem with this engine?
    1
  13793. Yes it does
    1
  13794. There’s a good chance there are different programming and versions for different markets stick with what’s written on your owners manual
    1
  13795. Hi! I mean it will be a good engine as years pass and miles as up.
    1
  13796. The 2.0 in the new corolla is a variant of this engine and has the same technology. I think it will be a good engine down the road.
    1
  13797. Hi! There’s always a slight time when you start the engine after an oil change or lower pressure but because you’re at idle speed it won’t affect the engine health
    1
  13798. Hi! I personally don’t like the kn filters. I would just stick with the paper ones that are one time use
    1
  13799. Hi! For the Dynamic force engine if your owners manual says use 0w16 only I would use that oil only. The viscosity of the oil that caused damaged is not known specifically but it was greater than 10w30
    1
  13800. If the engine is designed to run on that Oil then it won’t damage anything. Been used for sometime now and cars are getting very high mileage using the 0w weight oils
    1
  13801. Hi! I shared a bit about me in this video https://youtu.be/fw8LexpoXxI
    1
  13802. They started with the 2018 Camry. Now many models have it including corollas RAV4 Venza hybrid highlander hybrid Avalon Awd Avalon hybrid...etc
    1
  13803. Hi! Thank you for watching my video. So they started with the 2018 Camry and now it’s in many models (RAV4,Venza, some corollas, highlander hybrid, Avalon hybrid and Awd... and many more)
    1
  13804. Hi! I do if it fits your needs and you like it. Here’s a review that I did on the new venza https://youtu.be/2TxBiMQCLlg
    1
  13805. Hi! Thank you for clarifying! Toyota in the US have no diesel options. The first Toyota badged car that had D4S in the US was the 2016 Tacoma with the 2GR-FKS followed by 2017 highlander/sienna then this engine on the 2018 Camry.
    1
  13806. Hi! It does have plastic valve covers and plastic coolant pipes but the water pump is mechanical
    1
  13807. Hi! The updated v6 have some of the features but not all of them
    1
  13808. I would change it every 5k or 6 months
    1
  13809. Hi! Depends on your budget. 2010-2015 models are really good with either engine option. I’d avoid 2016 and 2017+ are good as well
    1
  13810. No the CT uses the same engine as the Prius.
    1
  13811. Stick with 85 at elevation. No real benefit going to 89
    1
  13812. That is correct Joseph
    1
  13813. I would run the octane no that the car requires. No real benefit in running higher octane at all. You can undercoat a hybrid. Everything underneath it is essentially the same as any other car except the presence of the high voltage cable which is weather insulated and rust proofing over it won’t hurt it one bit.
    1
  13814. Thank you for watching my videos. I'll add the video idea to the list and film it when possible and post it
    1
  13815. Towing capacities might vary. Ask at your dealership for the towing limit
    1
  13816. Thank you for watching my video. The switch to direct injection mode is likely the reason it gets louder. Also on hybrids both paddle shifters and the s mode are very similar
    1
  13817. Hi! Yes it is
    1
  13818. Michelle it could be that the car is engaging B mode to help with braking. Try this. Drive on a flat area and put your shifter in B mode and see if it shifts the same way when you set the cruise control in hilly areas.
    1
  13819. Thank you! It is a good engine
    1
  13820. They’re not bad to replace. We’ll see how long they last
    1
  13821. Hi! On non hybrid models you should be ok as long as it’s installed properly and not over done.
    1
  13822. Hi! Yes it is the same family of engines. Just different displacement
    1
  13823. Hi! Read the oil recommendation in your owners manual.
    1
  13824. Not yet. Will do one when I get one
    1
  13825. Yes for this engine.
    1
  13826. Yes it is
    1
  13827. Hi Roy! Thank you for watching my video! I thought about listing the gas mileage ratings but they vary by model but they’re easily into the 30s and even into 40mpgs+. I think they designed this engine to comply with stricter gas mileage and emissions standards so they can have it for a long time.
    1
  13828. The engine oil dipstick is on all Toyota models as of today except the Supra
    1
  13829. It does have both port and direct
    1
  13830. Hi! The current Camry hybrid does have this engine. It’s not a rattle when it switches it just gets louder.
    1
  13831. Hi dave, I totally hear you. They’re very loud. However insulating that loud direct injection pump and injectors is simply not possible. Even much more expensive luxury cars are much louder than the older ones because of that.
    1
  13832. Hi! When you rev the engine and hold it past 1500 rpm the computer will enter coolant fill mode and it will run the water pump at full speed and open all valves.
    1
  13833. Hi! The new 2.0 in the corolla has the exact same technology as this one.
    1
  13834. That’s coming up in the series for engine control in a few weeks I hope. EGR clogging has to do with driving conditions and quality of gas and maintenance
    1
  13835. Honestly Bryan the Toyota ATF WS is the perfect fluid for Toyota transmission that call for it. You are guaranteed 100% that the fluid is compatible with the transmission. I think Amsoil is an awesome oil company but unless they hand me a written guarantee with my name, my cars VIN number and mileage that everything will be perfect with my transmission I am not using their fluid or anything else but Original fluid. I am sorry to say the following. Folks take it as a challenge to deviate from the original transmission fluid. And what I don’t understand is what is the gain? To prolong the life of the transmission? Maybe for other brands but Toyota transmissions are some of the best out there. Replace your fluid with ATF WS every 60k and you’ll remember me at 300-400k when the thing is still going strong. People have already done this and got this kind of miles from the transmission with no issues.
    1
  13836. Thank you for watching my video Bryan. The Toyota official oil is supplied by Mobil 1 so using Mobil one full synthetic 0w16 is good. I wouldn’t put any other transmission fluid other than ATF WS when the car calls for it.
    1
  13837. They started on 2018
    1
  13838. Hi! Could you describe the noise?
    1
  13839. Direct injection
    1
  13840. No it should be ok
    1
  13841. Hi! This is the same engine in a 2018 Camry US model. It does use direct and port fuel injection at the same time. Also it does use an electric water pump
    1
  13842. Absolutely. Good maintenance on this engine is essential.
    1
  13843. Hi! Is this a hybrid model?
    1
  13844. Hi! Follow your owners manual recommendation
    1
  13845. The LE Camry in that generation does have lithium ion
    1
  13846. Hi! This is a naturally aspirated engine
    1
  13847. Thank you for your feedback. Background music is gone in newer videos.
    1
  13848. The 8 speed is quirky but it’s not a problem. It’s just too many gears to shuffle through. If Toyota is not reliable I don’t know what car is. Don’t worry, you’ll have this car for a long time.
    1
  13849. It could be the transmission downshifting.
    1
  13850. I’m with you on this 100% I always wondered why do we still have a thermostat.
    1
  13851. Hybrid transmissions don’t have much to break in. 2 electric motors and a series of shafts and gears.
    1
  13852. Thank you for watching my video! The transmission doesn’t have a break in fluid replacement interval. I would change the transmission fluid for non hybrids at 60k or 6 years
    1
  13853. Hi! Removing the egr is an emissions violation.
    1
  13854. Hi! What’s the name of the engine or which car model and year is it out of?
    1
  13855. I haven’t really looked at other manufacturers but for education purposes which other manufacturers use a similar system?
    1
  13856. Thank you for your comment. Do you have any information from personal experience on the block cracking?
    1
  13857. Hi! Regular driving and good quality gas.
    1
  13858. The electric fuel pump in the fuel tank is ran by the computer. The high pressure fuel pump is driven by the camshaft
    1
  13859. Many factors play into this. Always follow your owners manual recommendations for oil
    1
  13860. I am not familiar with honda’s 1.5 turbo engine. Sorry I work exclusively on Toyota products
    1
  13861. Hi! I haven’t and that engine is very reliable as long as the maintenance is kept.
    1
  13862. It’s still driven by the engine mechanically but controlled electronically if it has this engine to change the output
    1
  13863. Hi! Thank you for watching my videos! Fuel injectors cleaner is not required to be used in the us in some markets it is but not in the us. I would consult your maintenance guide. Toyota does have CVT transmissions started with the 2014 corolla in the us and some other models as well.

  13864. That is my opinion and what I do with my cars. As engine parts wear in when they are new some debris might be present and it’s a good idea to get it out after the end of the break in period.
    1
  13865. Hi! It’s doesn’t only has 4
    1
  13866. That as well. It gets even worse with direct injection.
    1
  13867. We haven’t really seen any issues with electric water pumps. Some of the 3rd generation Prius with electric water pumps have failed but they were with high mileage and was not very expensive to replace.
    1
  13868. Recalls on cars with this engine are minimal and usually software related
    1
  13869. In my area in Chicago they don’t.
    1
  13870. Drain and fill and bleeding. We don’t have that model hybrid so I’m not 100% familiar with it but some of the older ones you needed a scan tool the newer ones you’d leave it running for a while and keep adding coolant.
    1
  13871. Hybrid inverter doesn’t have oil. It does have coolant though
    1
  13872. Hi! If you have no issues likely not
    1
  13873. Thanks for watching! Yes it does.
    1
  13874. I don’t see the link between the two from a service stand point. If there was technology shared I wouldn’t know about it as Toyota doesn’t share everything with everyone.
    1
  13875. Hi! This engine makes around 200hp and oil consumption is possible in every new engine if maintenance is not followed and closely.
    1
  13876. That is not what we were told at the official factory training when this engine came out. There has been issues with these engines related to oil including metal shavings and even knocking due to incorrect oil used. I don’t know how I feel about trying different oil viscosity just for the sake of trying.
    1
  13877. Transmissions warming up faster is also a good thing for the transmission as they usually shift oddly when they’re cold.
    1
  13878. Interesting I haven’t run into one with D4S with carbon issues. usually they were the 2.5 in the IS and the 3.0 in the GS that were terrible.
    1
  13879. Hi Neil. They were terrible in some Lexus models but not the ones with D4S. They were terrible on the direct injection only and yes those were terrible. Have you seen a case of a D4S bad carbon build up?
    1
  13880. That’s possible however follow the recommendation from the owners manual for your car.
    1
  13881. Hi! Their cars have gotten better with rust recently. But truck frames remain open to rust if you don’t undercoat them and live in an area with salt use in the winter
    1
  13882. Hi! I already did a full technical review of this car. See the link in the description
    1
  13883. Hi! Rumors of a hybrid model are strong but not yet confirmed by toyota. 360 camera is not an option yet
    1
  13884. Hi! That’s likely the purge valve and they do make a buzzing noise when they’re operational. Now is it loud to a point where you hear it inside the car? Or just when the hood is open
    1
  13885. Hi! I would yes
    1
  13886. Hi! It’s an emission device it cannot be permanently disabled other than turning it off everytime
    1
  13887. Hi! They are usually good if maintained well and you can expect the same reliability as toyota
    1
  13888. It does have apple car play?
    1
  13889. Hi! All 4Runners are basically the same from 2017-2022 the 2020 and up had some updated tech
    1
  13890. Hi! It will have more power and get even better gas mileage
    1
  13891. Hi! It’s a 2.0 similar to the corolla se, xse and hatchback
    1
  13892. Serious rumors about the hybrid coming later in the year but nothing confirmed yet
    1
  13893. Not yet. Likely to have a similar drivetrain of the UX we looked at a few weeks back
    1
  13894. Hi! Just to clarify does the fan run all the time? Or doesn’t run at all?
    1
  13895. It has lane tracing assist but no blind spot monitor
    1
  13896. The one in the video doesn’t have smart key.
    1
  13897. Hi! Sometimes the RPM will drop as the transmission shifts back into the first gear which would be normal
    1
  13898. If the other side works at the same time/temperature it could be the touch sensor. Check the wiring and everything in the door. Also make sure that the key is being picked up. When you stand next to the door, the light in the key should flash
    1
  13899. Hi! If it happens the time then it could be an issue with the handle touch sensor
    1
  13900. Hi! They are good after 2018. I did a full series on the Tacoma you might find it useful
    1
  13901. Hi! Yes 60k or 6 years from the current replacement
    1
  13902. No it has a 6 speed automatic
    1
  13903. Hybrid or non hybrid? And the hissing noise you hear it inside occasionally?
    1
  13904. Slightly smaller back seat
    1
  13905. Hi! You got a link to the video?
    1
  13906. Yes other than the SE and XSE
    1
  13907. Hi! Depends how many miles you have they could be covered by warranty if indeed that is the cause
    1
  13908. Hi! Could be a few things like axles. Will need in person diagnosis
    1
  13909. Camry is nicer at highway drives but the corolla is not bad
    1
  13910. Hi! Depends on the options.
    1
  13911. Yes I do
    1
  13912. Hi! The Camry is a bigger car and of course better but it’s also 5k more
    1
  13913. Toyota doesn’t allow that kind of change with their scan tools
    1
  13914. This engine has d4S which has both port and direct
    1
  13915. I wish they’d make the trims available in all configurations. The hybrid is a very good trim but not available in the SE and XSe
    1
  13916. I like the D8 for their price.
    1
  13917. Hi! Honestly we’ll need to find a similar model that has a spare tire and get the size off of it
    1
  13918. Hi! Honestly this varies by dealership. 1-2 hours of labor plus parts is about what you’d expect
    1
  13919. Every 60k or 6 years
    1
  13920. Hi! Every 60k miles or 6 years. On these you’ll need a scan tool
    1
  13921. On your 2016 corolla the bulb is not replacable
    1
  13922. Hi! No they don’t. The closest thing you can get to a matrix is the corolla hatchback
    1
  13923. Hi! The Yaris HB which is a mazda 2 is ok. Only issue we’ve seen is carbon build up because it’s direct injection only
    1
  13924. No I didn’t mention it because it’s not new to this engine. The 2AR also had an oil separator
    1
  13925. No the corolla hybrid has a different engine. The regular corolla with the 2.0 has a variant of this engine
    1
  13926. Hi! Check your owners manual does it list 0w16 only or allows others?
    1
  13927. Hi! It could be normal. Have your dealership double check
    1
  13928. It’s possible it does that when switching between injection modes
    1
  13929. Hi! Which model?
    1
  13930. The motor is a dc motor
    1
  13931. Yes similar
    1
  13932. Hi! Thank you for watching my video. This is the same engine in the 2021 sienna hybrid. I made a series explaining how hybrids work. Here’s a link to that series https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeFzfl0Q8rQUgJLQheNbttBtKT6iSOX4D
    1
  13933. Interesting. What oil weight did you use?
    1
  13934. I totally hear you on that sound. It’s a normal sound of this engine but it does sound like a lifter noise or rod knock but of course it’s not. New engines are getting Louder and louder.
    1
  13935. It’s all in the tuning of the engine. Nothing much have changed between these cars
    1
  13936. Thank you for watching my channel Have a wonderful weekend!
    1
  13937. Thank you for your comment. In my entire career with Toyota I’ve never seen an engine computer that’s in the engine bay fail. Also the spring clamps are not random. They are designed to expand and contract with heat so they keep sufficient tension on the hose at all times. Screw clamps or worm clamps are the ones that leak or crack the plastic housing underneath them because people often over tighten them and then they leak when the engine warms up and everything expands. Your RAV4 is awesome and other than maintenance which is very simple and easy to do, doubt you’ll be dealing with any of the fancy electronics much.
    1
  13938. Hi! I would read your owners manual on the recommended oil and follow it
    1
  13939. Not really months. It’s an online class then a 3 day class. And then the best training in the world, tearing 2 of them apart in customer cars. That’s usually the best training any mechanic can get.
    1
  13940. Hi! 2018-2022 Camry 2019-2022 rav4
    1
  13941. Yes that is correct you want to stay steadily over 1500 so perhaps go at 2000 rpm
    1
  13942. I’ll try to push the video for this up the list to get it done sooner.
    1
  13943. No need to take the heater hoses. Just when you fill it with coolant take the hose I showed you in the video until it comes out then start and raise the engine rpm over 1500 until the fan comes on twice
    1
  13944. Thank you for watching my video. I am looking into making a video on how to change the coolant on this engine. But in short you will drain the coolant from the radiator then open the hose that I showed you in the video. Fill it with coolant until coolant comes out of that hose then install the hose back and start the car. Hold the rpm over 1500 rpm until the fans come on twice and you’re all set.
    1
  13945. Hi frank! Thank you for watching my video! At this time there’s no way to turn it off permanently at least from the Toyota side. I’ll update if that changes
    1
  13946. I would consider using compressed air to dry electrical connectors to be on the safe side.
    1
  13947. Thank you for watching. It’s not possible to add them for reasonable cost as the software is different as well from LE vs SE
    1
  13948. The pcv valve is between the intake manifold and the cylinder head. You have to remove the intake to access it
    1
  13949. Hi! So far no egr problems
    1
  13950. It’s the exact same engine in this video. It’s good but during test driving it felt a bit down on power. The v6 would be my obvious choice even without the AWD
    1
  13951. Hi! They’re not too bad on basic things
    1
  13952. The + - is used for engine braking. It used to be just a single setting called B mode but that is basically a varied level of b mode. Here’s a series I made on how hybrids work which will be followed in the future by how plug in hybrids work https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeFzfl0Q8rQUgJLQheNbttBtKT6iSOX4D
    1
  13953. Hi! I would have to check the specs
    1
  13954. Thank you for watching my videos. This engine is exactly the same as the one in your 2020 RAV4.
    1
  13955. Hi Michelle! No this engine started with the 18 Camry and now went into a lot of Toyota models and hybrids but not the Prius.
    1
  13956. Hi and thank you for watching my videos. All the models you mentioned are reliable with very little issues. The hybrid corolla is really nice with awesome options I just encourage you to test drive it and make sure you like how it drives. The Camry is bigger and nicer but also more expensive to buy. Hybrids are good for fuel mileage and non hybrids are cheaper and also get good gas mileage but not like hybrids.
    1
  13957. Would be awesome!
    1
  13958. Hi! Different regions might have different programming but this engine has the variable oil pump and I would use 0w16 with it
    1
  13959. Hi! At the moment I haven’t reviewed the hybrid model yet
    1
  13960. That changes the timing of the cam but it still has a timing chain
    1
  13961. Hi! The recommended gasoline for your car is 87 octane. I recommend a top tier gas station.
    1
  13962. Hi! The sienna will likely not be getting a different engine option as the one it has right now. It’s not the fastest or like the old sienna with the V6 but it has enough power to get it moving.
    1
  13963. Very good with good maintenance.
    1
  13964. If you go in maintenance mode and press the gas pedal down the engine will rev up
    1
  13965. Hi! No registration is needed. If the car is equipped with auto stop start and you’re not using an original battery a registration is needed so auto stop start would work again
    1
  13966. Oil consumption is rarely caused by a pcv unless it’s completely clogged and that’s not common with good maintained engines.
    1
  13967. Hi! The intake camshaft is driven by the chain but through the gear. So the gear can advance and retard timing.
    1
  13968. That was actually experimented with but failed. Not with compressed air but with solenoids instead of a cam shaft
    1
  13969. This engine came out in the 2018 Camry and now it’s in a lot of newer Toyota modes.
    1
  13970. Hi! Yes I plan to once I get one to film with
    1
  13971. On hybrids you press the gas pedal to the floor it will rev up and start bouncing( not to red line) slightly back off and that’s your rpm range. And of course you’d be in maintenance mode where the engine runs all the time
    1
  13972. No it will release any air pockets that otherwise would cause issues like overheating. Just pliers to remove the clamp that holds the hose. Some of the early ones had a quick release hose where you just push a tab and it comes out
    1
  13973. You can remove the high pressure line. There's a procedure for discharging the line for service. Once the pressure is discharged you can remove the line. And Toyota recommends that you don't reuse the line when removed. So as a recommendation the line would need replacement as well.
    1
  13974. Hi! Follow the recommendation on the manual for this one. In very cold weather 0w16 is actually recommended. If your temperature is higher follow the chart in the manual for the range
    1
  13975. It’s not a new car sticker :-) it’s a demo car that’s a 2019 model.
    1
  13976. It won’t void the warranty as it’s a plug and play device
    1
  13977. We have come across this. And the typical answer is that this is the cost of going with bigger tires. However I wonder if everyone with these tires have the same issue exactly. Because it could very well be defective tires
    1
  13978. Hi! Is it a vibration or a harmonic vibration due to the nature of the tires?
    1
  13979. Hi! RR in this case means rear. They’re the same left and right. And for the press you’ll need a long press basically as long as the axle. You’ll need a tube with a flange that connects to the bearing so you can hold it then press the axle through. It is a pain even with the official tools which can be bought through the dealership but are very expensive I would research outside as well.
    1
  13980. Honestly if you need a truck with a bed go with the Tacoma. If you like the closed up SUV stick with the 4runner. Don’t overpay for a 4runner ( over MSRP )
    1
  13981. Hi! The electronic add is very reliable in the front. You’ll just need to activate it once a month and that should be enough to keep it reliable
    1
  13982. Yes it would work and decrease the charge time
    1
  13983. Hi! Once you clear 1000 miles you’re good to go for towing
    1
  13984. It’s not a bad car the Mazda Yaris but I’d say if you’re buying a Mazda buy it from Mazda. And this especially doesn’t make sense since Toyota still makes the yaris overseas
    1
  13985. Hi! I don’t have personal experience with ov tune but many say it works well. Pedal commander makes a noticeable difference
    1
  13986. They do not. I haven’t found a good one that works yet.
    1
  13987. Hi! This was an old TSB. If memory serves right the housing gets replaced with updated units
    1
  13988. We got Michelin defender 2 and pretty happy with how quiet they are. Likely not going to be the greatest in snow but I suppose we’ll find out
    1
  13989. It is a good idea if you there doing work to the valve cover or replacing the spark plugs
    1
  13990. Hi! Spraying the frame with a protective coating that protects it from rust
    1
  13991. Hi! Small surface rust is ok. Just nothing severe where it’s rotting basically.
    1
  13992. Hi! Email with the subject Chicago service request
    1
  13993. Hi! How many miles and was the fluid ever changed?
    1
  13994. Hi! Is it a transmission stutter or engine stutter? I
    1
  13995. Hi! Send an email to thecarcarenut@gmail.com with the subject Chicago service request. And they’ll figure out a day that works for you and go from there
    1
  13996. I would still set the fluid level
    1
  13997. Yes I would
    1
  13998. Hi! Tire rotations every 5k as well. Also at 30k check the cabin and air filter and replace as needed
    1
  13999. Hi! It is with bad maintenance. Less common with good maintenance especially the coolant.
    1
  14000. That is correct
    1
  14001. That seems a bit louder than normal. Perhaps valve adjustment will fix it
    1
  14002. Hi! The ticking might be normal. You’ll want to compare it to another model. These are not know for vvti problems. The cap is condensation
    1
  14003. Hi! My first name is Ahmed or AMD for short
    1
  14004. It should come on when needed so you’ll see it cycle on and off. If you still have issues with cooling performance in hot weather take it back to them
    1
  14005. Hi! Honestly they don’t have an interval. If they’re not leaking and not bouncy I wouldn’t replace them
    1
  14006. Hi! Switch the tire/wheel combo with a known good combo and see if it goes away
    1
  14007. Hi! I have no experience with Nissan
    1
  14008. Thecarcarenut@gmail.com
    1
  14009. Hi’ email me with the subject Chicago service request
    1
  14010. I’d have to look it up it’s been a while
    1
  14011. Hi! I haven’t run into this one. You’ll need to isolate if the noise is coming from the transmission
    1
  14012. Hi! The noise from the engine is normal. They’re a bit on the loud side. On the rattle from the back it will need some in person diagnosis. Is the spare tire secured?
    1
  14013. Hi! That is correct. One of the cylinder heads need to be removed to replace the knock sensor and wite
    1
  14014. 6 cylinder
    1
  14015. Once you get past 100k on original fluid the risk increases
    1
  14016. Thecarcarenut at gmail dot com
    1
  14017. Email me with the subject Chicago service request
    1
  14018. Still. That’s a bit older and has seen it’s fair share of salt. It’s up to you but if you still consider it I would look very close at the frame and other components underneath
    1
  14019. I wouldn’t honestly. You’ll have a hard time finding mechanics willing to work on it in Texas
    1
  14020. No the us didn’t get that
    1
  14021. Hi! I would check the fluid level I have a video that’ll show you how to do that
    1
  14022. Hi! It’s not something chronic to happen but it can happen with age
    1
  14023. Hi! Likely the early ones didn’t have updates.
    1
  14024. Yes the 2nd generation Scion xB has oil consumption as well.
    1
  14025. Hi! Depends on your budget and what she needs in a car
    1
  14026. That’s the first thing that was checked. Dealerships do have the ability to check if a car has been to other dealerships and for what
    1
  14027. Hi! They do degrade over time but if you don’t have a concern with them I wouldn’t replace them just because. They last a very long time
    1
  14028. Hi! I wouldn’t personally
    1
  14029. I would inspect the area and try to see if you hear where the sound is coming from
    1
  14030. Hard to tell without diagnosis but anything else got damaged when the tire blew out?
    1
  14031. They shouldn’t squeak unless there’s high moisture like after rain
    1
  14032. This is going to sound strange but check the oil level
    1
  14033. Hi! It’s not needed honestly.
    1
  14034. Hi! If you feel like the dealership went above and beyond to accommodate your requests and you’re happy with them, the gesture of bringing some cookies is greatly appreciated and is actually a good way to get them to be on your side.
    1
  14035. Hi! It’s possible however do you have any symptoms like knocking sounds over bumps?
    1
  14036. Hopefully not! We'll see when the engine comes back.
    1
  14037. I am leaning towards that. Finding replacements that are trusted is hard. Going to take it apart and see what we can do to fix the existing one if possible.
    1
  14038. Costco
    1
  14039. You'll see an update on that when it's closer to happening.
    1
  14040. Not something chronic with these at least from my experience. unless they have cracks or they're non OEM replacments.
    1
  14041. It's been mostly quiet as most of these cars are under warranty and most of their chronic things are dealt with under warranty. On the 2.5 we've quite a bit of coolant valves and a lot of purge valves sticking
    1
  14042. OEM only for VVT-I Solenoids honestly.
    1
  14043. Wiring seat heaters is not very difficult even if the wires are not there. Hard to tell without looking at the car if the wires are there honestly.
    1
  14044. Thank you for the suggestion! I think that is the plan but we may need to repair the wall a bit better for semi gloss paint and look good
    1
  14045. Hi! I pushed this video back but I need to get it back up on the list.
    1
  14046. Hi! It’s a 5 volt reference that gets changed. More on the 5v reference sensors when we get to that part of the series
    1
  14047. Remove the hose that goes to the booster and plug it. See if the fuel trims drop to normal if it does then the booster is leaking
    1
  14048. You can use vice grips. With the engine idling and your scan tool connected pinch the hose and watch the readings
    1
  14049. Ok you’ll want to check a few things. Pinch the purge line going to the intake and see if they short fuel trim goes -16 to -20. If it does then you have a bad purge valve. From there it will be many things to check and things get a bit complicated as you’ll need a 2 way scan tool
    1
  14050. That’s too high. Is it both banks or just one?
    1
  14051. Hi! It should run with the maf unplugged. It will initially die when you unplug it. How high are your fuel trims
    1
  14052. I’m in the Chicago area
    1
  14053. That could be just the D4S system switching injection modes on start up which is normal but annoying
    1
  14054. Hi! Honestly neither of them will be ideal. The prime might be better vs the Tesla in this scenario of repeated 6-12 month storage but ideally a conventional gasoline car will do better in this scenario.
    1
  14055. I’d say 2018 for simplicity and 2019 for technology and features
    1
  14056. Vvti rattles are not common at all on this generation hybrid highlander. Likely either normal or something is causing a starting misfire.
    1
  14057. Hi! Many reasons these lights could come on and usually are related to each other. I would have the dealership take a look it could be something simple and is covered by warranty
    1
  14058. Hi! Likely the belt is not timed right. On that engine you need to install the bottom cover with the belt installed, then put the crank pulley and align the whole on the cam gear with the mark on the cam cap. You’ll use a mirror to look through the hole to see the mark
    1
  14059. Hi! There’s a procedure that the dealership can do to reset the gauge. See if it gets better after thay
    1
  14060. Hi! Thank you for watching! When the 12v battery dies eventually the car won’t be able to turn on. You can jump start it and it’ll start
    1
  14061. Everything is possible however the cost is so large that it’s not even worth it. Starting with the cost of a prime battery.
    1
  14062. Hi! 0w16 or 0w20
    1
  14063. Yes you can clean the engine. Don’t use power washer cover electronic components and don’t spray directly on the orange wires
    1
  14064. That’s very high. Did you try to find a used one?
    1
  14065. Hi! If the price is right it’s a good protection for your purchase
    1
  14066. Hi! If it’s for a good price I would
    1
  14067. Hi! They’re usually between 4000-5000 and that’s the range where they are the brightest
    1
  14068. No. Xreas is not the same or an alternative to KDSS they are completely different
    1
  14069. Thank you! It’s fixed.
    1
  14070. The TRD sport does have XREAS
    1
  14071. Yes
    1
  14072. Yes I have
    1
  14073. That would need to be trial and error honestly.
    1
  14074. Yes. I don’t recall red shocks in other models. Blue shocks in some are sport shocks
    1
  14075. It shouldn’t honestly but if you’d want to keep an eye for it if you bought a limited model which has it
    1
  14076. Hi! Biggest thing is rust and maintenance records
    1
  14077. Hi! They are different
    1
  14078. Hi! Really hard to show on video. You’d have to feel how things are with the land cruiser. If you’ve been a Toyota owner for some time, you’ll immediately notice that the materials on the land cruiser are different. Even some Lexus models don’t come close
    1
  14079. Don’t worry. Send a sample to oil analysis to get to the bottom of the grains. And for now consider shorter intervals like 3000-5000
    1
  14080. Hi! Try a shorter interval of oil changes. Did you own this since it was new?
    1
  14081. Hi! I would love to unfortunately they’re not available in my area
    1
  14082. Hi! No information on any upcoming FJ that is confirmed yet.
    1
  14083. Hi! Without a scan tool it’s not possible
    1
  14084. Hi! I’d say it’s more of a tundra issue than a land cruiser. I’ve seen it on 200 series but not as common as certain year tundras
    1
  14085. Happy thanksgiving! People call them boring but the numbers don’t lie. They sell more than a lot of the more “exciting” cars that usually end up bankrupting their owners
    1
  14086. They’re honestly exactly the same in my opinion
    1
  14087. Happy thanksgiving!
    1
  14088. Honestly if you are not sure about the transmission fluid history I would leave it alone at this point
    1
  14089. Toyota sometimes make strange decisions. Perhaps they know things that we don’t about the market but it doesn’t make sense
    1
  14090. How about this one. 100 series Land cruiser V8 made in Japan. 4th gen 4runner V8 made in Japan also. The land cruiser is better made.
    1
  14091. Work truck
    1
  14092. It will need some diagnosis but it’s possible that it’s a torque converter
    1
  14093. Hi! Has the transmission fluid ever been changed before?
    1
  14094. Hi James! They are really good trucks. They don’t do well with rust and age but if protected and taken care of then they are really good
    1
  14095. There was talk a while back about that but it went quiet. With Toyota that either means it’s coming or never going to happen.
    1
  14096. Makes no sense but they started with the Tacoma and went with it.
    1
  14097. Honestly they’re all the same and good. Before 2016 had older tech and more classic looks. Go with the one that you like and fits your budget
    1
  14098. Hi! I haven’t seen one on that particular model but on other models. Usually the trunk hinges need adjustment
    1
  14099. One seat. Prices have dropped but not by much. Search on Google for this part number 7120060B70B2 and look for MSRP on parts.toyota.com
    1
  14100. Technically if you know exactly what you need then the salesman will help you through the paper work and process of buying exactly what you need since you already know exactly what you want. However the vast majority of people buying cars have many questions and need someone who will answer them and show them things about the car before they decide
    1
  14101. Hi! Not yet. Parts.Toyota.com for parts
    1
  14102. Hi! I haven’t gotten one of these. But the first thing is to recover and recharge the system to see if it’s low or over charged. Definitely not a normal sound
    1
  14103. If you pay it out right the dealership still makes a profit and usually it shouldn’t matter as much to them. Yes they make more when you finance but good dealerships wouldn’t make this an issue
    1
  14104. Hi! I don’t advise it. It gets to a point where the engine warms up too much. I’d just consider warming up the car for longer
    1
  14105. 5w30 conventional
    1
  14106. As good as the 2004 4runner and the FJ cruiser is they are absolutely not worth those prices! I would go with the 4runner new at sticker price honestly. It’s brand new and it’s a very good truck.
    1
  14107. Toyota Sequioa
    1
  14108. That should be long enough. A short trip is 5 miles or less
    1
  14109. I would order one if you need one. Start by going to Toyotas website and build one print the summary and head over to the dealership. Make sure you lock in the price and it’s not over MSRP
    1
  14110. Hi! Honestly some specs might differ and powertrain options. I would head to Toyotas website in the UK to see specs
    1
  14111. Hi! I would service it at the place you trust that does quality work. Just because it’s a dealership doesn’t mean it’s 100% good. If you have experience with the dealership and they’ve done good work and you’re happy then it’s good
    1
  14112. Hi! Hit and miss but it’s better than nothing. On the positive side if you see a consistent similar review for the same reason then it gets points for legitimacy. Equally for the negative. If you see the negative reviews for the same reason that is a logical and valid reason then odds are it’s true. But one single negative review isn’t a good indication because no place of business keeps 100% of their customers happy.
    1
  14113. 😂 Very common term with toyota techs
    1
  14114. Hi! It’s a quick jack by bendpak
    1
  14115. Hi! If you can afford a new one, buy it and keep it for a long time. If not find the newest used one that fits your budget after you do your research on the older models. 3k oil changes is ok but 5000 is also good
    1
  14116. Emails are becoming very difficult to keep up with at the moment. If you have any questions please leave them as comments on any video. If you don’t hear back in 48 hrs post it again
    1
  14117. Hi! It’s a quick jack lift by bendpak. It’s just under $2000 and it’s the super long 6000lbs unit. You can do major work on this lift. I haven’t really measured how high it goes but you can easily get underneath the car on a creeper
    1
  14118. Yea there is a thermostat
    1
  14119. I wouldn’t replace them if there’s no issue with them
    1
  14120. Hi! Same thing really. Only difference is buying it now rolls it into your financing if you are financing it
    1
  14121. They’re not the same but often mixed up. Trailing arms keep the wheel from moving forward or back
    1
  14122. That’s one thing I didn’t ask him about. Knowing Jorge it’s likely been replaced
    1
  14123. Let’s do it! One of my favorite models! Owned many of them in the past
    1
  14124. Hi! Does the trunk open with the key? If you turn the key to the side without opening the trunk you could actually disable the handle inside. And spark plugs every 120k or 10 years. And the cable is not hard to replace
    1
  14125. Hi! I’m not Assyrian my brother.
    1
  14126. Don’t remember it right off the top of my head but usually it’s 1.25 thread pitch and either 8 or 10mm
    1
  14127. Hi! Emissions is the short answer honestly.
    1
  14128. Hi! Honestly that depends on the dealership. Some will fix about anything to make it sellable others will send cars that are too rough to the auction. Pre purchase inspection is a must these days when buying a used car
    1
  14129. Yes they did have the same engine
    1
  14130. Hi Ed. Look for a 2005-2008 corolla. These are really good. And the livestream is usually in Saturdays at 7pm central time
    1
  14131. Honestly it’s minimal at best.
    1
  14132. Very difficult to clean and most people don’t do it right and end up causing issues
    1
  14133. Hi! I don’t like them honestly.
    1
  14134. Nice! What color?
    1
  14135. Ahmad Ghosheh nice! The media hypes a lot of things that turns out not be as crazy as they make it seem!
    1
  14136. That’s awesome! Never seen one of those I just googled it!
    1
  14137. Thank you so much! I’m really glad that I could help! Sad to see Nissan head the way they’re heading they used to make decent cars, still make some decent cars but not like before. Hope you have a blessed day!
    1
  14138. Nice! This car stayed in the family long! Even thieves couldn’t take it away!
    1
  14139. Nice first car!
    1
  14140. Lol that’s cool! I’m gonna look into it
    1
  14141. Nice!! Any memorable trips in the camper?
    1
  14142. Nice! These are indestructible
    1
  14143. Nice! Thank you for sharing.
    1
  14144. Nice! Toyota man from day one!
    1
  14145. That’s awesome! These are really good cars!
    1
  14146. Nice! Thanks
    1
  14147. Just immigrant lol used to rusty buckets here in Chicago. Free ac from the whole in the floor
    1
  14148. I remember that one 😂
    1
  14149. Very true. Glad the guy was ok
    1
  14150. Thank you!
    1
  14151. Nice! Thank you!
    1
  14152. Nice!!! That’s a pretty cool ride!
    1
  14153. Nice! The first car is not fun until it acts up! Thanks!
    1
  14154. Nice! V8?
    1
  14155. Nice! Proper first car! Wheels and an engine that’s all that’s needed!
    1
  14156. Nice!
    1
  14157. Nice!
    1
  14158. Joseph Juguilon unfortunately due to company policy I cannot. But the prices you can find online are very close within a few bucks.
    1
  14159. Awesome!
    1
  14160. Awesome man! I’m glad I could help. Few 2GR specific videos planned.
    1
  14161. The 2GR is a sweet engine!
    1
  14162. Thank you! That’s a nice first car! V6 or 4 cylinder?
    1
  14163. Nice! That’s a lot of truck for 250!
    1
  14164. Hi! I replied to your other comment. Clean it and reinspect. If it’s leaking replace the hose
    1
  14165. Hi! You’ll want the correct radiator there
    1
  14166. Hi! Lexus doesn’t sell the pulley for the tensioner separate from the tensioner. The one you found is aftermarket
    1
  14167. K0D are dying out here. Haven’t done one in a while. And no on the corollas I haven’t seen the water issues but heard of them
    1
  14168. Lucky! That’s one job your back will remember for a while
    1
  14169. It’s not a bad job I actually like them. Cam towers on a 5.7 or 2gr water pump?
    1
  14170. The bad aid will likely leak as well so leaving it as is and topping off the coolant is the same. The fuel line is simple squeeze the edges and it should pull out
    1
  14171. Hi! That is definitely a short term band aid. Removing the plenum and the intake is hardly a large job honestly. You can do that in the meantime but I would replace the hose and not risk issues with patch-type work.
    1
  14172. Hi! The pipe will need inspection. If you didn’t crush it when you remove the hose initially it should be fine. Silicone spray is fine been used on hundreds of cars and haven’t had an issue. You can reuse the coolant just make sure to keep things clean
    1
  14173. I saw the picture that hose is definitely leaking and likely the source of your coolant loss. The cowl does need to come off
    1
  14174. Hi! Clean the dried coolant and keep an eye on it. If it forms again then the hose is damaged and needs replacement. You’ll need to remove the plenum and the intake manifold underneath it. Not hard. Once the plenum is off a few more 12mm bolts and nuts and the intake comes off. You’ll need to drain the coolant and replace the intake manifold gasket
    1
  14175. Hi! Lifting the engine to the point I told you in the video doesn’t affect the axles. I did not record taking the tensioner off
    1
  14176. Honestly they’re just like any other battery. Interstate is the supplier
    1
  14177. Hi! I saw your other comment it might be the hose connected to the thermostat housing? And if the radiator has pink crust that reappears after cleaning then it’s leaking and I would get it replaced
    1
  14178. Hi! Honestly it’s hard to put a specific time on these. I’ve seen them fail as early as 20-30k miles and some are original past 200k
    1
  14179. Yes that is correct
    1
  14180. Hi! Best theory is the “ long” coolant change interval
    1
  14181. Not much you can do other than carefully heating it up
    1
  14182. They don’t go through a water jacket. When you install the front cover with fresh sealer some of it oozes into the openings for the bolts but once it dries that’s it there’s no more fluid touching the bolts
    1
  14183. You don’t need to as the cover sealer is already dry.
    1
  14184. Hi Gustavo. I don’t have access at the moment to that information
    1
  14185. Hi! Which model?
    1
  14186. Hi! In some models you can but really it’s not worth it. I always remove the engine as it makes it easier and you can do a much cleaner job
    1
  14187. Honestly production wise there’s no specific date as these haven’t failed yet to know which exact year they started using them. But as a part it showed up around 2 years ago
    1
  14188. They’re common to seize in rusty land.
    1
  14189. It has been lower from the beginning. Usually around 3-5 on all models. Usually ones with ps pump is 5 and the others except the RAV4 is around 3-4
    1
  14190. Hi! Labor depends on the model. As low as 3 hours as high as 6
    1
  14191. Hi! Custom wire them to a switch. Aftermarket is likely better than trying to do it oem
    1
  14192. Hi! Not with the original radio
    1
  14193. Hi! It should stay in neutral without issues. It will beep but it should stay as that’s a mechanical shifter and it’s forced to stay. And it wouldn’t cause damage to roll it in neutral
    1
  14194. It has been a very long time since toyoDA became Toyota. It was interesting that the part actually said ToyoDA for a 2001 Lexus
    1
  14195. There’s no set speed not to use it. The computer would not allow a mode that would damage things in hybrids
    1
  14196. Hi! Hard to tell with aftermarket parts.
    1
  14197. Hi! Thank you for watching! Are you in the Chicago area?
    1
  14198. Hi! In the US we have different suppliers of gasoline with different additives. So some are good and some are not
    1
  14199. flagmichael so in hybrids this is less of an issue but in gasoline models if the throttle body is dirty it won’t idle right or will straight die out at idle until the memory relearns which sometimes takes a few days of driving
    1
  14200. You’re welcome! Have a good day
    1
  14201. It could work. Just make sure you’re not adding it to the intake as it could pool up and cause issues
    1
  14202. Hi! Unfortunately that model is not sold in my area
    1
  14203. I wouldn’t keep the same gas for over 6 months by 12 months things are definitely bad.Ideally I’d keep it between 3-6 months. Maybe don’t fill the tank all the way keep it at 1/4-1/3 tank so running the fuel down is easier to put fresh. I’m not fond of gas stabilizers for cars but I have no bad experience to speak of with them but I’d just rather cycle the gas with fresh.
    1
  14204. If you’re buying an oem battery then it’s straight forward. I recommend you use memory saver on all Toyota models to preserve the engine computer memory. If the car is older with some miles and the throttle body hasn’t been cleaned regularly you could have a low idle for some time until the memory relearn. If you use a memory saver you shouldn’t have to worry about it.
    1
  14205. Ok the possible IAC. Try cleaning it
    1
  14206. Hi! Likely a leaking intake manifold gasket. Do you have code p0171 pending or history?
    1
  14207. Hi! They don’t. However bad driving habits and poor maintenance can produce it
    1
  14208. Hi! Thank you for watching my channel. So when you say diesel do you mean it’s sounding loud or just look dirty externally? On wax I recommend you look into ceramic coating as they are better in protection than wax
    1
  14209. Amedeo Bafadl always happy to help!
    1
  14210. Which parts are you referring to in bando brand?
    1
  14211. With Toyota hoses if they are original they last such a long time that I wouldn’t consider them a maintenance item.
    1
  14212. The transmission fluid doesn’t have an impact on fuel economy. Check your tire pressures and make sure none of the brakes are dragging or seizing up
    1
  14213. Thank you! I’m glad I could help!
    1
  14214. Hi! The Panasonic batteries are not sold through dealerships and only come with new cars
    1
  14215. Hi! If you’re referring to the belt tensioner then no I wouldn’t use thread lock
    1
  14216. Hi! Low profile tires will tend to be a bit loud. Dunlop’s are mid pack when it comes to noise. When you do replace them research and look at Michelin’s for quietness
    1
  14217. That’s a very good question and one that we can never get an answer to. Do use power steering fluid though for the additives
    1
  14218. Hi! Is there any issues with it?
    1
  14219. Not really. Interstate is a very good brand and they supply the replacement batteries for toyotas
    1
  14220. Most batteries for cars are flooded type and they all have the same design regardless of manufacturer.
    1
  14221. Should be regular diff fluod
    1
  14222. Hi! You’re on the right track. The diff will make a whine and it is the pinion setting. Either a rebuild or a replacement for the differential carrier will take care of it. However I must tell you not to be in a rush to fix this as it will take a long time to get worse if ever
    1
  14223. Thank you for watching my videos!
    1
  14224. You could but their prices are much higher
    1
  14225. flagmichael aren’t hybrid brakes awesome! They last forever! Here’s another tip that you might find useful. If you have visible rust on the rotors on any Toyota hybrid after it rains and you want to clear it. Drive the car to 35-40mph then put it in neutral and press the brakes. That cancels regenerative braking and now you’re using 100% hydraulic brakes. Good way to test them as well.
    1
  14226. If you mean if the insert will fit a sight line unfortunately no it won’t.
    1
  14227. Hi! It’s not common but how often do you drive the car?
    1
  14228. Hi! How many miles?
    1
  14229. Hi! Which model?
    1
  14230. Hi! Did the car come with alloy wheels from the factory? Or they were aftermarket add one?
    1
  14231. Head gaskets fail typically due to a leak internal or external or due to overheating.
    1
  14232. Head gaskets typically don’t break with speed.
    1
  14233. Hi Lot thank you for watching my videos! So on the filter just take the filter off slowly and let it drain for a couple of minutes then take it out. We never actually drain the middle part of the filter. I’ve never seen one leak from that o ring for the drain
    1
  14234. Hi! It’s ok. Each battery has its advantages and disadvantages. AGMs are expensive but good
    1
  14235. No real specific procedure. Gently open the throttle plate and clean it and the bore of the throttle body
    1
  14236. Same backorder. We recently switched to another supplier
    1
  14237. Hi! When you remove the engine cover follow the intake hose from the air filter and you’ll find the throttle body.
    1
  14238. Hi Christian. If you don’t mind me asking what year and model is your car and what’s your yearly mileage and driving? Highway or city?
    1
  14239. Hi Juan! Good question. I am not sure if they exist. It’s been so long that I have seen non ethanol gasoline that I haven’t even looked into it.
    1
  14240. Hi! I do. Send me an email with the subject Chicago service request and I’ll get back to you
    1
  14241. Tires make a huge difference on wear in addition to alignment. The run flats will always wear uneven no matter what you do to the car.
    1
  14242. Merry Christmas Caesar! So it’s possible for the slight feathering of the front tires to be caused by just the way you drive normally. A slight more toe in the front would help it a bit. I see this all the time and it seems to do with the brand of tire and Toyota specifically. The softer the tire the less likely it will do this. This is an observation from experience. More regular tire rotations could help alleviate this as well.
    1
  14243. Hi! Most Toyota timing belts are 90k miles or 9 years. Honestly they will easily go past 9 years. I would inspect it in this situation. If the belt looks perfect you can safely wait a bit more.
    1
  14244. Thank you for watching my video! Going one psi over is not an issue.
    1
  14245. I haven’t yet but going to soon I hope
    1
  14246. Coolant should be between full and low. When the car is hot it should be closer to full. Brakes you shouldn’t top off unless it’s below minimum
    1
  14247. Hi! See this video https://youtu.be/eRxSu4-4ojo
    1
  14248. Hi! I have a video with full details find it here https://youtu.be/3B-a8WJtd8w
    1
  14249. Hi! It’s ok
    1
  14250. Unlike Nissan Toyota you can move the plate and clean the throttle body without issues.
    1
  14251. Hi! They just won’t feel as good as originals. What’s going on with the current struts on your corolla?
    1
  14252. Yes you can
    1
  14253. Hi! I wouldn’t spray product directly into the intake. If you spray too much it could pool up and could hydro lock the engine. If you spray too little it will evaporate quick and not do any cleaning. Here’s my question to you, do you drive highway miles? Or mostly city and short trips?
    1
  14254. Hi. The dealership parts department can look it up and order it
    1
  14255. Hi! I own one of these but I do plan to make a specific video as a review
    1
  14256. Hi’ honestly there are many products that promise the world but eventually rubber will dry and crack
    1
  14257. Hi! Usually at toyota dealerships
    1
  14258. Not really. Some of the newer engines actually has an oil separator but no real benefit.
    1
  14259. Angelo Campana thank you! I would rotate them every 5000 miles along side the oil change. I would just rotate front to back back to front no real benefit from cross rotating. Hope this helps let me know if you have any other questions
    1
  14260. Not in your Prius. You’d want if possible to have matching tire side to side but not all 4.
    1
  14261. You’re welcome
    1
  14262. Hi! I would use a very small amount of brake cleaner to clean the maf or an electronics cleaner
    1
  14263. Hi! Do you mean the engine internally or the engine bay?
    1
  14264. Hi! Replace the engine coolant at 5 years. At 60k replace the transmission fluid.
    1
  14265. Thank you! Chicago area.
    1
  14266. Hi! Not really worth it honestly.
    1
  14267. Hi! There’s no coating that comes off on the throttle plate.
    1
  14268. Hi! I would clean it installed in the car. Removing it you’d need to replace the gasket. Spray the cleaner on a towel and wipe it down. That way you’re capturing the debris
    1
  14269. Hi! Yes. Find it here https://youtu.be/1OFV8gpxAxI
    1
  14270. @Theinan thank you! I’m glad it’s helpful!
    1
  14271. Hi! It will likely affect your gas mileage and speedometer accuracy
    1
  14272. Hi! That slight change should be ok.
    1
  14273. Hi! Depends on the model. Is this a sienna?
    1
  14274. Hi! An air induction service by BG is good but every 15k is excessive I think every 30-40k is sufficient and I would clean the throttle body at the same time as well.
    1
  14275. Thank you!
    1
  14276. Hi Anthony, These SUVs have cooling vents for the hv battery with built in filters they are located underneath the back seat there should be 3 of them. They are generally good SUVs and if the price is right it’s a good buy. Ask for maintenance records and make sure it’s currently not leaking oil or coolant. A good mechanic inspection is always recommended before purchasing to avoid buying a car with problems.
    1
  14277. No serviceable fuel filter on either model
    1
  14278. Which model?
    1
  14279. No not really.
    1
  14280. It is good. It’s top tier fuel
    1
  14281. Hi! That would help
    1
  14282. It would put load but not as much as taking off
    1
  14283. The clutch would be the first to go likely. Especially taking off with a load and uphill.
    1
  14284. The idea is high load on the engine and high rpm. So a heavy load would work but I wouldn’t over do it with a heavy load as that also burdens the transmission.
    1
  14285. Hi! I would use a memory saver if possible. The learned values could be erased but they can be relearned after some driving but to avoid that a memory saver is best.
    1
  14286. Hi! They have a prorated 84 month warranty this is first I hear about a lifetime warranty.
    1
  14287. Hi Doug thank you for watching my videos. MAF cleaning could be done but not something that should be needed unless there are issues.
    1
  14288. Your 19 corolla doesn’t have a timing belt. It has a timing chain which doesn’t have a maintenance interval.it does have a serpentine belt which drives the accessories. That belt is outside and easy to access and doesn’t have an interval to change. If it’s worn with cracks then replace it. If not then keep going.
    1
  14289. Thank you!
    1
  14290. It works but with risk of causing issues if not used properly.
    1
  14291. It’s a normal sound when you hold the key longer than needed. Try to let the key go as soon as the engine starts and it won’t do it.
    1
  14292. Hi! That’s normal. They all do that.
    1
  14293. Hi! Could your record a video of turn noise and share the link?
    1
  14294. Hi! It’s a setting that the dealership can adjust with the scan tool
    1
  14295. First replacement at 100k miles or 5 years. After that every 50k or 5 years
    1
  14296. Hi! Same as you would any other car. $155 is too much honestly. And I have a video for general things you need to know on cleaning a throttle body on Toyotas. Search car care nut throttle body
    1
  14297. Go with Michelin’s for a quiet smooth ride. More expensive though.
    1
  14298. The owner mentioned zebart
    1
  14299. Majority of the mechanical work I did. The interior work was mostly done by the owner.
    1
  14300. Yes it would have been but accidents happen
    1
  14301. Thank you!
    1
  14302. The housing got bent from impact
    1
  14303. The seats do have to be removed to clean the fan.
    1
  14304. Use G92DH-33040 it does work for 2014 is just didn’t come installed from the factory. I plan to make a video on this once I get an Avalon hybrid volunteer car to film with in Chicago
    1
  14305. Shine a light inside the vent. Do you see a mesh filter?
    1
  14306. Thank you! It should be on either side of the back seat a black plastic vent.
    1
  14307. While I can’t advice much on price because it varies from areas. But I would say if the car is in good shape and has no major accidents it’s worth it. Do negotiate the price of course but don’t waste time on negotiating a bad car down just walk away if it’s not in good shape. No point of getting a cheaper car that has issues.
    1
  14308. I think the camry hybrid is an excellent car! They usually last a long time with good maintenance and if you like it got for it! Hybrid do need oil changes and other maintenance just like a gasoline model. The filter is available at every toyota dealership either in stock or can be ordered. But it can be cleaned and reused without issues.
    1
  14309. Thank you for watching my video Neil! I’ll add it to the list! Thank you for your video suggestion!
    1
  14310. Hello!
    1
  14311. Toyota and Lexus yes
    1
  14312. Hi! You need the hybrid battery to start the engine so it’s not possible.
    1
  14313. Hi! No Toyota hybrid had hydraulic power steering but the current line up of Toyota in the US the 2021 tundra, sequoia, 4Runner and Tacoma still have hydraulic power steering
    1
  14314. I don’t really have any information on the insight. Let’s see if someone else can give some light to this.
    1
  14315. It is easy on those and that’s a good car to buy if you like it
    1
  14316. Hi! I would ask them which radiator of the 2 is leaking and have them show you. If you can’t see leaks and both cooling system levels are not dropping in level it could be a very small leak that’s just starting. Doubt they would flat lie like that but wouldn’t hurt to ask them to show you.
    1
  14317. Hi! A normal garage can service all the aspects of a hybrid car except involved repairs in the hybrid system
    1
  14318. Interesting. Reset the meter and drive it for a few days to see if it comes back
    1
  14319. Hi! I think the salesman doesn’t know or asked the wrong person. Look by the rear seat for a vent and the filter should be behind it if equipped
    1
  14320. Hi! The RX hybrid always did from day one. It’s more of a mesh filter and they have 3
    1
  14321. Hi! Likely not have one
    1
  14322. Depends on the model.
    1
  14323. Hi! Likely an AF sensor
    1
  14324. Hi! Toyota doesn’t really make full fledged EV cars that they make! The RAV4 EV is not exactly a Toyota. When they do I’ll have more information and experience and of course will share it
    1
  14325. Hi! Thank you for watching my video. Regarding mileage. Driving the car for 3-5 miles a day or even 15-20 miles a week is enough to keep things fresh. Storing the car for say 4-5 months out of the year is where the most negative effect to the battery comes into play. If you plan to keep the car only 5 years then really you shouldn’t worry at all. The negative effects on the battery that I speak about will start showing in the later life the car as it’s 10-15 years old. Typically folks who don’t drive their cars much tend to keep them long well past the 15 year mark so that’s the idea here. In your case regular short drives weekly and keeping it up to 5 years will really not start showing any negative effects.
    1
  14326. Thank you for watching my video. If the car is driven regularly even if not for long distances it’s ok. As long as it doesn’t sit for months without driving and repeatedly. Thank you for your feedback on the background music. Newer videos will have no background music to concentrate on the content.
    1
  14327. They have a fan but no filter
    1
  14328. Which model?
    1
  14329. Yes they are good but you want to check the fan filter regularly and keep up the maintenance
    1
  14330. Hi! The spark plugs are at 120k. The oil changes I would keep them at 5k miles. Mechanics should watch customers cars for cleanliness. Our job sometimes gets dirty but paying attention and covering things up when getting inside a customers car is a point of pride in craftsmanship and unfortunately not all mechanics practice this. Spark plug replacement is not difficult and other than removing the cowl to access them they’re not hard and very diy. You just need a torque wrench to torque the spark plugs down to specification
    1
  14331. Ok got it now I remember. I think you logged in a different account. Your original comment is not deleted its there. Honestly mark if this is an original 12v battery I would replace it. At 5 years old they test good but become unreliable.
    1
  14332. Thank you!
    1
  14333. Thank you! You can't go wrong with a RAV4 hybrid however just to let you know if you're buying a 2019+ RAV4 Hybrid there's an ongoing issue with the fuel tank that prevents owners from filling the tank all the way. It will eventually be fixed by Toyota but as of now there's no fix. That 4runner you got is bulletproof. Only thing that killed those was rust in the rustbelt.
    1
  14334. The fan vent is located under the back seat.
    1
  14335. I haven’t really seen or found good online courses yet. Usually through the manufacturer working at one of their dealerships.
    1
  14336. Hi! A course on repair or general information on how it works?
    1
  14337. Hi! The filter is built into the 3 vents underneath the back seat. It’s a mesh filter. Clean it and reuse it
    1
  14338. They are pretty reliable and solid with good maintenance
    1
  14339. Hi! The Yaris hybrid uses a similar system to the latest generation Prius. And it’s definitely worth it for 6-8k a year.
    1
  14340. I hear you on seat comfort. For some reason the Prius V has really comfortable seats I found. I also find the heavy bolstered seats very uncomfortable so I totally hear you on this one.
    1
  14341. Possibly yes
    1
  14342. Hi! They do ok as long as they’re not stored for weeks at a time in that weather
    1
  14343. Hi! There’s an original filter from Toyota for your gen 2 Prius part number G92DH-47020
    1
  14344. I am working on getting videos for each model as cars become available
    1
  14345. Depends on your hybrid model. I’m working on getting video how to on hybrid models
    1
  14346. I highly recommend cleaning the fan if there was no filter installed and then after the cleaning install a filter and keep an eye on it
    1
  14347. Hi! You are good and got nothing to worry about. The battery can take some beating before she calls it quits. Now if you plan on parking this car for 2 months every few months over the course of a few years then I would worry. You might have to jump start the small 12v battery now then let the car run for up to 5 minutes then turn on the ac for a bit even if it’s cold outside. Test drive it in the city first then take it on the highway and you should be good
    1
  14348. Interesting. Perhaps the slightly hilly area has something to do with it.
    1
  14349. Interesting on the Mileage. What’s the weather change from your previous location to the new one?
    1
  14350. It is possible to install a filter on your 2008 Prius. The part no is G92DH-47020. As a side note in 2008 there was a highlander and Camry hybrids as well.
    1
  14351. Sorry which model Toyota hybrid?
    1
  14352. Hi! Which model Toyota hybrid 2008?
    1
  14353. Hi! This depends on the model. Which model do you have so I can help better?
    1
  14354. Yes
    1
  14355. I think it’s a good car to buy if it’s well maintained
    1
  14356. Hi! It’s located underneath the back seat. There are 3 vents with a mesh filter behind it.
    1
  14357. Thank you for watching my video Mark. Happy holidays and stay safe and healthy
    1
  14358. Hi mark. The issue has officially been addressed and has a fix. This is new and recently came out. A redesigned fuel tank and fuel sender will fix the issue. All affected car owners should contact their dealerships to order parts and go from there.
    1
  14359. Thats low mileage. Do you know if it was driven often but short distances or stored for a long time?
    1
  14360. I don’t really have an opinion of the Chevy volt. I’ve never driven one. People who own them seem to like them but it is very different from Toyota hybrids and plug ins in every sense.
    1
  14361. Henry Sandels I don’t get it either. The floor may clip came after the gas pedal entrapment fiasco of 08/09
    1
  14362. Hi! Depends on the model. Some engines get pistons and rings that are updated with a TSB. Some models with oil consumption has no TSB and basically its as needed parts or service
    1
  14363. They do. However city driving will get you slightly better mileage but not a lot more
    1
  14364. Hi! I have a video here it is https://youtu.be/0GpbRdiI65A
    1
  14365. Congratulations!
    1
  14366. Hi! Every 60-90k miles or 6-9 years. Here’s a video with more information https://youtu.be/I1fP-RKsqG0
    1
  14367. Thank you! RAV4 hybrids are very good cars if you like them and take care of them.
    1
  14368. Hi! They are very reliable as long as they are maintained well
    1
  14369. Which model and year Toyota do you have or had? Curious on the transmission freezing.
    1
  14370. Hi! A Prius is a hybrid car and that’s part of its operation not the same as auto start/stop in a non hybrid
    1
  14371. Hi! This has been honestly all over the place as there no set year or trim for the rav4. Best is to verify the car you’re buying
    1
  14372. I wouldn’t worry about carbon build up on the newest one. As long as you use good quality gas that’s top tier and you don’t make repeated short trips you shouldn’t have carbon issues. I personally don’t like gas tank additives. They don’t do any harm but I question how good they actually work. I wouldn’t spend money on that.
    1
  14373. @K what Prius do you have?
    1
  14374. There has never been a car badged Toyota and made by Toyota that has direct injection only. Toyota’s D4S system uses both but not on the Prius. Also port injection cars can develop carbon build up and the Prius included and actually more prone to. I’m sure you heard of the infamous EGR problems.
    1
  14375. Depends how severe it is. If it’s light then yes a cleaner will work. If it’s severe it would have to be manually removed
    1
  14376. Either with an induction cleaning or manually clean them. Depends how bad they are carboned up
    1
  14377. Hi! Yes
    1
  14378. Hi! Honestly that’s a hard one to answer as they haven’t been out long enough to know
    1
  14379. Hi! I would just try to run the ac at all times
    1
  14380. Hi! Usually up to 1000 miles
    1
  14381. I’m not really sure if there are aftermarket add on. But the fan that the car comes with is more than capable as long as it’s working good and not clogged
    1
  14382. Already working on videos for each model! There’s no real time to replace or clean the filter. I would check it regularly and clean or replace as needed
    1
  14383. Hi! It usually is not. They should check it and advice.
    1
  14384. As far as I know they should be identical. But that’s Toyota’s policy on warranty.
    1
  14385. You make a very good point but that’s how things are with the new hybrid batteries
    1
  14386. The hybrid battery from Toyota is new and not remanufactured. As far as warranty it usually carries a new parts warranty of 1 year and 12,000 miles.
    1
  14387. Underneath the backseat.
    1
  14388. It depends on the model. Which model do you have?
    1
  14389. Hi! I haven’t seen any rodent damage in the battery area before
    1
  14390. The new sienna is good so far. A bit low on power but for what it’s designed for its adequate
    1
  14391. Hi! It will be hot in the interior but the cooling system is able to cope. And in a hot day the air conditioning would be on and that’s the air the cooling system uses to cool the battery
    1
  14392. Hi! You’ll need to ask them to check it
    1
  14393. Hi! Try removing the battery off the remote and see if it still does it
    1
  14394. I’d say this is a reason not to own one. Except if you plan to keep it for a 5-7 years then move on.
    1
  14395. Hi! Working through the dealership and being sent to training. Not sure if outside sources offer such training.
    1
  14396. Hi! Toyota will have plenty of non hybrid options for you in 2022. They went with hybrid in almost every model but still have a lot more non hybrid models than hybrid.
    1
  14397. I doesn’t cause harm. You are correct on the oil circulation however that only applies after the engine sits for a long time. On hybrids the engine is going on and off and usually doesn’t shut off for very long periods of time
    1
  14398. Hi! Depends on their use. If it looks like they didn’t have pets or heavy back seat use likely you’re good
    1
  14399. Break in is recommended for the first 500-1000 miles. Avoid high speeds hard acceleration and constant rpm. So in a case of driving a long distance as soon as you buy it is not recommended.
    1
  14400. The 12v battery is simple to test. The hybrid battery not so much. Some tools claim they test them but honestly there’s no direct way to accurately test the health of the battery
    1
  14401. Hi! Hybrids have been around for over 20 years. If you drive that much a hybrid might work well for you.
    1
  14402. Hi! Find it here https://youtu.be/WNo-VXJSg7s
    1
  14403. I’d say around 5-10 miles
    1
  14404. Will do! Thank you for watching my video and sharing your expertise!
    1
  14405. Thank you so much for your expertise! Honestly I haven’t even check the blower wheel. Added to the weekend home list! Thank you so much for the information! Stay healthy!
    1
  14406. I hear you my brother. Off the car topic what do you think of the American standard accuclean? Got that in my house and I notice it takes forever to turn red to clean and I usually end up cleaning it every 2 months or so.
    1
  14407. Hi! Likely not a fuse. This one would need a bit of diagnosis and possibly a fuel gauge calibration
    1
  14408. Hybrid battery fan filter.
    1
  14409. I'm working on recording how to clean the filter on various hybrid models as cars become available.
    1
  14410. That issue is covered by a recall and an extended warranty from Toyota. I did mention in another video on how hybrids work that the Intelligent power module does go out and it’s covered by Toyota.
    1
  14411. Hi! It doesn’t as long as you use AC while driving
    1
  14412. I’m not very familiar with that model as it’s not sold in the US
    1
  14413. What model is it?
    1
  14414. Hi! If you know the history of the car and if it was driven regularly but short distances or it was regularly stored. If it’s driven regularly but short distances it shouldn’t be an issue.
    1
  14415. Depends on your driving conditions. Hybrids are great all around. Evs are still limited with range and charging station but improving
    1
  14416. Other maintenance on hybrids are the regular oil and fluid changes that are similar to the non hybrid cars. One additional item is a separate cooling system for the hybrid system which uses the same type of engine coolant
    1
  14417. I hear you. Early Camry hybrids had an unusually higher price battery. Shop around and see what options are out there. Just be careful of companies that offer replacement with no backing or good reviews.
    1
  14418. I’m not sure about the auris but the 3rd gen prius didn’t have a filter in 2010 it has to be added. Look for the vent either on the back of the back seat or between the rear seat bottom and the floor. If you see a vent shine a light Through it to see if there’s a filter
    1
  14419. Hi! Thank you for watching! Underneath the back seat between the floor and the seat bottom
    1
  14420. Thank you for watching my videos! On the sides of the back seat you will see a black slotted vent that’s the vent and the filter should be behind it
    1
  14421. Hi! Dealership
    1
  14422. Try this part no. G92DH-76020
    1
  14423. Bill thank you for watching my video. Bill I will be honest with you on this one because I care about you. The 2010-2011 Prius are not the best years to buy on this generation Prius. 2012+ was vastly improved. Having said that what worries me about those two year Prius is random head gasket issues and continuous EGR issues which could get pretty expensive. They are also notorious for oil burning. All issues that you really can’t check or know about until you’ve owned this car for some time. Having said that I would ask about service records and maintenance history. If nothing is presented or if it has lapses in the records I would walk away and save your 8500 bucks for another car. Even with 76k which is low mileage I would be careful and do your due diligence on the cars history. If this one falls through then you already drove it and like it, I would look for a 2012-2015 which will drive the same but long term will be more reliable. Might cost more but I’d say a worthy investment if you like the model. Hope this helps.
    1
  14424. Hi! I’m really not familiar with that model as it’s a japan only model
    1
  14425. I don’t have experience with tuning but be careful
    1
  14426. On your Prius they are separate.
    1
  14427. I personally wouldn’t advise high voltage battery chargers for consumers. And on replacing individual cells it’s possible but the idea is if you replace one cell how far along are the rest?
    1
  14428. It’s located underneath the back seat towards the sides. Your car should have a paper filter which is reusable
    1
  14429. Usually they’re around the back seat depending on the model. What year and model Toyota hybrid do you have?
    1
  14430. Hi! Thank you for watching my videos! The ims are good cars. The cvt is holding up well so far. With good maintenance it will be a good car to have for a long time
    1
  14431. I hear you. How many miles does it have?
    1
  14432. Hi! Your Lexus doesn’t have a filter
    1
  14433. Up to a month is ok with minimal effects. Repeated storage Is when things start getting affected
    1
  14434. While the RAV4 prime is an amazing value with its long electric range if you are not going to be able to fully charge the car and use its full capabilities then I’d say why pay more. Get the hybrid which is also very efficient and other than the electric range is the exact same car.
    1
  14435. Hi! They hold well in hot climates but you’d want to use your AC and keep the cooling system for the battery in good shape
    1
  14436. Hi! I think they’re really nice cars and so far has been very reliable.
    1
  14437. Thank you for watching your video. I think the venza is a nice suv. My only issue with it is the price but I suppose that’s across the board prices are going up. I’d drive it and compare it to the RAV4 hybrid and see which one you like more.
    1
  14438. Most Toyota’s will last 300k depends on your goals with the car.
    1
  14439. That’s the 12 volt battery. The high voltage battery is different and the computer maintains the state of charge between a specific threshold. If there’s an issue with the voltages on the high voltage battery the hybrid system will be disabled, warning lights will come on and the engine will run at all times.
    1
  14440. That’s the case if your car is going to sit for long times. If you drive it often but all in the city it should be good
    1
  14441. Hi! Under the back seat on your model
    1
  14442. It’s actually a very robust transmission with no known problems.
    1
  14443. Toyota CVT transmissions are good so far. Hybrids don’t exactly have a CVT. They call it an eCVT but it’s not like a conventional CVT
    1
  14444. Thank you!
    1
  14445. So the cover doesn’t come off as it’s part of the side bolster. You’d need to remove the seat bottom then remove a 12mm bolt holding the side bolster and then it comes off
    1
  14446. Hi! On your Camry it’s located on the drivers side of the back seat. You’ll see a vent next to the door. If equipped with a filter you’ll see it behind the vent.
    1
  14447. The new Sienna is barely coming out. It shares the same hybrid system with the 2020 highlander so likely it will be as solid or even better.
    1
  14448. Hi! This is a video for the hybrid filter for your RAV4 https://youtu.be/L1l-JNGMTEs
    1
  14449. I think that would be a good upgrade. Price for trade in wise I can’t really give you estimates as it varies greatly. But I would get appraisal from carmax and carnava in addition to the dealership to get the most out of your car trade in
    1
  14450. So the battery will degrade slightly more than normal long trip driving however not at an alarming rate. The battery will degrade the most when the car is not driven at all for long periods like 3-4 months and repeating that. Driving 5 miles is considered a short trip and it does affect cars negatively but if you follow the correct maintenance schedule for severe operating conditions or special operating conditions you should have no issues.
    1
  14451. Hi! A hybrid for your driving conditions would be good. Transmissions on hybrids rarely fail. They usually fail from extreme abuse or other electrical issues caused by modifications
    1
  14452. I’m glad I could help! Your highlander does have a filter actually 3 but they’re built into the vents and no need to replace it just cleaning. The three vents are located underneath the back seat. Very easy to find and each vent will have 2 10 mm screws hidden behind a small flap on each of the vents. Vacuum it out and you should be good.
    1
  14453. Hi! I have a video for it
    1
  14454. They are pretty similar to the US corolla hybrid. I think it’s a pretty good car.
    1
  14455. Hi! Hybrids typically do better gas mileage wise in the city. Highway they do well if you keep your speeds below 85mpg
    1
  14456. Hi! If you drive regularly but short distances it’s worth it
    1
  14457. Was not aware of this. Thank you for sharing!
    1
  14458. Wow that’s the opposite! What state is that?
    1
  14459. The same applies to Lexus hybrids. They are good and usually share the same components as Toyota
    1
  14460. The hybrid variant will get you into the 50mpg range. A 2019 can get into the 30s. I wouldn’t do the trade just for that as the car that you have is a very good one as well.
    1
  14461. Hi which model?
    1
  14462. Hi! That mileage is not extremely low. It’s be a different store if this car at this age had 15k miles. I wouldn’t worry about it.
    1
  14463. I think that is good mileage and almost daily use. I would say a hybrid would be a good option.
    1
  14464. I'm sorry to hear that. That epidemic of catalytic converter theft comes and goes in Chicago. It's not uncommon to see a car in for service with chains around the catalytic converter.
    1
  14465. Hi! They do use low rolling resistance tires. They’re not great for snow and rain but good for mileage. You can install regular tires without a problem. The mileage will go down very slightly
    1
  14466. I think it’s an excellent car and plug in hybrid. With good maintenance it should last a long time
    1
  14467. Hi! Your car doesn’t have a filter from the factory but you can install one.
    1
  14468. Hi! Unfortunately the alphards is not available in my country so I don’t have direct information on it.
    1
  14469. Depending your model you can do that but you’d want a sealed battery with a vent since it sits inside the car
    1
  14470. Hi! The hybrid variant is very good. If you want more power stay with the V6 if you want better gas mileage go with the hybrid. A Toyota dealership should be able to work on it
    1
  14471. Congratulations on your purchase. Take care of that car and it’ll take care of you. I don’t really have experience with car max to tell.
    1
  14472. I don’t really have experience with Toyota hydrogen fuel car. I studied it but not officially trained for it.
    1
  14473. If it has good service history and has been cared for then yes
    1
  14474. Hi! What model?
    1
  14475. Thank you for watching my video. I do not have experience with honda hybrids as I work with Toyota.
    1
  14476. Thank you for watching! The head gasket issues were limited to some hybrids from 2010-2014 with the 2ZR engine. So other models with different engines didn’t have that issue.
    1
  14477. I would! On your rav4 it’ll be on the sides of the bottom of the back seat.
    1
  14478. Hi! The 450h has a mesh filter for the hybrid battery underneath the back seat 3 vents with mesh filters on them
    1
  14479. Hi! It’s normal. Everytime the engine shuts off that light will come on to let you know you’re running in EV mode
    1
  14480. Did it loose power? Like does it crank or doesn’t crank at all?
    1
  14481. Yes 5 miles daily should be good. As long as the car doesn’t sit for months regularly.
    1
  14482. Hi! My name is AMD. The 2019 Avalon is a very good car to buy. At this age and mileage a general inspection is good. Even if it didn’t have good maintenance history it’s too new to have issues. Just keep up the maintenance and you’ll have it for a long time. Inspect it for accidents to make sure if there were any that they are fixed right.
    1
  14483. I would replace them on your 2008 as it’s easy and the 2011 is kinda of a pain and I would replace it at around 100-120k with the plugs
    1
  14484. Tiago Alves they are both good. With the lithium ion having a slight advantage. Go with what you like. The nickel battery is still very good if maintained well.
    1
  14485. I have a video for that. Find it here https://youtu.be/U7mjpvRihVU
    1
  14486. Gas mileage has a lot to do with many factors. Some of them are tires spark plugs weather and driving habits. Think what changed at the time that the gas mileage dropped
    1
  14487. The fan vent on your Prius is located on the back of the best seat towards the passenger side. As soon as you open the passenger rear door and look at the seat you’ll see a vent
    1
  14488. Hi! What’s your budget and what do you need the car for?
    1
  14489. Hi! So if your driving is regular just for short distances then you’re good for a hybrid. But if you drive your car say 5-6 months then park it for 5-6 months then it’s not a good idea
    1
  14490. On your highlander hybrid and the 450h the vents are underneath the back seat. There’s actually 3 vents with a mesh that You can easily vacuum out. Reason it’s not in the maintenance schedule is this was the time these issues were starting and it was something that was missed.
    1
  14491. My pleasure 😊
    1
  14492. Similar items apply to the plug in hybrids you don’t want that battery to sit for long times.
    1
  14493. I would get it and see how it does. If you see the battery going low then consider the trickle charger
    1
  14494. Hi! Here’s a video with specific information to your model https://youtu.be/L1l-JNGMTEs
    1
  14495. I really have no experience with Ford hybrids.
    1
  14496. They should cover the cost if you have full coverage
    1
  14497. Thanks for sharing
    1
  14498. Hi! Yes they do. Here’s a video specific to the RX hybrid https://youtu.be/WNo-VXJSg7s
    1
  14499. That’s good! Keep that clean and you should have no issues!
    1
  14500. It’s located on the side of the back seat. On the drivers side. You can actually check it yourself. Find the vent and shine a light inside. If the filter is dirty it needs cleaning if it’s clean then you’re good to go. If you have pets in the back seat it always gets clogged or if people regularly sit in the back seat.
    1
  14501. Hi! I’m not really experienced with honda hybrids. I exclusively work on Toyota products.
    1
  14502. Hi! Toyota hybrids have to use this transmission setup because the electric motors are inside the transmission .
    1
  14503. Hi! Yes hybrids are great for ride sharing for as long as you are aware of the battery filter location and keep an eye on it. With heavy traffic on the back seat they tend to get dirty quick.
    1
  14504. Hi! They are equally good if they have been taken care of.
    1
  14505. Hi! You can just pay special attention to the battery cooling system and make sure the filter is clean and clear and you should have no issues
    1
  14506. The previous generations highlander and RX hybrid did have a V6 hybrid
    1
  14507. Hi! I think a corolla hybrid would work great in your long commute. I would test drive one and see if you like it. That’s a long time you spend in a car I would make sure you like it before buying it. A Camry hybrid is another option that’s a bit bigger and more comfortable
    1
  14508. Thank you for your feedback. Background music is gone in newer videos
    1
  14509. We don’t have that specific model but it uses a similar hybrid system from a Prius C which is a good hybrid system.
    1
  14510. Those temperature ranges are not an issue. Long term repeated storage of hybrids could cause issues as they get older
    1
  14511. Likely no but I would check the vent if not install one
    1
  14512. On your Prius depending with generation some of them came with a filter some of them you can add one
    1
  14513. They’re essentially the same car with different body and interior. Go with whichever one you like more and is in good shape. As soon as you get it install a filter and keep it clean and you should have no issues.
    1
  14514. Which component is leaking?
    1
  14515. If you store it for a month every 2-3 months that’s too much. If you store 6 months out of the year that’s also too much
    1
  14516. Hi! 2 days minimum use is ok. If you plan to store it for over a month at a time repeatedly then I’d say it’s not a good choice. But in your case I would be a good choice
    1
  14517. Hi! Depends on the model. Which model do you have?
    1
  14518. That’s a very nice car! Thank you for watching my video!
    1
  14519. Hi! At this time I am not answering emails due to high demand. Please leave your questions as comments on the videos or join the weekly livestream on Saturday’s 7pm central time
    1
  14520. Thank you for this awesome statement! Sure spending $2600 was a lot but it was worth every penny given the savings of absolute reliability! I hope to hear your car hitting 300K on that same battery!
    1
  14521. The oil burning issues were heavy on the 2010-2011 models but seem better with the later models. To prevent issues in the future I advise you to stick with 5k mile or 6 month oil changes.
    1
  14522. No perhaps I didn’t explain sorry. Allow me to clarify.There’s 2 small flaps on each of the vents. You’ll use a screw driver to open them exposing 2 10mm screws. Remove the screw then the vent comes out. Alternatively you could run a good vacuum to clean the 3 vents out.
    1
  14523. Which year highlander?
    1
  14524. It will run but with very limited power
    1
  14525. I think that’s good mileage driven per year. If the car is maintained and in good condition it should be good.
    1
  14526. I’d say 4-5k miles a year is ok. I’ll give you an example of a disaster hybrid with low mileage to buy. I have a 2004 Prius waiting for a new hybrid battery that has 19k miles. That’s very low and likely this car sat a lot longer than it was driven.
    1
  14527. I’m sorry to hear that Diana. Did you track the source of the bad gas?
    1
  14528. It’s possible that bad gas would cause issues. Do you remember if you recently filled up with gas before the issues started? Also did they specify if it was E85?
    1
  14529. Hi! The early system did that. They did that. If the camera saw a tiny reflection it assumed it’s a car and shut off the high beams.
    1
  14530. Hi! Could take a picture of that?
    1
  14531. Hi! The filter will depend on the model. I do have a few videos for different models. If you let me know the model you have I will see if I have a video for it
    1
  14532. Depends on your model and year. Usually around the back seat area
    1
  14533. Hi! I work exclusively on Toyota and can’t give accurate advise on Ford hybrids. Sorry
    1
  14534. Hi! The prime is a plug in hybrid. You can plug it to the wall and get up to 42 miles on electric only. Then it turns into a regular hybrid. The safety sense the higher version has more features
    1
  14535. So the vents has a built in mesh filter that can be cleaned infinite times. You don’t need to replace anything. Here’s how to get them off to clean them. Look closely at the face of the vent. You’ll notice two cutouts for two small flaps that open. Use a screw driver to pop the flaps one in each side of each vent. Behind that there will be 2 10mm bolts. Remove them and the whole vent can be pulled out and you’ll see the mesh filter on the back side of the piece you pull out. Clean it very well. Don’t use water just vacuum and reinstall. Do the same for all 3 vents
    1
  14536. Actually you’re highlander was one with built in mesh filter. 3 vents under the back seat with a built in mesh filter on each vent
    1
  14537. Thanks! On shops in Chicago depends what you’re looking to do. Email me for information.
    1
  14538. Hi! It’s still a good option but you’d want to use the air conditioning at all times
    1
  14539. Hi! Change the transmission fluid every 60-90k miles and avoid modifying the car to get more power
    1
  14540. Depends on your hybrid model usually around the back seat area
    1
  14541. The heat will not kill the battery. It will however put a strain on it. What you can do to help it function properly without issues is to keep the filter clean and make sure you always use the A\C in hot days so the air that's cooling the battery is colder than ambient temperature from the cabin.
    1
  14542. I think that’s a very good car if it’s in good condition and has good maintenance
    1
  14543. It’s already coming out depending on your area. In Chicago were expecting it to hit in October in limited numbers though
    1
  14544. It varies by model. Most of them around the back seat either to the side or underneath
    1
  14545. Hi! It shouldn’t be an issue however try avoid leaving the car in that weather undriven for weeks and months at a time
    1
  14546. Absoloutly my brother. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to email at any time. Take your time and do your research and May the lord bless the new car.
    1
  14547. Is there a filter installed? There was no filter from the factory unless someone added one later I advice you to add one and keep it clean especially if you use the back seat
    1
  14548. Hi! On your 08 Prius it will be on the passenger side of the back seat. Not underneath it but rather on the back of the back seat. As soon as you open the passenger rear door look directly at the seat and you’ll see it
    1
  14549. Hi! Hard to predict which route they’ll go in the future honestly. At least for this generation and likely for the refresh it will remain the same
    1
  14550. Hi! If the oil is changed on time I wouldn’t. I doesn’t hurt to install one but it won’t benefit much either.
    1
  14551. Filters will depend on the model. Which model do you have?
    1
  14552. It’s already gone in the newer videos! Thank you for your feedback.
    1
  14553. Hi! You’ll get warning lights and the engine will run all the time and the car will have limited performance
    1
  14554. We don’t have that mode either. The first mini van hybrid in the US is the 2021 sienna hybrid
    1
  14555. Which model hybrid do you have?
    1
  14556. Hi! The brake issues are on going. Contact your dealership as there might be warranty extensions that would get you covered
    1
  14557. Very true! Thank you for bringing this up. Typical hybrids will have a tiny little 12V battery that doesn't take much to kill.
    1
  14558. Hi! It is not recommended to open the pan to replace the filter. If the fluid is changed every 60k miles or 6 years you shouldn’t need to replace the filter. Opening the pan could introduce contaminants which would harm the transmission more than the filter replacement benefit is.
    1
  14559. Unfortunately I do not have any experience with them other than they are for the most part different than Toyota hybrids.
    1
  14560. Hi! Toyota hybrids use electric steering so no fluid
    1
  14561. Hi! It could be something with the hydraulic brakes. I would have them checked.
    1
  14562. Hi! Could you record a video and upload it so I can hear the noise it makes?
    1
  14563. Hi! Having the car sit doesn’t affect the fuel pump directly. Gas goes stale after a long time of storage. But I would look into that extended warranty what it comes and what it doesn’t and decide if it’s something for you
    1
  14564. Hi! It depends on the model. Which model and year hybrid do you have?
    1
  14565. I am working on getting videos done for each model as cars become available for me to film.
    1
  14566. I am assuming you bought it for a low price. I would keep it, likely in the near future it will need a battery and yes it will Be expensive but that’s your car if you want to keep it or sell it.
    1
  14567. I was referring to 1st generation Prius which is 2000-2003. 2ns generation Prius is 2004-2009. 3rd generation Prius is 2010-2015 4th generation is 2016-current. For highlander hybrid 1st generation it’s 2006-2007.
    1
  14568. Not very familiar with Tesla’s but they usually recommend you don’t charge the battery past 80% for longevity unless needed
    1
  14569. Thank you for watching my video and subscribing!
    1
  14570. Hi! Inspect the filter or ask for service records
    1
  14571. It’s a nice car. Just make sure to keep up the maintenance and you should have no issues
    1
  14572. That’s gonna be on the passenger side back seat. As soon as you open the door you’ll see the vent
    1
  14573. Which hybrid do you own?
    1
  14574. Actually you’d want to use a vacuum to pull the dirt out of the mesh. Don’t blow air into it as you’ll send all that dirt into the fan
    1
  14575. The vent is located on either side of the bottom of the back seat. Look for a slotted plastic vent and the filter is behind it. I am working hard to obtain the cars to do how to videos for each hybrid model.
    1
  14576. Hi! The battery will be ok as long as you maintain the cooling fan and make sure your AC works and is used in hot days.
    1
  14577. I’m working on filming with various models and that model rav4 is coming up soon
    1
  14578. Hi! As needed. See this video which is specific to your model https://youtu.be/gjGLG6jg-Mk
    1
  14579. The RX always used filters on their vents find more information in this video https://youtu.be/WNo-VXJSg7s
    1
  14580. Hi! The setup in the tundra might be different than your conventional hybrid. In the case of towing you’ll need to use it
    1
  14581. Hi brother! They are but some extra care needs to be taken to take care of the cooling system of the hybrid battery
    1
  14582. Hi! If they parked longer than a month, it will negatively affect the life of the battery. But one time storage isn’t going to do immediate harm. If it’s repeated then it’s an issue. They do ok in hot climate but you need to use the aC when driving
    1
  14583. Hi! If economy is above all even comfort then look for a Prius C or a corolla. A step up would be a Camry
    1
  14584. Thanks!
    1
  14585. Thank you for your feedback. Music is gone in newer videos.
    1
  14586. The motor generators are part of the hybrid transmission. Price will vary between models but it will be a lot more than a hybrid battery. The good news is they are very reliable unless abused. In my over decade of experience I've replaced around 5 hybrid transmissions one of them was an accident. So I wouldn't worry about failures with normal use and good maintenance.
    1
  14587. Hi! Which model?
    1
  14588. If should be behind the vent. You can vacuum through the vent to clean it
    1
  14589. Hi! I don’t really have information on these systems outside the us
    1
  14590. Which model and year Toyota hybrid?
    1
  14591. It slipped my mind at the moment of recording. The corolla hybrid is one of my favorite hybrids. It’s so new that I’m not used to mentioning it
    1
  14592. I don’t know what’s going to happen in the future but I can tell you from 2010 to now things have changed quite a bit to the better.
    1
  14593. Hi! The nickel metal battery is tried and tested as it’s been there since the first hybrid model and has no issue lasting a very long time
    1
  14594. Post your questions as comments
    1
  14595. Hi! I would let them know
    1
  14596. Hi! I covered most of these questions in my sienna review. Find it here https://youtu.be/ODZSbuzVlUo
    1
  14597. High voltage battery cooling fan filter
    1
  14598. Hi! The battery in your sienna is underneath the front seats. The seats are not difficult to remove but the air bag system will be disabled as they have air bags in the seats
    1
  14599. Hi! Yes I will make a series of videos on the sienna soon. I am in the 4Runner filming this week. Hopefully in the next couple of weeks
    1
  14600. Hi! You could ask them to check it
    1
  14601. Hi! That shouldn’t be a reason for alarm. The condition of the car and the service history is more important
    1
  14602. Hi Boris. The transmission maintenance and pump operation is explained a bit in my series on how hybrids work. Find the video here https://youtu.be/u15wHYuEFmU
    1
  14603. I don’t really have experience with honda hybrids as I work exclusively on Toyota products
    1
  14604. Should be similar to this one https://youtu.be/U7mjpvRihVU
    1
  14605. Hi! Which model and year?
    1
  14606. Hi! On your highlander hybrid there are 3 vents underneath the back seat with a built on mesh filter. That’s what you want to clean with a vacuum
    1
  14607. Hi! Follow your owners manual recommendation. If it says 0w16 only then use it if it gives you options look for your temperature and use the appropriate oil
    1
  14608. Hi! Don’t be alarmed yet. Do you know anything about the previous owner? Also looking at any history can you establish if this car was stored for a long time?
    1
  14609. Find the video here https://youtu.be/zSqnyZZRTzk
    1
  14610. Yes a filter can be purchased for your 2006 Prius however it didn't come with one from the factory
    1
  14611. You can use eco mode at all times if it doesn’t bother you.
    1
  14612. Yes if it’s taken care of. If it sat for long periods of time that could be an issue
    1
  14613. Hi! That speed should be ok
    1
  14614. Hi! The CHR is a good hybrid car overall.
    1
  14615. I would if you like the car. They’re very reliable so far
    1
  14616. In this case it might not make sense to buy a hybrid honestly
    1
  14617. Hi! It’s not a lot as long as it doesn’t run with the car off
    1
  14618. That’s a solid car. depending which year you bought you may have a timing belt to address maintenance wise otherwise keep your hybrids vents mesh clean and normal engine maintenance and you should have no issues
    1
  14619. While parked it shouldn’t be an issue. Whenever possible park it in the shade and is allowed by law window tinting helps a lot
    1
  14620. Hi! Heat shouldn’t be an issue just always use the air conditioning when driving and keep an eye on the fan filter
    1
  14621. Hi! You can use 220 but you’ll need a charger to do that.
    1
  14622. Hi! What code do you have?
    1
  14623. Thank you for watching! I am! God bless!
    1
  14624. I wouldn’t honestly. Try Toyota dealerships most of them work on Lexus because they’re the same and labor rate is cheaper.
    1
  14625. I’m sorry to hear that! This is not good especially for a dealership because your cars are often on the lot. I hope this stops and you won’t have to deal with it
    1
  14626. No need to be sorry about anything. I appreciate your feedback which is valuable to help me make better content for you and other viewers. So when I mentioned regularly in most of my videos I meant not exceeding a year. On the case of the fan filters I recommend checking them every 3 months since it’s such a simple 5 second check it wouldn’t hurt to check them that often.
    1
  14627. In what specific context do you want me to clarify?
    1
  14628. I wouldn’t worry about the battery as there’s no accurate way to predict its life in percentage. Regarding the coolant I would try bleeding it and see and check for leaks
    1
  14629. Hi! On hybrids the steering is the same as non hybrid models with an electric steering. There’s a motor mounted on the column to assist. Are there any warning lights?
    1
  14630. This is the first time I hear about the Mazda axela thank you for bringing it up I will look into it
    1
  14631. That’s a nice car! We already started seeing them in Chicago and it’s another awesome hybrid! You’re gonna love it!
    1
  14632. I think the corolla hybrid is very similar to the Prius minus the purpose built shape. They are very reliable as well. The more you use hybrids the better it is for the battery but long term. You won’t cause immediate harm
    1
  14633. Hi! That Lexus is a bit different than other hybrids. It takes a different procedure to replace the fluid and it can be replaced at anytime as it also doesn’t have clutches to worry about
    1
  14634. Hi! It was not equipped.
    1
  14635. Hi! The ct200 models are excellent as well. Prices will vary by area
    1
  14636. Hi! Clean the fan
    1
  14637. Hi! There doesn’t seem to be indications at this time that there’s health issues from the batteries being in the car
    1
  14638. Hi! As needed. It will vary depending on your use
    1
  14639. Sorry let’s start from the beginning I can’t find the original comment. What was the original question?
    1
  14640. Hi mark. I don’t delete any comments even if it’s negative. YouTube has done this before where they delete comments because of spam.
    1
  14641. The dealership is the best place to buy the hybrid filters. On your sienna there’s 2 on either side of the front seat. You won’t void your warranty if you clean them and if anything you would help it. They can deny warranty if the filter is clogged due to lack of maintenance so cleaning it when it gets dirty is a very good idea.
    1
  14642. Hi! Not yet but hopefully in the future
    1
  14643. Hi! You can use it normally if your filter is clean and you use your ac
    1
  14644. Hi! I’m working on getting a Camry hybrid to film with. The only one I have so far is 2007-2011 which year Camry hybrid are you looking for?
    1
  14645. Hey Raymond! They are as long as you are not going excessive speeds. A constant cruise at normal motorway speeds is good.
    1
  14646. Do you have codes or what are the symptoms?
    1
  14647. If you’re just replacing the fluid you’re good. But if you’re bleeding after parts replacement you need a scan tool to activate the pump
    1
  14648. Nothing specific on hybrids when servicing brakes. However when opening the hydraulic circuit a scan tool is needed to bleed new parts
    1
  14649. If by ECB you mean electronically controlled brakes then they all do.
    1
  14650. The key to maintaining your battery here is to not cover the vent and take care of the cooling system. If the cause of failure was determined not to be the cooling of the battery then you have done a good job of keeping the vent open and your use of the car doesn’t create dust or debris that could clog the fan. Like pets or heavy rear seat use. Water intrusion into a battery is by default a problem. A lot of electrical components inside that can easily corrode and cause issues. The seal on the hatch is common on your Prius and as long as it’s checked and fixed you’re good there. Regarding the display it’s also a known problem. A small circuit board needs replacement in the gauge. The dealership should be well aware of the issue and fix it. Usually it happens more often in cold weather so expect to see it as we go into winter. Once the gauges go blank drive into a dealership even without an appointment so they can take a look and give you a quote to replace the circuit board.
    1
  14651. Toyota doesn’t sell individual cells because think of it this way. All the cells are the same age. If 2 failed the rest are not far behind. If they sell individual cells you’ll be back multiple times paying high labor to replace each cell over time. While getting a new battery has all new cells which you can expect it to last another 10 years just like the original did
    1
  14652. Yeah the mesh is more than enough to keep things clean. If there was no filter then I’d clean the fan once and keep that mesh clean and you shouldn’t have issues. It’s in the plans to do more hybrid maintenance DIY videos as car availability allows.
    1
  14653. On your Camry hybrid it’s located on the package tray. By the 3rd brake light. It didn’t come with one from the factory however you can buy one for it part no. G92DH-33010
    1
  14654. Thank you for your video suggestion. Honestly I would need real world experience on Tesla’s to be able to make a similar video and that experience I don’t have as I work with Toyota not Tesla
    1
  14655. The CT is a very good and nice car. A 13 is fine even though they don’t have a filter. I would however consider getting the fan cleaned or inspected
    1
  14656. The ct adapted it later if memory serves right around 2015
    1
  14657. Hi! As soon as you open the drivers front and passenger front doors look down you’ll see a vent with a filter behind it
    1
  14658. Hi! The fan filter?
    1
  14659. Hi David! What year is your car?
    1
  14660. Hi! Which model Toyota hybrid do you have?
    1
  14661. Hi! Either working your way through the dealership or going to a training program like T-TEN
    1
  14662. Hi! No the cabin filter filters the air that comes through the hvac vents. The high voltage battery is separate. I do have a video on how to service yours find it here https://youtu.be/gjGLG6jg-Mk
    1
  14663. I have no experience with honda hybrids sorry
    1
  14664. Hi! I still work as a mechanic in the Chicago area
    1
  14665. Background music is gone in newer videos. Thank you for your feedback
    1
  14666. Hi! Ask for maintenance records. There’s no real accurate way to know the current health of the battery
    1
  14667. Which model Toyota hybrid to you have? I have many videos for different models.
    1
  14668. Hi! The 2018 Camry hybrid is a great car to buy in my opinion. The transmission issues were on the non hybrid model. The hybrid model’s transmission is very good
    1
  14669. On hybrids with a p button nothing would Happen as it wouldn’t allow shift into unless you’re at a lower speed.
    1
  14670. I’m not familiar with Nissan leafs battery.
    1
  14671. Hi! Those are good models to buy with good maintenance. Keep up the maintenance and you’ll have it for a long time
    1
  14672. Hi! Both will work the same for the purpose you want them for. Sienna will likely have more room if you need it
    1
  14673. You’re good with a hybrid. Take care of the maintenance and it will take care of you
    1
  14674. Hi! If you maintain the cooling system of the battery and run the air conditioning it should be ok.
    1
  14675. Hi! The filter can be cleaned or replaced. It will depend on your use for the car. Could be every 3 months or sometimes every 1-2 years
    1
  14676. Hi! Honestly in your case I would consider the regular hybrid as it would make more sense since you have a long commute and the 25 mile range won’t fit your one way commute. Both the standard Prius and the prime will have no issues reaching 200k miles and lasting 10-15 years without anything major. Just take care of the car and keep up the maintenance and these expectations are within reach without an issue.
    1
  14677. Hi! Planning to buy a hybrid? What are your concerns?
    1
  14678. I don’t really have experience with Nissan hybrids
    1
  14679. Hi! Corolla hybrids are very good cars. A bit on the small side but they get impressive gas mileage
    1
  14680. This has been an ongoing conversation whenever it comes up. It should be added as a maintenance item and Owners need to be made aware of it when they buy the car. Countless cars I work on has the vent completely covered either by a seat cover or even a baby seat!!
    1
  14681. Hi! Not yet. Looking for a volunteer car in the Chicago area to make a video on it
    1
  14682. Hi! Take it in for service and ask for a thorough inspection and mention that you are going on a very long trip. If they charge for the inspection it’s ok and even better because then they’ll check everything well. Main things are tires brakes suspension. Then any large leaks or issues that need addressing
    1
  14683. Hi Rafael, so on every new engine you’d want to take it easy at least the first 500 miles so the engine would break in. That helps extend the life of the engine especially when keeping the car long.
    1
  14684. Hi! First congratulations on your purchase. You did not destroy the car don’t worry. You can use EV mode as needed. Taking it easy is more when the engine is running. Not accelerating hard and fast the first few hundred miles. On hybrids it’s much easier to break the engine in than gasoline models.
    1
  14685. As needed. Every few months
    1
  14686. A healthy battery ideally will be at around 12.6-12.7 static. Immediately after the battery is charged it will have static voltage and could give a false reading. A good way to know is to turn on the headlights for a few moments then turn them off then check the voltage.
    1
  14687. Hi! Yes. Repeated long term storage would negatively affect the battery as the years add up
    1
  14688. Hi! Idling the car for an hour here and there is not an issue.
    1
  14689. Hi! Every 60k or 6 years
    1
  14690. Hi! As needed. Sometimes every month sometimes once a year. Depends how you use your car.
    1
  14691. Honestly I think you had that car for a long time. If it runs good and is safe you can keep it longer but the next thing that happens perhaps move on to something newer
    1
  14692. It will really vary based on the condition of the battery. But I would start worrying after a month of outdoor storage at that temperature.
    1
  14693. Hi! Email me for more details
    1
  14694. I think it’s a great hybrid option.
    1
  14695. No direct injection for the Prius C just port
    1
  14696. I would check it after 6 months and judge how it's progressing. The amount of time it will take for the filter to get dirty really depends on your use. For example if you have pets in the back seat that might make the filter collect more hair and get clogged quicker than someone who rarely uses the back seat. I would take a peek at it every 6 months and see. It literally takes 5 seconds to check it.
    1
  14697. I’m sorry to hear about Your prius experience. Unfortunately with the 2nd gen it was hit and miss with some people driving them long without issues and some folks take care of them but the car doesn’t take care of the owner. I hope you are happy with the car you have now and it’s making up for the bad experience.
    1
  14698. Regarding the inverter cooling system. Starting with the 2nd gen prius any failure or overheating of the inverter will set codes and limit the functions of the hybrid system to avoid damage. Things on this subject have gotten significantly better with 3rd gen prius and up. I’ll add to the list of videos a definition of hybrid generations and the improvements between them. Main complement that gets cooled in the inverter is the intelligent power module which is known for failure on some 3rd gen prius due to overheating but not because of the cooling system. While Toyota doesn’t share much information on this one we believe a software issue led to this failure.
    1
  14699. Send me an email tarek so I won’t forget and I’ll look up the part no. Tonight
    1
  14700. Hi! Because the location of the filter varies greatly by model. Which model hybrid do you have?
    1
  14701. Find all details on how to service the filter in this video https://youtu.be/L1l-JNGMTEs
    1
  14702. Hi! Which model?
    1
  14703. Thank you John!
    1
  14704. Hi! Depends how severe the damage is. If it reached the battery and damaged it I wouldn’t
    1
  14705. Hi! For Toyota hybrid transmissions the fluid is every 60-90k miles
    1
  14706. Hi! There’s no exact interval. It depends on your use. I’d start by cleaning it monthly if it’s clean then increase the interval to 3 months and so on
    1
  14707. Hi! It will depend on your use. I would get familiar with it and check it very month or so.
    1
  14708. Congratulations!
    1
  14709. As soon as you open the drivers front and passenger front door look down between the floor and the seat and you’ll see a vent with a filter behind it on both sides
    1
  14710. Lekona, which hybrid model do you have?
    1
  14711. Hi Lekona. Just to clarify, the high voltage fan filter is what you need further information on?
    1
  14712. I think 3000-5000 miles is a good idea. Less than that might be overkill. A bit more than that is also ok but I simply don’t like what I’m seeing in cars that go 10k 1 year oil changes.
    1
  14713. You’re welcome! Always my pleasure to help! Best of luck with your purchase!
    1
  14714. Thank you for watching my video. Regarding driving excessive is identified at 90 MPH or higher and also "spirited" driving is basically pedal to the metal consistently. Cruising at 80mph is ok and normal driving with a bit of emphasis on faster driving style is not an issue. Efficiency and gas mileage might be affected but not the health of the battery. Regarding letting the car sit, Your research is correct. Letting the car sit for a week here and there is not an issue. Letting it systematically sit for 1-3 months over time will be an issue. The common scenario on this one is folks who spend winter in another state and leave their car sit for the whole winter and come back to it. The effects will not be immediately after you come back but do that multiple times or systematically and the hybrid battery will deteriorate quicker than average. Hope this helps, Any questions you have leave a comment or email. I try my best to answer any questions in a timely fashion. Sometimes it takes me time but I always get back to you.
    1
  14715. Hi! That would be the preferred method. Perhaps the battery will need a top off charge when you’re back but it shouldn’t be dead like when you leave it connected
    1
  14716. Hi! If it’s taken care of and in good shape it’s a good car to biy
    1
  14717. Depends on the model.
    1
  14718. Hi! Which model?
    1
  14719. Hi! You can still buy a battery for a 2000 Prius so there’s hope for continued support
    1
  14720. Hi! It’s a good car. Tends to burn oil on the engine side but otherwise it’s good
    1
  14721. Here’s a video for your Prius https://youtu.be/skSoXGcNpS4
    1
  14722. Hi! This one you’ll want to see your dealerships parts department
    1
  14723. Hi! This usage is more than enough to keep things fresh for the battery
    1
  14724. I don’t see why driving in either drive mode has anything to do with battery longevity
    1
  14725. Hi! It’s underneath the passenger rear seat
    1
  14726. Hi! They are good. I did a review here for it https://youtu.be/2TxBiMQCLlg
    1
  14727. True. Here's another tip for hybrid brakes cleaning. Drive up to 40mph and put the car in neutral and brake somewhat hard. When in neutral the hybrid system no longer uses regenerative braking and is the only time when the hydraulic brakes are used 100%.
    1
  14728. Hi’ please post your questions as comments
    1
  14729. Hi! They work in hot climate but you’ll want to use the air conditioner always
    1
  14730. The car is designed to heavily control the charging temperatures. Regardless of what level 2 you get you’ll always be limited by the on board charger. It is designed so that even at maximum charging speed or voltage supplied it is safe. The car will discontinue charging if the temperature rises too much. It is a good idea not to charge the car under direct sun light.
    1
  14731. Hi! It’s possible and it does happen. They’ll replace it for you once they get parts. I wouldn’t be concerned
    1
  14732. I hear this from many viewers I don’t see how it messes with the warranty? In Chicago hybrids are getting under coated without issues
    1
  14733. Hi! I don’t have experience with Ford hybrids
    1
  14734. Hard to tell other than the lack of alternator or by looking at the stamped engine name
    1
  14735. Hi! They might appear the same but they are different internally
    1
  14736. Hi! If you can get one under 100k miles you’re doing good.
    1
  14737. I think it is a good reason to buy one if you’re going to drive it at least weekly. Take care of the car and you should have no issues. If you like hybrids here’s a series that you’ll like on how they work in simple terms https://youtu.be/SX5Klme59eY
    1
  14738. Hi James. Thank you for watching my video. Driving 4-5k miles could be a good distance for hybrids. If that 4-5k miles is spread across the year and not spread across 5 months of the year. So if you’re driving your car daily or at least every week a few times that’s good. I was referring to folks who park their car for months at a time then come back to it and drive it. This is a common scenario on this side of the pond in the US where folks have 2 homes which they spend the winter in warmer climate and leave their car sitting.
    1
  14739. Hi! As long as it’s a vented battery designed to be inside the car it should be ok
    1
  14740. Hybrids particularly don’t do well at all with water especially with the battery being at floor level. If water doesn’t enter the car interior you’re good. If it does I would consider a higher hybrid like a highlander or rav4
    1
  14741. Hi! Thank you for watching my video. The RAV4 hybrid or prime could suit your needs. As far as tapping into the power from the hybrid battery it’s not as simple and using a power inverter is much safer and more efficient
    1
  14742. Hi! I really don’t know much about the Pacifica plug in as I work exclusively for Toyota. The sienna hybrid is excellent but I would test drive one and see if it fits your needs
    1
  14743. Thank you for your comment. As cars become available for me I will film more hybrid maintenance videos.
    1
  14744. magyar2000 thank you for subscribing and welcome to the car care nut family! On your Camry hybrid the fan is on top of the battery if you remove the trim around it you can access it. Your car never came with a filter from the factory but you can install one. Google part no. G92DH-33010 and you’ll find it. It just clips on the vent on the package tray.
    1
  14745. Hi! Behind the vent on the back of the back seat towards the drivers side rear door
    1
  14746. Hi! Honestly there’s no real and accurate way to asses the life of the battery. At this mileage and age likely it’s good. One thing you can do is inspect the fan filters. If they are dirty at this point and it being in Nevada heat I’d walk away.
    1
  14747. They’re good cars as long as they’re maintained.
    1
  14748. Hi! Congratulations on your purchase. I honestly don’t have experience with the Kia Niro hybrid
    1
  14749. I am working on videos for multiple models as cars are available to me. Which mode Toyota do you have?
    1
  14750. That’s very interesting! What kind of setup did you use?
    1
  14751. While I don’t know sources of hybrid batteries I would research online for alternatives. There are some aftermarket companies that provide remanufactured batteries. I don’t recommend nor endorse any of them.
    1
  14752. Hi joe! I am located in Chicago.
    1
  14753. You can’t go wrong with a 2015 Camry hybrid just make sure it’s in good condition and keep up the maintenance and you should have no issues.
    1
  14754. I would closely inspect the car. Maybe they serviced it elsewhere after 50k but usually a good inspection will show it the cars been taken car of or not
    1
  14755. Depends on the condition and maintenance history.
    1
  14756. Hi! It’s a good minivan! A review is coming very soon on the sienna
    1
  14757. Hi! For the Prius prime see this video https://youtu.be/ddBEW93Pthk for the RAV4 prime see this video https://youtu.be/L1l-JNGMTEs
    1
  14758. Hi! That’s not low. You’re all good. Congratulations
    1
  14759. You can use your phone to record the video then upload to youtube
    1
  14760. Hi! Record a video so I can hear it
    1
  14761. Thank you for your comment sergio. Tacoma videos will roll on the next round coming up in a few weeks.
    1
  14762. Hi! I would replace it up to 90k miles.
    1
  14763. Maybe in the future!
    1
  14764. Gratz Buck thank you for watching my video! You are an expert on high voltage handling! Toyota’s hybrid system normally operates around 200-300 volts DC and can boost to over 600volts DC. It’s the DC part that makes it even more dangerous if not careful.
    1
  14765. I think it’s a solid car if you like hybrids. One thing I will say is not to overpay for it and compare it to an Avalon hybrid as well. They are essentially the same car and they both have very solid hybrid drive trains.
    1
  14766. Hi! The battery will be ok but you’d want to closely monitor the filter if equipped and the battery cooling system to make sure it’s working good
    1
  14767. Hi! Your Camry might not be equipped with a filter for the fan. Which if that’s the case I would look into cleaning the fan itself and install a filter. I would get oil changes every 5k and at 120k you’d want to replace the spark plugs. At 100k or 5 years the coolant for the engine and the hybrid system needs replacement. Otherwise you’re all set.
    1
  14768. Chicago area
    1
  14769. It’s located underneath the back seat on the drivers seat behind a panel. The opening for it is round
    1
  14770. Hi Julie! You’re driving your hybrid but short distances and that’s ok. If the weather is very cold give it a minute or two then start driving
    1
  14771. Hi! I would wait until at least 60k miles and you can safely wait up to to 90k miles
    1
  14772. Hi! Yea it’s the same for the transmission
    1
  14773. Hi! Only resource I know of is the repair manual at. Techinfo.Toyota.com
    1
  14774. I work exclusively in toyotas other makes can be different
    1
  14775. Hi! I would change it
    1
  14776. Hi! On hybrids you can change the fluid without issues. I would change it
    1
  14777. I recommend you change the engine oil every 5k miles or 6 months
    1
  14778. Hi! Sorry did you mean how often the transmission oil or the engine oil needs to be changed?
    1
  14779. Every 60-90k or 6-9 years
    1
  14780. The fluid typically starts getting dark and gritty around 90k miles from experience. Were your miles mostly highway?
    1
  14781. Hi! Lifetime is relative term. I would replace it
    1
  14782. Hi! It’s the axle seals. If I get one in the shop I would film it for diy but those are not very common to leak
    1
  14783. Hi! Every 60k miles or 6 years. Here’s a video with a general overview of the fluid replacement on non hybrid Toyota’s without a dipstick https://youtu.be/eRxSu4-4ojo
    1
  14784. Hi Joey. If there was a different oil from the factory there would have been a specific note about it. Go for it.
    1
  14785. No it doesn’t in the case of hybrids and prime
    1
  14786. On toyota hybrids yes they are the same fluid
    1
  14787. I would check out highlander hybrids and the Venza after the rav4.
    1
  14788. Hi! It still needs to be replaced
    1
  14789. Hi! It wouldn’t damage it immediately but I would drain it and use the correct fluid
    1
  14790. Hi! Don’t have this model in my area
    1
  14791. Hi John. The color you’re having is normal for WS fluid. It tends to turn darker quick. But if you shine a light at it you’ll see a beautiful red color. Burned fluid will tend to be brown and look more like motor oil when a light it pointed at it
    1
  14792. Hi! It does need the same service. I has a differential if it’s awd
    1
  14793. The rear differential usually holds around 3-4 quarts
    1
  14794. Hi! The front differential is part of the transmission. Usually most of them hold around 4-5 quarts
    1
  14795. Hi! It should be similar yes
    1
  14796. Hi! Which model do you have?
    1
  14797. Hi! You could do that if you can get the hose in and let gravity pull the fluid.
    1
  14798. I wouldn’t on Toyota hybrid transmissions
    1
  14799. I am not sure about the Lincoln zephyr.
    1
  14800. Hi on this video they are on the same car it’s a 2017 RAV4 hybrid
    1
  14801. Hi! On a Prius I would change the fluids.
    1
  14802. Hi! Your car would only have the transmission no differential and no temperature check is needed just fill it until it overflows and you’re good to go
    1
  14803. Hi! You can change it on hybrid at any mileage
    1
  14804. Hi! I would 4 jack stands to level the car
    1
  14805. Thank you!
    1
  14806. Hi david. It is a bit different and one that I want to do a video on. Any chance you’re in the Chicago area?
    1
  14807. Hi! Depends on the model.
    1
  14808. Usually 2-3
    1
  14809. Hi! I’ll double check but there should be a plug right next to the axle which is the fill and one underneath for the drain
    1
  14810. Hi! On Toyota hybrids you can change the fluids at any time without worry about issues unlike a traditional automatic transmission. Merry Christmas
    1
  14811. The quickjack is awesome! You don’t need jack stands with it as it has a lock
    1
  14812. Hi! Yes that’s the difference between hot and cold that’s why you’d want to wait until the fluid completely stops dripping from the transmission fill plug before you reinstall the fill plug
    1
  14813. Honestly at this age I would leave it alone
    1
  14814. Hi! Use the one next to the axle not above it! That plug could be for production. Don’t use it.
    1
  14815. If it’s 2WD then no differential
    1
  14816. This is for hybrids they use Toyota ATF WS
    1
  14817. Hi! The same procedure applies to your sienna hybrid. Very simple drain and fill
    1
  14818. Hi! I wouldn’t
    1
  14819. Hi! Just one for both wheels
    1
  14820. I haven’t seen one get messed up as it’s very simple
    1
  14821. Hi! The transmission fluid is exactly the same as the one in the video and I recommend replacement around 100-145k kms or 6-9 years
    1
  14822. Hi! You can replace the transmission fluid safely between 60-90k miles so you’re good to replace it at 80k
    1
  14823. No
    1
  14824. Hi! 2-3 should do it
    1
  14825. Hi! Yea it’s the same
    1
  14826. Hi! You’re within the window of replacement for the transmission fluid. You can safely wait until 60k miles or change it now
    1
  14827. Hi! I don’t have experience with Nissan hybrids
    1
  14828. Yes it’s the same deal with that generation highlander hybrid
    1
  14829. I would try to get it as level as possible. It’s near impossible to get it 100% level but as long as it’s not a largely sloped driveway it should be ok
    1
  14830. It’s possible you have a sticking EGR valve which is starting to be a problem for these
    1
  14831. Hi! Usually 2-3
    1
  14832. It’s the same as this video.
    1
  14833. Hi! It is a hybrid model?
    1
  14834. Hi! I wouldn’t change until you’re at or past 100k kms
    1
  14835. Hi! Every 60k miles or 6 years
    1
  14836. The video by Weber auto will show you in details what’s going on inside. Also for a more simple version of that see this video https://youtu.be/u15wHYuEFmU
    1
  14837. Hi! For the transmission it’s 37 ft lbs. for the rear transaxle it’s 29 ft lbs
    1
  14838. I mentioned it in the differential section, should’ve done it at the beginning though.
    1
  14839. Hi! Which model?
    1
  14840. Hi! Yes the same procedure
    1
  14841. Hi! I would replace the transmission fluid on non hybrids every 60k miles or 6 years here’s a video for that https://youtu.be/eRxSu4-4ojo
    1
  14842. Hi! Around 3-5 quarts should take care of it
    1
  14843. Hi! Your Prius V does use the same gasket number but there are 3-4 part numbers for the exact same gasket. Your Prius V only has a transmission in the front, no rear differential. You will need 2 gaskets total
    1
  14844. The color is called predawn gray mica
    1
  14845. No still have both possible options
    1
  14846. Hi! I personally would.
    1
  14847. Hi! This one could be affected by the issue with the 8 speed. Have the dealership hear the noise and inspect it
    1
  14848. Hi! Yes you can
    1
  14849. They’re really good so far without issues.
    1
  14850. Hi! They are published in the repair manual which can be found on techinfo.Toyota.com
    1
  14851. Yes it should be ok.
    1
  14852. It’s not bad just not beneficial
    1
  14853. Hi! Hard to tell without driving it. Have the dealership take a look to verify
    1
  14854. If that’s what recommended in your owners manual you’re good. Different markets will have different recommendations.
    1
  14855. Hi! Congratulations on your Camry purchase! Do you have any specific questions?
    1
  14856. The steering rack replacement is kinda of a red flag. Has the car been in an accident before? Did they disclose why they replaced it?
    1
  14857. Hi! I wouldn’t worry about buying a 5 year old rav4 as long as it’s in good shape and been maintained right. Here’s a video specific to that generation rav4 for things to watch out for on that model https://youtu.be/KIAq0M3BUWQ
    1
  14858. Hi! The 2018 Camry in the US didn’t have the 2AR-FE. It has the A25A
    1
  14859. Agreed. Toyota even with their recent slight complication is still very simple compared to some of the German offerings!
    1
  14860. Unfortunately I don’t have the same experience with honda that I do with Toyota.
    1
  14861. Hi! It shouldn’t be a problem
    1
  14862. They’re nice cars. Anything specific about that you’d like to know?
    1
  14863. That’s a similar engine to the one in the Camry with the same technology.
    1
  14864. I would replace the engine oil every 5k miles or 6 months
    1
  14865. That’s very interesting. I’d have to inspect it in person it’s definitely not normal though
    1
  14866. Try this. Set the air source to recirculate not fresh air and see if it stops doing it
    1
  14867. That could be normal. Does it happen when it’s not freezing outside?
    1
  14868. Hi! What year and model Toyota do you have?
    1
  14869. Hi! Honestly this has come up. Let me ask you this. Do you have any movement or passengers in the back seat when it happens?
    1
  14870. I would keep it close to 5k or 6 months on oil changes if you’re keeping the car long
    1
  14871. In these limited conditions it’s ok. If it’s all the time then it might be an issue.
    1
  14872. Depends on the conditions. Like driving at top speed for example?
    1
  14873. It will find a medium between the two driving styles
    1
  14874. Mostly Kentucky in the US models
    1
  14875. Hi! I would recommend the 18 SE if it’s in good shape and the transmission currently is shifting good. Never heard of being easy on the pedal. A car this new should shift smoothly
    1
  14876. Hi! Is the hvac set on auto? Also you want to compare your car to another car at the dealership so they can see what you see.
    1
  14877. Very true Luis. Toyota usually don’t put low profile tires in their main stream cars but things are changing.
    1
  14878. Go Cubs go!
    1
  14879. 😂 exactly!
    1
  14880. Hi! You can drain the tank and fill it with good fuel. Damage is not likely
    1
  14881. The fuel pump recall is covered by Toyota replace the fuel pump under the recall and you shouldn’t have issues with it again
    1
  14882. Hi! Depends on your needs. The Camry will be bigger and possibly more comfortable. The corolla will be smaller possibly less comfortable but also cheaper to buy. Both are solid reliable cars though.
    1
  14883. Hi! Any pulsation or shaking when you apply the brakes after they’re hot?
    1
  14884. Hi! Here’s a review I did on the dynamic force engine https://youtu.be/9GWKBbEMCC4
    1
  14885. Hi Jose! There’s not much to the update really but getting the update file is the issue. It’s protected and not to be shared by staff without written consent from Toyota which I don’t have. I would worry too much about the dealership doing it. A lot of safety nets are in place to avoid putting the wrong software in a car.
    1
  14886. Hi! I would try to road force balance the tires. The 4runners seem a bit sensitive to this.
    1
  14887. While it’s too new and problem free so far I’ll post a video on them when I have enough material to cover.
    1
  14888. The 2020+ corolla and 2019+ hatchback? Or the 2014-2019 corolla?
    1
  14889. You’re welcome! I think that price is very good. The best time to buy a new car is when you need one.
    1
  14890. I’ve had a case or two like this. The antenna will need to be tested first to verify but in the end it might need a radio
    1
  14891. Hi! Regular fm or xm
    1
  14892. Thank you for your comment. Hybrids in this Camry has been very reliable and no issues to report at all. No engine or hybrid system problems and no transmissions issues. All other issues apply to hybrids as well.
    1
  14893. Interesting some states won’t allow car sales with open recalls
    1
  14894. Some of them will leak. If your Camry is not leaking likely you’ll be ok. If it leaks in the future clean the leak and see how long it takes to come back and go from thete
    1
  14895. Yes they do.
    1
  14896. Hi! They are good cars. Check it over for accidents and if everything checks out and you like it, it’s a good purchase
    1
  14897. The body and some of the chassis problems yes. Hybrids in those years are very solid and have no issues with the transmission at all from day one.
    1
  14898. It’s from the sun roof.
    1
  14899. Good engines. Working on the tundra and Tacoma videos
    1
  14900. Working on it. Thinking of a truck week coming up in April with more tundra Tacoma and 4Runner videos
    1
  14901. Hi! The transmission is great on the hybrids. On the non hybrids 2018 had a few issues early but not later and not other years
    1
  14902. You could go with the 18s from an SE
    1
  14903. I personally don’t recommend aftermarket sunroof installs. They’re great the first 5 years then the problems start
    1
  14904. Hmmm that is interesting. The hybrid transmission doesn’t even have anything that would cause a harsh engagement. I wonder if something was frozen. Was the car parked for a long time?
    1
  14905. Sorry I wasn’t clear. So if you put larger tires it might hit the fenders or when you make turns the tire will contact the frame or the inner fender liners.
    1
  14906. The strut mount should be ok but you’ll run in clearance issues.
    1
  14907. Hi! It’s not a bad thing but they don’t exactly do miracles either. I wouldn’t over pay for high mileage oil. Instead consider changing the oil more often which will actually do more good than the high mileage oil.
    1
  14908. The 2AR engine was used in the Camry until 2017 and in the RAV4 until 2018 then both have the new engine. Except the Camry v6 which has the updated 2GR-FKS
    1
  14909. Hi! It needs to be a Toyota scan tool or a bi directional scan tool
    1
  14910. On these if the whine is the whine im referring to which is very loud the transmission does have an issue
    1
  14911. Hi! On this model Camry they are both very good honestly.
    1
  14912. I would have to look. But the same size of that other trims that have smaller wheels. Like that LE or SE
    1
  14913. Hi! If you stick with the oem sizes for the smaller wheel you should be good. Slight inaccuracy in the speedometer but nothing big.
    1
  14914. Was the fluid ever changed? How many miles does it have now?
    1
  14915. I hear you. That’s just the part add labor and now we’re really into engine and trans territory
    1
  14916. The DCM issues are ongoing and you’re right it’s common on the later ones. This video was actually filmed a while back before the DCM fix was out. A video on the DCM is coming out soon
    1
  14917. I would go with a 2018+ SE for features and 2015-2017 any trim for simplicity. If you want the ultimate gas mileage 2018+ LE
    1
  14918. Hi! The 2012-2017 Camry hybrids are get good if you’re on a budget. The 2018+ are very good but can be a bit more expensive
    1
  14919. Rav4 switched to the A25A in 2019
    1
  14920. Hi! The 8 speed transmission has issues limited to the very first examples. They changed something internally in the transmission to make things better along with new software. That change made things good and have no issues after that.
    1
  14921. The newest generation corolla is very good so far.
    1
  14922. It could be either the strut or even the sunroof if you have one.
    1
  14923. I would start with that for now. If that’s good swap injectors.
    1
  14924. How was the compression?
    1
  14925. Ok could be a few things. I would start with a compression test. Also the vibration around 45 could be a torque converter issue which wouldn’t cause codes.
    1
  14926. What’s the mileage? Also is it a continuous misfire or you don’t feel it all the time?
    1
  14927. Hi! Is it a hybrid or regular? Also if not hybrid is it 4 or 6 cylinder? Do you have the misfire codes?
    1
  14928. I would record it and show it to the dealership.
    1
  14929. I would be more careful inspecting a 2018 as it does have a few quirks that might need attention. However if everything is good I wouldn’t avoid it
    1
  14930. I would have to listen to the noise but is it a knocking sound from the engine?
    1
  14931. Which model do you have? A hybrid or non hybrid?
    1
  14932. Hi! It’s a standard of gasoline that has many benefits. More information on their website https://www.toptiergas.com/
    1
  14933. Every 5k is good and check your tire pressures and overall tire condition
    1
  14934. Hi! How’s the weather in your area?
    1
  14935. I am from Chicago so rust is always an issue
    1
  14936. Is your camrys transmission making the whining noise?
    1
  14937. Yes it does. And hybrids on this model has been very reliable
    1
  14938. You can.
    1
  14939. Issues not related to the driver train yes but not the drivetrain issues
    1
  14940. They are very good so far. Really haven’t seen any issues related to the hybrid system in this generation
    1
  14941. I think they are very good. Very minimal issues with this generation hybrid system
    1
  14942. Has the car been in an accident? Does the emblem has any cracks?
    1
  14943. Hi! Do you have a scan tool that can read data? What are you maf readings at idle?
    1
  14944. The first dealership is overcharging! I wouldn’t charge more than 0.5 hour as the test drive is 20 minutes and reset is 5 minutes. The 2nd dealership has no idea what they’re talking about as disconnecting the battery doesn’t reset the transmission memory since around 2010 on most Toyota models....
    1
  14945. Hi! The transmission issues usually surface at low miles. If your transmission is good at this mileage likely you’re good and have nothing to worry about. The window seal just need to be replaced. Email me your vin and I’ll look it up and give you the part no
    1
  14946. Hi! It’s hard for me to pinpoint the noise without hearing it. But the best way with your dealership is to record the sound when it happens. That way they can hear and get an idea and not charge you and can’t duplicate since the sound is intermittent.
    1
  14947. Hi! First congratulations on your purchase. 2nd I wouldn’t worry unless you have issues. You can contact your dealership if you have any shifting issues and they will take care of them under warranty. Most of the issues are software updates.
    1
  14948. Hi wade! So I would get originals on this one. They’re inexpensive and not really worth going aftermarket for cost. You don’t have to disconnect the links to replace them but you do have to lower the subframe a little bit to get to the back bolts they are 12mm bolts
    1
  14949. If you have it set on fresh air it will blow hot because of air being pushed as the car is moving
    1
  14950. I would repair it. The guys that repair bent wheels do a really good job. Just make sure it’s a reputable company that do good work.
    1
  14951. Could be something bent with the suspension. A good alignment and inspection would reveal what’s going on. Also if you know that you have a bent wheel I’d start with that.
    1
  14952. If they did the alignment and it was within spec you should be good. But if the alignment is off I would get it fixed and involve your insurance if things get expensive.
    1
  14953. Frame damage? Has the car been in an accident? If so what was the impact point?
    1
  14954. A bent wheel would cause vibration and shimmy in the wheel. Wander might not be related but the body of the car vibrating at higher speeds could give the impression of wandering. Cupped tires I would get the alignment checked
    1
  14955. I don’t ignore valid concerns for customers that bring their cars where I work. If you have a rattle let me hear it with you and warranty will cover it unless it’s caused by misuse, accidents or modifications.
    1
  14956. Hi! Warranty will cover rattles related to the original sound system of the car. Often rattles from the sound system as simple to fix and quiet down.
    1
  14957. Not really. It will adapt to the driving conditions it’s in. So if two drivers drive it, the computer will cope with both.
    1
  14958. Hi! If you sent an email it’s there. I’m very backed up on emails and really behind. Trying to catch up as time allows. Will replay to your email once I catch up to it. Still answering emails from January.
    1
  14959. Hybrid or non hybrid?
    1
  14960. Hi! Usually around 5-7 years
    1
  14961. I wouldn’t be. Do you have a 2015 or 2019?
    1
  14962. Hi! The safety sense on your corolla doesn’t have updates yet that I am aware of.
    1
  14963. Sorry a bit backed up on emails. Get a lot of emails daily and answer them In order.
    1
  14964. Do you have a print out of the alignment they did? If you do email it to me so I can take a look if not I would ask them for one.
    1
  14965. If you hit a curb and the dealership is saying there’s a vent subframe I would involve your insurance and get it fixed right.
    1
  14966. The us does have Camry hybrids and they’re very popular.
    1
  14967. Hi. Nothing chronic that I’ve seen but rattles and buzzes are common and possible and typically are simple to resolve. First find what’s causing the noise by holding different dash panels to find the source
    1
  14968. Hi! The spark plugs are 120k miles
    1
  14969. Yes I would start by having the dealership check for software updates if not have them reset the memory
    1
  14970. Huh that’s interesting. Would you do me a favor and take a picture of the sticker showing the engine and email it to me?
    1
  14971. Hi! Where are located?
    1
  14972. Hi! They are both good. 4 cylinder for gas mileage V6 for power
    1
  14973. They’re similar yes
    1
  14974. Have the dealership inspect it. You’d want to describe the problem to them with details.
    1
  14975. Some of them do except the transmission issues they don't apply to hybrid models.
    1
  14976. Hi! I’d check the car against the common issues. Most of the 18 problems should be fixed by now so if they were ever there
    1
  14977. Hi! The dealership will be able to tell you if it is old hardware or new. Using the transmission serial number
    1
  14978. Ok I see. The v6 should warm up quick. I’d give it up to 2-3 minutes max and off you go. I would want to compare it to another similar car to see time wise if it’s the same. I don’t suspect an issue. I would have the dealership or if you have a techstream look at the heated thermostat make sure it’s not coming on in the warm up period. If not then I’d say that it’s normal warm up time.
    1
  14979. Ok. What’s the outside temperature and do you use the heater from the moment you get in the car? The reason I ask is your engine is equipped with a heated thermostat that could force it open and that makes the car take longer to warm up
    1
  14980. That could be an issue if you’re driving in hilly areas or demanding high load from the engine when cold. Hows your driving routine when the engine is cold?
    1
  14981. This Camry doesn’t have a CVT
    1
  14982. It will adapt but not overnight or over a short period of time. If you have shifting concerns with a used car I would have it reset so you’re not just driving and waiting for it to readapt.
    1
  14983. They are normally maintenance free however it wouldn’t hurt to lube the tails every 6 months to a year.
    1
  14984. Hi! Here’s a similar video for your 2017 corolla https://youtu.be/i8FON3-RYks
    1
  14985. Hi! Yes https://youtu.be/ksSCItmo5co
    1
  14986. Mobil 1 is the oil provider for Toyota.
    1
  14987. 6 months should be ok. I am not worried about fuel at this one occurrence
    1
  14988. Hi! Best way is to find a pattern that you could reproduce the issue. Easiest one is the shift shock when you go into drive. If you can get it to happen ask the advisor at the dealership if you could show the technician or the advisor what’s going on and have them feel the harsh engagement into drive.
    1
  14989. Is this in the us?
    1
  14990. Your engine doesn’t require 0w16 even in the US that’s a GR series engine.
    1
  14991. I hear you. Which model and engine?
    1
  14992. I wouldn’t have Information for Ireland as I live in the US
    1
  14993. @Jim Hamilton what’s your location? US or Europe?
    1
  14994. Hi! They will. But no more than an hour labir
    1
  14995. You got it! Email for information! And you won’t mess it up. Just take your time and it’ll all go well.
    1
  14996. Hi! There’s on one TSB for shifting enhancement for the 2018 Camry.
    1
  14997. Hi! You can use S mode and use the artificial downshifts to assist in slowing down the car. S mode is basically a graduated B mode that you control. And no worries on overcharging the battery as the computer won’t allow that.
    1
  14998. Hi! It involves removing the headliner and the sunroof to add shims in certain spots in the body metal folds. There’s a TSB for it
    1
  14999. It’s a very good car. I would recommend you drive one and see how you like it
    1
  15000. Hi! Hybrids are better in this generation. They don’t have transmission issues at all even the first year
    1
  15001. Your XSE is the same thing with tires and wheels. Take it easy on pot holes and make sure you keep your pressures between 30-32 cold that helps a bit. And yes it is the low profile tires
    1
  15002. You can go with the same wheel tire combo as the SE or better the LE if you are worried about pothole damage. They don’t look good but they get that part of the job done.
    1
  15003. That’s possibly a weak jumper pack that caused low voltage on the start that threw everything off.
    1
  15004. Hi! The 2020 Camry is an excellent car without a CVT and on the hybrid ones they don’t exactly have a conventional CVT to worry about and they are more reliable than the gasoline only model
    1
  15005. That is correct as well. The steering is completely different and actually better in my opinion
    1
  15006. You could try a reset of the transmission memory which can only be done using a scan tool that is capable. But I will mention one thing. The gas pedal in the 2018+ Camry is noticeably harder to press physically than the 2010 Camry.
    1
  15007. The green eco light is an indication that you are driving economically. It’s not a problem or a concern that should worry you. It’s normal.
    1
  15008. Hi! The green light is that the eco light?
    1
  15009. They are both good honestly. I cannot speak much on the accord but I would advise you to drive them both and decide. I don’t like the turbo options from the accord. No 4 cylinder turbo will be as smooth as the naturally aspirated v6 in the Camry. So that’s something that would deter me from an accord. But that’s just me, you might not mind that.
    1
  15010. Lol I hear you. I would buy the XSE for the looks and be willing to put up with the wheel and tire damage. But if you’re not willing to put up with it then go with the LE or XLE
    1
  15011. Chain
    1
  15012. The transmission noise is very clear. Don’t have the radio on and if there’s an issue you’ll hear it loud and clear. Make sure you focus closely on the transmission. It is an odd shifting transmission where it will tend to hunt for gears sometimes. But any harsh shifting or loud whining is an issue.
    1
  15013. Hi! Look for used ones from the same year with leather
    1
  15014. Hybrids are very solid for this model
    1
  15015. Hi! If your owners manual states you can then you can. If it states you need to go back to 16 if you went with 20 I would stick with the recommendation
    1
  15016. Is the weather cold outside? And does the smoke happen at idle or driving?
    1
  15017. Interesting. I would check if something is locking up and causing a drag on the belt when it’s Cold. Otherwise replace the belt and see if it takes care of it
    1
  15018. Hi! Which year and model?
    1
  15019. They are both good and equal. If buying a hybrid the LE will have the best gas mileage. If you live in an area with bad roads I’d say the LE will be better for comfort but the SE will drive better
    1
  15020. If you have no other choice yes
    1
  15021. I agree with you. I’ve seen some with over 100k miles and things are good. Most of the issues come up early and within the warranty time. Most of the serious issues were addressed with updated parts or software updates.
    1
  15022. That is interesting. I’ve also heard that 0W16 is not available in some parts of the world. Perhaps that’s why. I wonder if they changed the programming to allow for different oils to control the variable oil pressure.
    1
  15023. Hi! They’re good cars. They’re too low to the ground though so you want to be careful as they’re easily scraped
    1
  15024. Thank you for watching my video! The 2020 or 2021 should be good options. The 2021 is slightly updated but the 2020 is also a solid option
    1
  15025. I haven’t seen any issues with electric water pumps or egr yet on this engine. On the corolla the 1.8L is the same as the older generation and doesn’t have any of these features.
    1
  15026. So when you pull the intake manifold off, you’ll see 4 ports on the cylinder head. Between two of the ports you’ll see the PCV valve sitting in a little pocket. So you do have to remove the intake manifold to pull the valve out no way around it. I wish I have a picture to show you. Next intake I have off I’ll take a picture.
    1
  15027. Hi what model and year is your hybrid?
    1
  15028. Contact your dealership as Toyota is covering this depending on the type of issues you’re having with the white paint
    1
  15029. No you don’t need to. You’re good.
    1
  15030. Your engine in your 2011 Camry 4 cylinder is called port injected which is injection before the intake valve not direct injected in the cylinder. Dynamic force engines have both direct and port
    1
  15031. Hi! Your 2011 Camry doesn’t have the dynamic force engine. The 4 cylinder engine in that year is also a 2.5L engine however it’s called the 2AR-FE engine
    1
  15032. Hi! That is normal for transmission to shift harsh when cold. I suggest you let the car warm up a bit before driving
    1
  15033. Hi! Updated pads
    1
  15034. Thank you John!
    1
  15035. Honestly at this age if the radiator is original I would replace it. Perhaps every 10 years or so
    1
  15036. If the fluid is never changed it can be the issue.
    1
  15037. Hi! Just keep an eye out for a continuous loud ticking similar to the rattle noise. If you don’t hear it then you’re ok for now but the rattle is not good.
    1
  15038. 😂 that’s a good one!
    1
  15039. Coolant trail
    1
  15040. It’s very common. Did you catch it in time? Or did the transmission run out of fluid?
    1
  15041. Hi! It could be but you’ll need to find out which one through diagnosis by watching the sensor readings
    1
  15042. Hi! Unfortunately I cannot help with shipping but contacting a dealership that is close and asking them if they ship internationally is your best bet
    1
  15043. Hi! If the car has very good service history I’d say it’s good. That’s a good year to buy. The engine in that one is the 3.3L V6
    1
  15044. Hi! They are ok just make sure the engine has no leaks
    1
  15045. Most of the issues apply to the other models with the 3mz
    1
  15046. I hear you. They’re fun to replace. My hand cramped just remember that one!
    1
  15047. Could be but a torque converter shudder would disappear if you downshift the transmission
    1
  15048. Hi! Any check engine light? Or just a vibration? If no check engine light try cleaning the throttle body
    1
  15049. Hi! In the end of the video I made recommendations for next years to buy
    1
  15050. Do you hear the noise with the belt off and engine running?
    1
  15051. When do you hear the squeak? Another common one is the alternator and the water pump. If everything checks out I'd start with a new belt.
    1
  15052. I’m located in Chicago.
    1
  15053. I’m in Chicago. Sorry.
    1
  15054. Check your tires spark plugs and go from there. It’s hard for me to tell the reason without inspecting the car in person but these are some common issues. Also make sure the brakes are not sticking.
    1
  15055. Hi! Many issues can cause this however it’s not a very common pattern of a problem like it’s all caused by one problem. Could be loose bushings could be loose lower control arms or ever just debris on the ABS sensors
    1
  15056. I would be a bit skeptical about buying a car that doesn’t run. Unless you’re a mechanic and will do all the work yourself and the rest of the van is good
    1
  15057. Hi! The first generation is good but they really didn’t do well with rust
    1
  15058. I would use the latest part no. Always! They are updated and also sometimes you can get a remanufactured unit just add 84 to the end of the part number and see if it shows a reman unit
    1
  15059. Hi! Check the axles
    1
  15060. Hi! Does it have good maintenance history and pass a used car inspection?
    1
  15061. Is the problem shift flares?
    1
  15062. Hi! Go to parts.Toyota.com and enter your vin number and search spark plugs
    1
  15063. I always recommend you do that.
    1
  15064. They got much better after 2010 into 2011 models
    1
  15065. Hi! The 2015-2016 would be my first choice.
    1
  15066. Which model do you have?
    1
  15067. Around 17-20 hours in the 2GR-FE
    1
  15068. Hi does the noise happen with the car off or running
    1
  15069. Hello Tikon. Sorry this comment slipped through and I didn’t see it in time. Has the transmission fluid been changed? I would also check the rear mount on the rear differential that I talked about in the video. Although that would be more when accelerating but wouldn’t hurt to check it.
    1
  15070. Hi! The first generation sienna is very reliable but also getting older so they’ll have a few things that usually need attention with age. Rust is really not kind to thek
    1
  15071. I have not measured them honestly.
    1
  15072. Really all these siennas are a good value at the prices they’re going for today. But I would make sure you’re buying one that is taken care of
    1
  15073. Perhaps yes I would replace it if it’s not as smooth as the new one
    1
  15074. Try to disconnect the belt and run it and see if it changes. And some ticking is ok with the 2GR
    1
  15075. Hi! Do you have to have a recording of the noise?
    1
  15076. No 2003 is the previous generation
    1
  15077. Hi! Any chance you can record a video of the sound so I can hear it?
    1
  15078. Labor rate in my area is around 150 an hour
    1
  15079. Hi! This will need in person inspection to see what’s going on. But I would look at the center support bearing and the rear diff mount
    1
  15080. Hi! Make sure it’s not a wheel bearing. With all 4 wheels off the ground the transfer case does make a humming noise which is normal.
    1
  15081. Hi! If it’s maintained right it can last more time.
    1
  15082. It’s truly a good car! I haven’t seen issues yet other than a single hybrid battery failure caused by a severely clogged fan filter and fan so it doesn’t really count
    1
  15083. Hi! We don’t have it in the US.
    1
  15084. On the Prius V there’s a kit that retrofits the later filter to the early ones
    1
  15085. Hi! This is more of an app issues not really a technical issue with the car. Sorry but that’s not something I would know about.
    1
  15086. Hi! That’s coming soon I hope
    1
  15087. Hi!it will need to be checked for codes
    1
  15088. That’s a good model if it’s been take care of
    1
  15089. Hi. Which model Lexus hybrid?
    1
  15090. Check the 12v battery.
    1
  15091. Good mechanics will be honest not to rip you off but honest enough to tell you things as they are good or bad. Hard to tell unless you’ve dealt with them for some time
    1
  15092. You can add a filter to the older models.
    1
  15093. Hi! I wouldn’t rotate it in honestly
    1
  15094. Hi! I wouldn’t unless there’s an iasue
    1
  15095. Hi! It’s not an issue
    1
  15096. Honestly this one is difficult to diagnose in this format without hearing the noise and trying to pin point it
    1
  15097. Check the connection of the rear shocks if it’s loose
    1
  15098. Hi! Yes but I would check the fan and clean it if needed first
    1
  15099. Hi! Future video!
    1
  15100. Hi! Your Rav4 is new! I wouldn’t even think about the battery at this time. When it’s 20 years old maybe or when it has 400k miles but I wouldn’t worry about the battery at all.
    1
  15101. It’s very easy on the 1ZZ. A lot easier than this one
    1
  15102. We did that when it was under warranty.
    1
  15103. Hi! Used to it over the years
    1
  15104. At the moment I can barely keep up with cars at the shop. Soon we’ll be back on the livestream
    1
  15105. Hi! Hard to tell without diagnosis in person. Going through a puddle of water will cause vibrations in the wheel but the squeak is what I can’t explain without hearing
    1
  15106. Depends on the shop doing it. Figure around 8-13 hours of labor
    1
  15107. Hi! Which engine does it have?
    1
  15108. With filming and everything around 7 hours. Without filming it would take me around 3-4 hours
    1
  15109. Hi! Parts.Toyota.com
    1
  15110. The 2AR can make a small rattle that’s normal. If it’s a deep metallic rattle then it could be vvti
    1
  15111. Hi! I’m not a pastor but I serve at Church
    1
  15112. Hi! It shouldn’t be an issue
    1
  15113. Hi! Both of these SUVs have a very similar hybrid system. I would drive both of them and see which one you like best and the difference in price. Either one you buy will be good as a hybrid car it just comes down to which one fits your budget and needs in a car.
    1
  15114. Be careful with those. I’ve actually seen those before not in the US and some of them are done right and some are done terribly. You want to know who did the conversion.
    1
  15115. I would keep oil changes no more than 8k kilometers on both cars if you plan to keep them long. The long oil change interval on the newer cars could have a negative impact as the car gets older
    1
  15116. Hi! It’s not very simple. Anything is possible but at a very high cost making it not really worth it
    1
  15117. It does but not as loud as some models.
    1
  15118. No. The oil needs to be a non conductive oil
    1
  15119. @4CRASH06 send me an email
    1
  15120. @4CRASH06 are you in the Chicago area?
    1
  15121. It’s not as needed in the newer Prius. But it’s a good idea to visit the throttle body and clean it. It’s actually very simple and very diy to do so.
    1
  15122. Hi! Hmmm very good question. Honestly on my side I can’t check but I would look for PTC relay
    1
  15123. Huh.... that’s interesting. Is it a US hybrid model?
    1
  15124. Nice! Wish you the best in your career!
    1
  15125. Hi! When the engine turns off it doesn’t immediately go into high rpm. Also at the high start rpm from the electric motor it actually builds up pressure quick
    1
  15126. Hi! That’s good. With the engine running and AC on run a magnet by the compressor back and where the lines go and see if it comes on
    1
  15127. Most of the newer ones don’t have a belt. All don’t have an alternator. They do have engine coolant
    1
  15128. Thank you for watching the video and your comment. A future series that’s in the works will go into engines both hybrid and gasoline and how things work which I hope will give you more information.
    1
  15129. There are 2 theories on this. One says it will harm the engine one says it won’t. I trust Toyota engineering that it will not harm things. But the harm wouldn’t be immediate if any, it would be over a very long time.
    1
  15130. Hi! It was available in the 16-18 model got removed in the 19+ models
    1
  15131. Priis that make the beeping sound when reversing is to alert the driver you’re in reverse. The sound you heart in this video is very loud and hard to miss. Some of the older models didn’t have it. In those cases an aftermarket solution is the only way
    1
  15132. A 2015 might not have it as loud or noticeable. The newer ones say around 2019 and up are really loud. But I do wonder if this is for US models only.
    1
  15133. It could be. When you tried it was the engine running or off?
    1
  15134. That is true as the coolant will need some circulation
    1
  15135. Mevotech is also good. Not the same as original but also costs 1/3
    1
  15136. Hi! If there’s a cut in the boot perhaps it’s ok to replace but just a small amount of grease I wouldn’t.
    1
  15137. Hi did you have a specific question on the air suspension?
    1
  15138. Glad I could help
    1
  15139. Thank you for watching my videos. They do fail eventually but not prematurely or chronic. Usually with age or extreme high mileage.
    1
  15140. Hi! They did have some issues yes
    1
  15141. Thank you Leo! I’m glad I could help!
    1
  15142. Hi! That wouldn’t hurt
    1
  15143. Hi! Does this happen at speeds or from take off?
    1
  15144. Hi! I would call the parts department and ask them if the ball joint comes separate. In some cases it does and some don’t. If you email me your VIN I can look it up
    1
  15145. Hi! Alignment is covered for a very short period. What year is your truck?
    1
  15146. Hi Jorge. It’s possible that they do that. The state will usually have specifics on what qualifies and what doesnt
    1
  15147. Hi! Tire on ground and parking brake applied or brake pressed.
    1
  15148. dhg111 ok that’s possible. But did you notice any noise before? If you did then what they did is good. If you had a concern with noise then it’s very possible that the bushing was worn and causing the noise.
    1
  15149. Hi! Contact your local dealership and ask. They’ll be able to tell you if it had the recall done, still open or it never was involved in it
    1
  15150. Hi! For the bearing you’ll need a press. Take the knuckle off and ask a local shop to press the new bearing in and either reuse the hub or replace it
    1
  15151. Hi! Which year rav4 and what brand tires do you have?
    1
  15152. Hi! On ball joints on toyotas they don’t have grease fittings. Checking them will depend on the model some you’ll have to support the knuckle to unload them and check most you can just move the wheel up and down and you’ll feel if it’s loose
    1
  15153. They can be but there problem is finding replacement bushings as Toyota doesn’t sell them for the newer cars.
    1
  15154. Fuel system cleaning is additional maintenance than can help in specific situations. If you very regularly drive short distances and very rarely drive at highway speeds it could help otherwise it really doesn’t do much
    1
  15155. Bad fuel or very old fuel from a car that sat for years or someone added sugar from vandalism
    1
  15156. Hi! Unless there’s contamination, I don’t see a reason to clean the fuel lines.
    1
  15157. Hi! I wouldn’t if they don’t have play
    1
  15158. That’s a bit on the high side
    1
  15159. Hi! Struts?
    1
  15160. No earlier than 50k it’s not a bad idea
    1
  15161. Hi Tim! Honestly that’s a potential sight of a power steering rack leak. I would do this. Replace the boot alone first and keep an eye on the fluid level over the next 6 months. It’s not difficult to replace just needs to be followed by an alignment as you need to take the outer tie rod first
    1
  15162. Thank you for watching my channel!
    1
  15163. Hopefully getting the LC500 in the next few weeks
    1
  15164. Hi! I wouldn’t replace the struts if they don’t have an issue.
    1
  15165. I would replace them in pairs. You can replace one and get away with it but for best results I would replace them in pairs
    1
  15166. Hi! Honestly I don’t have much experience with remote tailgate lock options
    1
  15167. Hi! Do you mean the strut boot?
    1
  15168. Hi! Is the spring sitting correctly?
    1
  15169. Hi! The brown covers stay as they protect certain areas of the spring
    1
  15170. Hi! Thank you for watching my videos! That is becoming an increasing common issue with some models and the operating theory of the drop is the strut mount separating and it can be seen. Did they replace the mounts
    1
  15171. Best protection in this case is prevention by using proper tools and training when dealing with coil springs
    1
  15172. It’s not safe to remove the springs without proper tools and precautions. The spring if removed incorrectly could come flying off and hit you with extreme force. The face shield no matter how heavy duty won’t help as it could push you when it bounces off the faceshield
    1
  15173. Hi! Is the vibration at driving or braking?
    1
  15174. Personally I would go originals as they are not really expensive
    1
  15175. Not as much as before honestly
    1
  15176. Hi! Check your hybrid battery fan filter or fan. Then if that’s good then check for an overheating engine
    1
  15177. Hi! I haven’t yet but will in the future
    1
  15178. I’d be careful. Look underneath the car if it’s not rusty you’re good. If it is rusty I’d walk away. These cars are getting old and road salt isn’t kind to them
    1
  15179. Is it a rust belt car?
    1
  15180. I would personally go with a well maintained v6. 4 cylinder is good as well
    1
  15181. Hi! Thank you for watching my channel and the livestream. So on the cabin filters and air filters that are cleanable and reusable. I don’t like them. They are usually a pain to clean which makes most people not clean them well and after all is said and done you are not saving anything and just giving yourself a lot more work. I would avoid them
    1
  15182. Hi! If are overhauling things I would consider replacing control arm bushings or the whole arms and ball joints. I wouldn’t just replace them if they don’t show signs of wear or play.
    1
  15183. If the boot is torn and leaking grease I would replace just the boots if it’s an original axle. When the boot is off you wanna make sure the joint inside is not rusted or out of grease if that’s the case I would consider replacing the axle. Leaving it as is will eventually ruin the joint and require replacement of the axle, this may take a long time but it will eventually happen
    1
  15184. I wouldn’t replace them unless the oil is all the way down the strut and you actually hear noise over bumps. Thank you watching my video!
    1
  15185. Hi! Yes on most toyota models except the trucks
    1
  15186. Hi! It’s possible that is has something to do with the ABS sensors but that one would need to be looked into to find out. Which model is it?
    1
  15187. The wheels. Your Camry has very low profile tires because of the 19” wheels so it’s noisy.
    1
  15188. Many things depending on the model
    1
  15189. It’s very rare for Toyota leaf springs to sag. Usually they break it over loaded but otherwise very tough and well made and last for years without issues.
    1
  15190. Thank you! I agree with so little suspension issues with your corolla I doubt you’ll have to do anything anytime soon!
    1
  15191. Hi! I’d have to look into the difference
    1
  15192. Hi! This is a Toyota strut correct? If it is the seal faces down. It only really almost only goes one way
    1
  15193. The front struts on your Prius would require an alignment after replacing them. The rear shocks don’t require an alignment
    1
  15194. Depends on the model and which struts front and back. Fronts in most models you need an alignment. Rears not always
    1
  15195. So the squeak is likely suspension related. Could be a sway bar bushing for the Lexus not the corolla
    1
  15196. Ok heard that loud and clear thank you for the video. So that noise is the pad slipping on the rotor. Common causes are pad contamination mainly from tire shine, do you use tire shine? If not take the brakes apart and use sand paper to clean the pad especially the edges. Round off the edges of the pads and spray them down with brake cleaner and see if this helps
    1
  15197. Ok I see. I’ll still want to see your video but let me ask you this. When the sound happens from the back does it happen as the car is about to move?
    1
  15198. Yes please
    1
  15199. Any chance you can record it so I can listen?
    1
  15200. Hi! The corolla noise is likely rear drum brakes needing cleaning and lubricating the area where the shoe contact the backing plate which is a common thing with them. The es350 is a mystery as it doesn’t have them. I would try to isolate the noise front or back
    1
  15201. Hi! We’re referring to front coil springs or rear leaf springs?
    1
  15202. Hi! Which year Tacoma
    1
  15203. I’m guessing this is for a corolla. They do add some benefit to the handling but don’t expect a lot of them. While they are designed well and work well I question the value they add considering the price. The rear sway bar will likely do more than the strut bar as most modern Toyota’s already has a strut bar built into the lower cowl cover, though not as strong as a bar but so is the use of the car.
    1
  15204. Hi! Haven’t run across this one before. Do your spring loop at the end touch?
    1
  15205. Ok when you get the strut out of the car, spin the mount and check it for play. If the bearing is good and the rubber in the mount looks intact I wouldn’t worry about it. If the struts were bad and making noise I would consider replacing them as the mounts get beaten up when the strut is really bad.
    1
  15206. warren hidalgo depends on many things. What year is your corolla and are you in the rust belt states?
    1
  15207. Hi! Yes it should
    1
  15208. Unfortunately they don’t have the whole assembly you’d have to buy individual parts
    1
  15209. Glad I could help!
    1
  15210. Hi! There’s no kit or assembly from Toyota. It’s all individual parts that need assembling
    1
  15211. You’re welcome! I’m working on getting diy videos out as I get cars to work on at home.
    1
  15212. I would have to look at parts. Physically the parts will look different but internally and part no. wise they might be different.
    1
  15213. Hi! The larger size tire is the issue here. The lift is not high enough to clear the tires
    1
  15214. Hi! They do have their issues and maintenance is very important with these
    1
  15215. I’m not very fond of quick struts for Toyota’s to be honest. Unless it’s really old and financially doesn’t make sense to buy originals I’d rather live with a bouncy oem strut than a flat horrid quick strut. And some of the cheap quick strut don’t even look the same as the original design wise
    1
  15216. DuCare I hear you on other makes. I guess I’ll go an say it! This is what makes Toyota a Toyota! They’re really well made when it comes to suspension. I’ve seen struts leaking pretty bad yet they don’t bounce or make noise. Typically you’ll get the bounce without the leak with Toyota on old cars I’m talking 15+ years on original struts but even then it’s not a very bad bounce
    1
  15217. Design is the main thing
    1
  15218. Toyota parts deal is one I’ve used and they’re good
    1
  15219. I would search online. You can also buy originals online for cheaper than the dealeship
    1
  15220. Has rear shocks and a separate coil spring.
    1
  15221. Chicago area
    1
  15222. The 97-01 Camry models are one of the best Camry models made. If you can find one with no rust and been taken care of they are very reliable and very well made. I personally had a few that with very little maintenance lasted a very long time with nothing major
    1
  15223. Hi! It’s made by Mobil per Toyota specifications
    1
  15224. Thank you! Glad I could help!
    1
  15225. It’s highly recommended to replace them in pairs
    1
  15226. Mitch .Z knowing Toyota I would but change the fluid soon after you get it.
    1
  15227. Hi! If it’s 2WD tow it with the front wheels off the ground. If it’s AWD all 4 wheels need to be off the ground.
    1
  15228. I personally would. You can get away with one but replacing both is highly recommended
    1
  15229. Unfortunately without testing the car in person I cannot assist any further I would also ask the dealership if they have a similar car to drive and see if it’s the same or different
    1
  15230. My apology I misunderstood. Did you try to drive other similar highlanders to verify that they are different?
    1
  15231. You mentioned that you drove others and it was the same, did I understand this correctly?
    1
  15232. Without in person inspection it’s difficult to be 100% accurate but I’ll suggest a few things. Check your tire pressure first make sure it’s between 32-35 psi. Also were the struts checked for severe leaking? Last how many miles does it have and what size wheel do you have?
    1
  15233. Hi! On the tundra they don’t have inserts unfortunately
    1
  15234. Not really sure about Australia but there are a lot of kits out there that does the same. I would research
    1
  15235. Same as others.
    1
  15236. It’s Toyota AC refresher kit
    1
  15237. The kit should be sold by your local dealership
    1
  15238. Hi! Are you in the us?
    1
  15239. Very true! When it comes to AC if it ain’t broke don’t fix it
    1
  15240. Hi! You can use 75w90 Mobil 1 for all three
    1
  15241. Hi! For the transfer case you can use multi weight GL5
    1
  15242. Yes 30k on front rear differential and transfer case
    1
  15243. Hi! Head over to parts.Toyota.com enter your vin number and search for rubber and you’ll find them
    1
  15244. Hi! Thank you for watching my channel. So at this mileage not much is due maintenance wise. At 60k miles or 6 years I would replace the transmission fluid and spark plugs and that should be it until 100k or 5 years for the engine coolant.
    1
  15245. Hi Jim! I’m good with that! Been using that weight for years and never had any issues
    1
  15246. Hi! I would change it. If it’s an LSD differential use the original fluid from lexus or Toyota if it’s non LSD then 80w90 GL5
    1
  15247. It’s available but through Toyota it’s very expensive
    1
  15248. Hi! You can use 75w85 if you find it. 80w90 is also ok
    1
  15249. Hi! For your tundra unfortunately the original wipers weren’t the kind that had the good inserts. You can go with rainX or Michelin or Bosch. These are the ones that I’ve tried and they seem good.
    1
  15250. Hi! It’s a simple re-torque of the people shafts front and back. To date I haven’t seen one loose at all
    1
  15251. Both will work honestly.
    1
  15252. Thank for watching my videos Bernhard.
    1
  15253. I made a video on how to change the transmission fluid on the sealed Toyota transmissions. Here’s a link https://youtu.be/eRxSu4-4ojo
    1
  15254. I don’t see how over greasing can mess up the transfer case. You grease the fitting until it’s full. Any excess would get thrown around when the shaft spins. Dealerships don’t do this all the time unfortunately. They should though and especially if you ask them.
    1
  15255. It should be done every oil change. If you over grease them they will spit the grease and make a slight mess as the shaft turns.
    1
  15256. Thank you!
    1
  15257. Hi! 80w90 works. A very small sacrifice in gas mileage but nothing large.
    1
  15258. Hi! For torque specs visit techinfo.Toyota.com For brake fluid dot 4 is ok. For the transfer and diffs you can use the LT fluid for all. You’ll loose 0.01 MPG but save a small fortune
    1
  15259. Hi! Yes you can
    1
  15260. My pleasure! I’m glad to help!
    1
  15261. Hi! That is correct. When you change the transmission fluid you also change the front differential fluid because they are one unit.
    1
  15262. Hi! If you have a limited slip differential I recommend you use the original fluid or a compatible amsoil.
    1
  15263. jdinn32 thank you! When I get one to service I’ll film it. In the meantime it’s really simple. Locate the drain and fill plugs. Then take them both out. Install the drain plug then fill through the fill plug until it overflows then close it and you’re done.
    1
  15264. Jimmy Edwards yes the rear differential is 30k miles. The front transfer case fluid can go up to 60k without the fluid getting too dark.
    1
  15265. Depends on the selling dealership some will do all maintenance to their preowned cars some won’t. You can’t do any harm replacing the differential fluid at 49k. I would go ahead and get it done, it shouldn’t be expensive at all.
    1
  15266. I’ll add the video idea to the list thank you
    1
  15267. Most Toyota cabin filters will have an arrow marked up that faces up and sets the direction correct. This is very important on the charcoal filter.
    1
  15268. Hi! For the differential oil no harm in changing it at high mileage
    1
  15269. Thank you!
    1
  15270. Wow that’s incredible! I would walk. Buy them online better
    1
  15271. Yes give or take. The transmission will be closer to 4.5
    1
  15272. Hi Umberto. Thank you for watching my channel! They take around 4-5 quarts for each the differential could take a bit less. Here’s a video with more information https://youtu.be/I1fP-RKsqG0
    1
  15273. In this case I would go aftermarket
    1
  15274. Hi! Yes your car does have a differential because it’s rear wheel drive. You can use GL5 gear oil doesn’t have to be the expensive Toyota one
    1
  15275. Hi! In that specific case you’d want to use GL4
    1
  15276. Yes email me for details.
    1
  15277. It could be the wiper arm bent or loosing tension
    1
  15278. Hi! You can
    1
  15279. Hi! That fluid that you bought will work just fine.
    1
  15280. Thank you for watching my channel and subscribing! Amsoil makes great products. At times they are expensive but they’re high quality and not overpriced. If you are ok with the price I would use their products
    1
  15281. Hi! I wouldn’t. Just use regular gear oil.
    1
  15282. I would consider using rain X on the glass. It makes a huge difference. Also with these wipers you’ll only need to replace the inserts which are cheaper and you’ll likely keep the same wiper body for a long time.
    1
  15283. For the driver's side 85222-0T030 and for the passenger side 85212-28170
    1
  15284. Hi! Royal purple is good. Mobil one valvoline amsoil
    1
  15285. Thank you!
    1
  15286. Why they require that specific weight that usually is hard to find. Don’t know about that but what I do know is we’ve been using the other weight with all Toyota models and didn’t have a single problem.
    1
  15287. Hi! Should be this number 85214-05110
    1
  15288. Hi! No it won’t as long as it’s the correct weight and specifications
    1
  15289. It’s not about any oil. If you want to buy the official fluid from Toyota it is very expensive and not readily available. Using a good synthetic Mobil one gear oil GL5 gives you the same results for a fraction of the cost.
    1
  15290. Here’s my take on this. On paper they are different fluids. In the real world dealerships have used the same fluid in both for many decades and trucks show up with 300-400k+ miles without a single issue with the transfer case not on one car, but on hundreds and thousands of cars. I think the real world wins this one.
    1
  15291. Hi! Honestly the original radiator hoses last a pretty long time when original. I wouldn’t upgrade them as it could end up being a downgrade.
    1
  15292. They are recommend for replacement every 120k milrs
    1
  15293. At the recommended interval which is 120k miles some Toyota’s are 30k 60k even 40k miles. If you’re wondering about your own Toyota let me know the year and model and I’ll let you know what the interval is.
    1
  15294. Thank you for your comment! Yes the Tundra with the 1GR-FE ( and the V6 Tacoma ) is actually another that slipped my mind and does also use the 30K plugs. Wow that's kinda of a rare truck! I hardly see any older tundras anymore let alone a rare V6! Thank you for bringing it up! Thank you for kind words! It means a lot to me that I can help! On your Tundra it's very simple to do the spark plugs, the ones on the passenger side are the easiest, just remove the air filter housing and disconnect the 3 coils and remove the 10mm bolts holding the coils. On the driver's side it's a bit tighter but still easy, you might need a wobble socket with a long extension to get to the actual plugs, also a wobble 10mm with a long extension to get to the bolts that hold the coils in. Also there's a hose that'll be in your way on the driver's side for PCV, remove it and it should be a breeze! Have a wonderful day!
    1
  15295. Some of the fluid gets taken out from the abs but not all.
    1
  15296. Hi! I would replace the fluid in the lines. The fluid in the lines is what you want to replace to protect them
    1
  15297. They can. It’s too new to cause issues. And usually they’ll machine the rotors as well when doing a warranty pad replacement
    1
  15298. Hi! They probably could either clean the pads and apply new grease or just replace them. All brakes don’t squeal unless they get wet.
    1
  15299. Hi! If the belt still makes noise I would check all pulleys for play or movement. If everything looks good replace the belt tensioner
    1
  15300. Hi! What year tundra and which engine?
    1
  15301. Iridium on the 4 cylinder Tacoma
    1
  15302. No 30k ones but some models are switching back to 60k plugs like models equipped with the 2GR-FKS
    1
  15303. With carbon if there’s no issue I wouldn’t worry about it. If the engine is carboning up either an intake decarbonization product or physical removal of the carbon with walnut shells works best. But again if it’s not an issue now I wouldn’t worry about it.
    1
  15304. The occasional loud start I’d need to hear it.
    1
  15305. What year and model is your car?
    1
  15306. That’s a bit confusing I think. I guess my question to you is what’s wrong with the car on your side? Does it drive normal?
    1
  15307. Hi! Ceramic pads are good. If you had no issues with the previous pads I would stay with them
    1
  15308. Hi! You’ll have to find a compatible iridium plug for your engine
    1
  15309. Hi! There’s a minimum thickness spec. Before the rotor is machined it’s measured. If it’s below or very close then replace it
    1
  15310. What’s your budget and what do you need from this suv?
    1
  15311. Not never but they last easily double or triple a normal gasoline car.
    1
  15312. Hi! Every 120k miles or 10 years
    1
  15313. I would love to however I don't have the same experience with Mazda and Kia as I do Toyota. If I can't give you solid good advice that I know from experience I'd rather not give you incomplete or worse wrong information.
    1
  15314. You can but usually they make noise
    1
  15315. Hi! If you can find the correct spec plugs for it then yes
    1
  15316. Hi! Which parts are you referring to?
    1
  15317. I would look into your maintenance guide to verify as this is one car that could be getting the 60k spark plugs. My system is down can’t check at the moment. On your maintenance schedule check the 60,000 mile service for spark plugs. If it doesn’t list it then it’s every 120k
    1
  15318. You can use them on the rears with the car running
    1
  15319. Hi! Use a pressure bleeder at up to 15 psi. Been doing this for years without issues. The strainer in some models twists and comes off some you can’t remove it. If you can’t twist it out then drain some of the fluid out of a bleeder until it gets to min then fill it up with fresh fluid. As long as you don’t go below minimum you should be good.
    1
  15320. Likely not on the knock sensors. Try a fuel induction service
    1
  15321. Hi! I would pull one of the plugs and inspect it. There’s a way to know factory plugs from non factory. I explained it in this video https://youtu.be/IAb9b3Hrea0
    1
  15322. Original or denso
    1
  15323. Hi! I’d be careful with that. You’d need to find the correct spec plug.
    1
  15324. Hi! Dot 4 is ok.
    1
  15325. Hi! I’d have to check on this one my system is down. Some of them switched to 60k instead of 120k I’ll check and get back just reply to this comment
    1
  15326. Hi! Every 120k miles
    1
  15327. The only other way is to see what signal it’s getting when the heater is activated.
    1
  15328. I’d try an original sensor after you’ve verified that the correct sensor was replaced of the 4. Which one did you replace? Bank 1 is the rear bank towards the firewall and sensor 2 is the sensor after the catalytic converter.
    1
  15329. My pleasure! Glad I could help. Have a good day!
    1
  15330. Spark plugs on your Lexus is every 40,000 miles or 48 months. Since it's a Turbo engine the interval is reduced.
    1
  15331. I wouldn’t as that engine was designed to work with platinum plugs
    1
  15332. Hi! They can be resurfaced if they’re within spec. If they are out replace them
    1
  15333. Hi! Typically in this case the shop will pay another tech to do the job and eat the cost.
    1
  15334. Hi! I’m behind on emails. If you sent an email it’s there it will just take me some time to catch up.
    1
  15335. Harder to tell with brake pads without inspecting them in person. Could you upload some pictures of the pads and the packaging and I’ll take a look and see if anything stands out.
    1
  15336. So when you take the wheel off you will see a small rubber plug on the rotor. Take it off and place it on the 6 o’clock position and you’ll see the star wheel to adjust the parking brake
    1
  15337. Hi! I would either replace the rotor or at least get it resurfaced if possible
    1
  15338. I have a video for it
    1
  15339. Denso in my opinion
    1
  15340. Oem parts are recommended for most maintenance but for certain items you can go aftermarket without issues
    1
  15341. With labor that’s normal pricing.
    1
  15342. Hi! Yes they’re the same way. They can be fixed but it takes a very good body shop to get it right
    1
  15343. If you want to upgrade that’s fine but I would keep your 2017 as they are really good cars
    1
  15344. They should’ve looked it up
    1
  15345. It’s possible that the plugs are getting fouled. Pull them out for inspection
    1
  15346. Hi! You can if needed. Under normal driving conditions the original ones are sufficient
    1
  15347. Yes that v8 has iridium plugs at 120k or 10 years
    1
  15348. Hi! You could if you find the correct spec plugs
    1
  15349. Tpms video planned which will explain everything
    1
  15350. Hi! The spark plugs are a bit more involved than a 4 cylinder so that cost is about right. If they’ve never been done before I would replace them. I would go through the fluids like coolant. Also check the car generally for leaks especially power steering. If it all checks out then you’re all set
    1
  15351. 60k miles or 100k kms
    1
  15352. If you’re not doing the work yourself I would take it to a dealership
    1
  15353. Yes the original ones are semi metallic. The dealership also will sell value pads which are ceramic.
    1
  15354. Hi! It’s not that seems like the factory part number
    1
  15355. I believe you can make the windows do that not the sunroof though don’t quote me on this. It would have to be done at the dealership and usually for free. Stop by and ask them to turn this option on with their scanner and they’ll take care of it
    1
  15356. Not the dealership I work at but some will unfortunately
    1
  15357. If you don’t have the SOS button then this doesn’t apply to your car. Sorry but it would need to be diagnosed by a mechanic.
    1
  15358. That could be another issue. Would need to be diagnosed as it’s either the microphone itself or the radio.
    1
  15359. Hi! This doesn’t apply but when you’re making a call there’s an option called transmit volume change that to find a good spot where it sounds better
    1
  15360. 😂 that’s a good one!
    1
  15361. Hi! Yes that seems to be the case here. Further diagnosis is needed in this case
    1
  15362. The RX is different a bit.
    1
  15363. Hi! I have actually seen an aftermarket remote start install cause issues. Before paying the dealership I would have the company that installed the remote start double check their install. Also you’d want to look at the sos button on your overhead console. Does it light green when the car is running? If there’s no green or red light that’s likely the issue here and you’d want the installer to double check all their connections and possibly involve them with the dealership because if it’s a fault of the remote start then that’s on the installer. And if it’s not related to the install then that’s warranty.
    1
  15364. Hi! Not sure if it’ll work I don’t have experience with Nissan.
    1
  15365. The thumb drive shouldn’t be an issue as you are correct, that is a designed feature. But using the USB port to power up devices could cause an issue.
    1
  15366. I’m this case could be a different issue
    1
  15367. The 12v battery
    1
  15368. Try changing the transmit volume when you are in a call
    1
  15369. The speaks possibly not but wouldn’t hurt to try it for the microphone
    1
  15370. It’s possible it’s a faulty fuse. You can check the resistance across it to see if it’s open
    1
  15371. There are times where the issue is not fixed with this procedure which means there’s another problem. Question for you. Does the sos lights come on green? Or stay red or no lights at all
    1
  15372. The issue could be something else at this point. Let me ask you this. When you first start your car does any lights light up around the sos button?
    1
  15373. No issues unhooking the 12v battery on hybrids
    1
  15374. Hi! What model and year?
    1
  15375. Will do once I get one. Same with the new crown
    1
  15376. They’ve decided against the B mode and instead went with the sequential shifter style which is basically B mode with varied levels
    1
  15377. Hi! Yes they are with good maintenance
    1
  15378. Hi! It wouldn’t be a bad idea honestly. Most of them are as simple as Toyota to work on.
    1
  15379. It used to but switched to the Avalon platform
    1
  15380. Acura is made by honda. They’re good cars but in my personal opinion not as comfortable as Lexus but can drive a tad bit better.
    1
  15381. Nx hybrid is good. CT is good after 2014
    1
  15382. It has timing chain
    1
  15383. Honestly everyone will see it differently. I would test drive one and see how you feel about it
    1
  15384. Yes it does.
    1
  15385. They are very good. A bit on the expensive side.
    1
  15386. Hi david! I would personally get a sedan. I’ve always liked sedans over hatchbacks and SUVs
    1
  15387. Hi! Not always. If it’s a good certified inspection then they are a good option to consider but ultimately the cars condition is what determines if it’s the best option or bot
    1
  15388. It’s too new to know but the engine in it is not exactly what I would call new. And that engine family is very reliable
    1
  15389. Hi! That can be the case. Check with your insurance agent to be 100% sure.
    1
  15390. It is still the same. The land cruiser is still being made in other markets. And the new LX is a Lexus version of that one
    1
  15391. Hi! Very hard to pick. I would go with what fits your budget honestly
    1
  15392. They’re very nice! But also very expensive
    1
  15393. Hi! Other than an optional oil change nothing else
    1
  15394. Hi! It does happen. A very small spark as electrical components come alive.
    1
  15395. Video planned for that in the near future. Typically they are good. Most lease owners take care of the cars as they have to return and could get penalties if they are not in decent shape
    1
  15396. Different tuning
    1
  15397. They are great trucks honestly. They remain unchanged for so long that even the little issues they have are taken care of
    1
  15398. Hi! What’s wrong with it? At least symptoms?
    1
  15399. Usually similar
    1
  15400. Hi! It’s a good car based on a good platform and a good drivetrain.
    1
  15401. Hi! It’s a very interesting twist bringing back a V8 after we assumed we won’t see new models with a v8! And an ancient V8 too! Not a modern one
    1
  15402. Thank you for your comment. Lexus sells more in a single model that the whole sales of Jaguar for a single year. Not my words but those of actual sales figures. Lexus owners typically keep their cars longer because they last. Jaguar owners typically don’t keep them long because they simply fall apart too early and their owners know better, hence why they don’t keep them. Have a nice day.
    1
  15403. Try cleaning the mass air flow and see if it changes the readings
    1
  15404. It’s much better. Drive it for a few days and see if it drops further
    1
  15405. Hi! That is normal with cold weather and leather seats. Are you utilizing the seat heaters and setting your climate control to auto?
    1
  15406. It used to be until 2013 then it’s Avalon based. Easiest way to tell is the wheelbase for consumers. From the service side just by looking at the frame and construction of the csr
    1
  15407. Hi! Honestly while it seems that the 2015 ES did have some changes structurally there’s no definitive text to confirm that those changes were made for the small overlap improvement. I just don’t want to give you information based on an assumption and not 100% fact when it comes to safety
    1
  15408. You’ll need to dig into this further. Is the pump coming on? Also you’ll need a scan tool capable of bidirectional control to remove the pump and active test it to see if it’s not spinning right
    1
  15409. Hi! Too early to tell at this point. I would for sure wait a little bit at least a few months
    1
  15410. Hi! I would ask you one question. Are you happy with your current Lexus? If you are I would look into the same model unless you want to downsize or change.
    1
  15411. Hi! Email me with the subject Chicago service request
    1
  15412. Their hybrids always were excellent perhaps minus one model but the newer ones are very good.
    1
  15413. Hi! If you dig deeper into the engine designation and tuning and actually get the engine out of the car and remove the fluff attached to it they are basically the same original design with different iterations. And that’s not a bad thing, it’s actually good.
    1
  15414. Hi! Somewhat similar. Perhaps a little bit better
    1
  15415. Visit the dealership. They might want to reset the learned values and see if things get betyer
    1
  15416. Hi! Is the climate control on when it fluctuates?
    1
  15417. Hi! They’re not as common as some say. Keeping up the maintenance especially the fluid is key
    1
  15418. Hi! It will need to be inspected to see how it’s doing. I don’t currently have a video on it
    1
  15419. The LS will still be a higher trim car than the GS but the GS does pretty well and comes close
    1
  15420. Indirectly the 4runner. They share more than most would believe.
    1
  15421. Hi! I personally wouldn’t add one as that engine has an oil separator which does the same.
    1
  15422. Hi! It’s the same for your highlander with the 1AR and the other end of the hose connects to the top of the intake manifold very easy to access under the hood
    1
  15423. Hi! Yes it’ll work. A bit tighter but still doable
    1
  15424. Hi! Email with the subject Chicago service request
    1
  15425. I wouldn’t use Teflon tape
    1
  15426. Hi! The only reason is that they moved the oil separator from the valve cover to the back of the block
    1
  15427. Hi! Along side the spark plugs at 120k
    1
  15428. Hi! With your spark plugs at 120k miles
    1
  15429. Hi! Different on your corolla. You’ll want to remove the intake manifold which is not difficult at all.
    1
  15430. Hi! It’s the same engine
    1
  15431. Hi! Not all. The older ones don’t depends on the model
    1
  15432. Hi! No. On the 2009 corolla just remove the intake which is much easier than this one
    1
  15433. Hi! I think it could be either the gasket between the exhaust manifold and the pipe or the front pipe by the catalytic converter is corroded if you live in the rust belt
    1
  15434. Unfortunately no you’ll need to pull the intake back which is very easy and simple on that one
    1
  15435. Hi! You don’t need to drain the oil and I’m in the Chicago area
    1
  15436. Preventative
    1
  15437. Likely harder for port injectors as intakes are usually not a straight forward
    1
  15438. Hi! This could be normal. Is it excessive pressure or a slight pressure?
    1
  15439. Hi! https://amzn.to/3K6xqbs
    1
  15440. Hi! When you replace the spark plugs at 120k consider replacing it as wwll
    1
  15441. With the spark plugs
    1
  15442. Hi! You won’t get stranded if the hybrid battery fails as the car will still run. Not an easy option or worthy option to replace it with a lithium ion
    1
  15443. Yes on that engine you need to which is actually easy to remove
    1
  15444. Every 120k with the spark plugs
    1
  15445. Hi! With the spark plugs at either 120k or 60k depending on the model
    1
  15446. Hi! It’s all for design and cost purposes
    1
  15447. Hi! Email me at thecarcarenut@gmail.com with the subject Chicago service request
    1
  15448. Hi! Yes it works on trucks. It’s rated to 7000 lbs
    1
  15449. Hi! It would be but still you won’t be able to see it
    1
  15450. To vent the crankcase pressure that’s created by the piston down motion
    1
  15451. Hi! Not for the sensors as these set codes when they are issues
    1
  15452. Hi! It’s not an absolute requirement to replace it but is good practice when you replace the plugs. You want to prevent issues should it ever get clogged
    1
  15453. Hi! No it’s nit the same. On that engine you need to remove the intake
    1
  15454. That’s a quick jack lift
    1
  15455. Every spark plug replacement
    1
  15456. With spark plugs. Some models 120k some 60k
    1
  15457. I hear you. You’ve got a good car. 4runners are awesome and reliable. They have a few quirks here and there but overall a very good truck and not many similar trucks come even close to its reliability
    1
  15458. Hi! I would use leds from a reputable company that either come with a resistor for turn signals or has a plug and play add on. A good led system would not need you to modify the existing wiring in the car. Good companies I’ve used and highly recommend is vleds.com they are expensive but very good.
    1
  15459. I’d say it’s overkill. The plastic housing lasts the life of the car if it’s not overtightened
    1
  15460. It is expensive! But it’ll be the last tool box I buy
    1
  15461. If you’ve seen enough oem parts and gotten used to the quality you’ll immediately caught the counterfeit
    1
  15462. I think rock auto is good. Haven’t had issues with their parts being counterfeit
    1
  15463. I’d say so. Likely a big store like Walmart is not going to sell counterfeit parts
    1
  15464. Good observation. Honestly I don’t have an answer for this one. I’ll look into it.
    1
  15465. Hi! It’s ok but I personally don’t like the K&N washable filters as they are hard to maintain and don’t really seem to do much.
    1
  15466. Hi. It’s highly unlikely that a dealership would risk selling counterfeit because they could loose their franchise deal with Toyota if they do.
    1
  15467. Hi! It likely needs an oil control valve to start
    1
  15468. Hi! Factory parts are used on all Toyota production cars regardless of location of build. Oil filters is one that you can’t buy the same factory filter from dealerships. Other filters and parts you can but of course they’re a lot more expensive and not always worth it
    1
  15469. Report them if you are 100% positive
    1
  15470. Hi! Dealerships rarely if ever will sell non original parts labeled as original in an original box
    1
  15471. Hi! There shouldn’t be an issue servicing your lexus at a Toyota dealership. Just recalls and warranty repair can’t be done at a Toyota dealership everything else it can he
    1
  15472. That is normal and correct actually. The A5s will show a different number on the pleats. But the A6 will not have the plastic piece and the extra o ring
    1
  15473. I couldn’t find a counterfeit in time for this video. You’re welcome to link to pictures or a listing that you’re wondering about and I’ll take a look and give you feedback.
    1
  15474. Thank you!
    1
  15475. Interesting. Where is that?
    1
  15476. Hard to tell like this. The drain plug gasket should be blue and the filter your best bet is to buy a new one from the dealership and compare it
    1
  15477. Amen! Thank you! May the lord bless you and keep you.
    1
  15478. Hi! The hologram sticker missing is a problem. If in doubt return it and buy an original one from the dealership. The chemical smell is there with the original filters too.
    1
  15479. You can easily google their name and see if they are a legit dealership or just a fake name
    1
  15480. Look familiar? 😉
    1
  15481. The trd ones bought through the dealership are genuine
    1
  15482. True but if you’ve bought original parts in the past and know the quality you’ll immediately be able to tell a counterfeit
    1
  15483. Thank you for your comment. Inspecting material quality for most consumers will be harder to do at home. If counterfeit parts up their game with fonts and printing their costs would go up as well. I have yet to see a “high quality” print on a counterfeit part
    1
  15484. They likely are original from walmart
    1
  15485. They’re likely legit. Highly doubt a major retailer like Walmart would sell counterfeit parts
    1
  15486. I haven’t seen any fake WS fluid but wouldn’t be suprised
    1
  15487. Hi! Hard to tell on coils. Some are made China some made elsewhere. If that’s an official website from denso it should be good
    1
  15488. Hi! I would consider doing the maintenance by time instead of mileage and read your maintenance guide on special operating conditions and follow them if it applies
    1
  15489. Yes that’s a good source for original filters
    1
  15490. Try toyotapartsdeal.com
    1
  15491. That change with the F2 to N1 filter is still new and no information is out why it’s smaller yet
    1
  15492. Hi! Parts.Toyota.com
    1
  15493. I suppose that was a typo. N1 instead of M1 correct?
    1
  15494. Hi! I would replace it every 100k kilometers. You’re over that but still in time to replace it without issues. I would use Toyota fluid if you’re gonna replace the fluid.
    1
  15495. Hi! Email me for information
    1
  15496. Hi! Not much have changed with the RAV4 hybrid Awd system than previous Awd hybrids.
    1
  15497. Hi! They seem new to the market. I’ve only seen them on Amazon
    1
  15498. Hi! Honestly I don’t see the benefit of the trd filter. I would use an original filter and Prioritize frequency of oil changes instead
    1
  15499. Very limited parts can be bought original outside the dealership network. Like some Walmart stores sell oil filters.
    1
  15500. I would have to check honestly.
    1
  15501. Hi! If you’re buying from the dealership it’s not a counterfeit.
    1
  15502. Denso is not always made in Japan.
    1
  15503. Just for clarification many parts made by Toyota are made in Japan. But my reference in the video was parts that say made in Japan that are counterfeit when the similar original part is not. If you bought your thermostat from a dealership you’re good.
    1
  15504. Hi! That’s actually one that many complained about and I know what you’re feeling. It’s normal but annoying. It shifts into such a low gear and I wish the transmission would down shift at that point.
    1
  15505. Hard to tell in video and pictures but just holding the counterfeit and original you are able to tell the difference
    1
  15506. I would rather you leave the original belt than install counterfeit parts.
    1
  15507. Hi! The cable is the kick down cable is forces the transmissions to down shift. Those were the older days where electronic throttle was basic
    1
  15508. Hi! No it was just a different supplier. They’re the same filter inside. Commonly used and is good. Don’t worry. If you are just return it and get a D1
    1
  15509. If the car is not misfiring at this point, damage is not likely but I would get them out and replace them with originals.
    1
  15510. Hi! Parts.Lexus.com
    1
  15511. They do, but they also hold these manufacturers to their standards. They’ll test the supplied part to make sure it meets Toyota standards before putting that part on their cars
    1
  15512. Autozone doesn’t sell counterfeits. Maybe they sell horrible quality parts sometimes but they are just selling the part, the quality falls on the manufacturer of that part which clearly indicate their name on the filter box.
    1
  15513. Hi! I haven’t seen counterfeit fluid yet but I wouldn’t be surprised. I would buy that from the dealership.
    1
  15514. Hi! They are original parts at walmart
    1
  15515. Likely they’re not counterfeit. And they are not original Toyota parts, are they?
    1
  15516. They shouldn’t without saying beforehand. If they do and you catch them report it
    1
  15517. That’s correct. You can see it in the video of the closeup I tried to show that
    1
  15518. That’s scary! Counterfeit aircraft parts! God help us all
    1
  15519. Likely it does with all major car brands parts
    1
  15520. If they are iridium plugs they’re likely fake for that price if that’s the price for 4 of them.
    1
  15521. It could be the case. That’s too cold for any car honestly. See if it improves when the weather is a bit warmer.
    1
  15522. Possibly an issue. Perhaps some bleeding is in order?
    1
  15523. Honestly it’s very hard to show in video or picture format. Best way is to see the box in person and compare it to an original printed one. You’ll immediately tell the difference. The best thing would be not to buy original parts from an unknown source.
    1
  15524. I don’t know of counterfeit Toyota fluids yet.
    1
  15525. Hi! You shouldn’t adjust gaps on iridium plugs as that damages the tip. If you buy a plug that has an incorrect gap you’d want to return as a defective one
    1
  15526. Hi! I don’t have part numbers but can be found on parts.Toyota.com using your vin number
    1
  15527. Hi! I am not sure about shipping to other countries
    1
  15528. Yes that’s a good site
    1
  15529. Much harder to tell with non maintenance parts. I’d need to see it to know
    1
  15530. 😂
    1
  15531. Hi! There’s a few types of coolants but the pink one is the most common from 2003 all the way to now on core Toyota models. If your car is a highlander or klueger likely you have pink unless it’s older than 2003
    1
  15532. Find it on parts.Toyota.com using your vin number
    1
  15533. Unknown sellers who are not dealerships. Also parts that are priced at 90% below MSRP is a definite red flag. Compare prices with parts.Toyota.com
    1
  15534. Hi! So the counterfeits can be found online not at dealerships of course. You can also find originals at the same sites where you find counterfeit so be careful. Best is to buy direct from the dealership or dealerships that sell online at a discount price
    1
  15535. They will get their franchise license revoked and thrown on the street by Toyota. If you know one that does that and you have real proof please report them.
    1
  15536. They’re ok. Personally I prefer original oil filters
    1
  15537. As Scott mentioned as long as meets the requirements it’s good. Liquimoly is a good oil brand.
    1
  15538. Hi! If you are lifting the car from the pinchweld you’re good. On some corolla there’s a raised part where the fender bolts to the pinchweld try to avoid lifting it from there and you should be good otherwise
    1
  15539. They don’t. The filter in Walmart seem genuine
    1
  15540. The ones in Walmart seem original from what I’ve seen.
    1
  15541. Hi! Could you elaborate further on full flow filters?
    1
  15542. Hi! I am not aware of any but I wouldn’t be surprised
    1
  15543. Which year?
    1
  15544. Hi! It’s highly unlikely but if you did you need to report it to Toyota
    1
  15545. Yeah that’s discontinued. Use the N1 filter
    1
  15546. Which filter number was it
    1
  15547. That tube likely will last a long time. They should also sell a small packet for one brake job. See this video for more information https://youtu.be/t7W7uLYeLKo
    1
  15548. Honestly nothing simple that would take care of the noise. The vibration could be other things not related. Like tire/wheel issues
    1
  15549. Hi! For fluids I would buy them dealership direct honestly
    1
  15550. The new filter is slightly smaller but doubt it would make an issue as they are interchangeable
    1
  15551. Not really sure. I’m sure they’re aware of it
    1
  15552. Hi! If you’re buying it from a Toyota dealership they’re not counterfeit. And actually that sounds about the right price which makes me always wonder why people buy originals elsewhere unless there’s no dealer close by.
    1
  15553. We have them in stock at the dealership where I work? They’re basically a few sizes that all Toyota models use. I would call around dealerships to see who sells them still. They have to buy a whole pack and open it and sell individually that’s why some dealerships don’t want to deal with that and rather make more profit selling you the terrible sight line
    1
  15554. That is very scary. My heart goes to everyone affected by the shameful act of counterfeiting
    1
  15555. Toyota cares but they can’t chase every online retailer. They’ll care a lot and be all over it if you bought that questionable part from one of their dealers
    1
  15556. You’re welcome! Always shop around everywhere! Try parts.Toyota.com which would link you to your local dealership and usually you’d get a discount
    1
  15557. Toyota ATF WS
    1
  15558. Some of the newer models are changing to 60k miles (100k kms)
    1
  15559. Fuel filters in most newer Toyota’s are not serviceable. If you let me know your model and year I’ll let you know if it has a serviceable filter or not.
    1
  15560. Hi! I have not run across it but wouldn’t be surprised. Best way is to buy it from the dealership and you won’t have any doubts
    1
  15561. Hi’ Toyota typically doesn’t disclose their suppliers but if you look at the parts sometimes they will have the supplier name on the part
    1
  15562. Hi! Likely the same thing. Be careful with counterfeit parts
    1
  15563. Hi! This will need some diagnosis to see what’s going on
    1
  15564. Hi! Just make sure they run good. That engine in those years didn’t take overheating very well.
    1
  15565. Hi! You should have the 2ZR-FXE
    1
  15566. Honestly this exact subject would be a follow up video to this. How to find good mechanics. It’s very hard to tell and know without trial and error. Mechanics typically leave a trail of their work quality. Dealerships are expensive for the customer but if they don’t deliver quality it’s all for nothing. Being almost friends with the service advisor and asking him for a good mechanic to work on your car helps. Also eventually getting to know the mechanic once they’ve worked on your car a few times helps a lot. You’ll be able to tell immediately what kind of person they are if you know them and they know you.
    1
  15567. Independent shops charge the same labor? As it all comes from a standard labor guide. Independent shops do have a lower labor rate but not that much lower. Usually independents drop their price because they use aftermarket parts which are considerably cheaper than originals.
    1
  15568. Congratulations on your retirement! I just hope they listen and not turn sour. Best wishes to you sir.
    1
  15569. Hi! You can find an auto class at a local college or one of the automotive institutions like UTI wyotech… etc. education on cars helps if you plan to become a diagnostician one day. Otherwise start from the bottom, gain experience and work your way up. Tough career to start
    1
  15570. Hi! It only applies to the remote start.
    1
  15571. Give it a few minutes and you’re good to go
    1
  15572. Hi! Does it have a remote integrated into the key?
    1
  15573. Hi! I don’t put bulk oil in my cars. I don’t put bulk oil in my customers cars. What’s good for me is what I recommend to my customers regardless of profits.
    1
  15574. The Car Care Nut 😉
    1
  15575. Hi! I will be the one working on all cars.
    1
  15576. That’s a great suggestion! We were thinking of the walls but the doors will work
    1
  15577. Hi! At the moment we don’t have loaner cars
    1
  15578. Call or submit the request through the website and we’ll be in touch. We can definitely take care of that for you
    1
  15579. Hi! We will occasionally work on non toyota models if it’s not something major
    1
  15580. Bring it over Mike! We’ll see you in the shop
    1
  15581. That was the conversation with the customer. Can you fix this fuse block? Yes, is it a good idea on a brand new truck when the part is readily available? No. Some have commented that perhaps fixing it and saving the customer some money would’ve been better. My answer to that is that this truck is under warranty. If any issues stem from the repair it would void their warranty and I would be liable for that. Not worth it. And I gave the old fuse block to the customer to keep some spare fuses. I have plenty of spare fuses from previous jobs that the owners did not want the spare fuses.
    1
  15582. With all respect and love. 30% repair success rate is not good for auto shops. 100% is better. And should there be any issues in the future from this repair, this truck is under warranty and it would affect its warranty if the repair was there.
    1
  15583. Thank you for watching my video. The black sticker will show the month and year of manufacturing.
    1
  15584. Hi! Thank you for watching my channel! So you can easily swap led or HID low and high beams. On the high beams you will have issues with flickering when the DRL is on however you can just disable it.
    1
  15585. The engine in the 2020 is the same as the 2017-2019 designated 2GR-FKS

  15586. Hi! I would get it checked as it’s possible it’s a faulty water pump. It is covered by powertrain warranty
    1
  15587. So 2018 models made in late 2017
    1
  15588. Hi! So I have another video for the 2008-2013. Find it here https://youtu.be/1djDSR2vwdI
    1
  15589. Hi! Delete your phone from the radio and reset the radio and see if this helps
    1
  15590. Hi Jay. Providing an exact price is difficult as prices will vary greatly by area, parts used and dealership vs independent.
    1
  15591. If you get the recall done it’s not longer a problem for the life of the car
    1
  15592. Hi! Yes it’s completely different
    1
  15593. I hear you on the transmission. Nothing to worry about it just shifts in a different way than previous ones. Too many gears to shuffle through if you would.
    1
  15594. I don’t know anybody. I thought @ericthecarguy was a honda technician.
    1
  15595. If it’s fixed right it shouldn’t leak for a while
    1
  15596. Hi! Upper left or right corner of the vin sticker on the door jamb it will tell you month and year
    1
  15597. Agreed! I really like the quality of this model highlander
    1
  15598. Hi! That should be late 2018
    1
  15599. Hi! To remove the transfer case from the car you will need to remove the transmission and transfer case first as a unit. You will need to drain both the transmission and transfer case
    1
  15600. TheToddman214 that is very true. The hybrid transmission on your highlander hybrid and for all Toyota hybrids is completely different than a non hybrid Toyota. The hybrid transmissions are solid and have no known issues.
    1
  15601. So the axle that was replaced was an original axle installed?
    1
  15602. Hi! Likely this is a tire/wheel issue. I would start with balancing the ties and go from there.
    1
  15603. Thank you for watching my videos! The 2021 highlander should have the leak issues resolved. I personally haven’t seen one leak yet.
    1
  15604. If you don’t drive in snow I would go Fwd
    1
  15605. Hi! If it’s not leaking at this age and mileage likely it’s good. I would negotiate the price and make sure you check the car well.
    1
  15606. https://youtu.be/WNo-VXJSg7s
    1
  15607. Hi! Some of the issues are similar. Here’s a video for the sienna https://youtu.be/BSI_iA6I4_4
    1
  15608. Yes it operates the same as a Prius.
    1
  15609. I wouldn’t worry about it if you have no issues. Unfortunately they won’t cover it if there’s no issue because it could be that 20 years before there are any issues.
    1
  15610. Hi. The oil leaks are covered under the powertrain warranty
    1
  15611. Unfortunately I do not have this information. I would shop around if you’re just getting a trailer hitch because the original is pricey
    1
  15612. Hi! Here’s a video similar to this one for the 2012 highlander https://youtu.be/1djDSR2vwdI
    1
  15613. E. Reyes that’s one of their somewhat common issues but not as common as you’d think
    1
  15614. Absoloutly! The 2010-2020 Toyota 4Runner buying guide common problems video is planned and will be out in few weeks
    1
  15615. Hi! This is a mystery so far. It is normal and not leaking but most of them has that greasy film on them. Possibly something with manufacturing.
    1
  15616. They are both solid in these years. The highlander has the reliability advantage simply because of the slight less equipment but the sienna has the advantage of size
    1
  15617. Hi Chris! Overall reliability the highlander has a slight edge. Simply because it doesn’t have sliding doors and the suspension seems to hold better on highlanders than siennas. The sienna has the advantage over the highlander is overall functionality being a van it seats people more comfortably and is larger. What years are you looking at? Or looking at new ones?
    1
  15618. E M sounds good! They are in my list! A few more buying guides for other models will come out first then the tundra then Tacoma.
    1
  15619. E M thank you for your suggestion! Any truck in specific?
    1
  15620. I can’t comment on the pilot as I have no experience with them. The highlander is a good buy if you’re buying it from a good source and it’s in good condition.
    1
  15621. Not all but some of the issues.
    1
  15622. Hi! Most of them so far yes have been dealt with
    1
  15623. Not officially through the dealership
    1
  15624. Thank you! God bless you and your family!
    1
  15625. Hello Thienan. Don’t worry. Toyota has a very generous day warranty extension on that year highlander for the transmission. I would ask the dealership for details on the warranty extension so you’d know how long you’re covered for issues. If you don’t have issues at this mileage likely you won’t but in case you just know that you are covered with Toyota.
    1
  15626. It’s under the second row seat not the very back
    1
  15627. The battery is inside the cabin on your highlander. It’s not advisable to expose it without the seats.
    1
  15628. Hi! Have your mechanic do a leak down test
    1
  15629. Hi! Likely good at this point
    1
  15630. Hi! I would ask the dealership to reset the memory and see if things improve. As for the whine some of them do make a faint whine not to be mistaken with the problem whine which is super loud
    1
  15631. Jen Ardiel I think you’re making a good choice. Buying a high mileage hybrid sight unseen is not recommended. Best of luck to you on your next car hunt.
    1
  15632. Jen Ardiel hi Jennifer! I do not have prices for the back door motors handy but it’s possible that they are 400 each and only one has failed. I’m not too concerned about the back door. More concerned with the higher mileage and the high voltage battery. Any service history? I would inspect the vents underneath the back seat and see if they’re dirty or clean. If they’re dirty that’s a sign they were never maintained right and at that point I would save yourself a headache and walk away. I have personally seen hybrid battery last 400-500kms with proper maintenance and care. However I would do your due diligence in the inspection to make sure this one is not neglected. The gas mileage savings on the highlander hybrid is typically not huge like some other hybrid models. The hybrid model is generally good if maintained properly.
    1
  15633. Hi! I’m in the Chicago area.
    1
  15634. Hi! No fittings to grease on your highlander hybrid
    1
  15635. Hi! Where the oil leaking from?
    1
  15636. They’re less but still possible.
    1
  15637. Jimmy Edwards Toyota is pretty secretive about their information. However what we have been able to gather is possible oil contamination at assembly due to the patterns we see when a leaking cover is removed. The sealer Toyota uses is excellent and possibly better than many other manufacturers however the prep to seal is very important even the slightest hint of oil will make the seal fail and cause leaks.
    1
  15638. It has a timing chain which usually lasts the life of the car. They are reliable with good maintenance and care.here’s a video with more information on the 2012 highlander https://youtu.be/1djDSR2vwdI
    1
  15639. Hi Chris! Absolutely! The 2008-2013 buying guide is in the planning stages and will be coming up in the next few weeks.
    1
  15640. Thank you! Glad to help
    1
  15641. They’re generally good. The oil leak from the engine is also common on those years. Also make sure you drive it and that it drives smooth they are also common for rear wheel bearings to go bad
    1
  15642. Hi! Honestly they did it for mileage and it shows. The last v6 hybrid highlander is the 2019 model
    1
  15643. I would replace the transmission fluid every 60k or 6 years. I would also use OEM Toyota WS fluid shop around for best prices. Coolant every 5 years or 50k after the first replacement. I have a full series on all Toyota fluids and maintenance. Find it here https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeFzfl0Q8rQVtXIaJSF7EtirvTRhSbsrV
    1
  15644. It would be a good idea to change it. Unlike conventional automatic transmissions you can’t cause harm by changing it late or at high mileage.
    1
  15645. Send me an email with the subject CHICAGO SERVICE REQUEST and we’ll set up an appointment
    1
  15646. I’ll need to hear the knocking record a video and upload it to YouTube and share the link
    1
  15647. Hi! Could be as simple as a heat shield or a misfire. Is it a very loud rattling or comes and goes?
    1
  15648. Yes they are the same
    1
  15649. Later production
    1
  15650. Hi! I would go with the 2016.
    1
  15651. Khoi 22 thank you! The issues with the 8 speed has been calming down lately. There’s a warranty extension on them which I recommend you inquire about with a dealership before buying the car. Normally the 8 speed drives strange and some people will not like it. If you’re buying one I would make sure you pay attention to how it shifts normally. If you’re good with it and the dealership told you it has the warranty extension then I would go for it. Otherwise stick with the 2016 which has a truly bulletproof and problem free transmission.
    1
  15652. Hi! Thank you for watching my channel! You can get the official manual from techinfo.Toyota.com
    1
  15653. Honestly all models could have this issue. For some reason some of them are more prone to it than others.
    1
  15654. Hi! Do you mean the temp gauge?
    1
  15655. Hi! Prices will vary greatly by area. Best to look up values on kbb.com for your area
    1
  15656. Hi! I don’t see many issues with the 2015s
    1
  15657. Hi Bobby! That’s the direct injection running. The fuel pump and the injectors are loud on your car which is normal and nothing to worry about.
    1
  15658. I think that’s a good price for a very good car. Keep up the maintenance and you should have no issues. If I were you I would wait a bit then take it into the dealership but don’t have high hopes for the radio. The entune in those years is always wonky.
    1
  15659. Hi! Thank you for watching my video! The 2020+ highlander has been doing good so far but it’s also very new. I haven’t seen oil leaks on those yet.
    1
  15660. Thank you for the awesome tip my brother!
    1
  15661. Hi Eric. Honestly both models are good. The 8 speed is odd in the 2019 and the 6 speed transmission is much better driving wise in the 2016. It depends on the condition of the cars and the price ranges you’re looking at
    1
  15662. Hi! Your best bet is to find a pattern of the issue. Does it happen cold hot rain shine certain road or certain order of events so they can duplicate it. If it’s possible to film it, do it and show them
    1
  15663. Hi! There’s a criteria for leaks but leaks are leaks and most are covered by warranty
    1
  15664. Not as common as other models on the Venza but still possible and I would check it
    1
  15665. Hi! Some models are better than others.
    1
  15666. The 4 cylinder in the 2020+ hybrid highlander is a completely different engine than the one in the previous generation non hybrid 4 cylinder
    1
  15667. Hi! The hybrids are affected but at a much lesser scale than the gasoline models. I think the 2019 highlander hybrid is a very good hybrid however the 2021 gets much better gas mileage and overall a big improvement however the price difference might not justify it. I would drive both and see if the price difference is something you see and feel or not and decide.
    1
  15668. Hi! If they’ve been fixed and no longer leaking you should be good
    1
  15669. Hi! The early 2018s are made in late 2017 thank you for watching my channel
    1
  15670. You got it! It’s on the list! Thank you for your video suggestion!
    1
  15671. Hi! This one should be good but best way to be sure is ask your dealership. They can check it with the vin no to verify. Because if doesn’t have the fix from the factory then it would have a warranty extension should you ever have issues in the future
    1
  15672. That’s more of a reset initialization after you replace the battery which should happen every time you replace the battery unless a memory saver is used which most dealership should use.
    1
  15673. I think it’s a good change. I always felt that highlander hybrids could do better on gas mileage. And now with the current drivetrain it does.
    1
  15674. Honestly I really like the 20 and 21 models. Usually the first year of a new model has one small issues but the 2020 highlander didn’t have anything till now. If their price is within your budget I’d go for them.
    1
  15675. For highlanders go with 15-16 for reliability and 2018-2019 for technology
    1
  15676. Hi Steve and thank you for subscribing. I don’t have too much information on Subaru because the only Subaru I work on is the Toyota 86 and it hasn’t been a positive experience honestly. But doesn’t mean subarus are not good. The highlander is a great suv if you buy a good one. They’re easy to find now in good shape as there’s a lot of them coming off lease now.
    1
  15677. Likely the seal got damaged when the axle was removed or installed
    1
  15678. They wanted to wait for a body style change
    1
  15679. Sounds good. I was actually surprised because the axles on the highlander are solid and not known for issues and especially if they’re not leaking
    1
  15680. Thank you! Regarding CV joints there's nothing chronic with your highlander that I know of. Are the boots leaking? Accidents that impacted the wheels? If the source of the clicking is the CV joint then it will need to be replaced depending on the severity of the click.
    1
  15681. Hi! This is a trending issue right now with the thermostats failing. No word on updated parts yet
    1
  15682. Hi! There’s a seal between the transfer case and the transmission that is likely the issue here. This seal keeps transmission fluid out of the transfer case
    1
  15683. Hi! Contact your local dealership with the vin number and ask for extended coverage so you’d know.
    1
  15684. Thank you! I’m glad I could help!
    1
  15685. I wouldn’t sell it just for that. Likely you won’t have issues with them again
    1
  15686. I’ve seen a few scattered catalytic converters go out. Best reason could be a manufacturing issue. This was covered under warranty correct?
    1
  15687. Hi! Is this a hybrid?
    1
  15688. Yes it can be done.
    1
  15689. Hi! They are both good the 2020 is TNGA so it drives a bit smoother
    1
  15690. Hi! Batteries usually are all made by the same company and has different stickers. Find one with a good price and good warranty
    1
  15691. Hi! You can’t go wrong with a RAV4 Venza hybrid or a highlander
    1
  15692. I cannot give you an exact estimate due to variation in labor rate. Parts and mainly a few gaskets likely around 100 dollars labor is anywhere from 14-18 hours typical labor rate is 120-160 per hour depends on your area. Chicago area labor rate is around 140 per hour
    1
  15693. Depends on the options you want. The xle is a very good trim for the price
    1
  15694. Try to adjust the transmit volume. This option will show with the car stopped and you are making a hands free phone call. Maybe have a family member help by receiving the call and give you their opinion while you adjust it to find a good spot where it sounds good on the other end.
    1
  15695. Hi! Honestly that’s a bit of high mileage for that price. I would rather pay a bit more for less mileage
    1
  15696. Hi! You might want to clean the sun roof drains first
    1
  15697. That’s the problem. There’s no logical explanation to it. The best I can think of is the seal wearing off and causing the glass to be loose when it’s in the closed position
    1
  15698. Hi! The water leaks could be normal because of the extreme high pressure. Are your drains clogged?
    1
  15699. Try to open it and see if it goes away
    1
  15700. Hi! Unfortunately this one will need to be removed and inspected as the cables might be seized
    1
  15701. Hi! Then it’s not then seal and Likely either the structure or the roof folds
    1
  15702. You can do it without a trans pan drop. You can lower the sub frame. If I get one I’ll film it
    1
  15703. I haven’t seen many later ones do this. Seems more common on the early ones
    1
  15704. Not really. It’s under $100 and if you shop around you’ll get it for a lot less
    1
  15705. Hi! On some models that is the case unfortunately.
    1
  15706. Hi! Not my area of expertise but I have some friends who are let me ask around for you. Do ask about this during the week again in a comment
    1
  15707. Good morning!
    1
  15708. Hi! You can replace it with a standard wire
    1
  15709. Hi! See if the noise goes away when you tilt the glass up
    1
  15710. Not a specific brand as they all seem to be the same. Find one at your local parts store their brand store should do it
    1
  15711. Hi! I would head over to parts.Lexus.com and use your vin number
    1
  15712. Hi! You’ll want to install the wheel without the center cap and the cap on the hub and let the car down then torque it down. Or install the brakes and have another person step on the brakes to hold it from spinning
    1
  15713. You could but I would still align it to make sure it’s good
    1
  15714. Hi! That is not normal honestly. Has the car been in a front accident or the front bumper removed? It might need a radar sensor adjustment
    1
  15715. Hi! I am in the Chicago area
    1
  15716. Hi! If you don’t have mysterious coolant loss you’re good and have nothing to worry about.
    1
  15717. Hi. Please ask your questions here
    1
  15718. Hi! Every 60k or 6 years
    1
  15719. Hi! You can do either. If it’s cold it should be a bit less than full. When fully warmed up it should be full.
    1
  15720. For the right price
    1
  15721. Yes! https://youtu.be/I1fP-RKsqG0
    1
  15722. That’s too thick of oil. 10w30 is a lot better
    1
  15723. Hi! Usually that sound is air in the system. If it’s still under warranty the dealership can try to bleed the brakes and see if it’s taken care of
    1
  15724. Hi! Yes email me with the subject Chicago service request
    1
  15725. Hi! These are good cars to own. They’re very reliable and fun to drive.
    1
  15726. Hi! Is it the boot that’s wet or something from the engine leaking on it? It will need an inspection on this one.
    1
  15727. Hi! Yes a single drain and fill would be a good idea
    1
  15728. Hi! Email with the subject Chicago service request
    1
  15729. Hi! Yes get them adjusted through the back. Remove the wheels and drums give everything a good clean with brake cleaner then put the drum back and pull the rubber plug. Turn the star wheel until you feel a slight drag when turning the drum and you’re all set
    1
  15730. The alignment shouldn’t have changed unless they remove the knuckle
    1
  15731. I see. If the boot was leaking for long that could’ve caused it to fail
    1
  15732. It’s definitely not a weak spot. Was the boot leaking or it started making noise?
    1
  15733. I can’t share the price unless he authorizes it but it’s worth it and the owner knows what he’s getting. We’ll talk about it in the next video.
    1
  15734. Hi! Email me with the subject Chicago service request
    1
  15735. Hi! I don’t have experience with cord transmissions
    1
  15736. Hard to tell honestly. Some fail at 50k while others go to 250k
    1
  15737.  @mybunny1247  I responded to your email a long time ago. Please send another one with the subject Chicago service request.
    1
  15738. Yes email me with the subject Chicago service request
    1
  15739. Hi! Mobil 1 is good. But personally I would use toyota oil
    1
  15740. Hi! Yes mike I’d be very interested in filming the coolant replacement. Email me at thecarcarenut@gmail.com with the subject Chicago service request and I’ll get back to you
    1
  15741. Yes I am
    1
  15742. Hi! No issues with timing so far and it’s a completely different engine and has nothing to do with the eco boost
    1
  15743. It’s not but you need to be very familiar with reading wiring diagrams
    1
  15744. On the fog light and headlight circuit yes it will but not on the rest of the car
    1
  15745. Once they are available I will. And the fog lights is law to have them that way. You can change the wiring but it would be a modification
    1
  15746. Hi! Yes as I get them into the shop I try to make videos about them
    1
  15747. Slightly higher due to the added coolant system
    1
  15748. Agreed!
    1
  15749. Hi! They’re good trucks if taken care of. Just keep up the maintenance
    1
  15750. Hi! There’s a procedure to disengage the parking brakes if there’s failure and they won’t come off
    1
  15751. Hi! No information on the hybrid variant yet. I’ll do a similar video if possible when that does come out
    1
  15752. Sorry to hear that. Hope you get your parts in soon.
    1
  15753. Hi! It’s a new model issue. Will get resolved. I think some are making a bigger deal of it than it actually is.
    1
  15754. Hi! Many cab drivers are using hybrids for taxis. They do well with extensive idling
    1
  15755. I honestly haven’t seen anything yet on the tundra.
    1
  15756. I’ll see if I can get an answer for this one. Good question
    1
  15757. Hi! They don’t sign my check. Thank you.
    1
  15758. Hi! As of now there’s no way to turn it off. Let me look into it.
    1
  15759. Hi! Thank you for watching my video. Auto start stop is an emissions device and can’t be permanently disabled. You’ll have to turn it off everytime you start the engine. The lane assist however can be turned off permanently very simply by pressing the button on the steering. The parking brake can either be programmed to engage automatically or manually.
    1
  15760. Hi! Emissions and gas mileage. Everyone complained about the V8 gas mileage, so toyota made a cutting edge engine that is really a masterpiece and now people complain it’s too complicated….
    1
  15761. Hi! Yes you can but you’d have to turn it off every time you start the engine
    1
  15762. Hi! Post your questions here
    1
  15763. Hi! Most models either 5 or 7
    1
  15764. Hi! I haven’t seen one yet personally
    1
  15765. Toyota water pumps do have a weep hole
    1
  15766. Hi! Hard to tell but historically the tundra and land cruiser did have slight different suspension
    1
  15767. I think the worst jobs in toyota land is exhaust manifolds on a V8, a rusty frame replacement on a truck and removing a passenger side axle out of an IS or GS Lexus goes through the engine oil pan with a seized bearing
    1
  15768. Hi! The anticipation is around the same. Maintenance will determine how this engine fares as time passes by.
    1
  15769. Hi! You’ll want to look into struts and sway bar bushings and links first
    1
  15770. The boxed design will help but I would still undercoat it. With the chemicals they’re using now, coating is always recommended for frames
    1
  15771. Basically yes
    1
  15772. Hi! Normal new model pains. Happens to many models, the tundra is getting too much press. Pulling a cab out of a tundra is not even a difficult job. Looks dramatic but it’s actually not bad
    1
  15773. Snow in the bed from transport
    1
  15774. Hi! The frame is boxed which helps. Coating is recommended on the outside. Time will tell how this frame does.
    1
  15775. Hi! It’s not unless you modify it.
    1
  15776. New model issues. It’ll pass.

  15777. Hi! Spark plugs are a bit involved on these. And the turbo issues are new model issues. If you wait a bit they will be resolved. The cab does have to come off to replace them
    1
  15778. Good morning
    1
  15779. The Camry keeps the v6 for 2023 so far. Likely the Tacoma will have this engine in the future
    1
  15780. Highly likely you’ll see this engine in a new 4runner and possibly in the tacoma as well
    1
  15781. Hi! Likely not. The sienna will likely remain with the current engine for a while
    1
  15782. This I wasn’t able to find any information yet on the manufacturer of the turbo
    1
  15783. Hi! They will in some cases yes
    1
  15784. We’re hoping sometime in June
    1
  15785. That’s how it is. I can’t afford the build out and buying the building
    1
  15786. You’ll see it once the shop is done
    1
  15787. I’ll share it once we get closer to opening.
    1
  15788. Potentially in the future yea. I wanted to see how it goes for a year
    1
  15789. Hi! TCCN automotive
    1
  15790. Not sure on the exact epoxy he’s using but he knows it’s an automotive repair shop and he has to warranty it. So I hope the good stuff
    1
  15791. Good question! I barely could get it going! Ill try it 😉
    1
  15792. 😂
    1
  15793. Good suggestion! We’re getting a TV for the waiting area and there will be plenty of outlets. And the air lines are the last thing with the compressor. The compressor selling company is doing that included with the price
    1
  15794. We just talked about this. Debating over a ceiling fan or a big floor fan that I can move around as needed
    1
  15795. I am not. Do I need to?
    1
  15796. It does have a fire alarm, smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors. No sprinklers as they are not required for this size of building
    1
  15797. Chicago southwest suburbs
    1
  15798. Thank you! Email me at thecarcarenut at google.
    1
  15799. That’s code requirement today.
    1
  15800. Thank you so much Stephen! I appreciate your advise!
    1
  15801. Hi! Likely not able to do the customizations. You’ll need the old diagnostic tester from toyota which unfortunately very few dealerships still has one that works
    1
  15802. All of these can program Keys at least for toyota
    1
  15803. Hi! It’s good but slow
    1
  15804. Hi! Haven’t tested that one
    1
  15805. Are you in the Chicago area?
    1
  15806. Hi! My Camry is FWD. I’ll need a picture of the button to help
    1
  15807. Hi! The good ones all charge for updates.
    1
  15808. No. Just put it in park and let the auto parking brake engine
    1
  15809. Hi my brother! Mazda does have a strange arrangement of key programming if it’s the same as the IA. Is this a new key you’re trying to program?
    1
  15810. Hi! Yes it should be able to
    1
  15811. Thank you for your feedback. How much was the scan tool? Comparable in price?
    1
  15812. If scan tool manufacturers are listening this is a golden recommendation and one that actually make sense for DIY mechanics.
    1
  15813. Hi! The xtool D7 will likely do the job. Contact the company and tell them your cars and what you need it to do to verify that it’s compatible
    1
  15814. Hi! Every 120k miles
    1
  15815. Most Toyota don’t have coolant level sensors.
    1
  15816. No other issues other than containing the heat. The heat shield should be easy to put back on
    1
  15817. Hi! I would install the heat shield as without it you’ll radiate too much heat and possibly heat the cabin
    1
  15818. I haven’t seen any success with that. However it can’t cause harm to try it
    1
  15819. Hi Linda. That is indeed an interesting problem. Perhaps they need to turn off automatic clock sync with gps and see if the issue stops.
    1
  15820. Hi! It would be a good idea to do that since it’s a reoccurring storage.
    1
  15821. If I’m not mistaken it’s the same thread. I’ll double check it
    1
  15822. Video coming up very soon!
    1
  15823. Yes they're the same
    1
  15824. Hi! 13 ft lbs
    1
  15825. No clue and the best part is that they still have the same thread size and pitch as the old bolts that had a 10mm head. Maybe save a little bit of weight?
    1
  15826. Hi! You don’t need to
    1
  15827. Hi! I have a video for that. Here it is https://youtu.be/ING-RK7NJ-c
    1
  15828. Hi! If it’s a US model it should be the 2.5L A25A only.
    1
  15829. Hi! Don’t think it’s available for the corolla.
    1
  15830. That's a bit much for this engine oil wise!
    1
  15831. Thank you. I would inquire and ask why before agreeing to do ti
    1
  15832. Hi Did they list the reason why they need the service?
    1
  15833. That is the case if the transmission never had any service. The transmission in this car have had multiple transmission fluid services done to it. Still very risk and I’m still debating it
    1
  15834. Tough one honestly. Other than the better charger on the xse. I wish the SE came with leather seats but it doesn’t. Otherwise the XSE is not that worth it
    1
  15835. Hi! I did a video on the 4th generation
    1
  15836. Not really on the time limit. But the sooner you coat it the better protection you’ll get
    1
  15837. We’ll talk about it soon
    1
  15838. I’m working on this. It would save a lot of time
    1
  15839. Hi! You could use it yes
    1
  15840. The 4 cylinder doesn’t have a lot of issues. You’ll go through a few ignition coils and as they get older they could develop a head gasket leak but nothing chronic.
    1
  15841. Contact the shop for details. There 2 types of inspections we offer
    1
  15842. Hi! I’ll do a video in a future with details. The warranty term is 5 years 60k miles.
    1
  15843. Hi! They usually get a small service every 10k and a b service like the one in the video every 20k
    1
  15844. Hi! It’s between the two cowls on the passenger side. Very easy to get to
    1
  15845. 😂
    1
  15846. Not really when you have an extended warranty
    1
  15847. Hi! You could go aftermarket just know that some aftermarket parts will not last as much as originals. Some will be comparable
    1
  15848. Chicago area
    1
  15849. Couldn’t find one that fits and is clean so had to wing it
    1
  15850. Yes you can reset the maintenance reminder without a scan tool. Google it plenty of good guides out there
    1
  15851. Hi! Either or. They’re identical honestly.
    1
  15852. Hi! All these items are replace as needed. If it ain’t broke don’t fix them. I wouldn’t do anything but routine maintenance
    1
  15853. Hi! Prices change but it’s a quick jack look up pricing on their website
    1
  15854. Hi! Hybrid highlander are good. Some people voiced concerns over the 4 cylinder model. I think it has enough power for its purpose
    1
  15855. The w220 can be a good car or a serious pile of junk. Few family members own the same model you had and they never stop amazing me how much things go wrong with them
    1
  15856. My car has dynamic seats 🤔
    1
  15857. Hi! Thank you for watching! The Mercedes branded oil was actually cheaper than Mobil one after discounts. And the battery was free so can’t complain there.
    1
  15858. Thanks to the Supra kinda of
    1
  15859. Hi! Honestly I wouldn’t do anything. The corolla is a reliable economy car that will run forever. If you keep adding insulation you’re also adding weight and your gas mileage will reflect it. And in the end it will still be on the louder side with money spent.
    1
  15860. Honda’s usually used Phillips which usually stripped especially with rust. I think a torx is better
    1
  15861. Hi! The backing plate have some rust but it’s still intact. Typical of a car in this area with salt use. The caliper pistons don’t require grease
    1
  15862. I’ll double check it.
    1
  15863. That’s what the book says. Unless WIS is wrong……
    1
  15864. You could just go with a good brand and you’ll possibly need to lower the aim so you won’t blind other drivers
    1
  15865. It’s a business decision if the dealerships feels like their investment won’t be compensated with sales and service.
    1
  15866. https://youtu.be/XWx9NAXzS8w
    1
  15867. Hi! Likely normal older cars did take long to warm up
    1
  15868. Thanks my brother! I figured as much.
    1
  15869. Hi! The Avalon is likely gone for 2023. Hope Lexus gets rid of the grille soon. No news for sure if it’s going soon
    1
  15870. Hi! There was a time where Mercedes reliability was as good or better than Toyota but things went down hill quick. Old Mercedes even into the 90s were tanks on wheels.
    1
  15871. 😂 exactly!
    1
  15872. No I had to pay for it
    1
  15873. That’s a quick jack 6000xlt I left a pinned comment with a review
    1
  15874. I don’t have it on my store yet. I’ll add it soon. http://www.Amazon.com/shop/thecarcarenut
    1
  15875. Hi! Every gasoline engine lets a small amount of fuel into the oil when they first start up. That fuel over time starts breaking down the oil. That’s why.
    1
  15876. Hi! This one doesn’t have electronic parking brake that’s attached on the rear calipers it’s a bit different so it doesn’t retract like your model does
    1
  15877. No issues
    1
  15878. It shouldn’t be an issue with the dealership.
    1
  15879. Hi! The RAV4 can’t take 5 sensors so I would just put a rubber valve stem and rotate it in with the rest
    1
  15880. 2.0 in my opinion
    1
  15881. Hi! Maf cleaning is not a bad idea. Map sensors don’t need cleaning
    1
  15882. Hi! Write your question as a comment
    1
  15883. Hi! You can’t clean the rotors as you’ll wear off the coating that it has. You don’t need to pressurize the system if you’re just replacing the fluid and not replacing oarts
    1
  15884. Hybrids do make some noises that can be loud but that’s normal
    1
  15885. Quick jack.
    1
  15886. Hi! I personally don’t have experience with it but it doesn’t really intrude on anything. Just makes the throttle plate opening faster
    1
  15887. If they sold it I would 😂
    1
  15888. Hi! Working on one and should be out very soon
    1
  15889. Hi! Toyota MR2, Toyota Celica, Lexus LFA, Lexus ISF, Lexus GSF to name a few
    1
  15890. Dealership
    1
  15891. Time moves faster when you work on your dream car 😉
    1
  15892. Not in the v8 model
    1
  15893. 8.5 last one I put half
    1
  15894. I did. I like the s class more
    1
  15895. It’s a very nice car. Much improved from the previous one. However it still feels light and on the floaty side and not as, for lack of a better word, dramatic as the s class
    1
  15896. It was maintained ok. It also had very little miles when I got it.
    1
  15897. I did. Liked the Benz more
    1
  15898. Hi! You can’t really change the service like that. It’s integrated into a component called the data communication module behind the dash
    1
  15899. One of these days I’ll make a break down of how the extended warranty paid 4 times more than what I paid for it on this car. I don’t think that’s a scam…
    1
  15900. Hi! Yes it does but it’s behaving so far
    1
  15901. Could very well be. I gotta look it up
    1
  15902. Thanks! I watch legitstreetcars and know about fcpeuro. But I feel more comfortable with original parts which they didn’t carry for the brakes
    1
  15903. Hi! It’s a quick jack here’s a review I did on it https://youtu.be/XWx9NAXzS8w
    1
  15904. Hi! I’ll share the information in a future video once the warranty runs out. Don’t want to share too much and start trouble with them
    1
  15905. Thank you!
    1
  15906. Thank you for watching!
    1
  15907. Hi! One company I have dealt with that is good but expensive is vleds.com
    1
  15908. 82k miles
    1
  15909. Dealership.
    1
  15910. I don’t have much experience with the m273.
    1
  15911. Hi! You can any good quality dot 3 or dot 4 with your Lexus.
    1
  15912. Hi! I have a video on how to replace brakes explaining step by step using that tool
    1
  15913. We do in a sense! @legitstreetcars
    1
  15914. It’s not Mobil 1 it’s made by Mobil for Mercedes specifications. And it’s about the same price for me
    1
  15915. Honestly in the things like body and things you touch it is. But mechanical things they could significantly improve especially at this price point
    1
  15916. Hi! Led tail lights are non serviceable for that year. Yes the whole tail light will need replacement
    1
  15917. Do you know the price of the oil that I bought?
    1
  15918. Pretty much yes
    1
  15919. Guesstimate is around 9 hours of labor.
    1
  15920. They’re both identical. Double checked with the parts department these are the parts for this car.
    1
  15921. It does but it’s a normal parking brake and the cables are pulled by an actuator in the back
    1
  15922. I appreciate every car for what it is. I loved my Camry exactly the same as I love my S class.
    1
  15923. Ok could be a couple of things. It could be just the ABS running it’s self test. Any chance of a video recording of the sound?
    1
  15924. Hi! Hard to tell without checking it but it could as simple as over greased prop shaft leaking the excess out, sloppy oil change that wasn’t cleaned or a leaking cam tower
    1
  15925. Hi! This is a quick jack lift it’s portable. I did a review for it a while back here it is https://youtu.be/XWx9NAXzS8w
    1
  15926. They’re probably made by Zimmerman
    1
  15927. Hi! You know what the best part is? That Mercedes oil is actually cheaper than liquimoly for example. And the other parts, if you want to get comparable quality you’re almost the same price within 100 bucks difference. Cheaper is not always better says the fool. Have a nice day
    1
  15928. Hi! Usually the dealership where you buy it from to get a legit warranty
    1
  15929. Hi! This already happened to this car and everything is new including the harness me and a lot more
    1
  15930. Torque sticks will twist to limit the torque. So no Mayer how strong your impact is, it will hold the torque
    1
  15931. Already did! Thank you
    1
  15932. Maybe!
    1
  15933. Hi! If memory serves right it’s part of the gauge cluster
    1
  15934. They are
    1
  15935. Good to know! So do I remove the sticker to reveal something underneath it?
    1
  15936. I don’t really have much experience with the G35 honestly
    1
  15937. Hi! If reliability is higher than driving dynamics consider a Lexus especially the IS or GS. If reliability is not higher than driving feel go with a Mercedes or BMW. In my personal very biased opinion Mercedes is better than BmW. But be careful with both. They can easily go south and become a money pit. An extended warranty is highly recommended so you can actually enjoy your ownership. If you drive a Lexus IS or GS and like it go for it and you won’t regret it.
    1
  15938. Thank you for watching! The 2012-2013 W221 had the M278 twin turbo v8 which got slightly updated but remained the same for the pre facelift model of the W222
    1
  15939. Considering it as well. I have put so much love into this car I might just keep it and hope for the best
    1
  15940. It might be a feature than can be customized using the scan tool I’d have to check it
    1
  15941. What I hear about it is the cylinder wall scoring issues. But I also know owner neglect is universal. Does it seem like something related to bad maintenance habits?
    1
  15942. Hi! The xB can have an oil burning problem if it hasn’t been fixed which it could still qualify if it doesn’t have mileage just you need to keep an eye on the oil level. The corolla is ok if it’s in good condition
    1
  15943. On this car? They’re less than 2 years old I installed them myself
    1
  15944. Didn’t get that memo 😱
    1
  15945. 82k. Fluid has been replaced already
    1
  15946. You can check those by pulling the small hose going to the housing on the other side takes 2 seconds
    1
  15947. Honestly it doesn’t really make a difference
    1
  15948. I talk about that in this video which you are invited to participate in if interested https://youtu.be/BvBr1UQRWck
    1
  15949. Hi! Illinois Chicago area
    1
  15950. You can extend them. They’re a bit hidden behind the frame but not very hard to get to
    1
  15951. Hi! If you get the warranty for a good price it would be worth it
    1
  15952. Depends on the dealership. Sometimes it’s possible but you might not be able to roll the cost of it into the loan in this case
    1
  15953. Hi! They are good cars if they’re taken care of
    1
  15954. Hi! Honestly most reputable companies won’t issue extended warranties for cars over 10 years old or has more than 100k miles but some do for a high cost though
    1
  15955. Hi! That’s not right. Some dealerships unfortunately do that which is not cool. It shouldn’t matter what warranty you have or don’t have. If there’s a problem with the car it needs to be brought up to your attention
    1
  15956. Hi! Honestly nothing much yet. Just oil change and tire rotations. At 60 you’ll want to check your filters and replace as needed and replace the transmission fluid
    1
  15957. Really I would ask for the hybrid battery warranty because usually that’s longer than the standard warranty. And the battery if maintained right by keeping the fan vent clean and clear lasts a long time.
    1
  15958. Hi! Honestly I wouldn’t know how things work in Mexico however I would research the company that’s selling that warranty as that price seems good.
    1
  15959. Hi! The decarbonize service works but at 2 years it might be a bit early. Also if you do a lot of highway driving you likely won’t need it even as years and miles add up
    1
  15960. Hi! If it’s at a good price it wouldn’t be a bad idea. The transmission could have an extended warranty from Toyota
    1
  15961. At this point the only way is to undo the spring which could get damaged and you’d need to send the seat belt for repair or get another one
    1
  15962. You would have to either remove the button so you can push it back further to unlock it to remove the seat belt from the car and try to stand it up to unlock it
    1
  15963. Hi! It’s the same for a hybrid. We’re not worried about big things. It’s small things that add up
    1
  15964. I would read the brochure on the 3rd party to know exactly what they don’t cover. The certified warranty is good as well.
    1
  15965. The next one if I can finish it in time will be a bit fire-ish! 🔥 stay tuned
    1
  15966. Hi! You’ll want to talk to your local dealership. Some allow it some don’t
    1
  15967. Hi! It all depends on the price of the warranty and how long you’re keeping the van
    1
  15968. Hi! I would definitely have a technician that you trust look it over to make sure everything is good. The key thing is that you trust the technician. Good technicians would look the car over properly. One thing I would highlight is the front timing cover.
    1
  15969. Hi Ryan! That is terrible PR for a dealership honestly. Publishing such a reply on a public review is terrible business for them. Dealerships sometimes will get negative reviews for ridiculous reasons but this one is legit. I think dealerships should disclose everything about the car if it’s a cheap car and big dealerships shouldn’t be bothering putting cars on their lot that needs work.
    1
  15970. Hi! I personally wouldn’t change it over simply because if the adapter fails for whatever reason you could have serious engine issues and it could void the warranty on the engine IF there are any issues with the adapter. Otherwise it shouldn’t be an issue
    1
  15971. So dealerships won’t mark the car because they saw something aftermarket installed. This actually sparked an idea and thank you for your question. I’ll make a video about this because I get this question a lot. When you add accessories to your car they won’t void the warranty unless there’s an issue caused directly or indirectly by the installation. For example if you install the mirrors and something with the door doesn’t work afterwards they might deny warranty because the door is not considered modified because of the mirrors. But if you have a problem with the engine that has nothing to do with the mirror so it’s covered.
    1
  15972. Hi! It will void the warranty for issues caused by the installarion
    1
  15973. Hi Oscar. On the RAV4 hybrid with high miles driven it might not be worth it and you’re better off saving that money to the side
    1
  15974. Hi! Depends on the price. If it’s something that doesn’t push the price past your budget I would consider it
    1
  15975. I would contact Toyota in your region directly and inquire.
    1
  15976. Here’s the best part about this. The best extended warranties that I have dealt with that cover everything and very smooth to work with no one has ever heard of because they don’t sell direct to consumers. Car shield doesn’t sound like one of those that no one has ever heard of
    1
  15977. I really have no experience with car shield to speak of.
    1
  15978. Interesting. Did they share any more information?
    1
  15979. Congratulations on your purchase! What year Camry?
    1
  15980. Hi! The Prius is a good buy.
    1
  15981. Hi! If the price is right I would consider it
    1
  15982. Hi! So far this generation highlander has been good. A few odds and ends here and there but nothing worth mentioning yet.
    1
  15983. Hi! So far so good. I think it has nice technology and seems to address some of the issues with the previous one
    1
  15984. Hi’ ideally every 60k miles
    1
  15985. In the US it’s 3/36k for comprehensive and 5/60k for powertrain
    1
  15986. Hi! I would go with the 2015-2018 or a 2013. Personally I like the later ones better. The 2013 feels a bit cheap but is still a good car
    1
  15987. It’s a good extended warranty if the price is right and it matches what you’re looking for as far as coverage
    1
  15988. Hi! Car max actually has a good extended warranty. But the price is where I’d part ways with it.
    1
  15989. Depends on the warranty and the dealership. In some cases you can get a refund
    1
  15990. I don’t have experience with them however they fit the bill for “ we’ll cover everything on your car except everything that breaks normally with most cars” I’d be careful.

  15991. Hi! Vsa platinum is a good warranty. If the price was right it’s worth it. The 2020 model has been doing well so far but it’s too new to tell.
    1
  15992. I would push to lower the price more if you plan to buy it
    1
  15993. Hi! Depends on your needs and how much it costs
    1
  15994. Hi! Yes it has both direct and port at the same time.
    1
  15995. I think you did good then. As long as you had time to think about it and do your math and it was not a rush decision then it’s good.
    1
  15996. Hi! How long is the extended service plan for?
    1
  15997. That’s generally a good car with little issues. If you’re financing it and the warranty price is good I’d go for it.
    1
  15998. Hi! Software updates on cars are not like say a phone update. Usually software updates are tied to an issue. If the issue never happens then a software update is not needed. Sometimes software updates are done when a hardware change is done. So just doing the software update without the hardware change could cause damage.
    1
  15999. Hi! It’s likely just overfilled.
    1
  16000. Hi! The air injection system doesn’t have any oil?? That doesn’t make sense. If it’s fixed you’re good but perhaps something got messed up and they took care of
    1
  16001. Hi! This is a hard question to answer. Honestly word of mouth and trial and error. Getting to know the mechanic personally and building trust over time is the only sure way of finding a good one
    1
  16002. Hi! Direct injection is likely the source of the noise which is normal
    1
  16003. Hi! I like the new tundra. I would however wait a few more months before considering one
    1
  16004. Hi! Depends on how the dealership approaches it, typically they don’t but if the noise is caused by a part failure or wear then they might cover it
    1
  16005. If you can get a good warranty for a good price then it could be a good option.
    1
  16006. Depends on how much it costs and what it covers and doesn’t cover
    1
  16007. Hi! Thank you for watching my channel! Could you share which model and year car so I can give you more specific advise to your car
    1
  16008. I think that’s normal. What year is your sienna?
    1
  16009. Hi! Is it a downshift and higher rpm or is it slipping?
    1
  16010. That is not good. What he said is a flat lie and he’s trying to push sales of a warranty. The warranty could be good but that is your decision to make not him/her pushing it this way
    1
  16011. I think that’s a good deal. One engine out oil leak will pay for the warranty. Now it’s time to look for the common issues and track them so you can keep your car in excellent condition and fix anything that it needs while you have the warranty. Check this video for common problems https://youtu.be/1djDSR2vwdI
    1
  16012. Congratulations on your purchase! With the extended warranty you have nothing to worry about. If anything comes up you’re covered
    1
  16013. Thank you for watching Alex! On the telemarketers I still get calls on warranty for my old Avalon that I sold 7 years ago lol
    1
  16014. The clutch disc itself is a wear item just like brakes. They may cover a throw out bearing or a problem with hydraulics of the clutch but not they disc itself
    1
  16015. The platinum warranty is very good actually, a bit pricy but if you’re gonna get something expensive at least have it be the best
    1
  16016. Oh trust me I wish they were smaller so they can fit around tight space in an engine bay 😂
    1
  16017. Hi! I work at a Toyota dealership in the Chicago suburbs
    1
  16018. Hi! Email me with the subject Chicago service request
    1
  16019. I really don’t have information on these lifetime oil changes. Perhaps ask the dealership about the oil they use and inspect the filter if it’s original. Doubt a dealership would risk their reputation with bad oil and non original filters.
    1
  16020. Hi! If you have issues with the gas tank not filling up I would get it repaired
    1
  16021. Hi! If you are happy with the price of the warranty then it’s worth it for the peace of mind. Now that you have the warranty I would be picky and not let anything pass. Especially when the truck has a few years and miles on her. And if you end up never using it then you had the piece of mind.
    1
  16022. Hi! You’d take it to a Toyota/Lexus dealership.
    1
  16023. Hi! Honestly I don’t have much experience with Hyundai and their common problems but since you’re buying new doesn’t it come with a long warranty from the factory? If it does I’d say an extended warranty might be overkill
    1
  16024. Hi! The preferred company is always Toyota extra care as they cover the most and is the official extended warranty from Toyota.
    1
  16025. Typically Toyota dealerships will sell warranties that they have dealt with and work for them. If this is the dealership that services the car and will handle the claims then I’d take it into consideration
    1
  16026. Hi! The certified warranty is 7 years 100k powertrain only.
    1
  16027. Hi! It’s in the works and I’m hoping to get to making the requested video soon
    1
  16028. Places that require no inspection

  16306. Hey brother. No worries, the system will disengage regenerative charging when it needs. It won’t just keep charging. As far as the vibrating sounds, were you applying the brakes?

    1
  16413. Hoping to get a review in the near future
    1
  16414. I would! If it has 4 wheels and moves I can work on!
    1
  16415. Hi! In this case clean the fan itself and install a filter
    1
  16416. It is good for taller folks.
    1
  16417. 17k is higher than average but not a lot
    1
  16418. 2014 and up should buy this one for some reason didn’t
    1
  16419. Hi! It’s a lift made by quick jack. And it’s not hard to use but it’s very heavy
    1
  16420. Honestly on this car it was a surprise that they were all replaced as they usually last a very long time even with heavy use
    1
  16421. Hourly rate is good but the price is high
    1
  16422. Don’t remember the exact number but over 100k and clean title as far as I know
    1
  16423. I wouldn’t replace them. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it honestly.
    1
  16424. Hi! What’s wrong with the axle? Cv boot leaking?
    1
  16425. Hi! It’s made by quick jack
    1
  16426. Hope no one was hurt. Did you contact your insurance?
    1
  16427. Hi! Depends on which wiring got damaged. Why did it get damagedv
    1
  16428. Hi! That is a bluepoint flashlight made by snap on
    1
  16429. Would love it if they did! So far haven’t heard anything on that
    1
  16430. Hi! It’s called rail road dust or something like that. A common thing with white cars and can be removed easily.
    1
  16431. Hi! I did when I first got it . Here’s a video https://youtu.be/XWx9NAXzS8w
    1
  16432. Hi! Is the fluid level correct and was the fluid serviced on time?
    1
  16433. Hi! Send me an email at thecarcarenut@gmail.com with the subject Chicago service request
    1
  16434. Hi Mike. On the tundra quick struts seem to work better than the unibody Toyota/Lexus.
    1
  16435. You’ll want to use chassis ears to verify
    1
  16436. Hi! The bushing on the ES typically requires the knuckle to be changed. On your iM it’s a bit different. What is the exact noise description?
    1
  16437. Hi! That’s only on the filament not on the body of the bulb
    1
  16438. Email me at thecarcarenut@gmail.com with the subject Chicago service request
    1
  16439. There’s been a lot of work done to this Lexus.
    1
  16440. Hi! To start get yourself a floor jack and some jack stands. NEVER trust a floor jack alone, always use good quality jack stands to support the car before you work
    1
  16441. As a mechanic working in the industry. I agree with you however there are a lot of bad mechanics out there that give this industry a bad name unfortunately
    1
  16442. I did at the end
    1
  16443. Hi! Cars are typically not undercoated. But they have basic protection from rust. In Chicago use fluid film to coat it
    1
  16444. They are a non wear item as they don’t brake just hold the car
    1
  16445. They’re ok but their quick struts are not the best
    1
  16446. That is a good option. Thank you for mentioning it!
    1
  16447. Hi! Could be an intermediate shaft that needs lubrication or repositioning. Need diagnosis to verify
    1
  16448. Hi! The earliest I would replace the brakes is 3mm
    1
  16449. It is a reliable car
    1
  16450. Thank you for watching my video! I have not tested the comma 2 but will look into it! Thank you for bringing it up!
    1
  16451. Possibly picked up on something metal which happens.
    1
  16452. Hi! Some fuel smell that fades after a few days is ok. But if you still smell it after 5-7 days then take it back to the dealership to make sure nothing is leaking.
    1
  16453. It should activate the brake lights when it’s slowing down using the brakes.is it not doing that?
    1
  16454. Hi! It could be normal operation as the traction control engages. One thing I would check is tire pressure
    1
  16455. I don’t believe so. At least from the dealership side.
    1
  16456. Hi! I’m not aware of any updates to cars that don’t have the full speed adaptive cruise control.
    1
  16457. Shouldn’t be an issue to use it a lot
    1
  16458. Give your local dealership a call and see if there are any recalls open
    1
  16459. Interesting. Did this have a recall for the front emblem?
    1
  16460. Hi! There are cases where the system gets disabled due to weather. How’s the weather in your area?
    1
  16461. Hi! In this case you’re good with Valvoline
    1
  16462. It’s border line honestly. If you are going to change it do it as soon as you buy the car otherwise leave it alone.
    1
  16463. I think the 2015 will be better long term. The black film is normal from combustion nothing to worry about.
    1
  16464. Hi earl thank you for watching my video! What kind of problems are you having?
    1
  16465. Hi Simon! Awesome suggestion! It is on the list and will come in the near future. I want to do that and some tips on reading into a carfax report
    1
  16466. No they don’t. They’re simply used to identify distance and speed of objects.
    1
  16467. Interesting. I wonder if they did a flush through the lines
    1
  16468. Hi! Sensors and the emblem in front it can easily be into the quad digits price wise just for parts
    1
  16469. Stephen I have no information on the comma 2 I’m looking into it. Let’s wait for Steve to chime in for more information for you.
    1
  16470. Hi! If you’re constantly getting cut off and the car has to slam on the brakes to maintain distance then it might be hard for the brakes
    1
  16471. Hi! Minor improvements to the lane detection and lane tracing
    1
  16472. I’m not sure about other brands.
    1
  16473. Hi! Which model?
    1
  16474. Hi! Does the car have automatic folding mirrors?
    1
  16475. The 2017 is an awesome car for reliability! Just buy one that’s taken care of and take care of it as well!
    1
  16476. No need to turn any of the systems off. Nothing will get harmed in a car wash so nothing to worry about there. Thank you for watching my video!
    1
  16477. Now that’s an idea 😀 I can do that!
    1
  16478. That is correct. It can differentiate between type of object as well.
    1
  16479. Good question. I personally haven’t tried it but I wouldn’t over the emblem as it could affect the sensor. You could try it and see if it affects it. If it does it can be taken off
    1
  16480. I don’t have experience with them but definitely interested in checking them out.
    1
  16481. I would say so. But it won’t be a big difference
    1
  16482. Hi! Honestly at this mileage and age not much. The coolant shouldn’t been replace already. The spark plugs should have more time left and perhaps get an oil change. Check the rest of the car tires breaks and suspension and have a wonderful trip
    1
  16483. Hi Pam! Here’s a link to the video you requested https://youtu.be/nBBUQJKTaiM
    1
  16484. Hi! There’s no clear flood mode on Toyotas unfortunately
    1
  16485. Hi Marjan! So good maintenance habits help but in the case of this engine, this is a design issue so no matter what it will happen sooner or later
    1
  16486. Hi! I would change the oil every 5k or 6 months
    1
  16487. This can vary by generation of engine and model. That’s why I didn’t put them. Parts.Toyota.com with your VIN number is the best way to make sure you get the correct one
    1
  16488. This gear is unknown supplier. Neither Denso nor Aisin
    1
  16489. This is a gear problem not really a bad maintenance problem on the ones affected
    1
  16490. The updated parts are available but they’re currently on back order. Dealerships that have them in stock are not selling them over the counter to keep them for their service department. If you know a few dealerships they might sell them to you. Same thing with some rotors that are on back order
    1
  16491. Intake as well on the 2ZR
    1
  16492. Hi! I haven’t heard of anything of the sort especially on 2021 which has a better immobilizer system
    1
  16493. It is there but Toyota manuals honestly are not the best and the lock unlock procedure is vaguely mentioned. The TSB does highlight this better
    1
  16494. If it’s a V6 yes if it’s a 4 cylinder no
    1
  16495.  @njsongwriter  many manufacturers have this same issue. I wouldn’t know specifics on Honda and what exactly is causing it without diagnosis
    1
  16496. I hope at this point all Toyota mechanics that have done this know about the lock/unlock deal and can get it done right. This is not a hard job to do if you know the specifics of the locking part at the end
    1
  16497. I haven’t seen one yet. The old one you could
    1
  16498. Hi! No it’s not possible
    1
  16499. Hi! I am not aware of torque converter issues on this year Camry.
    1
  16500. https://youtu.be/ZfopOBAMk_w
    1
  16501. Hi! Parking it for 6 months out of the year will have a negative impact on the battery
    1
  16502. Hi! Yes it’s the same
    1
  16503. Hi! It doesn’t have a cleaning cycle
    1
  16504. Hi! Could be normal as the direct injection comes on when it’s cold. However to be sure could you record a short video of a cold start up and let’s hear it?
    1
  16505. Hi! Yes I do. Email me at thecarcarenut@gmail.com with the subject Chicago Service Request
    1
  16506. Not this exact engine. The older model of this engine which is the 2GR-FE
    1
  16507. Hi! The 8 speed can be annoying at times. Have the dealership reset the transmission memory to see if this improve. Also the more you drive it the more it will adapt and get better
    1
  16508. They are really the same. They’re both reliable if you take care of them. Go with what your preference is
    1
  16509. For reliability on the Camry 2019 and up it you really want to play it safe
    1
  16510. Hi! Your dealership can order them for you. They might ship directly to you not through the dealership but they can advise you. Ask in the parts department and they’ll help
    1
  16511. Rust is the most major issue with any 2013 Tacoma. Everything else is small things
    1
  16512. Hard to explain the double lip seal without a diagram but essentially it’s two seals built into one body the 2nd seal is kinda of like a backup in case the first one leaks
    1
  16513. Hi Jim don’t quote me on this as I am not 100% sure and going off memory but might be abs. And the water pump has a double lip seal
    1
  16514. Hi! Never really used it.
    1
  16515. Hi! I have a few cases when they first came out but not recently
    1
  16516. Hi! They have carbon build up problems. This had a D4 direct injection only fuel system.
    1
  16517. Ok in that case it’s up to you if you want to do the filter. It wouldn’t hurt at this mileage
    1
  16518. Hi! Did this transmission have regular fluid replacements up to this point?
    1
  16519. Hi! There’s no confirmed news or even a hint that it will be a 4 cylinder turbo in the 2023 4runner. Toyota at this moment doesn’t have a 4 cylinder turbo that’s new unless they turbo the dynamic force engine which would be interesting to see
    1
  16520. Because of the PCV system. It takes vapors which has some gasoline and oil and those end up collecting on top of the valve and cook into carbon with heat
    1
  16521. On this engine there’s no carbon build up. On ones with direct injection only it’s very possible
    1
  16522. Hi! Toyota doesn’t disclose the exact composition of the valve cover and as far as I know there are no aftermarket replacement
    1
  16523. Hi! It’s possible that it’s a bleeding issue but if the heat comes on quick at idle from a cold start then it’s likely something else. It could be a leak elsewhere. Pressure testing the system will show the leak
    1
  16524. Oil sludge is the biggest problem with this engine if oil changes were not done on time. To be 100% sure the front valve cover would need removing to check or ask for maintenance records. Check for leaks especially from the valve cover gaskets which are common.
    1
  16525. Hi! The 1MZ is a great engine. But it’s also old and a bit underpowered. But reliability and simplicity it can have an edge when maintained properly
    1
  16526. Hi! It’s normal to have a slight smell of gas. Do you do a lot of short trips?
    1
  16527. Hi! Yes 2016 and up
    1
  16528. Hi! Majority of the leaks seem to be at an early age. I haven’t seen ones start leaking with high mileage yet. The 2005-2006 Avalon had a tendency to leak with age
    1
  16529. That’s likely a timing cover leak. Did they clean it and add oil dye at least?
    1
  16530. Hi! I wouldn’t mix the two together.
    1
  16531. 2017-2020 sienna 2017 and up highlander Camry and Avalon v6
    1
  16532. Hi! Depends on what you need. Do you have bad weather than needs Awd?
    1
  16533. Hi! Reliability maintenance is about the same. But efficiency I would go with the 4 cylinder
    1
  16534. With that engine I would use 0w20
    1
  16535. Hi! Some noise from the vacuum pump is normal. They can be loud especially on cold start but I would compare it to another car with a similar engine
    1
  16536. Not that difficult. See the description for the video of the spark plug replacement
    1
  16537. Honestly they are both equally reliable. If you want more power go with the v6 if you want more fuel economy go with the 4 cylinder
    1
  16538. Hi! At this point I’d let it go.
    1
  16539. Look it up by VIN on parts.Toyota.com
    1
  16540. Hi! I don’t like the 10k oil changes and the internals of the other engines are the same
    1
  16541. That could be normal. Some of these had a heat shield on the rear exhaust manifold that made that noise
    1
  16542. Hi! I haven’t really. Has it always been there or it’s something new?
    1
  16543. This engine is the same as the non hybrid Avalon
    1
  16544. Hi! The electric power steering is a lot more reliable than the hydraulic one
    1
  16545. Hi! Backed up social media. Please post your questions here
    1
  16546. It could be rail dust. Did you try some rubbing compound?
    1
  16547. Hi! I haven’t seen this however do they look like chips or something on top?
    1
  16548. Hi! It’s more efficient
    1
  16549. Hi! The vin plate is not on the dash.
    1
  16550. Weld a frame that’s rotten is where I draw the line. Otherwise if it has a Toyota Lexus or scion logo on the front I’ll do the job.
    1
  16551. This is a known issue and your Camry is affected as well. There was a time where toyota was replacing the dashes for free but that has expired now. If you don’t want to replace the dash get a dash cover which would solve the issue in a way
    1
  16552. Hi! This was a known manufacturing issue that’s why they replaced them. Typically in my area we don’t have sun damage to dashboards but these still got damaged
    1
  16553. Yes but the owner wanted to do this right
    1
  16554. Yes sir. Can’t forget that warranty time. Avalons we’re probably the worst one. I didn’t mind the sienna, Camry and 4runners
    1
  16555. The dash that they make now is the updated one as the original ones were pulled off the market a long time ago
    1
  16556. Could be loose u joints. Hard to tell exactly without diagnosis honestly.
    1
  16557. Hi! Leave it alone at this point
    1
  16558. It’s possible with rust but not as common at least from my experience
    1
  16559. It can be an issue yes. Re-routing is recommended
    1
  16560. Hi! You can but be careful as you’ll need a lot of research to get the correct plug
    1
  16561. You can use Gear oil with LSD additive in a non LSD diff but not the other way around.
    1
  16562. I’ll investigate part numbers on the glass. There was actually no mention if the 1794 LE had acoustic side glass or not. If I remember correctly ( don’t quote me ) the front glass is. Curious how much of a difference it actually makes to have the sides as well.
    1
  16563. I considered this as a test to see if it really makes a difference. Will research it and see
    1
  16564. 😂 that’s exactly how it went! Glad Mrs Car Care Nut was on board and liked it as well.
    1
  16565. 3/24 is the production date
    1
  16566. Hi! Which parts are you looking for on your 2015 Prius?
    1
  16567. Hi! Tell them in techstream to go to Engine/ECT utility then reset memory
    1
  16568. Hi! They don’t mix well. I would drain it and refill with pink. They could gel up if mixed in large quantities
    1
  16569. Manual transmissions use gear oil and recommended for replacement every 30k miles
    1
  16570. Hi! I don’t have experience with it but honestly I would stick with WS original
    1
  16571. Hi! I don’t recommend it. A single drain and fill is sufficient
    1
  16572. Not a problem if the old coolant is completely drained first as mixing red and pink is not advised.
    1
  16573. I’m not familiar with that coolant but I wouldn’t use aftermarket coolant. The original is comparable in price
    1
  16574. Hi! You don’t need to replace the filter on this transmission
    1
  16575. According to Toyota factory filled coolant doesn’t have as much contaminants as service filled coolant. Doesn’t make sense but that’s what their official answer to this question is
    1
  16576. Hi! Honestly at this mileage I would leave it alone. You could do more harm than good
    1
  16577. Hi! Personally I would but not in a hurry. If financials are tight it can wait.
    1
  16578. Hi! The water pumps had some failures but not as early as 40k miles and those were limited to some early 2010-2011 prius models. I have not seen a single failure in the 4th generation Prius or the Prius prime.
    1
  16579. Hi! Here’s a video on how to change the inverter coolant. It’s combined with the engine coolant just skip to the part of the inverter coolant. https://youtu.be/_lWLMJ_4G24
    1
  16580. That’s very high! They’re usually around 20-21 per gallon
    1
  16581. Unfortunately once you connect the shocks to a low system they become low as well. So you’d have to replace the shocks again and line and accumulator and opposite side shock on the other axle
    1
  16582. Hi! Up to 4 quarts
    1
  16583. Hi! I would use oem fluid. It’s not worth the risk
    1
  16584. Honestly at this mileage if it’s never been changed I would leave it alone
    1
  16585. Hi! Every 30-60k miles and they do sell it but it’s not worth it as it’s super expensive
    1
  16586. Very early CVT would throw some trouble codes and has contaminated fluid. Most if not all of them already got replaced and taken care of.
    1
  16587. A drain and fill is good. Don’t worry about the filter on Toyotas if the fluid is changed on time
    1
  16588. Hi! I would drain it and use the correct coolant and you should be good
    1
  16589. It’s basically the same! You’ll just need a 19mm socket and long ratchet for the tensionrr
    1
  16590. I would just drain and fill once. I’m working on a video on transmission fluid replacement for the sealed Toyota transmission it should be ready in a few weeks
    1
  16591. For the engine?
    1
  16592. Hi! I wouldn’t be concerned unless you have issues with it. I would have the fluid double checked or ask the dealership if they checked the fluid level correctly
    1
  16593. Yep unfortunately that’s typical. I would get it serviced. Call around dealerships.
    1
  16594. Thank you! I’m glad I could help! Have a wonderful day!
    1
  16595. Hi! Here’s a video that’ll show you the process https://youtu.be/eRxSu4-4ojo
    1
  16596. I’d have to double check but most likely it’s 75w85
    1
  16597. Thank you!
    1
  16598. Hi! I don’t have a video for the dipstick style transmissions yet
    1
  16599. I’m not very familiar with remote start brands honestly
    1
  16600. Hi! You want the car to be at operating temperature preferably after a drive. Leave the engine idling then check the fluid level
    1
  16601. The hybrid transmission uses WS ATF from Toyota and not to be mistaken for cvt fluid. Here’s a video with more detailshttps://youtu.be/u15wHYuEFmU
    1
  16602. I would ask them for old parts if you have doubts. They shouldn’t have an issue with that.
    1
  16603. Hi Ron! Thank you for watching my videos! The 2009-2013 corolla common problems is planned and will come in the future. 60k or 6 years is recommended for the transmission fluid
    1
  16604. Hi! You could use it’s not a bad idea.
    1
  16605. Hi! Is this in the US?
    1
  16606. A hybrid ECVT is different than the conventional cvt transmission. Review this video for more information https://youtu.be/u15wHYuEFmU
    1
  16607. They are use pink coolant and WS transmission fluid
    1
  16608. Hi! Add slightly when it’s cold to get it above Minimum but not to max when it’s cold
    1
  16609. Hi! I would replace the coolant at this point
    1
  16610. Hi! Yes it does
    1
  16611. Hi! I would change it every 30k miles. It takes regular gear oil but synthetic could be better.
    1
  16612. The Loud clunk when you reverse is usually low fluid. I would have it checked as soon as possible
    1
  16613. Hi! I do recommend you stay with the same coolant
    1
  16614. I would change the fluid every 60k on the 2018 Camry and every 30k miles on the 95 Camry.
    1
  16615. There’s a procedure to check the fluid level. Find it in this video. https://youtu.be/eRxSu4-4ojo
    1
  16616. Hi! Does it happen more when the transmission is cold? If that’s the case I would check the transmission fluid level as it could be low
    1
  16617. Hi! Sorry to hear about the transmission. What year Camry?
    1
  16618. Hi! At your earlier convenience consider replacing the transmission fluid differential fluids and transfer case fluid
    1
  16619. Hi! Which part number are you looking for?
    1
  16620. If it’s a tiny amount you might be ok. But to be safe I would replace it to prevent issues.
    1
  16621. Hi! I wouldn’t mix red and pink coolant. I would go and buy additional pink coolant.
    1
  16622. Mixing the two is not great unless you flush the old and install new
    1
  16623. Hi! They use gear oil. And I wouldn’t use pink coolant on older toyotas
    1
  16624. Hi! Which year?
    1
  16625. Hi! For the transmission WS atf
    1
  16626. I wouldn’t use any transmission oil other than original. Not worth the risk
    1
  16627. Amsoil makes fine products. They are very good. However for daily driving Toyota’s they might be a bit on the overkill side. You could essentially get the same protection and results from a much cheaper oil when the intervals are followed correctly
    1
  16628. Hi! I would change it every 60k or 6 years using Toyota WS ATF
    1
  16629. Hi! For a drain and fill up to 5-6 quarts
    1
  16630. Hi! I wouldn’t risk it personally. You replace the transmission fluid every 60k miles I’d say it’s not worth it to go with a non oem fluid. It’s up to you.
    1
  16631. Hi! I would use power steering fluid specifically not WS ATF. And depends on the condition of the fluid the earliest is every 5 years or 50k miles
    1
  16632. Power steering fluid doesn’t really have an official interval. Essentially if you see it darker in color replace it. Any generic power steering will do.
    1
  16633. Hi! On the door panel does it say manufactured by Mazda or Toyota? Different markets might have different cars
    1
  16634. If the fluid is replaced on time you don’t need to replace the filter
    1
  16635. That one uses pink coolant
    1
  16636. Hi! I would leave it alone at this point
    1
  16637. Hi! If the hoses are not dry rotten and still soft don’t replace them. If you do buy original hoses as they will easily last another 20 years and don’t use worm clamps, replace the original clamps with originals. And use red coolant! Mixing the two is not a good idea. On the valve cover gasket job but original gaskets and most importantly an original pcv valve. We’ve seen issues with after market ones. The transmission fluid a drain and fill is safe in this case.
    1
  16638. Hi! If you didn’t drive the car already you can remove it and fill with fresh coolant. If you drive already I would replace the coolant and everything will be good.
    1
  16639. Hi! That’s in the Tacoma common problems video. Here’s the link https://youtu.be/b6tRAQ_r0Ms
    1
  16640. Hi Mark. A flush is ok if they follow it up with a fluid level check. You can request that the dealership do a drain and fill as well without issues.
    1
  16641. Max I would ask your old mechanic. Honestly I don’t know any mechanics in NY and your old mechanic could recommend someone or a shop.
    1
  16642. Hi! Thank you for watching my channel. I usually recommend you stick with Toyota WS Fluid. No issues going back to the original fluid of course. I wouldn’t worry about the filter as it’s not a service item. A flush is ok as long as it’s followed by a fluid level check.
    1
  16643. Hi! I would replace it every 30-60k on that one.
    1
  16644. Hi make sure the coolant is bled correctly
    1
  16645. It would be a drain and fill. All of them will require some bleeding. Some will require different procedures. If your share your model and year I can give you a more specific answer.
    1
  16646. Yes I would replace the transmission fluid every 60k and diffs and transfer case every 30-60k
    1
  16647. Hi! What are the trouble codes you’re getting?
    1
  16648. Hi! On the Prius you can replace the transmission fluid at any mileage and I would replace ot
    1
  16649. It should be good.
    1
  16650. Hi! Depends on the miles.
    1
  16651. I would use red honestly. Old ones don’t like the pink coolant
    1
  16652. It should be red coolant if the manual calls for it and the car has red coolant not pink
    1
  16653. Hi! Flushing is ok as long as it’s followed by fluid level check otherwise drain and fill
    1
  16654. Hi! That’s an old school method. Not very accurate. Replace it the first time at 100k or 5 years then every 50k or 5 years
    1
  16655. Hi! I wouldn’t risk it. I would use WS fluid
    1
  16656. Hi! You could do that. If the coolant is not contaminated I would just drain the radiator and block and call it a day
    1
  16657. Sorry I thought MT which model is this in?
    1
  16658. Agreed.
    1
  16659. That’s good to hear that there’s a proven oil that works with Toyota ws transmissions. I work at the dealership so we exclusively use WS fluid I wouldn’t have much input on aftermarket alternatives other than make sure you research before using which you did
    1
  16660. I don’t think owners would put something bad in their transmissions. I personally though ask why take a risk? If you’re buying high quality transmission fluid aftermarket it’s likely not cheap. Well if that’s the case then why not pay the same for original fluid?
    1
  16661. Hi! If this is a hybrid Toyota then that’s the inverter coolant. Here’s a video with more information https://youtu.be/_lWLMJ_4G24
    1
  16662. 😂 maybe!
    1
  16663. If the dipstick is red it’s not WS fluid if it’s black it’s ws fluod
    1
  16664. Hi! Type 4 will work for your Avalon
    1
  16665. Use white lithium grease
    1
  16666. Hi! Your Camry hybrid should have pink across the board is that not the case?
    1
  16667. Hard to tell honestly without testing the fluid. This is where getting to know your service department and building trust goes a long way
    1
  16668. firebir11 I honestly wouldn’t unless you will be towing all the time with near the towing capacity.
    1
  16669. The pink coolant is what came from the factory. It has the dye in it to detect leaks as a pink trail. Other coolants when they leak you can’t even tell because it dries off.
    1
  16670. Hi! Deep swivel should work.
    1
  16671. Hi! If you change the fluid on time you don’t need to change the filter
    1
  16672. Hi! I wouldn’t use any fluid for transmissions that’s not from Toyota. Not worth the risk
    1
  16673. Hi! Personally I wouldn’t risk it. I would always use the original fluid for all transmissions.
    1
  16674. Hi! Transmission dipstick?
    1
  16675. Thank you Doug! That’s the recommended interval and on this one. Personally knowing how the pink coolant is I would replace it no later than 100k and 5 years as they are not expensive and very DIY but that is totally your call.
    1
  16676. Most manual transmissions use gear oil. As long as it’s a good brand you should be good. Solid transmission on Tacoma’s.
    1
  16677. Hi! You could but most Toyota engines can be bleed easily without using vacuum
    1
  16678. That’s pretty bad!!! Are you sure your car has a CVt?
    1
  16679. If the mileage is not over 60k either is good. If it’s more and never been changed drain and fill is safer
    1
  16680. Hi! Did you check it when the engine is hot or cold?
    1
  16681. Hi! I wouldn’t worry about the thermostat at such low miles and age. On the water pump if it’s not leaking and/or making noise I wouldn’t replace it. And the temp gauge looks normal as you described
    1
  16682. Sorry to hear about the transmission. Things happen. Don’t be upset about it. You can make it up in the newer cars and life is good 😀
    1
  16683. Hi! I would use original fluid
    1
  16684. Hi! Yes it uses WS atf
    1
  16685. Email me
    1
  16686. If the front axles have an issue they won’t shake the steering you’ll just feel it in the body
    1
  16687. How about front axles?
    1
  16688. Only on acceleration?
    1
  16689. The filter don’t need changing as long as you replace the fluid on time
    1
  16690. Yes no issues
    1
  16691. Yes
    1
  16692. A simple drain and fill without dropping the pan every 60k should be sufficient
    1
  16693. Hi! You don’t have to change it again. Just check the level. I say this for DIY because often things progress too fast and they might end up going over the temperature range. Dealerships use a special tool which can check the fluid level at operating temperature so they can get the level accurate the first time.
    1
  16694. Hi! GL5 is good 75w90. Mobil one makes good fluid.
    1
  16695. Hi! I would have to look into it as the TC fluid is not available in my area
    1
  16696. Hi! Here’s a video on how to replace the transmission fluid and set the level on the sealed transmissions https://youtu.be/eRxSu4-4ojo the sealed transmissions usually get WS ATF
    1
  16697. Hi! Not urgently but as soon as possible
    1
  16698. Hi! I will once the new EV comes out from Toyota
    1
  16699. Hi! Every 30-50k miles
    1
  16700. Hi! They should know how to do it
    1
  16701. Hi! If the fluid is replaced on time you don’t need to worry about it
    1
  16702. Hi! I wouldn’t be concerned about the cleaner or the high than usual level.
    1
  16703. Hi! At this mileage I would leave it alone
    1
  16704. I wouldn’t use any fluid other than Toyota ATF WS
    1
  16705. Hi! See this video for the fluid level check procedure. You’ll likely need up to 5-6 quarts. https://youtu.be/NUAuGmDGntY
    1
  16706. It can. Don’t mix the two
    1
  16707. Hi! Those likely use red coolant. Make sure it’s red and don’t use pink
    1
  16708. Yes
    1
  16709. Hi. Every 60k miles
    1
  16710. Hi! The CVT fluid for your corolla is also red in color but it’s completely different than ATF
    1
  16711. Hi! The filter is bit simple on that model to replace. I would just replace the fluid on time and you’re good to go
    1
  16712. Hi! As long as you use the original fluid and know what’s involved diy is good.
    1
  16713. Depends on the mileage and condition of the fluid
    1
  16714. Hi! Yes it does
    1
  16715. Hi! The trim would be different. Not something I would look into adding later
    1
  16716. Honestly hard to tell you’d have to compare the wiring diagrams
    1
  16717. Hi! It’s covered pretty well underneath. It’s not as high on the list of things to do for your model.
    1
  16718. Hi! The issue with the seat bouncing up has come up and so far no solution for it. The headlights and the puddle lights I’d have to check
    1
  16719. It’s possible to bypass it but not something I would feel comfortable doing on other peoples cars.
    1
  16720. I can double check on the scan tool customizations but I don’t recall an option to shut it off. BMW will have a lot more options that can be changed than Toyota. They’re getting better but not even close yet
    1
  16721. Hi! No way to turn off the beep. And as far as using it. It should be good with power however gentle operation is recommended as these are bent easily
    1
  16722. It uses an electric motor to start the engine
    1
  16723. I haven’t seen this one yet
    1
  16724. Hi! You can do that. The engine will cycle on and off.
    1
  16725. Hi and thank you for your comment. Could you elaborate further? The RAV4 prime and the sienna have a similar engine and transmission. Unless Toyota text books are wrong?
    1
  16726. Hi! I haven’t run into this but question to you. Is the weather extremely cold where it’s possible that the door is frozen?
    1
  16727. Because some of the functions of the air bag is disabled when there’s codes stored from having the seat removed.
    1
  16728. Not really technical likely the additional weight of the motor needed to be compensated for
    1
  16729. Before removal you need to disconnect the battery and wait at least 3 minutes. Then when installing you also need the same
    1
  16730. Hi! If they’re taken care of hybrids actually could have lower costs.
    1
  16731. They should have a switch to make them turn on with door or off
    1
  16732. Not something I would attempt or recommend you do honestly.
    1
  16733. Hi! If it’s a US model use 0w16
    1
  16734. There’s a company called krown. Search their phone number and call them and get a quote
    1
  16735. Krown or fluid film
    1
  16736. I’d say so. It’s a nice car. A bit on the pricy side but otherwise a very good car
    1
  16737. Hi! It’s not a fuse issue. Usually sometimes the window needs initialization or programming to work
    1
  16738. Hi! They are adjustable.
    1
  16739. Hi! It doesn’t have a dipstick. But it’s also very simple process wise. It’s similar to a manual transmission where it just has a drain and fill plugs. The oil level is near the edge of the fill plug
    1
  16740. Hi! Too early to tell specific to the car. But so far on the drivetrain not much has become common
    1
  16741. Hi! Any accidents or paint work done?
    1
  16742. Hi! Thank you for watching! You should be good replacing it at this mileage. To be on the safe side do a drain and fill instead of a flush
    1
  16743. Step on the brakes for sure.
    1
  16744. You can but I would avoid it unless you’re going down hill
    1
  16745. Hi! Yes you can use S mode and manually downshift. It’s not a real downshift but a simulated one with the same results
    1
  16746. Thank you! Will keep going!
    1
  16747. Yes anything related to the airbags
    1
  16748. Hi! That’s a limitation of the smart key system
    1
  16749. Hi! You can but I would preferably use 60 height to compensate
    1
  16750. Hi! We could at the dealership where I work. Email me. The channel name at gmail please write Chicago service request in the title
    1
  16751. So the brand I know of is weather tech which makes a good trickle charger. I am not sure if they offer installation but I would call them, they’re in boilingbrook
    1
  16752. Hi! On the sienna hybrid one side is take up by the rear hvac unit and the other side is the spare tire if equipped
    1
  16753. Hi! It’s very easy to remove only has 2 10mm bolts and you can add sound insulation to them once the white panel is removed
    1
  16754. Hi! For safety to protect the occupants in case of an accident. The curtain air bag was not enough to get a good safety rating so they added one in the seat
    1
  16755. It is powered by the battery but it’s a minimal effect
    1
  16756. Hi! Likely fuel economy but I wouldn’t experiment with this.
    1
  16757. I would go with the 2021 personally
    1
  16758. Hi! They don’t get used as much. If you live in an area with salt use in winter I would take the brakes apart once a year to clean everything up
    1
  16759. Some of them will have sport mode which is the same as power mode
    1
  16760. Hi! There’s always a reserve. Have the dealership double check the calibration on the gauge
    1
  16761. For security reasons and it’s actually a limitation of the key system
    1
  16762. Hi! They do well as long as they’re not parked for long periods(3-4+ weeks) without driving
    1
  16763. Hi! You can clean it either way but avoid direct pressure on electrical connections.
    1
  16764. On the components affected yes it can affect the warranty
    1
  16765. Unfortunately if it’s not equipped with navigation then no
    1
  16766. Typically 0.5 hour per so an hour total
    1
  16767. Hi! Film a video of the issue to show them.
    1
  16768. Hi! I always recommend oil changes every 5k miles. And for filters place small pieces of tape around to see if they get broken and you’ll know. They have no way of knowing if you’ve checked them oem it
    1
  16769. Hi! You’ll need custom wiring to make that happen
    1
  16770. Hi! Are you mechanically able to do it yourself? I have a video on how to do it and that video happens to be on a RAV4 just like yours
    1
  16771. Something like that likely no unless they’re clogged and not maintained
    1
  16772. Hi! The tool number is 09228-06500-02
    1
  16773. Hi! Unless they see obvious signs of neglect and questionable maintenance there shouldn’t be an issue. Keep the receipts and try to document mileage as well
    1
  16774. Salvage titles do void the warranty.
    1
  16775. Hi! It won’t void the warranty as long as the correct fluid is used and the fluid level is correct afterwards
    1
  16776. Hi! On the ride sharing I don’t have a direct answer on this as it depends on case to case.
    1
  16777. Used parts are a grey zone because technically they’re original parts
    1
  16778. Thank you! Hopefully the reveal video is coming soon
    1
  16779. Hi! Get a second opinion from another dealership. Also if possible drive a similar year model car for comparison. If it’s normal you’ll hear it on another model as well.
    1
  16780. Coolant level shouldn’t drop unless there a leak. First Replacement at 100k miles then every 50k miles afterward
    1
  16781. Bring it my friend! I actually have another video idea which can use a 4runner if you’re close by. Email me with Chicago service request in the subjecy
    1
  16782. If everything is done right you shouldn’t have issues
    1
  16783. On TSBs not really but you can purchase access to techinfo.Toyota.com and check everything at once
    1
  16784. Hi! Dealership technicians won’t install glass. The dealership typically has a glass company come out and replace windshields
    1
  16785. Hi! The LX570would be the same as the land cruiser
    1
  16786. Hi! Only on the affected components
    1
  16787. It can still affect warranty if the modifications are aftermarket and there’s a related issue
    1
  16788. Email me with the subject Chicago service request
    1
  16789. I second the manager. I’ve never seen a single fuel pump on that generation Tacoma go out. On the AC was it a condenser?
    1
  16790. It shouldn’t unless it’s installation causes other issues
    1
  16791. Usually send the fluid for analysis. If there’s an issue with the engine and the oil is suspect they’ll also send it for analysis
    1
  16792. Unfortunately that video got postponed as the car they was supposed to show up for the filming was a no show
    1
  16793. Good question. Honestly that one I’d have to inquire about
    1
  16794. If you replaced the fluid with the original fluid and followed the correct procedure to check the fluid level you shouldn’t have issues
    1
  16795. Hi! If the car was repaired correctly with correct paper work and everything is in order then you shouldn’t have issues
    1
  16796. Hi! It wouldn’t void your warranty
    1
  16797. Hi! It will affect your warranty related to the throttle system only
    1
  16798. Hi! I do have a video on brakes. While not specific to a highlander but it’s the same procedure and I tried to list all relevant information. It’s a 3 part fully detailed video
    1
  16799. Hi! If there are issues caused by the tune then yea it would affect the warranty
    1
  16800. Hi! Scan gauge is very accurate when it comes to trans temperature. Is your model v6 or 4 cylinder and I’m assuming this is a 4WD model?
    1
  16801. Yes it’s similar
    1
  16802. Hi! Yes it does and you’ll have a thermostat to press on yours
    1
  16803. Hi! Most warranty companies don’t cover maintenance items ( brakes batteries tires belts…etc) some don’t cover shocks struts. Almost all of them don’t cover issues caused by rust. Most of them don’t cover trim and coverings example is a broken cup holder. Some will not cover specific items like catalytic converters and shock absorbers.
    1
  16804. Yes it will work on all Toyota and Lexus models with a sealed transmission
    1
  16805. Hi! You’ll need to notch the edge of it and tap it with a chisel to turn it. Have a new one ready first though
    1
  16806. Hi! https://youtu.be/eRxSu4-4ojo
    1
  16807. Hi! Yes it does.
    1
  16808. Hi! Chicago suburbs
    1
  16809. Hi! You can do either or.
    1
  16810. Hi! When the drive light stays on along side the park light you’re in the temp range and you should adjust the fluid level when it flashes it’s too hot
    1
  16811. If they can display the trans temp pid they’re good.
    1
  16812. You’ll want to check the fluid level. Relatively level is good. Just not on ramps or a steep driveway
    1
  16813. Depends on the model. Most seem to be in the range of 95-114. Some go higher than that and it’s always sensor 1 not 2
    1
  16814. You’ll look at the temperature. Depending on the model you’ll wait for it to get within the temperature range then you’ll take the overflow plug and adjust the level
    1
  16815. Hi! I’d say that’s pushing it if it’s never been replaced before
    1
  16816. Hi! Don’t fill it up to the fill plug!! You need to open the overflow tube. Follow the video instructions
    1
  16817. Hi! That’s enough
    1
  16818. The instructions are for a Tacoma. I said tundra, sequoia LX570 in the video….
    1
  16819. Hi! You could but be careful not you let it run low
    1
  16820. Hi! I would get them original from the dealership but shop around to get better prices on originals
    1
  16821. Labor wise 2 hours at the most. Part you can find prices on parts.Toyota.com
    1
  16822. I would contact them and ask but if memory serves right it doesn’t
    1
  16823. Under the drivers side dash area
    1
  16824. Hi don! Email me with the subject Chicago service request and we’ll get back to you.
    1
  16825. Hi! No. The manual transmission is just a simple drain and fill
    1
  16826. Yes. See the video link in the description for more specific video to your rav4
    1
  16827. Hi! Email me with the subject Chicago service request
    1
  16828. Hi! Your transmission has a dipstick. So drain the fluid and fill through the dipstick and you’re all set.
    1
  16829. Hi! Both models need to know if 2WD or 4wd
    1
  16830. Hi! Yes it’s not an issue
    1
  16831. Hi! I don’t have the information at the moment. Please reply to this comment to verify if this is a 4WD or 2WD transmission and I’ll get back to you.
    1
  16832. That’s correct. They don’t have an external cooler but as Jordan mentioned they still have a cooler that uses engine coolant
    1
  16833. Hi! In the us we have a website for the repair manual. Not sure if it’s available in Australia
    1
  16834. Hi! Yes this actually works on all Toyota models with a sealed transmission exactly the same
    1
  16835. Hi yes they do every 60-90k miles
    1
  16836. Hi! You can do it on the ground if you can reacg
    1
  16837. Hi! It’s the same for all years 4runner without a dipstick even the 4th generation
    1
  16838. Hi! If you don’t see it on the side then you don’t have towing package. If you don’t tow don’t worry about it if you do I would consider adding one and the temp range is around 100-115
    1
  16839. Hi! Yes a single drain and fill is sufficient. Should be up to 5 quarts on the transmission
    1
  16840. Hi! Yes similar
    1
  16841. It’s up to you George. It’s your car, your money and of course your decision. From my experience at the dealership some of these transmissions start having shifting issues around 100k miles on the original fluid. Things like rough shifts, delayed shifting or abnormal shifts when cold. Harsh engagement between 2nd-3rd are very common on the 6 speed transmissions because of the fluid. Lifetime is a loose term and not written or defined.
    1
  16842. Hi! Do you own a Toyota truck and tow with it? If you do then Toyota tells you to replace it at 60k or 6 years.
    1
  16843. Hi! 2021 corolla hybrid will use WS fluid.
    1
  16844. You could leave the jumper on
    1
  16845. If the ambient temperature is high it could take a lot longer. Try this procedure after it sat overnight
    1
  16846. Hi! Has the fluid been replaced before?
    1
  16847. Hi! I would still do the fluid temp check. The method you described works if the fluid level was good to begin with and you’d be surprised how many are not.
    1
  16848. LKQ is good.
    1
  16849. Hi! At the very least check the fluid level. And if you’re going used find one with a warranty.
    1
  16850. Similar yes
    1
  16851. Hi! You can do this with scangauge 2
    1
  16852. Hi! At this mileage I would leave it alone
    1
  16853. Hi! Yes it does
    1
  16854. Up to 90k miles or 9 years
    1
  16855. Hi! Going off memory that sounds about right. Don’t have access to check it at this moment
    1
  16856. Hi! Honestly that’s too early to do either. But if you want to do it either will work. For the flush they’ll want to check the fluid level afterwards
    1
  16857. Hi david! Thank you yes. So my system is down still, I didn’t want to say this at the livestream. Sorry about this, could you do me a favor and reply to this comment tomorrow morning or afternoon hopefully it’s back online and I can get you the information
    1
  16858. Hi! The lack of the transmission cooler is highly debated in the community. Although from experience I haven’t seen any issues. I see many tundras that tow and some are used as snow plows and I haven’t seen a single transmission issue from heavy use. If worried about it you can add a transmission cooler.
    1
  16859. Hi! I don’t know anything in your area.
    1
  16860. Hi! I would change it around 60k miles
    1
  16861. Hi! You can but 60k is better from experience
    1
  16862. Hi! Usually around 200-250
    1
  16863. Depends on the model some of them don’t have physical pins so you need a scan tool to connect these terminals but others have it and you can do it manually
    1
  16864. Hi! You’ll still need to cycle between drive and reverse a couple of times just to circulate the fluid
    1
  16865. Hi! On hybrids you can change it at anytime without issues. You can change it yourself if you’re handy with cars
    1
  16866. Hi! You’ll need to let it cool down. Preferably overnight then start the procedure again
    1
  16867. That works IF the fluid level was right to begin with. And you’d be surprised…..
    1
  16868. Hi! You should be ok doing a drain and fill
    1
  16869. Hi! Don’t really know any shops in your area
    1
  16870. Yes it’s very similar
    1
  16871. I am Christian my brother
    1
  16872. It’s possible some models didn’t. Is it 2WD by any chance?
    1
  16873. Hi! Very simple actually just a drain and fill until it overflows. I’ll have a video soon for manual transmissions
    1
  16874. That is correct but how do you know you had the correct amount to begin with? You’d be surprised and I say this from experience. No need to take it to the dealership. You now know how to do it yourself after watching this video, so it will cost nothing but 15 minutes of your time to do the job right and have no doubts
    1
  16875. Hi! If the fluid level was good to begin with. And you’d be surprised….
    1
  16876. Hi! It should be red. Sorry to ask this but we are sure we drained the transmission not the transfer case or the engine oil?
    1
  16877. Hi cezary! No issues of oil dilution that I’ve seen.
    1
  16878. The Tacoma actually has a specific clean up mode. On hot idling it will run a specific cycle just to clean the backs of the valves.
    1
  16879. Hi! Cruising will get you port and hard acceleration direct if memory serves right. I’ll double check.
    1
  16880. Thank you Ahmad!
    1
  16881. That is correct. Fuel cools the pump.
    1
  16882. Hi! It does have D4S so both
    1
  16883. Interesting. It would need to be diagnosed honestly. Install a fuel pressure gauge and see if your fuel pressure is dropping
    1
  16884. Hi! If you have no concerns with the injectors I would leave them alone.
    1
  16885. They typically only clean the port.
    1
  16886. Honestly the service is legit however do you need it? Unless you drive always short distances and never on highway or hard acceleration then it could be beneficial but otherwise you won’t need it.
    1
  16887. Hi! Which year and model do you have?
    1
  16888. Hi! Yes there are benefits to both systems and by having both they can achieve the best of two systems
    1
  16889. Hi! Power mode on hybrids?
    1
  16890. At 15 dollars I would do it every other service. Sometimes folks are spending almost 100 dollars in additives that they add every fuel fill up. It could work but money wise overspending on them is not advised as they don’t do miracles
    1
  16891. There are no fuel pump issues with scions that I am aware of
    1
  16892. Hi! That number is not showing up on my side. Which car does it affect?
    1
  16893. Hi! Every engine will naturally have some oil in the intake which collects. It doesn’t really affect much unless the car is driven short distances constantly then it could become an issue
    1
  16894. Hi! Yes find it here https://youtu.be/1OFV8gpxAxI
    1
  16895. Hi! The information on this video is applicable to Toyota Lexus and scion models.
    1
  16896. Hi! I would go with either but I would lean towards the 2.0. Both Japanese and Mississippi cars are similar in quality in my opinion
    1
  16897. Hi! I would need to hear the sound. Could you record it and upload the video and share a link?
    1
  16898. Hi! My information is limited on the Yaris hybrid as they are not sold in my country but it appears it is direct injected.
    1
  16899. On the 2018 RAV4 it should also be able to be changed but might need the dealership to change it with the scan tool
    1
  16900. Hi! Still need a volunteer in the Chicago area to film with their car. Do you live in Chicago?
    1
  16901. Hi! I would get the fluid changed. I recommend you replace it around 60k miles or 6 years
    1
  16902. Hi! Which model?
    1
  16903. That is correct. So far the computer has no ability to identify which cylinder is causing the change because it only has one sensor that monitors the performance for each bank.
    1
  16904. Hi! They do move slightly up and down however usually you’ll get vibration on acceleration when it starts to go bad which is not very common on your model
    1
  16905. Thank you for watching my channel! Finalizing a few things then live streams will be scheduled on the same time and same frequency
    1
  16906. I haven’t seen any issues with carbon/soot build up. Some soot on the exhaust pipe is normal.
    1
  16907. Wow possibly just out of warranty by time. Well I would close the egr first and see if it stops the misfire first. Any other noises? Like a rattling noise?
    1
  16908. Interesting. How many miles and which year? How about EGR issues?
    1
  16909. Hi carlos. What symptoms do you have and what codes?
    1
  16910. Hi so do you feel like either should get better economy than the other? And if so which one should get better?
    1
  16911. Hi! Some hoses of the evap system are part of the fuel tank. Contact your insurance as that’s usually covered
    1
  16912. Hi! They don’t need cleaning if the oil changes are done on time
    1
  16913. Hi! These engines have an oil separator build in which essentially does the same thing
    1
  16914. The direct injector is a whooping $447 each. The port injectors range from 150-250 each
    1
  16915. Thank you!
    1
  16916. Merry Christmas! Once I get one in the shop I’ll start scion specific content
    1
  16917. Happy holidays! Thank you for watching my channel
    1
  16918. The rear window is likely not a fuse. It will need some diagnosis
    1
  16919. Definitely 300k+ with good maintenance and care
    1
  16920. Hi! It could last that long with good care
    1
  16921. Hi! You can. It will cost less but certain things the Toyota dealership possibly won’t do
    1
  16922. Hi! On flex fuel models it throws off the calibration which then would lead to many issues including cold start issues
    1
  16923. Hi! You can switch under 62 and should not be in 4h over 62 mph
    1
  16924. Hi! On other models generally for safety
    1
  16925. Unfortunately no, but you can disconnect the switch or wire a kill switch for it
    1
  16926. This one is a 2021 nightshade edition. I am testing cars as well to give a more comprehensive review.
    1
  16927. Merry Christmas!
    1
  16928. I haven’t seen this yet
    1
  16929. Hi! Newest generation or the 1st generation?
    1
  16930. On the Sequoia yes
    1
  16931. Not as much as the previous generation
    1
  16932. Thank you! Merry Christmas!
    1
  16933. The Sequoia in a non rust environment is very close to the LS400 honestly reliability wise. It does have a few things as they get older and have high mileage.
    1
  16934. It does eventually start smoking and smelling as it leaks directly on the exhaust manifold. Are you near Chicago? I’ll fix it for you
    1
  16935. Merry Christmas!
    1
  16936. Thank you Jose! Merry Christmas!
    1
  16937. Thank you!
    1
  16938. Hi! This one is not covered. I would keep an eye on the coolant level for now. It won’t fail as long as you keep the coolant level up
    1
  16939. Hi! I am in the Chicago area
    1
  16940. Hi! Make sure the car is off. Then close and reopen the gas door
    1
  16941. Hi! Some diagnosis is needed to see if the pump works or not. Sometimes debris gets inside and seizes the valves but not the pump
    1
  16942. Hi! Depends. Which model are you considering?
    1
  16943. Hi! I respect them as they are good people but if they have a problem with me saying the truth as it is then I’d have a problem working with them honestly.
    1
  16944. I am in the Chicago area
    1
  16945. Provide comparable of the same year and mileage
    1
  16946. The original monroney label of the car will list it
    1
  16947. Depends how much you put down and how’s the whole financial outlook of your loan. I typically get gap on all my cars. Peace of mind
    1
  16948. I haven’t seen people doing that conversion
    1
  16949. Yes
    1
  16950. Hi where’s your question?
    1
  16951. Hi! If the rest of the car is in good shape then it’s worth it as this is the biggest problem this car will have and otherwise is a very good car
    1
  16952. Raising the price $500-1000 is not as bad as some dealership charging $10k plus
    1
  16953. Hi! Honestly the best ones are 2014 and up
    1
  16954. Honestly I don’t know many dealerships in your state
    1
  16955. Hi are you in the Chicago area?
    1
  16956. Usually they’re automatically pulled but the MSRP is also printed on the original window sticker that came with the car from the factory if that’s not on the window then I would head over to Toyotas official website and build a similar car to see the actual MSRP
    1
  16957. Hi! At the moment I don’t offer remote assistance but I am actively available to my Patreon community
    1
  16958. These are options. Which options does the car have?
    1
  16959. Hi! It is on the original window sticker of every new car and it can also be found on the manufacturer website when you use the build feature
    1
  16960. Dealerships that don’t allow you to properly inspect the car before buying I would avoid
    1
  16961. Hi! Many good websites for used cars I would search them all! Or use something like autotrmpest.com to search multiple at the same time
    1
  16962. Hi! I would definitely get the 2022
    1
  16963. It makes no sense but dealerships are actually getting better sales on auction than to retail customers
    1
  16964. Hi! Should be similar between the us and Canada. And make sure it’s not rusty and has good service history
    1
  16965. Hi! I don’t have a lot of experience with other models.
    1
  16966. Hi! It’s north. Email with the subject Chicago service request for details
    1
  16967. Hi! Something like an xtool a30 would be a good one. And I would still inspect it. Better safe than sorry even with a new car
    1
  16968. Hi! Depends on the dealership. In normal times yes but these times they might give you the deposit and sell the car before you make it back to your car
    1
  16969. Hi! Most Lexus dealerships in the area are good. For buying one I would shop around as some of them are starting to really inflate prices
    1
  16970. Hi! Leasing is not a bad deal at this time if you can get the price right.
    1
  16971. Thank you!
    1
  16972. Hi! That is a misfire on cylinder misfire on cylinder 1 and 2. Does the car run rough at the moment ?
    1
  16973. Hi! You’ll see how many times it blinks and that’s a code number. The chart can be found in the repair manual at techinfo.Toyota.com
    1
  16974. Chicago area
    1
  16975. Hi! The dealership can get you the spare tire
    1
  16976. Hi! At the dealership level there’s no way to shut it off. You’ll want to find someone who can customize the software to take the warning out
    1
  16977. Hi! Hard to get good deals on cars these days. If the car is in good shape and was taken care of then it’s good.
    1
  16978. Hi! It is normal. It’s not the most powerful engine for towing
    1
  16979. Tire pull. Rotated the tires and pull changed to the other side
    1
  16980. Hi! I specialize in Toyota, Lexus and scion products not really familiar with volvos
    1
  16981. Hi! I wouldn’t just into a car with water damage to the hybrid battery. Depending on the damage you could need more parts and these things are expensive!
    1
  16982. I have a very good idea how your transmission is shifting. That weird 3-4 shift feels like it shifts then comes back then jerks then shifts. And all other shifts are kinda of erratic. Unfortunately a simple scan tool won’t do the trick. A dealership won’t charge you an arm or a leg to do this. Send me an email I’ll try to give you an alternative.
    1
  16983. Hi! This is somewhat of a new emerging issue. All you need to do is reset the transmission memory and that takes care of it. A capable scan tool or a dealership scan tool can do that.
    1
  16984. I don’t know about the American brand with a new transmission but a 15 Camry hybrid is a good car 160k is a lot of miles unless the car is well maintained and in good shape
    1
  16985. Hi! Take it to another dealership
    1
  16986. Similar yes
    1
  16987. Hi! On the brake fluid it’s not a time interval. The fluid needs to be tested for moisture content. Normally around 3 years is when I see moisture content high in Toyota’s. So if a test is not possible I would wait at least 3 years before changing it
    1
  16988. That’s a good car if it’s in good condition
    1
  16989. Thank you for watching my videos! On hybrid models you can't do harm replacing the transmission fluid late unlike a conventional automatic transmission.
    1
  16990. Hi! I would leave it alone at this mileage
    1
  16991. Hi! They messed this one up badly. So what’s bad for the customer is good for the warranty? That sounds terrible. I understand they might’ve missed the warranty but to come back saying it’s not covered is horrible. Well I wanted to clarify in the end is she paying or the warranty?
    1
  16992. I’ve seen shops replace transmissions because of this. It’s a simple transmission memory reset. Seen it a lot and it’s very simple to do with a scan tool.
    1
  16993. Hi! I would consider 5k mile or 6 month oil changes
    1
  16994. For the engine 0w20 full synthetic
    1
  16995. I would start by checking the alignment.
    1
  16996. Any accidents?
    1
  16997. Hi! Did it do the same with the old wheels?
    1
  16998. It’s hard for me to predict what’s going without checking it in person. We’ve seen cases of loose pins in connectors and faulty combination meters but all that has to be checked very carefully before throwing parts and wasting your money. Did you try to erase the code and see if it comes back?
    1
  16999. So that code is often confusing and difficult to diagnose. Toyota doesn’t exactly use a vehicle speed sensor. It uses the signal from the wheel speed sensors to get the vehicle speed. The diagnosis starts by checking all outputs from the wheel speed sensors and the ABS system as a whole then moves to the combination Meter which is the where the gauges are. Checking wiring and signals.
    1
  17000. Hi Denise! Any chance you have the trouble codes that they recovered?
    1
  17001. Thank you!
    1
  17002. Hi! It could be under warranty. I would inquire at the dealership
    1
  17003. So it could be a few things. One is pad shift which is normal and not a problem. Try this drive the car then stop shift to reverse and let go of the brake then press it lightly if you hear it there then it’s pad shift and nothing to worry about. If it’s not that then could be something with the sway bar links or bushings which is not a big deal to fix. Lastly it could be the roof rattle which really isn’t worth fixing as it’s nothing broken just two metal panels hitting each other
    1
  17004. Hi! In what conditions does the rattle happen?
    1
  17005. Without in person diagnosis it’s hard to guess but it could be a belt accessory. Remove the belt and see if the noise goes away. It could also be a simple heat shield
    1
  17006. Hi! A very slight rattle is normal especially after an oil change. These engines do make a very slight rattle on cold start up which is normal. The problem rattle is a lot louder and lasts a good 3-5 seconds
    1
  17007. Hi! They’re identical from 2012-2017
    1
  17008. Thank you for watching! They are on the list and will come in the future
    1
  17009. They are reliable with good maintenance. Of course every car will need repairs but the ownership cost of this model corolla will be on the low side.
    1
  17010. 2009-2013 corolla models are ok. They have their issues but overall they’re ok but be aware of neglected examples, I see too many poor maintained corollas than any other Toyota model. Make sure you check the car well or have a mechanic check it. The transmission is solid with very few issues and usually related to neglect or misuse. I do have a guide for the 2014-2019 corolla you can find it through this link https://youtu.be/i8FON3-RYks
    1
  17011. Did you program the new sensor?
    1
  17012. Is it on or flashing the. On?
    1
  17013. Congratulations! I hope you like it and keep it for a long time with zero problems!
    1
  17014. No updates that I know of. The transition is usually smooth
    1
  17015. Nothing really gets damaged. If the leak gets very bad and is not cleaned it could eventually leak onto the alternator and over time it could damage it. If you’re not going to fix it, I would clean it up and call it a day.
    1
  17016. Hi! Around 10-15 hours depending on the shop.
    1
  17017. Hi! I’d have to check the exact numbers.
    1
  17018. Hi! Sorry what is your question?
    1
  17019. Hi! It’s not too late I would change it
    1
  17020. The gs350 is a stand-alone platform that’s not really shared with any Toyota model. The engine is shared but also differently mounted and isn’t a direct fit in Toyota models.
    1
  17021. Matt Ortega my pleasure! By the 12-14 has ABS as well maybe they were referring to the crash safety rating specifically the small overlap? Google that for more information
    1
  17022. Hi! Not that I have seen.
    1
  17023. Hi! A drain and fill should be safe at this mileage
    1
  17024. This one is border line. You’d have to be a very experienced diyer to do this as it involves removing the oil pump and can be somewhat of a difficult job
    1
  17025. The 2012 accord is a good car but I hear you on the 2014.5 I like that model as well.
    1
  17026. Thank you for watching my videos. Yes that is due to the sport suspension in the SE model.
    1
  17027. Hi! That’s normal for that generation of Toyota radios
    1
  17028. Gwinnett Lawns looks like you’re due for an upgrade! Honestly for DIY I would stay with 15-17 as the 18+ is a little less DIY friendly especially the engine. I’d skip early 2018s and make sure you don’t mind the way the 8 speed shifts
    1
  17029. I don’t see many issues with the 2015 other than the occasional memory reset that solves shifting issues
    1
  17030. Depends how big is it
    1
  17031. Yes that would help to be in second gear as well
    1
  17032. Hi! In snowy conditions I would use 4Hi. When the ground is dry use 2wd
    1
  17033. Not really they both work great.
    1
  17034. Hi! Interesting. This one is hard to tell without diagnosis. Did it happen more than once or just the one time?
    1
  17035. Hi! That’s interesting. These usually don’t have issues. Try a few things. First test your alternator. Also clean the throttle body. Lastly check for codes even if there’s no check engine light sometimes you’ll have pending codes that could Help
    1
  17036. Hi! What year Tacoma?
    1
  17037. Congratulations!
    1
  17038. Hi! Yes you can because they have the center differential.
    1
  17039. Hi! The odd feeling of the 8 speed transmission that’s left after the update is a normal characteristic. It’s very annoying I’m with you but it won’t have implications on reliability long term.
    1
  17040. Hi! On wet pavement like snow and/or rain as needed. Try not you use it on dry pavement especially when making turns. Speed limit is 62 mph
    1
  17041. I would stick with the 5k 6 month oil changes. If you feel like your use is heavy and demanding it wouldn’t hurt to change it sooner
    1
  17042. Hi! I would change it every 30k regardless of off roading or not.
    1
  17043. I would focus on cleaning the bore of the throttle body where the butterfly meets the body. Open it and clean it well.
    1
  17044. Honestly I would say that’s a normal idle so the shaking could be something else. How well was the throttle body cleaned?
    1
  17045. Hi! How low is the idle?
    1
  17046. That’s normal for it to get a fault when one tire spins fast and rest don’t. Is it 4WD?
    1
  17047. You’ll want to try it honestly. That’s what a shop would do and try to free it up from there if it has an issue
    1
  17048. Hi! The cam tower leaks are the same on the sequoia
    1
  17049. Hi! I think amsoil makes fine products. However when it comes to transmissions I would only use the original fluid which the transmission was designed for.
    1
  17050. Insurance didn’t cover that?
    1
  17051. Hi! 2 sources of the whine noise which is a normal characteristic. One is the engine oil pump and the other and less pronounced is the transmission oil pump
    1
  17052. Hi! I would shift it every month or so.
    1
  17053. I think KDSS is worth it if you don’t plan to lift the truck and modify it
    1
  17054. Wording is all it is. Typically AWD is referred to the non off road variant like a small suv or sedan and 4WD is one with a real transfer case with a low range however technically speaking speaking you can call them either.
    1
  17055. @Smoke Stack so it’s supposedly made to help with gas mileage so you can drive on dry pavement with 2WD. Do you notice a difference?
    1
  17056. Interesting I wonder if it got stuck half way through the shift
    1
  17057. Hi! Did you try to make sharp turns?
    1
  17058. Hi! Are your tires the same brand and ratings?
    1
  17059. Hi! Yes your 4Runner works the same. Does have vacuum operated actuators in the early years. What year is your 4Runner?
    1
  17060. This was a general video. If you have the VF4AM transfer case then yes it does have a Torsen center diff
    1
  17061. So far they’re not problematic as long as they’re used frequently
    1
  17062. Hi! It changes based on slippage. It does have a limited slip differential that allows a different mechanical distribution of power to front and back
    1
  17063. Hi! I wouldn’t worry. Try it before you buy it. If it works during the test drive you’re good and wouldn’t have to worry about it
    1
  17064. Hi! Once the shift happens or the lock engages it should come on solid. Flashing means the shift is not completed. Did you follow the conditions needed to allow that shift?
    1
  17065. Hi! Likely not. Something got stuck somewhere and it will need diagnosis.
    1
  17066. Hi! Because it’s designed for snow/ice/off road. Also this model doesn’t have a limited slip differential so when you make turns at higher speeds that puts a tremendous stress on the transfer case
    1
  17067. I agree with the 30k miles.
    1
  17068. Hi! Limited models has full time and others have part time.
    1
  17069. Hi! I wouldn’t use it on dry pavement especially on turns it will bind.
    1
  17070. Hi! Likely a wheel bearing noise. It would need diagnosis to confirm that it’s that side you’re hearing as noise travels
    1
  17071. Hi! You’d need to find the 2 wires for the motor on the actuator and apply power and ground to it either way until it engages and the light stops flashing.
    1
  17072. Hi! It is very similar to the one in this video.
    1
  17073. It is not a differential per se but it is referred to as a center locking differential.
    1
  17074. Hi! Honestly if towing is a priority I would look at the 4Runner. The RAV4 even the adventure or off road models are not ideal for towing.
    1
  17075. It puts a tremendous stress on the transfer case transmission and the engine as well
    1
  17076. Driving in 4L at high speeds could really damage things! Maybe they’re driving in 4 hi?
    1
  17077. Hi! On part time 4WD models it will bind when you take turns in 4Hi in dry pavement and it’s not recommended. Either use 2WD mode or buy a full time 4wd
    1
  17078. Hi! Honestly I would agree with you 100% except for the trucks and specifically the 4Runner. The resale value of 4WD models is higher and they’re more desirable.
    1
  17079. Hi! I don’t recall them beeping in 4lo. I’ll check
    1
  17080. Honestly dare I say this ones been reliable so far. Of course it needs something every 3 months but has been very simple to work on especially compared to the w221 with the M278
    1
  17081. Honestly either or. No preference for me as the result of what they do is the same
    1
  17082. The 4Runner doesn’t require it
    1
  17083. Hi! I don’t have that specific model in my area. Follow the owners manual recommendation
    1
  17084. Hi! No completely different
    1
  17085. Hi! It’s not really possible with major customizations which is not something available through the dealership
    1
  17086. Thank you sir! Hope you’re doing well
    1
  17087. I didn’t see a need for it honestly. The Lexus LS430 is a very quiet car
    1
  17088. Hi! I haven’t seen any personally. But lack of service of the transmission and high mileage could cause torque converter issues
    1
  17089. So far it’s holding so we’ll run it until it needs something and we’ll overhaul the engine no problem
    1
  17090. Thank you! I will go into the real reasons we went this far in a future episode as break down the costs
    1
  17091. Yet! Coming up in the near future
    1
  17092. That’s the plan along with the shifter
    1
  17093. Hi! The reason it’s loud is the D4S injection system. When it switches to direct injection it gets loud. It’s a normal condition and not to be mistaken with the engine falling apart
    1
  17094. Excellent idea! I wish Toyota would’ve done that for the transmission and coolant drain
    1
  17095. It’s a 30mm 12 point for the axle nut. Aftermarket maybe?
    1
  17096. Hi! For 4runners I would be looking for a 2010-2021. The 2003-2009 are also good but they’re also a bit older and can have a few issues. One thing you must inspect is rust. Rusty 4runners can be problematic
    1
  17097. Thank you for watching! It’s not my personal vehicle but I am very familiar with them as I work on them every day. If you have any questions feel free to ask
    1
  17098. Yep! They can be fun!
    1
  17099. Please upload it to YouTube and post the link here
    1
  17100. Hi! Could you film a video?
    1
  17101. I haven’t seen any come to the dealership like that. It’s also illegal to do that.
    1
  17102. No worries my brother 😀
    1
  17103. Hi! You’d have to check with your local dealership for that one
    1
  17104. Hi! Some parts got better some got worse. But overall things are better
    1
  17105. Hi! Unfortunately Toyota doesn’t allow manual shift point programming on any of their transmissions
    1
  17106. Hi! Yes it is
    1
  17107. Hi! It’s the quick jack lift. Many sizes and prices available!
    1
  17108. Hi! Likely cost. The brakes on the Tacoma are good overall even with the drum brakes

  17110. Hi! Email me with the subject Chicago service request
    1
  17111. Hi! That is normal. That is the evaporative emissions vacuum pump inside the charcoal canister running the self test. I’m working on a video to explain that and how it works
    1
  17112. Using auto will turn it on automatically. If not using auto just push the ac button
    1
  17113. Hi! Turn the ac button on while using the heat
    1
  17114. It does but defrost is not always used in winter
    1
  17115. Hi! They do well in very cold weather unless when they’re parked for over a month in cold weather
    1
  17116. Hi! You’ll need to raise it from the oil pan near the drain plug that’s the strongest area
    1
  17117. Hi! Email with the subject Chicago service request
    1
  17118. Hi! cVT transmission in Toyotas are reliable. I have some experience with Subaru. They’re good cars except their high performance models they’re nice but not very reliable

  17119. Hi! Email me with the subject Chicago service request
    1
  17120. Hi rich! The Prius prime has 2 filters on both sides of the back of the back seat. I would love to make a video on it but I haven’t found a Prius prime owner willing to offer to bring their car so I can film it. Do you live around Chicago?
    1
  17121. Hi David. That’s coming up in the near future
    1
  17122. Hi! That rav4 prime doesn’t have a transmission filter.
    1
  17123. Thank you for watching! There are 3 vents underneath the back seat with a built in filter. It has 2 small doors that open exposing 2 10mm screws remove them and pull each vent for cleaning.
    1
  17124. Hi! There’s only the one
    1
  17125. Hi! It does have a hybrid fan filter located at the edges of the bottom of the back seat.
    1
  17126. Not yet! I’m working on getting a car to film with.
    1
  17127. Thank you for watching my video! Is this a Venza hybrid limited?
    1
  17128. Hi! Yes you can.
    1
  17129. Hi! Your local Toyota dealership will have it.
    1
  17130. Hi! It will affect it but as long as it’s clean and clear it should be able to keep the temps down
    1
  17131. Hi! As the video show it should be on the passenger side of the back seat
    1
  17132. Hi! Underneath the back seat
    1
  17133. Hi! Vacuuming is sufficient
    1
  17134. Once I get one to film with I’ll get the video out.
    1
  17135. Hi! Go to parts.Toyota.com enter your vin number then search for G92DH
    1
  17136. The cabin filter is behind the glovebox.
    1
  17137. No. On each of the vents you’ll see 2 small doors that pop open. Behind them is 2 10mm screws for each vent. Remove those and the vent comes out for cleaning.
    1
  17138. Which year Prius?
    1
  17139. Hi! Same place and you can buy it from the dealership
    1
  17140. Yes I would change it the first time at 5 years or 100,000 miles then 5 years or 50,000 miles.
    1
  17141. I’m trying to find a prime to film with. Do you live in or around Chicago?
    1
  17142. I’m working on getting a Camry hybrid to film with and should have one soon.
    1
  17143. Hi! It shouldn’t be an issue
    1
  17144. That works but I’d rather you take it for a short drive every week to keep things fresh.
    1
  17145. It is but the duct for the air intake goes to the interior so it would take air conditioned air from the cabin to cool down the battery in the case of a hot day.
    1
  17146. Some do some don’t. You’d have to look in the vent on the drivers side of the back seat. If it doesn’t you can install one
    1
  17147. Hi! You can turn it on all night. Not ideal if it’s repeated daily but for a camping trip it shouldn’t be an issue
    1
  17148. Typically no if it has filter which yours does. The fan is directly behind the filter you can check it
    1
  17149. Depends on your use. I would check it every 3 months and if it’s clean increase to 6 months and go from there
    1
  17150. Hi! It’s located underneath the passenger rear seat. If you slide it all the way forward you’ll see it underneath
    1
  17151. Hi! As needed. Check it every 3 months if it’s clean then check every 6 and go from there
    1
  17152. Yes! I’m getting a sienna soon and will film the filter cleaning as well.
    1
  17153. RAV4 prime?
    1
  17154. I’m still trying to find one to film with in the Chicago area.
    1
  17155. Thank you for watching my videos! Yes that car is a good hybrid to buy. Take care of it and it’ll take care of you.
    1
  17156. Somewhat similar yes
    1
  17157. Hi! Your Prius doesn’t come with one from the factory. If you want to add one the part no is G92DH-47020 but a fan cleaning might be needed before installing the filter.
    1
  17158. Hi! Underneath the passenger side rear seat
    1
  17159. Hi! No I would just use air
    1
  17160. Could not find an exact number as the battery has multiple sensors and depends which one you are reading it will be different. But let me ask you this. The test for the sensor is to leave the car off for 24 hours and the reading should be the same as ambient. Is that the case?
    1
  17161. I have seen many cases of the hybrids reaching the threshold. More than most people think. From clogged filters to papers clogging the vent to completely clogged filters to even fans that no longer work
    1
  17162. When it disables everything it starts the engine keeps it running and uses only the power of the engine to drive. Very limited performance similar to when there’s a problem with the high voltage battery.
    1
  17163. Honestly cooling down the battery too much is also not good. The hybrid system is regularly monitoring the temperature of the battery and optimizing the fan speed to keep the temperature in its desired range. If things get out of control it would kick the fan on high. If it still can’t control the temperature that’s rising then it would disable everything and enter safe mode and set codes.
    1
  17164. Hi! Let me understand your question a bit better. Are you observing the temperatures using a scan tool? Which model and year?
    1
  17165. Thank you!
    1
  17166. Hi! Here’s a video for the highlander https://youtu.be/Ey_hD7PUF88 and for the Avalon https://youtu.be/QpF9I1YFGxo
    1
  17167. Hi! On both sides of the back seat. Part numbers are G92DH-30130 and G92DH-303140
    1
  17168. No it’s different. For your Lexus there are 3 vents underneath the seat which are held by 2 10mm bolts each.
    1
  17169. Hi! No, find the video for your Lexus here https://youtu.be/WNo-VXJSg7s
    1
  17170. Thank you for watching and for the video suggestions!
    1
  17171. What happened to engine blocks that are no longer machinable or serviceable? Valve guides and seats that are not serviceable? Short blocks that cost less than machine shop work + assembly labor + parts? In case anyone wonder why you don’t see machine shops in every corner servicing modern engines like they once were.
    1
  17172. 😂 they actually tell you to use a block of wood and a hammer to install the tubes in the manual
    1
  17173. For the first 500-1000 miles you’ll see a decrease in gas mileage. It should recover though after that.
    1
  17174. The repair manual on majority of modern engines in everyday cars specifically mentions using engine oil as lubricant on assembly. At least in the case of modern Toyota engines.
    1
  17175. The big plug is there to access the bolt for the timing gear.
    1
  17176. We didn’t go into it a lot in the video but the head does have slight warpage and the guides are worn.
    1
  17177. We didn’t go into it a lot in the video but the head does have slight warpage and the guides are worn.
    1
  17178. The balance shaft does nothing to the engine running. It simply cancels out unwanted vibrations. Depending on the engine design and the off set of the crank some need it some don’t.

  17181. Not yet! Should be after April 13th!
    1
  17182. Hi! They were replaced at the 120k service
    1
  17183. Hi! Email with the subject Chicago service request.
    1
  17184. Hi! We don’t have that model in my area but wonder if it shares the same drivetrain as the 3rd gen Prius. That noise could be a start misfire related to the EGR system clogging up.
    1
  17185. Will do. This one was a 2008 Toyota Highlander
    1
  17186. Honestly I would be nervous taking a tight turn at 45+ in a Tacoma! But the traction control kicked in because the truck was sliding which would disengage the cruise control.
    1
  17187. Hi! It’s a quick jack lift by bendpak. This one is rated up to 6000lbs they do have another model that goes to 7000lbs
    1
  17188. Penetrating oil works for a week then it’s back. Tried it before

  17189. Hi! On 99% of them you can see the leak originate from where the cover meets block/ head. Very few actually are leaking from the banjo bolt. A common dealer scam is to charge to do the banjo bolt then charge again to do the cover
    1
  17190. Hi! Not a lot of experience with that generation accord
    1
  17191. Hi! They are known to burn oil if oil changes are bit done on time
    1
  17192. Usually they are covered and don’t have issues but the highlander is an odd one that even though it’s covered it still seizes
    1
  17193. It can be periodically lubricated but eventually it will seize again
    1
  17194. Hi! They’re good cars. More interesting and sometimes daring than toyota. That daring part is not always reliable but they’re overall good. Soon I’ll start reviewing some of their cars on the second channel
    1
  17195. Thank you for the tip! I do admit I need to find a more suitable flashlight for my videos!
    1
  17196. Hi! Hard to tell without inspecting it in person but we’ve had a few cases on different models and ended up being an incorrectly adjusted front recognition camera
    1
  17197. Hi! I would replace the coolant at 50k and the transmission fluid at 60k
    1
  17198. I’ll do one when I get one to film with
    1
  17199. Hi! Is the bulb correct?
    1
  17200. Hi! It needs to be be FE fluid
    1
  17201. Hi! The 2014-2019 highlander doesn’t have the same issues with the wiper as the previous generation
    1
  17202. Hi! You can use 5w20 or 5w30 on this one
    1
  17203. Hi! Email with the subject Chicago service request
    1
  17204. Hi! On your model try loosening the shaft at the steering column moving it a bit and tightening it. Seems to work on the 3rd gen Prius
    1
  17205. Hi! Could be vapor lock. Not something common with this engine or model. Would need some diagnosis honestly it’s hard to tell
    1
  17206. Hi! I would spray down the steering shaft first with a rust penetrant first and see if it gets better. If not it’s possible it’s a pump issue
    1
  17207. Hi! If you can remove it without cutting Into it perhaps but that’s usually never the case
    1
  17208. Hi! Pb blaster works well. I haven’t seen any 2014-2019 highlanders with wiper issues
    1
  17209. Hi! The Camry doesn’t have this system as it’s a normal hybrid not a plug in.
    1
  17210. Thank you!
    1
  17211. Hi! I wouldn’t avoid them. Just make sure they are well taken care of
    1
  17212. Hi! Putting an electric heater in an EV can become counter productive as it draws too much power and it affects the range
    1
  17213. Hi! Hard to tell without diagnosis. Does it do the same noise if you change modes?
    1
  17214. Hi! It’s not possible to change the design. The reason they went with this design is to keep the dehumidification function
    1
  17215. Hi! Not really familiar with their designs I work on Toyota products
    1
  17216. Hi! 2017 and up Prius prime on this one
    1
  17217. Hi Tyler! Two things come to mind. Either a heat shield or something with the backing plates dragging. Hard to tell without checking. Does it change pitch or intensity when you apply the brakes?
    1
  17218. Hi! Usually around Christmas time you get some deals but with the current climate of cars I would start around august. That when you’ll start seeing the 2022 models this year it looks like
    1
  17219. Yes it has normal heating
    1
  17220. Hi! They can adjust it up to 4 MPH
    1
  17221. Hi! I have a video for wiper inserts. Here it is https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=adRFPUFJDoo
    1
  17222. Hard to tell but it’s possible
    1
  17223. Hi! Is this a hybrid model?
    1
  17224. Usually on non hybrids.
    1
  17225. No comment on that as I have not seen it. However all I hear is reports having to do with incorrect battery installation or incorrect battery size installed
    1
  17226. The hybrid transmission will be more expensive to replace
    1
  17227. Hi! They are both good the hybrid transmission having a slight advantage in reliability in higher mileage
    1
  17228. I’d rather you upload it online and post a link as emails are a bit backed up now
    1
  17229. So if it’s not an active leak yet I wouldn’t worry about. Usually they get bad where it goes all over the belt but this one sounds like a minor one
    1
  17230. Oil leaks from the engine are covered by powertrain warranty
    1
  17231. Hi! No way to disable it through the dealership
    1
  17232. Hi! Nickel metal hydride
    1
  17233. Not as common on hybrids but still possible. Wouldn’t hurt to check if your buying one.
    1
  17234. I hear you. This video is done. Waiting for better weather to film it
    1
  17235. Other than the normal drains that get clogged from debris nothing specific to this model rav4
    1
  17236. Hi! They are really identical no difference between the two
    1
  17237. Hi! I think at the cars age it should be ok. It is low mileage and if this was a 7-10 year old car I would advice caution but this one is ok
    1
  17238. My bad. It pulled it up under the Camry video. So there should be no issues installing a hitch on your 2018 RAV4 at all. Many options available.
    1
  17239. There should be no issues installing one as long as you don’t tow with it. It might be too low hanging to the ground though because of how low this generation Camry is to the ground to begin wirh
    1
  17240. Hi! It’s a documented issue but there’s no fix for it yet
    1
  17241. Hi! Are they original brakes? If they are you could try lubricating the shims
    1
  17242. I’ve seen an increase in compressor failures in this generation corolla so it wouldn’t surprise me
    1
  17243. Use a memory saver
    1
  17244. Hi! No real difference between them in this generation
    1
  17245. Hi! If you plan on driving the car regularly and not low mileage it should be ok. But if you will continue with low mileage driving and long time of storage I would pass on it
    1
  17246. They seem better than the previous generation.
    1
  17247. It should cover it then
    1
  17248. @JLM contact me via email and I’ll see what I can do to help. Thank you.
    1
  17249. Thank you for your feedback. Background music is removed in newer videos
    1
  17250. Hi! Once I get one to do the video with
    1
  17251. Hi! The price is ok for a dealership. It will need to be fixed at some point but as long as you keep your eye on the coolant level and top off as needed you have a little bit of time
    1
  17252. William Dugan no problem! The “sealed transmission” is just a term used in the industry. The hybrid transmissions have a drain plug and a fill plug that are easily accessible. If you’re doing this yourself you just need to find a way to pump the fluid in the transmission like a hand pump. Your hybrid transmission will use Toyota WS transmission fluid.
    1
  17253. Should be in settings general
    1
  17254. Anything binding in the driver train? Any accidents?
    1
  17255. Hi! When you say pull, do you mean you drive and let the steering go and it drifts to one side OR you put the steering straight and the car drivers to one side or another?
    1
  17256. Hi! Some issues yes
    1
  17257. I'm working on recording how to clean the filter on various hybrid models as cars become available.
    1
  17258. Hi! They are the same.
    1
  17259. Congratulations!
    1
  17260. Thank you! Glad I could help!
    1
  17261. Hi! It is if it doesn’t have any of the issues in this video and has good service history
    1
  17262. Hi! I did a review of the Supra find it here https://youtu.be/rc2qgbbRDmk
    1
  17263. Hi! Honestly not a lot if it’s in good shape and has been taken care of
    1
  17264. Hi! I would disconnect the battery
    1
  17265. Unfortunately the only way to get them to cover it is for the leak to get bigger.
    1
  17266. Most of them are resolved
    1
  17267. Ahh ok 😀 sorry. So the pump seal on the shaft fails and starts throwing coolant around. The gasket usually holds pretty good
    1
  17268. If you’re referring to the front timing cover leaks it’s the sealer itself that fails at one area and leaks
    1
  17269. Hi! On which car?
    1
  17270. I’ve only reviewed the new Venza so far. Hopefully in the future I’ll cover the older one
    1
  17271. Might be expensive but very high quality. Try VLEDS.com
    1
  17272. Thank you! Keep up the good work on your awesome content as well!
    1
  17273. Most of my videos especially the maintenance ones apply to Lexus as well as they are basically the same company. I will make a video in the future talking about the difference. Like your channel as well! Nice content!
    1
  17274. Hi! Do the standard checks. Tire pressures first then make sure none of the brakes are dragging
    1
  17275. Hybrid possibly. Electric no at the moment
    1
  17276. Happy new year!
    1
  17277. Hi! I would take it to the dealership. This one will need in person diagnosis
    1
  17278. Hi! Yes slightly
    1
  17279. Hi! I would actually consider Awd if you have a lot of snow
    1
  17280. Hi! If memory serves right those took 5.8 or 5.5 quarts. I’ll double check
    1
  17281. Hi! It has a timing chain and it is interference
    1
  17282. Hi! I hope so as it would make sense.
    1
  17283. Hi! It’s not possible as the old system is completely different than the new one
    1
  17284. Hi! Should be the same wheel pattern and thread
    1
  17285. No the hybrid model wouldn’t
    1
  17286. Hi! Email with the subject Chicago service request
    1
  17287. Hi! You have to engage cruise control and hold the steering wheel
    1
  17288. Hi! Hybrids are generally good but not fast. Which engine do they have in your area?
    1
  17289. Hi! Reliability wise there’s no issue. Speed wise it’s a slow car because it’s a simple daily driver that gets you from A to B safely and reliability. Doesn’t need to be fast to do that.
    1
  17290. 14mm socket for the spark plug
    1
  17291. Hi! It does have a bucket follower with a roller. Have not seen any wear associated with these on toyota engines
    1
  17292. No dipstick
    1
  17293. Hi! I haven’t seen issues with them other than those that were serviced improperly.
    1
  17294. Similar yea.
    1
  17295. All years are good with the V6
    1
  17296. It is computer controlled. In diagnosis using a scan tool you can but normal driving you cannot
    1
  17297. This is smaller than the NX and similar to the Lexus UX which a review is coming up soon for
    1
  17298. Hi! Toyota WS ATF buy it from the dealership
    1
  17299. Hi! A hybrid yes but a plug in might not be the case for this model
    1
  17300. It’s too early to tell on color loss but I didn’t get it simply because of it being red. I prefer black looks wise
    1
  17301. It is very similar but 6 speeds thats correct
    1
  17302. Hi! It’s not the same
    1
  17303. Hi! Every 60k miles
    1
  17304. Hi! If the fluid is replaced on time you don’t need to replace the filter
    1
  17305. Yes but how long is that lifetime? Can tell you from experience that the lifetime is significantly increased when you change the fluid. Also in the maintenance guide if you do any towing you have to replace it every 60k or 6 years
    1
  17306. It does have one. There are 2 plugs on the trans pan. One for draining and the other one has the overflow tube
    1
  17307. Hi! A flush is ok if it’s followed by a fluid level check
    1
  17308. Congratulations!
    1
  17309. Hi! Try using another usb charge wire first
    1
  17310. Hi! Yes they did
    1
  17311. Hi! That’s normal as it picks up the downward slope and it holds the gear to help the brakes
    1
  17312. If memory serves right around 2005
    1
  17313. If you are in the Chicago area contact me via Instagram or facebook
    1
  17314. The 4Runner might have a slight edge on reliability and off road
    1
  17315. Hi! Honestly I don’t have experience with that. A few viewers who modify their 4runners might chime in. All I can say is try it first and replace/modify as needed not just because
    1
  17316. I have a video which explains it. https://youtu.be/eRxSu4-4ojo
    1
  17317. Some LX and GX models
    1
  17318. Hi! Yes it is
    1
  17319. Hi! So I’m thinking it’s normal. They are a bit clunky when they shift
    1
  17320. Hi! How many miles and was the fluid replaced?
    1
  17321. Hi! The trans in the 3rd gen Tacoma is ok a bit clunky and had a few issues initially that were solved with software updates
    1
  17322. It’s good but did have a few issues with shifting early on
    1
  17323. Hi! They are very different. The transmission in your highlander is also a very good transmission.
    1
  17324. Yes then towing in 4th is ideal for lower trans temps
    1
  17325. Tow something behind you or tow the runner itself?
    1
  17326. Yes on some GX and LX models
    1
  17327. Hi! Email with the subject Chicago service request
    1
  17328. Hi! No it’s on the side of the transmission on the outside
    1
  17329. Hi! The previous generation 4Runner is actually very similar mechanically to the new one. Which issues do you have with your 4Runner?
    1
  17330. The v8 model has the 5 speed since 2003 the the v6 got it as well in 2006 and up
    1
  17331. Honestly if you’re happy with it and you don’t have rust issues I would keep it.
    1
  17332. Hi! The GX is epic honestly. Review coming very soon
    1
  17333. Highlanders are good
    1
  17334. Use original fluid and don’t worry about the filter
    1
  17335. I believe around 2005-2006 somewhere around there I’ll check
    1
  17336. Opinions vary on this. In my opinion it’s a comfortable ride but not sporty at all
    1
  17337. Yes all 4Runner trims have the same transmission
    1
  17338. Hi! Supplier issue. The motors get noisy and an updated part is available
    1
  17339. I would use oem WS ATF
    1
  17340. Hi! If the fluid is changed every 60k you really don’t need to change it
    1
  17341. At this time Carista doesn't seem to support live data for toyota
    1
  17342. They usually don’t monitor it.
    1
  17343. Hi! I am not really familiar with one that works with the hi ace
    1
  17344. Unfortunately no. This tool doesn’t have live data yet
    1
  17345. Hi! You’d have to check their website for compatibility
    1
  17346. Hi! It works but has no support and essentially is a hacked version
    1
  17347. Unfortunately no. The programming so far is TPMS only.
    1
  17348. You’d have to check their website for compatibility but likely no.
    1
  17349. Hi! No this tool can’t do that
    1
  17350. Hi! Not really familiar with that message. On the scan tool depends on what you need from the scan tool
    1
  17351. I haven’t really tried the thinkdiag
    1
  17352. At this no. They recently announced live Data and I haven’t tested it yet
    1
  17353. @flagmichael that is the million dollar question and one that embarrassingly an alarming number of dealership get wrong. No Toyota smart key is single use. When you program the key to a car, the car ID gets written on the key for security. However if you do a smart code reset or also called reseeding the immobilizer with the key in proximity of the car, it will actually rewrite the car ID in the key. The smart code reset is what’s used when you lose all keys. This cannot be done without an active techstream from the dealership or through Toyota because it leaves a paperwork trail to prevent theft. But there’s another catch. Some dealerships charge more to reset the smart code than what it costs to buy and program a new key.. go figure
    1
  17354. Hi! Unfortunately this one is not capable of programming keys. Most the cost at the dealership is the key itself
    1
  17355. The app doesn’t show data so no it won’t show it unfortunately
    1
  17356. Hi! This scan tool doesn’t show live data
    1
  17357. Hi! No there’s no option to do that. The way to fix that is to get a resistor
    1
  17358. I haven’t tested blue driver yet
    1
  17359. Hi! I don’t recall an option to change the volume. But I’d have to look into it
    1
  17360. Hi! There’s no such setting to change on the official scan tool. All you can do is compensate the odometer
    1
  17361. Hi! It wouldn’t allow you to program something specific but you change the speedometer accuracy to bring it to the correct reading
    1
  17362. You can do that. The subscription is done through the app not the dongle
    1
  17363. Hi Tom, so unfortunately that can’t be programmed. Carista has access to the provided customization features from Toyota not their own. The auto start stop is an emissions device and can’t be disabled officially through Toyota.
    1
  17364. Usually with Toyota the idle will relearn when you disconnect the battery.
    1
  17365. This one doesn’t read data
    1
  17366. Hi! I have not tested the FIXX dongle. Thank you for bringing it up. In the future I want to do a comparison between many of them
    1
  17367. I would open the app create the account which is free then download the update and install it then delete the app. Unfortunately that’s the only way
    1
  17368. Hi! Is the screen that comes up is asking for an update?
    1
  17369. I see. Any other codes for ABS?
    1
  17370. That one will be hard to diagnose in this format. I would record it as best as you can with your phone and show it to the dealership
    1
  17371. Ok. That is likely air in the system. Record it with your phone and show it to the dealership they’ll bleed the brake system
    1
  17372. Hi! I haven’t yet
    1
  17373. Hi! the customizations are reversible and won’t cause damage. Just take a picture of the option your changing so if you change something and you don’t like it, you can know which one you changed to change it back
    1
  17374. Hi! Carista removed their listing from Amazon. I would visit their website if you’re interested
    1
  17375. Hi! First I would do is replace the compressor magnetic clutch relay and see if this takes care of it
    1
  17376. You should be able to completely turn them off and permanently without using techstream
    1
  17377. Hi! You can turn off lane keep assist and steering assist through the screen in the gauge cluster.
    1
  17378. Techinfo.Toyota.com that’s the official way. There are hacked versions but there’s a possibly they won’t work with the newest models.
    1
  17379. Hi! I let the company know already. I’ll update when I hear something.
    1
  17380. It won’t void your warranty
    1
  17381. Hi! Honestly if all the features are supported for your model I think it’s worth it.
    1
  17382. I hear you!
    1
  17383. Thank you Mathew!
    1
  17384. Hi! I haven’t checked if that’s a feature you can turn off. Don’t recall seeing such option on techstream id need to check
    1
  17385. This one does not although the company was beta testing live data don’t know if they’re done or not
    1
  17386. I’ll let them know
    1
  17387. They’re working on the discount code for other areas. Where you located so I can rely the information to them?
    1
  17388. Hi! The master light in Toyota doesn’t produce codes. It just indicates that other systems have issues.
    1
  17389. Unfortunately no.
    1
  17390. Hi! Thank you for watching my channel! Which features are you looking for?
    1
  17391. Hi! No this tool doesn’t have that capability
    1
  17392. Hi! The company doesn’t sell their tool on Amazon anymore.
    1
  17393. Hi! They pulled it off Amazon but it’s still available on their website
    1
  17394. Hi! Turning off the seat belt warning does not turn off the air bag. You can do the same for the drivers seat and rear seats for models equipped.
    1
  17395. Interesting. You should try it
    1
  17396. Hi! They pulled them off of Amazon for some reason
    1
  17397. Hi Marjan! Thank you for sharing. What kind of features you like the most about the OBDLINK? Curious as in the future I might do a comparison video
    1
  17398. It might not be capable of don’t advanced codes for the prime
    1
  17399. Hi! They removed their listing from Amazon. Their website is the place to buy it now.
    1
  17400. Hi! I haven’t tested it myself however knowing the system there’s no accurate way to check it
    1
  17401. Hi! Honestly there’s not concrete and accurate way to know the exact life of the hybrid battery. Looking at the age and mileage of the car it should be good. I would check the filter, if it looks clean then that’s a good sign if it’s clogged then likely it was not serviced and I would leave that car
    1
  17402. I haven’t tried it personally but many viewers spoken highly of blue driver on data reading
    1
  17403. If they don’t list it then they might not support it yet
    1
  17404. Carista has a compatibility list on their website
    1
  17405. They do give you a month free trial and if you don’t subscribe it’s still a code reader with the option to subscribe when you need more features.
    1
  17406. Hi! I usually use techstream which is the official Toyota scan tool but I am researching scan tools for a video
    1
  17407. Hi! There’s a customization for that but I’d have to check on your model car to see if it’s available.
    1
  17408. Hi! They’ll be more expensive I did a review for the D7
    1
  17409. Yes they do.
    1
  17410. I’m not sure if it’s a law on parts. For engines and transmissions they need to have a certain tamper proof sticker because they carry a VIN number
    1
  17411. Hi! Hard to diagnose this issue in this format as it needs some diagnosis
    1
  17412. Hi! There’s a big difference between the stickers on factory parts and replacement parts sold as individual parts. The factory parts usually wil have the Toyota part number and the supplier part number. The replacement parts will have a unique sticker that only has the toyota part number.
    1
  17413. Exposure to sun and elements over a period of time
    1
  17414. Hi Jim. Stay with the same oil you’ve been using. There’s a small risk of leaks when switching at high mileage.

  17415. No. These are the original tires
    1
  17416. Date code was not visible without lowering it
    1
  17417. Hi! Yes there is an enterprise close by
    1
  17418. Hi! I have a video for that find it here https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=adRFPUFJDoo
    1
  17419. Hi! This code will need some diagnosis. Check all valves and check for evap leaks
    1
  17420. Hi! If it’s not dripping on the floor I would clean it and reinspect in a few months to get an idea how much is it actually leaking.
    1
  17421. Hi! Factory rotor quality has dropped over the years but they’re still way better than other manufacturers. They’re still thick and can be resurfaced at least once if not 2-3 times if they’re not rusty
    1
  17422. Hi! The highlander with the V6 is nice. The new one with the 4 cylinder has good bones but the turbo remains to be seen. The 4 cylinder in the rav4 is very good.
    1
  17423. Age and exposure to the sun for so long
    1
  17424. Hi! It is if the prices reflects that it’s a car that had a major accident. You don’t want to pay full premium for a car with a major accident. If you got it for a good deal and it drives fine there’s nothing wrong with that. But the seller should disclose it
    1
  17425. Hi! I do viewer cars but at this time we don’t offer training.
    1
  17426. Come over anytime brother.
    1
  17427. Hi! When your car gets around 6 years old it would be a good idea to refresh the trans fluid
    1
  17428. I believe they were Michelins . They are just over 5 years old by the date on the tires
    1
  17429. Yes right around there
    1
  17430. Thank you!
    1
  17431. Thank you!
    1
  17432. Thank you!
    1
  17433. Thank you!
    1
  17434. Thank you my brother!
    1
  17435. I second that!
    1
  17436. Hi! These are a bit harder and more recessed in unlike the Prius
    1
  17437. Hi! Not with cars. They have dedicated cooling systems and very smart computers watching everything. The computer won’t allow charging if the battery is too hot
    1
  17438. Hi! I’d have to dig for that information I don’t have it at the moment. Reply to this comment or post another one and I’ll get back to you
    1
  17439. Hi! From what I’m gathering so far it looks like the RAV4 prime has a longer range and likely will be cheaper than the nx. The nx if of course nicer.
    1
  17440. Hi! That’s normal. On most toyotas they’re not sensitive enough
    1
  17441. Hi! It will have a EV ratio where you can easily calculate the miles driven with the engine. Wiring a hour meter can be done if it’s one that can pick up when the engine is ok
    1
  17442. It’s really well protected underneath the car
    1
  17443. Good idea!
    1
  17444. Hi! Emails and social media are really backed up at the moment. Leave your question as a comment and I’ll get back to you.
    1
  17445. Hi! Yes it’s the same A25A-FXS with some modifications to the timing
    1
  17446. Not really possible.
    1
  17447. Hi! It’s not lubricated however there hasn’t been evidence that this causes premature wear.
    1
  17448. Thank you!
    1
  17449. Very good question. One that I don’t have a direct answer to and likely would be trial and error. It’s the same battery so switching the charger and changing the software could be a possibility
    1
  17450. Hi! First is the pressure test. As you drive put pressure on each of the panels you mentioned until it changes, gets worse or goes away. Then remove that panel and see if it goes away. If it does insulate the connection points and you’re good.
    1
  17451. Thank you Travis!
    1
  17452. Hi! Keeping it at low charge is preferred. Fully charged and not driven is not advised for long term health of the battery
    1
  17453. I vote for that too! That would be awesome
    1
  17454. We had one at the dealership where I work at MSRP lasted 15 minutes
    1
  17455. Thank you Brian! They don’t want to push the engines then they start consuming gas and at some point it becomes counter productive
    1
  17456. Interesting. They don’t even have special tools. The RAV4 prime has a lot of special tools which are through the tool rental program like the Supra. So it wouldn’t even be an additional cost like the RAV4 EV which is a ridiculous 15k to maybe sell one or not. We’ve had one RAV4 prime come in so far and sold within 15 minutes at MSRP.
    1
  17457. Hmmm that’s interesting. Is the weather extremely hot?
    1
  17458. Hi! That’s by design. The computers pick up when you’re going down hill and automatically downshift to assist. It won’t cause damage in the long run
    1
  17459. Thank you!
    1
  17460. Hi! Hard to tell as they haven’t been out for 5 years. But comparing them to the standard hybrids it seems like around 10 years with normal miles until you’ll start seeing a slight drop in capacity
    1
  17461. Thank you!
    1
  17462. Thank you!
    1
  17463. Hi! The 12v battery is charged by a charger that uses power from the traction battery
    1
  17464. Hi! The S mode and paddle shifters are similar. Basically makes the transmission mimic a manual transmission. Use that when you’re going down hill and the battery gets fully charged from regeneration then the hydraulic brakes start overheating. Really it needs to be a very long hill not a short one for that scenario to happen
    1
  17465. It’s a truck so there’s body roll but it’s not bad for a truck.
    1
  17466. Hi! Expect around 5 years from it
    1
  17467. Hi! The breather has a cap on top of it where water can’t get in easily.
    1
  17468. Hi! Is the front splash shield loose?
    1
  17469. Hi! This is not my Tacoma. I drove it for a week and I didn’t feel any vibrations
    1
  17470. Hi! Honestly not much. The lower trim Tacoma’s have the softest shocks
    1
  17471. Hi! The sport might have a slight different setting for the suspension.
    1
  17472. Hi! It doesn’t work very well
    1
  17473. Hi! Usually tire/wheel combination for vibration
    1
  17474. Hi! That’s trial and error honestly
    1
  17475. No news on this yet. But it’s a documented issue
    1
  17476. Hi! Have the fluid level checked to be on the safe side
    1
  17477. Hi! This is not my Tacoma :-) and that’s the norm here with trucks.
    1
  17478. I personally am not a fan of modifying anything to do with the oil filter. It’s up to you
    1
  17479. Hi! I don’t see an issue with it but I don’t see the reason why you would. The canister filter lasts the life of the car if not over tightened
    1
  17480. Hi! Krown in Canada is very good with undercoating
    1
  17481. In the future perhaps.
    1
  17482. The transmission is good but can get annoying with the hunting
    1
  17483. Hi! Very hard braking could produce a slight vibration but if it happens during medium braking especially after the brakes warm up then it’s an issue
    1
  17484. Hi! The ventilated seats only take air from underneath the seat and circulate it through. Make sure your cabin is cold when using it
    1
  17485. Hi! I addressed this in the following video of the series. I don’t think a comparison is fair. If you need a truck with a bed take the Tacoma if not then a 4runner
    1
  17486. That could be normal. Need to feel the vibration to know for sure. Compare it to a similar car
    1
  17487. Hi! White lithium grease works
    1
  17488. 22 4runner
    1
  17489. Have you seen any leak around 100k miles?
    1
  17490. These are the value line pads. They are very good and compatible to factory pads
    1
  17491. Hi! Not sure of the red vs black box. Does the part number have the letters AZ in it?
    1
  17492. Hi! No maintenance for the shocks in the TRd pro models
    1
  17493. Hi! That is not a setting that can be changed even with the dealership scan tool
    1
  17494. Hi! That’s not possible to do because that’s an emissions device
    1
  17495. Hi! It can show you the voltages for each cell similar to techstream
    1
  17496. Yes
    1
  17497. Just under 700
    1
  17498. Hi! I personally haven’t had good luck with aftermarket sensors. If it’s cheaper and comes with a warranty give it a shot
    1
  17499. 13.8 is normal for a overrun clutch type alternator.
    1
  17500. Hi! The D8 on select models that allow it can disable the factory security. And the charging voltage is normal but the battery voltage is a bit low. Get the battery tested
    1
  17501. Hi! It does not so OBD1
    1
  17502. Hi! Contact the manufacturer to verify
    1
  17503. Video coming out today
    1
  17504. The D7 is comparable this one is even better
    1
  17505. Hi! There was a contest to win a scan tool and that was the word to enter. It closed and a winner was chosen
    1
  17506. Hi! Interesting issue. Haven’t had this before. You’ll want to report it to your dealership as soon as possible and record a video when it does Happen
    1
  17507. Hi! Yes it should be able to
    1
  17508. Hi! There was a giveaway that ended that was the word to be entered.
    1
  17509. They say it covers 96+ but on the older models I would call and verify because even the factory scan tool does very little on these
    1
  17510. Honestly something simpler like the A30D
    1
  17511. Hi! Yes it would but those cars had limited functions with the scan tool
    1
  17512. Hi! I do not as I haven’t tested it
    1
  17513. Hi! It does work on many makes and models. Contact the company for an exact list of supported makes and models
    1
  17514. Hi! Not yet
    1
  17515. Hi! This company doesn’t seem to say anything like that but I’ll ask
    1
  17516. Hi! Just avoid direct water at connectors and you should be good
    1
  17517. Hi! Are you replacing sensors or just rotating the tires? If rotating just drive it and it will learn the position on its own. Otherwise this tool can relearn the position
    1
  17518. Hi! Last number they gave me was $99 every year. I’ll verify it with them for the D8
    1
  17519. Hi! This one is OBD2 only
    1
  17520. Hi! I haven’t tested it on that one. Some of the older models might nit display it though
    1
  17521. Hi! Contact the manufacturer to verify before purchase
    1
  17522. Hi! The range is 95-114
    1
  17523. Hi! This used to be an option with the old radio. I’ll need to look into it but likely not possible. It was done manually and not using a scan tool
    1
  17524. Hi Marko. You’ll want to contact the manufacturer to verify exact features that you need for the car that you have before buying to make sure
    1
  17525. Hi! Yes that shouldn’t be an issue
    1
  17526. Hi! Honestly I haven’t tested the D8BT yet
    1
  17527. Hi! Once we have them I will cover them
    1
  17528. It does have coverage for european market cars. Check with the manufacturer for specific coverage.
    1
  17529. Hi! It’s in the description of this video
    1
  17530. On the D8 it includes 3 years but I will double chdxk
    1
  17531. Hi! Are you pumping the brake pedal with the car off then starting it?
    1
  17532. Hi! I haven’t really tested that one
    1
  17533. There was a contest for a giveaway and that was the phrase to enter in it. Now it's closed and a winner has won a new scan tool.
    1
  17534. Hi! No it can’t display wiring diagrams
    1
  17535. Hi! That is not possible with any scan tool.
    1
  17536. Will review it when it’s out
    1
  17537. Hi! Honestly these are all good models depends on what you need. If buying used make sure you inspect them well
    1
  17538. How is the consult 3 speed wise?
    1
  17539. In the description of the video
    1
  17540. Hi! Contact the manufacturer for specific
    1
  17541. Hi! That is not possible even with the official scan tool at the dealership.
    1
  17542. Hi! Honestly if the price is right it’s worth it
    1
  17543. Hi! I haven’t tested it on a RAV4 prime. I’ll check on the next one I get
    1
  17544. Hi! You’ll want to see if anything is jamming the motor up.
    1
  17545. Hi! I haven’t tested the EZ400 I would contact the company directly and ask about a pamphlet for both or capability list
    1
  17546. Hi! Did you update the software? I had a similar issue which got fixed after the update. If not contact them.
    1
  17547. Hi! I would contact the company they’ll be able to give you exact capabilities for your 4Runner.
    1
  17548. Hi! Unfortunately on the RAV4 that’s an oversight and you can’t see the pressures
    1
  17549. Hi! Not yet
    1
  17550. The A30 should get that done. I’ll check it
    1
  17551. Hi! You can activate the electric water pump with this tool
    1
  17552. Hi! It really isn’t difficult once you start working on it and taking your time.
    1
  17553. Good catch.
    1
  17554. Hi! Yes it happens all the time. Use a bit of silicone engine sealer on top of the connector once it’s plugged in and that’ll hold it and be easy to remove again it needed. Or replace the connector
    1
  17555. So the black ones are old stock. So they might’ve been sitting on a shelf for 15 years :-)
    1
  17556. Shouldn’t be an issue no. 12-15 is a good range
    1
  17557. Hi! Replace ignition coil number 3
    1
  17558. Hi! I’m assuming it’s a V6 if that’s the case then it’s in the housing underneath the top motor mount. A radiator hose connects to that housing on the front of the engine
    1
  17559. Hi! It’s recommended but not high on the list. You can wait a few years
    1
  17560. Erase the codes and you should be good
    1
  17561. Hi! Check the throttle body connector if you unplugged it
    1
  17562. ?
    1
  17563. This is the exact same on your 2012 highlander
    1
  17564. Hi! Tape can work perhaps duct tape?
    1
  17565. Hi! Coils don’t have an interval. I personally wouldn’t replace them if they don’t have issues. Some folks will choose to replace them because they don’t want to remove the plenum again one day if they ever go out
    1
  17566. Let me see if I can find one in the shop to verify. I don’t have one at the moment. Do me a favor and reply to this message here so I can catch it
    1
  17567. Some of them did but yours might not. Is there a small vacuum hose that goes to the mount in the front? Or to the air box?
    1
  17568. Hi! Is it a small one or a larger one and is it open?
    1
  17569. That could be a factor. You need an alignment after the rack and pinion replacement
    1
  17570. I would check the speed sensors and make sure the tires are matching
    1
  17571. Hi! Does it happen randomly as you drive?
    1
  17572. Hi! The plugs will start to show wear after that. I wouldn’t replace the belt if it doesn’t have obvious signs of cracking or dry rot
    1
  17573. Hi! They are exactly the same spark plugs
    1
  17574. Hi! It’s a snap on digital torque wrench
    1
  17575. Hi! Hybrids are fun with the EGR
    1
  17576. Hi! If you’re doing this yourself no
    1
  17577. Yes it is with the EGR in the way
    1
  17578. Hi! Most models that have this engine every 10 years or 120k miles
    1
  17579. I wouldn’t use aftermarket gaskets on this. It’s not worth iy
    1
  17580. Hi! Oil leaks and coolant leaks is about it.
    1
  17581. I’ll double check it
    1
  17582. That’s actually not bad.
    1
  17583. I personally wouldn’t. What were the prices they quoted you?
    1
  17584. On that engine it’s harder to do it without removing the plenum
    1
  17585. Hi! This won’t work as that’s a different engine. It’s similar but the brackets are different for the plenum
    1
  17586. Some carbon is normal with age but excessive is not good that engine you have is not known for carbon build up but depending on how it was driven it can develop it
    1
  17587. I would take one of the spark plugs and use an inspection camera to look how the combustion chamber is. If it looks relatively clean without excessive carbon build up then you’re good. If it has it consider using an induction service. It won’t do miracles but it will help a bit
    1
  17588. Hi! It’s up to 1.5 inches long guesstimating. You can use anti seize on it but really it won’t serve any purpose as these don’t really seize up
    1
  17589. Good idea!
    1
  17590. Hi! It does apply to your 2014 sienna.
    1
  17591. Hi! I don’t really know any mechanics in your area
    1
  17592. It wouldn’t damage the engine
    1
  17593. Hi! Unbolted in this case is easier
    1
  17594. The engine would rev it as if you’re giving it extra gas. The rear AF sensor is a bit hard to get to without a lift you’ll need to get to it from the bottom
    1
  17595. I wouldn’t discard the bracket
    1
  17596. I’ve never seen a Toyota plug out of the box that the gap is not right. That’s why I recommend them
    1
  17597. It could be. If it comes again take out the spark plug and see how it looks and go from there
    1
  17598. Hi! It will eventually reset on its own but not right Away
    1
  17599. Hi! Yes that’s the same engine and procedure for your 2011 Avalon
    1
  17600. Sounds about right. Usually it pays 2-2.5 hours labor plus parts
    1
  17601. If you have a number or mark on the tip of the plug then it’s factory original if it doesn’t like this video then they’re not
    1
  17602. Hi! You want to replace them to prevent vacuum leaks in the future. I would buy the gaskets original from Toyota
    1
  17603. Hi! I would replace the gaskets if they’re black not orange for sure and I highly recommend replacing them if they’re original. You do all this job why not spend a few bucks for some gaskets. The spark plugs are pre gapped and you shouldn’t change the gap on iridium spark plugs as that damages the tip.
    1
  17604. I have some recommendations on my Amazon affiliate store and adding more here’s the link http://www.Amazon.com/shop/thecarcarenut
    1
  17605. Hi! I’m in the Chicago area.
    1
  17606. Not really. They make good contact and not known to stick
    1
  17607. I think around 2 hours of labor. Labor cost will vary greatly by area. Spark plugs average 10-15 bucks each.
    1
  17608. You could squeeze one of them out but honestly it’s not worth as you risk damaging things. Just remove the plenum. Looks harder than it is
    1
  17609. Thank you for watching! So on the hybrid transmission and differential I would go by your actual trans level not by a measured amount. So you want to fill them until they overflow and then let them drain out until they stop and then close the fill plug
    1
  17610. Thank you for watching! Here’s a video with more information about me https://youtu.be/BvBr1UQRWck
    1
  17611. Perhaps try to find a way to secure it down as best as possible even if it doesn’t look pretty
    1
  17612. If you’re looking directly at it the air comes from the bottom to the top
    1
  17613. Ok in this case I would like to at least make sure that the filter is not lifted where it’s letting air pass through that’s not filtered
    1
  17614. Can you see the filter clearly through the gap?
    1
  17615. Hi! Do you have other clips holding the air box?
    1
  17616. Because under the high heat it ends up seizing the plugs. Also it can change or alter the torque you’re applying to the plug
    1
  17617. Hi! They are the same coils from a 2008 Camry or Avalon v6
    1
  17618. I would have the calibration done on the valvematic first
    1
  17619. Hi! Is it a valvematic engine or non valvematic? Also do you have any warning lights on?
    1
  17620. Techinfo.Toyota.com
    1
  17621. Honestly this one is tough to figure out in this format I’d need to see the car and inspect it. Any chance you can take it to another dealership?
    1
  17622. Some engine vibrations are normal with age and not something I would chase after especially with hybrids. I would try to find a similar highlander with similar mileage and drive it and you’ll see that it does the same
    1
  17623. Hi! You can leave your question as a comment and I’ll get back to you.
    1
  17624. It’s very tight to do and honestly if you removed the cowl and the brackets take a few more bolts and pull the plenum.
    1
  17625. Hi! It’s possible but really not worth it as removing the plenum is not hars
    1
  17626. Hi! You’ll need to remove the egr valve. I don’t have a video yet for that one
    1
  17627. They are similar the older 4.0 had single vvti on each bank the newer ones have dual
    1
  17628. Hi! This engine has an ancient pcv system. Usually they have a pretty good amount of oil in the intake which is somewhat normal for them. A catch can helps. Thanks for the video suggestion
    1
  17629. Hi! Yes it’s even easier on your 2011 sienna as the wire harness in the back is easier to get out of the way
    1
  17630. It happens just erase the codes and you’re good to go
    1
  17631. Hi! Double check all your connections
    1
  17632. Hi! I’d do it on a warm engine not hot. And the PCV valve should come with the sealer on it
    1
  17633. Hi! It’s very recommended to replace them
    1
  17634. Most of the time it will cause them to seize. And the repair manual doesn’t say to use it
    1
  17635. Hi! On that one you don’t. It’s a tight squeeze but you can remove the throttle body and you get plenty of space to get the coils out and use that swivel socket to get the plugs out.
    1
  17636. Hi! This doesn’t apply to the 2GR-FKS. Small differences with the plenum removal
    1
  17637. Hi! The 2000 RX is a bit different than this as it’s a different engine. Still have to remove the cowl but if you have a metal plenum then you can replace the plugs without removing the plenum. Perhaps removing the throttle body would make it eaeier
    1
  17638. Much simpler on a 3rd gen Prius. Will do when I get one
    1
  17639. Hi! The plenum comes out differently. I don’t have a video at the moment but will have one in the near future
    1
  17640. Thank you for watching Randy! That’s pretty close to me!
    1
  17641. I’ll see if I can get one to film with. The 09 sienna will be exactly the same as this video
    1
  17642. Hi! The RX330 has a 3MZ engine which is different than this one. Not too hard just the power steering line is in the way for the 14mm bolt holding the plenum in.
    1
  17643. Hi! Only the front mount is active
    1
  17644. It’s possible or you left a vacuum hose unplugged
    1
  17645. Hi! If one coil goes out and you’re doing this job yourself I would replace the three and be done with it.
    1
  17646. Ok. You’ll need to erase the engine codes or just drive it until they clear and the skid control light will go off as well.
    1
  17647. So when you look straight at the connector with the lock up it will be from left to right green, tan, brown , tan with black
    1
  17648. Hi James. Which model and year?
    1
  17649. Hi! Pull one of the front easy spark plugs and look at the tip of the plug. Does it have any lettering printed on it?
    1
  17650. Hi! It could be the tube itself leaking which is a difficult job or the valve cover tube seals which is not likely. Is the oil from the top of the tube to the bottom or just the bottom?
    1
  17651. There’s a slight variance in part numbers between models. I would look them up on parts.Toyota.com
    1
  17652. Hi! Likely the vacuum leak just erase them
    1
  17653. Does it continuously misfire?
    1
  17654. Then it’s likely not a coil. Swap injectors?
    1
  17655. Hi! Ideally you’d want to swap the coil first maybe swap it to the front so it’s easy to replace once you verify it’s indeed the issue
    1
  17656. Hi! Usually I recommend spark plug replacement when the engine is out as there’s no labor charge to do so
    1
  17657. Hi! Just keep up the maintenance
    1
  17658. Hi Stephen! So iridium spark plugs can’t be gapped as that damages the tip. Original spark plugs come pre gapped
    1
  17659. Hi! Only one pcv valve on this engine
    1
  17660. Hi! At this time I don’t but hope I get one in the future
    1
  17661. I use a snap on digital one with angle meter. Overkill for DIY but possibly the best torque wrench ever made.
    1
  17662. Hi! I don’t have a video for those yet
    1
  17663. Usually 2-3 hours of labor on this engine
    1
  17664. Hi! You can use a magnet to get it out without taking everything out
    1
  17665. Hi! I have some on my Amazon store that go that low
    1
  17666. Hi! If the issues been fixed by the dealership under the program I’d go for it if not then it might burn a lot of oil.
    1
  17667. Here’s a video for the 2zr with all the info you need. https://youtu.be/IAb9b3Hrea0
    1
  17668. That is the exhaust side. When you’re looking at the face of the connector where it connects. Number one is on the left. Yellow is 1 black is 2(middle) red is 3
    1
  17669. Hi! I’d have to look it up. Which model and year do you have?
    1
  17670. Hi! Some of them don’t have clamps and some you need to remove 2 nuts of the strut mount to remove
    1
  17671. Yes and other toyota models with this engine
    1
  17672. Hi! If you’re doing it yourself I would do it soon.
    1
  17673. It looks worse than it is. It’s actually simple once you dig in
    1
  17674. Hi! Some manufacturers require it. Toyota doesn’t. You can use some but don’t use a lot.
    1
  17675. I’ll film one when I get a car that needs it
    1
  17676. Hi! Dealership if you want the exact bolt. If memory serves right it’s a 8x1.25 bolt
    1
  17677. Http://www.Amazon.com/shop/thecarcarenut. Scroll down to spark plugs socket
    1
  17678. Lol I hear you. This one is not bad at all. Likely the worst one is the hybrid variant with the egr in the way of the rear spark plugs
    1
  17679. Thank you for watching! Glad everything went smooth
    1
  17680. Hi! It’s planned and hopefully coming in the near future
    1
  17681. Hi! Are you referring to spark plugs for your corolla?
    1
  17682. Hi! Honestly I wouldn’t unless you’re paying someone to do the work
    1
  17683. Hi! Yes it’s the same on your RX
    1
  17684. Hi! The coils are really required for replaced at a specific interval. If you’re doing the work yourself I wouldn’t replace them as they could last a long time.
    1
  17685. Hi! No they’re still the same
    1
  17686. They’re not that bad!
    1
  17687. Usually around 2-2.5 hours of labor
    1
  17688. Hi! I am not familiar with the aurion per se however it will be exactly the same just the master cylinder will be in your way of removing the L shaped bracket.
    1
  17689. Temporarily it should be ok but get a new stud and extract the old one.
    1
  17690. Hi! Are you in the Chicago area?
    1
  17691. Hi! Yes it’s the same for your Lexus just a few more covers to remove which are not hard
    1
  17692. Hi! I’m glad everything works out! The thanks button is being rolled out on YouTube and will be available hopefully towards the end of the year.
    1
  17693. Optical illusion. This was actually a friends car used in this video.
    1
  17694. Head gaskets are somewhat common on these. Not likely something the shop did
    1
  17695. Hi! Which year is your van?
    1
  17696. Hi! Honestly you’re at or past the 10 year mark. If you’re doing this yourself I would replace them. If paying someone perhaps you can wait a bit. Refresh all the fluids if they haven’t been replaced and you should have no issues
    1
  17697. Hi! No mention of using grease in the repair manual and people tend to over use it. I wouldn’t and have never used any and never had issues. On iridium spark plugs you can’t check the gap as it will damage the tip. Original spark plugs are pre gapped
    1
  17698. Yes
    1
  17699. Hi! I am in the Chicago area
    1
  17700. At work I would give the customer the option of replacing the connector for cost of connector plus labor or use engine sealer on top of the connector which will hold it in place but will easily come off the next time it needs to come off because it’s not glue. It’s their car not mine and they need to decide. Personally I would put sealer on top of the connector to hold it and call it a day.
    1
  17701. Hi! Usually up to 2 hours of labor
    1
  17702. Hi! No reason to disconnect the battery because the car is off and you’re not working with air bag or any live 12v wires.
    1
  17703. Did you try a vacuum? A strong wet dry vacuum?
    1
  17704. Yes
    1
  17705. On some models it’s possible but honestly it’s a huge hassle and risky. I would just pull the engine out
    1
  17706. So the one we’re taking about here is the 3.5l yours is a completely different engine
    1
  17707. Hi! Yes it’s the same procedure
    1
  17708. I usually don’t recommend it especially if you’re doing it yourself
    1
  17709. No I don’t unfortunately
    1
  17710. If you swapped the injectors and still the same then it’s not an injector. Compression test is next on that cylinder
    1
  17711. This will need further diagnosis. Swapping injectors from cylinder one to the next is the next thing I would do.
    1
  17712. Hi! Is it a dead misfire or the car runs fine?
    1
  17713. Hi! Yes if I get a car to film wirh
    1
  17714. Hi! Not really in this case. Perhaps consider replacing the PCV valve as well
    1
  17715. Honestly the interior of the LS is very nice. But I like the opulence of the S class and the savage acceleration. Wish I had the interior quality/reliability of the Lexus with the driving feel/acceleration of the s class
    1
  17716. Hi! Any exhaust leaks? Common for the front pipe gasket to leak on those
    1
  17717. Hi! That video was released by mistake. I didn’t like how it turned out so it’s down.
    1
  17718. Lift the car and spin the wheels by hand to find which wheel is making the noise. You’ll need to take them apart and look for any signs of scraping
    1
  17719. Yes I hope in the near future
    1
  17720. A ride that is completely isolated from the road on every level. Both sound and feel. The way the car feels as it rolls down the street. Feels heavy, composed and completely isolated. It’s a special feeling that is usually reserved for ultra luxury cars like a rolls Royce but the s class manages to get really close to that level. If you ever have a chance to test drive an S class go for it and you’ll feel the opulent feeling
    1
  17721. Nothing yet. A few things with the radio but that’s to be expected and not a major thing
    1
  17722. Hi! Once I get a car with this engine I’ll make a video
    1
  17723. Coming up soon
    1
  17724. Unfortunately In this case you’ll either need to replace the valve cover or try a nut sert
    1
  17725. Hi! That’s a customization that the dealership can do
    1
  17726. With good maintenance it should be just Like the previous one. Highest mileage seen is around 120k so far
    1
  17727. Yep! In a 2021 flagship sedan. Old school!
    1
  17728. Hi! Honestly if you don’t have issues with yours I would keep it! The V6 doesn’t have as many issues as they’ve been out for a few years but the LS430 is a really nice one!
    1
  17729. I don’t recall needing to remove the cowl to remove the maf. You might need to move the air box closer to get it out but that’s it
    1
  17730. Interesting. Hard to tell without diagnosis possibly something with the rack and/or steering
    1
  17731. Post it here
    1
  17732. Don’t cut the bracket! I’m trying to arrange for a car to be dropped off so I can film the spark plug replacement for the 2gr
    1
  17733. Hi! I would if you think you might have overtightened them
    1
  17734. Hi! Your best bet is the repair manual at techinfo.Toyota.com
    1
  17735. Hi! Your 14 corolla has one as well underneath the intake manifold mounted on the block.
    1
  17736. Hi! An oil catch can could work well on engines not equipped with an oil separator
    1
  17737. Hi! Older v6 are the 1MZ v6 possibly up to 2002ish. Easiest way to tell is to look at the engine. If it’s a 1MZ with a metal plenum you can do the plugs without removing anything. If it’s a 3mz with a plastic plenum then you have to remove it.
    1
  17738. Hi! You can’t replace the spark plugs without removing the intake plenum unless you have an older v6 with a metal plenum. Video will come in the near future for the v6 plugs
    1
  17739. I could if I can get a car to film with in Chicago
    1
  17740. Yes similar
    1
  17741. No it won’t hurt anything.
    1
  17742. Thanks for bringing this up. I didn’t see these. However I’d be careful with different style plugs and Toyota engines.
    1
  17743. Not really on Toyotas
    1
  17744. You can use either. It doesn’t make a difference honestly
    1
  17745. Original gaskets
    1
  17746. Hi! 15 ft lbs
    1
  17747. Generally they last a good time. Some of them will fail in less than 100k and there are many theories why they fail early. Some is the spark escaping through the plug into the porcelain like the one in the video, another is excessive heat.
    1
  17748. Hi! They don’t age but after so much time you could run a risk of them seizing up. That’s why they’re recommended every 10 years for replacement
    1
  17749. Hi! The original spark plugs come pre gapped
    1
  17750. Hi! Can’t you undo the plug? Use a long extension to reach your socket and loosen the plug to get it out then get it unstuck and back in
    1
  17751. Hi! Not inside. Just place some over the plug exactly where the pin that I pulled in the video to release the connector.
    1
  17752. Hi! I personally wouldn’t but if you are putting some grease make sure it’s a very small amount. Too much will cause issues.
    1
  17753. Hi! Here’s a video for the v6 https://youtu.be/ING-RK7NJ-c
    1
  17754. Hi! Replacing the seats shouldn’t be an issue however the air bag in the seat is the issue. Likely no shop will want the liability of modifying a component with an air bag in them.
    1
  17755. https://youtu.be/DPx_kY5T4kU
    1
  17756. That works 😀
    1
  17757. Honestly I am not sure if Pittsburg does calibrations. On mine I just send it to snap on through their dealer and they get it calibrated. I think it’s 50-75 bucks
    1
  17758. What brand do you have? Sometimes professional calibration can cost a pretty penny. If it’s not an expensive one if just buy another.
    1
  17759. Torque wrench calibrations is something I send out to get done.
    1
  17760. 18 it is.
    1
  17761. Hi! Moving the butterfly fully open is not a problem. Just move it slowly not fast.
    1
  17762. Hi! You don’t have to disconnect the battery
    1
  17763. Hi! I would check for codes even if the light is off
    1
  17764. Should be the same as this one 15
    1
  17765. Hi! You’d need to pull the intake Manifold
    1
  17766. Hi! They are due every 120k miles not kms
    1
  17767. Thank you for watching my videos! The car in this video is a 2014 Corolla with the 2ZR-FE engine.
    1
  17768. Hi! It’s iridium
    1
  17769. Hi! Should be around 15 ft lbs
    1
  17770. They don’t have to go in the same order as brain and the video mentioned. Also plug prices will vary by model.
    1
  17771. At the very end of the video I did start it and drove it away.
    1
  17772. I hear you. The example you gave and the example in this video is a small one. Sometimes you buy a very high dollar part and it doesn’t come with a gasket or plug or something of that nature. Toyota does have a habit of doing this often unfortunately.
    1
  17773. Hi’ honestly this one will need in person diagnosis as the issue is happening
    1
  17774. Thank you my brother!
    1
  17775. Hi! You’ll need to measure how much you’re adding. Recover everything left and start fresh to put a measured amount
    1
  17776. Hi! The drivetrain flexes up as you’re braking. When you let go or the transmission downshifts you’ll feel the kick as it goes back to its normal spot
    1
  17777. Hi! Is the timing set correctly?
    1
  17778. Hi! Up to 20 minutes at around 35 mph of cruising
    1
  17779. No they’re pretty simple. On the Toyota side tundra sequoia and land cruisers can be a bit challenging but nothing crazy.
    1
  17780. Hi! You’re welcome to post your question here and I’ll get back to you. If you’d like to make a donation to the channel, you’re welcome to do so at paypal.me/CCNdonate
    1
  17781. Hi! How many miles?
    1
  17782. No. I don’t recommend it either
    1
  17783. I would start with the sensor and wire. You can take the sensor out and ohm it out
    1
  17784. Hi! When the lights come on you’ll need to scan it for codes and see what’s going on.
    1
  17785. Hi! Is it originating from the actuator?
    1
  17786. Hi! Use a memory saver or don’t disconnect them just wash them with water
    1
  17787. Hi! The small oil consumption is not the issue here. The aftermarket catalytic converter is. Replace it with an original one and you won’t have the issue again
    1
  17788. Hi! Did you buy an original catalytic converter? And is your engine burning oil
    1
  17789. Hi! If the axle is not damaged I would just replace the boots and call it a day
    1
  17790. Hi! Are you in the Chicago area?
    1
  17791. Always fun! Another one is the apprentices first engine job first start tap on the rack
    1
  17792. Good catch. Has an aftermarket company logo so I took it out to prevent confusion
    1
  17793. That sounds normal to me
    1
  17794. Could you upload it to YouTube and send me a link?
    1
  17795. Hi! Likely a power steering pump noise which is common on these. Replacing the power steering fluid could help.
    1
  17796. Hi! It’s possible. Remove the belt and see if it gets quieter
    1
  17797. Hi! Would need to hear the noise. Hybrids make a noise when you’re coming to a stop from regenerative braking could that be the noise you’re referring to?
    1
  17798. Hi! It uses WS transmission fluid not CVt
    1
  17799. Hi! I do have a video for the sealed transmission and for the transfer case and differential I will be making a video in the future for that. https://youtu.be/eRxSu4-4ojo
    1
  17800. Hi! The best place is parts.Toyota.com
    1
  17801. Hi! They’re a bit tight to replace. Perhaps if you remove the cowl it would make it a bit easier
    1
  17802. You should run the engine for a bit before checking the oil level. You could put it in maintenance mode or just drive it until the engine comes on
    1
  17803. It shouldn’t affect the level. You’re good.
    1
  17804. Hi! They do that for washers for production. It’s the same part just for some reason it has a different number
    1
  17805. Hi! Yes it’s the same.
    1
  17806. Hi! I have a couple videos that will help. I have a flat how to do an oil change video. And another one for the TNGA which will show you how to remove the covers
    1
  17807. Hi! On hybrids you can do them late. And only a drain and fill is possible
    1
  17808. Hi Jerwin! Yes it does apply to the RAV4 prime as well.
    1
  17809. Hi! At the moment emails are difficult. Could you describe the area of the leak
    1
  17810. Hi! I have a video for the sealed transmission fluid on gas models. Find it here https://youtu.be/eRxSu4-4ojo
    1
  17811. Hi! The earliest I would change it is 100k kms
    1
  17812. Hi! The one that is lower or at the same level as the axle seal.
    1
  17813. Hi! This car had just over 60k miles. That’s why I recommend you replace it between 60-90k
    1
  17814. Very true Samuel. That’s very expensive fluid! Toyota WS fluid is around 10 bucks a quart
    1
  17815. Similar location yes
    1
  17816. Hi! Yea that is correct
    1
  17817. Hi! Likely an ecvt from a hybrid
    1
  17818. So there are mainly 2 types of similar sized washers that you’ll see. One is aluminum and one is a crush washer. Hybrids will use the aluminum for both the transmission and differential. The non hybrids auto transmission will use crush for the differential and the transmission will have an aluminum for the fill plug and usually a completely different size for the drain plug
    1
  17819. Hi. That is the number that we’ve used at the dealership without issues. Was that a hybrid differential that you’ve used this same gasket on and it leaked?
    1
  17820. On the hybrid transmission it’s just a drain and fill until it overflows and you’re all set. No temperature method needed
    1
  17821. Thank you very much! I appreciate your generosity!
    1
  17822. You can’t connect a machine and do a flush on hybrid transmissions. Did you mention to them that it’s a hybrid?
    1
  17823. Hi! Yes it does.
    1
  17824. Hi! Not on hybrid transmissions
    1
  17825. Hi! I would replace it as the “lifetime” is not defined as how long. But it’s up to you.
    1
  17826. Hi! So I’d invest in a small obd2 reader or stop by a parts store to get the codes so we’d know exactly what happened
    1
  17827. In toyota hybrids yes
    1
  17828. Hi! The one on the drivers side.
    1
  17829. Hi! I am not trained on the Miria as they are not sold in my area.
    1
  17830. Hi! On your 4Runner it’s 10 years or 120k miles whichever comes first
    1
  17831. Hi! Same thing
    1
  17832. Hi! Just the transmission
    1
  17833. Hi! Yes it’s the same for your corolla hybrid
    1
  17834. Hi! Change it every 60-90k miles
    1
  17835. Hi! It should be the same process as this video
    1
  17836. Hi! Is it a hybrid model?
    1
  17837. Hi! If your car is a Toyota or Lexus hybrid with that style rear differential it’s WS. If it’s a non hybrid then it’s gear oil
    1
  17838. Hi! On the front you’ll need to remove the covers to find the drain and fill.
    1
  17839. Hi! Cost is likely a factor why they haven’t done that.
    1
  17840. Hi! Many head gaskets on the 3rd generation specifically 2010-2011. Nothing on 2016+ and the battery price will depend on the trim. You can look up parts prices on parts.Toyota.com
    1
  17841. Hi! Prices for cars are high right now. That’s a good car as long as it had good service history
    1
  17842. Very different. This is a full hybrid with an eCVT. The tundra and Sequioa are almost part time hybrids with the motor assisting as you still have a normal 10 speed transmission
    1
  17843. Interesting I haven’t seen one back after the TSB repair. I would record it and bring it back have toyota look at it
    1
  17844. Hi! When it makes the noise. Is there any moisture like rain or snow?
    1
  17845. Hi! Yes they do
    1
  17846. Hi! It is in the screen in the dash. If memory serves right in the car information menu
    1
  17847. They usually will or should do this
    1
  17848. Unfortunately no unless you can repair the crack and rebalance the axle which would likely cost more than a new axle
    1
  17849. Exactly the same
    1
  17850. Boot kit can cost up to $150 for parts on some models. Axles usually start at $500 and up for parts
    1
  17851. Yes but the 2nd gen Prius doesn’t have a support bearing on the passenger side so it’s very easy to pull the whole axle and replace the boots
    1
  17852. You don’t need to align it. If you disconnect the strut from the knuckle yes you do need an alignment
    1
  17853. Hi! I have both the dewalt gun and the socket on the Amazon store ( link in description ) and the dealt can’t take lug nuts off easily. I use it for everything but lug nuts and larger higher torque bolts
    1
  17854. Honestly no. They’re very tight fitting and will seize even with just a few heat cycles
    1
  17855. I don’t have access to the tool at the moment ( weekend ) I’ll pin a post when I can with the part number
    1
  17856. Toyota axles are extremely expensive. I don’t remember the last one that cost less than $500 except the remanufactured ones but you won’t find these on newer models
    1
  17857. Hi, The older models has remanufactured axles. The newer ones do not offer that.
    1
  17858. Barely brought space to clamp a puller and it’s rounded to it will keep slipping
    1
  17859. Hard to tell without hearing or diagnosis. But axle noise would happen when under load like accelerating straight in really bad cases and in minor cases on sharp turns and accelerating
    1
  17860. Hi! Around $58k as tested.
    1
  17861. Hi! They are similar internally. I wouldn’t put one as more reliable than the other they’re about the same
    1
  17862. Hi! I don’t have information on how to delete the speed limit and the D8 scan tool likely will not be able to do that
    1
  17863. Hi! Do a leak down test first then check for broken valve springs if you find no leaks.
    1
  17864. Hi! They shouldn’t have an issue going over 200k miles with good maintenance
    1
  17865. Makes no sense to me but they have been doing that
    1
  17866. Hard to tell honestly. Do you have anything on the wireless charger if you have one equipped?
    1
  17867. Hi Ivan. I didn’t get the link to the video could you write it here in a reply?
    1
  17868. Hi! This is not exactly a new model so it shouldn’t be an issue
    1
  17869. Hi! Depends on the engine. Some are rated for 0w16 and should use it. While others use it for gas mileage and going to 0w20 is ok
    1
  17870. Hi! Normally no. It could actually be valve adjustment but if it’s nit too loud and goes away when hot you should be ok
    1
  17871. Hi! These are very good trucks. Make sure to check or have your trusted mechanic check it before buying. They’re not great on gas but can last a long time with good maintenance
    1
  17872. Hi! Depends. For me personally for my long commute daily drive the ES. If I had a short commute and actually have the time to take the long nice road I would go with the IS
    1
  17873. Hi! 2021 and up looks like the one In the video
    1
  17874. Hi! They hold up well in stock form. Not sure about modified powertrain wise. The suspension has very slight adjustment but not for track setup just for normal service adjustments
    1
  17875. Hi! Email me with the subject Chicago service request
    1
  17876. Hi! It will need that if the cars been in an accident and things were way off. But just to center the steering wheel you don’t
    1
  17877. In 2022 the sequoia is the only Toyota in the US with a V8 and that’s changing for 2023. Lexus still have a few models with a V8
    1
  17878. Thank you! No I have not yet
    1
  17879. They actually stand pretty steady for storage because they weight so much
    1
  17880. Yes it comes with some rubber blocks. it comes with some high ones and smaller ones. The smallest car i've tried it on so far is a 2016 Camry and it fits perfectly in case you're wondering if it's gonna work for smaller cars.
    1
  17881. Hi! That’s somewhat of a common thing. It’s air in the system. They’ll need to bleed it and see. If it comes back there might be an internal hairline crack in the accumulator
    1
  17882. Hi! Honestly I am not familiar with Kia hybrids. I don’t like to comment on something I have no experience with
    1
  17883. Mg2
    1
  17884. Hi! That’s normal.
    1
  17885. Hi! Every 10k is fine
    1
  17886. Regen braking is pretty impressive. The Avalon being a more heavily insulated car likely you won’t hear it as loud as some other models
    1
  17887. Hi! The more you brake the more energy it captures from mg2 which is the motor connected to the wheel
    1
  17888. Hi David! Congratulations on your purchase. Email me for details on working on your car.
    1
  17889. Ok then definitely don’t worry about them. Most new cars when they come out of the factory they have a bunch of codes that are history that are supposed to be erased when prepped by the dealership. Often forgotten. Erase them and you’re good to go
    1
  17890. I wouldn’t worry about them then. Erase them and call it a day. Those codes have likely been there for a long time unless you’ve scanned it before and it didn’t have them.
    1
  17891. Hi! Are they current codes or history?
    1
  17892. 😂 I think the horn on newer cars is more complicated than the 70 Mach 1! Cars have gotten very complicated but Toyota still manages to keep things reliable even with all the complication
    1
  17893. Ok I would start by adjusting the back brakes if you have drum brakes and go from there.
    1
  17894. What year is your car and what mileage does it have?
    1
  17895. Hi! The transition between regen braking and hydraulic is not smooth. Is the car new or you bought it used?
    1
  17896. Hi! Hybrids don’t lock their brakes when they stall or are off. As long as you have power to put it in neutral you can push it
    1
  17897. Hi! Nothing is needed as long as you don’t open the hydraulic circuit which if you’re just doing pads you shouldn’t need to.
    1
  17898. Hi! Yes there’s no issue with undercoating
    1
  17899. I would say any storage over a month is a concern. I would try not to let it sit for over a month regularly. If it's a one time thing its not a problem. But repeat that often and the battery will be affected negatively over time.
    1
  17900. Hi! It goes behind the panel right next to the seat
    1
  17901. Hi! Try to disengage the parking brake. If not there might be a software update to fix this issue.
    1
  17902. Hi! It does use the rear motor for regenerative braking
    1
  17903. You can vacuum bleed the system to replace the fluid just make sure the car is off and don’t open the drivers door with bleeders open
    1
  17904. It can be but care should be taken because of you get air in the system you’d need a Toyota scan tool to bleed it
    1
  17905. I would only gravity bleed the system with the car off and focus on the fronts. The backs might be an issue
    1
  17906. If it’s the same sound that I’m thinking it is then it is normal. Any chance you can record it and email it to me so I can listen?
    1
  17907. Hi. The transition between can be felt and is odd feeling
    1
  17908. The brake bleeding is similar on the newer cars. Except hybrids are a bit different
    1
  17909. Hi! It needs to be tested but on average every 3 years
    1
  17910. Hi! Could be a bit more specific on the brakes. So you press the brake pedal he car barely stops? Do you have warning lights on?
    1
  17911. At this mileage it could be normal. Only thing I would do is clean the throttle body
    1
  17912. Hi! Does it happen engine running or off?
    1
  17913. Hi! That could be pad shift which is normal. Does it do it again after you are done reversing and go forward then brake?
    1
  17914. So the brake fluid need to be checked for moisture content. It seems on average around 3 years is when it starts to have moisture content but I would use a tested to check
    1
  17915. In hybrids they don’t really get very hot unless you really push them.
    1
  17916. Hi! It could be air in the brake system which is a common thing with all Toyota hybrids
    1
  17917. Hi! That noise. Does it sound more like a spring noise? Or a squawk?
    1
  17918. Hi! Using the B function for its intended purpose which is slowing down the car when going down a hill will not harm your transmission. However extensive use of the B function is not advised. By extensive use I mean using it as a braking function when not going down a hill.
    1
  17919. Thank you for watching my video.There’s no calibration after brake pad replacement. I would look at the fronts and make sure nothing is seized and that the fronts are working properly.
    1
  17920. The and actuator sends pressurized fluid to the rear brakes
    1
  17921. Hi Steen! Thank you for watching my videos. Unfortunately on hybrid brakes rust is a problem. A few things you can do. One of them is take the brakes apart and clean them every year or two to keep them from sticking.
    1
  17922. I cannot find any information on that part no. Might be an alternative for Canadian market
    1
  17923. Don’t understand the statement about dead weight. Brakes have nothing to do with plug in or not. Both plug ins and hybrids will use a similar brake system
    1
  17924. Hi! Yes they do. Also have regenerative braking and conventional hydraulic brakes
    1
  17925. Yes. Treat them as normal brakes. If you are taking the calipers off the car you’ll need a scan tool to bleed them properly.
    1
  17926. Thank you for watching my channel! So that remains a mystery typically brake fluid has enough moisture content to recommend replacement around 2-3 years
    1
  17927. Thank you!
    1
  17928. I would have to hear the noise to tell if it’s normal or not
    1
  17929. Thanks! Congratulations on your Prius prime purchase. I’m overdue for new music! Thank you for the suggestion.
    1
  17930. Hi! Is it the normal noise of the pump running? Or different? More like a squeak
    1
  17931. Hi! You can use an aftermarket relay but is it a relay issuev
    1
  17932. Hi! You’ll want to call the parts department on this one. Not something that’s available in the regular parts catalog
    1
  17933. Hi! A coolant drain and fill
    1
  17934. Hi! The 2.0 has both direct and port injection at the same time
    1
  17935. Hi! Can’t share information that’s not made public yet.
    1
  17936. Hi! The 2GR could have either port or port and direct at the same time. The 3gr could have port only or direct only depends on the application
    1
  17937. Hi! Use 5w20 or 5w30
    1
  17938. Hi! I already have a video for the fan filter for the current gen Camry hybrid
    1
  17939. Hi’ honestly I don’t know of a reputable online source for a reman transmission other than the dealership or a physical location trans shop which gives you a warranty
    1
  17940. Hi! Unfortunately I work at a toyota dealership and recalls need to be done at Lexus for your car.
    1
  17941. Hi! Unfortunately such adjustment is not possible. It would be really nice if that was possible as you are not alone. I see it doing that and many others as well
    1
  17942. It would have to be calibrated. A lot of third party glass companies can do the calibration as well. I would ask them.
    1
  17943. Unfortunately no. It sees that the bikes are incoming objects.
    1
  17944. Hi! You can’t really go much bigger as the tire will start contacting the car and causing issues. If you wanted go with a smaller wheel size
    1
  17945. You can! All the safety systems in Toyota safety sense can be turned off
    1
  17946. On your screen on the gauges you can navigate to a menu that shows you what it’s doing. See if it’s using lane tracing or regular lane keep
    1
  17947. Hi! You need to navigate in the menu to turn it off. Go to the settings menu
    1
  17948. Unfortunately no it’s not available from Toyota.
    1
  17949. For the LTA?
    1
  17950. Hi! Is there any debris or dirt on the camera?
    1
  17951. Hi bob! That message it totally normal. So the lane keep assist which is a feature in your car doesn’t work at speeds below 32 mph and the car is showing the message to let you know that. If it bothers you, you can shut off the lane keep assist and it won’t appear again.
    1
  17952. Hi! It depends on the trim. Does your emblem has texture to it or is it flat?
    1
  17953. Hi! That is normal.
    1
  17954. It’s not bad and won’t hurt anything.
    1
  17955. Hi! Is it turned on LTA? And when you navigate to the driver assist screen does it show two blue lines?
    1
  17956. At the dealership level there’s no update available to add it.
    1
  17957. Hi! P0AA6 is an isolation fault. There’s a high voltage leak somewhere. This is not something simple to diagnose in this format and you’d need a capable scan tool to further diagnose this issue
    1
  17958. You got it. I’ve added it to the list of video topics. Thank you!
    1
  17959. Hi Joel! I actually cover all things Toyota in this channel. Yes there’s an emphasis on hybrids because of lack of information on them but I do everything.
    1
  17960. Hi! You mean the hybrid battery safety plug?
    1
  17961. It is a bit loud but nothing I would worry about as it could stay like this for years without issues
    1
  17962. Hi! The 2003 Lexus LS didn’t have a hybrid model
    1
  17963. Hi! They are overall solid cars. The older ones with timing belts were common to have radiators leaking and the water pump leaking as well.
    1
  17964. Hi! They are really similar in many ways. I wouldn’t take one over the other
    1
  17965. Hi bill! So the fan is hard to get to and involves disassembly. But those fans rarely get dirty because they have the mesh filters as you see in this video
    1
  17966. I would try another dealership. But also do get a video to show the flaring or the slipping when cold if possible.
    1
  17967. Hi! Honestly the shift hold when the transmission is cold is normal for Toyota’s. They’ll hold the gears longer to help warm everything up. If you have a shift flare film what it’s doing so I can take a look and the dealership as well.
    1
  17968. Hi! Most Toyota transmissions have a hard time when it’s really cold. How long are you letting the car idle after a cold start to when you start driving?
    1
  17969. Thank you! I’m in the Chicago area.
    1
  17970. Hi! It shouldn’t have an issue like this after lifting it. Did you rotate the tires or do anything else while it was lifted?
    1
  17971. Chicago area.
    1
  17972. Hi! Honestly there’s no accurate way to check the true health of the hybrid battery. Your best bet is to look for signs of misuse like a clogged cooling fan
    1
  17973. Hi! If the filter is clean I would call it a day. The fans are not very simple to remove in your model
    1
  17974. They’re underneath the seat. Not simple to get to
    1
  17975. Try this before replacing anything. Rotate the tires and see if things improve if they do rotate the one repaired tire back to the front and see if it comes back to verify it’s that tire that’s an issue. Also check the tire pressures
    1
  17976. Honestly they look similar but I haven’t tried to swap one out from the rx to the highlander
    1
  17977. Hi! Did you retrieve codes?
    1
  17978. Hi! Yes it does.
    1
  17979. Hi! It depends on your use. The fan has a filter in your Camry. I would check it every 3-6 months and adjust your check interval from there
    1
  17980. I wouldn’t consider them as good cars. Usually not taken care of
    1
  17981. Hi! Akebono makes good pads
    1
  17982. Hi! That’s a quickjack by bendpak
    1
  17983. Hi! Could you post the link?
    1
  17984. Hi! Washing it if it’s very dirty but regular spray and wipe is beyyer
    1
  17985. Hi! Not if it’s maintained well factoring in the short trips
    1
  17986. Hi! Honestly you’d be surprised. Some cars that are low mileage actually don’t hold up well because they rot and rust very badly if not regularly washed and taken care of
    1
  17987. Hi! I love it other than the fact that it’s very heavy as it’s the largest model. It will fit your ls430
    1
  17988. Without seeing it and hearing it I can’t say 100% but I think I know what you mean. It’s an abrupt rev up from the engine and all of them do this
    1
  17989. Hi! Do you hear any metallic grinding noise?
    1
  17990. Hi! Did they replace all the mounts and were they original?
    1
  17991. Hi! Sometimes they get seized. Loosen the 19mm nut in the middle then hit the wheel left and right with your hand to loosen it and try to pull it
    1
  17992. Hi! many products out there. I would just replace the fluid with power steering fluid as most of the flushes don't do much.
    1
  17993. That’s too much honestly
    1
  17994. Hi! Some tires will have a condition called tire conicity which would cause a pull that’s not alignment related. Typically rotating that tire away from the front fixes the problem but then the tire needs to be warrantied as that’s a defect in the new tire.
    1
  17995. The car would need to be on a lift and the tires spun to see what’s causing the vibration
    1
  17996. Hi! Was the balance a road force balance?
    1
  17997. Hi! No problems to report on the 19 highlander. Any specific problem you have or seen?
    1
  17998. If it’s front possibly if they good will it
    1
  17999. That’s very low miles for a bearing to go out. Any accidents?
    1
  18000. Hi! Which model?
    1
  18001. Hi! When axles fling grease I recommend you replace the cv boots with new clamps
    1
  18002. I would use fluid that’s specific to power steering not straight atf. Any good brand that’s compatible with Toyota is good
    1
  18003. Hi! Hard to tell from the video but check your tire pressure if it’s good then I’d be looking at strut mounts. But it needs to be verified. The XSE is rough and noisy because of the big wheels
    1
  18004. Hi! Could you record a video so I can listen?
    1
  18005. I can! I’ll add it to the list
    1
  18006. Hi! The engine in this case actually stays warm. When it starts to cool down it comes on again if the heater is on.
    1
  18007. The highlander was always less complicated as a hybrid but it did share the same generation hybrids
    1
  18008. Might be a slight vibration rattling the planetary gear set.
    1
  18009. Hi! Solid state batteries are concepts and not used yet in production. Only lithium ion and Nickel metal hydride is used
    1
  18010. Yes it does
    1
  18011. Hi! 3rd generation
    1
  18012. Hi! On some models you can disable it using a scan tool. Most dealerships will do this either for free or for a very small fee
    1
  18013. Hi! For two weeks if the 12v battery is in good condition it should not be an issue
    1
  18014. Hi! Which model is a rebranded fiat? The LS460L is good but cost of ownership is higher
    1
  18015. Hi! It is based on the 3rd generation hybrid system not the 3rd generation Prius per se. there are some differences between the different models but mostly to accommodate for their different size. That year Camry hybrid is solid honestly
    1
  18016. No it’s not it!
    1
  18017. Should be a 3rd generation as well.
    1
  18018. Hi! I advise against switching your halogen fog lights into LEDs because of glare. Some aftermarket products will have the whole housing which would not produce glare
    1
  18019. Hi! Should be a small tab to disengage the terminal
    1
  18020. Do you remember the mileage dropping at some point or they’ve always been like this?
    1
  18021. Not yet. Good subject I’ll add it to the list
    1
  18022. Hi! It’s not possible as a plug and play
    1
  18023. Hi! It is on demand and not connected all the time
    1
  18024. Hard to estimate honestly. If they can get the tundra into mid 20s mpg in normal driving I think that would be impressive. It’s still a large truck and no one should expect it to make over 30
    1
  18025. Hi! I wouldn’t just for this reason. On the ES the 3rd generation really does well.
    1
  18026. Hi! Should be 3rd generation
    1
  18027. Remember this in 10 years and 200k miles. Enjoy your Corolla hybrid
    1
  18028. Hi! Coasting and braking will regenerate. In neutral nothing happens regardless.
    1
  18029. Hi! I am not an expert on ELF radiation but asking those who are it seems it’s not an issue with hybrids
    1
  18030. Hi! Been a while but if memory serves right you can lift up the engine a bit to give you more clearance
    1
  18031. Hi! The 2016-2018 rav4 is kinda of a unicorn because it’s the last Toyota hybrid with a mechanical water pump and they are somewhat common to leak
    1
  18032. Which model?
    1
  18033. Hi! Hybrids generally are better for city driving than full highway driving. They are more efficient that way
    1
  18034. Hi! It started in 2016
    1
  18035. Hi! Just on the Prius prime and RAV4 prime. Regular hybrids don’t have heat pump
    1
  18036. The break in period is still there and listed in the owners manual but most people choose to ignore it. Read the owners manual break in section for specifics but basically you want to avoid very high speeds, heavy acceleration and try to vary your speed.
    1
  18037. In some models yes
    1
  18038. I would stick with Mobil 1 for Toyota
    1
  18039. I usually recommend Toyota bottled oil. Mobil 1 works well as well
    1
  18040. Hi! Engine oil?
    1
  18041. Hi! Hybrids only have one odometer
    1
  18042. They’re good cars so far but too new to be on this list
    1
  18043. Hi! If it’s not burning oil at the moment you’re good!
    1
  18044. Hi! They are at the same level but hard to find in good shape.
    1
  18045. The newest one the dynamic force?
    1
  18046. Hi! It will be body on frame and likely a dynamic force engine if I had to guess
    1
  18047. If it’s not far I would check it. But if it’s rusty I would walk away
    1
  18048. Hi! Not a sign of things to come. The torque converter shudder is very specific and happens every time.
    1
  18049. They’re good if they’re well maintained
    1
  18050. Hi! Fluid film works good
    1
  18051. There’s a very intentional purpose of doing it like that. Not going to go into it….
    1
  18052. Hi! Stock tires?
    1
  18053. Yea the battery going weak on these is common to cause steering issues because the steering is electric
    1
  18054. Video coming in the near future
    1
  18055. You can do it yourself or pay the dealership.
    1
  18056. No problem but they’re too new and I generally don’t recommend the 2016-2017 used I recommend 2018 and up
    1
  18057. Yes I meant they can get so bad it’s hard to believe they’re the same as the corolla model that came before and after it
    1
  18058. Hi! That’s a figure of speech regarding the 1998-2002 corolla
    1
  18059. It could be that the hvac system needs cleaning
    1
  18060. Hi! Do you have the same smell when the ac is on?
    1
  18061. Hi! I did a few reviews on multiple generations of sienna vans find them here https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeFzfl0Q8rQUy9XXwsTDP44mSCssiNlui
    1
  18062. The sienna if not rusty honestly will be a better option.
    1
  18063. Hi! Email with the subject Chicago service request
    1
  18064. 03-04 are good but the 05-08 had some changes to make them better namely with the evap system
    1
  18065. It’s a high cost honestly. Prices will vary by area
    1
  18066. It’s possible it’s a torque converter shudder
    1
  18067. Does it stop shaking if you accelerate harder?
    1
  18068. Hi! Is it shuddering?
    1
  18069. Hi! Does it happen as you start the car?
    1
  18070. Hi! Unfortunately they’re not sold in the US so I have very limited information on them
    1
  18071. Hi! Good car especially the V6
    1
  18072. They’re good cars very similar to the Camry
    1
  18073. Hi! With spotty maintenance they can develop oil burning on the 4 cylinder
    1
  18074. Hi! The V6 is reliable. Less prone to oil consumption with bad maintenance but can be harder to work on
    1
  18075. Hi! It’s a good model. Some oil leaks from the power steering is what I would watch for. Otherwise it’s a good car as long as it was taken care of
    1
  18076. Hi! This model is not sold in my area so I’m not very familiar with it
    1
  18077. Hybrids as well
    1
  18078. Hoping to start Lexus content soon
    1
  18079. Hi! Recalls are a one time deal. You fix it and it’s done. They are good cars if taken care of
    1
  18080. Hi! Nothing but if you’re buying one today a few improvements on the 2004 and up are worth it
    1
  18081. Hi! These can run forever with good maintenance and care
    1
  18082. Hi! It’s a good idea to inspect it yearly and preferably before you go into the winter season to touch up any needed areas
    1
  18083. I like it! They’ve been solid so far and just going out of warranty now
    1
  18084. Hi! Good car if taken care of. They do have a few things to watch for as they get older and have miles. I have a video on their common problems
    1
  18085. Hi! These are good if they’ve been taken care of. Do get a pre purchase inspection for it to be on the safe side
    1
  18086. Hi! If it’s in good shape they’re good cars
    1
  18087. Different engines
    1
  18088. Hi! The 2AZ still had the same issues up to 2015 Scion xB which was as far as I know the last model with that engine
    1
  18089. Hi! The CVT is good don’t worry.
    1
  18090. Hi! I encourage you to check the filter yourself and very month to three months
    1
  18091. Hi! The 2003-2004 are good but major improvements to the evap system happened. Also the engine was improved overall
    1
  18092. I have a few videos on different model siennas. Find them here https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeFzfl0Q8rQUy9XXwsTDP44mSCssiNlui
    1
  18093. They’re good but have their common issues
    1
  18094. Email with the subject Chicago service request
    1
  18095. Hi! That’s somewhat common with these. I wouldn’t worry to much about it
    1
  18096. That v6 is not known for oil consumption issues
    1
  18097. So far so good.
    1
  18098. Finding one is hard but they’re getting old and of course they’ll have some issues
    1
  18099. Rust applies to all of them regardless
    1
  18100. Hi! They share powertrain but the RAV4 had a different platform up until TNGA. The suspension is different though to make it sit higher
    1
  18101. Hi! We’ll get to scion at some point in the near future
    1
  18102. Hi! Which model?
    1
  18103. Thank you!
    1
  18104. I honestly don’t have experience with Honda Odyssey
    1
  18105. Good car if it’s well maintained and passes a used car inspection.
    1
  18106. They are good in their segment however their overall ownership cost is typically higher than say a sedan or an suv
    1
  18107. It’s good. They do have a few common issues but with good maintenance they’re a good buy
    1
  18108. They’re very good cars. Too bad they’re discontinuing them
    1
  18109. Not always. If the 2AZ’s been fixed with updated pistons and rings it’s actually a solid engine otherwise especially in the later years
    1
  18110. Hi! Planning a video for that soon
    1
  18111. They are good in their class. But compared to other models they do have a slightly higher cost of ownership
    1
  18112. Hi! Up to 2015 is affected by the campaign if memory serves right
    1
  18113. Hi! The 2017 and early 2018 had some transmission issues with the 8 speed transmission.
    1
  18114. They're not really hard to find parts for. Mileage is irrelevant to living on borrowed time. It's how things were taken care of during their life.
    1
  18115. Hi! They’re overall good cars.
    1
  18116. No. Either port only or D4S
    1
  18117. Then it’s not valvematic.
    1
  18118. Hi! Does it say valvematic on the engine cover ?
    1
  18119. Hi! 1999 are ok but the 2000-2001 had a few improvements in my opinion
    1
  18120. Hi! They’re not know for it but without changing the fluid every 60k miles it could develop it
    1
  18121. That Camry is a very good car. Rust is not kind to it though
    1
  18122. Hi! I won’t ignore you! I know that it’s incorrect. There’s a reason for it and it bothers me too but have to go with it this way 😉
    1
  18123. Hi! I wouldn’t be concerned. Congratulations on your purchase and I hope you enjoy the car and it serves you very well for at least 15 years
    1
  18124. Hi! On the latest one I’d skip the 4 cylinder on the older one with the 2.2 they’re good. The v6 is very good if taken care of. Watch for rust on these
    1
  18125. Hi! Not as much but I would still cost it to be safe
    1
  18126. Hi! These are good cars if taken care of. I would get a pre purchase inspection and if it passes and the price is right go for it
    1
  18127. Hi! It’s a good car they do have a few common issues but overall good
    1
  18128. Hi! It’s different by model. Which model are you asking aboutv
    1
  18129. Hi! Rust is the one problem
    1
  18130. Hi! The third generation is good as well. The early ones did have a few leaks from the engine that were common but the later ones got better
    1
  18131. Hi! A general inspection is recommended. These are very good cars but you still want to make sure it was taken care of
    1
  18132. Hi! I haven’t seen any cases on 2015 and up
    1
  18133. Best and worst hybrid video coming soon
    1
  18134. Hi! Video exclusive to hybrids planned in the near future
    1
  18135. The later 4 cylinders can have oil burning issues
    1
  18136. They are very good. They are very similar to the 2004-2006 Camry v6
    1
  18137. Hi! The solara is basically a 2 door Camry so it’s included
    1
  18138. Hi! Use fluid film and pressure wash the frame first and let it dry completely
    1
  18139. Hi! We don’t have them in my area
    1
  18140. Hi! They’re exactly the same.
    1
  18141. Hi! They are good especially 2014-2016
    1
  18142. Hi! This is still a mystery honestly.
    1
  18143. Hi! They are basically 2 door camrys
    1
  18144. Hi! They do share parts. It varies depending on the part. Like engines are shared a lot
    1
  18145. Interesting. Did it ever run low on oil and was the lock pin intact
    1
  18146. That went quiet and no further information on it
    1
  18147. Hi! There’s a new computer for it. The engine computer will need replacement
    1
  18148. Hi! They’re ok but they have a few common problems video coming soon on that
    1
  18149. Hi! Land cruiser was left out intentionally to see who notices! They don’t need a recommendation! Find one that’s not rusty and they just keep going! And the supra is not a car I would recommend to non car folks to buy and drive to work and back for another 100k miles
    1
  18150. Hi! That’s a good car if it had really good service history.
    1
  18151. Hi! It’s not the same engine. Similar but not exactly the same
    1
  18152. Yes! Lexus content is starting next week
    1
  18153. Hi! If it’s only on start up it’s valve guide seals which are much less costly than pistons and rings a
    1
  18154. The Venza is good the 6 cylinder is better
    1
  18155. Hi! Any rodent damage or recent work on the car?
    1
  18156. I think if you find one that’s not rusty it’s a solid truck
    1
  18157. You’ll have to consult with your dealership for coverage
    1
  18158. These are good cars if taken care off. They don’t do well with rust though
    1
  18159. Video dedicated to hybrids coming in the near future
    1
  18160. Both of them are good. The sienna will have some issues as they age. The land cruiser is solid if it doesn’t have rust
    1
  18161. Hi! It is a newer model. It’s a good car
    1
  18162. They’re ok. Just don’t do well with rust
    1
  18163. Hi! You’ll want to look up values online like at kbb.com
    1
  18164. Hi! Not much for the plastic valve covers. So far they are holding up well
    1
  18165. Hi! They are good if not rusty.
    1
  18166. The email is the thecarcarenut@gmail.com
    1
  18167. Hi! Don’t really have experience with that engine as it was never sold in the us
    1
  18168. Depends on how severe it is.
    1
  18169. Hi! It could be a VvTi actuator that rattles on cold start. Record a video so I can hear it
    1
  18170. Siennas are great at what they do. However because of their size and utility they do have a few things that I see common with them. Here’s a playlist for specific sienna videos https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeFzfl0Q8rQUy9XXwsTDP44mSCssiNlui
    1
  18171. Email me with the subject line Chicago service request
    1
  18172. Hi! Many have asked about this. I know that it’s incorrect but there’s a specific reason why it’s listed like that. Have a nice day
    1
  18173. Hi! Kbb.com is a good place to start pricing out a car
    1
  18174. Hi! It’s a good car and engine.
    1
  18175. Never overpay for any car!
    1
  18176. You don’t have to worry about replacing it. They usually last the life of the engine
    1
  18177. Hi! It has a timing chain.
    1
  18178. I left it out intentionally to see if anyone notices! They’re epic!
    1
  18179. Hi! That engine if maintained well doesn’t burn oil by design like the newer models with this engine
    1
  18180. Hi! I did a video detailing their common issues find it here https://youtu.be/Ey_hD7PUF88
    1
  18181. Good car if maintained well
    1
  18182. Hi! I did, it’s rust.
    1
  18183. Hi! The solara is basically a Camry so the same applies to it. The V6 is very good
    1
  18184. Hi! Email me with the subject Chicago service request
    1
  18185. 05-06 is better in my book. They have their issues but they’re diy friendly
    1
  18186. Hi! Hard to tell. The LS500 has the same engine and so far no issues but that’s also too new and low volume
    1
  18187. Hi! Rust. I addressed it towards the end.
    1
  18188. Yes that’s normal
    1
  18189. Hi! I did a review on that generation highlander find the video here https://youtu.be/qoWq4TEz3ac they are very good SUVs especially in the hybrid variant
    1
  18190. You should be ok. Sorry I don’t do phone calls
    1
  18191. I wouldn’t. If you ever have a whining noise or harsh shifting call the dealership as it might be covered for free. At this point most of the ones that were affected got fixed. Unless this car has less than 5000 miles I wouldn’t worry about it. Enjoy the car and know that there’s a warranty on that transmission beyond the powertrain warranty, call your dealership for more information
    1
  18192. Hi! They are ok but the 8 speed transmission had some issues in that year. Although Toyota did issue an extended warranty for it
    1
  18193. Hi! I have a review dedicated to that generation
    1
  18194. A 2004 is ok as well. Just watch for rust
    1
  18195. Hi! They’re good if taken care of.
    1
  18196. Hi! Does your car have automatic high beams?
    1
  18197. Hi! Does it burn oil?
    1
  18198. Well you’ll want to know what the codes are. Stop By a parts store like auto zone see if they scan the codes for you
    1
  18199. So don’t worry about the other lights, they’re ok because of the check engine light. You’ll need a scan tool to get the codes to start. Do you have one?
    1
  18200. Hi! Is the check engine light on as well ?
    1
  18201. Yes it can
    1
  18202. Is the weather very hot? If it is that could be normal. Also is your AC running?
    1
  18203. Hi! Visit www.tccnautomotive.com for information and address
    1
  18204. You’ll have to guess it. Press the gas pedal all the way to the floor and it will rev higher than 1500 rpm but won’t red line off course
    1
  18205. That is planned for sure!
    1
  18206. Thank you for watching! My shop is in Homer Glen Illinois which is a suburb of Chicago
    1
  18207. Hi! 95-115 F
    1
  18208. Hi! The new one has a lot of improvements on reliability namely the addition of engine oil cooler. And the BRZ and the GR86 is exactly the same
    1
  18209. Hi! We didn’t do an oil change on the car in this visit
    1
  18210. Hi! Yes if it’s not a major job as I have limited honda special tools
    1
  18211. Highest one I’ve seen so far had 250k
    1
  18212. Hi! If need vin number information to look it up.
    1
  18213. I wouldn’t as they don’t mix well
    1
  18214. Hi! If you plan to keep it very long every 50k miles or 5 years
    1
  18215. Search on Amazon for toyota trim clips
    1
  18216. It’s not recommended for that engine. Gas mileage will dip and possible damage to the catalytic converter
    1
  18217. Hi! Depends on the application. Usually all 4 are different
    1
  18218. Hi! Nothing specific. Heater off and run the engine at 1500 rpm until both upper and lower radiator hoses are the same temperature
    1
  18219. Not needed in this model if you’re using a spill free funnel
    1
  18220. Other than using a machine no there’s no torque converter drain
    1
  18221. Hi! If you change the fluid on time you don’t have to replace the filter on Toyota transmissions
    1
  18222. Hi! I would leave it alone at this mileage
    1
  18223. Automatic parking brake is encouraged and it does work in perfect timing
    1
  18224. Hi! Let the engine idle for a few minutes. Coolant warms up and it warms the transmission fluid
    1
  18225. Hi! On the transmission fluid? The first item is the parking pawl and it does apply to your model
    1
  18226. Hi you can
    1
  18227. Hi! I would get it changed very soon.
    1
  18228. Hi! When stopped in a torque converter automatic transmission the clutches are not turning just the torque converter is.
    1
  18229. Honestly I would leave it alone at this point
    1
  18230. Hi! A flush is ok if done well
    1
  18231. You can
    1
  18232. Hi! That would be a bit excessive and actually not healthy for the transmission
    1
  18233. Hi! At this point I would leave it alone
    1
  18234. Hard to tell what’s going on without diagnosis honestly
    1
  18235. Hi! How’s the fluid level?
    1
  18236. Hi! You should be good on the transmission fluid change. And on the oil level I would have it corrected.
    1
  18237. The ones with automatic parking brake just set the parking brake to automatic and you’re all set
    1
  18238. Yes they do which is a great feature! But I already hear folks disabling that which I don’t recommend
    1
  18239. Not recommended. Always come to complete stop
    1
  18240. Hi! It’s up to you. If you plan to keep this car long I would replace it every 60k miles
    1
  18241. Hi! Toyota doesn’t really have USB C ports yet.
    1
  18242. Hi! I would use original fluid.
    1
  18243. Hi! Yes they do and I encourage using them
    1
  18244. Hi! It’s not bad for the transmission. It basically holds the brakes in a similar fashion that you would hold them with your foot
    1
  18245. Yes they do.
    1
  18246. Hi! I would use the brakes. It’s safer
    1
  18247. Hi! It’s not a bad job. Should take an hour or two the most
    1
  18248. Not for hybrids
    1
  18249. When you downshift your transmission and use the weight of the engine to slow down the car like when you’re going down a hill.
    1
  18250. Hi! I would replace the fluid
    1
  18251. Hi! I would honestly consult with your dealership as the accessory world is a bit difficult to figure out without having a VIN no. And the car close by
    1
  18252. Hi! That transmission is different
    1
  18253. Hi! When it’s used for it’s intended purpose it’s ok. Excessive use is not good long term.
    1
  18254. Hi! In your car it should be ok
    1
  18255. Hi! That is normal on the 2001.Camry. I used to own 2 of those and they did the same.
    1
  18256. Yes! That is perfectly fine because that’s the intended purpose for engine braking
    1
  18257. Hi! I honestly wouldn’t at this point
    1
  18258. Hi! If you use it frequently there’s no issues. Been using my parking brakes in cold weather without issues.
    1
  18259. Hi! At this point I would leave it alone
    1
  18260. Hi! Every 60k miles so I’d wait just a bit more
    1
  18261. Hi! Hybrid transmissions are just a drain and fill very simple to replace the fluid
    1
  18262. Hi! In hilly areas you might need to downshift and that’s it’s intended purpose. Most modern Toyota transmissions will downshift on their own
    1
  18263. It is! I would always use it
    1
  18264. Hi! On hybrids there’s no issues replacing the fluid late
    1
  18265. Hi! A flush is ok at 60k miles but should be followed by a fluid level check
    1
  18266. Hi! Either is ok. Flushes need to be followed by a fluid level check
    1
  18267. Hi! Yes I am
    1
  18268. Shine a light at it and see if it shows a reddish tint or a brownish tint. If it’s reddish then drain and fill once and you should be good
    1
  18269. Hi! Honestly at this point there’s a risk of issues developing if you replace it. How does the fluid look? Is it too dark with a slight burnt smell?
    1
  18270. Hi! At this point either a drain and fill only or leave it alone
    1
  18271. Hi Russell! Thank you for the video suggestion.
    1
  18272. Hi! On the sequoia leave it alone. On the LS drain and fill.
    1
  18273. I wouldn’t change it if it’s well over 100k
    1
  18274. Hi! Using it for it’s intended purpose won’t affect the transmission
    1
  18275. Hi! That shouldn’t be an issue. Just avoid excessive shifting out and into drive
    1
  18276. Hi! On hybrids no
    1
  18277. Hi! It’s a 2018 rav4
    1
  18278. Hi! When going in drive or sequential?
    1
  18279. Hi! I would replace it. cVt fluid is around $300
    1
  18280. Hi! Is it parked on an incline or decline? It could be just resting on the parking pawl
    1
  18281. I explained why it’s not a good idea to over do it in this video https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TevK-u3vkx4
    1
  18282. Hi! A single drain and fill every 60k miles is sufficient to keep the transmission protected
    1
  18283. Hi! Transmissions are vented
    1
  18284. Hi! In that case put the car in park and continue to hold the brakes until the parking brake engage then let the brakes go and you’re good
    1
  18285. Hi! Which year?
    1
  18286. Yes it’s good.
    1
  18287. Hi! Yes I would
    1
  18288. Yes! Using it for its intended purpose is ok
    1
  18289. That is correct for manual transmissions
    1
  18290. Hi! The idea is not to come off drive for a short stop. If you’re going to be stopped for a long period of time just park and let go of the brakes
    1
  18291. Regular cvts yes. Hybrids no
    1
  18292. You can change but I would do it soon. No flush just a drain and fill once
    1
  18293. Which year and model is it?
    1
  18294. Hi! At this mileage i wouldn’t change the fluid if it’s original
    1
  18295. Hi! Mixed opinions on that. I don’t think it causes excess wear
    1
  18296. Email me with the subject Chicago service request
    1
  18297. Hi! Yes that’s not too late
    1
  18298. Yes
    1
  18299. Hi! You can. If done right it shouldn’t affect your warranty
    1
  18300. Hi! I don’t
    1
  18301. Hi! Same information applies
    1
  18302. Hi! Check the battery first then try to start it in neutral
    1
  18303. Hi! Drain and fill
    1
  18304. Hi! I don’t. If you change the fluid every 60k you don’t need to replace the filter
    1
  18305. Let the engine idle for a few minutes
    1
  18306. Hi! Using the hold button doesn’t affect anything and you can use it as needed
    1
  18307. Hi! In heavy traffic keep it in drive unless you’ll be standing still for more than 2-3 minutes then you can come off drive to Neutral or park.
    1
  18308. Unfortunately no
    1
  18309. Hi! Which model?
    1
  18310. You likely won’t need anything then. Just give it an extra few minutes on warmup and you’re good to go
    1
  18311. Hi! How cold does it get?
    1
  18312. That shouldn’t be an issue.
    1
  18313. Hi! The flush won’t damage the transmission. They should however check the fluid level afterwards
    1
  18314. 72k is not too late.
    1
  18315. If the mileage is high I would leave it alone
    1
  18316. Hi! I have a video for the fluid level check. Find it here https://youtu.be/eRxSu4-4ojo And for the remote start 2019 didn’t have it, it would need to be installed
    1
  18317. Is the transmission fluid full?
    1
  18318. Hi! Could you elaborate further. When it stops do you mean the car won’t move?
    1
  18319. Hi! On hybrids replace the fluid every 60-90k miles. And on the parking brake if it’s used frequently it’s at a much lower risk of freezing up
    1
  18320. Hi! For manual transmissions yes
    1
  18321. Hi! If the weather is very cold start it and wait at idle up to 3 minutes and you’re good to go.
    1
  18322. Hi! Every 60-90k miles
    1
  18323. Every 30k is ok. From experience you can safely go to 60k without issues with Toyota transmissions using WS fluid and CVT fluid
    1
  18324. Hi! A communication check using a Toyota scan tool might be needed.
    1
  18325. Hi! The neutral position is the same as park without applying the Parking pawl. Doesn’t cause any harm to use it to pull a car
    1
  18326. Hi! It’s not too late but I would change it soon
    1
  18327. Hi! Yes you’ll want to rest the weight of the car on the parking brake then put it in park
    1
  18328. Hi! Tires brakes fluids! Do a full check up. Email me with the Subject Chicago service request
    1
  18329. I have a video with details on that generation. Search car care nut rav4
    1
  18330. Hi! Unfortunately this is a common problem with these and there’s an updated torque converter and a software update to fix it. It’s a lot of money I would shop around for quotes. This is an issue that won’t happen again if you fix it. Do ask the dealership if there’s any possibility of coverage from Toyota for this issue
    1
  18331. Hi! It shouldn’t be an issue.
    1
  18332. Just let it idle.
    1
  18333. Hi! Same thing.
    1
  18334. Idling
    1
  18335. Hi! I would give it a minute or two in cold weather and you’re good to go. I would apply the hand brake just keep holding the brakes
    1
  18336. Hi! Should be 4 including the trans mounts
    1
  18337. It could be a torque converter. They’re not common on your rav4
    1
  18338. Hi! Does the shudder go away if you accelerate faster?
    1
  18339. Hi! I would leave it alone at this point
    1
  18340. Hi! I would leave it alone at this point
    1
  18341. Hi! Hard to tell honestly without viewing the service history
    1
  18342. Hi! I would leave it alone at this point
    1
  18343. Honestly I wouldn’t at this mileage with unknown history
    1
  18344. I wouldn’t
    1
  18345. Hi! They’re both good cars in different ways honestly. Hard to pick one over the other as they’re Not the same style
    1
  18346. Hi! You want to use to make sure the actuators that move the truck into 4WD don’t seize up and get stuck half way through the shift
    1
  18347. Hi! I would change it and have peace of mind and use original fluid
    1
  18348. Hi! No warm up on ECVT. And I would use the auto parking brake as it applies it in time
    1
  18349. Hi! If you have well over 100k miles on the original fluid don’t replace it
    1
  18350. You can
    1
  18351. Hi! Does it happen sometimes when you let go of the brakes after you’ve stoppedV
    1
  18352. Hi! A flush is ok if it’s followed by a fluid level check
    1
  18353. To really push the car if it won’t start
    1
  18354. Hi! That is normal. The car knows you’re going downhill and automatically downshifts to prevent brake fade.
    1
  18355. Hi! Single replacement every 60k keeps Toyota transmissions that use WS or CVt fluid happy.
    1
  18356. It’s a simulated downshift on CVTs it just locks a ratio
    1
  18357. Hi! Most of them do. Video coming in the near future
    1
  18358. Most of them yes
    1
  18359. Hi! Email with the subject Chicago service request
    1
  18360. Manually downshift when you’re going down a steep hill to prevent your brakes from overheating
    1
  18361. Hi! If it’s a single time storage nothing really. But if it’s repeated there’s not much you can do but it will affect the longevity of the battery
    1
  18362. Hi! Does the car roll now when you’re in park?
    1
  18363. At 60k miles
    1
  18364. Hi! That model is too new to know common issues honestly
    1
  18365. Hi! Unfortunately other than checking the fluid condition and looking service records no way to know
    1
  18366. Yes
    1
  18367. On hybrids the temp doesn’t matter as this video is mainly for conventional automatics
    1
  18368. No issues that’s not too late.
    1
  18369. Hi! Yes
    1
  18370. Hi! Many theories on this. The moral of the story is not to neglect the fluid and change it on time then you won’t have any issues caused by the fluid.
    1
  18371. 4WD high.
    1
  18372. It’s not recommended
    1
  18373. Hi! Giving it a minute or two circulates the fluid around and gets thing moving. I don’t advise you try it but if you leave your car undriven for a few days in that kind of temperature and then start it and almost immediately shift into drive or reverse you’ll know what I’m on about with giving it a few minutes
    1
  18374. Hi! Likely not. Maybe a minute and off you go
    1
  18375. Hi! In freezing weather give the transmission up to 3 minutes before taking off and you’re good to go.
    1
  18376. Hi! Which video are you looking for?
    1
  18377. Hi! Not yet but it’s simple. Fill with coolant and run at 1500 rpm until both heater hoses are hot and both radiator hoses are equally hot
    1
  18378. Hi! I would replace the coolant every 5 years or 50k moles
    1
  18379. For the v6 it’s mixed results I didn’t have much success with it
    1
  18380. Hi! It does work on your Avalon
    1
  18381. Hi! Your car takes pink coolant which is sold premixed. So no mixing needed. On flushing unless there’s contamination no need to flush it
    1
  18382. Hi! If you don’t have a problem with heating and overflow of the coolant you’re likely good. If you don’t hear gurgling sounds behind the dash when you rev the engine up then you’re good
    1
  18383. Hi! The thermostat is not open yet. You’ll need to let it run until they’re both the same temp
    1
  18384. My first name is Ahmed. AMD for short.
    1
  18385. Unfortunately this doesn’t apply to either. The 2018 highlander has the updated 2GR which doesn’t have the bleeder and the GS has a different configuration as well
    1
  18386. Did you bleed the coolant
    1
  18387. So the lower part of the bleeder is 14mm don’t remove that one. In the middle is the bleeder which is a 10mm
    1
  18388. Hi! This engine always uses 0w20 synthetic oil
    1
  18389. Hi! No bleeder on the 4 cylinder model
    1
  18390. It’s very tight and you risk oil contact and smearing the sealer. You can try it but it’s 100 times harder. If you have a lift pulling the engine with the trans and cradle is not hard
    1
  18391. The engine needs to come out unfortunately.
    1
  18392. Hi! 4 cylinder or 6?
    1
  18393. You can but only a small amount of coolant will come out and some of them are harder to get to
    1
  18394. Hi. You’ll want to do this procedure regardless if you use the heater or not
    1
  18395. A 2WD V6 RAV4 please 😀 those are fun!
    1
  18396. Hi! I would replace it every 50k miles
    1
  18397. I would. unfortunately the should wouldn’t be open Sunday or Saturday.
    1
  18398. I had the three because these companies keep changing their offerings. The one in the video is I believe the first one but many have said they’ve changed them. Gotta reorder one and see how they are now
    1
  18399. It’s a 10mm bleeder shown in the video
    1
  18400. Hi! In some models that is the case but in this V6 because of the way they’re designed they tend to trap air and cause issues. So this procedure is needed to get all the air out
    1
  18401. Hi! Could verify the year and model?
    1
  18402. 😂 they’re the special kind too!
    1
  18403. Hi! It doesn’t work on those configurations as they don’t have a bleeder
    1
  18404. Hi! Yes there’s a drain in the back to drain a small amount out of the black. From experience of actually tearing the engine down there’s still a good bit left in even with the block drain
    1
  18405. Hi! I have one for a similar transmission that applies to your Avalon here’s the link https://youtu.be/eRxSu4-4ojo
    1
  18406. Hi. You’ll never get the full capacity out of the engine unless you take it apart and flip it upside down. What you take out is sufficient. The other bleeder at the radiator can help with the initial fill but not the bleeding.
    1
  18407. Hi! The store link is www.Amazon.com/shop/thecarcarenut if it’s not working then question to you is are you in the us?
    1
  18408. How’s the fuel? I would get a sample and get it tested
    1
  18409. Hi! This one will need some diagnosis. Does it have any other codes other than the p0300?
    1
  18410. But perhaps a time lapse with narrative could work
    1
  18411. 😂 time of filming a job vs actual is easily 3-4 times so it’ll be something like this ( 2gr timing cover resealed part 275)
    1
  18412. Hi! If you have this same engine then yes drain the coolant then follow this video
    1
  18413. Hi! To drain the radiator yes but the rest of the procedure is not the same
    1
  18414. Hi! If this engine is not bled properly it could have no heat or worse it could overheat badly
    1
  18415. Hi! Unless there’s contamination there’s no reason to flush it
    1
  18416. Hi! This engine doesn’t have a heater valve.
    1
  18417. Hi! Bleed the coolant per this procedure and see if it resolves the issue
    1
  18418. Hi! They don’t. Because they start with a completely empty engine they can successfully vacuum it out then fill it.
    1
  18419. Hi! You actually never need to turn the heater on in this engine as it doesn’t have a heater valve and coolant flows through the heater core at all time regardless if the heat is on or off
    1
  18420. Hi! Only on V6 models
    1
  18421. Here’s a video which contains how to put hybrids in maintenance mode https://youtu.be/_lWLMJ_4G24
    1
  18422. Hi! Not on this engine.
    1
  18423. Bring it over. Near Chicago area?
    1
  18424. Hi! Not yet haven’t gotten one for filming yet
    1
  18425. Hi! The bleeding is very simple on your tundra. I don’t have a video yet but you’d want to drain the coolant then fill it. Have the heater on in your truck as it has a heater valve and let it run at 1500 rpm until both radiator hoses are equal temperature. I would replace the coolant every 5 years 50k if it’s pink and every 3 years or 30k if it’s red coolant
    1
  18426. Hi! Most toyotas don’t have a valve so coolant is always flowing to the heater core
    1
  18427. Hi! I wouldn’t fill it with water then drain and refill with coolant. I would just use coolant as adding water could change the mix in the coolant that remains in the engine
    1
  18428. You can but not much will drain out of them and they can be difficult to reach
    1
  18429. Hi! If it’s a V6 yes 4 cylinder no
    1
  18430. Hi! Yes add some coolant if the level drops but not too high. Keep it just under half way in the funnel.
    1
  18431. Yes you can have them in the off position as there’s no valve that isolate the heater cores
    1
  18432. Interesting. Warm up the car and go underneath the back to find the heater hoses going to the back and touch them, do they both feel hot?
    1
  18433. Hi! Are you revving the engine just over 2000 rpm and what model is it?
    1
  18434. Hi! The FSE variant doesn’t have the bleeder so this procedure doesn’t apply for it
    1
  18435. @flagmichael 😂 🤫
    1
  18436. 😂 top secret!!
    1
  18437. Access my affiliate page and you’ll find the exact one there. Http://www.Amazon.com/shop/thecarcarenut or just search for spill free coolant funnel
    1
  18438. So this model of memory serves right has heat vents that pass underneath the center console that tend to heat up that area. It’s normal.
    1
  18439. Hi! Which model and year do you have?
    1
  18440. Hi! It’s not the same as the 3mz. And the throttle is managed by the computer it’s throttle by wire
    1
  18441. Hi! So after it went down did it start flowing directly through the hose to the funnel with continuous flow?
    1
  18442. Is there a cap for the expansion tank?
    1
  18443. Hi! What kind of cap do you havev
    1
  18444. Drain and fill then run the engine at 1500 rpm without the heat being in until upper and lower radiator hoses are the same temp
    1
  18445. This engine doesn’t have a heater valve to open. Also keeping the heater on will make the engine warm up much slower and take a lot longer to open the thermostat
    1
  18446. It’s very simple to drain the coolant. The petcock is on either the passenger or drivers side of the bottom of the radiator
    1
  18447. Every 5 years
    1
  18448. Will do when I get one in the shop!
    1
  18449. Hi! No you can take out the reservoir and drain the fluid out of it
    1
  18450. Hi! I would just use original coolant without anything additional
    1
  18451. Hi! Is the heater on? And which model do you have?
    1
  18452. Hi! That’s actually correct. The rest of the coolant is very difficult to get out short of removing parts off the engine mainly the water pump. The amount you replaced is enough to refresh everything.
    1
  18453. Hi! Yes 2 is sufficient
    1
  18454. Hi! Check around the thermostat housing and the radiator. If you can’t see anything pressure test the system
    1
  18455. Hi! The old 1GR didn’t have a bleeder unfortunately.
    1
  18456. Hi! No that wouldn’t work with coolant. You’ll want to bleed it
    1
  18457. Hi! Don’t submerge the line in the fluid
    1
  18458. Hi! Usually no especially if you clamp the hoses
    1
  18459. Hi! No heater valve on your 2009 sienna
    1
  18460. Hi! No the 4runner is simpler just fill it, rev the engine to 1500 rpm until both upper and lower radiator hoses are the same temp
    1
  18461. So we don’t have the Hulux in the US which engine do they come with?
    1
  18462. Hi! The V6 after 2006-2007 got better abs after 2011 is best. The new ones with D4S so far are ok, well wait and see how the added plastics last
    1
  18463. Hi! Yes it does.
    1
  18464. Hi! There’s no bleeder you need to take the hose off of the EGR valve to fill it.
    1
  18465. Hi! It will be harder I will be honest as the toll this job will take will be more starting later. It’s good pay if you work very hard and work at the right place
    1
  18466. Hi! It doesn’t have a special procedure are the hoses for the heater core hot?
    1
  18467. Hi! If this happens shut off the car let it cool down and take some coolant out of the reservoir and restart
    1
  18468. Hi! Yes once I get one to film with
    1
  18469. Hi! Hit and miss honestly with the coolant refiller. I would use this method as it doesn’t really require anything expensive to do and works very well.
    1
  18470. Hi! First try to bleed the system the check for leaks and a blown head gasket if it overheated a lot
    1
  18471. The micro bubbles are normal. As long as you have steady flow you’re good
    1
  18472. Hi didn’t get your comment. Repost it here
    1
  18473. Hi! Pressure test the cooling system. Another common place for leaking is the water pump
    1
  18474. Hi! Yes it will
    1
  18475. If you have heat at idle then you’re good
    1
  18476. Hi! Unless there’s contamination you don’t need to flush it.
    1
  18477. Raising the front end will help
    1
  18478. Hi! Yes this applies to your lexus RX450h hybrid with the 2GR-FXE
    1
  18479. Hi! It’s really not worth replacing them. If the struts are leaking or have issues then replace them with but just for the boots I wouldn’t. Here’s a video with more information on the boots https://youtu.be/GFBmt337veA
    1
  18480. Already filmed and scheduled for next week! Thank you for watching this one!
    1
  18481. I’m not very familiar with that model as it’s not sold in my area. Email me a picture of the cover and I’ll see if I can help
    1
  18482. https://youtu.be/zSqnyZZRTzk
    1
  18483. Hi! Thank you for watching my videos. The filter on your highlander will be at the bottom of the back seat more towards the drivers side
    1
  18484. Yes Very similar.
    1
  18485. That depends on your use. If you have pets I would check it monthly. If not then every 3-6 months. You can change it to once a year if at 6 months it’s not dirty at all
    1
  18486. I would inspect it every 3-6 months. Clean it or replace it as needed
    1
  18487. Yes sir. The part no is G92DH-42010
    1
  18488. The 2020 rav4 hybrid is very similar to this one. It should work
    1
  18489. Hi! Likely they did
    1
  18490. Would love to live in south Florida! No more rusty cars!
    1
  18491. Absolutely! I’m looking to secure cars to film with in the Chicago area. All year highlanders are included. Newer ones are easier to find. I’ll try to find one soon.
    1
  18492. That part is a grey area! Be careful! This is often missed by many dealerships and it’s such a simple thing I wouldn’t pay to have it done.
    1
  18493. As soon as I can get a Prius v to film with I’ll get a video out. In the meantime for your car it’s located underneath the passenger rear seat if you slide the seat all the way forward you’ll see the filter. Harder to remove but easy to vacuum in place
    1
  18494. Hi! No need to buy aftermarket. Toyota does make a filter that fits your Prius. It didn’t come from the factory but you can buy one and install it. The part number is G92DH-47020
    1
  18495. Underneath the back seat
    1
  18496. Hi! It should be similar
    1
  18497. Should be the same procedure and place.
    1
  18498. Chicago area.
    1
  18499. If it looks similar then it’s the same. In the US we don’t have the CHR hybrid model so I’m not very familiar with them.
    1
  18500. Depends on your use. I would check it every 1-3 months
    1
  18501. Which Toyota hybrid model do you own?
    1
  18502. I’m looking for a car to film with in Chicago. Once I get one you’ll see it.
    1
  18503. Don De Paz thank you! I’m in Chicago! I’ll wait for Chicagoan viewers to chime in if they’re willing
    1
  18504. Absolutely! I’m actually looking for a car to film with in Chicago.
    1
  18505. Hi! I have a video for it
    1
  18506. Hi! You can head to your local dealership or go to parts.Toyota.com
    1
  18507. Hi! We don’t have a 2019 hybrid corolla in my area so I wouldn’t have the part number for it
    1
  18508. Hi! Here’s a video for that model https://youtu.be/WNo-VXJSg7s
    1
  18509. Thanks. You’d have to erase codes in the hybrid system even if there are no trouble codes and it’ll reset
    1
  18510. Hi’ nothing really just make sure the car is turned off
    1
  18511. Possibly. In the US the corolla hybrid started in 2020 with the Sedan model.
    1
  18512. As needed. Inspect every few months
    1
  18513. Very good question. We’ve asked this to Toyota since they have a technical service bulletin on it but we didn’t get an answer.
    1
  18514. 2nd gen prius didn’t come with a filter from the factory but you can add one part no. G92DH-47020
    1
  18515. Thanks!
    1
  18516. Your 2019 Prius comes with a filter from the factory. I’m working on doing a video to show you how to replace it.
    1
  18517. Not yet unfortunately they are not available in my market
    1
  18518. Honestly I would get it from the dealership. I don’t have an exact size for it short of measuring one
    1
  18519. Hi! In the US the corolla hybrid started in 2020. Not sure which setup you have
    1
  18520. Hi! They’re not known for transmission issues. However checking the fluid level would be the first thing. Then resetting the transmission memory and see if it improves ( this needs a capable scan tool )
    1
  18521. Hi! Doesn’t have any other issues like severe rich running?
    1
  18522. Usually when they do that it’s either a faulty temp sensor, bad ground or a head gasket pushing air into the cooling system
    1
  18523. Noise over bumps with a healthy strut. And if you look inside of them you’ll see cracks or if you rock the car side to side looking at the mount you’ll see excessive movement
    1
  18524. Hi! The RAV4 is made in Canada
    1
  18525. Congratulations on your purchase!
    1
  18526. Hi! No reason for concern just get them installed
    1
  18527. Hi! Do you have the openings in the body for them?
    1
  18528. Which model?
    1
  18529. Hi! They’re used at the factory
    1
  18530. Hi! Usually floor mats are additional cost
    1
  18531. Hi! Opposite actually in the case of the cars in the video
    1
  18532. Hi! You didn’t damage the engine! Don’t worry. You drive light footed and varied your speed. That’s most of the break in instructions so you’re good. Congratulations on your van and enjoy it for many years/miles to come.
    1
  18533. They typically last the life of the car
    1
  18534. Possibly a short road test
    1
  18535. In this case likely not. But do have the dealership check everything to be on the safe side
    1
  18536. Hi! Is your car covered by the recall?
    1
  18537. Hi! Honestly this is not clear on my side. As far as I know the pds service is processed through warranty
    1
  18538. Any foam with a sticky tape at the back will work. Something small and not high
    1
  18539. It is extra here as well.
    1
  18540. Depends on the factory that build it. Most don’t but some do
    1
  18541. Not as much! I’ll check next time I get one. Not very often that we scan them other than pds which is rare these days
    1
  18542. Hi! They typically don’t fall off if installed correctly. And they are covering a hole where the car was carried in the factory during assembly
    1
  18543. Hi! The opposite!
    1
  18544. Usually because the car didn't come overseas.
    1
  18545. Thank you for watching! We just updated to version 16
    1
  18546. Used to be the case but not anymore this hybrid is made in Canada
    1
  18547. Hi! You can actually double check what you saw in the video. Check the body plugs check the tire pressure… etc
    1
  18548. I would ask the dealership. They can get them for you. The May for the back might be an option that has to be purchased.
    1
  18549. Hi! Which parts are you missing?
    1
  18550. Hi! Some RX models are also built in Canada! Could be either or
    1
  18551. They’re good cars
    1
  18552. Hi! I don’t know what the customer is charged and why for the service but it doesn’t cost $2000 it pays around 1-1.5 hours so maybe $250 pushing it at full labor?
    1
  18553. That hole is used for assembly at the factory
    1
  18554. They’re usually removed to inspect for hidden transport damage
    1
  18555. Hi! That used to be the case but not anymore. The RAV4 hybrid in this video is made in Canada
    1
  18556. They are both good but I like the efficiency of the 2.0 as it’s a newer more modern engine
    1
  18557. That is a very good question and almost a video on it! When Toyota first came to the us they were small and couldn’t run their own operation so they sold their cars through distributors. Then when they got popular and big they bought out the distribution except one company that wouldn’t sell which is SET so they’re still distributors in that zone
    1
  18558. That was the case but not anymroe
    1
  18559. Hi! The sun roof shouldn’t leak? That’s not normal. I haven’t seen one leaking
    1
  18560. Hi! Honestly I am not familiar with Australian market car registration rules
    1
  18561. Thank you for watching my channel! Yes the RAV4 is made in Canada in this case.
    1
  18562. Hi! It wouldn’t hurt to have the dealership take a look but when it’s charging there’s more load
    1
  18563. That’s how they come. The keys are labeled by vin number and the carries are professionals who do this for a living. I am yet to see a new car that shows up without keys
    1
  18564. Hi! Toyotas come with their keys from the factory already programmed and working
    1
  18565. For general security. Some will use car vin numbers for shady things like advertising a car for sale that they don’t have....etc
    1
  18566. Hi! Some of them don’t come with the mat I’ve noticed
    1
  18567. Hi! On a highlander they’re only tinting the front windows. The rear windows are tinted from the factory
    1
  18568. The channel name at gmail
    1
  18569. Hi! I’d have to see a picture of it to tell you if it’s normal or not
    1
  18570. Used to be not anymore. This rav4 hybrid is made in Canada
    1
  18571. Hi! Are all the president awards from the same year? If I remember correctly they were awarded yearly and perhaps the dealerships won it in different years
    1
  18572. Hi Ron. Did this happen on the highway when you are behind a larger car or a semi?
    1
  18573. Hi which model and year and mileage?
    1
  18574. Hi! It’s a TSB on the model. Likely can be found on techinfo.Toyota.com
    1
  18575. I’m going off memory here that they were not preinstalled
    1
  18576. Yes they do
    1
  18577. When you put a deposit on a car it is usually refundable especially now. If you have an issue with the car before you actually take delivery you can back out
    1
  18578. Hi! I would have it adjusted it might be a bit high.
    1
  18579. They do have issues with their super white color but even with that they still have much higher quality paint than other manufacturers
    1
  18580. Some dealerships will sublet to another company to do this
    1
  18581. Hi! Usually takes 1 hour
    1
  18582. That’s normal from the factory. They usually don’t paint surfaces that are not very visible
    1
  18583. Hi! Could you be more specific on the area that’s not painted or only has primer?
    1
  18584. Hi! Are they doing a road force balance?
    1
  18585. Have the dealership take a look and take care of it
    1
  18586. Either an alignment or it can even be done on the rack via a TSB that toyota issued to center wheels.
    1
  18587. Hi! Check the tire pressure and the plugs. Check the bumpers and Body before delivery and you’re good to go
    1
  18588. Hi alex! Thank you for watching! That’s likely the left over of the wrap. Happens all the time but detail usually catches it and removes them
    1
  18589. Hi! Could you elaborate further?
    1
  18590. It’s similar to the 4Runner. I wouldn’t say superior
    1
  18591. It is paid through warranty as far as I know. The destination charge is the shipping
    1
  18592. The Camry is usually made in Kentucky with a few here and there made in Japan
    1
  18593. No real reason that I know of. Likely to save time?
    1
  18594. Hi! At least 500 miles for break in
    1
  18595. Oh wow that’s interesting to hear. Now in Australia is it an importer( independent distributor) that brings the cars or is it Toyota itself that distributes the cars?
    1
  18596. Hi jack. I hear you but the dealership I work at Pdis are done by techs only not even hourly lube techs. And new models are done by masters and MDTS
    1
  18597. Hi! As far as I know SET does their own PDS so the car shows up at the dealership already done
    1
  18598. Hi! Honestly hard to tel without hearing it. Nothing that I know of as far as common issues
    1
  18599. Got them and responded
    1
  18600. Hi! Record a video of the sound
    1
  18601. Hi! I would leave it alone at this point
    1
  18602. Hi! The first replacement at 1000 miles then 5000 miles then every 5k miles
    1
  18603. Hi! They should however some dealerships for some reason don’t want to replace transmission fluid
    1
  18604. Hi! Just a drain and fill at this mileage
    1
  18605. Hi! I haven’t seen any yet
    1
  18606. Hi! How many miles and which model?
    1
  18607. Hi! For the break in just the engine oil is sufficient
    1
  18608. For the transmission? If that’s the case then no it’s not too late
    1
  18609. Hi! Keep the original fluid and on those it’s recommended at 30k
    1
  18610. Hi! I would leave them alone honestly
    1
  18611. Hi! Once you get over 100k the risk increases
    1
  18612. It is a simple diy task honestly. The filter is behind a small panel on the drivers side of the rear seat
    1
  18613. Hi! That TSB is correct however putting a mileage interval is questionable at best. Some will need to clean it more often some can go years without cleaning. All depends how you use your car
    1
  18614. Hi! It doesn’t have a sealed transmission. I would replace the fluid and it’s very simple to do so
    1
  18615. Hi! Are you asking about an ecvt from a toyota hybrid?
    1
  18616. Hi! Usually called power outlet
    1
  18617. Hi! It should be ok yes
    1
  18618. Hi! The lifetime warranty always have limitations and not something that is usually very good. Prices are high these days at least it’s a good model with very low miles
    1
  18619. Hi! It wouldn’t be a bad idea to replace the filter
    1
  18620. Hi! At this mileage it’s borderline. There’s nothing sealed about it honestly
    1
  18621. Hi! No those are not maintenance items. For coils replace them if they fail only
    1
  18622. Hi! Then around 6 years consider replacing it
    1
  18623. Hi! Hard to tell with filters honestly as they could say made in China. Does the new replacement one that’s original look similar?
    1
  18624. Hi! If the fluid is changed on time the filter doesn’t need replacement. There are 2-4 magnets in the pan
    1
  18625. Hi! Toyota does have nationwide service record that dealerships can access. Not sure why the dealership couldn’t see the records
    1
  18626. Hi! I would pay out of pocket and replace it. You’re keeping this car for a long time it’s a worthy investment now for the future
    1
  18627. Hi! Fuel lowers the viscosity of oil and causes it to start washing away from places like the cylinder walls and the bearings
    1
  18628. Hi! Every 6 months
    1
  18629. Hi! 5w20 or even 5w30 for that engine is good
    1
  18630. Hi! Yes I would consider it
    1
  18631. Hi! Flushes are ok in the first change or second but after that they’re too aggressive and a drain and fill is safer
    1
  18632. Hi! Maintenance requirements are a bit different for honda some will be the same
    1
  18633. Hi! I would change it at this point
    1
  18634. Hi! It lasts the life of the car and is not a serviceable item
    1
  18635. Hi! What codes did you get?
    1
  18636. Hi! It can go a lot more on the original timing chain
    1
  18637. If they don’t have cracks or issues I wouldn’t replace them
    1
  18638. A flush is ok every 60k but needs to be followed by a fluid level check. If it’s higher mileage a drain and fill is safer
    1
  18639. Hi! See this video https://youtu.be/eRxSu4-4ojo
    1
  18640. Hi! Just to clarify. The brakes are dragging? Is it all 4 or just one side?
    1
  18641. Make sure your tires are always inflated especially when you get a temp dip. Don’t carry unnecessary weight in the car
    1
  18642. Depends on the weather and your driving conditions
    1
  18643. Hi! If you want to keep it very long then yea
    1
  18644. Clearly explained in the warranty and maintenance guide booklet. The special operating conditions are defined and then layer in the booklet under the explanation of maintenance items there’s a note on engine oil used and how it can change the maintenance interval as well.
    1
  18645. Hi Andrew, Thank you for your comment. Per Toyota if you operate your car in special operating conditions you are required to maintain 5k oil changes or 6 months. These special operating conditions apply to most people. Yet owners and dealerships tend to ignore it completely. Have a nice day.
    1
  18646. Hi! I would honestly change it every 6 months
    1
  18647. Hi! Email me at thecarcarenut@gmail.com with the subject Chicago service request
    1
  18648. Toyota hybrids do not have clutches nor a torque converter in their hybrid transmission
    1
  18649. Hi! 2022 Camry XSE Hybrid
    1
  18650. Hi! You didn’t waste your money if you’re planning to keep the truck for a long time
    1
  18651. Hi! I would change it every 6 months
    1
  18652. Both are ok at the correct mileage but flushes need to be followed by a fluid level check
    1
  18653. Hi! I would change it! Find another dealership
    1
  18654. Hi! All fluid changes are ok except transmission
    1
  18655. Hi! Common on these. Get the transmission memory reset and see if it gets better which it should
    1
  18656. Hi! I would leave the fluid alone at this point
    1
  18657. Hi! That is correct. Drain the fluid out of the pan, refill and follow the procedure to check the fluid level if it’s a sealed transmission every 60k miles
    1
  18658. Hi! It’s not a sealed transmission just doesn’t have a dipstick. Replace the fluid every 60k or 6 years
    1
  18659. From experience 60k intervals keep things clean on toyota transmissions
    1
  18660. Once every 60k miles or 6 years
    1
  18661. Hi! If it was changed around 60k then I’d consider replacing it soon
    1
  18662. Hi! Prestone works. The additives are different
    1
  18663. Hi! When you replace the struts I would consider putting new mounts as well.
    1
  18664. Hi! I wouldn’t replace them unless they have issue
    1
  18665. Hi! Do you have anything stuck to the exhaust like a plastic bag?
    1
  18666. Hi! I think it’s a good option for a family and a well thought out and functional suv.
    1
  18667. Hi! You’ll want to take a small sample and see how it looks. If it has a burnt smell I would leave it alone
    1
  18668. Hi! I would change it every 60k miles or 6 years
    1
  18669. Hi! Yes and the differential as well
    1
  18670. Hi! I would go with the 5k oil change interval honestly if you’re keeping this car long. And the racks do last on the newer land cruisers
    1
  18671. I wouldn’t if it shows no signs of wear or issues
    1
  18672. Hi! You won’t cause damage going with a blend or synthetic. Try however you get 5w30 for your highlander
    1
  18673. Hi! I have one already search car care nut sealed transmission on YouTube
    1
  18674. Hi! Check the fluid condition first.
    1
  18675. Hi! I would yes
    1
  18676. Hi! Carry on with the maintenance
    1
  18677. Hi! Both if possible. Sometimes the block drain gets seized if that’s the case just drain the radiator and you’re good
    1
  18678. Struts as needed if they don’t have issues don’t do anything with them. Pcv every spark plug replacement
    1
  18679. Hi! Here’s how to change the fluid https://youtu.be/eRxSu4-4ojo
    1
  18680. Hi! I don’t think you’re over doing it. The additional filter is a bit overkill though
    1
  18681. Hi! I didn’t replace the brake fluid on my car. At least 3 years on the brake fluid if not longer
    1
  18682. Hi Alex. I would do a break in oil change just like you did in the past. And take it easy in the beginning as the engine breaks in. As far as parts unfortunately I can’t help with that but look online for suppliers in the us that would ship to Germany
    1
  18683. Hi! You’re good to replace the fluid. And if the coolant hasn’t been replaced replace it as well
    1
  18684. If changed on time no
    1
  18685. Hi! I would call other dealerships.
    1
  18686. Hi! Yes to both
    1
  18687. Hi! Some of them I do yes
    1
  18688. At higher miles a drain and fill is safer. Dealerships that use original fluid in a flush and then check the fluid level afterwards is ok, but unfortunately that’s a minority
    1
  18689. Hi! Drain and fill is safer
    1
  18690. Hi! I would change it every 60k
    1
  18691. Hi! Your car should come with a maintenance guide with it detailing everything
    1
  18692. Hi! Unplug the connector on the alternator and see if the noise goes away
    1
  18693. Hi! Drain and fill it then double check the fluid using the procedure
    1
  18694. Yes without
    1
  18695. Hi! In your case it’s ok. You likely don’t do short trips and you drive a lot
    1
  18696. Hi! You could change it as early as 30k
    1
  18697. Hi! There’s only one transmission and 2 coolants to replace. There’s no issues replacing them at this mileage
    1
  18698. Hi! I haven’t personally used it but I hear good things about it
    1
  18699. Cost saving is usually the reason
    1
  18700. Hi! In your case time is more important
    1
  18701. Hi! Usually a journeyman technician will do transmission fluid replacements not the junior mechanics but that can vary by dealership
    1
  18702. Hi! Was it ever changed before?
    1
  18703. Hi! If it’s not a first generation Prius then it is pink coolant
    1
  18704. That’s how toyota made the program it’s not up to the dealership
    1
  18705. Hi! Nothing different. Break in oil change still recommended at 1k miles
    1
  18706. Hi! You can use it. However using a dedicated power steering fluid is preferred because of the additives
    1
  18707. Hi! 5000-7500 is a good interval to rotate tires to get the most out of it. Toyota uses 5k to make it simpler
    1
  18708. Hi! It doesn’t have any that are separate. Just the transmission fluid
    1
  18709. Hi! With good maintenance and care it’s possible! These are good cars
    1
  18710. Hi! I wouldn’t honestly. Every 60k miles or 6 years is sufficient
    1
  18711. I think it might be too harsh to do a full replacement at this age and mileage. A single drain and fill is safer and does refresh the fluid
    1
  18712. Yes I would check the fluid level afterwards even if you measured and added the same amount
    1
  18713. Hi! I would just do a drain and fill and call it a day
    1
  18714. Hi! Honestly borderline. I would check the fluid condition first
    1
  18715. Hi! 5000 miles or 8000 kms
    1
  18716. Hi! Before anything a full inspection to see if any repairs are needed. Safety repairs first, then secondary lesser important repairs then maintenance
    1
  18717. Hi! So far so good. I’ve only replaced one that had a hard code for no flow. That’s one out of thousands and thousands that are fine that come through the shop. No known pattern of failure. The thermostat fails on these engines here and there which just sets a trouble code but not the water pump. A few cases of the coolant valve setting a weird message on the dash but i haven’t seen many lately
    1
  18718. Dealership should have them. When you buy the pump as them for the bolts
    1
  18719. Yes the 2010 and yo pump needs the longer bolts
    1
  18720. Hi! Yes if you buy one from a 2010 and up it’s the new one and it will fit
    1
  18721. Hi! It’s the same engine and same truck for that matter
    1
  18722. Hi! I already have
    1
  18723. Hi! Likely not related to the water pump. Any overheating issues?
    1
  18724. Hi! That’s likely a catalytic converter failure.
    1
  18725. Hi! Just keep up the maintenance on time and you should have it for a long time
    1
  18726. It’s a TSB but that doesn’t make it for free
    1
  18727. Hi! Possibly an alternator. It’ll need some testing.
    1
  18728. Hi! That’s a viewers car. Really takes care of it
    1
  18729. Hi! It’s not recommended if possible. If not possible I’d take it easy on the drive and consider a break in oil change
    1
  18730. Hi! Replace the vvti gears. On a 2GR that is an engine out job
    1
  18731. Hi! That engine was not used in any model in the US don’t have much experience with it
    1
  18732. Yes these are good
    1
  18733. Hi! Which model?
    1
  18734. Hi! 1 can is more than enough you’ll have some left over. On the coolant it’s barely enough I’d have 2 on hand in case
    1
  18735. Hi! Email with the subject Chicago service request
    1
  18736. Hi! Check the wiring at the back of the radio and do the other lights on the dash do the same?
    1
  18737. Hi! I did a video on that one. Here it is https://youtu.be/i8FON3-RYks
    1
  18738. Hi! I would address it honestly on this engine
    1
  18739. Not as simple honestly
    1
  18740. Hi! Is it a rattling noise that goes away after a few seconds?
    1
  18741. Before you removed these plugs did you drive the car for a very short drive like to pull it into a garagev
    1
  18742. Is the oil on the outside where the coil goes or in the electrode?
    1
  18743. Honestly could be a few things and would need in person diagnosis
    1
  18744. Bring it up to your dealerships attention. Does it happen frequently or rarely happens?
    1
  18745. Hi Oliver. When it starts blinking does it eventually come on solid?
    1
  18746. Hi! Better gas mileage and more tech is about it. Otherwise your 2019 is excellent
    1
  18747. Disconnect the battery overnight. If this doesn’t settle it you might have a vacuum leak Somewhere
    1
  18748. Hi! Is the idle high only when it’s cold then it comes down? Or remains high?
    1
  18749. The fix includes updated parts that shouldn’t have the same issue
    1
  18750. Not a high percentage at all. I wouldn’t sell it for this only
    1
  18751. The worst case scenario the gear comes apart and throws the chain off and bends the valves
    1
  18752. Hi! If it’s not too loud you’re ok for now but plan on taking care of it eventually
    1
  18753. Hi! Depends which model it is
    1
  18754. Hi Gabriel! Yes it’s the same thing.
    1
  18755. Hi! There’s not a published official figure but less than 45 C is where they usually are. The fan doesn’t have a rated hour limit of operation and honestly I haven’t seen a fan fail unless it was severely clogged with debris where it can’t spin anymore
    1
  18756. Hi! At this time there is but they are getting less and less as the automotive industry is retiring more technician than it is hiring
    1
  18757. Didn’t even look at max speed honestly. High speed doesn’t come in my research on a Prius prime even a RAV4 prime as it kinda defeats the purpose. Stay safe my brother.
    1
  18758. Hi! The parking brake needs to be looked into as it might need an adjustment
    1
  18759. Thank you!
    1
  18760. Almost yes.
    1
  18761. Hi! It’s a brake hold function so you don’t have to keep your foot on the brake pedal when at a traffic light. You can also use it to hold the car on an incline. You have to activate it everything you start the car
    1
  18762. Working with batteries is a hazard and I do have some reservations about making such videos for safety honestly.
    1
  18763. I’m hoping a Camry but more likely a sienna
    1
  18764. On the prime you don’t need to wait for EV mode. In hybrids you do have to allow the engine to warm up before it allows EV mode
    1
  18765. It automatically engages B mode
    1
  18766. Hi! The engine can’t charge the battery for EV range in the Prius prime
    1
  18767. Hi! Was the ecu programmed?
    1
  18768. I hear you. It can get confusing a bit.
    1
  18769. Hi! Which part?
    1
  18770. Hi! No transmission cooler as it’s not needed because there’s no friction
    1
  18771. Hi! It has nickel metal hydride
    1
  18772. Regular hybrids will sometimes blip into EV here and there but it’s not consistent
    1
  18773. Do you a Prius or Prius prime?
    1
  18774. Hi! Yea the video came out today with another part coming up. https://youtu.be/Jb7lwUiDw3o
    1
  18775. Hi! It could be the compressor. First thing I would do is recharge the system. You’ll need a shop to do this to take out everything and recharge it to your correct amount. If not then I’d check the compressor
    1
  18776. Hi! Unfortunately there’s no real way of knowing the exact health of the hybrid battery. Look for age and mileage and maintenance history. Inspect the fan and the filter if equipped to gauge if the previous owner neglected it or serviced it which would have a big impact on the life of the battery
    1
  18777. Hi! You could but every few months make sure to use the engine as well.
    1
  18778. Hi! In towing you want the driving wheels off the ground in hybrids
    1
  18779. Hi! Interested to see a picture of the rust as the rear hatch should be carbon fiber and shouldn't rust unless it's a metal stud that's just bleeding rusty color.
    1
  18780. Hi! You don’t need a resister for the license plate lights and I’ve used vleds.com before with good results
    1
  18781. It cannot start in neutral. If it’s already running it will stay running.
    1
  18782. It is a more powerful motor than the previous generation
    1
  18783. Hi! Safe otherwise it wouldn’t be there.
    1
  18784. It’s a pre determined value that the battery needs to be at. Too cold is not good for the battery and too hot isn’t either. I would have to dig for the actual values I don’t have them at hand.
    1
  18785. Yes! That’s the idea of plug in hybrids but of course a lot more is involved! But it’s definitely not DIY. I am working on another series on how plug in hybrids work
    1
  18786. The 13 Prius has a nickel metal hydride battery and performance wise they are almost equal on your side.
    1
  18787. Hi! There’s very low risk similar to a fuel tank in case of an accident
    1
  18788. Hi! No they typically rotate and come off but they’re almost designed to very easily break if you’re nit gentle and haven’t dealt with one before
    1
  18789. Hi! If the hybrid battery is completely dead the car wouldn’t start, because it doesn’t have enough power to start the gasoline engine. Although that is rare to happen.
    1
  18790. They are both similar with the Camry likely being cheaper to buy
    1
  18791. Hi! Some models do have a clicky brake pedal which is normal. Which model is it?
    1
  18792. Hi! It’s underneath the back seat and here’s a video with specific information to your model for the vents https://youtu.be/WNo-VXJSg7s
    1
  18793. I haven’t made a video for The newest Camry hybrid yet. It will come in the future.
    1
  18794. Hi! If any of the blocks is bad the computer will see it faster than we can on a data list and it will set codes. As a general rule of thumb don’t want to see a large variance in voltage between the blocks
    1
  18795. Everything has lithium ion except base model
    1
  18796. Hi! Does the car ready on?
    1
  18797. Hi! It will have a small effect on gas mileage
    1
  18798. Hi! If this trip is repeated every year perhaps a non hybrid would make more sense. If this is a one time deal then it’s ok
    1
  18799. Thank you for watching my videos. The 2020 model has the nickel metal battery. The 2021 could have either or.
    1
  18800. Find them here https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeFzfl0Q8rQVmGC047YDDOTFEKGhoZ19K
    1
  18801. No issues with radiation.
    1
  18802. It can run for a long time but it’s not advisable to leave the car running with ac for an extreme long time 1-2 hours or more.
    1
  18803. Hi! The new corolla hybrid has a timing chain. It’s internal and usually lasts the life of the car without any issues
    1
  18804. Hi! Not an issue as they produce small amounts of heat projected towards the passenger
    1
  18805. 2020 has nickel metal 2021 could have either
    1
  18806. Thanks for the suggestion! The steering is electric in hybrids.
    1
  18807. The 12v battery is just used to power up the computers to start the hybrid system then it’s just sitting there getting charged
    1
  18808. That’s normal on hybrids. There’s no alternator and hybrid system changes the voltage as needed. Also on 2020 RAV4s and many models that have dying 12v batteries Toyota resolved the issue with a reset and software update for the data communications module or DCM. If you have this issue talk to your dealership about the reset and software update and they’ll take care of it
    1
  18809. Hi! I am no expert on that subject however many viewers who were mentioned it was not an issue or a concern. Very valid concern you have as a parent, but it’s not something I would worry about.
    1
  18810. True but also more expensive and not needed if the air cooling system is maintained right. On the RAV4 prime things changed where it was needed
    1
  18811. That’s the case. It still shows 2021 could have either but the one I filmed with was made in April of 2020 as a 2021 model
    1
  18812. Thank you!
    1
  18813. There are a few things you can do but in the end a one time storage for months is ok but repeated storage could have negative effects on the battery longevity and not much can be done about that
    1
  18814. I’d have to double check on that one. I’ll get back to you just reply to this comment
    1
  18815. Hi! Honestly they are both good. The sienna does have nickel metal hydride
    1
  18816. Hi! Not on the Toyota lineup.
    1
  18817. The 2020 corolla hybrid can have either. 2021 has lithium ion.
    1
  18818. Hi! The vent behind the drivers seat is just the floor hearing and shouldn’t be an issue
    1
  18819. It’s on the drivers side rear seat. Need to remove the seat bolster to service
    1
  18820. I’d say 2-3 months and up and more importantly the consistency of storage. So if you have an unusual circumstance where you left it for 2 months and then after 3 years you did the same it should be ok. However if it’s a systematic store where it’s stored like this every year then it will be a problem over time.
    1
  18821. Yes you can.
    1
  18822. A small compressor for tire pressures doesn’t draw too much. I think you’ll be ok using it
    1
  18823. Congratulations on your hybrid purchase!
    1
  18824. You can’t choose. The LE model will have lithium ion and others nickel metal
    1
  18825. Hi! They still have both options
    1
  18826. Hi! It doesn’t run the fan with the car off. Yes ambient temperature will have an effect but the battery is not charging and discharging at that point so it has a much lesser effect
    1
  18827. Hi! The sitting for the hybrid battery affects its longevity over time. For example if it sits for six months straight with a single use
    1
  18828. Hi! Each battery will have advantages and disadvantages. The nickel metal is tried and proven. The lithium ion on paper can be better but they haven’t been around in hybrid Toyotas long enough to know for sure
    1
  18829. It does but at that point the battery ran hot and is not regulated well. Repeat this process over and over and the battery life drops significantly
    1
  18830. Hi! Which model hybrid?
    1
  18831. The cabin air conditioning does help by cooling the cabin which is where the fan takes the air from
    1
  18832. You’ll see the battery in high temps reach as high as 40 degrees Celsius. But the fan will try to maintain it below that and come on and off to manage the temperature of the battery
    1
  18833. Hi! Is the noise inside the car or outside?
    1
  18834. Congratulations on your purchase! If there’s an issue with the battery you will have multiple warning lights. Don’t worry everything is good. For peace of mind have the dealership take a look to make sure everything is 100% good which I have no doubt it is.
    1
  18835. I’m not aware of a calibration to begin things back
    1
  18836. Very bright color that’s not hard to miss.
    1
  18837. Hi! The Camry hybrid has a similar layout as the rav4. The accord hybrid is different
    1
  18838. Hi! I don’t have experience with them honestly
    1
  18839. Hi! No it won’t be bad because as soon as you start the car it will cool it down immediately.
    1
  18840. Hi and thank you for watching my channel. Don’t know why the battery cost this much? But a standard parasitic draw test will need to take place first to see if there’s anything draining the battery. If not then replace the battery as it could just be a defective battery that you have now. Jump starting your hybrid is not a problem and as long as it’s done right ( not reversed ) it shouldn’t be an issue.
    1
  18841. Hi! Radiation is not an issue in hybrids
    1
  18842. Email me your vin.
    1
  18843. Hi! That’s too new of a car to have an overheating battery unless the fan was flat not working
    1
  18844. Lithium ion has advantages but also has disadvantages. The nimh battery has been tried and true and with good car it will easy last the life of the car.
    1
  18845. Hi! Honestly if the maintenance is kept on the air cooled battery and air conditioning is used in hot days there’s no concern for early failure from the battery. It will fail one day but just like anything else like the engine and transmission
    1
  18846. Hi! Yes but avoid electrical connections and try to dry things up when done
    1
  18847. Hi! Usually blows a few fuses mainly the main fuse
    1
  18848. The exhaust is not a completely sealed system for the battery. So if it’s clogged it will find other areas to go but it’s not ideal as the hot air will circle back into the battery.
    1
  18849. It’s part of the vent located on the lower side of the back seat
    1
  18850. Hi! The filter location varies by model. On the newer models they are purposefully placed where they’re very easy to access and service. Some older models didn’t have them or had them in a more difficult place.
    1
  18851. Hi! The engine comes on when going down hill to assist in braking. Basically it’s used as dead weight to slow down the car
    1
  18852. Hi! in winter times the battery doesn’t have overheating issues even with the heater running in the car.
    1
  18853. Ok honestly it will need another battery. Wonder if something was blocking it and caused overheating for the previous owner
    1
  18854. How many miles on it now and how’s the condition of the fan?
    1
  18855. Hi! Was the battery replaced with an original?
    1
  18856. Hi! Could you reply here with your question
    1
  18857. Hi! They are well protected and well engineered I doubt there’s a high risk
    1
  18858. Hi! The battery fan can be cleaned and a filter installed and that should do it for the hybrid battery fan. And as far as the hybrid battery health there’s no real way to test one that I know of.
    1
  18859. I wouldn’t say one is better than the other. They both have advantages and disadvantages. But nickel metal hydride batteries are tried and tested and they do last a long time. Lithium ion batteries are good as well but that’s one of their disadvantages is that they don’t last as much as nickel batteries in the same operating conditions. That’s what the papers say but time will tell how the lithium ion batteries will hold in hybrids.
    1
  18860. Very well said.
    1
  18861. 2021 corollas should all have lithium ion
    1
  18862. The battery is well covered from direct sun light and when it’s off it cools down. It shouldn’t be an issue but when you do get in the car turn on the air conditioning and that’ll help cool down the battery
    1
  18863. Hows your back seat use? Kids pets or heavy back seat use?
    1
  18864. I’d say it has to do with the electric water pump and the lack of off heaters. Check both cars. The old one likely had a mechanical water pump and the new one has an electric
    1
  18865. Hi! Insulated gloves and insulated tools are needed and general high voltage awareness is also needed. Otherwise it’s not that bad
    1
  18866. You can drive the car but it will have limited performance
    1
  18867. I would just stick with the 34-38 zone. That’s keep you safely away from max pressure even after the tires warm up
    1
  18868. Hi! Here’s a video specific to the corolla https://youtu.be/U7mjpvRihVU
    1
  18869. Unfortunately I cannot. Don’t really know any techs in New Jersey.
    1
  18870. It should pop off from the part towards the middle of the car then out use a small screw driver to pop it off. And yes that’s the paper filter which filters better than the mesh but is not serviceable and when it gets dirty just replace it.
    1
  18871. Awesome! Curious did you open the door was it a paper filter or a mesh?
    1
  18872. Hi Alan! The information I have are for US Corolla Hybrid which started selling in the US in 2020. I'm assuming they are the same. On the back seat bottom between the seat and the floor of the car look on both sides you should see a vent which has a door that comes off and reveals the filter. In the US model it is in the passenger side. If you are in the U.K or Australia that will be the driver's side. Look on both sides and let me know if you find it
    1
  18873. I honestly wouldn’t exceed 85-90 not only for the hybrid system but for safety with the low rolling resistance tires and their handling capabilities. For efficiency I wouldn’t exceed 80mph
    1
  18874. Unfortunately I am not familiar with Ford Hybrids as I specialize in Toyota. However as a guess I would say it should be around the area of the back seat. Either underneath it to the side of it or even behind the head rests.
    1
  18875. I’m glad it helped Labeeb
    1
  18876. It should be just underneath the back seat. I’ll double check
    1
  18877. Hi! See this video for detailed information https://youtu.be/zSqnyZZRTzk
    1
  18878. Hi! Long periods of idling in very hot weather could be challenging for the battery but otherwise it’s not as bad.
    1
  18879. Hi! It’s in the trunk
    1
  18880. For a short time like using a car wash it should be ok.
    1
  18881. Mph so try not to exceed 140 km/h
    1
  18882. 2nd time!
    1
  18883. Your best options really is to use a window mount or your phone. Even if you buy the original expensive one it’s not really worth it because you’d need to update it every few years and that also costs a lot
    1
  18884. Hi! It’s located underneath the back seat.
    1
  18885. Here’s a video that I made which will show you where and how to service it. https://youtu.be/skSoXGcNpS4
    1
  18886. Unfortunately I am not familiar with Kia products. I’ll try to look up what I can and report back if I find something.
    1
  18887. Thank you for your comment and I totally hear ya here. Chicago gets cold but not as cold as that! The 2nd gen prius was probably the worst when it comes to this. It has an overcomplicated heat retention system that usually didn’t work very well supposedly it could hold hot coolant in an insulated tank so you’d have instant heat. The newer ones are much better than that as they run the engine during warm up. And believe it or not the newest hybrids have shutters in front of the radiator that open and close automatically. I see the card board method working but you’d want to remove the card board after warm up. Most people who do this put the cardboard in November and remove it in April which is not a good idea.
    1
  18888. The hybrid battery is at its last leg that’s why you’re noticing strange things. I would shop around and see if you can get one at a decent price. Make sure the fan is cleaned and a filter installed to prevent future issues.
    1
  18889. Hi! While it’s hard for me to tell what’s going on without reading codes and in person diagnosis but I’ll ask you this. Is the car driving normally otherwise? Is the engine running all the time?
    1
  18890. Hi! Automatic transmission have neutral for situations where you need to push the car while it’s running. Example is an automatic car wash
    1
  18891. Thank you tony. May the lord bless you and keep you!
    1
  18892. Hi! Underneath the back seat.
    1
  18893. Hello Christian! I am not very familiar with the Yaris hybrid as they are not sold across the pond. However I would however look underneath the back seat or surrounding area for a slotted vent. On the RAV4 hybrid it’s on either side of the bottom of the back seat. I am working on more hybrid information and maintenance videos and hoping to release new ones next week.
    1
  18894. Hi! It can work. That engine does have an oil separator
    1
  18895. I would wait to see if you like how the 2021 drives being a hybrid. If not go with the tried and true 2020 sienna.
    1
  18896. Hi! The computer will shut down and the car won’t start anymore. This is not usually possible to happen normally. The computer will stop using the battery when it drops to a certain point and go into limp mode.
    1
  18897. Hi! Passenger side of the back seat
    1
  18898. Thank you!
    1
  18899. Hi! It can. Just make sure the cooling system is taken care of
    1
  18900. Hi! That model should come with an immobilizer already
    1
  18901. Hello Wim. Not very familiar with the Auris as it was not sold in the US. I just wanted to ask you to verify, Is it a 2000 Toyota Auris Hybrid?
    1
  18902. Hi! The battery vents are in the 2nd row seat. See this video for specific information to your modelhttps://youtu.be/WNo-VXJSg7s
    1
  18903. I do not have experience with this. Do you have any info on it?
    1
  18904. The new sienna is just coming out. I have high expectations that it will be a hit since it's going to be hybrid only. We will see.
    1
  18905. Their batteries that go into the cabin have a vent and is sealed otherwise.
    1
  18906. You can if it’s a sealed battery.
    1
  18907. Hi! Here’s a video with step by step how to service it on your car https://youtu.be/U7mjpvRihVU
    1
  18908. Hi! Contact me via email or social media for more information
    1
  18909. It won’t hurt the high voltage battery however are you running it for 8 hours with the car stopped? Or driving?
    1
  18910. It’s located on the side of the back seat.
    1
  18911. Trying to remember the setup. Press and hold display when the mpg counter is up? Try that
    1
  18912. Hi! You might need to reset the mpg counter and drive it for a few hundred miles for it to get accurate again
    1
  18913. Hi. Could you elaborate further. Do you mean to take off as in driving and stop?
    1
  18914. Hi! Are there any warning lights?
    1
  18915. It’s underneath the back seat towards the passenger side
    1
  18916. Hi! The tire bounces and the traction control activates. One thing I would check is tire pressure first
    1
  18917. Hi! If you drive the car regularly but not long distances you’re good with a hybrid. If you will store this car for months at a time every year then it’s not good for the hybrid battery
    1
  18918. Hi! I don’t see the relation but I would get codes checked to see what’s going on
    1
  18919. The filter is part of the vent. Removing it is slightly involved as part of the back seat needs to come apart. I will have a video to show you how in the near future.
    1
  18920. Batteries are expensive but not as much as people make them out to be. A refurbished battery is as good as the company that stands behind them. Make sure it a reputable company before buying
    1
  18921. You are right. My point was if gas mileage is one of top reasons you have a hybrid then sticking with eco branded tires might be your best bet. Are they the best tire there? No and not by a long stretch but for gas mileage purposes they are best. The Michelin defender is one example of an excellent tire that draws people in because of its awesome long life and ultra smooth ride but at the cost of fuel economy.
    1
  18922. Hi! I would replace it
    1
  18923. If you’re within the towing capacity you’re good other than gas mileage
    1
  18924. On a Prius nothing would happen. The computer won’t allow park to engage when the car is moving since the button is not mechanical.
    1
  18925. Hi! Yes every 60-90k miles
    1
  18926. Hi we don’t have this model in the us market so I am not very familiar with it but normally you’ll find it either underneath the back seat or next to it on either side of the back seat
    1
  18927. Yes if it fits your needs and you like how they drive
    1
  18928. In case you need to push the car.
    1
  18929. Hi! Yes I have a video that will show where the vent is and how to service the filter as well find it with this link https://youtu.be/U7mjpvRihVU
    1
  18930. Yes it does. All hybrid models will have a cooling system for the battery. It doesn’t however have a filter but one can be installed
    1
  18931. On the Camry it’s located on the package tray by the 3rd brake light behind the back seat head rests
    1
  18932. Typically on EV model you can only go to 20 mph tops. So I’d say you’re within the limit. Perhaps you were driving down hill?
    1
  18933. Hi. Is this a prime by any chance?
    1
  18934. Hi! What kind of Toyota hybrid do you have?
    1
  18935. The hybrid system has its limitations. It’s designed to save the environment and be extremely efficient. They struggle at high speeds, this is not an opinion, these are facts from Toyota. Sure they are capable of cruising at high speeds but it is stressful for the hybrid system and in some cases might negatively impact the hv battery. All hybrids are more efficient in city driving than highway driving.
    1
  18936. I hear you. I agree that this is a good compromise. If your tires max pressure is 51 even in the hottest weather you’ll like be at 43-44 in the front and less in the rear which is safe. I have seen people go as high as 100psi which is really bad! Putting it in neutral for a short time is not a problem. We’ve had some issues where people for some reason leave it in neutral with the parking brake on for a long period of time
    1
  18937. Hi! I have a video for the hybrid fan filter for your model find it here https://youtu.be/U7mjpvRihVU
    1
  18938. Hi! Yes your Avalon has a filter behind the vent on the drivers side of the back seat.

  18939. Hi! Yes that should be ok. When these tires warm up completely they’ll be close to 40 psi which is well below most tires maximum pressure.
    1
  18940. Personally I just take a spray bottle with water and soap spray it and dry it with compressed air. It’s less water than an open hose and it works well
    1
  18941. So look on the internet for part no G92DH-33020 this is a filter that clips directly onto the outside of the vent. Buy it put it on the vent and keep it clean and you should have no issues
    1
  18942. Thank you for the video suggestion! I added it to the list!
    1
  18943. Hi! Thank you for watching my videos. Your Camry likely doesn’t have a filter from the factory but you can add one. The vent is located on the drivers side of the back seat. Washing the engine compartment is best don’t with a spray bottle and brush then compressed air. Never use direct high pressure water onto electrical connectors and you should have no issues
    1
  18944. Hi! Honestly with the covering that the new highlander has rust proofing is not as important as before.
    1
  18945. Hi! Price out a battery vs buying one with low mileage that don’t need anything
    1
  18946. Not having the spare tire there wouldn’t cause an instability.
    1
  18947. Hi! If you are absolutely sure you’ll never need the spare tire that would be weight removed from the car. I would however keep it in the car.
    1
  18948. Thank you! Southwest suburbs.
    1
  18949. Hi! On the passenger side of the rear seat. Right next to the door
    1
  18950. If all 4 tires are equal usually it doesn’t throw off the computer. As the signals from all 4 wheels changed equally
    1
  18951. Honestly I haven’t tried to fit that size tire on a highlander so that would be a trial and error thing. As far as warranty if there’s an issue with the car that was caused by the tires being non oem size then yes it might affect your warranty. I don’t see something that would cause damage just gas mileage and possibly odometer issues. Also your Toyota safety sense features might be affected as well.
    1
  18952. Hi! It’s underneath the back seat
    1
  18953. Joseph Juguilon on a non hybrid car it doesn’t really affect anything
    1
  18954. That’s the whole idea of the fluid. You want to keep it clean not wait for it to be dark and contaminated to replace it
    1
  18955. That’s a nice car! No issues with the cvt as long as the fluid is refreshed every 60k and using original fluid
    1
  18956. It’s ok! What are you driving now?
    1
  18957. That’s a very good question. They tried to imitate a conventional car but putting neutral. You can also push the car in neutral if needed with ready off key on
    1
  18958. To push the car in case it’s not coming on.
    1
  18959. When the engine is running in hybrids its driving the car but it’s also charging the battery under normal acceleration even if the engine is cold.
    1
  18960. I would leave the car on in park
    1
  18961. Aneta Johnson I hear you. Well I hope both the battery and the transmission on your insight last a long time without problems!
    1
  18962. The other coolant system is for the hybrid system mainly the inverter. Here’s a series that I made about how hybrids work which will explain everything about it https://youtu.be/SX5Klme59eY
    1
  18963. Hi! The battery in your highlander is air cooled. 3 vents underneath the back seat with a mesh filter built in. Keep em clean and you should have no issues.
    1
  18964. Hi! Underneath the back seat towards the passenger side
    1
  18965. Southbay LA thank you for the suggestion! I’ll add it to the list and you’ll see it in the future!
    1
  18966. That short period of time in the car wash is ok. Not long periods of time.
    1
  18967. You’d want to scan for codes first. Did you also check if you have gas?
    1
  18968. So when you’re in neutral the hybrid system can no longer charge the battery. Staying like this for a long time could actually deplete the high voltage battery. If your high voltage battery was already in the lower side and it continues to deplete beyond the lowest allowed level by the computer it could shut off everything. Of course being in the car wash for 5 minutes is not going to do that but having it in neutral for a long time can. Here’s a series that I made explaining how hybrids work https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeFzfl0Q8rQUgJLQheNbttBtKT6iSOX4D
    1
  18969. Hi! Here’s a video with details on the Venza vent https://youtu.be/L1l-JNGMTEs
    1
  18970. Hi! I wouldn’t go faster than 84 mph on primes.
    1
  18971. Hi! Thank you for watching my videos. Unfortunately I don’t have information on this Toyota model because it’s not sold in my area.
    1
  18972. Hi! Are you trying to change it?
    1
  18973. I would keep on the 5k oil changes on this engine from this point on. The hybrid variant of this generation Camry has been very reliable. You got a good one there.
    1
  18974. Thank you mark! So on your Camry it will be underneath the back seat with a filter behind a small door. I would change the engine oil every 5k or 6 months if you plan to keep this car long.
    1
  18975. Hi! It doesn’t really matter which mode for speed
    1
  18976. Any speed as long as it doesn’t exceed 85-90 mph
    1
  18977. That is a good idea and only replace the brake fluid if it has high moisture content.
    1
  18978. Because of the heat pump system in primes things are a bit different. I have a video series planned for prime cars and their operation. If the AC button is not on it will either blow ambient temperature if you have the temperature set on cold or blow hot air if you have it set to a high temperature.
    1
  18979. Hi! If you are handy and do your own repairs you can do it yourself if not then take it to the dealership.
    1
  18980. Hi! It’s on the drivers side of the back seat
    1
  18981. You can’t overcharge the battery. There’s a protective measure in place to keep the battery in the safe range for the battery. That sounds like a plan for you then! I hear you on gas prices.
    1
  18982. The car won’t be harmed at higher speeds however your efficiency will be affected and at that point what’s the point of the extra expense of buying a hybrid
    1
  18983. Hi! The fan filter is underneath the back seat
    1
  18984. Hi! No concerns at all. Replace the fluid when possible and you’re all set.
    1
  18985. If you have a booster I would just jump start the car. If you have a charger, charge the battery for some time then disconnect it and start the car unless the battery is faulty and won’t accept a charge
    1
  18986. The idea is to reduce load on the car to lower emissions but I would keep it on
    1
  18987. Hi! The Venza has some reports of the fuel tank issue but there’s nothing official from Toyota on it yet.
    1
  18988. Any reference to such article? Because the hybrid system disengages the motors very easily to not charge the battery and keep it within the limit of SOC and when the car is stopped and not moving and you are in neutral it cannot use MG1 which starts the gasoline engine then gets turned by it to generate without surging the car forward due to motive force. If the designer of the hybrid system contradicts his own design and those publications of the company that funded his invention I am very interested in where this was published. Thank you.
    1
  18989. I don’t see harm in switching drive modes as needed. Of course changing back and forth quickly at the same moment is not ideal. But switching them as needed shouldn’t be a problem.
    1
  18990. Hi! The filter is underneath the back seat you’ll see a slotted vent that’s where you’ll find it.
    1
  18991. I wouldn’t look at it when the motor runs at what speed. Ev mode will prioritize battery power but when the hybrid system decides it will turn on the engine to keep the battery at the charge level that’s needed at that time
    1
  18992. Michel García Gavilán no problem! My pleasure to help. Never be pressured into doing maintenance to your car that you have doubts about. You’re welcome to always ask questions and research what is needed and what can wait. Best of luck with your Prius!
    1
  18993. I would say going to the carwash is OK. It will display the message but that should be ok. I'm referring to extended stop in neutral as in 25 minutes+
    1
  18994. Hi! It doesn’t but you can install one for it
    1
  18995. Hi! Which model Toyota hybrid?
    1
  18996. @Frank Pecina Thank you! I hope everything goes wonderful for you and your car! Greetings from across the globe my brother!
    1
  18997. Hi! Did you check the bulb?
    1
  18998. Hi! Email me with the subject Chicago service request
    1
  18999. Hi! It’s on the side of the back seat passenger side
    1
  19000. Hi! This one will need some investigating but could be normal. How’s the battery charge indicator?
    1
  19001. Likely around the back seat area either underneath it or the to the side
    1
  19002. The part no is G92DH-47020 google it and you’ll find it for sale it just clips over the vent on the outside
    1
  19003. Thank you for watching! Here’s a link to a video that will show where it is and how to service it https://youtu.be/L1l-JNGMTEs
    1
  19004. Hi! Protecting your car from direct sunlight is always advisable for hybrids in extreme heat. Always use the AC and it is extremely important in your case to keep a very close eye on the hybrid battery’s fan and filter making sure they are clean and clear
    1
  19005. Congratulations on your purchase! Here’s a video to show you how to clean it https://youtu.be/U7mjpvRihVU
    1
  19006. That’s a good one Eduardo! Well it might do very little but how much effort it’s gonna take to do it might not be worth it.
    1
  19007. Hi! So the cowl clips into the glass. You’ll need to grab the edge of it and pull it to disengage it from the glass. Use silicone spray to help it. I’ll admit it’s a terrible design and very scary to get it off as you’re basically either pulling at the glass or per instructions prying on the glass to pop the cowl off of it
    1
  19008. Hi! With airbags you’ll need to disconnect the battery to be on the safe side. You can access the repair manual on techinfo.Toyota.com for step by step
    1
  19009. Hi! I don’t have this exact model in my area however it’s usually behind a vent around the back seat. Either to the side of the seat or underneath ti
    1
  19010. Yes that’s a short period of time and it’s ok
    1
  19011. Hi thank you for watching. I’m assuming you meant fuel injection cleaner. You can use it without issues.
    1
  19012. They will run with limited performance
    1
  19013. In slow traffic when conditions allow
    1
  19014. Hi! Some do some don’t. You’ll want to look
    1
  19015. Ethanol free gasoline is without any ethanol. 10% ethanol gas will be clearly marked. E85 is 85% ethanol which you cannot use in your hybrid.
    1
  19016. Nice car! It takes regular 87. I would use top tier gasoline. Google top tier gasoline or watch this video https://youtu.be/1OFV8gpxAxI
    1
  19017. Congratulations on your hybrid purchase! The kind of gas for your hybrid will depend on your model. Which model hybrid do you have?
    1
  19018. Curious how much is the max pressure allowed on the sidewall likely it’s over 50 on your Lexus.
    1
  19019. Should be around the back seat area either underneath the back seat or to the side
    1
  19020. You’ll need a scan tool
    1
  19021. Hi! I would stay in D. If you are at a complete stand still go to P to rest your leg from holding the brake
    1
  19022. Hi! Honestly I wouldn’t get into a very high mileage 2005 Prius if I were you.
    1
  19023. Hi! I would keep it in drive with foot on the brake or park if you’d like.
    1
  19024. Hi! Modifying the air bag system is dangerous and not something I recommend! Sorry I can’t help do that.
    1
  19025. Hi Richard! So an oem filter is available for most models and I can help finding it. Which model and year Toyota hybrid do you have?
    1
  19026. Thank you!
    1
  19027. Hi! It shouldn’t be an issue.
    1
  19028. Jo-Ann Benedetti that’s a tough one Jo-Ann. Ideally you’d want the charge low and a trickle charger on the 12v battery and the least amount of fuel in the tank. But I will say this. If the plan of owning a prime is to frequently or systematically store it for long periods like 4-5 months I would actually consider buying a gasoline only RAV4 honestly. Even the hybrid model will suffer from this frequent long time storage.
    1
  19029. You can’t particularly jump start a hybrid battery. It can be charged but it’s a simple process.
    1
  19030. They can.
    1
  19031. It’s underneath the passenger rear seat. If you slide the seat all the way forward and look underneath it you’ll see it
    1
  19032. Hi! Thank you for watching my videos! The filter on your Avalon will be behind the vent which is located on the drivers side of the back seat. The seat does have to come out in order to replace it. I am looking for a candidate car in Chicago to film the how to video for this Avalon. Once I get one there will be a video to show you how to get it replaced.
    1
  19033. Hi! It won’t hurt it. Even you go up eventually you’ll do down and give the battery a chance to charge up
    1
  19034. Hi! It is not quick but that’s not the intended purpose of the car.
    1
  19035. Is this the new 2021 sienna hybrid?
    1
  19036. Hi! Some do some don’t. If they do it would be behind the vent on the drivers side of the rear seat and you can vacuum it or use compressed air.
    1
  19037. Hi Dave! I don’t know about prices very much as they vary from areas but a 2014 Prius in good condition is a good hybrid to buy in my opinion.
    1
  19038. It’s located on the side of the back seat you’ll see a vent and filter sits behind it. To replace the actual filter some disassembly is required. I would just use a strong vacuum and a long screw driver to loosen the dirt on it and vacuum it out
    1
  19039. Hi! The hybrid battery is not simple to recharge. Are you referring to the 12v battery?
    1
  19040. Hi! For the 16 underneath the back seat facing the front seats. On the 2021 on the sides of the back seay
    1
  19041. I would inspect and fan and clean it if needed. If you hear the fan running at its highest most of the time. Also check your spark plugs tires and tire pressures
    1
  19042. What year and how many miles? Clean the fan or the fan filter if equipped. Check your tires and tire pressures as well
    1
  19043. It’s located on the back of the back seat if it’s 14-17 on the drivers side. If it’s 18+ it’s located underneath the back seat. If it’s 2007-2011 it’s located on the package tray by the 3rd brake light
    1
  19044. It’s kind of a bear to get that one out from underneath the passenger rear seat. You’d have to pull the carpet around it up to undo the clips that hold it onto the vent
    1
  19045. Hi! The defrost function forces the engine on by design.
    1
  19046. Sorry, could you repeat your question? Are you not getting good gas mileage?
    1
  19047. Hi! How many miles on the car?
    1
  19048. New Toyota hybrids have an active shutter. Monitoring the temps and removing the cardboard when operating temps are reached is an option but more importantly than the engine coolant temperature is the inverter temperature which is the issue. Toyota hybrids have 2 cooling systems and 2 radiators in the front. The hybrid inverter warms up very quickly and overheating it leads to major issues.
    1
  19049. The original idea is if you need to push your car in an emergency
    1
  19050. Thank you! A few 19-20 videos planned. The gas tank issue I don’t have any information on as Toyota has sealed lips on this other than there will be a fix soon.
    1
  19051. Hi look though my channel I have a video for it
    1
  19052. If you are within the temp range and you ended up with a trickle you’re good. Give it a week and recheck it again and you should have no issues.
    1
  19053. Hi! Honestly I wouldn’t have an answer for this one. Likely not but it can be made to fit
    1
  19054. Not familiar with it. Could you elaborate further?
    1
  19055. Hi! Likely it charged enough at this point. I would test it and charge it with a charger if needed
    1
  19056. I’m working to get a car to film with on how to replace it
    1
  19057. Without in person diagnosis it’s hard for me to tell what’s going on but is it noise only when going over bumps? Do you feel it in the steering wheel?
    1
  19058. I’m still in the process of looking into this. Officially you can’t remove it but we’re trying to find ways around that.
    1
  19059. Power mode favors power over economy and efficiency. If you are in a situation where you feel like the car is underpowered like when merging into highways or driving in hilly areas you could use it. Just know that when in power mode your gas mileage will drop. It will not harm the car or it's hybrid system but it's simply not efficient.
    1
  19060. Depending on the model and the condition of the battery. What model Toyota and what year?
    1
  19061. Hi! If this is a toyota check your ac charge
    1
  19062. More like half an hour or more
    1
  19063. No problem man. I hope everything goes smoothly and you won’t have issues.
    1
  19064. Joseph Regallis I’m sorry to hear about your bad experience with the dealership. Doing your own work on your car or at least as much as you can is always advised. Certain things are not possible but at least basic maintenance. Did you try to call Toyota directly?
    1
  19065. I am not very familiar with your model as it’s not sold in my area. However generally they’re located around the back seat area either to the side of underneath it.
    1
  19066. The fan vent is located underneath the passenger rear seat
    1
  19067. I really think the RAV4 hybrid is awesome but that’s my opinion you want to drive both cars and see which one you like better.
    1
  19068. The slower you drive the more efficient it will Be
    1
  19069. The EV mode in regular hybrids will not do harm to the battery. The on board computer wouldn’t allow the hybrid battery to be depleted to a critical level.
    1
  19070. I wouldn’t deactivate the parking brakes as it’s a general good idea to use the parking brake every time.
    1
  19071. I personally don’t have experience with replacing cells but I wouldn’t recommend it. I would research tires on tirerack.com for your car. Eco tires will give you best gas mileage
    1
  19072. Hi! Honestly they are both good options. You’ll want to see which suits your needs
    1
  19073. You’re welcome! Thank you for watching my video
    1
  19074. Underneath the back seat towards the passenger side you’ll see a vent. The filter is behind it
    1
  19075. Hi! See this video for details https://youtu.be/zSqnyZZRTzk
    1
  19076. Hi! It won’t damage the car
    1
  19077. Hi! The occasional bike rack carry should be ok. I would try to get a lightweight one to be on the safe side
    1
  19078. They last a very very long time. Haven’t seen many fail at very high mileage
    1
  19079. Hi! It’s going to be on the drivers side of the back seat
    1
  19080. Hi! On the rear parcel shelf by the 3rd brake light
    1
  19081. They are I would say.
    1
  19082. Hi! You can put your hybrid in neutral for a short amount of time like going through a car wash but not for an extended period of time
    1
  19083. @RW Photo on your Prius V the fan filter is underneath the passenger side rear seat. If you slide the seat all the way forward you’ll see it underneath. Kinda more complicated to remove and replace and actually they sell a kit at the dealership to make next time replacement easier.
    1
  19084. Hi! In park you don’t have any issues. In neutral the battery can’t charge
    1
  19085. Hi! Just starting it alone is good. No need for reprogramming or anything.
    1
  19086. Hi! Without seeing the codes it’s hard to tell. I would get the codes checked as that could be a sign of an issue with the battery.
    1
  19087. This one I have a video for. Find it here https://youtu.be/skSoXGcNpS4
    1
  19088. Hi! I don’t think that’s a very easy swap as the batteries are controlled differently.
    1
  19089. Thanks!
    1
  19090. Tony I do not have a lot of information of this that I am authorized to publicly share. I have faith in Toyota and there will eventually be a fix for the refueling issue.
    1
  19091. Tony, There’s an issue with refueling in hybrid rav4s and so far there’s no remedy that Toyota has published. I am sure there will be a remedy in the near future but so far nothing that I know of.
    1
  19092. Are you referring to RAV4 hybrids?
    1
  19093. Every car will have a threshold when to turn on the gas light. Most Toyota’s turn it on early and be on the safe side. Ideally you don’t want to consistently run your gas tank very low.
    1
  19094. Which year rav4?

    1
  19096. I would just leave it ready on in park
    1
  19097. That’s an evap code. These codes require in person diagnosis because of the complexity of the Evap system.
    1
  19098. It does save gas true. However I will side with the tire manufacturers recommended max inflation pressure. By over inflating tires beyond the max pressure allowed by the manufacturer of the tire you are effectively exceeding the limits of the tire structural integrity. And all to save a few pennies on gas and risk damaging the tires prematurely or worse have a blowout that could lead to an accident.
    1
  19099. Hi! The battery on the screen is the high voltage battery. The battery that starts the car is a conventional 12v battery. That’s likely what’s failing. The dealership will test it and if it fails and you’re under 36k miles they will replace it under warranty and you’re all good.
    1
  19100. If you’re putting new tires on the car perhaps it’s not a bad idea to check the alignment but I would look at the old tires that you are replacing if they’re worn evenly likely your alignment is good. I wouldn’t pay too much for an alignment if you end up doing it
    1
  19101. Hi! Thank you for watching my videos! So on your Camry, do you drive on rough roads or remember hiring a curb or something of that nature? Does your car drive straight and the tires are wearing evenly without issues?
    1
  19102. Turn the wheels with them in the air
    1
  19103. Hi! If the mechanic can show you the play in the inner tie rods it can be expensive original as you have to replace the whole rack but aftermarket you can find the inner tie rods not expensive this route
    1
  19104. Hi! For 2017 both engine options are good as long as they are maintained. The v6 has a lot more power but less mileage. The 4 cylinder has good power for daily driving and good mileage.
    1
  19105. Hi! You can easily diagnose them by moving the wheel side to side with the front wheels raised
    1
  19106. Hi Marcos! I honestly haven’t looked at one which supplier makes it. They come in a Toyota box. I’ll keep an eye to see if I find who’s the manufacturer
    1
  19107. Hi! The steering shaft is slowly becoming common to cause the hard steerring
    1
  19108. TRW mades ok parts. I would always compare prices to originals at least in Toyota’s case. Make sure you’re not paying the same for aftermarket when compared to original
    1
  19109. Hi! Check the steering shaft they also like to make a clunking sound when turning at slow speeds
    1
  19110. Hi! Likely inner tie rods. Toyota doesn’t sell inner tie rods separate from the rack. The engine doesn’t need to come out
    1
  19111. Hi! It’s possible. The humming can be normal if you turn it fast but the clicking can either be a steering intermediate shaft or a loose columb
    1
  19112. Hi! Yes you can
    1
  19113. Hi! I would go original if I were you. That’s actually not a bad price.
    1
  19114. Hi I would get the car aligned first and see what happens. If it's still there then you'll need to check for codes.
    1
  19115. Thank you for watching my video! I saw your comment and you’re right on the weight. Noticeable gas mileage change when you switch from eco to non eco tires on hybrids.

  19116. You got it! Thank you for your comment and content suggestions!

  19117. Evap system on primes is similar to hybrids. Having ethanol free fuel is best for any car prime or otherwise.
    1
  19118. Hi! When you are stopped in EV mode you are consuming the least out of the hybrid battery. However you are still consuming as all the electronics on the car are on and using power
    1
  19119. Hi! Is it a plug in hybrid or just a hybrid?
    1
  19120. Teck Trek thank you!
    1
  19121. AveiroDan will do thank you!
    1
  19122. Glad I could help!
    1
  19123. You’re welcome! Thank you for watching my video and thanks again for your content suggestion! Have a blessed day.
    1
  19124. Joseph Juguilon thank you Joseph! Hope you’re having a good week!
    1
  19125. nelio SAMch I don’t really have any experience with them. I would mention it to the dealership since the new battery is under warranty and see if they can run some kind of health check on the new battery to make sure everything is good
    1
  19126. nelio SAMch thank you! What’s the model of your other car?
    1
  19127. I would use non ethanol gas for all cars not just PHEV if I had it close.
    1
  19128. The RAV4 prime will display a message to inform you of old gas. There are certain conditions that will force the engine on. However the idea here is not to use your prime as an EV only car therefore neglecting the gasoline engine.
    1
  19129. Jason Wu thank you Jason! Have a good day!
    1
  19130. https://youtu.be/SKoPqb0SZEM
    1
  19131. Hi! Yes you can
    1
  19132. That is correct. You actually don’t want to leave them fully charged for long. But it’s also more difficult to charge them moments before you need to use them
    1
  19133. Thank you! Good luck with your Rav4 prime purchase!
    1
  19134. Hi! You’d need to keep some gas in the tank to keep the pump cool that’s true. And the oil change interval by time is for fuel/oil contamination.
    1
  19135. With respect I ask you to elaborate on how do you “select” to put the battery charge all the way up? And since it’s bad info in your opinion why don’t you make a video or leave a comment with actual technical information? Would be more helpful than accusing a video meant for consumers of not being made by engineers for engineers.
    1
  19136. Thank you for your comment Mathew! Wish you the best with your prius prime car hunt! Very nice cars and if taken care of well I have no doubt they will be as reliable as the regular Prius plus all the added goodness!
    1
  19137. Thank you for your comment and suggestion! Do you mean the canister type filter?
    1
  19138. That wouldn’t be a bad idea if you are going to cycle it often
    1
  19139. Hi! Not my area of expertise. That is locked by toyota and it’s a propitiatory security feature
    1
  19140. You’re very welcome! Glad to help! Enjoy your car and I hope you have for a long time without any issues!
    1
  19141. Thank you for watching my video! You can safely take it through the car wash in neutral as that’s a short period of time.
    1
  19142. Hi! No damage to the battery because you are still using it in hybrid mode.
    1
  19143. @Rob L so running the engine potentially every 12 months to burn the fuel is a good idea on paper. In the real world that’s not a great idea and I stand by my recommendation of not waiting for the warning message to come up to do something about it. And the more important point to this is to not treat your prime as a full EV car. Merry Christmas and happy holidays.
    1
  19144. @Rob L. Please share any additional information on this. A message that comes up saying Refuel does not help the fuel not go stale. There are a lot of conditions where the engine will be forced on and that could be taken as a maintenance mode if you would but it's not. You're welcome to insult and question. I respect your opinion and value it. However for educational purposes please shed some light regarding your comment "Toyota has the vehicles automatically run the engines enough to make sure that the fuel does not go stale in the tank". Thank you.
    1
  19145. 😂
    1
  19146. There’s no issue in not utilizing the EV range all the time
    1
  19147. Yes you can
    1
  19148. ismael irizarry storing prime cars for long periods of time like 10 months and up will have a negative impact on your battery’s life. It’s not going to damage it immediately but will degrade it for long term use. I would use it often.
    1
  19149. Hi! If charging is not possible honestly I advise you to get a RAV4 hybrid instead. If you get a prime anyway there’s no issue if you don’t charge it, it will just drive like a normal hybrid rav4
    1
  19150. Hi! That could work as well
    1
  19151. Thank you for watching my videos! Different drive modes will prioritize charging and discharging differently. In eco mode it will make the throttle response slow so the battery wouldn’t discharge as fast and the opposite for sport or power mode. For normal mode it’s a balanced mix between the two. I believe the fastest speed for EV mode is around 20-25 mph varies by specific model and battery charge state.
    1
  19152. I hear you. I wouldn’t be in a hurry. The Prius prime is an excellent car. I have a family member with a model 3 impressive car!
    1
  19153. Which recall and which cars affected?
    1
  19154. Agreed! Thank you for your comment!
    1
  19155. That’s just the part.
    1
  19156. It can work. But also you’d want to run that engine so might as well just use the gas.
    1
  19157. Hi! It does underneath the drivers foot well.
    1
  19158. Hi! Not that I know of.
    1
  19159. Try removing the battery from keys and see if it still does it
    1
  19160. Hi! Any accidents even minor ones?
    1
  19161. Gasoline without ethanol is much better. It still goes stale after a long time but is much better than gasoline with ethanol.
    1
  19162. Corollas are generally good cars if taken care of. Which year are you asking about?
    1
  19163. A regular Prius wouldn’t have similar issues
    1
  19164. The wheel change doesn’t impact anything negatively. Typically they’re lighter weight because they’re smaller diameter so they should in theory improve your overall mileage but it could be something very small.
    1
  19165. Hi! Yes it could help
    1
  19166. Thank you for watching my video John! That’s a nice car you got! Hybrids are awesome for those that appreciate their efficiency!
    1
  19167. Rob L. Hi rob. Do you have information to share other than it does and I am misinformed? We all love to learn new things. Do elaborate please. Thank you.
    1
  19168. Thank you for watching! Interesting issue. Did you bring it to the dealerships attention? Usually they’ll set trouble codes which would help know what the intermittent issue was
    1
  19169. Hi! It can work
    1
  19170. Both are really good options. The RAV4 being more expensive bigger and have a longer range
    1
  19171. Hi! You should be ok leaving it as is.
    1
  19172. Hi! The Prius prime has been doing well so far. However one thing I would check is accidents especially front
    1
  19173. Ok unfortunately in this case both will need to be replaced
    1
  19174. Hi! I would change the oil and the filter everytime
    1
  19175. Yep I would.
    1
  19176. Yeah it gets pretty expensive once you add everything that’s why totaling the car in an accident is possible.
    1
  19177. I would change it every 5000 miles or 6 months
    1
  19178. Thank you!
    1
  19179. Hi! I would pay for it. That’s what I do with my personal cars that had free maintenance
    1
  19180. Hi! I would change it every 5k or 6 months
    1
  19181. Hamid Reza Sannaee glad I could help!
    1
  19182. Silver Raven Moon Typically they last a good time with good maintenance and driving habits. I’d stay clear of 1st gen prius and even most 2nd gen as they had the highest rate of battery failures compared to the 3rd gen. I am working on a video regarding buying used hybrids and battery life information which should come out in few weeks.
    1
  19183. I’d say on the safe side every month make sure you run the engine for a whole drive at least 5 miles on hybrid only.
    1
  19184. I would too. You won’t regret it.
    1
  19185. While I don’t have specialized training or knowledge of honda PHEVs. Some of it directly applies. I would consult your owners manual for information regarding best practices for battery longevity.
    1
  19186. There are some after market solutions for protection. I personally don’t have experience with them but I’ve seen them installed on customers cars at work and they would get the protection you need in my opinion
    1
  19187. Hi! Many things can cause this. The first thing is to get trouble codes. But first try to jump start it and see if that does the truck
    1
  19188. netman88 glad I could help!
    1
  19189. Hi! I would get it replaced with the same model tire if possible.
    1
  19190. Hi! You can have your dogs in the car of course, however I would keep an eye on the battery filters and keep them clean. They’re very easy to clean or replace. More information in this video which shows you how to service them https://youtu.be/ddBEW93Pthk
    1
  19191. Hi! I would program the charge schedule to your departure time to work from home and then the rest of the way use gasoline.
    1
  19192. Hi! You’ll need to scan it for codes
    1
  19193. Hi! Thank you for watching! I wouldn’t be concerned for the battery in this case as the warranty on it starts from the day you drive it. And if your use for the car doesn’t involve repeated sitting for months at a time everything should be good. Wheel and deal on that one as you should get it for a really good price
    1
  19194. I don’t think you can go wrong with either. They are both very well made cars with very impressive features. Other than the EV things the hybrid RAV4 is very similar in features to the prime.
    1
  19195. Personally I don’t like stabil additives to cars. It’s possible that it could work.
    1
  19196. @US Thank you! You can’t go wrong with a Prius prime! They’re very nice cars. Are you looking to buy new or used?
    1
  19197. Hi! I work at a Toyota dealership in the Chicago area. Email for details.
    1
  19198. James Klafehn when I first saw the video thumbnail I had a different interpretation of I failed! I thought you actually ran it out of gas and EV range and bricked it! Curious did it set code p319300? Even pending? Check it for codes
    1
  19199. It could actually be an issue with the oil control valve in this case
    1
  19200. Hi! It’s possible. What’s the exact code you’re getting?
    1
  19201. Hi carlos! I would run it for a couple gas fill ups so you’re done with the engine break in.
    1
  19202. Personally I don’t think so. The 3rd gen has a better system.
    1
  19203. Hi! That is an option that works but cycling the fuel through remains the best option
    1
  19204. Yes it is
    1
  19205. That will vary by your electric cost. Maybe some of the owners will be able to share their experience with electric costs to give you an idea
    1
  19206. A Khan thank you for your comment. Unfortunately I am not familiar with honda designs and their products. The short time I spent working with honda was a long time ago and most of my information is outdated.
    1
  19207. Thank you! The way I do things. Yes it is a business for profit but I want to to put honesty and integrity over profits and numbers. You’ll see examples of this as things unfold
    1
  19208. Thank you for the advice. I’m exploring this with my contractor to see if it’s something we can pull off
    1
  19209. Some of these Venza models did that. Sometimes a torque sensor calibration took care of it
    1
  19210. Thank you! That’s actually something I will explore
    1
  19211. Hi! Post the video on YouTube and share a link.
    1
  19212. Thank you! Will do once we get closer and we’re hoping around June
    1
  19213. Hi! Yes it’s time to move on and provide something the dealership can’t. Just me and my wife initially
    1
  19214. Hi! You’ll need to jump start it to activate the high voltage battery and power up the electronics then it takes over.
    1
  19215. Thank you sir!
    1
  19216. Hi! That would be it. A thermostat if you want
    1
  19217. Once my shop is ready I will dedicate my full attention to it! Thanks
    1
  19218. Hi! It could be but hard to find a clean automotive shop for sale. I’d rather start my own place and make sure everything is done right
    1
  19219. Thank you! Southwest Chicago suburbs s
    1
  19220. Not yet. Once the shop opens
    1
  19221. Thank you! Honestly I don’t have personal experience with them
    1
  19222. Thank you! Do you have your seat belt buckled when you reverse? Some of them won’t release unless you have it buckled
    1
  19223. Close!
    1
  19224. Southwest Chicago suburbs. IlL announce it once the shop is ready to open

  19229. Chicago southwest suburbs
    1
  19230. I still do until this shop opens
    1
  19231. Hi! It’s a licensed shop every state has its laws but in my area they recognize the work being done as service history for warranty purposes.

  19233. Chicago southwest subs!
    1
  19234. Honestly everything is all over the place right not with car purchases. They did the deposits before to secure the car for orders but now they won’t have a problem selling that car if you change your mind so likely they’ll return your deposit
    1
  19235. Thank you! I have 2 daughters that are interested in cars but like to pursue other career paths.
    1
  19236. Which area are you in?

  19238. Hi! It’s 10 min drive which is a blessing. It actually happened very quickly as I’ve seen many locations and didn’t like them
    1
  19239. Thank you! Southwest suburbs. I’ll share exact details once we get closer
    1
  19240. Thank you! It’s in the Chicago southwest suburbs

    1
  19251. Hi! If you are going to pay the same for a new Lexus RX then I’d go with it of course the RX is a nicer highlander basically. But if it’s not new I would keep the highlander if you like it. You’ve had it since new and you can always turn around and sell it yourself and get your money back and then some in these times
    1
  19252. Thank you! Yes it is in the plans to get a floor scrubber
    1
  19253. I’ll share details as the shop comes closer to opening
    1
  19254. Southwest suburbs of Chicago.
    1
  19255. Agreed!

  19258. Chicago southwest subs
    1
  19259. Hi! Just make sure they’re approved for direct injection.
    1
  19260. Honestly I’d have to look them up in parts. That is parts internal. It could be just different suppliers
    1
  19261. Hi, Toyota, Lexus & Scion is all we’ll work on!
    1
  19262. Southwest suburbs. I’ll announce all details as we get closer to opening

  19272. Thank you! Name and location in the upcoming videos
    1
  19273. You read my mind 😉 that’s the compressor I’m going with exact brand and type
    1
  19274. Hi! I don’t have personal experience with it honestlu
    1
  19275. That’s what I wanted to do initially but it is not possible at this point because of the building design.

    1
  19285. Southwest suburbs. I’ll share the details once we get closer to opening
    1
  19286. Hi! Will look at it case to case basis
    1
  19287. This might stay for a bit as it’s not a high volume seller like the highlander for example
    1
  19288. Thanks David! After filming this video we looked into it and indeed it is a second heavier duty cleaner. We had to turn the car back to the owner and never got a chance to figure out how to activate it
    1
  19289. The grey one from the factory isn’t sold outside the factory. You can buy an aftermarket one if you must have grey. The grey and black from Toyota are exactly the same just different color. Highly recommend you use Toyota original FIPG for oil pan
    1
  19290. Sorry about that. Hope you all are safe
    1
  19291. Video coming up soon on that one
    1
  19292. It does have dual vvti with an electronic one on the intake and oil operated on the exhaust. Pretty reliable VVTI though
    1
  19293. Coming soon!
    1
  19294. It seems like they’re moving away from it slowly. I agree I really liked the stalk
    1
  19295. They all should have orange cables for high voltage wires
    1
  19296. Does it cross reference to a NX450h+?
    1
  19297. Hi! Both are good and have similar hybrid systems. Go with suits your needs and budget
    1
  19298. Hi! Splitting hairs honestly. They both will function similar in a snow situation. I wouldn’t choose one over the other for that reason.
    1
  19299. Hi! When you push the button on the handle it automatically goes into auto mode and opens
    1
  19300. Hi! Turbo engines will require more timely maintenance
    1
  19301. Hey brother. Send me an email at thecarcarenut@gmail.com with the subject YouTube collaboration
    1
  19302. Hi! Honestly any tire brand and type as long as they are the same size
    1
  19303. That was a surprise for me as well
    1
  19304. They’re good models as well
    1
  19305. Hi! The buttons will work with gloves as they are a physical button to press not a touch button
    1
  19306. Too many! Couldn’t hook up a scan tool to this one to find out
    1
  19307. Hi! If you move the shifter into other positions does it show which gear you’re in? Also does the check engine light come on when you turn the ignition on?
    1
  19308. Hi! Honestly we don’t have the hybrid IS in the US so I am not very familiar with their exact setup
    1
  19309. That is correct
    1
  19310. Hi! In the days where it gets really really cold the heat pump system won’t be able to keep up and the engine will come on. Otherwise for the rest of the year (9 months) it would work very well
    1
  19311. Hi! Lexus has done that to a few models for a gain of a few horsepowers
    1
  19312. Hi! It’s not likely an open grid. Would need to compare it to mine actually to make sure that the top lines actually are usable
    1
  19313. I was actually shocked when I saw this and checked it on the repair manual and new car features it doesn’t list the separate type at least for the NX450h+ please do update if you find anything
    1
  19314. Sorry I meant I would NOT recommend aftermarket struts
    1
  19315. Anywhere between 60-90k is good. Not as pressing in a hybrid transmission as it is in a conventional automatic transmission.
    1
  19316. That’s not too many miles.
    1
  19317. Hi! Not worried on the damage at 15k on the Avalon as it’s old damage. Now honestly this is a tough one because both those years are ones that I highly recommend. I would definitely go with the Avalon or Camry over the ES in this case as the ES is older. How’s the maintenance history on these?
    1
  19318. Hi! I would pass on a salvage title. Not worth the headache
    1
  19319. Hi! The U660e is known for being temperamental when it comes to fluid level. I have seen them not filled 100% from the factory that’s why I encourage people to do the fluid check and not just drain and fill the same amount. I honestly wouldn’t use any fluid in my Toyota transmission that doesn’t say Toyota on it because assuming that Another fluid is better or the same is a gamble and the fluid from Toyota is not very expensive. I wouldn’t take risks and just stick to original fluid on this one. On the fluid being brown that is also normal of WS fluid. It gets darker very quick after being changed and that’s no reason for alarm they’re all like this.
    1
  19320. Hi! That’s a common one on these. Put a small zip tie as a clamp is a bit over kill. The coolant loss needs looking into perhaps a pressure test but if it’s not dropping again in the next 5k miles I wouldn’t worry about too much
    1
  19321. Likely not but it might nose dive hard and slightly loose balance.
    1
  19322. Ok. This will need some diagnosis as follows. Swap the bulbs left to right. Then see if the problem moves to the other side or stays. If it moves you need a bulb. If it doesn’t you need a ballast which is the small computer attached to the head light housing
    1
  19323. Hi! Is it one bulb or both doing this?
    1
  19324. If it’s been well maintained yes
    1
  19325. Hi! Not yet
    1
  19326. Hi! Some diagnosis is needed to find out if it’s completely seized or something else is going on but usually replacement is the only fix. Manually retracting it is possible but not simple
    1
  19327. That might be a red flag as they’re usually not taken care of
    1
  19328. Hi! If it’s in good condition with good maintenance history and was not an ex rental car then yes it’s a good buy I’d say.
    1
  19329. It could be if the basics are covered. It extends to Bent hub or axle as well

  19330. Honestly these cars hold up very well. I would focus more on maintenance history over miles
    1
  19331. Hi! On the Avalon hybrid I don’t have a video yet. Looking for a car in the Chicago area to film with
    1
  19332. Some of them have it some don’t. It would be behind the vent on the back seat on the drivers side
    1
  19333. Thank you for watching my video! I am in the Chicago area
    1
  19334. They do have similar issues but the Avalon Camry and Lexus models are one of the least affected by this leak. And yes on those models an engine removal is required as there’s no room. Some have tried fixing the leak in the car at risk of not sealing it right and could start leaking again in the future
    1
  19335. Hi! They hardly have any issues honestly. Just if buying used make sure it has good service history
    1
  19336. Hi! You should be good to wait until after the trip
    1
  19337. Some models are affected. Contact your dealership and have them run your vin number to know if it’s covered and for how long
    1
  19338. Hi! I don’t know of any problems with the Avalon with battery drains. Anything aftermarket installed?
    1
  19339. Sure send me an email with the codes.
    1
  19340. Hi! Your 2013 Avalon hybrid might not have a filter from the factory. It usually sits behind the vent on the back seat drivers side. If you can’t see a filter behind the vent then it’s not equipped but you can install one for it
    1
  19341. Hi! Mainly the way they drive . The 13-15 had a noticeably harsher ride than the 16-18
    1
  19342. Ok that makes much more sense. That is normal. The pedal gets hard because there’s no power assist from the engine. So if it’s too hard to press for you to start the car try this. Make sure the car is in park. Then try to press and hold the start button. This should start the car if not, try pressing the button twice until the lights on the dash come on then press and hold the start button for a bit until the engine starts.
    1
  19343. That is odd. The pedal typically should get very hard to press when the car is off. And gets easier to press when the car is running.
    1
  19344. I see. Is this a hybrid Avalon by any chance?
    1
  19345. Thank you! Sorry missed this comment. So when you say the pedal goes to the floor. Does that happen the first time you start the car? The first time you use the brakes?
    1
  19346. Thank you for watching! What model and year Toyota?
    1
  19347. Hi! There’s a small soft mesh that can be bought for these
    1
  19348. I personally don’t like the look of it. I’d prefer the touring. I do like the exhaust note of the TRD but I’m not too big on the look. They’re otherwise the same as an XSE trim just with different suspension and an add on exhaust and the body stuff
    1
  19349. Hi! It can be reset on a 2009 corolla as well
    1
  19350. Hi! I wouldn’t worry about that code. It sets after you disconnect the battery and reconnect it
    1
  19351. Around 2016-2017 on the Toyota side.
    1
  19352. Hi! Those if you disconnect the battery for 10-15 min they reset
    1
  19353. Hi! Thank you for watching my channel. The 2005 Avalon is good but is common for oil leaks and variable valve timing gears issues
    1
  19354. Hi! Could you elaborate further on the factory reset?
    1
  19355. Buying a hybrid that’s not taken care of is not a good idea but if it has service records it’s a good car to buy.
    1
  19356. Hi! I think that’s a pretty good buy. If you like the car and like the way it drives you won’t regret buying it. Just take care of it and it will take care of you.
    1
  19357. Ok are you mechanically handy? Can you find and unplug the connector on the alternator? Not the one that’s bolted down, the one next to it while the car is running and see if the noise goes away.
    1
  19358. Hi! Honestly without hearing it’s hard to tell. If you’re in park and raise the rpm does the noise change?
    1
  19359. The warranty on powertrain is 60k miles and 5 years unless you have an extended warranty
    1
  19360. Sound about the same here! In Chicago occasionally we get the deep winter special of I have a rattle from the back and it’s ice cubes rattling in the bumper cover.
    1
  19361. The best way is to cover it with a water proof cover when not in use and do any due maintenance by time if this is not driven often. If the winter is cold below freezing make sure your anti freeze is good
    1
  19362. Hi! It’s not very hard. I don’t have a video for that.
    1
  19363. Hi! The flooding typically doesn’t happen in one time it accumulates over time. Try to keep up with the leaves in the fall season and everything will be ok
    1
  19364. Drains out the front and back
    1
  19365. Hi! Fluid film works great.
    1
  19366. Hi! If the car is designed for 87 then it won’t hurt direct injection to use 87
    1
  19367. Yea they cab
    1
  19368. Hi! Fluid film works good
    1
  19369. To start the hybrid system
    1
  19370. Hi! You’ll want to trace the drains to the sides of the trunk area and back feed your tool to clean it
    1
  19371. Hi! It’s normal in cold weather for the mileage to drop
    1
  19372. Hi! This is the earliest I would do it. No rush any time between now and 160k kms is good
    1
  19373. For the sun roof drain or the cowl?
    1
  19374. Hi! No specific maintenance on. Wipe it down every once in a while and perhaps put some silicone spray on it
    1
  19375. That must’ve costed a small fortune if they’re big trees!
    1
  19376. Hi! This one https://youtu.be/Km-cKNl3AOs
    1
  19377. Hi! Rust proofing?
    1
  19378. Hi! Anywhere between 50k miles to 100k. I’ll try to make a video in the future for it
    1
  19379. Hi! If you hold it down does it stop rattling?
    1
  19380. If you park it in the garage not as much honestly. You’re likely good
    1
  19381. Sorry which model scion. I wanted to see if we have one in the shop and I’ll figure out which screw it is
    1
  19382. email me with the subject Chicago Service Request.
    1
  19383. Hi! Double sunroof?
    1
  19384. Hi! In the description of the video there’s a link to the tool
    1
  19385. Might’ve went out of stock again. I’ll see if I can find a comparable tool
    1
  19386. Hi! The 2UZ doesn’t have any issues with VVTi rattles. The noise you hear is likely valve adjustment as these are manual. The 1zz can develop vvti issues but it’s rare
    1
  19387. Hi! That is a start rattle that can be normal for some hybrid models and not to get mistaken for a problem
    1
  19388. At a lesser degree it’s affected. Those that are heavily affected on the Lexus side actually had a campaign that took care of the problem
    1
  19389. Solution. I still have the block from the 200t waiting to be picked up by the scrappers. You can have it, go 2-4mm over size with a steel sleeve insert. Stress test it and report back in a video. Myself and my shop will be your first clients for future machining to save our customers the high costs of replacing these blocks when they have issues.
    1
  19390. I made a video on certified inspections. Similar
    1
  19391. Hi! Email me with the subject CHicago service request
    1
  19392. Hi! You could cause more harm than good replacing it when it’s overdue
    1
  19393. Hi! There might be a microscopic leak somewhere which honestly at that rate I wouldn’t even bother fixing anything. Top it off and keep an eye on it as usual.
    1
  19394. Experience. When a rock chip is painted over, it must be body work.
    1
  19395. Get it tested and if it fails replace it
    1
  19396. Hi! Yes locate the servo and remove. Then move the door by hand and see if it’s a servo or the actual door
    1
  19397. Hi! It’s made by quickjack
    1
  19398. No history on this one. The owner said it was swaying
    1
  19399. When I get another one, I’ll film it
    1
  19400. Hi! That video was released by mistake. Too sensitive of a subject and too much controversy that’s why I initially decided to cancel it but then it got released by mistake. This is an educational channel not a controversial conversation one.
    1
  19401. Hi! I recently bought a new car. See the community tab for more information
    1
  19402. Hi! I would be if you’re in the Chicago area. Email me with the subject Chicago service request.
    1
  19403. Not sure on the brand the owner provided the bulbs
    1
  19404. In the process of preparing this video Hopefully soon
    1
  19405. Hi! That’s the high voltage wire and it’s normal to have some green on it like that. That’s just the shield that protects it.
    1
  19406. Let’s do it!
    1
  19407. Hi! Yes I have and I like them as well. Just wish they’re available in all trims not only the basic one
    1
  19408. Hi! Email with the subject Chicago service request
    1
  19409. Hi! It wasn’t too bad but did need some cleaning and was starting to build up
    1
  19410. Hi! Unfortunately I don’t personally
    1
  19411. Hi! It’s made by blue point which is a snap on company
    1
  19412. I personally don’t like quick struts. I’d rather you just by the strut alone and reuse the original spring
    1
  19413. This is the 2AR-FXE 2.5 L
    1
  19414. Yep
    1
  19415. Hi Marie. You’re actually pretty close. Email me at thecarcarenut@gmail.com with the subject Chicago Service Request and we’ll set it up
    1
  19416. Hi! Leave it in park
    1
  19417. Hi! It’s between the radiator and the transmission pan you need to remove the shield underneath the car. And pin it before you drain and the fluid and keep it pinned until you finish checking the fluid level
    1
  19418. Hi! Just a single drain and fill
    1
  19419. Hi! I would leave it alone at this point
    1
  19420. Hi! I would change it every 60-90k miles
    1
  19421. Hi! I would do a single drain and fill every 30k miles on your 4Runner
    1
  19422. Hi! Changing the transmission filter is not required. There shouldn’t be harm in replacing it unless there’s contamination when the pan is down. The vci scan tool works but can be difficult to get working right.
    1
  19423. There’s a filter but it’s not normal practice to replace it on Toyota’s
    1
  19424. Hi! They use a machine if it’s a flush. If it’s a drain and fill then they use a similar procedure
    1
  19425. A flush if done right is ok. After the fluid it’s very important that the fluid level is checked to make sure everything is good otherwise a drain and fill
    1
  19426. I wouldn’t worry about measuring. Drain it and add fluid until it overflows and you’re all set.
    1
  19427. Thank you. For your Avalon hybrid no need to worry about the fluid temperature procedure. Drain and fill until is comes out and you’re done.
    1
  19428. Hi! I would change it again
    1
  19429. Hi! If the fluid was changed on time you don’t need to service the filter
    1
  19430. They’re not commonly replaced with Toyota transmissions.
    1
  19431. Hi! I would get it changed. I recommend you replace it every 60k miles or 6 years. You’re a bit over on miles but that’s not an issue. Get it replaced and you should have no issues
    1
  19432. Yes for the drain plug and fill plug
    1
  19433. I would check the level. I know it be hard to level the car but do it right or don’t do it at all. It’s totally up to you.
    1
  19434. Thank you for your comment. All Toyota transmissions have a filter. Any Toyota mechanic that tells you they don’t is misinformed. Having said that, through experience these filters almost never get clogged or cause issues. How do I know this? By seeing hundreds of Toyota’s make it well into the 300k miles+ on the original filter with only transmission fluid changes at the correct intervals. If you want to replace the filter in your transmission go for it. Just know that opening the transmission pan might seem simple but now you are working inside the transmission and the chances of contamination are much higher. Have a nice day.
    1
  19435. Hi! 95-113
    1
  19436. At this mileage I would leave it alone honestl.
    1
  19437. That’s is a crazy high price! You can buy - 4 liter can for less than $100 which is more than enough to replace the fluid. Is this in the US?
    1
  19438. Hi! Yes I would
    1
  19439. Yes it will work. Practice it first
    1
  19440. That transmission is not available in my area. I don’t want to give you incorrect information I would consult with your local dealership
    1
  19441. A general estimate of the level of the car. An example of a not level car is only the front lifted with jack stands and the rear on the ground
    1
  19442. Hi! Yes it does.
    1
  19443. Hi! It looks exactly the same as in the video and it’s located between the transmission and the radiator you might have to take some covers down. If you don’t find it there then your car is not equipped
    1
  19444. I wouldn’t replace the fluid twice and this procedure will get enough fluid replaced to refresh everything.
    1
  19445. Hi! Is it 4WD or 2WD?
    1
  19446. I would just drain and fill once. Overdoing it is also not good especially at higher miles.
    1
  19447. With the corolla check it with the car running and fully warmed up
    1
  19448. Hi! Don’t look for red fluid. Replace the fluid on time once and call it a day.
    1
  19449. Hi! Should be above 50 for normal operation. In park modern Toyotas has a transmission fluid warmer which warms the fluid in park
    1
  19450. Hi! 95-114
    1
  19451. Hi! 95-113
    1
  19452. 95-113 is the temp range
    1
  19453. What model and year is your Toyota?
    1
  19454. Hi! Yes it does
    1
  19455. Hi! Which model?
    1
  19456. Hi! On toyotas the transmission filter is not commonly replaced and causes no issues if the fluid is changed frequently
    1
  19457. Hi! No the hybrids are different. Here’s a dedicated video that applies to your Prius https://youtu.be/I1fP-RKsqG0
    1
  19458. Amen! Thank you bless you and your family as well.
    1
  19459. Yes I am! Proud to believe in the one true king Jesus Christ!
    1
  19460. Yes
    1
  19461. Hi! It should be ok to leave it and add the same amount and be ready to add more once you start it
    1
  19462. Hi! I wouldn’t honestly
    1
  19463. Over 100,000 miles.
    1
  19464. Hi! Thank you for watching my videos! Transmission fluid breaks down over time and it’s a good idea to replace it. If it’s never been replaced and the car has high mileage I would leave it alone as you could cause more harm than good. Correcting the level is good.
    1
  19465. Hi! At this mileage I would be a bit wary of replacing the fluid honestly. Does it have any history from previous owners showing replacement?
    1
  19466. It’s possible that it’s different. I’d need to know the transmission model. Take a picture of the black sticker on the door jamb of the drivers door.
    1
  19467. Hi! Your 2013 corolla has a dipstick. So drain and fill and check with the car running.
    1
  19468. Fluff in my opinion.
    1
  19469. Hi! Don’t really have experience with it. I normally don’t recommend any transmission additives
    1
  19470. Hi Mike! I would attempt to reset the transmission memory. I don’t have experience with the sonnax zip kits
    1
  19471. Hi! 95-113
    1
  19472. That would be the fluid that drained down because the car sat down
    1
  19473. So fluid expands and contracts. When the fluid is hot it takes up more space and will be higher level. When it’s cold it shrinks and takes less space. You want the fluid to line up with the top of the overflow tube when it’s at a specific temperature. If it’s colder it will be lower than the tube if it’s hotter it will be higher than the tube.
    1
  19474. Hi! On hybrids this procedure doesn’t apply. On hybrids drain the transmission and fill until it overflows and you’re done. The fluid type is Toyota ATF WS
    1
  19475. Hard at work here! 😂 best wishes with your car search.
    1
  19476. Hi! There’s a filter however it’s not normally replaced. If you replace the fluid on time you shouldn’t have issues with the filter.
    1
  19477. Not at all! Thank you for sharing it!
    1
  19478. Awesome! I’m glad to hear that!
    1
  19479. Ok I see. Still check fuses and go from there
    1
  19480. Yes put the car in park
    1
  19481. Hi! There’s no drain on the torque converter. If you want to replace the whole capacity of the fluid a flush is needed
    1
  19482. Hi! It’s 95-113
    1
  19483. Hi! Unfortunately I don’t have access to the repair manual at this moment. Add a comment tomorrow around 5 pm central time and I’ll get back to you
    1
  19484. Yes
    1
  19485. Hi! I wouldn’t worry about the filter as it’s not a common practice to replace them on Toyota transmissions. You don’t need to do the procedure of park drive if you can read the temperature of the transmission on your scan gauge. Once it gets between 95-113 adjust the fluid.
    1
  19486. Thank you! Glad I could help
    1
  19487. Engine and transmission wise yes they are very similar except the mounting and the subframe
    1
  19488. There’s a risk replacing the fluid now but if you do only a single drain and fill
    1
  19489. Hi! Thank you for watching! The temp range is 95-113 F
    1
  19490. I would do the drain and fill once and call it a day.
    1
  19491. It replaced enough of the fluid to keep things fresh
    1
  19492. Some do and some use a machine to replace the fluid through the lines then check the fluid level afterwards using a scan tool which is the easiest way. There’s also a special tool that allows to check the transmission fluid level at operating temperature.
    1
  19493. If you remove the torque converter just drain it and at that point might as well take the pan and clean it.
    1
  19494. I honestly don’t have experience with transmission shops as I work at a dealership. As long as they are using original fluid and understand the overflow type transmission fluid level( I hope they do as they are a transmission shop) then it should be ok.
    1
  19495. Hi! Which transmission and engine does it have?
    1
  19496. Hi! Hopefully soon I can make a video for that.
    1
  19497. Hi! Yes you can! Just make sure the scan tool is capable of reading transmission fluid temperature
    1
  19498. Hi! The fluid expands as it warms up and contracts as it cools that’s why when it’s cold nothing is coming out then it expands and it reaches the overflow tube. You want to run the trans overfilled better than under filled when checking the fluid level. Also you will be in park when checking the level but the indicator will show D regardless of which gear you’re in. Hope this helps
    1
  19499. Hi! That’s the punch weld and that’s where you place the jack stand
    1
  19500. Hi! Which model?
    1
  19501. Hi! Likely not related. You’ll need to check the fluid level to be sure.
    1
  19502. When the level is too high we’ve seen some noise concerns from certain transmissions also leaks could happen but this is with very overfilled transmissions. Under filled will cause delayed shifting especially when cold or the transmission going in neutral when making turns
    1
  19503. You can do it like that however you’re not sure that the level you started with is exact. If you’re going through all the trouble of draining and measuring you might as well check the fluid level.
    1
  19504. I would replace it every 6 years or 60k whichever comes first and you should have no issues
    1
  19505. Hi Manuel and thank you for watching my videos! Regarding the transmission. It is normally not recommended that you replace the trans fluid as break in like the engine in some cases.
    1
  19506. Ok that might be different then. Look on the door sticker and see which transmission model it has
    1
  19507. A 2020 RAV4 in the US doesn’t have a CVT, it has the 8 speed transmission. Is this a US model?
    1
  19508. Hi! Is this a rav4 hybrid?
    1
  19509. Hi! I would have the dealership or a trusted shop do this using Toyota ATF WS fluid at 60k miles.
    1
  19510. This will work on your Camry v6
    1
  19511. Hi! Because you don’t know if the fluid level was right to begin with
    1
  19512. Hi! Same way just use the correct fluid
    1
  19513. Hi! There is a filter but it’s not commonly replaced
    1
  19514. It shouldn’t have a CVT it should have a 6 speed automatic. On the label on the door jamb what is the transmission name?
    1
  19515. Is this a hybrid?
    1
  19516. Yes. 2011-2020 siennas don’t have a dipstick. 2017-2020 siennas has the 8 speed which on some requires the cooler bypass to be pushed in as I showed in the video.
    1
  19517. Hi! Every 60k miles
    1
  19518. Hi! Change the transmission fluid at 60k and the diffs every 30k
    1
  19519. Yes
    1
  19520. I would either get a scan tool or use the method I explained in the video
    1
  19521. Hi! Yes
    1
  19522. Hi! Things happen and that’s ok. Add the same amount and verify the fluid level per the procedure and everything will be ok
    1
  19523. That one is 7000xlt
    1
  19524. Hi Jason! It’s a quickjack. quickjack.com
    1
  19525. Hi! Check the fluid level
    1
  19526. Did you drain the oil already or no?
    1
  19527. The 24 one can be tight to loosen. I haven’t seen one break. Tap on it lightly with a hammer ( not too much force!) and that should help it loosen up
    1
  19528. Likely seized and will end up breaking. If they break you’ll need to heat them up and extract them
    1
  19529. Hi! This does work for the Tacoma and a more specialized truck trans fluid video is coming very this week
    1
  19530. Hi! 104-113 is good. Dealership on the washers. And a single replacement is sufficient
    1
  19531. Hi! One drain and fill is sufficient to renew the additive package. I would stick with Toyota original fluid on this one.
    1
  19532. Hi! Factory fluid is not always perfect and if you’ve done all the work of draining and measuring and adding why not just spend a bit more time to make sure it’s a perfect level.
    1
  19533. Joey email me with the title Chicago service request and I’ll get back to you.
    1
  19534. Correction. The fluid range is actually 97-115 F my bad. And the jumper wire procedure does work on your truck just instead of the D light you’ll use the A/T OIL TEMP indicator
    1
  19535. Interesting. If it doesn’t have a dipstick then it’s an overflow type. The fluid temp range should be around 97-115 F
    1
  19536. Hi! That should have a dipstick.
    1
  19537. Hi! There’s no cooler bypass on your camey
    1
  19538. Hi! Shift the car into park
    1
  19539. Every 60k miles or 6 years
    1
  19540. 95-114 is what I’m looking at. That might’ve been a typo
    1
  19541. The engine is running and the car is in park
    1
  19542. Contamination usually
    1
  19543. Hi! At this mileage I would leave it alone
    1
  19544. Hi! They are good so far. They do resolve the high drive of cvts on take off
    1
  19545. Hi! 95-113
    1
  19546. Yes this applies to your 2011 Camry hybrid and actually all Toyota hybrid transmissions.
    1
  19547. Yes
    1
  19548. Hi! I’d be careful. You can replace the fluid but there’s risk of issues developing
    1
  19549. Hi! 95-113 and check it in the area I indicated in the video. Still cycle park to neutral to cycle the fluid. Doesn’t matter on the fill plug if it’s on or off when you check the fluid level. And replace the gaskets
    1
  19550. Some will some will tell you not to. I would change it every 60k or 6 years
    1
  19551. Hi! This procedure is not for hybrids. I will have a video very soon exclusive for Toyota hybrids including your Prius.
    1
  19552. If it’s a 4 cylinder is has a dipstick so drain and fill and check on the dipstick with the car running. If it doesn’t have a dipstick V6 model then follow the video
    1
  19553. Hi! On hybrids you can change the fluid at any time on non hybrids once they get over 100k miles or so the risk increases
    1
  19554. Hi! It’s the same procedure and the temp range is around 95-113
    1
  19555. Hi! 95-114
    1
  19556. 95-113
    1
  19557. Hi! V6 or 4 cylinder?
    1
  19558. Amen!
    1
  19559. Thank you for your comment! Your highlander does have an overflow type transmission so the procedure in this video applies 100% to your highlander. Thank you! The lord is at the center of it all!
    1
  19560. It might have one that looks different but it’s there
    1
  19561. What year and model?
    1
  19562. Hi! Which engines in both cars?
    1
  19563. I wouldn’t worry. At most I would check the fluid level to be on the safe side. Mountain driving will cause the transmission to hold lower gears longer. If it doesn’t do that driving on flat areas you’re good.
    1
  19564. A transmission flush thats done right is ok. Otherwise a drain and fill is safer.
    1
  19565. Hi! It’s not too late to change the transmission fluid and diff and transfer case. A drain and fill is safer
    1
  19566. Yes but not always.
    1
  19567. I would use ATF WS from another dealership and would change it every 60k or 6 years.
    1
  19568. 95-114
    1
  19569. Hi! Which model?
    1
  19570. Hi! Around 99-115
    1
  19571. This works for your rav4 and that’s the temp range
    1
  19572. Hi! If the fluid is replaced on time you don’t need to.
    1
  19573. Typically so little that you barely can see it. If it has too much metal I would actually drop the pan and inspect the magnets which usually caught a lot of it.
    1
  19574. Hi! WS fluid naturally is a bit darker than usual.
    1
  19575. That’s likely a 0.25 qt overfill initially before you drained it. Give it a week or so and double check the fluid level
    1
  19576. Hi! It has to be running to check the level.
    1
  19577. Hi! On your Camry the front differential is part of the transmission so when you change the transmission fluid you also change the front differential fliod
    1
  19578. Hi! It does work for your Lexus. I wouldn’t install a catch can as that engine is not really known for significant oil in the intake issues.
    1
  19579. I meant if you needed to you could pull it off alone. And as far as tools needed you could pull it off without a scan tool as the video shows.
    1
  19580. The equipment you need is a small piece of wire for the jumper and rest is tool less
    1
  19581. Hi! You can but I’d say if you did all that why don’t you just finish the job and verify the level is correct
    1
  19582. Hi! I wouldn’t use any fluid that’s not original on any Toyota transmission.
    1
  19583. Hi! At this mileage and age I would leave it alone
    1
  19584. Hi! 95-114 for both
    1
  19585. Ok then it’s the 4 cylinder model and it should be 95-113 and you should be good with a drain and fill at this mileage
    1
  19586. Hi. Does your model have a dipstick?
    1
  19587. Beautiful 2016 Camry XSE 😝
    1
  19588. I wouldn’t take a chance. I would use original fluid and not have to worry about it
    1
  19589. I hear you. They mention sealed because it doesn’t have a dipstick but in reality it’s not sealed at all as you see in this video.
    1
  19590. Hi! You’re replacing enough of the transmission fluid to keep things fresh and protected.
    1
  19591. Thank you! On your Camry hybrid the transmission fluid is very easy to do. Just drain and fill until it overflows from the fill plug and you’re done. Much easier than the sealed transmission
    1
  19592. I don’t agree with the dealership. When the transmission have shifting issues in the future they’re not going to be there to help with the cost. I would get it replaced with original fluid which is not an expensive thing to do and have the peace of mind for the future
    1
  19593. Thank you for watching my video! I wouldn’t leave the hose attached. Install the plug on without tightening it while you finish adjusting the level and if needed take it out and add fluid. I would replace the gaskets while at it they’re very inexpensive from the dealership.
    1
  19594. Hi! Every 60k or 6 years
    1
  19595. Hi! Yes you can request a specific mechanic
    1
  19596. Hi! At this mileage I would leave the transmission alone and if I was doing anything I would do one drain and fill and call it a day.
    1
  19597. Yes this works on your Camry non hybrid
    1
  19598. Around 2007
    1
  19599. Hi! Does your owner manual say to exclusively use 0w16?
    1
  19600. Hi! The idea is to refresh part of the fluid. You could do it twice but I advise against it. Replacing the transmission fluid too much is also not good for it.
    1
  19601. Hi! They figured it was kinda of redundant with the down shifts available and most cars now having sequential shifting.
    1
  19602. Hi! You can do that but if the fluid level was not good before it will still be the same. Also if you went through all the trouble of measuring why not spend a bit more time and make sure the level is good
    1
  19603. Yes as long as it’s not hybrid.
    1
  19604. Hi! 95–113 for your Corolla
    1
  19605. Hi! Nothing really special on that one. A simple drain and fill.
    1
  19606. Hi! Chicago area
    1
  19607. Hi! Yes that sounds right. Your logic is very correct. I say hurry because some folks will take their time to crawl under the car assuming the process takes 2 seconds when it could drain for a while. But you have plenty of time in your case
    1
  19608. Hi! Yes the same procedure works for your sienna
    1
  19609. There’s a special tool that allows you to do the fluid level check at operating temperature
    1
  19610. 95-113
    1
  19611. When you are doing putting the car in fluid level mode where the D light come on put the car in park as you wait for the fluid to trickle
    1
  19612. Hi! Is this a v6 model?
    1
  19613. Hi! Yes you can and I actually encouraged it in the video so you can get a feel for it before the actual procedure
    1
  19614. I would change it at 60k or 6 years. I don’t really know any shops in new york
    1
  19615. Hi! They do have a filter which doesn’t need replacement of the fluid is changed on time
    1
  19616. Neither car will have the cooler bypass
    1
  19617. Yes it is. Exactly the same as the video.
    1
  19618. I just checked the same procedure works for your Lexus
    1
  19619. Thank you! Note that the WS fluid by nature is darker than your conventional transmission fluid. I wouldn’t change it twice if it’s still dark. You are only refreshing the additives in the fluid. This procedure works on your 18 rav4. I would have to check on your Lexus I am not able to check it at the moment. Send me an email so I won’t lose track and I can get this information to you
    1
  19620. Hi! The car needs to be in park when you’re actually checking the fluid level. The D light will come on solid/flash even though you’re in park. And usually you have enough time to check it unless the trans is too hot
    1
  19621. Hi! 95-113 and I wouldn’t change the transmission filter.
    1
  19622. Hi! That’s possibly half a quart or less. Not significant but you’ll want to drain a very small amount and recheck it.
    1
  19623. Hi! That’s a bit high for a dealership. Around $300 is about normal for dealerships
    1
  19624. Hi! I would change it every 60k miles or 6 years
    1
  19625. Ok I verified the data your transmission drain and fill capacity is 1.7L so by removing the pan and replacing the filter you likely upped that number to 2L which means your transmission likely was overfilled by 3 liters to begin with!!! I’d drive it for a week or two and double check the level just to verify and you’re all set.
    1
  19626. That’s interesting. What year is your FJ?
    1
  19627. So did you measure the amount that you drained initially?
    1
  19628. Hi! If the fluid is changed on time you don’t need to on Toyota transmissions
    1
  19629. Hi! Add new fluid then follow the procedure to check the fluid level. Likely slightly overfilled
    1
  19630. Honestly this will depend on the dealership. I work at a dealership and I will honestly tell you not all dealerships are good. If you have good experience with your local dealership then go for it. The only good thing about dealerships is if things go south they usually take care of it
    1
  19631. Hi! Email me with the subject Chicago service request
    1
  19632. Hi! The transmission holds more but that’s what needed to renew the additives and keep things fresh I wouldn’t recommend you replace the fluid multiple times. There’s a filter but almost never gets dirty or clogged so it’s not normally recommended to replace it.
    1
  19633. Hi! In park
    1
  19634. Hi! It should work try it before you drain the fluid
    1
  19635. If the fluid is changed on time no
    1
  19636. Yes it is
    1
  19637. No of using a temp gun you’d be bypassing that whole procedure
    1
  19638. On the Prius yes you can change it. And search car care nut hybrid transmission on YouTube and you’ll find a video for it
    1
  19639. Hi! Thank you! Yes it does apply to your Tacoma.
    1
  19640. Hi! You never know if the fluid level was right to begin with. If you do a job, follow procedure and do it right. I highly advise you not to cut corners with transmission fluid service
    1
  19641. Hi! Your Camry doesn’t have the bypass
    1
  19642. Elio Ricci they word it as transmission it’s actually a hybrid differential. It contains a regular differential and an electric motor. It uses WS fluid and just like the hybrid transmission it’s a simple drain and fill until it overflows from the fill plug and it’s done. No need to adjust the level like a conventional automatic transmission.
    1
  19643. Hi! I would change the fluid every 60k miles or 6 years regardless of towing or not. If you change the fluid on time there’s no need to change the filter.
    1
  19644. Hi! I don’t have access to the system at this time. Reply to this comment and I’ll get back to yiu
    1
  19645. For a 2017 Toyota Camry with a 6 speed trans it should be WS ATF
    1
  19646. Hi! Put the car in park when the light comes on
    1
  19647. Hi! When you replace the transmission fluid you also replace the differential fluid as they are one
    1
  19648. Hi! Honestly there would be some trial and error to make it work but it’s possible
    1
  19649. Hi! I would leave it alone at this point
    1
  19650. Hi! I’d you did all this work might as well check the fluid level
    1
  19651. Hi! That’s correct. The front differential and the transmission are one unit and share the same fluid.
    1
  19652. Hi! Shift the car back to park
    1
  19653. If you’re using a temp gun you don’t need someone in the truck. Just when you start it shift in drive and reverse a couple of times to circulate the fluid and get an accurate reading
    1
  19654. Thank you for watching! It’s around the same yes. On the tundra don’t forget the cooler bypass. Gotta get pushed in and a pin installed
    1
  19655. Hi! If the level was right to begin with you’d be ok. But unless you check it, you won’t know. And if you went through the trouble of draining and filling why not just check the level?
    1
  19656. Thank you for watching my video. Your Prius has a different transmission fluid setup. It’s actually very simple just a drain and fill until it overflows and you’re done. I recommend you replace the fluid on your Prius every 60-90k and you should have no issues.
    1
  19657. Hi! I would do a drain and fill. Temp should be around 99-115
    1
  19658. You are replacing enough of the fluid to refresh the additive package.
    1
  19659. Hi! Every 60k miles or 6 yeats
    1
  19660. Hi! As soon as you get a fluid trickle install the drain plug with a new gasket
    1
  19661. Hi! Yes
    1
  19662. Hi! Your 2018 Camry SE doesn’t have separate front differential fluid. When you replace the transmission fluid you also replace the differential as they are shared.
    1
  19663. 104-113
    1
  19664. Hi! There’s some risk to replace it at this mileage
    1
  19665. You could if the fluid level was correct to begin with
    1
  19666. I would check the transMission fluid level first and go from there.
    1
  19667. I would check the fluid. What model Toyota?
    1
  19668. Hi! If the fluid is not replaced on time replacing the filter is a good idea. I wouldn’t double replace the fluid
    1
  19669. Robert the keyword here is “hopefully” 😉
    1
  19670. That depends on the texh
    1
  19671. Hi! If the fluid is changed on time you don’t need to service the filter on Toyota and Lexus transmissions
    1
  19672. Hi! You’d just need the car to sit to be at ambient temperature and check it right away
    1
  19673. You have a fluid temp range. Usually from 95-114. Anywhere in that range you’re good to check the fluid level.
    1
  19674. Hi! In some cases you’ll have 15 minutes or more.
    1
  19675. Hi! I would replace it every 60k or 6 years so you still have time and mileage
    1
  19676. Hi! Yes your 4Runner has an overflow type transmission or also called “sealed” but in all honestly there’s nothing sealed about it. It just doesn’t have a dipstick.
    1
  19677. Hi david! It’s the same process for the 8 speed transmission. Slight difference is the drain plug is in the middle of the transmission case because the pan is in the front. I am planning a video in the near future dedicated to the 8 speed
    1
  19678. Hi! They do have a torque converter but other than a flush you won’t be able to replace the fluid there
    1
  19679. No most of them are not level to begin with. I would just measure the height of the car when it’s up
    1
  19680. Hi! It’s very difficult honestly as the oil pan is on he side and obstructed by the sun frame. I personally wouldn’t worry about the filter even if was easy to access. Change the fluid every 60k miles or 6 years and call it a day.
    1
  19681. Hi Charles! Thank you for watching my video! The trans temps for the highlander are 103-114. For both tundras and sequoia is 99-111
    1
  19682. Hi! The same procedure works on your tundra. Depends which year it is you could have the cooler bypass which would be on the passenger side of the transmission in a very easy and open location.
    1
  19683. The timing chain has a self adjusting tensioner so no need to do anything or worry about the chain. Also the trans fluid should be ok to change if you’ve changed it before but I wouldn’t worry about the filter as they rarely cause issues.
    1
  19684. Toyota Hybrids don’t have alternators 😀
    1
  19685. That’s normal. Nothing to worry about.
    1
  19686. Hi! Honestly no and I don’t recommend it
    1
  19687. Hi! Any auto parts store buy a small piece of wire
    1
  19688. What happened? Miles model and year?
    1
  19689. If the light is off you’re colder than the temp range if it’s flashing it’s over. It sounds like your light was off so you won’t need to let cool down
    1
  19690. Hi! Try it again when the light comes on solid. If it keeps doing the same thing leave it as it is and add 0.2 quarts of fluid and you’re good.
    1
  19691. Hi! I’m working on recording a video soon for the hybrid transmission fluid. I’m hoping towards the end of February or beginning of march
    1
  19692. Hi! Your car doesn't have the cooler bypass. only on highlander and sienna models with that transmission
    1
  19693. In park.
    1
  19694. Hi! 104-113 F for your highlander.
    1
  19695. Yes similar process. Just located the fill plug on the side of the transmission. The Tacoma could have 2 drain plugs on the transmission one if the overflow tube and the other one is the drain.
    1
  19696. Thank you for watching my video! Amsoil is a great oil company. However for Toyota transmissions I wouldn’t recommend anything but original fluids.
    1
  19697. Hi! Honestly that’s a border line one. I would at most do a drain and fill and call it a day.
    1
  19698. Hi! When your light came on and you pull the pin you will put the car in park but the D light will still come on when you are at the correct temperature range to adjust
    1
  19699. Hi! At this mileage I would leave it alone honestly
    1
  19700. Yes as long as it’s not hybrid.
    1
  19701. Yes
    1
  19702. Hi! It does apply
    1
  19703. Gotcha! I just wanted to make sure! I hear you on the complication but if you practice it and get used to the procedure it’s actually the most accurate.
    1
  19704. Thank you for your comment. Could you elaborate?
    1
  19705. Yes it would
    1
  19706. Hi! A flush is nit possible o these just a drain and fill
    1
  19707. Hi! The procedure doesn’t work on some corolla models which requires you to use a scan tool
    1
  19708. Yes this procedure applies to all 4th gen rav4s except hybrids.
    1
  19709. Hi! Dealerships use a scan tool which shows the transmission temperature and take 2 seconds. Also we don’t wait for the transmission to cool down because Toyota has a special tool that allows for fluid level check at operating temperate.
    1
  19710. Hi! I would use Toyota original fluids. CVt fluid for your iM and WS for the tundra
    1
  19711. Hi! I would.
    1
  19712. No you’re all good my brother! No need to worry.
    1
  19713. WS fluid always comes out dark. That’s normal for it. Burnt fluid will have a very bad smell and you’ll tell right away
    1
  19714. That’s awesome! I would change it again the earliest at 30k
    1
  19715. That’s weird. I would just use the temp gun method or use a scan tool. I’ve tried this procedure on a lot of cars including Lexus and it works.
    1
  19716. I agree I see it odd too but that’s how this procedure works. It usually does take about 5 minutes from very cold to that temperature
    1
  19717. Interesting. Keep waiting for it. This means the transmission is too cold and not warming up. See if it comes on solid after say half an hour is too much but give it time
    1
  19718. Yes that is correct and I mention that in my video
    1
  19719. You’re welcome! Happy thanksgiving
    1
  19720. It could be a while. A few hours should do it
    1
  19721. So once it comes on solid for 2 seconds if it goes off after that the temperature it too cold.when it comes on solid is when you should adjust the fluid level. If it starts flashing then it’s too hot. Shut it off and let it cool down and restart
    1
  19722. Where the car temp is doesn’t matter. You will still see the D light come on solid for 2 seconds. Try the procedure again. It takes a few tries to get the gist of it then it’s easy after that
    1
  19723. Once you do the back and forth you’ll end up with the D light staying on solid for 2 seconds regardless of where your shifter is. Then go to park and wait for the light to come on solid to start adjusting the fluid level is that not happening
    1
  19724. Did it flash then go off?
    1
  19725. Every 60k miles or 6 years
    1
  19726. Hi! Yes it should
    1
  19727. Hi! 104-113
    1
  19728. Honestly I wouldn’t personally use it.
    1
  19729. Yes I’m not too worried about overfilling it slightly
    1
  19730. It won’t hurt to do that. No harm in slightly overfilling the trans. Try it.
    1
  19731. Unfortunately at this point it the fluid level is good and the memory has been reset it’s something with the trans. Possibly a valve body issue or clutches.
    1
  19732. Usually after around 15-20 minute drive it settles and stays that way and it only gets better with shift points.
    1
  19733. Yes do you have it?
    1
  19734. Ok I would get the memory reset and see if that improves things. You’d need a Toyota scan tool to do that or a capable aftermarket scan tool.
    1
  19735. Is the transmission flare when it’s cold? If not which gear or driving situation does it flare?
    1
  19736. The fluid temp range is 104-113
    1
  19737. Do you mean the temperature range?
    1
  19738. The d light is right
    1
  19739. Hi! If it’s not a hybrid then yes it’s the same process
    1
  19740. Hi! That’s ok. You replace enough of the fluid to renew the additive package and keep things protected.
    1
  19741. That’s not an accurate method. You’d want to let the transmission cool down and recheck the level accurately.
    1
  19742. Tracy Harridath email in the description of video. Send it and let me take a look.
    1
  19743. The Toyota Axio is not a model sold in my area so I’d need a bit more information. What engine and transmission code does it have?
    1
  19744. Hi! That model is not sold in my area. Could you find the name of the transmission on the sticker on the door jamb?
    1
  19745. Hi! If it was overfilled or under filled to begin with. If you went through the trouble of draining and filling why not spend another 10 minutes and be 100% sure of the level?
    1
  19746. Auto parts store
    1
  19747. You don’t need to measure it. Simply fill it until it overflows at room temperature.
    1
  19748. On hybrid transmissions it doesn’t really make a big difference on temp. You can do it when it’s cold or hot.
    1
  19749. Hi! For your Camry hybrid the procedure is different and much simpler. Here’s a video for your Camry hybrid https://youtu.be/I1fP-RKsqG0
    1
  19750. It’s not common practice to replace Toyota transmission filters.
    1
  19751. Hi! This video is for non hybrids. This one applies to your Prius which is not sealed https://youtu.be/I1fP-RKsqG0
    1
  19752. You want the car to be level not the transmission. Did you remove the overflow tube?
    1
  19753. Hi! It’s not. On Toyota transmissions the filter will not need replacing if the fluid is replaced on time
    1
  19754. Hi Eric. It could be but I’d be checking everything else first. Perhaps a loose heat shield?
    1
  19755. You’d want the fluid trickle when you are in the temp range or when the D light is on solid.
    1
  19756. Hi Eric. It does accumulate moisture once opened. If it’s only a few weeks you’re good but I wouldn’t store it and reuse it longer than that.
    1
  19757. Hi! Yea
    1
  19758. Hi! Yes you want the car running as you wait for the trickle
    1
  19759. Hi! Both are good if done correctly. For higher mileage transmission a drain and fill is safer.
    1
  19760. Hi. 99-115
    1
  19761. You can’t flush the CvT fluid on that car. It has to be a drain and fill
    1
  19762. Hi! You can’t do a flush on a CVt which model is it?
    1
  19763. Hi! At this point a drain and fill is the most I would do
    1
  19764. What year, model and engine do you have?
    1
  19765. You can. But if you went though all that I would just finish it by checking the fluid level
    1
  19766. Hi! The idea is to replace enough fluid to refresh the additive package. You’ll never get the whole capacity of the transmission fluid replaced. It’s the same procedure for those years sequoia
    1
  19767. Yes.
    1
  19768. Hi! At this age and mileage it’s safe. As long as it’s done right and followed by a fluid level check.
    1
  19769. 97-115
    1
  19770. Hi! V6 or 4 cylinder? Also 4WD or 2WD model?
    1
  19771. That’s correct you don’t need to use the overflow stuff. Just conventional dipstick with the engine at idle
    1
  19772. Hi! You can take a sample through the dipstick in that model. Use a long straw and a transfer pump.
    1
  19773. Hi! Put it in park
    1
  19774. Hi! If the fluid is changed on time you don’t need to
    1
  19775. I see. That transmission is not available in the US so service information on it is very limited on my side. I would contact your local Toyota dealership and inquire about what fluid they’re using
    1
  19776. Hi! Which market is this in and what the is the code name of the transmission on the door jamb?
    1
  19777. Glad I could help!
    1
  19778. You have to remove the jumper wire after you start the procedure
    1
  19779. Did you have done at a shop? Or did it yourself?
    1
  19780. I’ll look it up when I get a chance. Reply to this comment so I won’t miss it
    1
  19781. Hi! Yes it’s the same
    1
  19782. Hi! Every 60k or 6 years. It’s the same procedure in the video. If you’re not comfortable have a dealership do the replacement
    1
  19783. Hi! 95-113 and I wouldn’t use the infrared method with the new 8 speed transmission
    1
  19784. Hi Carlos. I wouldn’t at this mileage. You could do more harm than good at this point. I would just leave it alone.
    1
  19785. Hi! You can consider a filter if this is the first replacement. The transfer case and differential fluids every 30k
    1
  19786.  @ruizces  hi the procedure will work the same on your car and the fluid temp is 102-120
    1
  19787. Hi! 2WD or AWD?
    1
  19788. Yes that’s correct
    1
  19789. Ask the dealership they might be able to help.
    1
  19790. Then you’d want to go to repair manual then search for transmission fluid adjustment and you should find it. It will list all transmissions for each model and you have to navigate through the tree on the left to find it
    1
  19791. Huh I’m actually gonna try it because I don’t think it looks the same as the one we have access to at the dealership. Were you able to search by model and year and category?
    1
  19792. I’m not sure about the membership site that you get but if it’s the same as the dealership you can print directly or print as PDF to save it for later.
    1
  19793. Hi! I don’t recommend this method as you could run the transmission low on fluid.
    1
  19794. Hi! Yes it will.
    1
  19795. Hi! It’s actually planned for the near future
    1
  19796. Hi! Filters don’t need replacement on toyota transmissions if the fluid is changed on time. You can’t drain the torque converter on toyota transmissions
    1
  19797. Yes. You want to compensate for it.
    1
  19798. Should be up to 5
    1
  19799. Hi! A simple drain and fill until it overflows.
    1
  19800. No reset needed for fluid replacement
    1
  19801. Hi! Should be between 3-4 each
    1
  19802. Hi! Slightly different location but the procedure is the same
    1
  19803. Hi! That’a ok if it’s done right followed after the flush by checking the fluid level.
    1
  19804. Yes
    1
  19805. Hi! If you have around 60k miles a flush is ok if they follow it with a fluid level check
    1
  19806. Hi! There’s a risk of issues changing the fluid at this time if it’s never been replaced
    1
  19807. Yes it does
    1
  19808. Hi! I would inspect the fluid first
    1
  19809. Yes it should be ok
    1
  19810. I personally would stick with the original WS
    1
  19811. Does it stop vibrating when you remove the wire?
    1
  19812. No harm done if you practice it. I actually encourage you to try it a few times before changing the fluid so you are familiar with it
    1
  19813. Thank you!
    1
  19814. Hi! The dealership will need to inspect the issue and see if a software update is available
    1
  19815. Hi! You can use a paper clip or any small piece of automotive wiring found at any parts store
    1
  19816. 2013 corolla doesn’t have this procedure, it has a dipstick.
    1
  19817. Hi! Around 95-114 for both
    1
  19818. Hi! One drain and fill is good.
    1
  19819. Hi! On the 8 speed using the temp gun method is not as accurate. The temp range is 95-114
    1
  19820. Hi! Anywhere between 60-90k miles is good
    1
  19821. Hi! Yes it’s the same.
    1
  19822. Hi! You don’t need to replace the mass air flow at all! Unless there’s an issue with it. Cleaning it can be done but maybe every 30-50k if that.
    1
  19823. Hi! The moisture content needs to be measured. Typically every 30-40k
    1
  19824. Hi! On 2WD models you don’t have a transfer case. So replacing the transmission fluid is it
    1
  19825. Hi! I would change it every 60k or 6 years. Lifetime fluid is a big question mark and experience is showing otherwise. Don’t worry as you’re at 70k just get it replaced and you won’t have to worry about it
    1
  19826. It’s a 50/50 risk of slipping or shifting issues
    1
  19827. Hi! At this mileage I would leave it alone
    1
  19828. Hi! This replaces enough fluid to keep things fresh. If you want to replace the total capacity a flush with a machine is the best way
    1
  19829. Thank you for your comment. It’s on the list and will come In the future. The procedure is the same for most hybrid Toyota’s
    1
  19830. Hi! Yes it does
    1
  19831. Hi! It’s a bit different. Very close to the one in the corolla hybrid in this video https://youtu.be/U7mjpvRihVU
    1
  19832. That depends on the model and year.
    1
  19833. Hi! They are good in their own prospective ways. I wouldn’t say one is better than the other.
    1
  19834. Hi David! Im hoping I’ll get to the highlander hybrid in late February or early March.
    1
  19835. I wouldn’t use water.
    1
  19836. Hi. Please post your question here and I’ll get back to you.
    1
  19837. Don’t have it available at the moment. Go to parts.Lexus.com and enter your vin and search for G92DH
    1
  19838. Hi Robert. I wouldn’t be worried. They went to a paper filter in an effort to make it more of a filter less of a mesh but they both do the same thing.
    1
  19839. Hi! No filter for the one under the seat
    1
  19840. Thank you for watching alex!
    1
  19841. Hi! Here’s a video that will help with your Camry which is essentially the same just uses a 5/8 spark plug socket https://youtu.be/IAb9b3Hrea0
    1
  19842. Hi! I would try replacing the bulbs first and see if that improves things
    1
  19843. Hi! That’s one video I need to get working on!
    1
  19844. Good catch. I did this video for demonstration for viewers I wasn’t replacing the plugs on this truck
    1
  19845. Hi! It’s very simple honestly just removing the air valve which is very easy! I would have her give it a shot!
    1
  19846. Hi! Usually we punch two holes in the can and haven’t had issues with metal shavings but a can opener can help as well.
    1
  19847. Hi! Which year?
    1
  19848. Hi! Which year?
    1
  19849. Yes you can
    1
  19850. Hi! Likely not seized at all. It is similar if nit slightly easier
    1
  19851. Likely not. On the 2018 corolla there’s no valve adjustments as it has hydraulic lifters
    1
  19852. I would recommend it if you’re ok with the rougher more sporty ride. If you live in an area with lots of pot holes it might damage the wheels easier.
    1
  19853. Hi! They’re ok definitely louder than the LE with the bigger profile tires but overall they’re ok
    1
  19854. Hi! Which model?
    1
  19855. Hi David! Thank you! Talk to you soon!
    1
  19856. Hi! They're good cars.
    1
  19857. Hi! I haven’t seen reconditioned cars is this in the US?
    1
  19858. Good catch! Thank you.
    1
  19859. Hi! Parts.Lexus.com
    1
  19860. Hi! For most repairs there are no kits. Repair kits are sometimes associated with a TSB but not always.
    1
  19861. Hard to tell. They don’t seem to have the same following as the Supra even though they’re basically the same car and they’re awesome.
    1
  19862. Hi! Likely not. Aftermarket or used parts unless someone out there bought them new and is holding onto them which some dealerships did for example with old Supra parts
    1
  19863. Hi! I did a video on things you should never do with your new Toyota. In addition make sure your safety connect is working and if you are going to use it after the trail make sure it’s setup
    1
  19864. Hi! What are you looking for?
    1
  19865. Hi! For torque specs and specifications visit techinfo.Toyota.com it will also have Lexus information. On the filter housing don’t over tighten the plastic housing and it will last the life of the engine. I wouldn’t change it to metal
    1
  19866. Hi! What is the code that you have?
    1
  19867. Hi! Calling in is your best bet as that information is not as available. Also try partsvoice.com
    1
  19868. Hi! Parts.Toyota.com
    1
  19869. Interesting that the Lexus branded one is cheaper. I’ll look into it
    1
  19870. Hi! Aisin is a good brand and is an oem brand for Toyota
    1
  19871. Hi! I would follow the year change for your model. Sometimes they’ll make a small change in dimensions you always want to get the correct part number for your exact model
    1
  19872. Hi! Not sure of these brands they could be
    1
  19873. Hi! Should be the same injector
    1
  19874. There are many sites on the US that can give you TSBs as they are public information or you can go to techinfo.Toyota.com
    1
  19875. Hi! You can get the full diagram from techinfo.Toyota.com
    1
  19876. It’s not a good spot. They had to put it on the oil separator
    1
  19877. Toyota doesn’t sell complete engines. A short block is about it
    1
  19878. Hi! It needs to be the black one. The orange one is for transmission and differential
    1
  19879. Hi! Unfortunately that has come up and I’m waiting for the weather to drop to see if there’s a way to disable it
    1
  19880. Hi! I am not familiar with the Canadian parts website.

  20028. Thank you for sharing! I would let her go honestly. These corollas had major issues with oil burning that gets so bad it clogs everything and it didn’t do very well with rust. They usually reach a point where things literally start falling off. I would either go for a used 2016-2019 corolla or just go with a new one knowing that you keep cars for a long time.

  20083. Hi! From what I can see if the car is in front of you it’s clear but if it’s further up it’s not as clear. And it does have parking mode but needs to be hardwired for it to work
    1
  20084. Hi! Are you in the US? Let me know and I’ll contact the company
    1
  20085. Hi! Are you looking at new or used?
    1
  20086. They really come in handy in these situations!
    1
  20087. Hi! It will drain and battery and if left parked for long it could affect the battery life. I would look into ones that have a separate battery for parking mode if you want to have parking mode without affecting the main battery
    1
  20088. Hi! For the 12v battery disconnect it or expect to need to charge it afterwards
    1
  20089. Fixed! Thank you
    1
  20090. To hardwire it you need an accessory kit and run it directly to the battery
    1
  20091. That’s a very good question. Honestly this camera might not be a good option in this case. Perhaps look for a camera that has an option to clip it to the headliner. Or if you want this one try to fabricate something that clips into the headliner then glue it to that so it’s not stuck to the glass
    1
  20092. I haven’t recorded that long as I have a 2 hour commute and have footage of that and more on the card and it’s not where near full. I would contact the company to get exact estimates
    1
  20093. Nice! We’re not special enough in the US we don’t get the fancy toys lol I would be interested to know who supplies that camera for them. I’ll do some digging
    1
  20094. I ordered one through Toyota and haven’t received it yet. I want to compare them
    1
  20095. Hi! It’s possible it’s the XReAS suspension. Any leaks from the shocks?
    1
  20096. I recently drove one. If you live in a flat area and not going to be hauling stuff or towing most of the time I think it might be ok. I would however highly encourage you to drive one before you buy it.
    1
  20097. I don’t think it’s a mistake. No denying that the v6 is more powerful than the 4 cylinder however i would drive both. If you like the power level of the 4 cylinder than it’s a good buy. But if you feel it underpowered then I’d opt for the V6
    1
  20098. They are both reliable but the 2.7 is easier to work on and edges slightly on reliability over the v6 because of ease of maintenance and repair.
    1
  20099. Honestly I wouldn’t. It’s cool to have and all but if this is a daily driver it might actually affect your reliability a bit and increase your maintenance costs for not significant gain
    1
  20100. Hi! It is a good quality one and very similar if not the same as the trd ones
    1
  20101. They are very reliable with good maintenance
    1
  20102. Hi! Personally I would go with the current generation.
    1
  20103. Hi! 4th gens are good with much more improvements from 2006 and up. Don't buy rusty ones because they can turn into a nightmare quick. The V8 is awesome! the V6 is good if taken care of.
    1
  20104. All 4WD 4runners have ADD
    1
  20105. Not all of it. But the rust absolutely does
    1
  20106. Hi! Typically the preload is not something you want to change unless you have experience doing so as it could change the way the steering feels to a point of no return. Another thing I would check is the steering rack bushings. Not common to go but possible with age
    1
  20107. Hi! Vibrations are typically tire/wheel related. A road force balance would reveal more issues with balancing. Also bent wheels cause vibrations. And for the pull it could be that a caliper is seizing but also could be and more likely that a caliper pin is sticking.
    1
  20108. Hi! I think this generation 4Runner is very similar to the previous one. The engine is solid and the transmission as well.
    1
  20109. Yes it’s the same system as the 4Runner
    1
  20110. I’m working on integrating Lexus more.
    1
  20111. I don’t really have experience with upgrades on the 5th gen.
    1
  20112. Hi! Do you upgrading to bigger brakes or just replacing the original ones?
    1
  20113. I hear you. Every time I see a land cruiser I can’t help but remember how much I’d love to have another one.
    1
  20114. That’s normal for this engine and not an issue
    1
  20115. Hi! Fluid film works well.
    1
  20116. That’s usually the run channel where the windows slides on going up and down. Spray a small amount of silicone spray and see if it helps. If not clean the windows with an alcohol wipe on the outside and see if that does the trick.
    1
  20117. Hi! Reliability and simplicity definitely the 4Runner. Features and fuel mileage the Tacoma
    1
  20118. Thank you for watching my video! I’m hoping sometime in the near future I’ll do a similar video for the tundra.
    1
  20119. They still have rust issues if not cleaned and coated
    1
  20120. That’s a what the free maintenance program covers. If you’re driving conditions fall under special operating conditions I would pay and replace the engine oil and filter every 5k or 6 months
    1
  20121. Hi! Many companies do undercoating honestly. I would shop around for warranties and prices as most of them in the end will use similar products. Key thing here is to consider redoing the undercoating every few years to keep it fresh unless the company that installs it provides a warranty then leave it alone at that point
    1
  20122. Cars that require premium fuel will say so on the gas door. If it doesn’t say then it’s 87
    1
  20123. @Nate08’s Garage thank you for sharing that! I’ll look into that! Very useful information for the community thank you!
    1
  20124. That noise is completely normal for your engine. I hear you that it’s concerning but the GR family engine does that when they’re cold. Our best identification of that noise is piston slap until they warm up but it happens on brand new cars off of the factory door and the exact same in trucks with over 300k miles. I wouldn’t be concerned about that noise.
    1
  20125. That would be a question for the company that gave you the rust protection. Depends on what they need you to do to keep the protection valid.
    1
  20126. Hi! The 4Runner v6 from 2003-2009 is the same as the v6 in the 2005-2015 Tacoma. The v6 in 2010-current 4runners is still a 4.0 but it’s slightly updated. The 2016+ Tacoma has a 3.5l v6. 2010-2014 fj cruisers has the same engine as the 2010 and up 4runners
    1
  20127. I would call Toyota directly at the experience center and open a case they’ll need to look at it again
    1
  20128. Toyota was involved in this? And have you driven another trd pro?
    1
  20129. Does rotating tires change anything at all?
    1
  20130. That is an issue that’s coming up and potentially has to do with the wheels/tire combo. Did they swap non TRd wheels?
    1
  20131. Hi! New cars don’t need inspections just visual on the body for scratches and dings but mechanically no
    1
  20132. That could be normal. Always measure your fuel trims at full warmed up and at idle
    1
  20133. Is that -14 at warmed up engine and idle or driving?
    1
  20134. Hi! That noise is very normal for that engine in your 4Runner. It will make it now and when it has 300k miles.
    1
  20135. It could be relayed to brake pads shift. I would have to hear the sound to know what’s going on.
    1
  20136. Hi! They are good. It’s not just a 4 cylinder it’s a hybrid so it has the help of the electric motors
    1
  20137. Thank you for the suggestion! I’ll add it to the list and look into it!
    1
  20138. Hi! I would leave it alone at this point
    1
  20139. Thank you for watching my videos! Best wishes with your 4Runner purchase!
    1
  20140. You can clean the frame and coat it
    1
  20141. Hi! You are correct however you can engage 4WD on dry pavement as long as you don’t make sharp turns
    1
  20142. Lol I hear you!
    1
  20143. Hi! No modifications are needed just be aware of two things. Your gas mileage will drop slightly and the ride will be harder and rougher.
    1
  20144. They’re good just check the struts and shocks for leaks and make sure it’s not a rusty one
    1
  20145. George V. That was very true on the previous generation the 2003-2009 but on this generation the timing covers are not common at all. At least I haven’t seen one.
    1
  20146. I have not heard of updated brake lines improving brake feel. 4runners do have an odd brake pedal feel when compared to other cars. I’m just letting you know this so you won’t go spending money only to find that this is a normal pedal feel.
    1
  20147. Thank you for watching my video! Very impressed with the brakes lasting this long! This is a first! That’s good.
    1
  20148. I only have experience with the US model land cruiser. I’ve seen and driven strip models overseas but never really worked on them
    1
  20149. 1GR-FE
    1
  20150. Awesome! Thank you for sharing!
    1
  20151. Do you recall the brand of the kit?
    1
  20152. Thank you for sharing! I’ll give that a shot as I have a customer who’s at the point of selling the car because of this.
    1
  20153. Hi! 300k miles is a lot of miles of course. Timing chains typically hold very well but at 300k it could need attention soon
    1
  20154. Hi! Which issues specifically? Some if not all the issues have been taken care of in the latest ones.
    1
  20155. Thank you for your comment. These issues are actually minor and most are resolved while the car is under warranty and are non returning issues.
    1
  20156. Hi! In the Chicago area
    1
  20157. At this point you have addressed the only issue with the transmission. I don’t think I’ve done anything else to a 5th gen transmission other than fluid changes and neutral safety switch
    1
  20158. Hi! A video is planned for that generation tacoma
    1
  20159. That’s correct. Some of the issues are there but most of them are resolved in the later years.
    1
  20160. Hi! I have a video for the tundra but not the sequoia yet
    1
  20161. Hi! The GX is a fine car that is well made but it’s also more luxurious and overall ownership costs will be higher than the 4Runner but with good maintenance it’s still an overall reliable truck. So it will depend on your preference.
    1
  20162. Hi! I would do it on dry pavement but avoid turning and driving far with it. As long as you make the shift back and forth a couple of times you should be good. Also you can go into 4 High up to 55 mph
    1
  20163. Thank you for sharing Zackary!
    1
  20164. Hi! Have the dealership run the vin number and print you the option list, it will list everything about the car
    1
  20165. Hi! Honestly that’s about average for their gas mileage for city driving
    1
  20166. Honestly there are many products out there. I would research in 4Runner forums and see how other owners report on coatings
    1
  20167. Hi! Clean the rust and coat the frame to protect it
    1
  20168. If it has good service history and no rust that’s a good purchase
    1
  20169. Hi! I would need to hear the engine. Can you record a video of the noise and share it?
    1
  20170. Hi! Usually a break in the wire will do that. First place I’d look is the wire going into the back door
    1
  20171. The previous generation 4Runner. See this series for details https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeFzfl0Q8rQWEfqiaOGG3wzXKNughcpzi
    1
  20172. They are really good trucks. Only rust does them harm. They have a few issues here and there but nothing major. A video will come in the future dedicated to FJ cruisers
    1
  20173. Hi! The only place they’re available is the repair manual. Can be found at techinfo.Toyota.com if you are in the us
    1
  20174. Hi Roland! So the soft ride is a trade mark of the 5th gen 4runner honestly. Your best bet is aftermarket however do some more research. I personally don’t have experience with aftermarket shocks and how they improve the nose dive of the 4runner
    1
  20175. Hi Ronald. Honestly if you’ve never used it or needed to then likely it’s not worth it. It is really helpful in off-roading when you get stuck but otherwise you won’t find yourself using it. I honestly wouldn’t waste time or money.
    1
  20176. Hi! No way to do that on the clock unfortunately. Personally I wouldn’t use the conversion kit but no harm in doing it
    1
  20177. Hi! I would try to lock it but it could get stuck and won’t complete the shift at that point you’ll have a flashing light and the car will drive normal. Try to activate it at least once a year to make sure it doesn’t get stuxk
    1
  20178. Ronald I’m glad everything is resolved! You can ask any questions you have and I’ll always do my best to help! Best wishes with your car hunt and with your current fleet!
    1
  20179. I’m glad to hear it’s driving good. With the change over to non xreas it wouldn’t hurt to get an alignment done to make sure everything is good.
    1
  20180. No worries! I’ve got your back.
    1
  20181. The rear shocks don’t have a mount per se but do have a few rubber bushings that typically come with the new shock. I would just make sure that these get replaced as well as they’re very inexpensive. The XREAS system when it leaks it does make all kinds of weird suspension noises when it’s low on fluid. It would be really nice if there’s a way to add fluid to it but there’s none. After you’re done with the conversion you won’t have to deal with the XREAS deal.
    1
  20182. Hi Ronald. You never bother me. SR5 shocks should work. I would get strut mounts as well for the front. Some people have opted to replace the front springs as well. I would change just the shocks and see how the truck sits and go from there.
    1
  20183. Aftermarket shocks in this case could be better but we’re talking about high quality ones that’ll likely be more expensive than original. This would be a good time to do a lift if you’re looking into one and your budget allows for it.
    1
  20184. That sounds right. You can upgrade the shocks to good aftermarket but for what you’re looking for oem would be good
    1
  20185. You got it man. Best of luck and let me know if you need anything.
    1
  20186. You’re very welcome! Don’t be in a rush to fix it. Other than the annoying sounds it’s safe. Email me or comment on any of the videos whenever you need help.
    1
  20187. If the shocks have a line and they are red in color they are x reas and that could be your issue. Look at each shock in the back and strut in the front. Do you see any leaks even small? No need to mortgage the house you can easily cancel this system and switch to regular shocks and struts. A bit expensive but you’ll replace them once and be done with this system.
    1
  20188. It’s honestly hard to tell without hearing it. Inspect the springs and shocks. Does it has x reas?
    1
  20189. Thank you for watching my video! It could very well be the neutral safety switch issue. You got a good one! Take care of it and it’ll take care of you
    1
  20190. I’ve seen some issues with these tires. Let me ask you this. Did you have the shimmy before the tires?
    1
  20191. Hi! The price is high with the current market but the water pump and thermostat replacement is not a must if there’s no issues with them
    1
  20192. That’s the exact thought we get at work when giving a quote for one of those. And honestly I can’t even tell the difference on how they drive x-reas vs normal. Any owners can shed a light on real off-roading difference?
    1
  20193. I’m glad you’re getting rid of it! The ones that came swapped for regular drive exactly the same at least to me don’t know about offroading
    1
  20194. Best work table I’ve ever had!
    1
  20195. I should’ve had that video already but the harsh weather in Chicago is not helping. Should be out soon.
    1
  20196. Hi! Many good options out there honestly. I would do good research on this one. More important than the product is the reapplication every few years to have continued protection
    1
  20197. Hi! You can get rid of Xreas without issues by switching to different shocks. A lift kit would be your only option to get more ground clearance or even a different set of wheels and bigger tires. Changing to non xreas is straight forward as there are no electronics involved or anything.
    1
  20198. Thank you! KDSS works pretty good. The nose dive is improved but not gone. Upgraded shocks and springs does a better job in my opinion. Whatever you do stay away from X-REAS on the limited model. If you're buying one make sure you get a good extended warranty as the first failure will pay for your extended warranty if not more.
    1
  20199. Because they simply don’t want to change anything with the 4Runner! They don’t fail very early but a failure after 100k miles wouldn’t surprise me
    1
  20200. Hi! Most of the issues are resolved by 20-21
    1
  20201. So the cold start vvti rattle is different because that one only last for 2-3 seconds and is not common in 4runners at all.
    1
  20202. I would agree with your friend. They were a bit noisy in general and especially when cold. To have the piece of mind and not just take out word for it I would compare it to another model you can even ask your local dealership to show you a new one as they have the exact same engine.
    1
  20203. Hi! Every 60k miles it 6 years
    1
  20204. It is black or blue screen when you put the car in reverse?
    1
  20205. Hi Sergio. This noise is normal for these engines. Nothing to worry about. Many examples have shown up with over 200k miles and still make the exact same noise
    1
  20206. Thank you. Any year between 2010-2021 is good really on 4runners just make sure it’s not rusty
    1
  20207. Similar but not exactly the same
    1
  20208. Honestly with the blower I would buy an original one. Either from a dealership or online.
    1
  20209. Hi! That’s the infamous thud feel that everyone wonders about. First it’s normal for Toyota trucks to do that. Hard to explain but the driveshaft gets wound up by the force of the brakes and when you let go the thud is the driveshaft going back to it’s normal spot.
    1
  20210. You can do that adjustment using a Toyota scan tool called techstream
    1
  20211. Brakes will vary from model to model. I would be looking at a similar model CHR and see if they feel the same or better
    1
  20212.  @charlie4649  that infamous clunk or jerk when you’re at low speeds and brake then accelerate is normal for Toyota trucks. People have gone above and beyond trying to find a solution and 300k miles later it’s exactly the same.
    1
  20213. Thank you for watching my video. I don’t see an issue with the switch to 5w30 in that engine. Perhaps a slight drop in gas mileage but nothing more.
    1
  20214. It wouldn’t be a bad idea. I would clean them regularly perhaps every year or 2 especially if you drive in the rust belt.
    1
  20215. I would test it and usually if it gets stuck and doesn’t complete shifts that’s a good sign that it hasn’t been exercised
    1
  20216. Lol maybe you can help with the W163 project I got 😂
    1
  20217. Yep that’s how they usually go. Scary that it’s that loose with zero sound.
    1
  20218. Honestly there’s no interval for power steering. You can’t hurt anything replacing it at any mileage. Usually it starts turning dark around 100k or around 7 years from experience but that also varies. I guess take a sample of it’s dark replace it if it looks clean then don’t worry about it.
    1
  20219. Hi! Sony A7S3
    1
  20220. They say it’s safe for the catalytic converter but some other cleaners can be too harsh for the cat
    1
  20221. Hi! No evidence of that have surfaced so I don’t. See it
    1
  20222. Hi! As time allows I could contribute. Email me
    1
  20223. Hi! Diesels are different
    1
  20224. Hi! That is normal and they all do that. Some of them will have up and down movement in the axle splining into the trans which is also normal
    1
  20225. Hi! It could be normal. Is it switching injection modes?
    1
  20226. Hi! The shimmy is a common one for these. Did you try to mention it to the dealership and have them start by a road force balance?
    1
  20227. I haven’t found a good one yet
    1
  20228. Hi! It can be made to work yes
    1
  20229. It works awesome man. This year the coldest we’ve gotten was single digit and it worked great. I remember one night it was approaching zero and it was almost 70 degrees in my garage!
    1
  20230. Hi! That is true. Very hard to find
    1
  20231. Hi! Not similar to this one but in the future I might go back and make one
    1
  20232. The 2017 and 2021 should have the same cap
    1
  20233. Hi mike! At the dealership it’s not available however aftermarket I’m sure it is
    1
  20234. No! The previous generation did have a fuel door lock release
    1
  20235. That’s normal on the 4runner because of the hydraulic unit they have. Nothing is locked up on the brakes especially the front caliper?
    1
  20236. Hi! Check the front wheel bearings for play. Then make sure nothing is seized in the rear brakes
    1
  20237. Hi Jeff. In person diagnosis it needed in this case. Could be many things even things not related to the transmission
    1
  20238. Honestly I’m not sure about that one as we don’t have them in this side of the planet
    1
  20239. Hi! That’s normal and that’s the and unit doing it’s self calibration
    1
  20240. Hi Mathew! It would likely need a bit of wiring change and a new connector but it shouldn’t be very difficult to make it work
    1
  20241. Hi! It all has to do with the frame limits and body limits.
    1
  20242. Supply and demand. If you sell yours though you might have a hard time finding one new
    1
  20243. Hi! Every oil change
    1
  20244. Hi! That’s not the case. They’re very tight and difficult but they can be done in the car.
    1
  20245. Yikes! That’s one he will never do again!
    1
  20246. Very good suggestion! Hope we don’t have a lot of those but I’ll keep it in mind!
    1
  20247. The fan should come on when you turn on the car and ac and with the car off you should be able to turn the fan by hand
    1
  20248. It could be if it’s not flowing properly the car overheats slightly and the computer shuts off the ac
    1
  20249. Exactly 😂
    1
  20250. Very possible! I just wish he trusted a bit earlier and saved himself a lot of money!
    1
  20251. Congratulations on your retirement! It’s still business as usual!
    1
  20252. Hi! It’s not possible to change the mileage on the maintenance reminder
    1
  20253. Hi! Unless there’s an issue I wouldn’t scope the cylinders
    1
  20254. Hahaha that’s a good one!
    1
  20255. It’s planned and hopefully will come in the near futute
    1
  20256. Hi! I wouldn’t change the transmission filter not because you are going to cause issues but because they rarely get dirty and cause issues
    1
  20257. 😂 that’s a good one!
    1
  20258. Now that’s a good idea!
    1
  20259. I can do that!
    1
  20260. Every conversation that starts with “I’m an engineer” at the dealership I just walk away from!
    1
  20261. Yes it is
    1
  20262. Hi Nathan! Thank you for watching my channel! That is typical mpgs. Is the weather cold in your area?
    1
  20263. Hi! Thank you for watching my video! One thing I will add. If there was a similar video for a Chrysler or Ford we’d be here for a few hours :-) Toyotas are very reliable but they are still machines and they have their issues.
    1
  20264. Hi! They are both reliable however the 4Runner has a slight edge on reliability because it’s older
    1
  20265. Hi! I would take it in and get it taken care of.
    1
  20266. Hi! Do you have any issues with it? If everything is good then you’re good
    1
  20267. If you took care of the frame from day one they were actually very reliable. They of course had their issues but overall they hold up well.
    1
  20268. Hi! There’s no 4.0 in this generation Tacoma
    1
  20269. The leak from the timing cover got much better 2018 and up
    1
  20270. Hi! They’ll need to road force balance the tires to start
    1
  20271. Hi! Should be around 3-4
    1
  20272. Since the first generation.
    1
  20273. Hi! Likely faulty plastic or faulty part no concrete answer other than the part was updated. Honestly the ones that leaked, leaked at low miles and at this point with your truck if you don’t have the leak you’re likely good.
    1
  20274. Hi! Brush them and cover them well on both sides and it should be ok. As long as you block oxygen rust won’t progress
    1
  20275. Hi! Toyota dealerships can order them. The numbers are listed in a TSB which the dealership can look up
    1
  20276. Have the dealership take a look. Could be the normal clunk with the Tacoma’s but better make sure
    1
  20277. Tough one. If you don’t mind the lower power of the 4 I would keep it
    1
  20278. Hi! I personally would change it every 5k. Unless all of your driving is highway and absolutely no short trips
    1
  20279. Hi! They’re good trucks just keep up the maintenance. Most of the issues have been taken care of by 2022
    1
  20280. How much does it burn? And try replacing the pcv valve
    1
  20281. Hi! No oil burning issues reported yet. How many miles and what’s the oil change history?
    1
  20282. Hi! Honestly I would just sell and buy a 4WD model.
    1
  20283. Hi! Personally I would stick with the original fluid and replace it on time.
    1
  20284. Hi! I’d have to hear the sound to know
    1
  20285. Hi Brian. The trd package initially didn’t come with the grille and then it changed then it changed again
    1
  20286. Hi! Too early to tell but the LS500 have had this engine for a few years without major issues so it’s looking ok on reliability. It has to be done. Can’t get V8s to stop drinking gas
    1
  20287. Hi! That’s normal. Annoying but normal on Toyota trucks
    1
  20288. Nothing has changed you actually were lucky with your Tacoma. It’s in the owners manual that you should engage it regularly during the off season
    1
  20289. No it’s more towards the floor passenger side
    1
  20290. Hi! Check the hose connection to the hvac box it might have come off
    1
  20291. Chicago area
    1
  20292. Hi! Only issues is cracks because they are overtightened. If they are not then they’re good for the life of the car
    1
  20293. Hi! I don’t see a benefit to it in a Tacoma that’s driven regularly and not driven short distances often
    1
  20294. Hi! So that’s the high pressure fuel pump that I showed in the video for the direct injectors. There’s another fuel pump in the fuel tank which is the one getting replaced by the recall
    1
  20295. Hi! I honestly would clean it and see how it progresses and I wouldn’t use RTV on the gasket
    1
  20296. Hi! Not too late. Just get the rust cleaned and power washed then coat it. And the transmission pan should be dry I would take it back to get checked
    1
  20297. Hi! Many products out there to undercoat. More important than the product is the installer and their reputation
    1
  20298. Hi! Take it to the dealership in a hot day where the issue typically happens.
    1
  20299. Hi! Personally I get nervous with tunes and they could cause issues with warranty. Just make sure the company that you’re buying it from is a reputable one
    1
  20300. If you have issues with the AC in hot summer then I would
    1
  20301. Well he’s gonna need to look into it more that’s not a very accurate way
    1
  20302. Did he measure run out and drive the truck on a lift to see what happens in 5th gear around that speed?
    1
  20303. Hi Fred. Check your driveline alignment. Might be difficult to do diy. Also has the u joints been replaced? Are they indexed?
    1
  20304. It’s not a kit in itself with one part number. It’s a TSB which the dealership should know about. Have them look up TSB 0063-18 or you can google it and get a copy which will have the full parts list.
    1
  20305. You can contact Toyota and see. They will send someone to drive the car and look at it. If they see something they’ll take care of it
    1
  20306. They are not smooth honestly. If you drive another one at the dealership and it does the same then it’s normal
    1
  20307. Hi! Hard to tell at this point as they usually run trucks longer. The 2022 Tacoma is good as most of the common issues are taken care of
    1
  20308. Hi! On the clicking noise bring it to the dealership attention . There are a few things on the passenger side that could cause clicking. Hard to tell without testing it in person. Record a video so the dealership can hear what you hear. The wireless charger, do you have a phone cover?
    1
  20309. Hi! I haven’t seen issues with the filter as long as it’s not overtightened
    1
  20310. Hi Samuel. Honestly I would tread very carefully with salvage cars unless you have experience. Salvage cars are cars that were once totaled by insurance. So the damage of the car exceeded a set value of the price of the car and that varies by area. Search the VIN number on google. Sometimes you’ll find the old insurance auction listing and find what the REAL damage was. Plenty of cars for sale I would just buy one with a clean title
    1
  20311. Thank you for watching! Every car have a lot of issues when you put them in one video. But if there was a similar video for every car you’ll notice toyotas have the shortest.
    1
  20312. Hi! A single drain and fill is enough to keep things fresh and protected
    1
  20313. Hi! Every 30k miles on both is ideal
    1
  20314. I think that’s worth it. Happy thanksgiving
    1
  20315. Hi! I can do that once the program expires which is soon. I can’t talk about active campaigns. But I’ll tell you this. It’s a meticulous process, requires additional training and doesn’t affect anything else on the truck because the spraying is inside the frame.
    1
  20316. Hi! No, I’ll do a video soon which many has requested about my background
    1
  20317. Hi! The rear diff every 30-50k miles
    1
  20318. Hi! They’re good just make sure it’s not rusty
    1
  20319. Most of them are resolved in 2021 models
    1
  20320. Not really it’s designed into it
    1
  20321. Yes.
    1
  20322. Hi! Doesn’t make sense as they already have a diesel in the hilux
    1
  20323. Hi! I think the 2021 Tacoma’s are good even a 2018+ and with the manual transmission they’re even better. You have a Tacoma so you know how unsmooth and clunky they normally are so the new one would be very similar just with more power from the V6
    1
  20324. Almost all 2018s are sprayed
    1
  20325. Hi! Most of their issues are small except rust!be careful with rusty ones.
    1
  20326. Hi! The 2015-2016 highlander are highly recommended. Here’s a video specific to the highlander https://youtu.be/Ey_hD7PUF88
    1
  20327. Hi! Cleaning the maf doesn’t hurt but be careful and make sure you are using the right cleaner
    1
  20328. Hi! The Toyota dealership scan tool allows for software change of the Speedo up to 4mph +-
    1
  20329. The transmission is not sealed? It just doesn’t have a dipstick
    1
  20330. Hi! This will need in person diagnosis. Do you have a TRD shield?
    1
  20331. Hi! Yes here’s a video with more details https://youtu.be/KIAq0M3BUWQ
    1
  20332. The automatic is ok but the manual in the Tacoma is a very good option in my opinion
    1
  20333. Hi! Howling could be caused by a lot of things. Does it change 4WD vs 2WD
    1
  20334. Hi! Was the coolant overfilled?
    1
  20335. Personally Tacoma
    1
  20336. The 2022 should have most of the issues resolved
    1
  20337. Hi! That’s moisture rising to the top. Usually on cars that are not driven often. Not an issue but clean it when you see it form
    1
  20338. Hi! How hot is the ambient temps where you’re at?
    1
  20339. Hi! Congratulations in advance! Just the outside of the frame. The inside is already coated in the 21s
    1
  20340. Hi! I haven’t seen any in the 2021s
    1
  20341. Hi! I have one for the transmission fluid working on the others
    1
  20342. Hi! What’s the mileage and anything recently done to the truck?
    1
  20343. Hi! They do have an odd shift sometimes. I would get the fluid level checked and reset the transmission memory and see if it gets better
    1
  20344. Unfortunately no
    1
  20345. Yes that’s a common thing they do. The computer can’t tell if the car is turning or stopped
    1
  20346. Hi! They drive differently. The 4runner can be smoother while the Tacoma feels like a proper truck
    1
  20347. Hi! The radio updates are done manually at the dealership. And for the AC fan kit, In order for the dealership to install them under warranty the AC needs to act up first in very hot weather and they can verify it then they can install the fan kit.
    1
  20348. Hi! Honestly it’s hard to tell without feeling the condition.
    1
  20349. Hi! Congratulations in advance on your truck! So on the rust coating. I don’t have a specific brand to recommend but I would recommend you look into your company putting the coating and their warranty.
    1
  20350. Thecarcarenut@gmail
    1
  20351. Hi! They do ok. Any serious off roading though and they might underpowered
    1
  20352. Hi! No reason to inflate the tires that high for the alignment perhaps a faulty gauge on their side. I would have them double check the alignment as for a proper alignment the tires should be inflated to spec before the alignment
    1
  20353. Hi! The 4Runner is in a world of its own! And more reliable than the tacoma
    1
  20354. Hi! I haven’t seen any past 2018 yet
    1
  20355. Hi! Not yet but plan on doing one once I get one
    1
  20356. Hi! No issues with this model with the steering.
    1
  20357. Hi! The 2.7 engine in the Tacoma has regular port injection only.
    1
  20358. Hi! Many products out there. If you have access to krown they’re really good. Otherwise fluid film works very good as well
    1
  20359. Thank you for watching! I don’t have an official reason to speak off on why they removed it
    1
  20360. Hi! It’s a TSB that the dealership can look up and apply
    1
  20361. Hi! That depends on why you want to get the Tacoma. Do you need a truck? The highlander is a nicer overall family car. The Tacoma is much more utilitarian and usable as a truck
    1
  20362. Hi! I hope you got a good one there and never have any issues!
    1
  20363. Hi! The 2021 so far is good without anything new to add.
    1
  20364. Hi! There was a campaign for the first year on that. It should be cut and dry gasket replacement. If it’s very minor they might clean it and recheck it on the next service
    1
  20365. Sorry I mixed up your question with another! Disregard the number. So it’s a TSB no. T-SB-0093-20 google it and it will have the parts list as it’s a long one.
    1
  20366. Hi! Likely it’s normal. This engine is a bit loud in its operation
    1
  20367. Hi! I haven’t seen any but that would be a welcome upgrade
    1
  20368. Hi! That can be correct if salt is added to the mix.
    1
  20369. Already done! Here’s the link https://youtu.be/bi_AeB335Yo
    1
  20370. Thank you for the video suggestion I will look into it
    1
  20371. Hi! Look up TS-B-0063-18 the kit has multiple parts. Have the dealership look it up and they’ll find it
    1
  20372. Not a common issue due to a weak point. It was a manufacturing issue that affected a small number of very early 2016
    1
  20373. Most issues are resolved
    1
  20374. Hi! It’s a TSB and parts are separate not a kit
    1
  20375. Hi! Areas where salt is used on the streets in the winter to melt snow and ice.
    1
  20376. It’s possible. I would take it back to them
    1
  20377. I wouldn’t sell it at all! If in 10 years the connection breaks and you need to repair it again it’s not a big deal honestly.
    1
  20378. Hi! I’ve seen many of these repairs. The soldering holds but more important is the insulation. If it’s insulated well you won’t have any issues.
    1
  20379. Hi! On slippery roads or wet driving you can use 4H up to 60 mph
    1
  20380. I just pinned a comment with the number on it
    1
  20381. Hi! These are good. They have their issues especially with rust but overall they’re good
    1
  20382. Hi! Toyota scan tool is needed to find out the latest software updates for engine and transmission
    1
  20383. Hi! I haven’t seen issues isolated to a specific plant
    1
  20384. 2017-2018 and up is much better.
    1
  20385. Hi! Good question. My system is down at the moment I’ll look at the exact trans name when it’s back monday
    1
  20386. They’ll operate when needed. Check if they do operate in higher temps
    1
  20387. The wipers that have a button don’t have replaceable inserts. Similar to the 3rd generation avalon and 2nd generation tundra
    1
  20388. Some models has wipers that are not serviceable. On your Prius are these the original wipers?
    1
  20389. Best place to find wiper inserts for your car is the dealership. Your model is not sold in my area so I can’t look up part numbers
    1
  20390. 2009 sienna came with a different style wiper blades. The originals you could get inserts for but they were not the greatest
    1
  20391. What model?
    1
  20392. Link to my series on how to maintain your Toyota is there
    1
  20393. That’s not good. They’re around 10 dollars or even less each in the us.
    1
  20394. I would keep the wipers that are original from your car and just buy the inserts
    1
  20395. Hi! Not aware of an option to activate them. I’d need to look into it with a car with this case
    1
  20396. I would look at the antenna.
    1
  20397. You can remove the blade from the car then twist and slide it out.
    1
  20398. It was possible that they were installed incorrectly initially.
    1
  20399. If you like the car you have I’d buy it out. The CVt is good on the new corollas but it’s also a smaller car.
    1
  20400. Hi! Here’s a video that helps https://youtu.be/eRxSu4-4ojo
    1
  20401. I’m not sure about aftermarket options. I would personally not do all that. I would just stick with the original wipers and inserts
    1
  20402. Oem wipers are rubber.
    1
  20403. Hi! Parts.Toyota.com should have them
    1
  20404. Hi! Which car do you have?
    1
  20405. Hi! Yes if they are equipped they will. However after the latest update that’s manually installed by the dealership things have improved.
    1
  20406. Hi! Switch the brand of gas you’re using and see if it gets better
    1
  20407. Most of the issues are resolved. The mirror shake and the connected services are still there.
    1
  20408. Usually it automatically works but there has been a few cases where it doesn’t. If that’s the case have the dealership check it
    1
  20409. That’s the design of the dipstickless system. The 2nd plug you pull out is the standpipe that you use to measure the fluid level
    1
  20410. Not an issue for hybrids as they are designed to work this way
    1
  20411. Hi Robert! Thank you for watching. Yes the remote start from the fob should work after the trial ends
    1
  20412. Hi! Try to change the air to recirculate and see if that stops it from doing that
    1
  20413. Check the drains. A few models are having issues with water in the doors
    1
  20414. If memory serves right the warranty on brakes is shorter and it’s around 1 year. Ask your dealership
    1
  20415. The squeal is an issue. Was there high humidity when the car does this noise? And does it happen after it sits for a long time like overnight?
    1
  20416. Hi! Hard to tell without diagnosing it in person. I would take a video and show it to the dealership
    1
  20417. The 1.8 engine doesn’t have direct injection.
    1
  20418. Not really.
    1
  20419. Yes you cab
    1
  20420. Is that a US model?
    1
  20421. Hi! For 2021 only the LE trim has lithium ion. Other trims will be Nickel metal
    1
  20422. Hi! The CVT in the hybrid and prime as similar however they are not even on the same planet as a conventional CVt from Nissan. They don’t work the same and don’t have any issues. 200k miles is very easy for the hybrid CVT and Prime CVT honestly.
    1
  20423. Could you share the video so I can listen to it?
    1
  20424. Not in the US but in europe
    1
  20425. If it’s equipped with remote start yes that works the same way
    1
  20426. Hi! Yes but you’ll have to do it every time it can’t be permanently disabled
    1
  20427. Hard these days to negotiate
    1
  20428. You’ll need to find the source of the clunk. Tape the mirror to the housing and see if it goes away
    1
  20429. Hi! I would replace it every 8k kms if you plan to keep it long
    1
  20430. Hi! https://youtu.be/2TxBiMQCLlg
    1
  20431. Hi! Both battery options are good. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. No real difference between Japan made and North american made honestly
    1
  20432. Hi! That is correct. You can still use the remote starter from the remote even if you don’t have the subscription. And the fuel pump issue is a recall. If your car is involved with the recall, the fuel pump will be replaced free of charge and you won’t have any other issues afterwards.
    1
  20433. Hi! 2021s don’t have the issue
    1
  20434. Hi! Yes I can.
    1
  20435. Sorry Peter. Let me clarify one thing. Deactivating the system is not the same as simply not paying for the service after the trail. You can deactivate it where the system simply shuts off. Or you CAN not pay for the subscription and it will not work but still be active so when you need it or want it you can pay to have the service work.
    1
  20436. Hi Peter. If you opt out of the service but later have updates that affect other aspects of the car like the battery draining issue you’d need to activate it to get the update done
    1
  20437. Hi! If it is equipped with the remote start you can use the remote start from the remote without dealing with the app.
    1
  20438. Hi! I haven’t heard anything other than under investigation. Haven’t seen one corroded enough to cause issues yet
    1
  20439. The 2021 has the update pre installed
    1
  20440.  @naveenthemachine  The Camry could also have a DCM update. Check with your dealership.
    1
  20441. The door lacks reinforcement. The kit developed adds more structure to the door to stop the mirror from shaking
    1
  20442. Hi! Yes it has been corrected
    1
  20443. Hi! Yes you can
    1
  20444. Hi This is something that came up. Did you have passengers in the rear seat that moved when this happed? The alarm resets everytime youre in park and the rear door is open and closed.
    1
  20445. That’s normal and by design. It’s like that to prevent theft when you remote start your car.
    1
  20446. Hi Cesar! So far the highlander hybrid doesn’t have anything published for fueling performance issues I’ll update when I hear anything
    1
  20447. Hi! Thank you for watching my video! Both options are good for the auxiliary battery. The cteck I would connect it directly at the battery but the autowit you can use to jump start the car at the terminals under the hood.
    1
  20448. That’s a new one to me!
    1
  20449. Hi! I would bring it up to your dealerships attention. They will test it and perform the repair as needed to take care of the issue.
    1
  20450. Hi! It can’t be permanently disabled you’ll want to shut if off every time
    1
  20451. Hi! You could have the gas tank issue. Have your dealership check it
    1
  20452. Yes that’s normal
    1
  20453. Thank you for watching my videos Mark. I agree with you. As cars evolve their “normals” change and people need to be aware of them
    1
  20454. Yes there’s an official repair for it with a TSB
    1
  20455. Hi! Some of the issues are. But for example the torque vectoring issues are not
    1
  20456. That’s possible. At this point the dealership needs to take over and the DCM communication
    1
  20457. Hi! Near the SOS light there are two lights one red and one green. Is the green light lit after the car is running?
    1
  20458. Hi! It’s an emission device. From the dealership side it can’t be turned off permenantly
    1
  20459. Hi! Officially through Toyota it’s not possible however it might be possible. Honestly I haven’t tried it myself
    1
  20460. Hi! Honestly the price will vary by area. And with the current market it’s hard
    1
  20461. Hi! I would contact your dealership for any recall coverage questions as it varies greatly and they can look It up by ViN
    1
  20462. Hi! Did you have the issue where the gauge reads 7/8 full when the pump clicks off?
    1
  20463. Hi! It’s not a bad job to do usually takes 2-3 hours tops. Sometimes they have to order the kit which takes a bit of time.
    1
  20464. Toyota still maintains a high reserve in the tank. The tank is small on the RAV4 hybrid. Have the dealership take a look to be sure everything is good.
    1
  20465. Hi! At this time most of the issues has been taken care of
    1
  20466. Hi! This one is lunar rock
    1
  20467. Hi! Not really. At that year these are solid
    1
  20468. Hi! Yes it’s a known issue and I have not information on fixing it yet
    1
  20469. Hi! Likely an LE model is not equipped with the factory remote start.
    1
  20470. Hi! I haven’t seen any. But if that’s is an occurrence it is an expensive repair.
    1
  20471. Hi! On this generation 2021 and up in any trim is good. If you absolutely want simplicity stay with the LE and xle. On the previous generation 2016-2018 in any trim
    1
  20472. Hi! If your model is equipped with remote start you can remote start your car from the fob
    1
  20473. Hi! They both will last a long time but repair wise on the older 2.5 is easier and cost less than the more complex dynamic force
    1
  20474. Hi! Thank you for watching my channel! So they still use Atkinson cycle engines. Both battery options are good. They both have advantages and disadvantages but overall I would prefer one over the other
    1
  20475. Hi! It’s likely just a weak battery. The highlander has no issues draining the battery don’t worry
    1
  20476. Hi! Honestly I would contact Toyota if the dealership is unable to resolve your issue. With the transmission the 8 speed is clunky. Have the dealership checked for software updates and reset the memory? For the rattle noise unfortunately these can be difficult to fix and patience is key here. They will eventually find it but if it doesn’t happen all the time you’d need to establish a pattern to get it to happen so they can duplicate it and fix it
    1
  20477. Hi! Yes it’s a TSB
    1
  20478. Hi! Yes they are covered regardless. That is a safety recall and it doesn’t expire. If the car is affected the engine number will be checked if it applies it gets a new engine. If not then you’re all set
    1
  20479. Hi! Does it do that in S mode or normal driving?
    1
  20480. Hi! The passenger seat shake has been reported but so far its normal
    1
  20481. Your only option if your car is not equipped is to get aftermarket.
    1
  20482. Hi! Did you try to remote start it with the fob like the video?
    1
  20483. The bolt was modified on the dc converter and as far as I know the mirror no as many car owners didn’t complain about it.
    1
  20484. Hi! The updated parts resolved the issue. Talk to your dealership
    1
  20485. Hi! Do you have the trouble codes?
    1
  20486. Hi! They do with limited functions
    1
  20487. Hi! It would have to be diagnosed. Nothing known and best is to compare it with a similar car
    1
  20488. Hi! It was likely overfilled but the oil was cold that’s why it showed correct level. Stop by the dealership and have them double check it
    1
  20489. I think the new Lexus is a nice car! Many carry over components and shouldn't have many issues in the future.
    1
  20490. Hi! It’s called rail dust and requires regular cleaning. All cars get it lighter color cars will be noticeable more than darker cars. White is the worst. I have a couple of white cars and it’s terrible but they do come off.
    1
  20491. Hi! Very mild off roading as they’re really not very capable or designed for heavy off-roading
    1
  20492. Hi! Likely not if you’re going with an approved size for models with an 18” wheel
    1
  20493. Hi! That one could have a special policy that covers it for longer than the normal warranty if it ever have issues
    1
  20494. Hi! Thank you for watching my channel! So on the headlight that is correct the bulb is not a serviceable part and if there’s an issue the whole unit would have to be replaced. However that is not common at all. The LED bulbs toyotas have used are very high quality and can easily last the life of the car. I wouldn’t worry about it.
    1
  20495. Hi! The one in the video is the XLE premium model
    1
  20496. Hi! Perhaps the software update would fix it.
    1
  20497. Hi! The transmission is the same but the AWD system is different. The limited and adventure uses torque vectoring the others dont
    1
  20498. Hi! That depends on your preferences. Other than the EV range of the prime they’re exactly the same car.
    1
  20499. Hi! Which trim rav4?
    1
  20500. I haven’t heard the mirror shakes after the fix from the ones I’ve done. The hood shake is correct but there’s no remedy for that.
    1
  20501. Hi! The first generation or the second?
    1
  20502. Never heard of that! I’ll research it thank you for bringing it up
    1
  20503. Hi! The 2021 didn’t have an issue with the fuel tank. And the ones that did have an issue were not a safety issue. You just couldn’t fill the tank all the way up
    1
  20504. Hi! You’d want to have a camera that has a built in battery.
    1
  20505. Hi! There’s no evidence to suggest that it would cause harm
    1
  20506. Yes they’re a lot better lately
    1
  20507. Hi! I wouldn’t suspend the services I would ask the dealership if there’s an update to your radio that could solve the issues
    1
  20508. Hi! It wouldn’t affect it unless it stored for months in that weather
    1
  20509. That’s what it’s rated for so yes it can.
    1
  20510. At this mileage transmission fluid and coolant if it hasn’t been replaced. Both can be DIY in most cases
    1
  20511. Hi! Depends on the mileage. That light doesn’t indicate which mainrwnance
    1
  20512. Yeah the new battery tester is interesting. Most of the batteries after an hour of charging came back to life
    1
  20513. Hi! Which 2.5? The 2AR-FE or the A25A?
    1
  20514. Very true!
    1
  20515. Hi! For that generation rav4 it is not possible to have both the foot kick sensor and the hitch. So if you install a hitch you’ll loose the foot kick sensor option.
    1
  20516. Hi! Don’t have access to the Canadian side specifics
    1
  20517. Hi! I think a hybrid would be a good choice for you if you like how they drive and gas mileage is a high priority over performance
    1
  20518. Hi! These seem to be issues related to the radio. They’ll need to update it to the latest version. Take a video of what’s going on when it happens so they can see it
    1
  20519. Yes
    1
  20520. Hi! It shouldn’t have issues
    1
  20521. I haven’t seen returning issues with shaking after the repair so far. Please communicate these issues to your dealership and Toyota so they can verify the repair and make additional repairs.
    1
  20522. How cold are we talking?
    1
  20523. Hi! Any warning messages?
    1
  20524. Hi! On the back door you’ll want to open the door and close it manually and it should start working. The radio disconnect the battery again and let the radio boot up. Parking assist unavailable you need to drive the car for a bit and It’ll go awat
    1
  20525. Hi! The update will depend on what software you have in the car
    1
  20526. Hi! Thank you for watching my video! The remote start was an option related to connected services. If you don’t have connected services option then it’s not available
    1
  20527. Hi! Not all cars have A DCM most of the new ones do. You don’t have to have the subscription you can let it expire without issues. There’s a difference between opting out of the service or simply letting your subscription expire
    1
  20528. Toyota is always on the generous side for their reserve.
    1
  20529. Look out for the issues when you inspect the car. Battery drain is one you’ll have to find out about. Not a big deal as it’s just a simple update
    1
  20530. You can pull the fuse but the microphone and one of the speakers won’t work anymore
    1
  20531. Hi! They all do have a heat exchanger that uses coolant to cool the fluid.
    1
  20532. Hi! The start stop was available in the RAV4 if you see the button to cancel it then you have it
    1
  20533. The DCM is essentially a cell phone that has Data communication. So any direct download to the car is through the DCM.
    1
  20534. If it says 4WD it should have a transfer case and a rear differential on your RAV4 is that not the case?
    1
  20535. There any many methods to locate it. Once they find it they will insulate the area and you won’t get it any more
    1
  20536. Hi! Wind noise can be fixed by the dealership if it’s abnormal. They are not the most quiet cars there is. But you’ll feel them quieter because the engine is not running when using EV mode
    1
  20537. I would get the fuel tank issue fixed if it’s a hybrid model
    1
  20538. Generally rav4s but the gas tank issue is exclusive to the hybrid model.
    1
  20539. Hi! It needs to be checked for leaks especially the water pump.
    1
  20540. Thank you for sharing it! I just can’t download things from the Toyota website and share it for copyright. But now that’s a resource to share from. Thank you!
    1
  20541. Hi! The TSB number is T-SB-0007-21
    1
  20542. Hi! That TSB is too new to appear online yet. I can get you the number of the TSB but I cannot share a download link as it’s protected from my side. Website is down for maintenance please replay to this comment when you can so I can see it and remember to get you the number tomorrow
    1
  20543. I understand. Many folks lease cars and replace them when the lease is up. Which when it works in your favor really gives you a headache free car ownership if you budget around the monthly payment. However on that car that you currently have it makes financial sense to buy it out as it’s a really good reliable car.
    1
  20544. Hi! Anything is possible but the cost to do that is very high and would be a much wiser option to sell the car and get one with a power lift gate. Not something I recommend as they are problematic
    1
  20545. Hi! Yes that’s the lunar rock.
    1
  20546. I would follow the light. Reserves will vary and we’re starting to see some odd designs on the fuel pumps so that large reserve might be designed in there to keep the pump cool
    1
  20547. Hi! It could be the sensor is not able to get an accurate reading due to the heavy rain so it disable itself momentarily
    1
  20548. Hi! Thank you for watching my channel. So the Direct injection will come on really randomly as the computer sees fit. Certain driving conditions will use direct only, some will use port and at times it can use both actually.
    1
  20549. Hi! Which document did you find that in?
    1
  20550. I would buy the hybrid or better the prime. I drive a lot and the better gas mileage of the hybrid is good.
    1
  20551. Hi! depends if the model is equipped with this feature. You can try it, if it doesn't work then likely it's not equipped. You don't need a subscription or anything to start the car this way so I'd give it a try.
    1
  20552. Hi! From the dealership no but custom yes it’s possible.
    1
  20553. Hi! I think the previous generation is great especially the 2016-2018. They have some issues to look out for when buying one. Here’s a comprehensive video on the previous generation https://youtu.be/KIAq0M3BUWQ
    1
  20554. Hi! Don’t worry about the filter as long as the fluid is changed on time.
    1
  20555. The DCM draining the battery doesn’t affect the 2017s but they do have a tendency not to behave well with battery drain especially when not driven often
    1
  20556. Hi! Wind noises are common with all cars and if under warranty can be fixed
    1
  20557. Hi! There are a few campaigns for updates but they shouldn’t be vague about it. Did the paper work they gave you say anything?
    1
  20558. Hi! I have a similar video dedicated to that generation sienna find it here https://youtu.be/BSI_iA6I4_4
    1
  20559. Hi! Every 5k or 6 months
    1
  20560. Hi! The 2021 has most of the issues fixed
    1
  20561. Hi! There are a couple technical service bulletins haven’t seen issues after the repair though
    1
  20562. Hi! How is your driving style? On your power meter do you find yourself being the eco area more?
    1
  20563. Hi! On normal maintenance like oil changes fluids it should be ok. However on repairs involving the hybrid system I would ask for their prime specialist to work on the car which is usually automatic unless they don’t have one which is doubtful if they sold you the car
    1
  20564. Hi most of the issues are fixed for 2021
    1
  20565. Hi! If you drive the car somewhat regularly meaning every week it’ll get the normal around town errand runs you’re good with a hybrid. If you will be storing the car for 1 month or more regularly then it’s not a good choice. Most of the issues are resolved with the 2021 model year.
    1
  20566. Clutches can surprise you on how long they last. I’ve seen them go well over 200k miles and some fail as early as 20k from bad habits
    1
  20567. Hi it doesn’t hurt
    1
  20568. Hi! It shouldn’t be an issue
    1
  20569. Hi! The Prius in this video already has an oil separator behind the intake manifold which basically does the same thing
    1
  20570. Hi! On the 2nd generation it takes a bit longer and you just need to turn the key on to get the pump going. So just press the start button twice without pressing the brake pedal and the pump will start going and you can continue to top it up and it stops then go into maintenance mode and let it push the rest of the air out
    1
  20571. I personally would
    1
  20572. Hi! It is the same for your Lexus and unless there’s contamination a flush is not needed.
    1
  20573. Hi ray! Do the exact same that I did in the video and you’ll enter maintenance mode in your Prius prime where the engine will run continuously. But just a reminder don’t drive the car in this mode.
    1
  20574. Hi! The radiator leak is likely just a cracked radiator from the accident and wouldn’t set codes unless it leaks all coolant and overheats again
    1
  20575. Hi Ahmad! How’s the Camry treating you?
    1
  20576. It might need a top off.
    1
  20577. Hi! One of the engine coolant and one for the inverter. There’s no radiator cap on the radiator because of the small space and the place where the radiator is installed in the car
    1
  20578. The first replacement at 100k miles or 5 years then every 50k miles or 5 years
    1
  20579. Thank you!
    1
  20580. Hi! Honestly I haven’t checked this company In a while. You’re better off with techinfo.Toyota.com
    1
  20581. Hi! It is safe if used properly and the car should always be secured on the lock and lifted correctly with it.
    1
  20582. Hi! They are two separate systems
    1
  20583. Hi! First replacement at 100k miles or 5 years. After that every 50k miles or 5 years
    1
  20584. This procedure is for hybrids. The engine coolant side can apply to non hybrid 4 cylinders however I will have a separate video on that in the future. The V6 models are different and have a specific procedure
    1
  20585. Hi! Working on cars everyday you get used to things ( water with salt) falling into your eye 😀
    1
  20586. Hi! The 2GR v6 has a specific bleeding procedure otherwise you won’t get the air out and you’ll have no heat and overheating issues. I plan to make a video in the near future on the 2GR coolant bleeding
    1
  20587. Hi! So different markets could have different packaging. My reference was for The US market. Look at the date at the bottom of the label on the back. Does it say a year next to the trademark informatonv
    1
  20588. Hi! Maintenance mode is the same procedure on your highlander
    1
  20589. Hi! Nothing special is needed
    1
  20590. Hi! Yes over time it does
    1
  20591. The RAV4 does have a heater shut off valve. More information on the engine in the RAV4 in this video https://youtu.be/9GWKBbEMCC4
    1
  20592. Hi Mike! I am planning on a general video for the new engine coolant replacement which will include your 2020 rav4. I do need a candidate car for the video in the Chicago area.
    1
  20593. Yea drain and fill it and let it run until the fan comes on and off twice
    1
  20594. Yes on the engine side. Which model do you have?
    1
  20595. Hi! No horror stories at all. No clutches to worry about. I would change it every 60-90k miles. A video is coming this week for exactly that.
    1
  20596. Hi! Every 60-90k miles is ideal. Even if you go over that no issues changing it. I will have a video next week on how to replace the fluid with more information.
    1
  20597. Hi! The pcv valve is not a maintenance item, however I usually recommend it with spark plugs around 120k as a preventative measure. The EGR is also another non maintenance item, cleaning will depend if it’s dirty. I would remove the metal line going from the egr valve to the manifold to see how it looks and decide if you should clean things or not
    1
  20598. Hi! The thermostats should be open when the fan comes on the first time but the second time is to allow and air to come out
    1
  20599. Likely due to air in the system also check your fan filter for the hybrid battery as the overheating could be for that not for the engine
    1
  20600. Hi! I wouldn’t use red coolant in your 2010 Prius.
    1
  20601. Hi! So far they’ve been very quiet. Internally things are very quiet as well. The service side of things in Toyota land, we get details shortly after the model is revealed to the public and a production start date is set
    1
  20602. Most engines will have a block drain however Toyota almost always put it in a very difficult place to drain and what you drain is a small amount so it really doesn’t justify the pain of getting to the block drain. And when I do drain the block and take the engine apart there’s still a good amount of coolant still left in the engine. You’ll never get every last drop of coolant out of the engine. You replace enough that the new fresh coolant quantity is much greater than the old.
    1
  20603. Hi! The 16 RAV4 has kinda of a different design for the high beams because it uses only one bulb and a small motor that swings the light up. Doesn’t have 2 bulbs. That motor would need to be checked if it’s stuck in high beam mode on the affected side
    1
  20604. Maintenance mode is different from when the maintenance light is on
    1
  20605. For both
    1
  20606. Two should do it
    1
  20607. Hi Kevin! So it’s a myth to say at this exact miles the head gasket will go. But head gasket failures are somewhat common on the 3rd generation Prius. No concrete fact reason that I can share to why it’s happening. But replacing the coolant and not neglecting check engine lights is a big factor. Since the car has no temp gauge if it overheats it will set trouble codes. If owners ignore them which they do! Then the issues start
    1
  20608. Hi! They are not connected and need to be serviced separately
    1
  20609. Hi! So this video doesn’t apply to hybrids with a 3.5L V6 and the ones with the newest dynamic force engine. I’ll leave a note for everyone. I’ll make a video dedicated to the dynamic force engine in the near future.
    1
  20610. The coolant circulates anyway.
    1
  20611. Leaving the heater on will make the engine take longer to warm up and open the thermostat.
    1
  20612. Hi! Not yet! I will once I get one in the shop
    1
  20613. Depends on your state laws. In the case of coolant the first replacement is at 100k miles or 5 years which puts you out of the powertrain warranty.
    1
  20614. Hi! Very good question. So coolant has 2 issues after it gets old. One the anti freeze in the coolant starts breaking down and now the anti freeze protection level diminishes. The second issue is that it becomes acidic and starts attacking seals and gaskets and starts causing leaks. That’s why there’s a replacement interval for coolant.
    1
  20615. Yes it does
    1
  20616. Hi! A small amount remains in the block which I wouldn’t worry about. Some of them have a block drain which still doesn’t get everything out
    1
  20617. It wouldn’t hurt in that case. I would however drain and coolant and look. If it’s all pink I would run the cleaner through the engine only not the inverter
    1
  20618. Hi! I wouldn’t use any products on the inverter side. On the engine you can but I personally wouldn’t bother unless the coolant has been mixed with aftermarket
    1
  20619. Hi. The water pump and thermostat are not maintenance items and should not be replaced unless they have an issue
    1
  20620. It’s not possible to remove the thermostat to bleed the system. And following the instructions in the video you don’t need the heat on
    1
  20621. Hi! These are good if taken care of
    1
  20622. Hi! There is but it’s in a difficult to get to spot and only a small amount is drained making it a bit not worth the hassle of getting to it.
    1
  20623. Hi! Yes it does usually on top or next to the engine radiator
    1
  20624. Hi! Yes it does
    1
  20625. Anxiously waiting for more details on the new tundra!
    1
  20626. Ah I see. The radiator drain plug will be at the bottom of the radiator
    1
  20627. Hi! It’s the same for the Camry and I would use parts.Toyota.com for parts look up
    1
  20628. Yes it works. On the engine side it’s a bit different I have a different video for that
    1
  20629. Shut it off and start it again
    1
  20630. Hi! A hybrid is a great option if it suits your needs and you like the way they drive. I personally would change the oil the first 1000 miles but it’s not required
    1
  20631. Hi! Just turn the car off and back on and it’s out of maintenance mode
    1
  20632. You can go around the hose and drain it. Need to remove the lower cover to access it
    1
  20633. Hi! The torque spec is 9 ft lbs
    1
  20634. Hi! The promotion ended on this one. Haven’t gotten a renewed code yet
    1
  20635. Hi! They should be the same
    1
  20636. I wouldn’t do that though. That’s not what maintenance mode is for.
    1
  20637. It works.
    1
  20638. Good catch! It’s a bit low in the front!
    1
  20639. Hi! I don’t have experience with Hyundai hybrids
    1
  20640. Same type of coolant yes
    1
  20641. Yes it does
    1
  20642. Hi Jim! Let’s figure this one out. So you want to do the following: 1- with your foot off the brake you will press the start button twice until all the lights in the dash come on. 2- you will press the gas pedal all the way to the floor twice quickly then press the brake pedal and shift it into neutral. Let go of the brake pedal then press the gas pedal twice and then brake pedal on shift into park then let the brake pedal go and press the gas twice and it should say maintenance mode then press the brake pedal and push the start button
    1
  20643. Hi! The surface rust is very normal for this area because of the road salt used. If you have road salt it wouldn’t hurt to rust proof things but eventually no matter what you do you’ll have some surface rust
    1
  20644. Hi! It should be underneath the transmission just like the video
    1
  20645. Just the engine side on this case
    1
  20646. Hi! Pink. The part number varies
    1
  20647. Just shut it off and restart
    1
  20648. Hi! It’s recommended to replace it the first 100k miles or 5 years then every 50k miles or 5 years. Coolant breaks down and becomes acidic and starts attacking seals and leaking.
    1
  20649. Old bottle design with a pink cap or the very old design with the yellow cap
    1
  20650. If you ever get this again before you strip the head of the bolt, tap it with a hammer a few times and it will loosen up.
    1
  20651. Hi! Yes it does
    1
  20652. Hi! Yes leave it running. Usually within a few minutes you’ll see the movement
    1
  20653. Hi! It’s part of the engine cooling circuit
    1
  20654. P0a80 shouldn’t prevent it from circulating however you do need to get that fixed
    1
  20655. Hi. Did the car have any issues before the coolant?
    1
  20656. Nothing different about the 2005
    1
  20657. If you can’t find your manual on that website then The only other one is techinfo.Toyota.com
    1
  20658. For CHR hybrid yes. Non hybrid no it’s different.
    1
  20659. Yes it’s the same.
    1
  20660. Hi! Not directly the same. Use the correct coolant for your car
    1
  20661. Labor time wise around 1.5-2 hours
    1
  20662. No major damage will be caused. This is one that causes issues over a long time. Like keeping it for years
    1
  20663. Hi! I wouldn’t use water to fill the system. Use the premixed coolant
    1
  20664. Hi! It’s the same for the RAV4 prime and the replacement interval is the first 100k miles or 5 years then after that every 5 years or 50k miles
    1
  20665. Usually 2 gallons
    1
  20666. Are you in the US?
    1
  20667. Honestly the engine coolant is actually low labor usually around half an hour or so. The inverter coolant because most independent shops don’t want to deal with the hybrid system pays around 1 hour of labor. So you got around 1.5-1.7 hours in labor for both. A gallon of coolant retail is around 20-25 so that’s the variance in the price
    1
  20668. Around 300-400 dollars at the dealership
    1
  20669. Hi! Try not to drive it longer than that as these things heat up pretty quick
    1
  20670. Some auto parts store or repair facilities will take the old coolant to recycle.
    1
  20671. Hi! Fill the coolant using a spill free funnel and run the engine without heat until the fans cycle on and off twice
    1
  20672. Hi! Every 50k miles
    1
  20673. Hi! It’s similar to a manual transmission. Take the fill plug and fluid level should be at the bottom of the fill plug
    1
  20674. This model Prius doesn’t just have a hot temp warning light
    1
  20675. Hi! You can get either of them. Without any adapters they will sit on the coolant tank.
    1
  20676. Hi! Same procedure as in this video
    1
  20677. You’ll need to disconnect the hose for the egr valve when you fill it. Then raise the engine rpm while you bleed it
    1
  20678. Hi. Yes it’s simple. I don’t have a video for that yet
    1
  20679. Hi depends on the weather and how cold the engine was it could take up to 20-25 min
    1
  20680. Honestly I would need to look at it to know what’s going on. With hybrids it’s a bit more complicated to diagnose the brake system for DIYers
    1
  20681. Hi! If the brakes are not applied and it’s still cycling there could be an internal leak or more common air in the system.
    1
  20682. At the dealership
    1
  20683. Thank you Harold! I’ll do another giveaway when it hits 5k and make it something good this time! Stay tuned!
    1
  20684. You can access the repair manual at techinfo.Toyota.com for all specifications
    1
  20685. Most bolts have a torque spec except some screws on interior items
    1
  20686. Usually 8-10 hours
    1
  20687. 16-18 hours of labor plus parts
    1
  20688. Hi! At this age if your engine isn’t leaking likely you won’t have issues.
    1
  20689. Hi! This water pump was replaced in the past
    1
  20690. I haven’t seen one on a 2021 yet but the other day we had a 2019 with a leaking cam tower. Also very random on those
    1
  20691. Hi! I would stick with the 5w30 on your Avalon. And for the metal line if the recall was done I wouldn’t worry. It’s a pain to go to an all metal line as you need to remove the power steering pump
    1
  20692. Hi! Nothing can be done to prevent it unfortunately. Some of them leak some don’t.
    1
  20693. Hi! It’s nit something that routine maintenance. Keeping a good oil change interval is enough to keep them clean
    1
  20694. Interesting. We had one the other day with a can wire that was pulled out of the connector.
    1
  20695. Hi! The block is similar design wise and the front cover but the cylinder heads are very different
    1
  20696. Around 80k miles
    1
  20697. Hi! Hourly rates vary greatly by area. In Chicago the average is around 140-170 per hour. Extended warranties also vary greatly.
    1
  20698. Around 2.5-3k
    1
  20699. Hi! Around 16-17 hours of labor
    1
  20700. It’s possible but it’s a lot harder and chances of things going south and it leaking again become higher
    1
  20701. 8-10
    1
  20702. This customer didn’t want to replace them but usually they get recommended for no additional labor. Some people do it some don’t
    1
  20703. Around 2.5-3k on most models
    1
  20704. Hi! Yes they do.
    1
  20705. Hi! Not very common on that year avalon and es350
    1
  20706. It’s possible to do it but for me it’s much easier to just pull the drive train down
    1
  20707. Hi! It’s possible but will take a lot longer and not on every model is possible. Like a Camry is simply not possible
    1
  20708. This one took around 8-10 hours to finish
    1
  20709. Hi! Contaminated surface when installing the sealer. Contaminated with oil
    1
  20710. I don’t remember customer pay time right off the top of my head but warranty time is around 16 I think
    1
  20711. It is common on this engine in some models
    1
  20712. Hi! Honestly your best bet is to reply to this comment. Email and social media contact is backed up at the moment
    1
  20713. I think it was 17-18 hours
    1
  20714. Yes the engine should shut off. You likely have an issue with the wiring.
    1
  20715. It could be. You’ll need to check the wiring from the maf to the computer
    1
  20716. Hi! Is the MaF reading on a scan tool?
    1
  20717. No the whole engine rebuild would cost three times this job.
    1
  20718. It’s not really a gasket it’s a sealer that seals that area
    1
  20719. On the area where the head meets the block meets the front cover
    1
  20720. So far parts are still available hard to tell when they’ll stop
    1
  20721. Both replaced not long ago
    1
  20722. Hi! This one was under extended warranty. Took around 8-10 actual
    1
  20723. You got it!
    1
  20724. No thread lock and the sealer is Toyota FIPG
    1
  20725. Not on this one. Unless they’re structurally compromised they don’t get replaced.
    1
  20726. This highlander has around 80k and it’s really hard to say when it happens seen them leak as low as 15k and some go over 200k without leaks
    1
  20727. No problem my brother. Here’s a link to the same table in this video https://www.tillmantools.com/J-47242-Engine-Support-Table-Kent-Moore-p/kmtj-47242.htm
    1
  20728. Hi! I would find out why it overheated first
    1
  20729. Around 16-17 hours of labor
    1
  20730. Hi! I have done a tbelt on a 3.4l been a while since we don’t see those a lot anymore at the dealership
    1
  20731. Hi! Somewhat common. You can look behind the engine for oil residue. Very easy to find
    1
  20732. Hi! On the tensioner you can but it’s very difficult and tight. The AC compressor you can change the clutch if you can get a tool to hold it and take the nut off
    1
  20733. This one was between 15-16 varies by model. Highest one I think is 24 for a 2006-2012 RAV4 V6 which is the hardest one in this configuration
    1
  20734. Hi! No on the Camry 4 cylinder the engine doesn’t need to come out. It can be done in the car
    1
  20735. Hi! It’s basically the same on this video plus removing the chain and the gears. That table is made for nissan actually. Search in nissans special tool catalog and you’ll find it
    1
  20736. Oil leak front the front timing cover
    1
  20737. Coming up actually!
    1
  20738. Hi! Some diagnosis is needed to know if the relays are stuck or it’s getting an incorrect signal to come on
    1
  20739. Your RAV4 has a 4 cylinder which is much simpler. I’ll do a similar video when I get one
    1
  20740. Hi john. Email me with the title in caps Chicago service request and I’ll get back to you.
    1
  20741. 5-7 hours from a front timing cover?
    1
  20742. Hi! The FXS not so much, it can still happen but I haven’t seen many. The FKS in some models yes it is very well affected
    1
  20743. This was extended warranty but it paid warranty time
    1
  20744. Hi! Your 18 highlander has the updated version of this engine so it’s a bit different
    1
  20745. Hard to explain it simply but it has a spring that almost locks the differential at low load and steady acceleration and at high load it opens the differential. Very mechanical and not electronic but very smart
    1
  20746. Hi Marjan! Yes it’s called pre torque. Pretty cool design to improve drivability
    1
  20747. It’s better but still they can leak and I’ve seen quite a few.
    1
  20748. Around 80k
    1
  20749. That’s a typical engine bay for most cars that come through the dealership.
    1
  20750. Hi! There’s a bridge or support that sits on top to hold the engine so you can remove the sub frame and pull the transmission out
    1
  20751. Hi Craig! Yes usually we recommend to the advisor certain things. You can’t recommend repair items like thermostat, water pump or belt tensioner on an extended warranty job because those are warranty covered items and customers typically get upset that they’re not covered and it opens a whole can of worms. If any of the items have any issues then they’re covered by the warranty as well. Maintenance items like spark plugs belts we usually recommend
    1
  20752. Depends on the model. Anywhere from 15-25. Some are easy some are hars
    1
  20753. Hi! I’d need to hear the sound. Usually they have a little bit of noise but not that loud
    1
  20754. Hi! 87 is fine in the 5th gen 4Runner as they are rated for it
    1
  20755. That is normal as you get slight corrosion on the brakes
    1
  20756. Hi! On the brakes does it happen after rain? And the Tacoma bump applies to the FJ as well and is normal
    1
  20757. Hi! They don’t really get good gas mileage. It does depend on the way you drive
    1
  20758. Hi! Depends on the car. In a car that requires 87 then 87 without ethanol is better
    1
  20759. Hi! That can happen from rust and neglect. Haven’t seen cases without rust
    1
  20760. Hi! Different tuning is the difference
    1
  20761. Hi! Look underneath the water pump pulley for pink crust
    1
  20762. Hi! Honestly hard to tell if just by looking at the car without having actual records.
    1
  20763. Thank you for your comment. Your car is a 2005 4Runner. The car in the video and the recommendation is for a 2007-2009 FJ cruiser. Two different models.
    1
  20764. Hi! You want to place it on a solid place that’s directly attached to the suspected noisy idler or pulley. So either on the bolt that holds it or the block behind it
    1
  20765. Similar yes
    1
  20766. Yes especially the early years
    1
  20767. Hi! Which code do you have and what model?
    1
  20768. Hi! Replace the coolant if it hasn’t been replaced and the plugs every 30k so you’re getting close
    1
  20769. Once I get one to do that job I will film it unless you’re close and want it done for the filmijg
    1
  20770. Honestly I would just do a single drain and fill and call it a day.
    1
  20771. Hi! At this point I would leave it alone
    1
  20772. It’s a blue point flashlight made by snap on
    1
  20773. Hi! Both are 2 different sounds. A bearing sound is unmistakable
    1
  20774. Hi! Clean the throttle body to start.
    1
  20775. Hi! I would leave the transmission alone at this point
    1
  20776. I wouldn’t use one. Just change the oil and filter on time and you shouldn’t have issues
    1
  20777. Hi! They don’t do much especially for the transmission which already has magnets in the pan
    1
  20778. On the 2014 regular gas is ok.
    1
  20779. Hi! At this mileage I would leave it alone
    1
  20780. It’s not by year it’s this engine.
    1
  20781. Emissions requirement
    1
  20782. Yes I can.
    1
  20783. Hi! I haven’t seen many. Maybe one or two
    1
  20784. Hi! Not as common but I wouldn’t wait to find out. Remove them and reinstall them at the very least
    1
  20785. Send me the link from toyotanation
    1
  20786. Hi CJ. Very interested in details on this one. I haven’t seen it. Curious if it’s the plug that was loose. Did you buy it new?
    1
  20787. Should be 60k miles I’ll double check
    1
  20788. Almost the same. Slight differences
    1
  20789. Hi! I haven’t seen any issues with coils on the newer ones
    1
  20790. Hi! It’s not exactly the same. The spark plug replacement is easier in the Tacoma
    1
  20791. Not yet. Once I get one I will
    1
  20792. Anti seize
    1
  20793. Hi! I haven’t seen one yet with that issue
    1
  20794. Whatever breaks replace it and call it a day. That’s how working on cars is.
    1
  20795. Hi! Head over to parts.Toyota.com enter your vin number then search for air surge gasket
    1
  20796. Hi! I’m in the early stages of working on a Tacoma series similar to the 4runner series
    1
  20797. Ok. Anything sticking in the back?
    1
  20798. Interesting. That shouldn’t be the case I’m seeing fronts more than tears. Does it have electronic parking brake?
    1
  20799. You don’t need to disconnect the battery. Just have the key off and out of the car
    1
  20800. Hi! Tire pressure is on the drivers door jamb I would use that recommended tire pressure
    1
  20801. Hi! The hybrid model is different
    1
  20802. Hi! Usually they don’t charge for something like that.
    1
  20803. Hi! Very similar.
    1
  20804. Yes that’s correct and that’s what I said in the video. Removing them you start from the outside then towards the center.
    1
  20805. Hi! It’s different for the 2007 highlander. It’s a bit more difficult on your car but the same concept. The plenum needs to come off
    1
  20806. Very similar
    1
  20807. If you see oil again on the plugs take it back
    1
  20808. It is 100% coming from the bottom of the tubes. Surprised the dealership didn’t know that!
    1
  20809. Hi! On that v6 it is listed in the manual as 60k miles
    1
  20810. Hahaha that was a nightmare job! It’s done though! Just the running board rebuild left!
    1
  20811. Hi my brother. Other than potential lower fuel economy no harm
    1
  20812. Hi! At this point a drain and fill is safer
    1
  20813. Hi! The intake plenum gasket or also called air surge tank gasket
    1
  20814. Hi! Part numbers could vary so I would look them up at parts.Toyota.com
    1
  20815. Hi! Here’s the video for that engine https://youtu.be/dcsPyhn162E
    1
  20816. You could but make sure it’s the correct plug
    1
  20817. Hi! I wouldn’t replace any O2 sensor unless it has a trouble code already. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it
    1
  20818. Hi! I don’t at the moment
    1
  20819. Hi! Did you run it with the cowl off?
    1
  20820. Hi! Your plugs are 120k or 10 years
    1
  20821. You can do it on a sienna. It’s a lot tighter but it can be done. You might need to remove the bolt completely on the side that I told you to loosen and remove the 2nd stud if you want to make it easier
    1
  20822. Hi! Which years
    1
  20823. Slightly different for hybrids but similar
    1
  20824. Hi! Every 120k miles
    1
  20825. Hi! Yes there are some issues with thermostats but they usually set a code and you’ll get a check engine light
    1
  20826. Hi! All the coils are exactly the same. You can mix them up without issues.
    1
  20827. Hi! Thank you for noticing that. I’m working on blurring it as I write this comment.
    1
  20828. Hi! Life time warranty on the battery sounds too good to be true. Is there a fine line with that? Usually dealership batteries have a 84 month warrantu
    1
  20829. Hi! That’s normal if it only happens once then it goes back to normal. The computers need to communicate
    1
  20830. Hi! They don’t change the filter. If the fluid is changed on time you don’t need to change the filter
    1
  20831. Hi! What is the question it’s asking?
    1
  20832. They are sold as certified used cars. When a new car has more than 100 miles it’s usually a dealer trade
    1
  20833. @Saif Altabaqchali Please fix your email or contact me. I keep getting your email delivery notice for undeliverable mail.
    1
  20834. Hi! I wouldn’t honestly.
    1
  20835. Goo gone usually works
    1
  20836. Here’s a video that’ll give you an in depth look at this engine https://youtu.be/vWOtROAma7I
    1
  20837. This one has a timing chain
    1
  20838. That is good
    1
  20839. Usually 30 but I’ll double check. Reply to this comment so I can check tomorrow
    1
  20840. Honestly because it’s possibly the best filter wrench there is. I don’t recommend a diy mechanic buy it because you can buy a cheap one and it will work great for a few oil changes here and there. But when you work in a shop full of Toyota’s and use this thing daily, it will pay for itself shortly afterwards.
    1
  20841. Hi! Thank you fo watching my channel! Could be more specific about the warranties? Do you mean extended warranty for the car?
    1
  20842. Hi! It is a special battery and nothing really special about replacing it
    1
  20843. Hi! The RAV4 prime has a regular filter not a canister it should be part number 90815-YZZN1
    1
  20844. Dominic I don’t have it at the moment but I can look it up tomorrow at work. Reply to this comment so I won’t forget
    1
  20845. You can reinstall it. As long as it doesn’t come apart and break
    1
  20846. Hi! I always recommend you use an original oil filter
    1
  20847. Hi! Fluid film works
    1
  20848. No real answer why. Perhaps production reasons. The only difference is the housing where the oil filter goes.
    1
  20849. Very true! The early 1gr had it at the top but that’s about it.
    1
  20850. Hi! Hand tighten the filter on this one. And press the gas pedal all the way to the floor in park and the engine will come on
    1
  20851. Hi! I would for sure try it
    1
  20852. Hi! I typically don’t like them. They don’t really do much in the real world
    1
  20853. Yes shut off the car and wait one minute then check the level
    1
  20854. You’d want to check the engine oil when it’s hot. Shut off the car and wait 1 minute then check it. It shouldn’t be over the max mark
    1
  20855. Hi! Conventional oil will work with than engine
    1
  20856. Hi! I would get a very small funnel. It will take longer but it will fit.
    1
  20857. Hi! You can use synthetic oil of the correct weight for your Avalon
    1
  20858. You can use premium gas but just know that you will not benefit from it at all.
    1
  20859. Hi! From what I know it’s not possible to register it on carfax without going to a shop that does share their information with carfax
    1
  20860. Hi! I don’t recommend it. If it fails there goes the engine
    1
  20861. Yep good old Illinois 😀
    1
  20862. Hi! Planning on this video to happen very soon! Weather is not helping though
    1
  20863. If it worked for the 2020 it should work for a 2021 Camry hybrid
    1
  20864. Hi! It has a spin on filter but that wrench also works on it
    1
  20865. Hi! Your car takes 4.4 quarts. Is the engine oil level correct?
    1
  20866. Hi! Yes I do
    1
  20867. Hi! It’s possible you’re draining more. Top off the fluid to full when the engine is fully warmed up and you’re good to go
    1
  20868. Hi! I’m working on a video for this exact request. Should be out soon. The 2gr can be challenging to bleed right but a trick I’ll show you in the upcoming video will make it a easy. I wouldn’t install a catch can on your v6
    1
  20869. Interesting I double checked the number and it came up. Really any tool that’s specific for this type of filter will work.
    1
  20870. Hi daniel! Is this in the US?
    1
  20871. I don’t have experience with it honestly.
    1
  20872. Hi! Thank you for watching my channel. I would replace the transfer case and both front and rear differential fluids every 30k miles and use a good GL5 gear oil like Mobil 1 or redline. The driveshaft needs regular grease but you do need a tool to grease the fittings.
    1
  20873. Hi. Yes you can!
    1
  20874. I personally would use steel ramps. Plastic ramps are likely well made as well but I feel more comfortable with steel.
    1
  20875. Hi! Conventional is good.
    1
  20876. Yes you can then double check it
    1
  20877. Hi! I would buy one from Toyota they’re inexpensive.
    1
  20878. All toyota models have an engine oil dipstick except the 2020 and up Supra.
    1
  20879. Hi! I personally would change it
    1
  20880. Hi! Drive it. It should shut off after some driving.
    1
  20881. 2gr-fks or 2gr-FE?
    1
  20882. On your 2021 4Runner with the later 4.0 it’s 6.5. The early 4.0 with the oil filter at the top was 5.5
    1
  20883. Hi! Replacing brake pads in a hybrid Toyota is the same as non hybrid. Just don’t open the hydraulic circuit. Those equipped with an electronic parking brake need a different procedure which will be covered in a future video.
    1
  20884. Hi! On some of them it does fit in them like the N1 F1 and F2
    1
  20885. Hi! That’s not normal. Any rust internally or other issues with the engine?
    1
  20886. Hi! 0W20 full synthetic and I would use an original oil filter the filter number is A5 from the dealership and it’s the same from 2010-2021 4runners
    1
  20887. I would use 0w16 and ask them to use. Some areas are affected by the supply chain shortages and might not have 0w16 available
    1
  20888. Hi! Is this in the US and is this the toyota included maintenance?
    1
  20889. Hi! Unfortunately I don’t know any techs or shops in your area
    1
  20890. Hi! I’m sorry about your friend May he Rest In Peace. Car jack safety is very important and often missed. Using jack stands of good quality and double checking that the car is secure by rocking it a few times is important. Otherwise it should be ok.
    1
  20891. They need to test it. You can test it yourself as well with a tool to see if replacement is needed or not
    1
  20892. Hi! Don’t worry for a one time occurrence. But going forward try not to let it go that long and everything will be ok.
    1
  20893. Hi! You could. Personally I wouldn’t. The original canister lasts the life of the engine if it’s not overtightened
    1
  20894. Hi! They should all pass through a similar training however if they choose to follow it or not is up to them.
    1
  20895. That’s a snap on funnel
    1
  20896. Just tighten it with the torque wrench until it reaches the specified torque
    1
  20897. The oil level could be overfilled. Are you checking it after you’ve driven the car and warmed it up then shut it off wait 1 minute then check?
    1
  20898. When you take the dipstick and clean it, does it stay clean or has residue? Maybe you need to clean the dipstick with some brake cleaner if it has stains on it
    1
  20899. Hi! Flip the dipstick. First clean it and put it back if one side is all over the place flip the dipstick and read the other side
    1
  20900. Hi! I will have to look into this one to get you an answer
    1
  20901. You can do either but I would consider driving it to get everything moving since you’re not driving it much
    1
  20902. Amen! Always!
    1
  20903. Well something has to be out for tires to wear like this. I would get Toyota in the loop and see if they can help.
    1
  20904. Hi! I’d need to see the alignment sheet but some parts might need to be replaced if things are bent. Has the car been in an accident?
    1
  20905. Hi! I would go back and ask them to correct the level. They’ll drain the excess
    1
  20906. Honestly I wouldn’t have. It doesn’t really make much of a difference
    1
  20907. That’s a sharp looking one! And with good maintenance you’ll have it for 20 years
    1
  20908. Hi! Replacing the one tire should be ok. Usually when the 3 tires are almost worn out and you get this situation then I’d say put 4 tires but in your car you’re all good with one tire.
    1
  20909. Sorry man! Maybe search online for Toyota oil funnel maybe you’ll find it locally?
    1
  20910. Yep that’s too high. Less than a dollar is where they’re usually at.
    1
  20911. Hi. I would use the oil recommended for your car. In your case it is full synthetic oil. Also personally I would use a Toyota Filter.
    1
  20912. Thank you for subscribing. The filter wrench no. Is 09228-06500-02
    1
  20913. Hi! Typically any overfilling is not favorable and it’s best not to. However overfilling by less than a 1/2 quart doesn’t put you in any damage or danger zone. However overfilling with a quart or more can
    1
  20914. I would change it every 6 months. If you drive low mileage likely majority of your trips are short trips. If that is the same replace it every 6 months.
    1
  20915. Hi! I would follow the manufacturer recommended interval and pay special attention to special operating conditions.
    1
  20916. Video coming this weekend on this with all details!
    1
  20917. Hi! The dipstick should be seated fully to get an accurate reading. They overfilled the car and I would bring it to their attention so they can correct it
    1
  20918. Hi! I don’t pre fill them on any of my cars.
    1
  20919. Hi! I honestly wouldn’t. Just drive with all 4 windows open and they’ll all get out.
    1
  20920. Hi! Likely you won’t fall under the special operating conditions listed in your maintenance guide. I would check them and if they don’t apply you could go the 10k but even with that if this was my car and actually that’s the kind of mileage I drive I still change it every 5k miles and perhaps save by doing the oil change yourself.
    1
  20921. Hi! Don’t like it honestly. If the valve fails it could cost you an engine.
    1
  20922. 0w16
    1
  20923. Hi! Honestly I wouldn’t bother. The cartridge type filter does the job well and the plastic housing if not overtightened will last the life of the car.
    1
  20924. Hi! I’ve seen it. I personally don’t like it. If the plastic housing of the canister filter is not overtightened it won’t leak or have issues
    1
  20925. Hi! Cars in the rust belt will rust a bit and there’s not much to do. Rust proofing will slow things down and eventually it will happen but you try to prolong it as much as possible.
    1
  20926. Hi! No the wiper inserts are not part of the 2 year free maintenance
    1
  20927. Hi! I would personally change it at 1000 then 5000 then every 5000 miles after that. And I personally use Toyota oil or Mobil 1
    1
  20928. Which model and year can do you have?
    1
  20929. Hi! If it’s a blue one then you’re good they are reusable. You can use a screw driver and tap the side of it and it’ll come out.
    1
  20930. I hear many good things about their oil. Haven’t tried it myself
    1
  20931. Honestly I haven’t tried it. It could work but personally I wouldn’t. For everyone else reading this and wondering. The first number is the plastic housing for the 4 cylinder model and the 2nd number is for a V6 which is an aluminum housing.
    1
  20932. Model and year and a bit more details
    1
  20933. Hi! It works on cars that have the filter up top.
    1
  20934. Hi! I haven’t used it before. I’ll look into it
    1
  20935. Hi! Honestly useless. Just start it normally.
    1
  20936. Hi! I would change it every 60k or 6 years. They say never change it until you have problems then they’ll tell you to change the transmission...
    1
  20937. Hi! I would use good quality full synthetic 0W20 oil.
    1
  20938. Hi! It’s not a specific video to the corolla but the same procedure works and it’s called maintenance mode. Find it in this video https://youtu.be/_lWLMJ_4G24
    1
  20939. I’d say this one is comfortably moving from stage one to stage 2 at this point. The oil that came out of this car was alarming and it has done just over 5k miles since the last oil change. The filter is very dark as well. Oil color is interesting to read. Most oils you drain will look dark but if you shine a light at them you’ll see their true color. Dark brown is about right. This one was flat black.
    1
  20940. Hi Marjan! Good question and good catch! This is a car that I’m working on for the first time and the owner agreed to let me film with their car. This car actually burns oil and after this oil change I’m checking it again after 1200 miles to see how much it burns. I cut it in the video but around 2 quarts came out of the pan out of the 4.4 total capacity.
    1
  20941. Hi! Transmission fluid replacement of it hasn’t been done otherwise just an oil change and a general inspection
    1
  20942. It’s not very hard if you are very handy and have jack and jack stands otherwise take it to a professional. The parts should be less than 150 bucks. Labor shouldn’t be higher than 2 hours
    1
  20943. Hi! So the oil cooler line is very common to leak on these and it’s exactly as you described. The original line is made of rubber and the new one is made of metal. I check the line first it’s very easy to see look between the exhaust manifold and the radiator and you’ll see it. Buy the original updated metal one and replace it and you won’t have this issue again.
    1
  20944. Hi! Do you have anything stuck in where the filter goes? Also is this an original filter o ring?
    1
  20945. $275 to replace the fluid and filter?
    1
  20946. Yes you’d need to drop the pan to replace the filter. Not difficult drain and fluid and remove a bunch of 10mm screws and the filter is there. They’re a bit pricey and I would buy them from a dealership
    1
  20947. Hi! That transmission has a dipstick. So take the transmission drain plug and add the same amount and check with the car running and hot
    1
  20948. Honestly the products that I use is not available for retail sale however I would look into liqui moly products as they have good ratings.
    1
  20949. Hi! I would first start changing the oil every 6 months then run an oil system cleaner and it should help.
    1
  20950. At the dealership you can buy them individually or in packs.
    1
  20951. Hi! I have a video on the fluid replacement for your RAV4 as long as it’s not hybrid find it here https://youtu.be/eRxSu4-4ojo
    1
  20952. Hi! Honestly I don’t like them. I would just stick with the original drain plug
    1
  20953. The quality is good but if he put the 5 bottles and they were quarts that could be too much. I would check the oil level
    1
  20954. Damage on the walls. We already know why there’s low compression.
    1
  20955. Hi! Yes they have a VIN plate on their engines
    1
  20956. At this point they're all band aids, the damage is already done.
    1
  20957. This is a car that usually ends up either sold for parts of which it has many good ones. or a small shady dealership that won't disclose or inspect what's up with the car unfortunately.
    1
  20958. At this point the cylinder wall is destroyed. Damage is already done
    1
  20959. 2011
    1
  20960. Typically no. It’s normal for it to have debris.
    1
  20961. Removing the EFI fuse is sufficient. on some models though you can't crank the car with the efi fuse removed.
    1
  20962. Hi! I would be. email me with the subject Chicago Service Request.
    1
  20963. Hi! Rust is normal in this part of the country, basically every car past 5 years old will have scary looking rust but nothing compromising safety.
    1
  20964. What is the oil used? If they put really thick oil it could be the cause. Do you know for sure which oil was used viscosity wise?
    1
  20965. Hi! I hope he checked this but are any of the brakes dragging or locking up? Also what model of Michelin tires do you have?
    1
  20966. Hi! I would replace the pistons and rings with updated ones. A used engine might have the same issue
    1
  20967. Hi! It doesn’t
    1
  20968. Hi! Yes we did a visualization. If you check the whole stroke or better yet pull the head off and hand inspect it along with the rings you’ll find the exact culprit
    1
  20969. Hi! The link is in the description of this video
    1
  20970. Hi! It doesn’t but if they’re driven short distances often it’s the same thing
    1
  20971. Honestly with these issues prevention is best and doing timely and informed oil change intervals are enough with toyota engines.
    1
  20972. Hi Russell, I totally understand your point of view which makes total sense and have logic to it. However the issue with this car is this. You replace the engine but everything attached to it and the rest of the car is 20 years old. They’ve spent 7k today for the engine then 2 weeks later the transmission goes, then the brake lines, then the Alternator, then the starter then the suspension is already falling apart and needs a complete overhaul. It just never ends and you’ll end up spending a small fortune in a matter of a year and you still have an old car that’s worth 3000. As a professional I have to give sound advice that this car will nickel and dime you into a new car. Because otherwise people tend to have the mentality that after spending 7k on the car, now it’s perfect and nothing will happen to it in the next 100k. That’s just how things work in the auto industry.
    1
  20973. Drain it when it’s unfrozen and add appropriate fluid that won’t freeze
    1
  20974. Hi. Is the fluid frozen? do you hear the motor running?
    1
  20975. Hi! Leak down helps when you have low compression and no oil consumption.
    1
  20976. I would go with 5k or 6 months on Toyota engines.
    1
  20977. Hi James! Don’t know the exact reason for not having the hilux here. The closest thing is the Tacoma.
    1
  20978. Honestly a small block Chevy is hardly a new engine, actually the thing is ancient and no where near as technologically advanced as the newer engines. Read through the comments, many folks with this engine with well over 200k and don’t have any issues. It’s all about maintenance.
    1
  20979. Hi. That’s the case with most new cars not just toyota. If you take care of the maintenance the block will not wear like this
    1
  20980. Hi! Oil cleaner will not fix wear on the cylinder wall. If it was not there then the oil cleaner could help this engine
    1
  20981. Hi! They’re very good if maintained well
    1
  20982. Hi! Keep the maintenance! Good quality oil and filter every 5k miles or 6 months
    1
  20983. Hi! Did you run the car for a very short period of time before taking this video? If not what issues do you have with it
    1
  20984. Hi! 2.5L 2AR-FE is notorious for oil consumption when oil changes are not done on time. the 2AZ-FE was covered by the campaign which had an actual issue and no matter what you did to it, it still burned oil. The 2AR however can last a very long time without burning oil as long as you change the oil frequently
    1
  20985. 2007-2009 had an issue. 2010-2017 has the 2AR engine like the one in the video and if you change the oil on time, you'll have that engine for a very long time without burning a drop.
    1
  20986. Hi! The link is in the description
    1
  20987. Hi! Yes every 6 moths is ideal
    1
  20988. It does have a decent amount of carbon on the valves. hard to tell on video but once you get the valve out, it actually has a lot of build up.
    1
  20989. Hi! Please always change the oil and most importantly the filter regardless of how much oil you add
    1
  20990. The right side axle and bracket. Seized and won’t come out. Thermostat, spark plugs, spark plug wires, exhaust parts, engine mounts, knock sensors, knock sensor wires, drive belts and more odds and ends
    1
  20991. Yes they did! It's already done and gone and the bill actually went up by a lot from things that broke.
    1
  20992. Hi! It’s a blue point light made by snap on
    1
  20993. Hi! Honestly I would leave it alone at this point
    1
  20994. Hi! Possibly an issue with the smart TV. Not really my area of expertise but hope someone is and can help.
    1
  20995. Actually this car was relatively taken care of but at 10k oil change intervals and likely over a year interval.
    1
  20996. Hi! Toyota does have a website for the official manual online. techinfo.toyota.com
    1
  20997. Hi! Verify that it’s flipping to the 2nd camera.
    1
  20998. Hi! I disagree. I would just change it every 5k instead of using harsh chemicals to do the cleaning after the fact
    1
  20999. That's the 2.7L in the highlander, sienna and 1st gen venza 4 cylinder
    1
  21000. Not worth it honestly. Before doing that I would drive it until this one is done then get a used engine. but still not worth it.
    1
  21001. Hi! Yes you can. Email with the subject Chicago service request
    1
  21002. Hi! It all depends on the service history. The newer 2.5 if taken care of is a good engine. The v6 is great but can get expensive as it ages to fix with leaks
    1
  21003. Hi! I would definitely get it checked out by the dealership. Not likely at this age and mileage to have any issues but wouldn’t hurt to double check
    1
  21004. We don’t have the 0w8 yet. Once it makes it’s way here we’ll find out
    1
  21005. It's wear into the cylinder and sometimes they wear so much you can see past the coating. Hard to see it on camera but i've seen many of them directly with head out and pistons out, it looks like a worn down area in the cylinder wall that you can feel with your finger.
    1
  21006. Hi! I would replace the filter as well every 6 months.
    1
  21007. Hi! Search for compression tester at snapon.com
    1
  21008. Hi! Likely not if the car has low mileage now
    1
  21009. If they give you a written warranty guaranteeing your engine then sure why not.
    1
  21010. Hi! I have a similar box at woek
    1
  21011. Hi! On the next oil change.
    1
  21012. Hi! It’s in the description of this video
    1
  21013. Hi! Anything is possible with heavy modifications. But as a basic bolt on it’s not possible as the frame is different
    1
  21014. They wanted to drive it until the wheels fall off. they want to get 200k out of it then they're ok junking it. I asked them to change the oil every 3k\3 months and keep an eye on the oil level.
    1
  21015. If you're going to do it at 7500 might as well play it safe at 5000
    1
  21016. Hi! I haven’t gotten concerns over the gas mileage of the sienna. And it’s 21mm for the lug nuts
    1
  21017. Hi! Yes that is the root cause and unfortunately this engine already got really bad and started misfiring badly
    1
  21018. I would change it around 3000-5000 miles.
    1
  21019. Just checked the link. It’s the same camera.
    1
  21020. video filming soon on that
    1
  21021. Ok that’s why. You’ll want to take it on the highway and floor it a few times to clean things up or run an induction cleaning service
    1
  21022. Hi! Typically no. Is this car typically driven on highways or city only?
    1
  21023. Hi! I would play it safe with 5k intervals
    1
  21024. Hi! Link for that one in the description of the video
    1
  21025. Hi! If you have egr issues or oil burning then it could help otherwise not really
    1
  21026. Many reasons. Some of them is a piece of carbon that broke off and got stuck. Or sometimes the ring is seized
    1
  21027. If it has good service history and passes an inspection then sure they are good cars.
    1
  21028. Hi! Thank you for watching! We’ve corrected things with the camera just a few videos left that are already recorded
    1
  21029. The passenger and drivers side are different
    1
  21030. Yes I do. Search car care nut truck sealed transmission on YouTube
    1
  21031. Hi! It should be somewhat similar to this seat and no special tools for the seal
    1
  21032. Hi! I haven’t done a video on that specific one yet
    1
  21033. Interior cleaner or leather cleaner
    1
  21034. They are plug and play except the wiring for the seat heaters would need to be custom
    1
  21035. Hi! This one is hard without diagnosis. You’ll want to find what’s causing the squeak first
    1
  21036. Hi! This is going to sound odd but put a charger on the car put the parking brake on then turn the key on and put the car in reverse for up to 30 minutes first before anything. We’ve had some success with this rebooting the radios and they work after that. If not aftermarket radio for sure in this case
    1
  21037. You can install covers just make sure they are air bag compatible
    1
  21038. I don’t wash the cars before videos. Most owners really take care of their cars and they’re usually clean
    1
  21039. Hi! While I don’t have a specific and accurate answer to that but very likely at this point that this will roll into 2023. If you are not in a hurry to replace your car I would order one but shop around for MSRP at the most price wise
    1
  21040. Hi! I’d need to look up the exact specs as there are 2 battery options
    1
  21041. Not. Common problems
    1
  21042. If the battery is good there might be a parasitic draw if this happens overnight
    1
  21043. Hi! Atkinson cycle. They purposefully did that to have the engine create less emissions since it has the help of the hybrid systems motors
    1
  21044. Hi! It’s a nice SUV that takes a lot of the technology from the original 2016 Prius and implements it very well
    1
  21045. Hi! I don’t have much experience with Hondas to compare them in a technical video
    1
  21046. Hi! The Toyota Corolla hybrid
    1
  21047. Hi! I did in this series https://youtu.be/vjRGj2mSQZA
    1
  21048. Hi! Which model?
    1
  21049. Hi! Try vleds.com
    1
  21050. Hi! They can’t be added later! I would either look at another one or just know that it’s not something that can be added
    1
  21051. Hi! Not on the other models
    1
  21052. Hi! Not a diy or even a conventional shop job. Needs a scan tool to open all the valves and correctly charge the system
    1
  21053. Hi! I would take it back. It could be many things hard for me to tell without getting codes.
    1
  21054. Hi! It doesn’t as the Prius prime doesn’t use the refrigerant to cool the battery
    1
  21055. You’re good to run it in EV mode in very high heat. The battery cooling is very efficient if it’s working properly
    1
  21056. Probably not :-)
    1
  21057. No it only cools the battery. The heater for the battery is an electric one
    1
  21058. No reports of issues on my side yet. They’ll need to look into it at the dealership
    1
  21059. Hi. The camshaft spins at half the speed of the crankshaft. It takes the crankshaft 720 degrees of rotation to complete one full power cycle while it takes the camshaft 360 degrees to complete the same cycle. So the camshaft spins at half the speed of the crankshaft.
    1
  21060. Hi! If your mechanic is sure there’s no leaks on the exhaust and the code is P0138 or P0606 or P0607 replace the front air fuel ratio sensor
    1
  21061. Thank you for watching Walter and best wishes with your class! And I am working on releasing another part in this series! Catch up because the last part is going to be good!
    1
  21062. In Toyota land things are reliable because even with the complications Toyota is always slow to adapt new things to make sure they work out the issues before the tech is in the consumers hands
    1
  21063. Hi! That’s actually a rare one on that engine. If the engine is clean inside and has been maintained then it’s likely valve guide seals
    1
  21064. The 5sfe had an iron block that’s the difference. The newer engines have an aluminum block with a thin sleeve
    1
  21065. That’s not bad. Toyota engines are made well, however with neglect they don’t do well. Many car manufacturers have a non serviceable block like Toyota. It really takes a a lot of neglect to get it to a point where the cylinder wall is damaged though. I have to say that.
    1
  21066. Hi! It’s a 2021 Toyota Venza hybrid
    1
  21067. Dealership in the Chicago area. Email for details
    1
  21068. While I am not an expert on Mazda the Mazda 6 seems like a good car from what I hear about it
    1
  21069. Hi! I will admit with honesty that I am not the best person to answer this. I don’t like Kia and Hyundai and have many questions about their long term reliability.
    1
  21070. Hi. 2021 Toyota Venza hybrid
    1
  21071. Hi! They are related to the engine codes. Don’t worry everything is fine.
    1
  21072. If you want to become a Toyota mechanic that is the correct path.
    1
  21073. Then likely that it’s a failed catalytic converter at this point. The oil consumption does contribute to it largely.
    1
  21074. Any exhaust leaks?
    1
  21075. Hi! The catalytic converters failure could be related to the oil consumption. First thing is to erase the code and see how long it takes to come back. If the weather is cold and the catalytic converter is failing not failed it would be affected.
    1
  21076. Hi! The break in process is the same for both. Take it easy the first 500-1000 miles
    1
  21077. Hi! Underneath the back seat towards the passenger side
    1
  21078. Hi! Your car does have 3 filters underneath the back seat. They are mesh filters but they do a good job keeping debris out
    1
  21079. Hi! Email is a bit backed up at the moment if you can write it here as a comment if not then send it to thecarcarenut@gmail.com
    1
  21080. Hi! At that speed you should be good
    1
  21081. Hi! You’ll be in high 30s low 40s. That’s what I got with mine on a long highway commute. It will drop in cold weather to mid to low 30s
    1
  21082. Hi! Have you seen a completely dead hybrid battery before where it has zero volts across all cells?
    1
  21083. Hi! If it’s within the towing capacity it should be good. Depends on the trim you get
    1
  21084. Hi! It’s not good for any car but regular gasoline cars will suffer the least
    1
  21085. Hi! Unfortunately this is not possible in the RAV4s
    1
  21086. Hi! Every 80-90k kms
    1
  21087. Hi! Yes they are great for road trips
    1
  21088. Hi! The car needs to be inspected to know if it’s in good shape or not
    1
  21089. Hi! Yes the starter and battery are different on cars with stop start technology. Video planned and filming soon on that with all information
    1
  21090. Hi! It has to do with the transmission. The extra power comes from the electric motor which is bigger on the highlander
    1
  21091. Hi! The 2022 Camry will have dual injection. The 1.8L corolla hybrid is port only
    1
  21092. Hi! It should be ok
    1
  21093. Hi! It could be a bent wheel or excessive road force. If both are good then I’d look into struts
    1
  21094. Hi! It’s not recommended to do that honestly.
    1
  21095. No you can’t. It’s an emissions device
    1
  21096. Cold weather affects gas mileage and doesn’t affect the lifespan of your hybrid unless you store it for over a month regularly in very cold weather
    1
  21097. Hi! There’s no accurate way to tell honestly
    1
  21098. Hi! Depends on how you use your car. Some as early as every 5k miles some go .50,-60k miles without needing cleaning
    1
  21099. Hi! It shouldn’t be an issue as long as you use AC at all times in really hot days
    1
  21100. Hi! Yes there’s been a few cases. Does it work still or I stopped?
    1
  21101. Hi! Hard to tell if they postponed things as it’s changing every other day.
    1
  21102. Hi! Some of these gauges could use a calibration which the dealership can do
    1
  21103. Hi! A few things to check. Tire pressure and rear brakes for seizing. Did you own it since new?
    1
  21104. Hi! Many cars in the past didn’t have them and they had a warning light for overheating instead
    1
  21105. Hi! They’re identical cars underneath. Go with the one that fits your budget and needs. By the way they’re both very good hybrids to buy
    1
  21106. Hi! Nothing specific on
    1
  21107. Hi! It does. Hybrid batteries never die completely they usually get weak so it’s preserved by the computer to allow reverse
    1
  21108. Likely it hasn’t been 6 months so I wouldn’t change until it has been
    1
  21109. Hi! Which model?
    1
  21110. Hi! Fluid film works well
    1
  21111. Hi! Nothing yet
    1
  21112. Hi! The 2022 already has filters from the factory that need service. It’s an actual paper filter similar to like an engine air filter
    1
  21113. Hi! The live stream this week had an issue and I started another one. Next week Saturday at 7pm central time we should have another one
    1
  21114. Hi! The radio is ok but not the best honestly. And the steering can be wrapped with leather
    1
  21115. Hi! You can but try to cycle the engine on and run it if your driving conditions actually allow for 100% ev
    1
  21116. Hard to tell if we’ll see them. I’ll check on this one actually.
    1
  21117. Hi! s mode is basically a manually controlled B mode mimicking a manual transmission
    1
  21118. Hi! That wouldn’t hurt but updating the software and using the updated part should prevent it from Happening again
    1
  21119. Hi! Unfortunately I am in the Chicago area.
    1
  21120. Possibly on the rattle video.
    1
  21121. Hi! Usually no unless it has misfire codes.
    1
  21122. Somewhat expensive yes
    1
  21123. Hi! No it doesn’t have one
    1
  21124. Around 150k
    1
  21125. Hi! This issue can affect the es300h as well and is diagnosed the same way.
    1
  21126. Possibly. I would replace the spark plugs as well
    1
  21127. Hi! Did they do the update at the time of replacement? What’s the car doing? Have codes or misfires?
    1
  21128. You could.
    1
  21129. Hi! It doesn’t have one.
    1
  21130. It could but an oil cleaning solution helps more
    1
  21131. Hi! You can either try to reach it through the wheel well which is difficult unless you’ve done it before or just remove the intake manifold which is what I’d do
    1
  21132. Hi! Sorry I don’t know any in your area
    1
  21133. Hi! It doesn’t have an egr system.
    1
  21134. Prius transmission?
    1
  21135. Hi! Are they carboned up?
    1
  21136. Hi! Yes it’s possible. Remove the one pipe that’s easy to remove to see how everything looks
    1
  21137. Hi! Your sienna doesn’t have an EGR system. Only certain models do not all modern engines
    1
  21138. Hi! Do you drive highway often? Or most of your diving is local with a lot of short trips?
    1
  21139. Hi! Computer software update.
    1
  21140. Hi! It depends what the car needs after an inspection. I am in the Chicago area
    1
  21141. There’s another issue while rare on this generation Prius that would cause vibration with or without the engine running. By having the engine switch on and off you’ll be able to accurately isolate if this is not an engine on related issue or noy
    1
  21142. Hi! The 4 cylinder is easier to work on for sure but is also much more underpowered than the v6
    1
  21143. Hi! If you get a clone version it might be worth it because the official one is too expensive to make sense for diy
    1
  21144. Hi! I disconnected the egr on the other side so the soot fell into the towel not in the exhaust. Unless you have an issue with the egr I wouldn’t do anything with it honestly. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it. The A25A have a very similar design with promises of improvement which we’ll find out over time. The 2016 Prius has no issues as of yet. The Mercedes video is done just gotta finish a few things and you’ll see it posted😀
    1
  21145. Hi! If you have no issues with noise you should be good just use the correct oil filter
    1
  21146. Thank you Anthony! Behind on the store front! Gotta make time for some merch
    1
  21147. Hi! Software updates on cars work differently. Unless there’s a concern, you don’t do an update.
    1
  21148. Could be engine mounts on this one
    1
  21149. Hi! The 1st gen Scion xB doesn’t have egr
    1
  21150. Jay I’d have to look into it as I don’t remember that right off the top of my head. Reply to this comment and I’ll get back to you.
    1
  21151. Hi! The email is really getting backed up. Post your questions as comments here and I’ll get back to you.
    1
  21152. Good maintenance and good quality fuel helps
    1
  21153. Hi! Don’t have the part number handy at the moment. Inspect the intake manifold and the cooler
    1
  21154. There’s no direct evidence that suggests that the egr causes issues with the engine.
    1
  21155. Labor is around 4 hours. Parts prices can be looked up on parts.Toyota.com
    1
  21156. Hi! No aware of an update for your 4Runner
    1
  21157. Hi! For the update you’ll want to head over to techinfo.Toyota.com get a day subscription and search for the original TSB for p0401 and find it. In that document are links to download the update. I would hesitate to update it using a cloned scan tool as you could fry the ecu so try that at your own risk. On the battery you will rarely if ever catch the voltages off. If memory serves right the fluctuation could be 0.3V for less than a second and it will set a code. It will need a battery. Looking at static voltages won’t yield results as it happens too fast for the scan tool to catch it
    1
  21158. Hi! I don’t have a video for the software update yet
    1
  21159. Hi my brother! The magic of time lapse. Wish we can actually make the day go this fast sometimes
    1
  21160. Hi! Pressure test the engine cooling system and bore scope cylinder two and three. See if you notice drops of coolant from the head gasket.
    1
  21161. Good idea! This one has around 150k miles
    1
  21162. As needed and try not to pass 30k miles with them or 10k miles on the cabin filter if you plan to use the charcoal filter that these come with
    1
  21163. Hi! Starting with 2003 they have a chain on the V6 2003-2009 v8s still had a timing belt
    1
  21164. Not yet!
    1
  21165. Honestly any Toyota with a 4.7L is good!
    1
  21166. It’s a great engine IN the 4runner. In the tundra is feels a bit underpowered because of the size of the tundra
    1
  21167. Hi! Honestly if it’s not smoking or really leaking bad I would clean it and see how long it takes. Labor is around 12-14 hours and parts are not much.
    1
  21168. Hi! Not really. That engine was rock solid
    1
  21169. You could but it would be trial and error as the aftermarket one could be better or worse
    1
  21170. Hi! Very well said! I think the 2021 tundra has ancient stuff where needed and has some pretty cool new tech where needed as well! On your sons Lexus I would use the A5 which is the same as the 4Runner. The part no. Is 04152-YZZA5
    1
  21171. Hi! Some of the issues are the same. Mainly the engine are the same
    1
  21172. Hi! I don’t have one on the tundra but soon will have
    1
  21173. It’s part of the fuse block under the drivers side dash
    1
  21174. Hi! It’s either the actuators or the body ecu. It’s more common that the actuators are acting up but you’d want to catch it when it won’t work and check power and ground. If it doesn’t have any then it’s the body ecu
    1
  21175. Hi! A similar video for Tacoma’s is coming this Saturday
    1
  21176. Hi! It’s never too late! Especially for one winter. Maybe consider a good power wash for the frame then undercoating.
    1
  21177. I would have a good mechanic do this. It does require a specific procedure to check the fluid level
    1
  21178. Hi! You can change it at this mileage. Just a drain and fill
    1
  21179. The tundra is designed in the USA and proudly built in Texas. Sounds like a truck that was designed and made by hard working Americans.
    1
  21180. Hi and thank you for your comment. I wouldn’t worry honestly speaking. I am in the Chicago area as well and we all know how our cars rust and it’s the norm. Taking extra care to wash off the salt as much as possible is a very good idea. Take care of your truck with maintenance and you’re already on your way to having this thing for a long time without major issues. I listed all their issues expanding a long year range. However if there was ever a similar detailed video from real world experience to competitors trucks that video would be a few hours long.
    1
  21181. Hi! There are many rustproofing products however more important than the product is the company behind it. I would consult your dealership and shop around
    1
  21182. Hi! It depends what it’s doing. Does it make any noise at all? Or nothing?
    1
  21183. Hi! Yes there’s an issue with the RAV4 front timing cover leaking oil.
    1
  21184. Hi! I still would change the transmission fluid
    1
  21185. Hi paul! So far no issues with the lack of the external transmission cooler. Just to clarify things, the transmission does have a liquid cooler just not an additional air cooler.
    1
  21186. Hi! Fluid film is one that’s used and seem to work well
    1
  21187. Some of them were addressed
    1
  21188. Amen! Thank you for watching my brother! Hope you and your family are doing well.
    1
  21189. I agree with you completely! You can’t expect great gas mileage from a big truck like the tundra and personally I’d rather have a v8 with terrible gas mileage than a v6 twin turbo. A hybrid V8 would be cool to get you both the v8 and slightly better gas mileage
    1
  21190. Hi! I would need to hear it but a click can be normal. Have the dealership take a look but record a video of the sound so they can hear it
    1
  21191. I can! Once I get one in the shop!
    1
  21192. We’ll have to wait to find out. Likely not
    1
  21193. Hi! I would focus on service history above all. All years are good just get one with full service history and no or very little rust
    1
  21194. And I wouldn’t blame you for doing that. Shame on the dealership for doing this. Congratulations for your new truck.
    1
  21195. Hi Ron! Thank you for watching! The exact same video for the Tacoma is coming out this Saturday.
    1
  21196. Hi! I would shop online for a used engine. Places like LKQ
    1
  21197. That’s an issue with the knob itself. Either find a radio shop to replace the fader behind the knob or replace the radio
    1
  21198. Hi! Today’s market is anything but normal. So it’s really hard to tell at this point. This video was made before this high market started
    1
  21199. Hi! Yes it’s the same but I haven’t seen cam towers leaking on land cruisers yet
    1
  21200. Sorry I thought you had a Tacoma. Your tundra should have them? It doesn’t? Also on oil on the spark plugs it’s usually the spark plug tubes that leak and they need to be resealed.
    1
  21201. Condenser fan
    1
  21202. Hi! These are good without air ride is better as they are eventually will have issues and get expensive. Check for oil leaks on the engine and make sure the maintenance has been kept good
    1
  21203. https://youtu.be/bi_AeB335Yo for 2010-2021
    1
  21204. Not really. Not common at all with these
    1
  21205. Hi! Honestly since I don’t really know what’s the plan with the 2022 I would tell my friend wait if you can to see what’s what and then we’ll have a better idea if you should buy it or wait. Rule of thumb is to always wait at least 6 months and not buy the very first production units. If there are initial issues the very first batch will be guaranteed to have them
    1
  21206. Hi! I don’t have much information on my side either as they are pretty rare. Is it the TRD one or aftermarket?
    1
  21207. Hi! I would try to isolate which side it’s coming from and remove the valve cover to inspect both
    1
  21208. Interesting. I haven’t seen one fail. I guess this one could be a random occurrence. If anyone reads this that had this issue please comment so I know if this is a problem pattern or a single occurrence. What was the mileage and year?
    1
  21209. Hi! The hydraulic lifter issue doesn’t really require adding lighter oil. Just good oil change schedule
    1
  21210. Hi! At this mileage I would leave the transmission alone. They are not sealed, they just don’t have a dipstick. And those that say problems start if you change the fluid on time either use incorrect fluid or don’t check the level right. But at high mileage I would leave it alone because you could actually cause more harm than good at this point. The most I would do is check the fluid level and make sure it’s full and take a small sample to see how it looks. If it doesn’t smell burned then this transmission was not abused or driven hard and otherwise is healthy. The fluid will not be clean or course but if it’s not burned I wouldn’t be concerned
    1
  21211. Hi! Hard to find them in that price range but perhaps an older one without rust?
    1
  21212. Hi! If it’s a good kit then it’s not a bad idea. Many have done it and I’ve seen a few in the shop
    1
  21213. Could be bent hubs or run out. This one will need more in person diagnosis
    1
  21214. Hi! Was the issue there before the tire replacement? Does it change with braking?
    1
  21215. Hi! I would need to see it to know but I would bring it up to the dealerships attention
    1
  21216. Hi! Watch your trans temps. If you consistently see it past 250 I would install one
    1
  21217. Hi! Thank you for watching! I haven’t seen a timing chain tensioner going out on tundras but have heard of it. Really don’t have much information as I haven’t seen it in person
    1
  21218. Tundras are made in Texas, USA
    1
  21219. Hi! I would change them every 30k miles
    1
  21220. There’s a very specific part number that needs to be used OEM to fix the belt noise from the tensioner
    1
  21221. Hi! Not likely unless there’s modifications. I would start with basics like fuses and switches
    1
  21222. Hi! Interesting I haven’t seen this one yet. How much water got into the transmission?
    1
  21223. Thank you for watching Trevor! I have many similar videos on many Toyota models browse through the channel playlists
    1
  21224. Hi! It’s a completely different engine than the Tacoma
    1
  21225. Hi Jeff! The one in the video was a new truck but if I get one in the shop that has the issue I’ll film it. On the affected ones after you drive it and it makes the noise when you remove the rotor you’ll see a shiny rubbing mark on the backing plate. That’s what you want to push in with the screwdriver.
    1
  21226. Hi Clark. This video is the worst case scenario and one really meant mainly for buying used ones. You bought a solid truck. Keep up the maintenance and most if not all of the issues won’t apply.
    1
  21227. Likely 12-15 hours of labor plus parts. If it’s a minor leak I’d not reseal it now
    1
  21228. Hi! Doing the cam towers is not a simple job. Have you done similar work before? You’ll need to remove the front timing cover, timing chains and cams
    1
  21229. Hi! They are good just make sure it’s a well taken care of example and watch for rust if it’s a rust belt cat
    1
  21230. The pump part itself has been updated construction wise. However if you have no issues I’d just keep going and not worry about it
    1
  21231. Hi! Honestly if the pump is the most updated version and the software is updated you won’t have issues with it again. Also it could cause an emissions failure if it’s bypassed.
    1
  21232. Hi! 2007-2021 drive pretty similar. The 2022 is not out yet
    1
  21233. Hi! I don’t know of a fix for that and it seems like a normal characteristic of the truck
    1
  21234. Honestly that is one that many complain about and if it’s the clunk I’m thinking about it can be a normal condition
    1
  21235. Hi! I would leave the transmission fluid alone at this point however I would address the coolant and spark plugs
    1
  21236. Hi Charles. I’m sorry if my video made you feel this way. However I’d like to say I listed everything that’s possible for these trucks. Every car no matter how good it’s made will have some issues and that’s normal. The main thing is keeping up the maintenance. Follow good maintenance habits and you’ll have this truck for a very long time without issues.
    1
  21237. Not those. The older ones did
    1
  21238. This is happening because of the shortage. If you can wait I would

  21240. Some of it applies to the sequoia
    1
  21241. Hi! Honestly they are both equally reliable. Honestly go with what suits your needs
    1
  21242. Hi! I personally can’t confirm if you’ll get more MPG or power as I haven’t tried it myself.
    1
  21243. Hi! You could go with a bigger size tire. It will affect the truck negatively having this extra weight but mostly in the fuel economy department
    1
  21244. Hi! I would just drain and fill honestly. And you can safely wait until 100k kms
    1
  21245. I wouldn’t worry about the starter for some time. If it ever goes out replace it and move on. It’s an expense but the truck is worth it
    1
  21246. Hi Anthony. I have heard of this issue but haven’t seen it in person. The reserve is usually around 3 gallons even with the tundra having a larger fuel tank it can be around 5 but 10 is a bit much. If the dealership is no help contact Toyota directly.
    1
  21247. Some of the items do. Some don’t. Like the engine oil leak does apply to the sequoia as well.
    1
  21248. I work at a dealership so it’s random but as often as at least 2-3 times a week
    1
  21249. The covers help a bit but they also tend to rot because they collect salt if they’re not washed.
    1
  21250. Hi! You’re welcome to leave your question here to get the fastest reply. Otherwise send me an email but it will take me sometime to get back to you.
    1
  21251. Hi! The clunk is from the driveshaft and if it’s the one I’m thinking of it’s normal for these trucks
    1
  21252. Hi! I specialize in Toyota and wouldn’t have the same experience with Ford and ram.
    1
  21253. Thank you for your comment. Would you mind elaborating further?
    1
  21254. Coming up this saturday
    1
  21255. Hi! I’d say yes. No need to worry.
    1
  21256. Hi! Did they road force balance the tires?
    1
  21257. Nothing is confirmed at this point however the most likely engine choice is a twin turbo V6
    1
  21258. Hi! Those lights are add one and both original. Originally the tundra doesn’t come equipped with these. and the wiring can vary. Best to look under the seat first for the wiring of the power seat
    1
  21259. I wouldn’t resurface rotors on the big tundra! Usually is a guaranteed come back when they are resurfaced.
    1
  21260. It’s the same as the rest. Honestly it’s not great at all
    1
  21261. I can! They really have very few issues and are somewhat rare to see in my area.
    1
  21262. I would have the dealership take a look. Perhaps they need to recharge and add or drain some oil
    1
  21263. Not on the tundra
    1
  21264. That truck is a great one! Only issues with these were rust and if it’s a California one then it should be good
    1
  21265. I would take it back to the dealership. You paid a small fortune to buy the truck let them deal with it. All they need to do is adjust the parking brake in the rear rotor
    1
  21266. Hi! Thank you for watching my video! Here’s the link to the Tacoma video https://youtu.be/b6tRAQ_r0Ms
    1
  21267. Thank you! I am in the Chicago area
    1
  21268. Hi! That clunk is a normal characteristic of the tundra. Many complain about it and I hear you. But they all do that.
    1
  21269. Anything aftermarket like a remote starter?
    1
  21270. If it’s not rusty then yes I’d consider it
    1
  21271. Hi! Here’s the 4Runner video https://youtu.be/bi_AeB335Yo
    1
  21272. Hi! No known issues with the fuel tank. How low does the gas get when you fill it?
    1
  21273. That is one that came up but then we never heard anything about it. Many trucks do that noise at low mileage and high mileage so I’m assuming it’s a normal characteristic of the truck
    1
  21274. Hi! Does e AC light flash?
    1
  21275. Hi! Try not to use large wires to connect to the small communications wires
    1
  21276. Hi! Those were a bit different and not as sensitive like the later ones. The 1st generation sequoia is on the list once I get one
    1
  21277. Hi! It’s still the same.
    1
  21278. Hi! If it’s leaking on the exhaust manifold and smoking I would get it fixed otherwise you have time. Cost will vary based on hourly rate
    1
  21279. Is it isolated to one side of the engine or random?
    1
  21280. Hi! The noise when cold is normal for these. You’ll hear it when it’s new and when it has 300k miles
    1
  21281. Hi! That is normal for these. It’s the drivetrain flexing back
    1
  21282. Hi’ still see them here and there
    1
  21283. Thank you for watching my brother!
    1
  21284. Hi! Possibly high resistance at the ignition switch
    1
  21285. Those seem to not have them
    1
  21286. Hi! It could be but I would still check the rear rotors as they’re common to cause noises
    1
  21287. Hi! Some of the issues apply yes
    1
  21288. Hi! That’s a good year! Keep up the maintenance!
    1
  21289. Hi! Dealership if it’s a good one but just know that the dealership will likely use someone outside so if you get to know who they use and use them directly you could save a bit
    1
  21290. Some of them do.
    1
  21291. Hi! Video planned for that topic hopefully soon
    1
  21292. I would try it but make sure you’re at home in case.
    1
  21293. Yep! Many rusty frames here. I posted a few bad frame pictures on my Instagram
    1
  21294. Illinois
    1
  21295. I’ve seen one frame replaced and many that look very ugly that I wouldn’t be surprised if they need replacement soon
    1
  21296. It is regarding the timing but it could be minor where it doesn’t pick it up
    1
  21297. Hi jay. I haven’t run across it before. What year?
    1
  21298. Hi! So Toyota doesn’t have a kit for transmissions that didn’t have them from the factory. Models that did have them some had a cooler inside the radiator which they still do but it’s mounted on the transmission and some had an external one. Aftermarket installation won’t void your warranty unless there’s an issue with the transmission.
    1
  21299. Hi! I would get the transmission fluid level checked and if it’s good reset the transmission memory.
    1
  21300. Hi! I personally recommend flushes with a machine otherwise a drain and fill is safer.
    1
  21301. Hi! If it has good service history it should be an ok buy. A bit underpowered for the size of the truck
    1
  21302. I honestly don’t have experience with other brands. The tundra is awesome if you find a good one
    1
  21303. Hi! That’s normal. The fan initially will spin high until the clutch slows its speed down then you won’t hear it. Nothing to worry about.
    1
  21304. Hi! No fix that I know of. It typically doesn’t happen with good maintenance and normal regular use.
    1
  21305. Hi Derek! The computer has a small calculation that it uses to figure out if it’s flex fuel or regular. When it detects that it’s flex fuel it will actually richen the mixture and stay in that mode until the calculation changes then it goes back to normal. If you keep switching back and forth that calculation won’t happen right and it could get stuck in either mode and the engine will run rich or run too lean. Hope this makes sense
    1
  21306. Congratulations!
    1
  21307. If like me you’re in the rust belt there’s no going around it. But prevention works which will save the frame and other components.
    1
  21308. Hi! It’s possible that it’s a belt and tensioner. I would wait for it to make the noise again before doing anything.
    1
  21309. Hi! The issue is a software issue that causes the torque converter to fail. I doubt Lucas would help.
    1
  21310. The water pump and pulley are one unit on your. TC
    1
  21311. Hi! I would clean the throttle body
    1
  21312. I’m sorry this is going on. The fix is expensive but it’s a one time fix and not something that you should worry about happening again. I would contact the selling dealer and talk to them. Also call your local Toyota dealership to inquire about a warranty extension that they have for this issue.
    1
  21313. The flush is ok as long as it’s followed by a transmission fluid level check. If not the level could be off and that’s the issues you have. A drain and fill is safe because you have to check the fluid level afterwards.
    1
  21314. Where is it leaking oil from?
    1
  21315. Hi! Personally I would still change it every 6 months
    1
  21316. As far as I know the 2015s didn’t have a warranty extension however I would ask your local Toyota dealership to confirm.
    1
  21317. Hi! If it is confirmed as a torque converter issue it’s a bit serious honestly
    1
  21318. Hi! The 2021 Camry is a very nice car honestly. I like the small changes they made like adding the safety sense 2.5
    1
  21319. That could also be the case. Does the vibration go away if you press on the gas harder?
    1
  21320. Hi! I would have them check the balance/tires
    1
  21321. Hi! I would look into Toyota hybrids. Namely a Camry or Avalon hybrid. If you like how they drive they’d be a great car for your long commute
    1
  21322. I haven’t seen a single 3.5 2GR-FE with valve guide seal issues. They’re common for oil leaks and water pumps but not oil burning and valve seals. Just check it well for oil leaks.
    1
  21323. The v6 doesn’t have oil consumption issues in those years
    1
  21324. Unfortunately the early 2.5s 2AR-FE had horrible oil consumption issues as well. If the oil was changed early not the 10k mile oil interval then it’s ok but most of them didn’t get early oil changes.
    1
  21325. It’s possible a radiator is leaking or the water pump. Pressure test the system to find your leak
    1
  21326. I see. Which model and year is this?
    1
  21327. No 2013 and 2014 are affected unless they got the software update early
    1
  21328. About the same
    1
  21329. Hi! Check your oil level first. Then you’ll want to see if you have brake fluid in the brake booster
    1
  21330. For the 14.5?
    1
  21331. Kevin Pace that’s good that it was under warranty. Can get pretty expensive if it’s not.
    1
  21332. Hi! Other than maintenance history the hybrid model is good.
    1
  21333. You’re welcome! Best wishes for you and your awesome 14 Camry!
    1
  21334. If your car makes the same noise but shorter time then that’s normal for these engines. I would use 0W20 or 5W20 full synthetic oil. The bad ac smell is caused by a software problem that is not fixed yet. To help the issue make sure you clean the evaporator first then every time you park your car make sure you leave it on fresh air and as you drive try to keep it on fresh air as much as possible. The sunroof clunk has a fix. Pull the headliner down and install shims between the folded metal parts in the front of the sunroof opening. Not DIY but not expensive either.
    1
  21335. The noise that you have is normal but one thing concerns me. It’s taking too long and your oil light is saying on too long. Few questions for you. How long did the car sit there? And what kind of oil and filter are you using?
    1
  21336. Hi! It’s the same engine with the same issues if not taken care of
    1
  21337. Hi! It could be a door issue or a motor issue. It would need to be diagnosed as there’s nothing common or known.
    1
  21338. Hi! Polluting the environment, failing emissions tests and possibly inhaling more harmful gases in case of a minor exhaust leak.
    1
  21339. Hi! If you have the rattle on cold starts on the 2GR you need the variable valve timing gears replaced.
    1
  21340. prezo you’re welcome! Glad I could help
    1
  21341. Teia Talks the update can be done after no problems or really at any time. Just don’t let too much time pass after you replace it
    1
  21342. Teia Talks ask him. If he says it hasn’t been done I highly encourage you to get it done to avoid future issues.
    1
  21343. @Teia Talks is the dealership replacing the torque converter? If not then a software update to the car is needed. You have to make sure this update is done otherwise the new torque converter could fail again in the same way and timeframe.
    1
  21344. That I think is a record! I’ve seen all 4 go out one by one but 2 sets that’s interesting!
    1
  21345. I would take it to the dealership to get an official diagnosis then call Toyota
    1
  21346. Hi! They are very common unless the software is updated before any issues arise then they’re fine
    1
  21347. Hi! The headliner needs to come down. There’s a TSB for this issue
    1
  21348. Hi! TC problems only affected 4 cylinder models
    1
  21349. Ok be careful with any transmission additives, you’d want to verify that it’s the torque converter and get it replaced. You do want to drop the pan also and clean the magnets as well
    1
  21350. Hi! They do for the most part.
    1
  21351. Hi! It means one or more of the tires is low
    1
  21352. Hi! Just one sensor or more?
    1
  21353. Denso tpms sensors are good just make sure they are the right ones for your car.
    1
  21354. It shouldn’t unless they’re significantly larger than the original wheels. It won’t void your warranty unless you have a problem directly caused by the wheels
    1
  21355. Hi! Check your spare tire and you do have a button on the glovebox towards the drivers side
    1
  21356. If the light flashes first then goes solid it means there’s a problem with a sensor. I would ask the tire shop first but likely this will need to be seen by a shop or dealership
    1
  21357. Hi! Likely the system needs resetting. If this doesn’t work then there might be an issue with a sensor either broken or otherwise damaged during installation.
    1
  21358. It’s possible and is definitely worth a shot to try it
    1
  21359. Make sure you are in park and the key is on when you do that. Turn the key on and wait a little bit, then try ot
    1
  21360. It could be that the threshold is set incorrectly so it’s too high and it’s turning on the light when the tires are cold
    1
  21361. Hi! Depends on the size of the wheels. They’re the same bolt pattern and should work
    1
  21362. Hi! Is the tire pressure set correctly?
    1
  21363. I hear you brother. The good thing is you can use it when it works and ignore it when it doesn’t work.
    1
  21364. Hi! You can swap sensors between wheels and upgrading is not a bad idea. A bit rougher ride is about the worst of it
    1
  21365. Hi! Your highlander has an indirect system. Press and hold the button until it flashes 3 times and see. Then I would also check the tires if they are matching. That’s another one that made the indirect system falsely come on
    1
  21366. That is very interesting. Is this a US car? Also I would bring it to the dealerships attention if still under warranty.
    1
  21367. Hi! If you just got tires there’s a possibility that a sensor got damaged during tire installation. Try deflating and reinflating the tire, if it doesn’t work then I suspect a broken sensor or they broke one and replaced it with a clone that’s not working.
    1
  21368. What’s the annoying light?
    1
  21369. Hi! Unfortunately that’s not possible
    1
  21370. That’s correct. Some of the metal ones will have a plastic liner inside so the metal doesn’t touch the stem those are ok as well
    1
  21371. Ok. It should register when you drive it for a while. Let me look into it when I get a chance. Do me a favor and send me an email so I won’t forget.
    1
  21372. It could be an issue with the receiver or the main body ecu. It would need to be diagnosed. Does the remote to lock and unlock the doors work? Also does the light come on then go off when you turn the key on?
    1
  21373. Interesting. Is this a US model?
    1
  21374. Hi! On your Tacoma the spare can have a sensor on some models. Depends on the trim. Check the spare sensor valve stem. If it’s metal then it’s a sensor but if it’s rubber then no sensor
    1
  21375. It likely won’t work. Newer style sensors won’t work with old style sensor cars
    1
  21376. Hi! The motion of the car is enough to wake it up
    1
  21377. It’s suspicious that sensors went out after a tire replacement but benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise. Because if the sensors are not broken and correctly registered it could then be a battery issue
    1
  21378. Hi! You can have the shop remove the tires and show you the sensors. All 4 sensors should match looks wise and the id number printed on them should match the one registered in the car
    1
  21379. Thank you!
    1
  21380. Hi. The spare tires that are at 60 psi that do have a sensor will be programmed to work with the 60 psi pressure. However most of the models that have a sensor for the spare will have a full size tire which has normal pressure
    1
  21381. Hi! Let me ask you a few questions. You said the light is always on, does it flash initially when the car starts then go on? Also when you replaced the sensors did you program them?
    1
  21382. Hi! They are not compatible
    1
  21383. Some of them do give you the exact psi some don’t. Your Prius prime likely doesn’t
    1
  21384. Hi! Honestly I don’t have experience with hilux models as they are not sold in my market.
    1
  21385. Hi! It could need to be reset to reset the thresholds
    1
  21386. Hi! Could be an issue with communication or an intermittent issue
    1
  21387. Hi! They should update after you drive a few miles over 20mph
    1
  21388. That is honestly a programming thing with the car. It should display the pressures on the screen but Toyota didn’t add this part.
    1
  21389. Hi! If you have metal valve stems they are sensors and if you have rubber ones there’s no sensor
    1
  21390. I agree with you 100% There was a time where cars didn’t have this system and everything was fine.
    1
  21391. That works but then the light will be flashing and on.
    1
  21392. It should look exactly the same as the one in the video if equipped.
    1
  21393. If it’s not under the drivers foot well area then it’s not equipped.
    1
  21394. Hi! Depending on the year if it’s equipped it’s usually underneath the drivers foot well by the gas and brake pedals if you look down. If you don’t see one there or in the glovebox then it’s likely not equipped with one. What year Yaris?
    1
  21395. Hi! Yes you can
    1
  21396. Hi! Nothing is needed when replacing tires
    1
  21397. If it’s not underneath the dash in the drivers foot well then it’s not equipped with a button
    1
  21398. Interesting this style then will not learn on its own you have to program them
    1
  21399. What about your original sensors?
    1
  21400. Do you have metal valve stem or rubber?
    1
  21401. No it will have to be programmed again only one set can be programmed
    1
  21402. Don’t over tighten them as they can break
    1
  21403. The sienna takes extra long to reset sometimes. I would drive it up to 20 minutes and see if it goes off
    1
  21404. It’s possible in some cases I’ve seen that.
    1
  21405. Hi! You’d have to get a scan tool that can read the values of the sensors to know which one is not reading by inflating deflating and see which one is not responding
    1
  21406. No need to program
    1
  21407. Hi! The dealership will need to try to activate it. Not something simple to do
    1
  21408. Hi! You could but the valve cap has a seal inside to prevent salt from corroding
    1
  21409. Hi! That Tacoma generation didn’t get the latest tpms sensors so it won’t learn on its own you’d have to program them
    1
  21410. I unfortunately don’t have information on retrofitting a system to a model that doesn’t have one.
    1
  21411. Unfortunately some of the dashes have led bulbs that you can’t disable easily.
    1
  21412. Hi! They act up in the rain because the sensors get water droplets on them and get false readings. Here’s a video on ICS that I made https://youtu.be/3MW8QzVa7cU
    1
  21413. Hi! You’d need a scan tool capable of reading data to show you what the sensors are reading. You then can deflate tire by tire until you find the location of the sensor that’s not responding and then verify the written ID on the sensor vs the one in the scan tool.
    1
  21414. Around 36 in lbs is about average for most.
    1
  21415. Hi! Which model?
    1
  21416. I hear you. I would too
    1
  21417. Check Carista’s website if it can program sensors for your model
    1
  21418. Hi! The Tacoma didn’t get the new Tpms system unfortunately. Still has the old which needs programming
    1
  21419. It might need the threshold reset
    1
  21420. Did you check the spare tire? If your RAV4 has one on the back door it has a sensor. If the light is flashing then never mind it’s likely one of the sensors and you can’t do any harm leaving it the way it is
    1
  21421. 35 inch lbs
    1
  21422. I would wait a little bit until you do that again. They might have done a drain and fill because there are no lines on some models to do a flush.
    1
  21423. That’s a bit on the high side. So it will have a few psi variance but I’d like to keep them around 32-35 cold and when they fully warmed up just under 40
    1
  21424. They should be with in 2 psi accurate. How higher is the one side than actual?
    1
  21425. Possibly a sensor battery is getting week. If it happens again you’ll want to check trouble codes for tpms to see which sensor is the issue
    1
  21426. Hi! Does the light flash when you first start the car?
    1
  21427. Interesting! It should have come on. But it’s a good thing it’s not on I suppose
    1
  21428. Good catch
    1
  21429. Yes. Some models that display the location of the tires after the rotate you’d want to drive over 20mph they will correct on their own
    1
  21430. Hi! On your highlander it’s not possible to display the tire readings like the Camry did on the radio screen unfortunately.
    1
  21431. Hi! Which year Camry do you have?
    1
  21432. Hi! Using a scan tool you’d need to see which one is not reading then physically verify the number matches the scan tool and the sensor
    1
  21433. Yes it can automatically learn
    1
  21434. Hi! It should have the new style sensors
    1
  21435. Usually units cannot be changed from different markets
    1
  21436. Hi! Is this a US model?
    1
  21437. In Toyota direct system that number when the light comes on can be programmed
    1
  21438. You’d need a code reader to erase the codes but first the issue that caused it needs to be fixed
    1
  21439. Hi! Drive it for a day or two and see if it goes off. If the light flashes when you first start the car then goes on you might have a bad sensor.
    1
  21440. Hi! Is the button connected at the back?
    1
  21441. Yes. Your pressure will drop in the winter as the weather gets colder which is normal so you’d want to check the pressures every time there’s more than a 30-40 degree weather change so switching seasons is a good time to check them
    1
  21442. Hi! At 45 I wouldn’t worry about damage to the sensors. Deflate the tires to the recommended spec though
    1
  21443. Hi! I wouldn’t use any transmission oil but the original on any Toyota model.
    1
  21444. Hi! Yes because the air pressure in the tires gets lower when the temperature drops
    1
  21445. Hi! It won’t
    1
  21446. Once you set the tire pressure drive it for a while and it will go off. And there’s no way to switch to the new sensor style from the olds ones
    1
  21447. Yes if your car is equipped with a sensor for the spare tire it would register that threshold as well.
    1
  21448. Honestly jeff replacing 4 sensors is basically the price x4 you save no additional labor replacing all it just 1. I’d replace the bad one and hope for the best. The others could go one day but that day could be a month, a year or even 3. I’d say if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. Finding the bad sensor is usually done with a scan tool. I look at the readings from all sensors and start inflating deflating the tires until I identify the other sensors that are working and find the bad one. Some techs use the ID code reader which gets the information off the sensor. The dead sensor won’t be identified.
    1
  21449. Hi! I would replace only the dead sensor. Personally I would an original sensor so you’d fix it once and be done with it. If it’s aftermarket make sure it has a warranty in case you have issues.
    1
  21450. Thank you for watching my videos! If you buy sensors for your tires you could have the dealership program them or a tire shop that has the tool needed to program them. When you rotate your tires nothing needs to be done they will be ok.
    1
  21451. No it doesn’t unfortunately
    1
  21452. Hi! Thank you for watching my videos! You can buy a normal valve and install it but the light will start flashing and stay on which is not a problem
    1
  21453. Sorry I’m a bit backed up on emails. Planning to sit down tonight and catch up.
    1
  21454. Email me your VIN no.
    1
  21455. Depends on the trim of the Camry. Some you can on the screen some you can’t
    1
  21456. Hi! Try Carista app and first see if it can program sensors for your car
    1
  21457. Not all but most. Which model do you havev
    1
  21458. Unfortunately likely it will need at least one sensor if not more. I wouldn’t be in a hurry to fix it honestly as it doesn’t effect the car at all.
    1
  21459. Is the light flashing when you first start the car?
    1
  21460. It should pick it up after you reset it through the menu. It might take some time to pick them up as it’s slow. Is this a US car?
    1
  21461. Hi! Careless technician that didn’t do the pre delivery service correctly. I love my fellow technicians but when they mess up they need to own it up. Some of these cars come with high pressure and it should be lowered.
    1
  21462. Hi! The 2nd button on models equipped will allow you to program a 2nd set of sensors to use for winter/summer tires and wheels for example
    1
  21463. You’d want to double check and try to manually program them to see if they program
    1
  21464. Are they correct sensors?
    1
  21465. Hi! Did you swap the sensors?
    1
  21466. Hi! You’d need a scan tool capable of communicating with Tpms to find the faulty sensor
    1
  21467. Hi! Does the light flash and eventually come on?
    1
  21468. Hi! New sensors will not work with the old systems
    1
  21469. Hi! Unfortunately it’s not possible
    1
  21470. Likely there’s an issue still with either the programming or the sensors themselves
    1
  21471. Hi! The new sensors were they programmed to the car?
    1
  21472. Some do some don’t with the 2018 Camry. If it has a metal sensor on the outside it’s not. If it looks like a rubber valve stem then it will auto program
    1
  21473. Hi! That’s indirect.
    1
  21474. I think you contacted me on Instagram is that you?
    1
  21475. Is that the spare tire or all the wheels?
    1
  21476. Hi! Unfortunately the tundra still has the old system so it needs programming
    1
  21477. Hi! On your 2018 Camry the spare doesn’t have a sensor. If the pressures are good and it’s still on you’ll need to check the data and see which sensor is not reading
    1
  21478. Hi! I really don’t have an exact tire size as this takes some trial and error but I’d estimate you can probably raise the section height by 10 and be ok.
    1
  21479. Hi! Inflate them to 35. The dealership might need to reset the threshold
    1
  21480. Carista app could work for this application. Check on their website if it has the capability for your model
    1
  21481. Hi! Unfortunately yes
    1
  21482. Hi! You don’t have to change the sensors you can swap them over for most wheels
    1
  21483. Hi! You’ll need a vin number to look it up. Head over to parts.Toyota.com and use your vin to look it up
    1
  21484. Hi! Likely a small leak in the tire because the pressure keeps going down. Could be a leaky sensor seal but it could also be a nail in the tire causing a slow leak.
    1
  21485. Hi! No it cannot
    1
  21486. Hi! Should have a direct system with sensors if memory serves right. And oil leaks could be valve cover gaskets
    1
  21487. I think newer Toyota’s are solid built but comparing them to an older engine is not fair. They are very technologically advanced today which makes them a bit less repair friendly as the old engines but they also have less maintenance requirements so you won’t be working on them as much.
    1
  21488. I would have it scanned regardless and see if all sensors are reading
    1
  21489. Hi! Does the light flash initially when you start the car?
    1
  21490. It does take a short drive to reset
    1
  21491. As Revmarket stated the movement of the car. Look at the valve stem if it’s metal then it’s a sensor if it’s rubbed then there’s no sensor. Your 2010 highlander does have a sensor in the spare tire
    1
  21492. Yes you can do that. Whatever pressure you currently have the tires at and you set it, it will be 5-6 psi from the current pressure.
    1
  21493. Not really. Other than the warning lights nothing else is affected
    1
  21494. Some models don’t show it unfortunately
    1
  21495. I hear you. Happy new year!
    1
  21496. They usually don’t auto calibrate the threshold.
    1
  21497. Hi! You’ll want to read codes and see what’s going on
    1
  21498. Hi! It’s considered an emission device do disabling it is not possible but perhaps removing the bulb or just covering it?
    1
  21499. Hi Anthony. I honestly have no experience with fords to speak of.
    1
  21500. Hi! It could need a reset to set the threshold. Also in Chicago the tire light doesn’t affect emissions testing.
    1
  21501. Hi! If memory serves right there should be one under the dash on the drivers side
    1
  21502. Hi! It could be the threshold that’s set incorrectly. Raise the tire pressure to 35 on all 4 and drive it
    1
  21503. Likely there’s a sensor that’s intermittently not working.
    1
  21504. Hi! Interesting. Did the light ever flash when you first start the car?
    1
  21505. Hi! I don’t know about aftermarket ones honestly.
    1
  21506. Hi! You can’t really just disable it. You can take the bulb off the dash and call it a day.
    1
  21507. Other than manually checking which one is not responding using a scan tool no there’s no other way
    1
  21508. Hi! It could be interference that jammed one of the sensors but now that you moved out of that area it’s good
    1
  21509. Just replace your sesnors and all is good 😂 good catch!
    1
  21510. Unfortunately no. You can’t upgrade the older style with the new style
    1
  21511. You will need to swap your old sensors back as the CHR and your Camry don’t have the same sensors
    1
  21512. Hi! If you swapped the old sensors you shouldn’t need anything. Which year Camry do you have?
    1
  21513. If this car has less than 3 years and 36k miles it could be under warranty. Otherwise I wouldn’t worry too much about it as long as the pressure are good
    1
  21514. Hi! A flashing light is an indication of a problem with the system. It could be a faulty sensor
    1
  21515. Hi! If memory serves right the sienna should have the new style sensors which can be swapped to the new wheels
    1
  21516. It can estimate the location based on the signal strength
    1
  21517. It will work regardless of the number of sensors replaced.
    1
  21518. 😂
    1
  21519. I would still change it honestly at 60k
    1
  21520. Hi! Really other than inspecting the drain plugs for signs of removal and reinstall or the lines if they did a flush there’s no other way
    1
  21521. Yes multiple trouble codes would set
    1
  21522. That is correct. These were a bit sensitive to the glass
    1
  21523. I would change it every 5k if you plan to keep it long
    1
  21524. Hi! Check the ground by the battery the one from the negative terminal for corrosion on the bolt
    1
  21525. Hi! You should be able to have it adjusted using a capable scan tool
    1
  21526. It should be something that can be adjusted
    1
  21527. Hi! Did you run it first the check the level? If you did then yea take it back as that’s overfilled
    1
  21528. Hi! In a hybrid it could be the ac compressor. And yea techstream can do that
    1
  21529. Hi! You should be able to make this adjustment with the d8
    1
  21530. Hi! You can use the same grease as usual and replace the rubber boot. Once swollen once it won’t fit right also clean the bore where the pin goes as well
    1
  21531. Hi! There’s potentially an active issue with these just like the RAV4 hybrid. Did the dealership try to reset the gauge?
    1
  21532. It should be able to yes under customizations
    1
  21533. Hi! I would let them do it if you’re happy with the price
    1
  21534. Hi! Potentially different in other markets
    1
  21535. Honestly hard to tell without hearing it and in person diagnosis
    1
  21536. It doesn’t cause damage if it’s done here and there. Purposefully doing it very frequently does put a strain on the steering and actually wears the tire as well
    1
  21537. Hi! No information on that to confirm yet but likely similar yea
    1
  21538. Hi! 60k or 6 years
    1
  21539. Hi! It’s doing well. I haven’t been driving it much and possibly looking to sell it soon
    1
  21540. Hi! Every 60k is good for the CVT as well
    1
  21541. Hi! Likely not. There’s a trick with these when it hangs. You’ll want to loosen the radio then turn the key on and while it’s on unplug the radio then plug it back in and see if it works afterwards
    1
  21542. Hi! Yes that is correct. For safety toyota decided not to include the closing function
    1
  21543. Hi! I’d need to hear the noise it’s making
    1
  21544. Single drain and fill.
    1
  21545. Loving it! Nervous with the wheels and pot holes. Will post a 6 month update
    1
  21546. All makes of cars really
    1
  21547. Hi! Unfortunately no.
    1
  21548. Hi! I would just drain and fill.
    1
  21549. Loving it! Get nervous when I drove on a street with pot holes but otherwise it’s good
    1
  21550. I’d need to hear it to know which noise exactly. Only noise they make that is normal is the direct injection which is loud on all models with it
    1
  21551. Hi! Do you have the start up noise in your car? And is it a 2018 Camry?
    1
  21552. Hi! I would change the coolant after 5 years
    1
  21553. Hi! It’s the same from 2010-2017 and similar from 2007-2009
    1
  21554. Yes! Potentially buying one
    1
  21555. Hi! Email me with the subject “Chicago Service Request” and give me a few days We’ll get back to you.
    1
  21556. Hi! They did have some issues with white paint. Ask the dealership to look it up and see if it’s covered
    1
  21557. Hi! It would set trouble codes and illuminate the
    1
  21558. Hi! The waiver is not good honestly. And I would service is every 60k miles
    1
  21559. Borderline. A single drain and fill is all I would do
    1
  21560. Hi! Most of them are like that. You could adjust it if you have a scan tool
    1
  21561. Hi! It’s inside the transmission.
    1
  21562. Hi! Yes you should be able to
    1
  21563. Hi! I would check the fluid level Afterwards to make sure you set it correctly.
    1
  21564. Not on ones driven often
    1
  21565. Hi! Likely unrelated if they all did was run the test
    1
  21566. Hi! That one can’t be corrected.
    1
  21567. Hi! That is normal on these especially when driven short trips before checking the oil level
    1
  21568. Hi! Are you using 0w20 oil and the temperature is very high in your area?
    1
  21569. Hi! Hard to tell without testing it and see what’s going on
    1
  21570. Hi! There’s an issue with these similar to the RAV4 hybrid. Likely they’ll issue a fix for it as well
    1
  21571. Hi! Try bleeding the brakes. You’ll need a scan tool for that
    1
  21572. Too late. Leave it alone at this point
    1
  21573. Hi! Do you mean a 2015 Venza? Just confirming and usually it’s not interchangeable unless the part numbers are the same
    1
  21574. Hi! They will be displayed on the information screen by the gauges as warning messages
    1
  21575. Hi! Stay with KYB
    1
  21576. Hi! Is the fluid level is good?and did you use the correct fluid?
    1
  21577. They’re map lights that don’t come on when you open the door. The XSE and XLE they double as interior lights
    1
  21578. I do recommend it but it does have a few things about it. I’m filming the review tomorrow for it and should be out in a weeks time. In short it has delays and slightly less audio quality but other wise works well
    1
  21579. Hi! It will be a slight trial and error as you might need knuckles.
    1
  21580. Hi! Not with a v6
    1
  21581. Hi Miguel. The TRD Camry is 10 lbs lighter than a normal XSE. Handles better but not what I call track ready. It’s front wheel drive and very front heavy. Driving it shakes your skull and doesn’t exactly set records on a track. That’s the problem with it.
    1
  21582. Hi! They are also prone to rust at a lesser degree than the 100 series. I would look into undercoating it to protect the frame
    1
  21583. No automatic only
    1
  21584. Hi! I would replace it and soon. Just a drain and fill though in this case
    1
  21585. It is to a point. Filming review tomorrow and should be out soon
    1
  21586. Likely on the 6th year
    1
  21587. Hi! No it’s not available on the TRD Camry
    1
  21588. No it’s front wheel drive
    1
  21589. No this one is lighter
    1
  21590. Hi! Originals from a 2020 model will work on the TRd as well
    1
  21591. It can be on a V6 model
    1
  21592. Awesome! Congratulations!
    1
  21593. Hi! It’s a quick jack by bendpak
    1
  21594. It will need some in person diagnosis. Need to know if the immobilizer is recognizing the keys internally or not
    1
  21595. Hi! All 2021+ Camry models dropped the hood struts
    1
  21596. Hi! In this case do replace the fluid.
    1
  21597. Hi! That’s very low mileage and age likely you won’t need to do anything yet.
    1
  21598. Yes just don’t let the Actuator run
    1
  21599. Sometimes the vacuum pulls the piston caliper back. You’d want to push it back to position
    1
  21600. Hi! At this point you’ll need a scan tool to bleed the system and careful thread the caliper piston in.
    1
  21601. Vacuum filled.
    1
  21602. If you’re just replacing the calipers and wheel cylinders bleed them normally pump the pedal and hold then have a second person open the bleeder and close and repeat until it’s bled
    1
  21603. Hi! On normal fluid replacement don’t worry about bleeding it just bleed normally. If you’ve replaced a brake line then bleed it first then the rear bleeders
    1
  21604. I do.
    1
  21605. They are not
    1
  21606. Hi! When you’re just replacing the fluid it doesn’t matter
    1
  21607. I would say a month or so
    1
  21608. All 4
    1
  21609. Hi! It’s not compatible with 3 or 4
    1
  21610. It doesn’t really matter the order honestly.
    1
  21611. Hi! Subtitle translations are in the works and hope they come soon.
    1
  21612. Yes
    1
  21613. Hi! The dealership doesn’t flush the system with every brake job
    1
  21614. As you take fluid out, the level will drop that’s when you add new fluid
    1
  21615. Hi! It is normal for the brake fluid to drop as the pads wear down. It will never go below minimum but when you replace the pads when they’re due it will go back up.
    1
  21616. It is drained partially similar to when you activate it with the scan tool
    1
  21617. Hi! You can do the rears without a scan tool.
    1
  21618. Interesting. Bleed them manually and see if you have fluid
    1
  21619. Hi! You need to get the fluid out of the lines as brake fluid doesn’t circulate
    1
  21620. Very good question. I would ask your local parts store if they can recycle it and if you have a quick lube place near you if they’d take it
    1
  21621. It’s possible but it would need to be confirmed
    1
  21622. Hi! In preparation for driving.
    1
  21623. Hi! Pumping the brake pedal with the car on after you are all done pushes any calipers that retracted. And not opening the drivers door ensures that the pump doesn’t run
    1
  21624. Hi! Do the full fluid replacement. Replacing the fluid in the reservoir does nothing really
    1
  21625. Hi! They should.
    1
  21626. Dot 3 and dot 4 are good for your 4runner
    1
  21627. Email me at thecarcarenut@gmail.com with the subject Chicago service request so it can get pulled to the side as I get a lot of emails
    1
  21628. Hi! I can replace the fluid. Email me with the title Chicago service request
    1
  21629. Add the fluid as it drops. As you pull fluid it’ll drop don’t let it get below minimum
    1
  21630. Hi! Bleed it normally as the video shown
    1
  21631. It’s not required
    1
  21632. Hi! Yes as you bleed the wheel the fluid level in the master will drop slowly. Top it off and don’t let it get below minimum
    1
  21633. Is anything seized?
    1
  21634. Hi’ any warning lights?
    1
  21635. I wouldn’t.
    1
  21636. Hi! Usually you can take it to your local parts store and recycle it. Don’t pour it anywhere please. Some repair shops will also take it from you to recycle it
    1
  21637. Hi! Yes here’s the link for that video https://youtu.be/Qmk9Ln-9x2k
    1
  21638. You did everything right. There shouldn’t be any issues. Are the brakes working normally or they feel hard?
    1
  21639. Hi! Try to get codes do you have a scan tool?
    1
  21640. It does but not high enough where it’s an issue
    1
  21641. You could but only from the master through the lines it won’t work
    1
  21642. I wouldn’t. The reservoir is plastic and not affected by moisture. You want to get what’s in the lines out
    1
  21643. Hi! Nothing extra is needed for the ones with parking brake just make sure the parking brake is not engaged
    1
  21644. Hi! Yes you can
    1
  21645. You’ll need a scan tool that can activate the pump in bleeding mode
    1
  21646. Hi! It does replace some of the fluid in the pump but not all. Activating the pump does push some of the fluid out as well
    1
  21647. Hi! It could go into safe mode and have very limited brake power. In worse case scenarios you could actually need to bleed it with a scan tool
    1
  21648. That is correct. You want to connect the battery terminal after you are done
    1
  21649. Hi! Could you rewrite the question here?
    1
  21650. Yes it does preparing for a trip
    1
  21651. Hi! Any order is fine on toyotas
    1
  21652. There’s no other way to replace the fluid.
    1
  21653. Same procedure
    1
  21654. Hi! It does apply and the same for the rear
    1
  21655. Hi! That’s sufficient to protect it don’t worry
    1
  21656. If it’s front caliper no. If it’s rear caliper possibly yes
    1
  21657. Yes they are compatible
    1
  21658. You should be able to
    1
  21659. Hi! It doesn’t matter the order
    1
  21660. It’s a good idea after the first 100k miles or 5 years
    1
  21661. If it’s sealed and unopened you’re good to store it
    1
  21662. No order required. And the clutch slave is the same
    1
  21663. Hi! Depends on the moisture content
    1
  21664. Fill the cup of the tool for each caliper is sufficient. And fill the master as the fluid drops
    1
  21665. Hi! That is normal.
    1
  21666. Hi! What is your question?
    1
  21667. Thank you for pointing it out. I’ll see if I can find and test a comparable one
    1
  21668. Hi! Which year?
    1
  21669. Hi! Just address anything it needs and keep up the maintenance.
    1
  21670. Hi! Minimum on the brake fluid reservoir. It’s marked on the reservoir as max and min. Min is abbreviation for minimum
    1
  21671. Hi! The procedure in this video works on hybrids
    1
  21672. It’s doing good! Much better than the old one!
    1
  21673. Hi! It’s actually on the hydraulic unit so a 5th bleeder if you would.
    1
  21674. Hi! They are good trucks. Here’s a video I did specific on that generation https://youtu.be/84I2Cq3ziR4

  21675. Hi! Any of the idlers have play? I would start with a belt
    1
  21676. I wouldn’t use dot 5 and using a scan tool works also but makes it more complicated for the same results
    1
  21677. Hi! They are good cars especially with the V6 check for oil leaks especially from the rear differential if it’s awd
    1
  21678. Hi! The cup that’s collecting the fluid you’ll see how much fluid you took out
    1
  21679. On brake fluid not a specific brand honestly. I usually just use the ones that our oil company supply.
    1
  21680. Regular ABS doesn’t activate on its own. But hybrids can pressurize the accumulator even with the car off
    1
  21681. Hi! It will pull some of the fluid in the lines but not all. And there’s one reservoir in the sienna
    1
  21682. If you are just replacing the fluid it doesn’t matter.
    1
  21683. Hi! When parts are replaced especially the rear you’ll need a scan tool. Dealerships don’t use a scan tool for brake flushes on hybrids
    1
  21684. It doesn’t mayter
    1
  21685. Yes you can
    1
  21686. Hi! You’ll need a capable scan tool to read abs codes to see what’s going on. You might have air in the system which would set a code
    1
  21687. Hi! After connecting the battery pump the pedal a couple of times and you’re good on hybrids
    1
  21688. Hi! If used properly the pump doesn’t have brake fluid in it. Just the hose leading up to the container. If brake fluid makes it to the pump it will damage it.
    1
  21689. The same
    1
  21690. Hi! It does woek
    1
  21691. Hi! So leave the cap off until you are done with everything. As you take fluid from the caliper bleeders the fluid in the master will drop. Fill at as you go so it won’t drop below minimum no need to take it out of the master again
    1
  21692. Hi! I will reveal that in an upcoming subscriber giveaway at 100k subscriber celebration
    1
  21693. Hi! Likely they spilled some fuel inside the car. Which is a mistake that can happen. However they can clean the car and deodorize it. Gasoline smell is a tough one to get rid off with just opening the windows.
    1
  21694. Hi! Sometimes the labor cost to repair a part is higher than replacing it. That’s possibly why.
    1
  21695. Hi edgar! It does remind you after almost 12 months to refuel to refresh the gas. And also displays your EV miles driven
    1
  21696. Hi Robert. Thank you for watching my channel! So that is a rare instance typically when the brake bulb filament burns it just opens the circuit. Nothing you can do about how a bulb filament burns. Likely it won’t happen again but if it ever does change the bulbs and the fuse for the brake switch is labeled STOP just replace it and call it a day.
    1
  21697. Wondering the same thing 😂
    1
  21698. Hi Tony. Some of these honda transmissions are ridiculous expensive however that price is up there. Did they break down parts and labor?
    1
  21699. That sounds a bit high from the dealership. Pushing it, it’s 5 hours labor.
    1
  21700. Hi! I would consider using top tier gasoline if possible
    1
  21701. Hi! 2007-2009 FJ does require premium and you should use it! 2010-2014 doesn’t require premium
    1
  21702. Hi! Do all the doors lock? Make sure of that.
    1
  21703. Hi! There’s a software update to the DCM that would fix this issue for good
    1
  21704. Hi! I haven’t done a video yet but plan to do one in the future
    1
  21705. It’s not my call to make. That’s what I would’ve done if it was up to me
    1
  21706. Hi! Different markets will have different demand based on the driving conditions in the area and quality of chemicals available. You can switch to synthetic oil.
    1
  21707. Hi! They don’t deem it a safety issue for a recall. However I would bring it to your dealerships attention so they can fix it for you.
    1
  21708. Hi! Head gaskets can fail with age and mileage but I always investigate a reason. Typical reasons is overheating or poor maintenance on the cooling system like not changing the coolant on time. On that 4 cylinder engine it’s easy as there’s plenty of space and the block is cast iron so it can be resurfaced if needed.
    1
  21709. Hi! It shouldn’t cause harm to change it.
    1
  21710. 😂 good point!
    1
  21711. Hi! Some dealerships will use a gun to fill oil and these guns need a periodic calibration which some dealerships never do. I would bring it up to them if your oil is overfilled and have them correct it.
    1
  21712. Thank you for your comment. Some dealerships have a way of leaving a bad taste by not caring. And it comes down to the individual employees. Some care about what they do some don’t.
    1
  21713. Unfortunately some dealerships will push the technicians to upsell work like that. I regularly talk to customers at work because of test drives and showing them what needs to be done when they come into the shop to look at the car but this varies by dealership
    1
  21714. Toyota Information System. It’s the official repair manual website from Toyota for dealerships
    1
  21715. Hi! If you don’t have issues you’re likely good. Just avoid over filling your tank in the future
    1
  21716. Hi! One click past 1st time shouldn’t overfill the tank
    1
  21717. This actually indicated an issue with the system that helps the gas pump click when it’s full
    1
  21718. Interesting. After it clicks what does the gauge show? Are you ever able to fill it up?
    1
  21719. Has it always been like this?
    1
  21720. Hi! It’s possible that there’s an issue with it to begin with. You didn’t overfill it intentionally so that should be taken care of by warranty don’t worry
    1
  21721. It could be an issue with the vent not flowing the vapor properly and causing that overflow.
    1
  21722. Which model and year?
    1
  21723. Hi! If a few weeks pass and there no check engine light you’re good.
    1
  21724. Hi! In rare cases it does if the purge valve is stuck open but if your car is driving normally then it’s just an emissions failure
    1
  21725. Hi! Usually the canister but it will need some diagnosis
    1
  21726. It might be an issue with the venting of the tank. This is something that will need in person diagnosis
    1
  21727. So the fuel gauge reads less than full correct?
    1
  21728. Hi! The 2008 has a bladder tank which is tricky and common to be temperamental. The 2013 is a surprise. When the pump clicks does the fuel gauge read full?
    1
  21729. Hi! I have a video for the 2020 Camry hybrid. Find it here https://youtu.be/0GpbRdiI65A
    1
  21730. Hi! If you don’t have any issues with your current car and you’re happy with it i wouldn’t replace it.
    1
  21731. Hi! No that’s not overfilling. After the pump clicks. People tend to keep adding fuel after the initial stop. That’s overfilling
    1
  21732. I would go with the Camry. I really like the corolla and it’s actually a great car as well but for my needs I feel the Camry is the right size that fits my taste
    1
  21733. So far no word on the fuel tank issue on the prime. The issues main concern with the hybrid models is when you fill the tank the gauge only goes to 7/8 full.
    1
  21734. They put warning signs for a lot of things and expect people to follow them. They will make some design features to prevent misuse but there’s a level of repeated misuse that the engineers will not waste their company’s resources to put measures in place to protect the car against. That’s the idea.
    1
  21735. In most cases they are one unit
    1
  21736. I don’t have experience with diesels
    1
  21737. Hi! They do tell you not to top off when filling but this is the technical explanation of why they say that.
    1
  21738. Hi! It does make a slight difference but such a small one that it’s not really measurable
    1
  21739. Hi! I don’t have much information for Honda’s as I work exclusively for Toyota
    1
  21740. I would love to understand the reason though.
    1
  21741. It’s not a problem to use it but also no benefit
    1
  21742. It won’t cause an error but it’s not safe and I highly recommend you shut off the engine before fill up
    1
  21743. That is either an issue with the pump at the gas station or another evap problem not flowing the vapors properly
    1
  21744. That’s correct. You only want vapors to go through the purge line never liquid
    1
  21745. Not really.
    1
  21746. Yes these are the first indications
    1
  21747. TSB numbers will be different for US and Canada. They should be well aware of the issue as it’s an ongoing one for repairs right now.
    1
  21748. There’s an active issue with the fuel tanks that has a solution now. Did you try calling the dealership again? I hope they know about the no1 repair right now in dealership!!
    1
  21749. Hi! What year rav4?
    1
  21750. Hi! Not yet they’re working on a fix
    1
  21751. Diesels are different
    1
  21752. Honestly it’s hard to tell. If it’s been a week or two and you have no codes, issues filling up or gas smell likely you are good.
    1
  21753. It could cause a small of gas yes.
    1
  21754. Hi. You’ll need to get codes first
    1
  21755. No It does not in the same way
    1
  21756. Hi! It’s a triple bay tool box so it is big
    1
  21757. Not really sure about diesels I don’t work on diesels.
    1
  21758. Hi! It could be an issue with the charcoal canister venting system slightly clogged and letting vapor go back to the neck too quickly. Before any repairs try a different gas station to isolate an issue with the station
    1
  21759. If you got no codes, no hard time filling with gas or fuel smell you’re good.
    1
  21760. The engine light could come on for various reasons one of them is trouble codes related to the evap system
    1
  21761. Hi! Once the pump clicks you have filled it up to the safe level without damaging anything
    1
  21762. It’s likely the exact same setup
    1
  21763. If your emission requirements require an evaporative emissions system then it’s the same
    1
  21764. I’m not aware of fueling issues with the venza hybrid. Please report it to your dealership.
    1
  21765. You should be good if you didn’t have a problem yet
    1
  21766. On drying the canister no it’s not possible without damaging it. This one honestly will need some diagnosis to see what’s going on
    1
  21767. Was the car ever overfilled with fuel?
    1
  21768. No actually that’s ideal for the evap test
    1
  21769. If the weather is cold it might not run the test for some time. Wait for codes to come back and if they do then replace it
    1
  21770. It should be a complete unit
    1
  21771. Hi! Those codes are likely a charcoal canister unit. First erase the codes and see what comes back. Permanent codes will stay there for a few drive cycles. If the light is off on the dash drive it for up to a week or two then check it again
    1
  21772. Hi! If the light is off and has been for some time you’re good no need to replace parts as long as everything is working
    1
  21773. Hi! Thank you for watching my channel! Email me with the subject testimony and I’ll share it
    1
  21774. I can 😂
    1
  21775. Hi! It’s a coolant pressure tested kit made by snap on
    1
  21776. Hi! Is it setting a code or just not reading?
    1
  21777. Hi! Either replace them or remove and reinstall them
    1
  21778. Hi! I wouldn’t attempt honestly
    1
  21779. Hi! I already have one for that. Here’s the link https://youtu.be/0GpbRdiI65A
    1
  21780. New engine is north of 10k used one is 3-5k depending on mileage/warranty plus labor to replace
    1
  21781. Hi! At this mileage I’d leave it alone
    1
  21782. Hi! Follow your manual I don’t really have experience with kia
    1
  21783. Hi! It’s possible. Does the white smoke smell sweet?
    1
  21784. Hi! It’s one made by snap on
    1
  21785. Hi! Unfortunately toyota doesn’t sell diesels in the US
    1
  21786. Hi! I wouldn’t use sealers for a head gasket issue
    1
  21787. Hi! At the tip of the plug there’s a mark from the factory
    1
  21788. Good oil. Expensive oil though and not exactly beneficial on toyota engines to justify its high cost
    1
  21789. Hi! I wouldn’t repair SRS wires. I would replace the harness. This is expensive but also is something your insurance would cover
    1
  21790. Hi! It’s possible if you can find a company that can work with the machine shop to custom make a gasket depending on how much they removed
    1
  21791. Hi! Every 60k miles or 6 years
    1
  21792. Hi! Toyota factory plugs have a specific marking that original replacements do not have
    1
  21793. Thank you!
    1
  21794. If it’s somewhat drivable I would drive it short distances. Definitely not work the investment of repairing it at this mileage and cost
    1
  21795. For filming purposes. The color did change with the engine off on this one because it’s an extreme case. But I put that note in case you are running the test on an engine that’s not as far gone as this one
    1
  21796. It would
    1
  21797. None! It’s a really good transmission.
    1
  21798. Hi! That model with that engine is not sold in my area I don’t have a lot of information on it
    1
  21799. That’s fine no issues.
    1
  21800. Hi! Is it a squeak when you go over a drive way hump with the wheel turned?
    1
  21801. How is your city driving traffic wise? Also what’s the ambient temperature?
    1
  21802. The 2021 and 2020 models have been very reliable with almost zero issues even in the early build models. Most of their issues are radio related and resolved with radio updates other than this not much has come up yet.
    1
  21803. Yes the one on the iM has been very reliable so far
    1
  21804. It’s good if it’s taken care of. I’ve seen a few cases of valvematic failure but the conditions of the car were questionable.
    1
  21805. Yes
    1
  21806. Hi! Yes if it’s in good condition with good service history
    1
  21807. They’re good cars. A bit cheap feeling inside
    1
  21808. Hi! Look for doors not closing right and paint that’s mismatched. If everything looks good it can be a car that was repaired properly and wouldn’t give you issues
    1
  21809. That was when the recall initially launched but that issue has been resolved.
    1
  21810. Hi! I wouldn’t if the fluid is changed on time
    1
  21811. Hi! That’s a flush which they shouldn’t be doing! 12 quarts of cvt fluid is a small fortune unless they’re using generic fluid. How much was the service?
    1
  21812. They are both good. The 2020 is a nicer car overall
    1
  21813. Hi! They are not the same. The 2020 has a CVT with first gear so it will drive nicer
    1
  21814. Hi! So far so good. No issues.
    1
  21815. Hi! It really depends on what it needs and how’s the rest of the car
    1
  21816. Hi! It’s possible.
    1
  21817. Hi! I would have to hear the noise. As it could be other things than the control arms
    1
  21818. Hi! The 15 and 16 are identical. The 17 is the facelift model
    1
  21819. Hi find another dealership
    1
  21820. Hi! I am not familiar with your model hybrid as it’s not sold in my country however hybrid Toyota’s usually used regular gas which is 93 in your case
    1
  21821. Hi! I don’t really have experience with CNG conversions
    1
  21822. That combination would be good
    1
  21823. Hi! November is late production for a 2014 if it’s November 2014 built
    1
  21824. Rattles were scattered and caused by many things on this model. Usually resolved with simple insulation. Most common one is the windshield heat vent rattling.
    1
  21825. It should be dependable.
    1
  21826. So far they’re good.
    1
  21827. The new arms are updated and changed specifically to fix this issue so likely it won’t come back
    1
  21828. Hi! It’s the bushing that causes the issue but is not serviceable separately so they will replace the whole control arm
    1
  21829. Hi! That repair should be covered as your car is certified and still under warranty. Bring it up to their attention and they should take care of it for you.
    1
  21830. Depends. The 2020 corolla came with 2 engines the 1.8 is the same as before the 2.0 is similar to the RAV4 just .5 L smaller
    1
  21831. We’re not quite sure what’s causing the actuators to fail. One theory is bad maintenance but we’ve also seen few well maintained ones fail.
    1
  21832. Interesting that’s a new one for me. Did you call Toyota and ask if they’d help?
    1
  21833. That’s an interesting one. Never ran into it. I’m sorry your going through this.
    1
  21834. Fidel Santiago I’m sorry to hear that Fidel. What happened with the transmission? Complete failure where the car doesn’t move?
    1
  21835. The eco models seem to improve after 2014 as I haven’t seen many with the valve lift actuator. Keep up the maintenance and you should have no issues
    1
  21836. They are good cars if taken care of
    1
  21837. The recall needs to be done first
    1
  21838. Hi! Check the fluid level first. Was the recall done? The noise which sounds like a whistling noise is normal
    1
  21839. You got it daniel! Have a wonderful new year.
    1
  21840. Hi! I’d need a car info like year and trim to get you a price. Labor wise up to 2 hours
    1
  21841. Hi! Many questions about it. I wouldn’t. I would use original
    1
  21842. It could be. Replace the fluid and reset the transmission memory and see if it improves
    1
  21843. Hi. Usually around 200-300
    1
  21844. The price will vary but the fluid itself is just over or under $100 dollars depends on your area
    1
  21845. Interesting. Was the reason why the engine failed found?
    1
  21846. How many miles does it have?
    1
  21847. The fluid is around 80-100 bucks. The filter is not something I would replace. I have another video on how to change it yourself otherwise usually it’s around 1 hour of labor max
    1
  21848. It is the same but it has been improved. Really after 2014 I haven’t seen a lot of issues
    1
  21849. Hi! The 2020 and up model has been doing very well with very little initial issues
    1
  21850. Hi! That can be normal as it’s trying to downshift to help stop the car but since it’s a CVt it feels that way.
    1
  21851. Unfortunately I am in Chicago. Have the dealership take care of it as long as it’s under warranty.
    1
  21852. They will have to see the settings for the remote start or perform a communication registration to get it to work again.
    1
  21853. Wait so the car doesn’t start at all? Or the remote starter is not working?
    1
  21854. Hi! The issue is likely a setting that got changed. I will ask you this. When you start your car does it display a message saying service mode on the screen and asks you to press ok to exit? If not I’d take it back to them
    1
  21855. Hi! I would change the transmission fluid. Question does the transmission have a dipstick?
    1
  21856. If water gets inside the car it could cause severe damage to the electrical system of the car anything that enters through the doors is too much
    1
  21857. It’s a good car if taken care of. Get the recalls done and you’re all set
    1
  21858. Hi! The next gen is doing well so far. A few things here and there. Will get a video for it once a bit more time passes with them
    1
  21859. Hi! So far we don’t see many issues with them.
    1
  21860. You’d have to check fuel trims. There could be an issue with the canister but that needs further testing to verify. Look at fuel trims if they’re too high as the purge valve could be sticking as well.
    1
  21861. Hi! A big evap leak could be a loose gas cap
    1
  21862. Hi! At this mileage I would leave the transmission fluid alone. The air bag recall I wouldn’t worry about however I would get it done if you haven’t already
    1
  21863. Hi! Possibly a control arm bushing
    1
  21864. Hi! I don’t have a video for that model yet. Keep up the maintenance. They’re good cars if taken care of
    1
  21865. It has a conventional automatic. Honestly that one is good and the cvt as well.
    1
  21866. It is a bit pricey compared to standard trans fluid
    1
  21867. It’s a Toyota CVT! That’s normal.
    1
  21868. Seen a few examples with over 200k miles already and they’re driving good with the original transmission so I’d say they’ll last.
    1
  21869. Not yet
    1
  21870. It’s a good car to buy as long as it’s in good condition
    1
  21871. Hi! Leaks on these years are possible but finding a car without the leak is not uncommon. I’ve seen enough of them leak so if want you to keep and eye if you have warranty and more important if you’re buying one.
    1
  21872. It’s 87. That is listed for other parts of the world where they use a different measurement
    1
  21873. Hi! Are you in the US? And yes S and B is for engine braking
    1
  21874. Not really. Usually they start from an early age if it’s going to leak
    1
  21875. It’s possible. They increased the battery warranty over the years and I wouldn’t be surprised if they do again.
    1
  21876. Hi! The new generation corolla has been solid so far. No notable first year issues
    1
  21877. Hi! It’s not a recall it’s a campaign. I’d your car is affected call your dealership to inquire for details
    1
  21878. Email me for details on the dealership and that squeak is likely the control arms. More of an annoyance than something worn or bad.
    1
  21879. Hi! If the Tacoma has no rust it’s a very good truxk
    1
  21880. I would look for a 2005-2008 corolla
    1
  21881. Hi! The fuel mileage will depend how your driving is. The fuel economy advertised is on basically free flowing traffic in speeds around 35 mph. If you live in cold climate or drive in a congested city it will be less. Also how are you calculating your Mileage? If you are using the cars mpg counter did you try to reset it after a gas fill up and see what you get the next fill up?
    1
  21882. Hi! I would just keep the maintenance by time and you should have no issues
    1
  21883. You can’t go wrong changing it a bit early. Too early is not good but every 40k is very good.
    1
  21884. No. The 2020 corolla is a completely different car
    1
  21885. Hi! Every 30-50k miles
    1
  21886. Hi! There shouldn’t be any programming to replace the body ecu on this one. And the speaker harness is something that we’re seeing happen recently
    1
  21887. I would need to hear the noise to get a better idea. Email me a clip of the noise.
    1
  21888. Hi! I don’t think that’s normal. But do me a favor and take a video of what it does and email it to me just to be sure.
    1
  21889. It’s possible but a shop wouldn’t likely do this for liability but doing this yourself it’s possible just make sure it’s the same year.
    1
  21890. You can at your own risk because of the air bags in the seats.
    1
  21891. 2003-2008 are great cars. Rust takes a beating on them but otherwise they’re really good. 2009-2013 is ok but they tend to be a bit cheap feeing and if not maintained they can have issues like vvti gear rattling oil leaks frequently failing water pumps and alternators.
    1
  21892. Thank you!
    1
  21893. Hi! There’s a manual transmission option and it’s a very good transmission as well
    1
  21894. Both the airbag recall and the fuel pump recall are underway. The airbag recall has been out for a while and it’s really simple. The fuel pump recall is new and has been out for a short time. It’s a simple fuel pump replacement. If you’re not happy with your dealership I’d try another one.
    1
  21895. Have the dealership reset the transmission memory and see if it gets better
    1
  21896. Hi! My shop is in homer glen illinois
    1
  21897. It depends on the shop. I charge 2 hours of labor for those lines
    1
  21898. Hi! We specialize in Toyota Lexus and scion but occasionally will work on others
    1
  21899. Thank you! I have some new equipment including a new microphone. Tweaking things for it.
    1
  21900. We talked about this option they didn’t like it as it will show very clearly that there’s a cut in the epoxy
    1
  21901. Hi! It’s a nice upgrade. Aim your headlights afterwards
    1
  21902. Hi Steve. Give us a call and we’ll schedule you in or visit the website at TCCNautomotive.com and send a request and we’ll get back to you
    1
  21903. Hi! Homer glen Illinois visit TCCNautomotive.com for details
    1
  21904. Hi! I would go with the recommended oil in your owners manual
    1
  21905. It happens. They’re taking care of everything so I can’t complain honestly.
    1
  21906. Hi! Disconnect all 4 injectors and coils
    1
  21907. I accept Parts supplied by customers as long as they’re not counterfeit and the customer knows that I can’t warranty them
    1
  21908. You can also buy it in a 55 gallon drum which I dislike because of contamination
    1
  21909. In the US all Toyota parts will come out of a dealership in one way shape or form. That’s part of the franchise agreement
    1
  21910. I haven’t seen any yet but I’ve seen WS transmission fluid that’s fishy
    1
  21911. Hi! Homer glen Illinois
    1
  21912. It’s a 3 coat epoxy according to the contractor.
    1
  21913. Visit out website at tccnautomotive.com
    1
  21914. Thank you! Microphone is new and had some issues in this video
    1
  21915. I use a rode but we had an issue with this video and a few others. New microphone already here and replacing the old one
    1
  21916. Thank you! And yes it’s spelled Eros
    1
  21917. Honestly things are well but the initial expense is monumental. Finding good mechanics is the toughest thing. It truly helps to have experience in the relevant field of your new business because even then you’ll have things that come that you never thought off. I was told to budget then increase your budget by 25% to account for mistakes and surprises. I’ll correct than closer to 50%
    1
  21918. Hi! Within a 5-10 mile radius there are a lot of interesting places including a mall.
    1
  21919. Hi! They need better grease application to quiet down or replace the pads
    1
  21920. The 3.0 is tough. Lack of good oil change intervals affect it though
    1
  21921. Hi! 0w20 and under certain cases it does allow for 10k oil changes
    1
  21922. Hi! That’s the original toyota sealer
    1
  21923. Hi! I am located in the Chicago area
    1
  21924. The transmission shifted very well for the mileage actually. Fluid looks ok not great but acceptable
    1
  21925. Hi! Be careful with used engines on a place like Craigslist.
    1
  21926. Email me at thecarcarenut@gmail.com with the subject Chicago service request
    1
  21927. So far so good with the O2 sensor. This car actually came back already with a few oil changes and it’s good after the cat replacement
    1
  21928. The oil consumption is the likely cause here
    1
  21929. Hi! The customer was given the option he wanted to try his luck.
    1
  21930. Hi! Nothing specific. Check the filters and do a general inspection. The water can go out on this engine
    1
  21931. Hi! There’s no specific time from Toyota on the idling but I’d say if you’re idling 1 hour give or take a day that’s a lot and adds up quickly
    1
  21932. Oil pressure was good? At some point we keep adding parts to replace that are good. The bill will double
    1
  21933. Hi! That’s a normal rattle that these engine make not the problem vvti rattle. I wouldn’t worry about it
    1
  21934. Could you share a link?
    1
  21935. Hi! It is a similar design yes
    1
  21936. No. Wear indicator is good
    1
  21937. Hi! That engine has a design issue that caused this. The parts that they used to fix it are updated to prevent this from happening again
    1
  21938. I hope no one got hurt In the accident!
    1
  21939. The excessive blow by caused the gunk
    1
  21940. Hi! I would just pay for the oil change out of pocket
    1
  21941. Hi! It can happen if the maintenance is not done
    1
  21942. The 2AZ engine had a design issue which was fixed with updated pistons and rings
    1
  21943. Hi’ synthetic oil can do benefits but don’t prolong the interval just because it’s synthetic
    1
  21944. The v6 is much better with oil consumption.
    1
  21945. Hi! The 2AR engine is an excellent one that doesn’t have issues with oil consumption as long as the oil change interval is correct. Neglect that and you’ll have oil consumption issues. The 2AZ had an issue that regardless how often you changed the oil it burns.
    1
  21946. Soon. The journalist specs are out but the real technical details and repair manual is not out yet. I’ll hold off until technical training and real technical information is out then you’ll get to know the new tundra a lot more 😉
    1
  21947. Hi! Every 5k
    1
  21948. Hi! There’s no scientific reason for that to happen.
    1
  21949. Hi! This one cost almost $7000
    1
  21950. Hi! You’ll want to find one with good maintenance history which is hard
    1
  21951. You were not wasting your money. Oil might look clean but doesn’t mean it’s good.
    1
  21952. Send me an email as I told you.
    1
  21953. Hi! Email thecarcarenut@gmail.com with the subject of the email Chicago service request
    1
  21954. Hi! Email with the subject Chicago service request
    1
  21955. Hi! Very rare but it can happen
    1
  21956. That actually just changed and went up but on average they charge 120-175 per hour depends on where you’re at.
    1
  21957. I personally would go 5k miles or 6 months
    1
  21958. It’s much easier out of the top. No real benefit taking it out of the bottom
    1
  21959. I would use 5w20 or even 5w30 on the 5.7 honestly. Maybe full synthetic.
    1
  21960. How much is it consuming?
    1
  21961. Hi! On EV mode that is correct. But during your drive the hybrid system will go into EV mode as needed so you could see EV mode higher than that speed
    1
  21962. You shouldn’t have issues if you changed it at 5k, used quality oil and filter
    1
  21963. Not really. That part was good with the car
    1
  21964. Hi! I haven’t tried that myself so I can’t advice on it honestly. Oil cleaners can help but at some point if damage is done to the cylinder walls it won’t work anymore
    1
  21965. Hi! 12 months or 1 year
    1
  21966. Toyota doesn’t sell a complete engine just a short block
    1
  21967. Hi! Synthetic or not 5000 miles is a good interval for most uses from my experience
    1
  21968. Excessive oil burning. Eventually even the oil separator can’t keep up
    1
  21969. Hi! Hard to generalize but most modern engines have one
    1
  21970. Hi! Just for carrying the hood. Otherwise I can do this solo
    1
  21971. Hi! Likely both. Does it smoke on cold start?
    1
  21972. Hi! Email with Chicago service request in the subject
    1
  21973. Valve guides were checked and are good. The cylinder head other than the severe build up in the ports and the completely carboned up valves checked out good.
    1
  21974. That is correct but I would change it every 5k regardless if you want to play it safe
    1
  21975. Hi! Disconnected the coils and injectors and crank it to build up pressure.
    1
  21976. Hi! Those are not scratches. The cylinder head is checked for flatness and is within spec. That’s what counts more than looks. And a used engine cost almost the same and it’s used and could have the same issue. This was discussed with the owner
    1
  21977. Hi! Toyota doesn’t make different kind of rings for this engine
    1
  21978. Hi! I have no experience with them. I work exclusively on Toyota products at a dealership
    1
  21979. Hi dale. I would change the oil every 8000kms or less if possible during the really cold winters. A block heater may be a good idea if this is often parked outside in frigid weather.
    1
  21980. Yes. Video coming out tomorrow just for that.
    1
  21981. They do not sell a complete engine.
    1
  21982. Hi! Toyota doesn’t sell a long block.
    1
  21983. Yes I did. Welcome to Toyota. They have a wear indicator on the chain and it’s good.
    1
  21984. I would pay close attention to the special operating conditions. If they apply to you then 5k/6 month oil changes it is
    1
  21985. There’s limitations to what I can do at the dealership.
    1
  21986. Hi! This engine has hydraulic lifters
    1
  21987. Hi! Toyota doesn’t sell a complete new engine. On the transmission typically around 150k miles small issues start and they get worse over 200
    1
  21988. Hi! Normally no but if for any reason you have the intake off replace it and if you want to replace it for maintenance every 120k is the least
    1
  21989. Hi! If you read into the manual there’s a section that mentions special operating conditions. Do they apply to your driving style?
    1
  21990. Hi! Liqui moly makes a good one
    1
  21991. Hi! The cost difference was $1000 for a used engine with unknown service history
    1
  21992. Hi! Possibly a bearing noise. Does it change pitch when you swerve the car left and right as you’re driving
    1
  21993. Yes
    1
  21994. Hi! Welcome to the Toyota world. The chain has a wear indicator and it’s fine. The guides are not worn or otherwise have any issues.
    1
  21995. No we do this work in house
    1
  21996. There a few tests to check if the head bolts need replacement or not
    1
  21997. Hi! 5w20 or 5w30
    1
  21998. Hi! I would stick to the recommended weight for the car and replace it every 4-5k
    1
  21999. Hi! I would change it every 5k especially on that model Prius
    1
  22000. Now that is a price that owner won’t forget!
    1
  22001. Hi! Welcome to Toyota! The timing chain has a wear indicator and it’s good.
    1
  22002. Hi! The oil in the intake is from the excessive blow by even if you had an oil catch can it wouldn’t work because of the condition of this engine. This is port injected only.
    1
  22003. Ah sorry too many comments
    1
  22004. Hi! I’d it a 4 cylinder or V6?
    1
  22005. Hi! Depends on what the reason for the rebuild is
    1
  22006. Hi! It does do a good job for a healthy engine but in the case of this engine blow by was so excessive that it simply couldn’t keep up
    1
  22007. Hi! Similar but for different reasons. The engine in your car had an issue that accelerates the seizing of the rings because of the piston design. A redesigned piston is available to fix this
    1
  22008. Hi! ThAt engine did have a manufacturing issue that caused it to burn oil
    1
  22009. There’s one record of service on it
    1
  22010. Just keep the oil changes at 5k interval
    1
  22011. Yes
    1
  22012. Hi! To bleed the brakes after parts replacement you need a scan tool.
    1
  22013. You could. Sometimes it won’t pull up everything but it’s definitely worth a try
    1
  22014. I don’t have a video on them yet. Each vent will have 2 small doors that pop open exposing 2 10mm screws remove them and each vent will pop out for cleaning.
    1
  22015. Due to the design of the battery it does have 3 vents and 3 filters. They are reusable though. Just clean them no need to replace them.
    1
  22016. Hi! The three vents underneath the back seat has a built in mesh in each one
    1
  22017. Nothing else done in the service other than what you see in the video.
    1
  22018. Yes you can
    1
  22019. Thank you for watching my video. The 2020 highlander is too new to know all it’s common trends however the initial launch of your highlander was a very smooth one with almost no early production issues at all. The hybrid drivetrain is solid so far. Here’s a video that will give you more information on the new 4 cylinder engine in your car https://youtu.be/9GWKBbEMCC4
    1
  22020. Usually an hour of labor and 2.5-3 if the fan is clogged and needs to be physically cleaned. At the dealership where I work that would be 140 bucks. I usually use a camera to go into the vent and look the fan. On this rav4 I haven’t seen a dirty fan yet as the mesh filter does a good job but the all Prius models up to 2013 and Camry hybrids up to 2013 are usually the biggest offenders when it comes to clogged fans because they never came with filters or meshes from the factory
    1
  22021. Thank you for your comment. You’re welcome to just use a vacuum to clean it. Taking 10 minutes to remove the panels gets you better results but that is your decision as an owner.
    1
  22022. I would clean it at this point
    1
  22023. Depends on your use. I would check it every 3 months then Increase the time as needed
    1
  22024. You’re welcome!
    1
  22025. Here’s a video that will help you for the filter on your corolla https://youtu.be/U7mjpvRihVU
    1
  22026. Hi! Which year corolla?
    1
  22027. Hi! Thank you for watching! I do not have the same experience with honda as I do Toyota
    1
  22028. Serhii is awesome!
    1
  22029. Thank you for watching my videos. The 2007-2013 tundra buying guide is on the list it might take a bit of time to get to it on my end. 2007 tundra is good overall as long as it’s been maintained right. The early ones had issues with valve springs breaking. Best one to buy is if you can find one with the 4.7L engine which is truly bullet proof. The 5.7 in this year was good but we’ve seen a good number of them break a valve spring and drop a valve and basically destroy itself. No real way to check them. Over reviving that engine pushes it towards breaking a valve spring. Notorious for water pump leaks and some oil leaks over the exhaust manifold that are kinda of a nightmare to fix. Rust kills these trucks so I’d make sure it’s not a rusty one you’re looking at. It goes through brakes pretty quick and if rusty could have locked up calipers. If the truck you’re looking at has been well maintained these things can last a very long time and they are really a hidden gem if you would.
    1
  22030. Happy thanksgiving Chuck!
    1
  22031. They are making them easier on the newest models.
    1
  22032. Hi! The fan is a bit buried on this one as you’d need to remove the vents going to it
    1
  22033. Unfortunately they don’t sell the CHR as a hybrid model in my market.
    1
  22034. In the US hybrid RAV4 started in 2016
    1
  22035. I agree with you. The newer ones are moving to be easier and easier
    1
  22036. Depends on your use. I would check it every 3 months if it’s clean then 6 months and go from there.
    1
  22037. I have a video for the 2007-2011 Camry hybrid. Find it here https://youtu.be/0vwgmIsAefY
    1
  22038. They typically don’t require any maintenance. The noise can be coming from the motors themselves haven’t seen any good way to make them stop making the noise
    1
  22039. Hi! You can’t easily get to the vent just by putting a mat. You should be good
    1
  22040. Hi! Are you referring to the the box in the very back?
    1
  22041. Hi! The 3 vents under the back seat do have mesh filters like the RAV4 build into them and can get clogged.
    1
  22042. I just need to find a car to film with in Chicago.
    1
  22043. I hear you. They are much easier on the newest hybrid models.
    1
  22044. Hi! If the engine has new pistons and rings installed at the dealership you’re good and can get very high mileage out of this car
    1
  22045. If it’s a 4 cylinder they’re common to burn oil. Make sure to ask before buying .
    1
  22046. Hi! The hybrid model of that year is good just know that the engine could burn oil if it was not fixed
    1
  22047. If it didn’t get the engine fixed with proof I’d walk away
    1
  22048. Hi! If it doesn’t burn oil it’s good otherwise I would walk away
    1
  22049. No additional upgrade parts from Toyota are available for transmissions
    1
  22050. I wouldn’t on this engine
    1
  22051. The issue is fixed after the replacement as long as the oil is changed every 5k after the repair
    1
  22052. It’s a model of Toyota not sold in the US
    1
  22053. On this engine it can happen but if it’s hot doing it now keep up the oil change intervals
    1
  22054. Around 18 hours of labor plus parts
    1
  22055. Thank you for your video request. It’s on the list and will come in the future
    1
  22056. Yes sorry 05-08 corolla
    1
  22057. On the Camry I would be careful on the 2008-2010 with the 4 cylinder as they have oil burning problems. I would go with a v6 there. Don’t know much about the sonata and the 2008 corolla is a very good car. The 09-13 corolla is ok but the 2008 is likely better
    1
  22058. If you look closely at the engine. You will see seams where the different parts of the engine connect. You see a sealer between the parts that’s what you’re looking for color wise
    1
  22059. I’m sorry to hear the dealership didn’t take care of it. Engine oil cleaning solutions could help but I wouldn’t overpay for it as it’s a 50/50 shot
    1
  22060. The front timing cover and the upper oil pan
    1
  22061. I honestly don’t have much experience with honda to say if they are better or not.
    1
  22062. They’re ok. They do burn oil if not fixed. Kinda hard to find ones in good shape
    1
  22063. No it doesn’t unless it’s severely neglected
    1
  22064. Hi! The 2002-2006 had the same engine but internally they were different. They burned oil if they were not maintained
    1
  22065. Hi! How’s the fluid condition?
    1
  22066. Hi! You’d need to use your vin and look it up on parts.Toyota.com
    1
  22067. I’ve run into this problem before. Usually cars that are driven with moderation and not frequently revved up high. Build up in the catalytic converter that occasionally when you step on it, it comes out and makes the smell.
    1
  22068. Hi! Does it smell like a rotten egg smell? Also are there any exhaust leaks?
    1
  22069. They are both good. The 2012 will likely be better
    1
  22070. Hit and miss. If you find one in good shape go for it
    1
  22071. Email me for details
    1
  22072. I don’t have the thread specs for that one. You’d have to measure it and measure the thread pitch
    1
  22073. Hi! I would leave it alone at this point
    1
  22074. Hi! They last a long time with good maintenance
    1
  22075. Hi! Avalon’s are good in that year range. Have it inspected before you buy to be sure you’re buying one that was cared for
    1
  22076. No they are very different. The 2006 has a 3.3L 3MZ-FE V6 and the 2007 has the 3.5L 2GR-FE
    1
  22077. Hi! Oil consumption is one issue with the 4 cylinder engine
    1
  22078. I think that 2003 Camry you bought is one of the best Camry models ever made especially with that v6. Take good care of that Camry that you got.
    1
  22079. It really doesn’t matter they both have the same issues.
    1
  22080. Customer support program. It means that Toyota is doing this repair to satisfy customers not because it’s a safety issue but because they take care of their customers for abnormal problems
    1
  22081. Hi! The 2007-2011 do have oil burning problems
    1
  22082. That’s odd. Well if you’re going to replace the fuel pump I would get an original one
    1
  22083. Hi! Most of these issues are not big ticket items. Curious on the fuel pump and why it needs replacement. The CV boot can be replaced without replacing the axle. The mid pipe can be expensive through Toyota but having a muffler shop fix it is much cheaper. The motor mount is not a big issue and would be last on my list if you want to do it in 2 goes so it wouldn’t be one big expense.
    1
  22084. Hi! If you can find one in good shape yes. The engine does burn oil if it hasn’t been fixed
    1
  22085. If it’s a US model then the 4 cylinder will have the the U250E which is a 5 speed. If it’s a V6 then it’s a U660E which is a 6 speed.
    1
  22086. I would ask for service records. Without consistent oil changes I would save yourself the headache and look for either a v6 or one with good service records
    1
  22087. It is but the engine can burn oil
    1
  22088. I don’t have experience with this Honda Pilot.
    1
  22089. You’d have to ask a Toyota dealership.
    1
  22090. I would be careful with the engine as they have an oil burning problem. If it’s been fixed by the program from Toyota then it’s good but if it’s not I would be careful.
    1
  22091. Thank you!
    1
  22092. Honestly I would just let it be at this point. And if you decide to replace it do it once and use ATF WS
    1
  22093. These are reliable if taken care of

  22095. You can add the heat shield. It helps keep the temps down in the engine bay. And regarding engine oil burning if it’s not burning now I would keep changing the oil every 3-5k miles and hope it stays that way

  22096. That’s good to hear! That’s barely broken in! You got lots of life left in it!

  22099. For the oil consumption. A few years back Toyota had a program to fix these engines for oil burning on the 4 cylinder engine. This program now expired. If this is a 4 cylinder car and it has been fixed then it’s a good car
    1
  22100. If the engine has been fixed and the maintenance is kept I would

  22101. Hi! If this is a 2005 Camry v6 it’s a very good engine. Timing belts can be a bit expensive to replace. Valve covers are common to leak but otherwise that’s a very good car to buy if it’s in good shape
    1
  22102. Yes it does
    1
  22103. Ok understood. So the cold start rattle on the v6 was somewhat common not so much on hor Camry but still possible. It’s a rather expensive repair because the engine has to come out to fix it
    1
  22104. Hi! The 2006 didn’t have a 3.5 it had a 3.3. Could you double check?
    1
  22105. Hi! If this is a 3.3L engine it’s not common for any cold start rattle. If the noise is more of a squeal it come be a drive belt needing adjustment or replacement
    1
  22106. I would be careful with that one unless you know it was well taken care of.
    1
  22107. Hi! Yes or get one that for sure has gotten the engine repaired
    1
  22108. Prices will vary by area. Best is to compare blue book values in your area at kbb.com
    1
  22109. Hi! If it’s a 4 cylinder model make sure the engine has been fixed by Toyota under the campaign if it’s not just know that you could have oil burning problems
    1
  22110. Front timing cover?
    1
  22111. Hi! I really have no experience with honda hybrids.
    1
  22112. Hi Hugo. It could be many things including worn motor mounts especially the torque rod near the belt. It could also need a simple throttle body cleaning possible spark plugs. I wouldn’t start replacing parts unless an actual diagnosis is done.
    1
  22113. Thank you!
    1
  22114. Hi! It was a manufacturing problem with the dash. The new ones are improved and shouldn’t have issues
    1
  22115. Hi! The v6 is not known to burn oil as long as it’s maintained
    1
  22116. Either contact your local Toyota dealership and ask they can look it up. Or. Inspect the sealer on the engine. If it’s all black likely it’s been done. If it’s grey then it has not been done
    1
  22117. Hi! Sorry I don’t know anyone one your area
    1
  22118. If it’s in good shape and not burning oil if it’s a 4 cylinder then yes
    1
  22119. E.G. IV best of luck with the purchase!
    1
  22120. I would give a local Toyota dealership a call with the vin no and ask if it has been fixed under the policy that is now expired assuming this is a 4 cylinder. If it’s a 6 cylinder they don’t burn oil. Unfortunately there’s no way to know if the car burns oil other than buying it and driving it to find out. But it’s so common on these engines that it hasn’t been fixed I can almost guarantee it will burn oil.

  22157. Hi! Thank you for watching my channel! A flush is likely what the dealership will do and in your case it’s not an issue at all. You’re replacing the fluid on time. Typically I advise against flushes when the fluid is long overdue.

  22158. Hi! The 2013 highlander hybrid is good. Just get it inspected before buying and ask for service records

    1
  22190. That’s not right. Any chance you can take it to another dealership? If the pump clicks and it reads around 7/8 on the gauge there could be an issue with it

  22283. Hi! I haven’t seen any issues with the TRd pro suspension
    1
  22284. Hi! Usually every 2-3 years. Is the tester you’re using accurate?
    1
  22285. Hi! Thank you for watching. The brake fluid needs to be tested for moisture content but on average every 2-3 years
    1
  22286. Hi! The actuator is another name for the pump or motor. It’s the same thing and it’s the whole unit
    1
  22287. Huh... that’s interesting! Could you take a picture of that?
    1
  22288. Hi! That’s a good truck to buy just get it a pre purchase inspection
    1
  22289. I hear you. But a locking gas cap would resolve this issue.
    1
  22290. Hi! Likely not honestly. This would be trial and error as it’s not an official kit
    1
  22291. Hi! There’s only a strainer on the fuel pump itself and it’s not serviceable so you don’t need to worry about it
    1
  22292. Somewhat similar but a lot more advanced. The hydro boost system in the 60s used power steering fluid. This one uses brake fluid and has its own pump
    1
  22293. Hi! Discounts are not huge typically. And it has to be a car I’m buying in my name to qualify
    1
  22294. Hi! eBay and google. I don’t have a specific kit that I would recommend
    1
  22295. Hi! The calipers on the front are similar but the Tacoma uses a conventional vacuum brake booster and has rear drum brakes
    1
  22296. Awesome to hear that! Do you happen to have their information?
    1
  22297. Hi! They’re not supposed to be serviced but they do have a tendency to seize up. Do you live in an area where road salt is used?
    1
  22298. Hi! Were you able to isolate the sound to a specific area? Also does the car start?
    1
  22299. Some has it some didn’t. It would make a huge difference honestly
    1
  22300. I don’t know a reliable source to find them that I trust
    1
  22301. Hi! You can’t force charge the battery. Pressing the brake and gas won’t do it. The engine will come on and charge the battery when needed.
    1
  22302. It’s usually the motor that fails and googling around you can find diy kits to replace the motor
    1
  22303. Toyota does sell an original grease that works well. Part number is 08887-80409
    1
  22304. The rotors being rusty looking or have deep grooves
    1
  22305. Hi! How do the rotors look? Also after you make turns does the pedal do the same thing?
    1
  22306. You can but you’d have to move the cams and crank into the correct position first
    1
  22307. I am not very fond of modifications. A catch can might help but not to the level that most promote/expect
    1
  22308. These are assembly markers. The color indicates the direction. And the lines indicate the location of install. Makes assembly easier and faster
    1
  22309. Hi! Shop online starting with parts.Toyota.com
    1
  22310. Clean the throttle body
    1
  22311. Hi! Does it start after it shuts offv
    1
  22312. Hi! Record a video of the noise and email it. I’ll take a listen. Also I would try to disconnect the alternator connector it’s between the front of the engine and the radiator
    1
  22313. Hi! Not familiar with any alternator upgrades on a 2018 Camry
    1
  22314. I would just get a new one. By the time you replace the parts inside the alternator you’ll be close to the cost of a new one
    1
  22315. Hi! It’s much easier on your Camry and a similar process
    1
  22316. Hi! Use a small amount of rtv to secure it in place. It will work perfectly fine just with vibration over time it could come loose
    1
  22317. So far the 2013 camrys didn’t have any issues with ABS that I know of or have seen. Only thing is brake light switches are starting to fail which does cause codes.
    1
  22318. If it’s just a small seepage and given the price of the car and mileage I think it’s a good deal if the car is good otherwise. That seepage might take a long time to turn into an active leak
    1
  22319. Thanks for the suggestion I’ll look into it
    1
  22320. Thank you!
    1
  22321. Thanks Mathew!

  22322. Not long at all. Maybe 1/2 hour to an hour

  22323. Thank you sir!
    1
  22324. It will or you can clean the throttle body using this video https://youtu.be/3B-a8WJtd8w
    1
  22325. Hi! You can disconnect the battery but in some cases if the throttle body has never been cleaned you’ll have a low idle for a few days until it relearns
    1
  22326. Thank you! Merry Christmas!
    1
  22327. A bench test most of the time is inaccurate honestly
    1
  22328. Hi! Likely another faulty alternator. That’s how it is with aftermarket ones
    1
  22329. Hi! An alternator test would be needed in this case. It could be a weak alternator.
    1
  22330. A small one like the one I’m using goes up to 30 usually the battery is never fully charged so it’s usually less. Great for small things and running down long bolts
    1
  22331. Hi! Not simple to do as the v6 is a pretty big engine and Space will be an issue
    1
  22332. I can but we’ll be here for a couple hours as it’s a little bit more involved.

  22335. netman88 thanks for your suggestion! I’ll try to change the views on the camera for the next video!
    1
  22336. Thanks! When I get one to work one I definitely film it.
    1
  22337. Maybe! Lol
    1
  22338. Would a rav4 prime poster count? 😂
    1
  22339. Hi! Yes it’s the same
    1
  22340. Yeah it is. I’ve also seen a few alternators make squeaking noise but they’re mainly cold when they do it. The belt is a pain on the ground but doable through the wheel well
    1
  22341. For the 25 mile commute you’re ok but I wouldn’t take it on a long trip without taking care of it
    1
  22342. The tensioner is a bit more complicated to replace as you’d need to remove the compressor. How far are you traveling
    1
  22343. The belt tensioner in your engine is underneath the alternator also next to it is another idler pulley. I will tell you this from experience. Noise travels very easily in this engine where you listen with a stethoscope you will hear the noise everywhere. I would remove the belt and check all these components by hand to make sure you’re not replacing parts that won’t fix the issue
    1
  22344. ​ @w.hor6000  just to clarify, Does your sienna has the V6 engine or 4 cylinder?
    1
  22345. Sounds good let me know
    1
  22346. Compressors can make noise prior to them going bad. And to be honest sometimes it takes a very long time from when the compressor starts making noise and when it goes dead. Would you be able to take a video of the noise and email it to me so I can take a listen?
    1
  22347. It’s possible it’s either the fan or even the compressor. I would unplug the fan and try the ac make sure you don’t drive the car with the fan unplugged. If the noise is still there I’d think it’s from the compressor. If it’s the fan I’d see if something is stuck in the fan or if the fan motor has a lot of play. Nothing chronic that I know right of the bat. Check both and see which one is the source
    1
  22348. Do you mean the fan under the hood or the ac fan inside the van?
    1
  22349. Hi. You’d have to disassemble the fuse block to replace the main fuse which is in the drivers side fuse block under the hood. Part of a strip that holds multiple fuses.
    1
  22350. Likely it is an alternator issue. I would check the terminal at the alternator with the car off. If you have 12volts there as well then it’s likely an alternator
    1
  22351. Hi! Could be normal for the age.
    1
  22352. There’s a section in the repair manual that will give you a reference for value ranges for every specific Model and year

  22353. So back pressure is not covered in the next video. Honestly with Toyota I think I’ve done maybe 2 back pressure tests and it’s not something commonly done. Did you have a specific question about it?
    1
  22354. Which model year Toyota?
    1
  22355. It’s a bit elevated but not critical yet. Clean the mass air flow and see if it improves
    1
  22356. Hi! Are you checking them at idle?
    1
  22357. Hi! Is this a 4 cylinder model?
    1
  22358. Hi! It does have one in the trans pan and I believe that one is not removable and it’s part of the pan. That pan has 2 plugs one is drain and one overflow
    1
  22359. Hi! That’s normal.
    1
  22360. Yes that is the standard for OBD2
    1
  22361. Hi! Typically that’s a code associated with bank 2 sensor 2 which is the second sensor on the exhaust on the front bank towards the radiator. First things first erase the code and see if it comes back. If it does you’ll want a capable scan tool to view the freeze frame data to see if your voltage on the O2 sensor went over 1 volts or not
    1
  22362. Hi! Clean your mass air flow first.
    1
  22363. Hi! You can by manually entering the information and just before you connect tap the start button this will wake up certain computers. You won’t be able to reset the smart key system and register new keys unless you have an account and you are a shop. If you are you can get an account at techinfo.Toyota.com but it’s a bit more complicated than just setting up an account and paying for it
    1
  22364. Likely open circuit somewhere or a faulty sensor
    1
  22365. I am not aware of such issues. Perhaps you were reading on the fuel pump recall?
    1
  22366. Hi! The FXS is the hybrid variant which is very similar to the non hybrid variant FKS
    1
  22367. Hi! I haven’t seen issues with the A25A-FXS yet. Did they specify any issues?
    1
  22368. Hi! These are normal readings and nothing to worry about. Some fluctuations are normal
    1
  22369. Hi! Depends how much negative and positive. Do you have the actual values?
    1
  22370. Hi! I am using the latest version I think 15.30.027. Some of the older versions didn’t work on the newer cars with can also your cable has limitation. Which cable are you using?
    1
  22371. Hi! Not really
    1
  22372. Shop vac air into the exhaust works but plugging the exhaust tip with the car running works better!
    1
  22373. Hi! It could be an issue with the vent on the evaporative emission system.
    1
  22374. That’s still normal and within specs
    1
  22375. Hi! I would give it a few minutes especially in cold weather. Waiting for the idle to settle is ideal
    1
  22376. I have no information on the civic but a corolla non hybrid would make a good drivers Ed car as it’s small and easy to drive
    1
  22377. Hi! It doesn’t have 1st gear
    1
  22378. Hi! The transmission is not a conventional cvt. It’s completely different. The CT and the corolla hybrid will have a similar transmission
    1
  22379. At the current generation it’s not
    1
  22380. It is
    1
  22381. Hi! One has egr and one doesn’t. One is Atkinson cycle and the other isn’t
    1
  22382. I’m glad she’s ok
    1
  22383. Hi! Will need to hear the sound to be able to give you an idea
    1
  22384. It’s a good car. Planning to do a similar review
    1
  22385. Some viewers from Europe have mentioned that you might have a 2.0 for the hybrid model
    1
  22386. I haven’t seen 2021 or 2022 with squeaky pedals yet
    1
  22387. Hi! I would use Toyota CVT fluid.
    1
  22388. On which model?
    1
  22389. Trying to get one for the review. I’m hoping soon
    1
  22390. https://youtu.be/9GWKBbEMCC4
    1
  22391. It’s expensive part wise not labor wise
    1
  22392. The 1.8 might be slightly simpler to diy
    1
  22393. Hi! You’ll need to possibly modify the wiring
    1
  22394. Similar yes
    1
  22395. Hi! That is likely normal. Some have had concerns over this but it’s normal
    1
  22396. Hold the cams and pull the chain. Pull the tensioner slowly and don’t let it rock the chain
    1
  22397. Hi Rodel. If the size of the car fits your needs that is a good car to buy
    1
  22398. Hi! Yes similar design transmission
    1
  22399. Hi! Check the ground by the battery first. Clean it and the area where it connects and see if it improves
    1
  22400. Hi! They are basically the same model with not much changes
    1
  22401. Hi! Contact Toyota directly and have them inspect it
    1
  22402. Hi! Yes they are!
    1
  22403. I would bring it up to the dealership on the clutch noise. It’s not an issue but more of a bother and since you have warranty why not fix it
    1
  22404. Depends on your needs honestly
    1
  22405. Hi! Looking forward to it but there’s no real technical information publicly available at the moment. When it is I’ll share them
    1
  22406. So I hear. I’m trying to get a honda hybrid to review for the second channel
    1
  22407. Hi! Honestly o don’t have experience with the insight
    1
  22408. Hi! Timing chains typically last the life of the engine with good mainrenanve
    1
  22409. If it gets very loud and happens everytime you start the car then take care of it and it’s just the gears
    1
  22410. Ahh I didn’t catch that part. Never mind on the alternator. Hard to tell without hearing it if it happens at speed
    1
  22411. Hi! I wouldn’t replace anything else at the same time honestly. And the noise disconnect the connector on the alternator and see if it goes away
    1
  22412. Hi! Is there water inside the car on the carpet?
    1
  22413. They can be removed easily! Have a good day
    1
  22414. Hi! It would be interesting to see one. I don’t know of any future plans for the corolla honestly
    1
  22415. Hi! This will need diagnosis in person. Have you compared to it to another similar model?
    1
  22416. The Camry SE overall will be nicer honestly. The Prius gets better gas mileage but 47 is not bad at all
    1
  22417. Hi! I’d say a Prius and a sequoia. Pretty much opposite vehicles. One is the ultimate fuel efficient car. And the sequoia is the largest one but is also terrible on gas
    1
  22418. Hi! Every door on every car on the road has water going inside of it but it drains out.
    1
  22419. Hi! It’s a good model to buy if the one you’re looking at is in good condition
    1
  22420. Hi! Which trim corolla do you have?
    1
  22421. Hi! It is resolved from the factory for 2022
    1
  22422. I can see the RAV4 prime MSRP because the gain over a standard hybrid is a lot
    1
  22423. Hi! Honestly in that cold weather you’ll want to let it warm up longer. The insulation will not help with that.
    1
  22424. Hi! Both models are good. It simply comes down to your needs. Do you think you will need an suv? Or the corolla size is good?
    1
  22425. Hi! Don’t worry. Was the antenna damaged by a hit or it just broke?
    1
  22426. Hi Peter. Tough question. If you want the ultimate efficiently I would go with the hybrid
    1
  22427. The corolla hybrid in the us doesn’t have d4s
    1
  22428. Possibly a sequoia but it can be too big.
    1
  22429. They have spin on filters since some 2016 models and 2017 and up
    1
  22430. Hi! Other than replacing the whole radio with an aftermarket unit there’s no way with the original radio
    1
  22431. Hi! Unfortunately no. The model needs to be equipped with apple CarPlay
    1
  22432. Hi! I would stick with the recommended fuel for your model
    1
  22433. Hi! Things might be different in Europe as far as trims but usually the higher trims will come with remote start
    1
  22434. Hi! Your car needs to have apple CarPlay via wire for this to work
    1
  22435. Hi! It would need to be aftermarket
    1
  22436. Hi! That could be normal.
    1
  22437. Hi! It could be the same but honestly I wouldn’t risk it.
    1
  22438. Thanks! I’ll check it out
    1
  22439. Hi! It’s a comma AI. Review coming soon
    1
  22440. Hi! Cost is usually the biggest thing. Newer models will start coming out with wireless from the factory
    1
  22441. Hi! I don’t at the moment
    1
  22442. Hi! Yes it does
    1
  22443. Hi! I haven’t tried it on a 2021 tacoma but if you have apple CarPlay it should work
    1
  22444. This was the last video with this microphone. It died immediately after this video. New one is in and working for future videos. Thanks for the heads up
    1
  22445. Hi! It’s possible to do if you just want to charge them but communication wise it’s not as it needs a dedicated port for each device
    1
  22446. Hi! Just check the fluid level when you reach the temperature
    1
  22447. Hi! Unfortunately no. Your car has to be able to do a wired apple CarPlay connection
    1
  22448. Hi! This one is 3.0. Hear you on the JBL but it’s better than the non JBL
    1
  22449. Hi! On some models apple CarPlay can be added. Android auto cannot for the early years
    1
  22450. Hi’ not this one. There’s another one for android auto but I haven’t tested it
    1
  22451. Hi! Email with the subject Chicago service request
    1
  22452. Hi! The 2006 is a good year to buy. Still inspect the car even with low mileage to make sure it was taken care of
    1
  22453. Hi! Thank you for watching my video. I am not familiar with the corolla verso. Does it look similar?
    1
  22454. Hi! There’s a kit made by Toyota to clean the hvac box through the water drain
    1
  22455. I wouldn’t worry about the leak then. I would just keep an eye on fluid levels
    1
  22456. Hi! If the car otherwise is in good shape that’s not too much work
    1
  22457. Thanks!
    1
  22458. Hi! Yes email me with the subject Chicago service request
    1
  22459. Yes sir. I would spray the joints periodically with wd40 to keep them from seizing up
    1
  22460. Hi Eduardo! Thank you for watching my channel. That issue is possible and is not as common as others and has more to do with maintenance sometimes. Do you have that issue with your van?
    1
  22461. Likely it’s an ABS actuator. Randomly they tend to fail internally where they would stick and when they unstick they’d give that spongy pedal feel.
    1
  22462. Depending on your budget. Are you looking for a newer one or an older one?
    1
  22463. Hi! Likely the rear latch. There’s a special policy on this if you’re in the US. Contact your dealership as they may cover it for free
    1
  22464. Hi! Check the ECTS 10A fuse
    1
  22465. Hi! I wouldn’t try it on spark plugs as they end up inside the engine
    1
  22466. Thanks man!
    1
  22467. Hey Al! Hope you’re doing well my brother!
    1
  22468. Hi! Which year, model and engine of the Toyota that you have with p0171?
    1
  22469. Hi! Brake cleaner seems to be one that really damages O2 sensors. Most fuel additives will be safe for o2 sensors and will usually state that on the product informatiin
    1
  22470. Thank you!
    1
  22471. Could you record a video and upload it so I can listen to it?
    1
  22472. Hi! When does it do that?
    1
  22473. Yes. Fuel trims will change rapidly when you rev up the engine and when you’re driving. They are best observed when the car is in closed loop and idling
    1
  22474. On techstream you cannot. You’d need specialized software to do that. Most of this is fixed and at least on the dealership level can’t be changed or accessed. Aftermarket it’s possible to do but then you’re into the territory of emissions violations
    1
  22475. Hi! Do you mean if you can change it?
    1
  22476. I would try to find a code reader and get codes
    1
  22477. Hi! Interesting. Do you have an OBD2 code reader? Check the codes let’s see what’s going on
    1
  22478. Hi! Don’t worry about 1604. Erase it and you’re good. This code comes up everytime you disconnect the battery and reconnect it
    1
  22479. Hi! Typically they’ll cycle around 3.3 volts when the engine is running at idle. Don’t attempt to diagnose them while driving or revving the engine up as they’ll be all over the place
    1
  22480. On most modern toyotas there’s 1 O2 sensor and 1 AF sensor per bank. Some of the older ones had 1 AF sensor per bank but has 1 O2 sensor for each bank
    1
  22481. Hi! Typically if there’s no trouble codes I see no reason to replace or service them.
    1
  22482. Hi! No it means your engine is running lean on bank one. The air fuel ratio sensor could be one of the many reasons that the car is running lean but it’s something that needs diagnosis
    1
  22483. Hi! So the sensors don’t have an interval of replacement. If there are no codes I wouldn’t worry about them.
    1
  22484. Hi! You can but the readings are usually inaccurate and all over the place
    1
  22485. That is correct.
    1
  22486. Hi! Which code do you have?
    1
  22487. Hi! I am backed up on emails. It will take me sometime to get back to you. If you have something urgent replay here and I’ll do my best to help
    1
  22488. Hi! No. Only if they have issues
    1
  22489. They can last the life of the car. If they’re working and not setting codes then they’re good and I would consider replacing them
    1
  22490. Which one?
    1
  22491. I would need to listen to the noise to know for sure. But if it’s the common light whine noise they make it would last sometime before there are issues. But I would check the transmission fluid level because another thing that makes them whine is low fluid level
    1
  22492. Hi! Which model and year is this transmission in?
    1
  22493. Agreed!
    1
  22494. Hi! Which code do you havev
    1
  22495. Is it a denso from a reputable seller? As it could Be a fake. Another thing is the wiring. Anything damaged?
    1
  22496. Hi. What is the brand of the sensor that you used?
    1
  22497. Hi! Either high temp anti seize or white lithium grease also works well. And more importantly clean the hub and the inside of the wheel with a brush.
    1
  22498. Hi! You can look at their impedance with the scan tool
    1
  22499. Hi! The Tacoma is almost identical size wise with the hilux perhaps a tad bigger. The tundra is a lot bigger than the hilux
    1
  22500. Hi! So far no news on that. If anything perhaps a dynamic force 4 cylinder could be the new one
    1
  22501. Hi! If you have issues with them then yes otherwise I wouldn’t go heavy handed on it
    1
  22502. Hi! No it’s been the same name since day one
    1
  22503. Hi! The truck in the video is not mine. It’s a 2019.
    1
  22504. Hi! They didn’t issue a recall on this but they improved the part. So after replacement of the old design you shouldn’t have issues
    1
  22505. Hi! You can use 80w90 or 75w90 without issues
    1
  22506. Hi! They typically don’t cause damage or issues
    1
  22507. Hi! It is close to a 4runner but exactly the same as a Lexus GX
    1
  22508. Hi! What year is your wife’s rav4?
    1
  22509. It’s around a $100 a pound
    1
  22510. Actuating it frequently will significantly increase the life of these electrical actuators. More on that in part 3 of this series
    1
  22511. Hi! I’d need to see the paint condition to know what’s wrong with it. But there are some known issues with the super white color on previous years. The yellow stains could be rail dust look into it first. I work at a dealership in the Chicago suburbs
    1
  22512. Hi! That’s for emissions as well. The throttle controller is safe
    1
  22513. Hi! You can use synthetic oil
    1
  22514. If your interior lights are working then the fuse is fine.
    1
  22515. Hi! You’ll need to replace the shifter bulb. It’s not a 194 it’s a smaller bulb
    1
  22516. Hi! You mean the variable compressors without a magnetic clutch?
    1
  22517. That’s the surge of the switch between injection modes. I am not aware of updates for those
    1
  22518. Hi! The 2.0 doesn’t have carbon build up issues
    1
  22519. Hi! The 4runner will have a slight edge on reliability as it’s truly ancient on every aspect. The Tacoma will have a very slight edge with features but not a big one.
    1
  22520. Likely not unless enough people complain about it leaking.
    1
  22521. Hi! It is similar yes
    1
  22522. Ok could you by any chance film a video so I can hear it?
    1
  22523. Hi! How many miles and what year?
    1
  22524. Hi’ first replacement at 100k miles or 5 years then every 50k miles or 5 years
    1
  22525. Hi! The sequoia doesn’t have an exact match on the Lexus side. The closest thing is the LX but it’s closer to a land cruiser than a sequoia
    1
  22526. Hi! The fact that this issue stopped after 2017 tells me something changed. There’s no official information to confirm it
    1
  22527. Hi! Purchase a days pass at techinfo.Toyota.com to get access to the repair manual with all information that you need.
    1
  22528. Hi! Still the same but improved the rear bypass pipe.
    1
  22529. Hi! Not identical here’s a review for the one in the highlander https://youtu.be/PL1h0IKtMjQ
    1
  22530. Just clean the throttle body and drive it
    1
  22531. Hi! For your corolla I would wait until 60k miles or 6 years for the transmission. For the extended warranty if it’s a good price it should be good
    1
  22532. Hi! The problem is you can’t really reach it.
    1
  22533. Hi! On the Venza a general inspection is a good idea. They’re generally good cars. Check it for leaks especially the engine and rear differential if it’s AWD. Also check the tires. They can be a bit expensive
    1
  22534. Hi! Not easily and likely not worth the investment as it will be very big
    1
  22535. Good to know I’ll give it a shot next time. Pulling the cab is not bad. Kinda used to doing that after doing the frames
    1
  22536. Hi! Similar but not exactly the same. Here’s a link for the engine in the Camry https://youtu.be/PL1h0IKtMjQ
    1
  22537. That is the block number. Depending on the year the dealership could look up the original engine number or block number
    1
  22538. Hi! There’s a VIN number plate on the engine if memory serves right either around the bell housing area or more towards the front of the block. If it matches the original vin then it’s the original engine
    1
  22539. Hi! Most of the ones I’ve had were lower mileage less than 60k one was 11k miles
    1
  22540. Hi! You can but 0w20 is preferred
    1
  22541. Yes it does.
    1
  22542. Yes it is
    1
  22543. High demand low supply. Also the transition is making things even slower.
    1
  22544. Not that I am aware of
    1
  22545. Hi! Iridium plugs every 60k miles
    1
  22546. They might look the same but these engines can be different internally. Follow the oil weight recommended in your owners manual for your region
    1
  22547. Not all of them do. The ones with secondary air injection like the GX460 and others will. That is a programmed run of the pump to clear any debris out
    1
  22548. Coming up
    1
  22549. Hi! What year and model GS?
    1
  22550. Hi! This means that the fluid level was very low before hand. You’ll want to keep adding with the engine running in park until it overflows
    1
  22551. I honestly wouldn’t. They not a normally replaced item. If you are doing the work yourself sure there’s no harm replacing it but from experience I tell you there’s no benefit either.
    1
  22552. Lol sorry I’m in Chicago
    1
  22553. I would
    1
  22554. Hi! When the light comes on shift the car in park and adjust the fluid. And every 60k miles is a good interval. The cvt transmission does have a valve body and a filter. Typically filters last the life of the transmission if the fluid is replaced at a good interval
    1
  22555. Hi! For hybrids this procedure doesn’t apply. It’s actually much simpler just drain and fill until it overflows
    1
  22556. Hi! A flush is ok if it’s followed by a fluid level check. Some dealerships do a drain and fill and some do a flush. You can request either.
    1
  22557. Most dealerships will charge around 200-300 dollars for this.
    1
  22558. Hi! It works but if you did all that you might as well check the fluid level and be 100% sure.
    1
  22559. Hi! Should be around 99-114
    1
  22560. Angelo Campana thank you! Its in the plans to bring a hybrid maintenance series including the hybrid transmission fluid change!
    1
  22561. It might be car specific.
    1
  22562. What year corolla?
    1
  22563. Thank you for your comment. While the exact reasons are unknown but the common reasons are to prevent tempering with the fluid by inexperienced owners. The process to replace the fluid and check the level is not hard but is not meant for non diy mechanics.
    1
  22564. Hi! You’ll need to watch the temp from sensor 1. It’ll usually be called ATF temp 1
    1
  22565. Hi don! If you are in the Chicago area I can.
    1
  22566. You can’t access the sump from the fill hole.
    1
  22567. Hi! Driving on sport mode is ok just don’t push the car too much every single day
    1
  22568. How many miles do you have?
    1
  22569. Hi. I wouldn’t attempt this procedure on your Tucson without consulting the repair Manual for that model. This information is for Toyota and Lexus only
    1
  22570. Email for information
    1
  22571. Some Lexus models are different than Toyota models and some of them are identical. But overall they are very similar and really a dressed up Toyota.
    1
  22572. I would take it back to them as that trans is a bit different.
    1
  22573. Another awesome suggestion! Thank you Ahmad!
    1
  22574. The temp range is 95-113 F
    1
  22575. Hi! At 80k either is good.
    1
  22576. You’re still within time to replace the fluid
    1
  22577. Hi! Unless the fluid was not replace on time then the filter doesn’t need to be replaced
    1
  22578. Hi! Engine running and in park
    1
  22579. Hi! Every 60k or 6 years is a safe replacement interval you can go 30k if you’d like
    1
  22580. The car was cold in the video. You did remove the overflow tube as shown in the video correct?
    1
  22581. This is a very simple process that doesn’t take more than 10 minutes. So yes as long as it’s a good mechanic that know what they’re doing you can trust them to do this process
    1
  22582. You should have transmission lines or at least a heat exchanger on the side of the transmission is that not the case?
    1
  22583. You can but really will not gain anything as the filters rarely if ever get dirty and the magnet will have some material but most of it is from when the transmission is new and will just stay there
    1
  22584. Hi! It should be the same yes
    1
  22585. Hi! The temp gun is close within 5 degrees. Most reliable is the jumper method or a scan tool. Jumper method is free as well
    1
  22586. The procedure will work on your 2007 Camry. It will use the D light bulb. When the light is off it’s too cold wait. When the D light comes on when you’re in park it means you’re at temperature and you should adjust the fluid. If the light start flashing or blinking I means the fluid is too hot shut off the car and let it cool down and start again.
    1
  22587. Hi! Email with the subject Chicago service request to thecarcarenut@gmail.com
    1
  22588. If it’s a 4 cylinder 95-113 if it’s a V6 then 104-113
    1
  22589. That’s up to you. I see your point but I still check it to be on the safe side.
    1
  22590. That could work but how do you know you had the correct level to begin with?
    1
  22591. It’s the same procedure and the temp is 95-113
    1
  22592. Yes
    1
  22593. Hi Joseph! No the calibrations are only needed when you service the valve body.
    1
  22594. So you’d want to tighten it by hand and not tight. Just spin it until it stops. If it keeps spinning and never stop or goes through likely either the tube itself is damaged or something is wrong with the pan.
    1
  22595. Hi! The overflow tube will tighten until it stops. Did it not stop? Or it just kept spinning?
    1
  22596. Hi! Happy new year! Your Camry hybrid transmission is easier than this procedure. It’s a simple drain and fill until it overflows. You’ll need 2 washers for the drain and fill plugs and around 5 quarts of Toyota ws fluid
    1
  22597. Every 60-90k miles
    1
  22598. Hi! 95-114
    1
  22599. Hi! Yes it’s similar but the newer models the jumper wire won’t work, you’ll need a scan tool
    1
  22600. Hi! If the light comes on for 2 seconds then goes off put the car in park pull the jumper cables and leave it running until it comes in solid then adjust the fluid level
    1
  22601. Hi david. Let me ask you this. Which model do you have?
    1
  22602. Thank you for watching my video. Yes this will work for your 2016 highlander
    1
  22603. I would check the transmission fluid level afterwards.
    1
  22604. Sorry Martin could you send me an email so I won’t overlook this? I can’t get the information right now but later on I can send me an email
    1
  22605. That’s going to depend on the car. What model and year do you have?
    1
  22606. It keeps the transmission from getting too cold in cold climate. Basically like a thermostat for the transmission
    1
  22607. You’d get an incorrect fluid level after doing the procedure
    1
  22608. Hi! The whining issues with the 8 speed are on 2017 models. Your sienna doesn’t have that transmission. Did you ever notice the whining noise? How loud is it?
    1
  22609. Hi! You are likely going to need around 3-4 quarts. I would get 5 to be on the safe side. The transfer case has separate fluid than the transmission if your car is AWD. The transfer case and rear differential take gear oil. The 7.1 quarts is total capacity. You’re only draining and filling the pan.
    1
  22610. Hi! It’s exactly the same process as the one in this video
    1
  22611. Without driving the car myself I couldn’t be sure. But try to clean the throttle body first.
    1
  22612. Hi! It’s different on hybrids just a drain and fill. See this video For hybrids https://youtu.be/I1fP-RKsqG0
    1
  22613. Hi Ismail. Yes it does have the same setup exactly like the camry
    1
  22614. Hi! I work on Toyota professionally and here’s my opinion from real world experience. If you change the transmission fluid every 60k miles (100k kms) or 6 years you don’t have to replace the transmission fluid.
    1
  22615. Hi! At the moment the Carista app does not read the transmission temperature
    1
  22616. Hi! It has to be in
    1
  22617. That’s too high. Unless the fluids been replaced regularly I would leave it alone
    1
  22618. Hi Amedeo! So regarding your garage floor if it’s very sloped that would be a problem but it’s somewhat flat but not 100% that’s ok. Also the jumper wire can be any multi strand piece of wire that you can buy at any auto parts store
    1
  22619. Habit and a bad one. Most if not all information on my channel applies to Lexus as well.
    1
  22620. You could if the fluid level you started with was correct. But if you’ve done all that might as well just finish the job and set the fluid level and be 100% done with the job.
    1
  22621. I wouldn’t recommend you do this a lot. The amount of transmission fluid you get out of a drain and fill is sufficient to refresh the fluid. Just checking the level to make sure it’s 100% right is recommended
    1
  22622. At this point I would leave it alone. It’s a risk to change it and might make things worse honestly
    1
  22623. Hi! If there’s contamination or issues beyond the regular fluid changes. Was the transmission fluid changed every 60k miles on your sienna?
    1
  22624. Hi! Depends on the model
    1
  22625. Hi! You’ll need a machine that exchanges the fluid through the cooler lines
    1
  22626. You can but make sure you’re in the temp range as you might get there very quickly
    1
  22627. I haven’t seen one come apart yet
    1
  22628. Hi! If the fluid is changed on time and is not dirty the filter replacement is not needed
    1
  22629. Hi! Flushes are ok if followed by a fluid level check. This procedure applies to 2016 tundras but those might have the cooler bypass on the side of the transmission
    1
  22630. Hi! When you initially filled it. Did you cycle the fluid through? Like go to drive and reverse back and forth to cycle the fluid?
    1
  22631. Hi! I don’t have that exact model here but it should work
    1
  22632. Hi! How many miles does the car have? And did the mechanic check the transmission fluid level after he changed it?
    1
  22633. Hi! That’s actually a normal behavior. It’s trying to go to a lower ratio to help with engine braking.
    1
  22634. Hi! Should be around 99-115
    1
  22635. Hi! Replace it around 100k kms or 6 years
    1
  22636. Hi! You need to flip the picture and make sure you get the right Terminals
    1
  22637. Hi! They will have the same temp which is 95-114
    1
  22638. Hi! Oil pump is noisy on this engine.
    1
  22639. Hi! The old version of this engine is in the 15 prerunner
    1
  22640. Hi! What’s the location?
    1
  22641. Rent one for a few days and you’ll fall in love! Happened to me with the one I got to film this series
    1
  22642. Hi! I would recommend them as they’re awesome! If you like the truck that is
    1
  22643. You should be able to easily get into the 200k miles. I’ve seen many examples with over 300k miles
    1
  22644. Hard to tell exactly in miles
    1
  22645. Hi! These engines have very little issues and can really last a very long time
    1
  22646. That’s a normal characteristic of the 1GR engine
    1
  22647. If it’s a very loud pitch and heard it might be be an issue that can be fixed. However if you’re out of warranty it can get expensive and in that case I wouldn’t worry about it unless it gets very loud
    1
  22648. Hi! Yes they are
    1
  22649. Hi! Send me an email with the subject Chicago service request
    1
  22650. Hi! 2019 has a new engine. 2009-2018 has a similar engine design
    1
  22651. Thank you for your feedback! 2 parts of this series I had issues with the camera and then fixed it in the later parts.
    1
  22652. The 4Runner engine is more reliable. The 5.7 is very reliable as well but the 4.0 is more reliable
    1
  22653. It should be similar to a fortuner?
    1
  22654. Since it’s not an official accessory from Toyota any issues caused by the kit would void the warranty.
    1
  22655. Hi! It seems to be a legit kit however it will of course affect reliability and require more maintenance
    1
  22656. Glad everyone was safe!
    1
  22657. Hi! Permanent codes are not an issue it will go away on its own. The other code you need to erase. The issue was likely the battery that you’ve replaced
    1
  22658. Hi! The engine is noisy in 4runners and that’s normal. Nothing to worry about! Congratulations on your purchase!
    1
  22659. Hi! These are really good trucks other than rust. If it’s not rusty just keep up the maintenance
    1
  22660. Hear hear! They’re very expensive
    1
  22661. Hi! The 1GR is the engine in the 4Runner. It got updated in 2010 using components from the 2GR which is an engine found in other models like Camry highlander Venza sienna...etc
    1
  22662. Not much has changed.
    1
  22663. Hi! On this engine mostly for fuel economy
    1
  22664. I address the brakes in a separate part of this series.
    1
  22665. They’re both similar reliability wise in my opinion. The 2UZ has more maintenance needs with the timing belt
    1
  22666. Hi! The timing chain is not serviceable and will last the life of the car with good maintenance.
    1
  22667. Hi! Because they realized that fuel filters caused more issues than good honestly. Toyota has been without serviceable fuel filter for a very long time and not a single issue
    1
  22668. Welcome!
    1
  22669. Hi! You want to drive the car, warm it up then shut it off and wait for 1 minute then check the level
    1
  22670. Very true!
    1
  22671. No 0w20 is the least
    1
  22672. Hi! On the engine in your 4Runner you can go as high as 5w30 without issues
    1
  22673. This engine actually can run perfectly fine on 5w30 however the 0w20 works better with the variable valve timing in cold climates and gets better gas mileage
    1
  22674. Hi! The computer will easily override the shift you’re in. So if you’re in 5th and the rpm goes too low or you press the gas far it will downshift and that’s normal. Toyotas always been safe about their manual shifting where it will override your choice to keep things protected
    1
  22675. I haven’t seen a single updated 1GR with a head gasket issue. The old one did have some head gasket issues but not the new one
    1
  22676. Thank you for watching Steve!
    1
  22677. Hi! Likely for cost. However if you never over tighten the filter housing it shouldn’t have an issue.
    1
  22678. Honestly they are all the same. The 2020 and up have some upgrades that might be worth it. 2014 and up has some visual changes
    1
  22679. Hi! They’re not common to wear and need adjustment. I’ve seen one only in my career that made rattling noises when cold that needed adjustment
    1
  22680. Hi! They’re not common to leak on 4runners but if they do they usually puddle up on top of the power steering pump
    1
  22681. Hi! It’s not ideal if it’s repeated daily but once in awhile shouldn’t be an issue
    1
  22682. I hope not many Changes!
    1
  22683. Hi! It could be a panel causing the noise. Try to put your hand on the panels around the steering wheel to find the source of the noise
    1
  22684. Hi! I’m working on having that video for January!
    1
  22685. Zero EV range on the screen doesn’t equal zero actual state of charge. So you’d want the battery charged for the hybrid side of things but not EV range. And I’m exclusively talking about Toyota plug in hybrids not 100% EV cars.
    1
  22686. Filling the tank is ok.
    1
  22687. I don’t disagree. But I do agree with toyotas direct recommendation to leave the EV range depleted when in storage
    1
  22688. 0% EV range is not 0% charge....
    1
  22689. Hi! Likely in this case you’re good as that’s not really long term storage. But a battery maintainer could be a good idea if you notice your battery going dead.
    1
  22690. You could but for most people that’s a hassle.
    1
  22691. Thank you for the video suggestion!
    1
  22692. Hi! No need to worry about anything for the computers in your car. When you're back in spring, start the car let it run for a bit then take it for a good 20-30 minute drive at speeds around 35-40mph and that should reset everything. You might have to set the clock again and set your radio station presets but that's about it.
    1
  22693. Very good point! Thank you Willem!
    1
  22694. Hi! Undercoating is good for cars in the rust belt. Newer cars that are covered up pretty good it won’t be as much. Toyota truck frames especially could use undercoating to protect them.
    1
  22695. Hi! In reality you can never charge the battery to actual 100% it’s always limited to certain percentage internally but on the screen it will show 100%. Using the engine you can only charge it to 100% as nelio said.
    1
  22696. I hear you! That’s a long wait! Hopefully you’ll get it soon!
    1
  22697. I will have to look into that
    1
  22698. It will go into EV mode here and there but not from a complete stop.
    1
  22699. Hi! You can use a standard plug in your house doesn’t have to be dedicated
    1
  22700. Hi! Not really. It’s almost identical to the regular 3rd gen prius
    1
  22701. Ok I would wait and see if it ever stops working again and go from there
    1
  22702. Is this the first time you charge it?
    1
  22703. How often is the time between charges?
    1
  22704. Metz Matu it shouldn’t need flushing yearly. If the system is sealed and has no leaks it should be good
    1
  22705. Hi Eric! Thank you for watching my channel! I have a video for the common problems with the current generation tundra did you see that one?
    1
  22706. Hi! It’s a bit different on the prime
    1
  22707. Hi! You can but the back seat bottom might be an issue as there’s the charger and DC/DC converter underneath the back seat
    1
  22708. Hi! It’s not recommended to leave the HV battery fully charged and idling like that. Also I wouldn’t recommend leaving the car plugged in when you’re away for a month or two.
    1
  22709. Hi Mathhias. Thank you for your comment. My videos are usually prioritized by viewer request. I try to mix it up for everyone but if you have specific video requests or topics please post them and you’ll see them. Thank you.
    1
  22710. Likely not easy to repair in case of an accident
    1
  22711. Hi! You’re not damaging the battery but I would still utilize the charging schedule to optimize the life of the battery
    1
  22712. Thank you Marjan!
    1
  22713. Congratulations!
    1
  22714. Honestly that I wouldn’t know
    1
  22715. Ok I’ll rephrase that. The cord that comes with the car is only rated for 110 use. In order to charge at 220 you’ll need a wall charger which comes with its own cable.
    1
  22716. They’re all the same honestly. I wouldn’t pick one year over the other
    1
  22717. No information on this one honestly. Toyota is very secretive about their future cars
    1
  22718. Hi! It’s not recommended during hard rain
    1
  22719. Hi! You still do need to change it at a similar interval
    1
  22720. Water gets into the battery and causes fault codes and could damage the battery
    1
  22721. I haven’t seen issues yet. It’s not directly behind the opening so it might be ok
    1
  22722. From what I’ve seen it’s not listed but I’ll keep digging
    1
  22723. You can leave it uncharged
    1
  22724. No specific reason I can find. Possibly cost has to do with it
    1
  22725. Hi! Did you try to reset the mpg counter?
    1
  22726. Hi! It’s possible and would make a lot of sense
    1
  22727. Hi! A kill switch or alarm would work better
    1
  22728. Hi! Thank you for watching. Could you elaborate further? I didn’t understand your question. Are you trying to replace a 4th generation smart key battery?
    1
  22729. Hi! No it’s not possible unless you use the mechanical key. Once the engine start all locking with the smart key is disabled until you shut it off
    1
  22730. Hi! Likely a weak battery on the fob. Can easily be replaced and it should work
    1
  22731. Hi! Honestly that depends on the dealership. They are quickly approaching $200 in Chicago area
    1
  22732. It won’t shut off at all. It’ll just beep that the key is not detected
    1
  22733. Hi! It doesn’t shut off after 10 minutes of initially detecting the key. I said 10 seconds
    1
  22734. Hi! Yes most models 7 some are 5
    1
  22735. Hi! As long as the recently added key was programmed as a master key you can use it to add another
    1
  22736. It shouldn’t be an issue
    1
  22737. Hi! Either a dealership or a good locksmith. The key will need to be bought from the dealership and either programmed by them or a locksmith
    1
  22738. Hi! So far no news on this and which cars are compatible
    1
  22739. The 2 lines one for the port side one for the direct you’ll need to follow one of them to find which is which. There’s no single relay to disconnect to disable the pump I would just run a hose from the line back to the filler neck to be safe.
    1
  22740. Hi! The port injectors can be cleaned normally using a solution that runs through the line but the direct injectors I wouldn’t clean
    1
  22741. That’s possible. Do you have another key? Does it do the same?
    1
  22742. Hi’ unfortunately no. The major cost is the key itself
    1
  22743. Keys don’t wear as fast. I would get a new key
    1
  22744. Could you elaborate further?
    1
  22745. They could add room mode in the future like the RAV4 prime which essentially turns it into a room where you can turn on the ac while it’s plugged in and use all the accessories off of the outlet
    1
  22746. Hi! There’s a button inside the glove box. Was that turned off by any chance?
    1
  22747. Could you explain that a bit more. So you have a key from another car, does it turn in the ignition of your current car?
    1
  22748. Interesting. I haven’t seen this one.
    1
  22749. That’s possible. Did the new key with chip has a dot?
    1
  22750. Hi! There should be one behind the vent on the drivers side of the back seat
    1
  22751. Hi! It’s not possible to install smart key in a no smart key Toyota unfortunately
    1
  22752. Hi! Open the glovebox you’ll see a small button press it and see if it works
    1
  22753. Question on your key. Does the Toyota logo has a silver color or it’s black?
    1
  22754. Hi! Any chance the button to cancel the smart key is pushed by accident? It’s right underneath the steering column
    1
  22755. It’s possible if the battery goes low that it wouldn’t keep it alive to preserve the battery
    1
  22756. That’s how they’re designed. The ones with smart key you won’t even be able to turn the ignition on. But the ones with a mechanical key you’ll be able to crank the engine but it won’t start
    1
  22757. It will crank but won’t start
    1
  22758. Hi! Usually a sticky lock.
    1
  22759. Hi! It is reliable in the long run.
    1
  22760. Hi! It should give you a message when the battery is weak.
    1
  22761. Hi! You can make a copy of the key separately than the smart key. No rush in doing this as the dealership can make a copy even if you don’t have the original. Only way to change mph to Kms is to change the cluster itselg
    1
  22762. Hi! Unfortunately both cars have different generations and won’t program to each other
    1
  22763. The silver tag is the number you use to cut keys not a pin of any sort. Now sure what the tool is referring to by pin. I would contact the manufacturer of the tool
    1
  22764. Hi! Which scan tool are you using?
    1
  22765. The smart key system for the most part is problem free.
    1
  22766. They could for the keys.
    1
  22767. Hi! That’s not an option available from the factory setup
    1
  22768. Hi! It’s not a direct bolt on for the wiring. I would look for a company that takes your original steering wheel and add the wood finish to it
    1
  22769. 10 mm screw and the handle comes loose then disconnect the cable. Not hard at all
    1
  22770. There’s no function to cancel the inside handle short of disconnecting it
    1
  22771. Hi! Do you have a key slot on the trunk?
    1
  22772. Hi! It will beep but not shut off. The reason is in case the battery in your key dies while you’re driving it wouldn’t shut off the car.
    1
  22773. Dealership can turn them off
    1
  22774. Hi! At this mileage if the transmission was never serviced I would leave it alone at this point
    1
  22775. Hi! Yes that is the same for Lexus as well.
    1
  22776. Hi! They should be weather proof but if they have mud on them it could interfere with the touch sensor
    1
  22777. Hi depends on what’s going on with it
    1
  22778. Using a scan tool they can know how many keys are currently programmed to the car
    1
  22779. If they do all the functions including the glovebox then that’s not a valet key
    1
  22780. Hi! It’s possible. The only way to know is to disconnect it when the key has an issue and see if the problem continues or goes away
    1
  22781. I’ve seen the bricked car situation after an amateur locksmith tried to program keys. Once you find a good locksmith that knows what they are doing stick with them. They are becoming harder to find but there’s still many locksmiths that have vast experience and know their trade well.
    1
  22782. Hi! It’s too long of time. I would just get another key
    1
  22783. Hi! They don’t have a long block in their parts catalog. The most you can get is a short block
    1
  22784. In the new highlander hybrid yes
    1
  22785. It’s not difficult to remove the intake manifold on this engine in the car
    1
  22786. Hi! I wouldn’t. Fix your head gasket by replacing the gaskets.
    1
  22787. Hi! Unknown still. No data was stored in the computer to show what happened
    1
  22788. Rep came by and did the case. Took a ton of pictures and they wanted everything back
    1
  22789. Hi! It does have a procedure with the scan tool
    1
  22790. Hi! Toyota doesn’t sell a complete engine assembled
    1
  22791. Yeah something was fishy with this one
    1
  22792. Yep that’s the life of a rental car
    1
  22793. If I remember correctly around 7k miles
    1
  22794. Hi! Toyota doesn’t sell a fully assembled new engine
    1
  22795. Hi! Warranty pays less than retail repair.
    1
  22796. You have 8 injectors total. 4 direct and 4 port
    1
  22797. Hi! Underneath the back seat
    1
  22798. Hi! Yes interference!
    1
  22799. Cant share a lot of the information on this honestly. The previous engines one had an accident that leaked all the oil. The other one was the wrong oil used and questionable break in period driving
    1
  22800. Hi! Exact reason is unknown at this point
    1
  22801. Unknown at this point but looking across the board likely operator abuse.
    1
  22802. Hi! Both filters are interchangeable. It does change the capacity very slightly because of the bigger filter but there’s no real advantage going with the bigger one but no harm either of course
    1
  22803. Hi! Yes this is an interference engine
    1
  22804. You don’t really need to change it unless there’s an issue with it
    1
  22805. Yes!
    1
  22806. Yes they were! That was the first thing I noticed when I took it apart. One of them was fully intact the other was bent
    1
  22807. They do. 4 direct and 4 port
    1
  22808. Read your owners manual. If it doesn’t list anything other than 0w16 then use it regardless of climate
    1
  22809. Yes
    1
  22810. Techinfo.Toyota.com
    1
  22811. Unknown at this point
    1
  22812. Hi! They want their warranty to go through regular shelf parts. The only way to send a new factory engine is to pull one out of the factory which seems to be a hassle for them than just ordering parts and putting the engine together
    1
  22813. No carbon build up on this one
    1
  22814. Not clear at this point honestly. Misuse is possible but no information or way to prove it
    1
  22815. Hi! There’s always a slight smell of fuel. Is this car driven all short distances?
    1
  22816. Unfortunately the exact reason why it failed is not clear. Seen this with rental cars before, not on this engine but others so abuse is the only reason.
    1
  22817. Hi! Gasoline only and even hybrids have a mechanical oil pump. Some of them have electric water pumps like this engine but not oil pumps.
    1
  22818. I haven’t really looked inside a V35 yet.
    1
  22819. Unknown at this point honestly.
    1
  22820. Hi! On the exhaust side only
    1
  22821. So that’s the belt tensioner and it’s normal for it to vibrate or move as shown in the video. Nothing to worry about my brother. Check your tires and brakes and enjoy your vacation. Safe travels.
    1
  22822. To warn the driver when the oil level is low. Most people don’t check their oil level regularly
    1
  22823. Yes it does
    1
  22824. The Subaru Forester is a good car. Take care of it and it will take care of you 😀
    1
  22825. Congrats on the new car! Subaru?
    1
  22826. Hi! Honestly the 2022 technical information is not out to see if they can be fitted or not
    1
  22827. Hi! I always review new comments even on old videos :-) you can run your Prius through the car wash. Putting it in neutral for a short amount of time like the car wash is ok
    1
  22828. Hard to tell. Maybe a 3.5 V6 or a turbo 4 cylinder
    1
  22829. Hi! Is it a v6 or 4 cylinder
    1
  22830. They rarely do that. Usually they want to process things through available parts.
    1
  22831. Hi Kevin. Toyota doesn’t sell long blocks. Only a short block and then the rest of the individual parts.
    1
  22832. Hi! Best source is the repair manual through techinfo.Toyota.com
    1
  22833. Most modern engines are like this
    1
  22834. This is the only case like this that I’ve seen.
    1
  22835. Jose does Mercedes offer long blocks?
    1
  22836. Honestly if you change your oil on time you shouldn’t need an oil catch can on that engine that you have
    1
  22837. Hi! The highlander doesn’t have one.
    1
  22838. Always use your ac and as much as possible avoid parking the car in direct sun light on the very hot days.
    1
  22839. Hi! They are good cars in my opinion. An alternative suv to the rav4
    1
  22840. Just keep up the maintenance and you’re good
    1
  22841. Hi! It has a mechanical oil pump however it’s pressure is controlled electronically
    1
  22842. Hi! That one is actually made for Nissan. Search the part number which is J-47242 there are a few versions higher and lower I’ve used both and they both work well. There’s a blue one which is lower and the grey one is higher
    1
  22843. Unknown at this point
    1
  22844. Amen! Thank you my brother!
    1
  22845. MBs are nice to drive but can be nightmares to work on although this one has been great..... mainly because it has a warranty 😀
    1
  22846. Hi! You need an oil control valve for the affected side
    1
  22847. You bet! She’s the boss!
    1
  22848. That is very true! I do answer a lot of the same questions
    1
  22849. Congratulations Alex!
    1
  22850. It’s good. But I would buy specific power steering fluid as it has more additives
    1
  22851. She’s the boss man!
    1
  22852. Yep!
    1
  22853. Lol that was a joke for the video! It actually hasn’t moved since the last time I filmed the shop tour. Just cleaning around the engine bay and changing the air filters... I know it looks like a lot just to change air filters.
    1
  22854. Hi! The part no is 09228-06500-02
    1
  22855. It could be the temperature of the transmission was high. Did it happen again after the fluid was changed?
    1
  22856. Hi! Interesting as the AT light is usually for temperature. Is the weather hot and did this happen under towing?
    1
  22857. It’s a toy car!
    1
  22858. Hi! That’s an epoxy coating that was done by an awesome local company called Windy City coatings
    1
  22859. Hi! In this case I would consider changing the engine oil every 6 months as likely most of your trips are short
    1
  22860. Hi mark. On Toyota’s the maintenance light will flash at 4500 miles and come on at 5000 miles. It just counts miles and doesn’t rely on any other data.
    1
  22861. Hi! Some models had manufacturing issues. Not sure of honda but an example of that with Toyota is the 2.4L 2AZ-FE engine
    1
  22862. Yes! I would leave the car on or ready on and wait.
    1
  22863. When you are stopped in park and if the battery gets low the engine will start and charge the battery
    1
  22864. Hi! How much are you adding between oil changes?
    1
  22865. Hi! Same for hybrids
    1
  22866. Hi! Around 2007 on the 4 cylinders.
    1
  22867. Hi! I wouldn’t deviate from the recommendation. If the engine calls for synthetic oil, I would use synthetic. Usually the engines that call for synthetic has 0Wxx oils which are synthetic only
    1
  22868. Thank you for watching my video! The V6 doesn’t have oil burning issues at this moment.
    1
  22869. Hi! What color is the smoke? Hard to tell on camera? Do you have any coolant or oil loss?
    1
  22870. Honestly I think the dealership technicians are supposed to be professionals that do things right. I understand things happen because after all we are humans and not perfect but saying it’s ok and not an issue isn’t good. It should be perfect every time otherwise what’s the point of going to the dealership and paying top labor rates?
    1
  22871. That’s not right. If anything when cold it should show less than full so when the oil expands as it warms up it would then show full. I would talk to the dealership so they can make sure it’s not overfilled. It’s ok if they made a mistake once and corrected it but this can’t keep going like this.
    1
  22872. Hi! Question to you. When did you check the oil level? Was the engine hot or cold?
    1
  22873. Are you referring to the 2AZ-FE?
    1
  22874. Hi! Honestly other than drive it and check no, if it’s had good service history and you keep it up you shouldn’t have issues
    1
  22875. That’s normal for those models. They don’t go past that
    1
  22876. Hi! They will cover an oil change at 10k and 20k you’d need to pay for the rest
    1
  22877. Hi! Let me clarify something about that which is a misconception. Most Toyota models don’t have an oil level sensor they have a dipstick to check the oil level. The light on the dash is an oil pressure sensor. So as long as there’s pressure it’s off. When the oil gets low and it flickers that means you’re loosing oil pressure and that could happen for reasons other than oil level.
    1
  22878. Hi! I have a 2 part video on the dynamic force engine. Find it here https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeFzfl0Q8rQXfl21SFQukwySfQyNKYRiV
    1
  22879. The engine in your corolla generation is known for oil consumption
    1
  22880. Try an oil engine cleaner.
    1
  22881. That works.
    1
  22882. I wouldn’t and this is the exact scenario I talked about in the video. I would just change the oil every 5k or 6 months
    1
  22883. Hi! Do you mean a flashing check engine light?
    1
  22884. Synthetic 5w30 is good for your car.
    1
  22885. I would repeat it every 2-3 oil changes until the issue improves. Also change your pcv valve with an original pcv valve and see if that helps.
    1
  22886. Hi! More than likely they didn’t fill it to the correct level. Ask the dealership to check the oil level and adjust it as needed.
    1
  22887. Hi! The 2AR in the 13 Camry isn’t born with a problem but can develop it if not maintained well.
    1
  22888. Agreed on the 2UZ. It’s an awesome engine with very little problems and mostly have to do with rust
    1
  22889. That was a thing with Toyota distributors in the early cars . Another one of you ever run into it is the coolant temperature sensor. It makes the car running very unpredictable and it’s intermittent as well.
    1
  22890. Changing your engine oil every 5000 miles is totally fine and is recommended. No harm in changing it earlier. But if you stick with 5k or 6 month oil changes you should have no issues
    1
  22891. In the dealership where I work a synthetic oil change is around 40 dollars.
    1
  22892. Hi! It does apply as well. Regardless of which oil you’re using you need to be aware of the special operating conditions outlined in your owners manual
    1
  22893. With the 2AZ around 2007. And not only Toyota many manufacturers started with this earlier.
    1
  22894. The newer engines are too new to tell but timely maintenance is important with any engine
    1
  22895. It could. Don’t quote me on this but what I hear from my honda tech friends is that honda has worse oil burning problems than Toyota and their opinion is that it has to do with the oil life monitor.
    1
  22896. There was a Change made for 2015 models so you should be good.
    1
  22897. Hi! I would still change the oil and filter on time
    1
  22898. Unfortunately that’s a tough one. Unless you drive it you won’t have a good way of knowing. Like jack mentioned if you ask for maintenance records you can tell how it was done
    1
  22899. And often they get this too “your budget is low and you have 2 months to finish it because marketing wants to release the car” god bless them!
    1
  22900. I would try an engine oil cleaner and see if it improves. That’s not bad consumption at all.
    1
  22901. Hi! Is it using oil or leaking any oil?
    1
  22902. It varies by labor rate but around 18 hours of labor and parts
    1
  22903. Some engines require certain lower viscosity oil. With most toyotas sticking with the recommended oil and changing it regularly is all they needs to keep them from consuming
    1
  22904. Yes if the issue has not damaged the cylinder wall.
    1
  22905. The oil filter every oil change as well.
    1
  22906. Hi! You can look at the plugs and compression test but often they won’t be a good indication and can be misleading. Using an oil system cleaner in moderation won’t affect the seals but overdoing it can.
    1
  22907. The oil light is low oil pressure not level
    1
  22908. Hi! Unless the lifters are having issues because of sludge then cleaners won’t help them
    1
  22909. Hi! Likely not I haven’t seen a single case of consumption in this engine even when neglected
    1
  22910. Hi! Thank you for watching! I don’t have experience with diesel Toyota engines as they’re not sold in the us.
    1
  22911. Hi! Honestly I would replace the oil filter on every oil change. So replace the engine oil and filter every 5k miles or 6 months. You can get a small oil drain pan to capture oil from the filter and the filter itself.
    1
  22912. Hi! I do recommend 5k even on synthetic oil.
    1
  22913. Try oil cleaning.
    1
  22914. Liqui moly doesn’t make it worse. That’s a good brand of oil.
    1
  22915. I would change it every 6 months
    1
  22916. Hi! That’s not very high consumption you might be able to improve it with an oil cleaner
    1
  22917. These can burn oil even with good maintenance honestly.
    1
  22918. Hi! Do you mean the 2.4L engine?
    1
  22919. Hi! Regular
    1
  22920. Hi! Fluid film works well
    1
  22921. Hi! Synthetic oil is better but it does in the end cause contamination if not changed at the correct interval. An engine oil cleaner like the ones you mentioned work well and won’t cause harm. However if you overdo it then you could cause issues
    1
  22922. If the maintenance is not followed correctly eventually it will start consuming oil. A small amount of consumption no more than 1 quart every 1200 miles is considered normal.
    1
  22923. Hi! I honestly don’t have much experience with honda or Mazda to give a detailed answer
    1
  22924. If you are well aware what the conditions are for 5k oil changes vs 10k and you are sure you’re not doing them then maybe. I still wouldn’t and dealing with oil consumption is even more work than doing the oil change every 5k or 6 months
    1
  22925. Hi dave, They do tell you to change it earlier if your driving falls in the special operating conditions listed in the maintenance guide
    1
  22926. That should be ok. It’s likely very slightly overfilled
    1
  22927. Hi! The car needs to be running when checking the fluid. Was that the case?
    1
  22928. Hi! Honestly if it’s not broken don’t fix it. If you’re not using oil at 153k I would continue to do what you’ve been doing and not worry about additives or cleaners
    1
  22929. Go for it and good luck!
    1
  22930. The ticking is likely wear from low oil. I would try an engine cleaner but honestly at this age and mileage chances or success are low.
    1
  22931. Hi! Which model?
    1
  22932. No oil burning issues with the A25A
    1
  22933. If it’s an approved viscosity you’re good no issues
    1
  22934. The less friction there is when the engine is running the less load there is therefore the less emissions produced.
    1
  22935. Try engine oil cleaners by liquimoly. They’re good.
    1
  22936. Hi! Honestly without hearing the noise I wouldn’t be able to advise accordingly. Any chance you can record it?
    1
  22937. That’s not high consumption but yes the engine in your car is affected.
    1
  22938. Hi! I would try an oil cleaning service but chances of success are not very high. Unfortunately the only true and permanent solution is to replace the pistons and rings with the updated parts.
    1
  22939. Hi! You’ll want oil cleaner to free them up
    1
  22940. I trust Toyota engineering and they took their time with the A25A engine development. I would estimate with good maintenance they should last.
    1
  22941. Hi! I would check if the engine has been fixed for this issue. If it has been then it’s a very good car otherwise I’d walk away honestly
    1
  22942. Hi! That is a possibility however a very slight one. The correct and permanent repair for your case would be replacing the pistons and rings with updated parts.
    1
  22943. Ok the 2012 is good but the 4 cylinder model is notorious for oil consumption. The v6 is a lot better. Here’s a video I made with common problems on those so you know and can check them https://youtu.be/1djDSR2vwdI
    1
  22944. Yes
    1
  22945. Hi! Another thing that was common for these engines that consume at highway speeds is the pcv valve. Don’t use aftermarket. Replace it with original and see if it improves even more.
    1
  22946. Hi! Yes even with synthetic 5k or 6 months
    1
  22947. Hi! It’s likely going to need a rebuild at this point
    1
  22948. 8000kms is good
    1
  22949. I wouldn’t do that. You’d still need to change the oil and the oil filter.
    1
  22950. Hi! Most oils will behave the same honestly.
    1
  22951. Hi! Check it with the engine fully warmed up
    1
  22952. Weather has a lot to do with it but 20w50 is a bit too high of weight for most modern Toyota’s.
    1
  22953. Hi! It’s a complementary service assuming perfect operating conditions which most people don’t fall under honestly. They could cancel the whole thing and we’d still buy the cars so it’s nice to have something and pay for the additional oil changes in between
    1
  22954. I think that’s good oil. Honestly this is my opinion about oil filters, and I speak this from experience not from long articles and tests that really doesn’t help people who own cars and drive them daily. Toyota oil filters are very well made. I have not seen any issues with engines caused by an original Toyota filter, however I have seen issues with non original filters. So if you want to play it safe, watch the maintenance schedule and follow it based on your driving conditions. If you want to play it safe use Toyota oil or Mobil 1 with a Toyota original filter, change it every 5k or 6 months and call it a day.
    1
  22955. Bmw and many other manufacturers have the same issues.
    1
  22956. That generation corolla was known for oil burning nothing can be done to help it when it gets bad unfortunately
    1
  22957. Hi! Thank you for watching my channel! So perhaps there are better filters than the original filter but the Original filter is more than sufficient in keeping things clean. More importantly is the change frequency in my opinion
    1
  22958. Hi! The reason it’s in the back is because it’s attached to the oil separator. You can get to it without removing the intake but it’s a very tight space and sometimes it might be better just to take the manifold off. The valve typically doesn’t need replacement unless there’s oil contamination issues.
    1
  22959. Hi! Do you happen to have the codes your mechanic pulled?
    1
  22960. Honestly I would be concerned if the campaign was done when it was active. That engine had an issue that it was born with and if it was not fixed back when Toyota fixed them for free I’d walk. If you buy one that was fixed then it’s good if not I’d walk or look at newer RAV4s or a RAV4 with a v6
    1
  22961. You put a very small amount of kms in a 6 month period. It’s either you are not using the car at all for long periods of time or you are making very short trips. Your engine for most of the 6 months is never driven long enough to fully warm up. When gasoline engines are cold a small amount of fuel goes into the crankcase and starts breaking down the oil. So even though you didn’t drive much, the oil is already contaminated with fuel and you’d want to refresh it.
    1
  22962. I would still change it honestly.
    1
  22963. Go for it!
    1
  22964. Some dealerships will use the 5 month recommendation to give owners a chance to make an appointment.
    1
  22965. Hi! Very regular oil changes will help but I’d prefer an engine oil cleaner which works more effectively
    1
  22966. I would still change it every 5k or 6 months
    1
  22967. Hi! They are not. I believe it’s D1
    1
  22968. Some of them do burn from bad maintenance habits
    1
  22969. Hi! They won’t do early oil changes you’ll have to pay for them
    1
  22970. Hi! Changing the oil on time is enough to keep things clean.
    1
  22971. And that’s precisely why you don’t have oil burning issues and likely never will.
    1
  22972. Thank you for your comment. TSB for the 2AZ-FE oil consumption clearly identifies normal oil consumption levels which now is the new standard of oil consumption. You have not seen a 2AZ,2ZR, 2AR,1AR and 1ZZ engines consume 2-3 quarts every 500-1000 miles. I have from working on them every single day. If you don’t have consumption with your new Toyota that’s good, I’m glad and hope you never deal with it. But you drive one new Toyota and dealerships across the nation see hundreds of cars every day. Just because you don’t have issues because you take care of your car and adhere to the maintenance schedule, doesn’t mean others don’t. Catalytic converters do fail from oil consumption but it does take a while to fail not in 10k miles of oil consumption. Have a nice day.
    1
  22973. I would still encourage you to scan through your usage of the car. If not sure play it safe and go with 8k kms or 6 months
    1
  22974. Hi! There’s nothing wrong with 3k mile intervals. You can however safely go to 5k mile intervals. The dealership should do what you like when you’re paying for it
    1
  22975. The v6 is less prone to oil consumption but with incorrect maintenance it still can develop the same issues.
    1
  22976. If your car calls for synthetic oil use synthetic and it’s still 5k even for synthetic cars if you’re operating it under special operating conditions.
    1
  22977. Hi! Stop leak products typically work by introducing debris that clog the leak area. Well that debris could also clog other more important passages and cause other issues
    1
  22978. Around 2007 and up on some models 2005 and up
    1
  22979. Hi! Honestly I drive the same as your commute and I still replace it every 5k miles. It’s up to you.
    1
  22980. That is not bad consumption. I wouldn’t worry too much. If you want you could try an oil system cleaner to improve it.
    1
  22981. A cold trip is a trip where the engine doesn’t reach operating temperature. Sometimes they say 5 mile trips or less is a short trip.
    1
  22982. Hi! It shouldn’t if the maintenance is kept
    1
  22983. Just a note for viewers mechanics loose money every time they do an oil change only on a customer car. I am a mechanic and will tell you this. I’d much rather you change your oil on time, have no problems and I stay poor but have my conscience clear and sleep much better at night. Take care of your car!
    1
  22984. If the weather is very cold I would warm it up
    1
  22985. Same thing I’d say.
    1
  22986. I would go with the 3.5 and play it safe
    1
  22987. So far the new engine has been doing well with oil consumption however it’s also too new to know. I would keep up good maintenance on it so you won’t have issues.
    1
  22988. 😂
    1
  22989. Did you contact your dealership? You could still be covered for your xB
    1
  22990. As I mentioned in the video the products that I’ve used are not available for retail sale but I hear good things about engine cleaning products from liqui moly
    1
  22991. No real direct difference between the oil cooler and oil consumption.
    1
  22992. Possibly I don’t really deal with aftermarket rings but the cost to replace them would be much higher than just keeping up the maintenance and not having issues to begin with.
    1
  22993. I wouldn’t get higher than the highest recommended oil. If there’s issues like oil burning I would investigate then rather than mask the problem
    1
  22994. Thank you for watching! 0w16 is full synthetic. Doubt you’ll find conventional in that weight.
    1
  22995. 😂
    1
  22996. I think it’s very high quality oil. A tad bit on the expensive side but overall very good.
    1
  22997. Hi! Is the car misfiring continuously?
    1
  22998. P0301? Hows the condition of the spark plug on cylinder 1 and does the car misfire?
    1
  22999. Hi! Run an engine cleaner. That could work better
    1
  23000. Hi! On that engine new pistons and rings will stop the consumption completely
    1
  23001. Yes you can
    1
  23002. Hi! It’s not a must but it’s recommended. They won’t void your warranty
    1
  23003. Yes they do. Some a lot worse.
    1
  23004. Nice car! Congratulations! Just keep up the maintenance. Take care of the car and it will take care of you
    1
  23005. Hi! Yes if they are not maintained correctly.
    1
  23006. Hi! Ask any questions you have. We all learn by asking questions so ask away 😀. I think your interval is good. I think it would be better at 8000 kms (5000 miles) or 6 months. The engine you have is a very good engine but can be prone to oil burning from poor maintenance. Staying around 8000 kms for oil changes or 6 months keeps you in the safe zone from issues.
    1
  23007. Castrol synthetic oil is good as well.
    1
  23008. I would change the oil filter every time you change the oil
    1
  23009. That’s not too bad
    1
  23010. Hi! How low is it?
    1
  23011. Hi! Yes it does apply to hybrids as well.
    1
  23012. I would still change the oil and the filter
    1
  23013. Hi! 100 hours in a gasoline car sound about right as well. I wouldn’t use diesel oil as it might be too much
    1
  23014. If his driving conditions are normal and doesn’t fall under the special operating conditions you could get away with it and have no issues at all.
    1
  23015. Hi! So far the 19-21 RAV4 seem clear of oil consumption.
    1
  23016. Yes I would keep the oil topped off
    1
  23017. I would use either Mobil 1 and change it at 5k. No real improvement on one or another when changing it at the correct interval.
    1
  23018. Hi! Lifetime is a relative term. I would change it and have piece of mind
    1
  23019. I heard good things about liquimoly but haven’t tested it myself
    1
  23020. It’s not a maintenance item if the oil changes are done on time. This is one that I would do perhaps once every 2-3 years for a preventive measure.
    1
  23021. Hi! Around 2007 in the 4 cylinders
    1
  23022. Hi! When was the work done to the engine?
    1
  23023. I don’t particularly like sea foam I would use a dedicated engine oil cleaner
    1
  23024. Diesels are different. If you do oil changes earlier it’s no harm but in your case you’re good.
    1
  23025. The 4 cylinder yes if not maintained right. The v6 is much better and much less prone to oil burning.
    1
  23026. Find an engine oil cleaner. I don’t have the name with me right now but research on the different ones they have
    1
  23027. Hi! Which model do you have?
    1
  23028. Hi! How much oil is it using every 1000-1200 miles?
    1
  23029. Usually they take a while to get there as long as you keep the oil topped off. Try oil cleaning additives. They have a less chance of success on that engine but could still work at least slow the rate of consumption and are cheap enough to worth trying.
    1
  23030. Thank you for watching my video. So on your 2007 RAV4 the issue is a design one as I mentioned in the video with the 2AZ-FE engine which has updated parts that would fix the issue permanently.
    1
  23031. I hear you. So does most Toyota models. They don’t really have an oil level sensor of any sorts.
    1
  23032. Hi! So on the 2AZ engine in your Camry there’s an actual issue that is solved with updates pistons and rings. Oil cleaning solutions might work but not well. The engine needs to come out and updated pistons and rings installed. Keeping the oil topped off will keep the car going but the catalytic converter could eventually fail but that will be at a later stage of consumption.
    1
  23033. Hi! I would use 5w30 for that engine as the other oil might be too thin for your engine.
    1
  23034. Hi! Cold weather is typically 32 F and below
    1
  23035. Hi! You could but ideally 6 months is recommended
    1
  23036. Road noise? More insulation but adding more insulation on a big van will add some weight and affect your gas mileage
    1
  23037. You’d have to pay for the oil change in between unfortunately as the Toyota program doesn’t cover special operating conditions
    1
  23038. Sorry just to clarify. The cars first oil change was done at 60,000 miles??
    1
  23039. I personally don’t like the quick release drain plugs.
    1
  23040. If you don’t maintain them correctly.
    1
  23041. 60k or 6 years
    1
  23042. In this case I would go by time. You’re likely driving them short trips or they a few trips then they sit the rest of the year. I would change the engine oil every 6 months
    1
  23043. Hi! Synthetic oils can go safely to 10k kms but if you drive your car frequent short trips or drive in heavy traffic I would consider the 6 month interval
    1
  23044. I’m doing an investigation into the oil analysis. I have a neutral opinion about them at this time.
    1
  23045. On hybrids the engine warm up cycle is different as the hybrid system will force the engine on if it wants to warm it up.
    1
  23046. It can work but it’s a bit overkill in my opinion
    1
  23047. They also has the oil consumption issue that was resolved with updated pistons and rings and were also part of the program from Toyota which is not expired for those models.
    1
  23048. Hi! Thank you for watching. I would replace the engine oil every 5k
    1
  23049. That is normal consumption per the spec by Toyota. An oil cleaning product could help lessen the consumption. But it’s not bad at all.
    1
  23050. Hi! Thank you for watching my video. Honestly the 2AZ had a design issue that causes consumption and the fix is updated pistons and rings. The oil cleaner is worth a shot as it’s not expensive at all but the chances of success are low because of the issue with this engine. If you shell out a small fortune to fix it make sure its done with the updated parts and there are a lot of cars that has gotten fixed with the updated parts that don’t burn oil after many years and a lot of miles. So the repair is successful.
    1
  23051. That is correct however using 2-3 quarts every 1000 miles vs the normal slight loss is not normal. That’s why there’s a limit of normal consumption of 1 qt every 1200 miles is the max normal.
    1
  23052. That could help.
    1
  23053. 5000 miles = 8000 kms.
    1
  23054. Hi! I would try an engine oil cleaner and see if that improves things
    1
  23055. Hi! Oil cleaners won’t increase consumptions. They either help or or won’t change it. I wouldn’t use a product over the piston unless the product is designed to do so.
    1
  23056. I would definitely change the oil a lot more frequently. More like every 5k miles.
    1
  23057. The sequoia is not as sensitive to this as others however neglect the oil changes and it will burn oil
    1
  23058. Hi! Honestly I would replace the pistons and rings from the kit toyota made and call it a day.
    1
  23059. That’s a possibility. But using the cleaner throughout the oiling system is better in my opinion.
    1
  23060. Amsoil is excellent! However for Toyota I think it’s overkill and you can get the same results using Toyota oil which is cheaper.
    1
  23061. Thank you for watching my channel. Talking about gasoline engines.
    1
  23062. It works but for blocked injectors
    1
  23063. Toyota doesn’t have oil dilution issues. Also it could very well hide oil consumption as your dipstick level is it accurate due to the large amount of fuel in the crankcase.
    1
  23064. Not really familiar with that. I hear good things about liqui moly engine oil cleaner.
    1
  23065. Yes. BG makes good products
    1
  23066. Either contact your local dealership and ask if the customer support program for oil consumption was repaired or not or check for black sealer on the engine instead of grey
    1
  23067. Hi! Thank you for watching my channel! Unfortunately I can’t arrange a phone call due to time constraints however you’re welcome to leave a comment or send an email. Leaving a comment is the fastest way to get a reply emails can take long as I have a bit back log
    1
  23068. Hi! Once shouldn’t be an issue. Don’t worry
    1
  23069. Hi! Your 2007 highlander must get its oil changes every 5k or 6 months per the manufacturer. That engine is bullet proof but known for oil sludge if oil changes are not done on time
    1
  23070. You’re good with 5w20 even 5w30 on that engine but for best fuel economy use 0w20
    1
  23071. This will vary by engine. Which engine do you have or which model?
    1
  23072. Hi! The question to you is this. Appraise your current FJ. What’s the difference between its price and a new 4 runner? Likely it’s more than 8k. Then after that look at the rest of the truck. Is this truck driven in the rust belt? If it is and it’s rusty underneath I would move on to a new 4Runner and apart the frame. If it’s not rusty then it might be worth it. Then the 4Runner you will buy are you going to modify it how you like? Or drive it stock? Because stock it’s very similar to the FJ
    1
  23073. Hi! How much are you burning?
    1
  23074. Hi! I wouldn’t do it in the car honestly. It can be done but is a pain especially with the upper oil pan. Pulling that engine out of the car is a very easy job. Get the kit and don’t order your pistons yet. On the side of the rod cap you’ll find the piston number engraved either A B C then get them. Don’t hone the block or resurface the deck or the cylinder head as you could have timing issues. Check your oil clearance on both rod and main bearings and replace as needed. The bearings are also numbered. You’ll find the number also on the side of the rod cap and on the flat surface of the block for the mains. Overall very easy job and the kit comes with everything you need other than pistons, fluids, oil filter and sealer. Over all a very easy job for someone with experience with engines. I would replace the water pump, spark plugs, drive belt and tensioner and the valve guide seals while you’re there as well.
    1
  23075. Either will work good. The interval of change is more important though.
    1
  23076. Hi! It can clean things marginally but if they’re very badly gummed up it might not be able to clean them.
    1
  23077. Hi! So far I haven’t seen cases of oil consumption. Use 0w16 full synthetic and change it every 8000 kilometers
    1
  23078. A very small amount can be normal. But I would keep an eye on it. It’s possible that it was low to begin with unless you checked it
    1
  23079. It’s the same for hybrids. So if you look in your maintenance guide it will list each maintenance item. For example look at the 5k service interval and at the bottom it will show you if these special operating conditions apply to you do the following additional maintenance
    1
  23080. It sounds like you don’t fall under the special operating conditions so yes. Personally I drive almost 100 miles a day and I still change it every 5k or 6 months
    1
  23081. There are many ways to do that. The easiest and safest is to use an engine oil cleaner. If you have another way that works please share.
    1
  23082. Hi! 1 quart is 0.946 liter
    1
  23083. Yes it should
    1
  23084. That would work on an engine like the 7a
    1
  23085. Hi! I would switch to 8000 kms which is 5000 miles that I referred to in the video.
    1
  23086. I think that is not a high rate of consumption
    1
  23087. I don’t know about other brands but Toyota counts 5000 miles then turns on. At 4500 miles it will flash or come on then go off
    1
  23088. Hi! The dealership is not refusing to change the oil. Toyota is paying for those oil changes and they won’t pay for special operating conditions. So if you want to change the engine oil every 5k you’d have to pay for the oil change in between for the first 2 years
    1
  23089. Not familiar with this engine
    1
  23090. Thank you for watching. Most if not all of my videos also apply to Lexus and scion as they have similar if not the same engines and designs.
    1
  23091. Thank you for watching my video art! Never got a good answer for exactly why they changed it but it could be the overall design of the engine or the fact that the bypass is built into the housing
    1
  23092. Hi! They can’t hurt anything but the 2gr is not known to have oil in the intake issues
    1
  23093. Hi! The one reverse light could be normal. The fog light is always one on most European spec cars equipped with a rear fog light. Double check with your dealership.
    1
  23094. Hi! From experience 5k/6 month intervals with synthetic oil is sufficient to keep things clean and trouble free
    1
  23095. The v6s seem a bit less sensitive to this but still. The recommendation from the manufacturer stands. If your driving conditions fall into the special operating conditions then a 5k/6 month oil change is required.
    1
  23096. Hi! First thing is to check the wiring going to the radio. Not common but I’ve seen a few cases where the connections are loose. Either the harness side tighten the connections or it’s possibly a radio issue internally
    1
  23097. Likely that model doesn’t have oil mixing with coolant issues but is known for external oil leaks and coolant leaks. Make sure you get a pre purchase inspection done
    1
  23098. Possibly. Which car are you looking at?
    1
  23099. Hi! You mean higher viscosity oil?
    1
  23100. Hi! I don’t think so. I think the low tension piston rings combined with the longer intervals of maintenance without paying attention to the manufacturers recommendations for special operating conditions have a lot to do with it.
    1
  23101. Hi! I wouldn’t honestly. Just continue your good maintenance schedule and you’ll have no issues
    1
  23102. They have some additives that help older engines cope but their success is always in question and honestly I would focus more on the frequency of oil changes
    1
  23103. Hi! Yes even with synthetic
    1
  23104. Hi! 0w16 is ok for summer use if it’s specified in your owners manual
    1
  23105. Oil changes are the same for hybrids.
    1
  23106. Hi! The cylinder wall liners are too thin to be bored. That’s the official recommendation from toyota in the manual
    1
  23107. Hi! I would change it every 6 months and don’t use high mileage oil. Doesn’t really do much
    1
  23108. Hi! Did you own the car since it was new?
    1
  23109. Because then you’d have too much drag and were back to square one
    1
  23110. Hi! Those burn oil from neglect or lack of maintenance. An issue with the PCV valve could cause oil consumption but it could also be other issues from neglect
    1
  23111. It doesn’t. But not timely oil changes build up varnish/sludge which could cause the piston rings to seize and since they’re lower tension they tend to seize up easier.
    1
  23112. Hi Robert. So if your car requires synthetic oil then I’d use synthetic. If it doesn’t then conventional. But with either case I’d recommend the 6 month oil change still.
    1
  23113. Most Toyota engines except the 2AZ and the 2zr in the Prius are not born with a problem but if maintenance is not done on time they have a tendency to develop oil consumption over time
    1
  23114. Hi! I would give it a few minutes especially in cold weather
    1
  23115. It’s not advised to use regular gas in cars that call for premium. You could do serious damage to the engine in some cases.
    1
  23116. Hi! Borescope the cylinder and see. If it’s good engine oil cleaner
    1
  23117. Not really. A healthy engine will not consume an excessive amount of oil because of thin oil that it was designed to run on.
    1
  23118. Hi! I would change the oil every 6 months and call it a day
    1
  23119. Hi! This will depend on your driving. If you put 5000 miles in less than 6 months then go by miles. If you put less than 5000 miles every 6 months then replace it every 6 months
    1
  23120. Honestly I don’t have experience with Diesel engines as they’re not sold in my area.
    1
  23121. Thank you for your comment. I speak from experience not from just a personal car I own, it’s experience with hundreds if not thousands of Toyota’s that I work on every day. The engines that were born with the issue and had a fix are not the engines I see burning oil from bad maintenance habits. The 2AZ-FE did have a problem and even if you maintained it, it still burned out at some time that’s why there was a fix. However other engines are burning oil due to bad oil change habits, others of the same engine that maintained the engine correctly won’t have issues.
    1
  23122. It’s not! Better than 10k miles
    1
  23123. Hi! Personally I wouldn’t go off oil analysis alone. Video coming in the near future for that.
    1
  23124. Hi! No they don’t. Just replace the pistons and rings
    1
  23125. You can reuse most of the bolts honestly. You’ll at the minimum need a gasket kit, bearings as needed after you check oil clearances. I wouldn’t drill the pistons I would just replace them with rings. But before you even do anything I would take the plugs out and scope the cylinder to check the walls. Any scratches or loss of crosshatch and this whole project gets halted as you’d need a block at that time.
    1
  23126. Hi! The 2002 celica is not under any program for piston and ring replacement. Engine work can be intimidating if you don’t have the experience but it’s not very hard especially with the very basic engine that’s in your celica.
    1
  23127. Thank you for watching!
    1
  23128. Search toyota 2.4L oil consumption and Google…
    1
  23129. Hi. I don’t know how BMWs do with the 10k oil changes but in Toyota land 5k oil changes are highly recommended
    1
  23130. Personally I wouldn’t use any filter in any Toyota other than the original filter.
    1
  23131. Hi! An engine oil cleaner is recommended as a first attempt to remedy the consumption. If it doesn’t work then pistons and rings but first look at the cylinder walls
    1
  23132. The original Toyota oil
    1
  23133. Hi! Try switching to different gas brand
    1
  23134. Hi! It could help but unfortunately with this engine you’ll need the new pistons and rings
    1
  23135. Toyota doesn’t have a built in oil monitoring. The maintenance light counts 5000 miles then comes on.
    1
  23136. Hi! Because of the different brand likely they won’t be able to cover it even though it’s the same engine
    1
  23137. Hi! I have used LKQ and they’re ok
    1
  23138. Unfortunately this one is a tough one. Your best bet is looking for service history and a complete one
    1
  23139. Hi Mark. The move to thinner oils is for emissions. However that doesn’t mean they just woke up and decided let’s just thin the oil and call it a day. They do extensive testing to make sure this thinner oil doesn’t affect the longevity of the engine.
    1
  23140. Thank you for watching my video. I personally don’t have experience with marvel mystery oil but if you have maintained the car in a timely fashion like you have I don’t see the need to over do it honestly. But it won’t hurt to add I suppose.
    1
  23141. I haven’t heard of that brand honestly.
    1
  23142. Hi! If it’s a known brand with a good track record of quality it shouldn’t be an issue
    1
  23143. Depends on the dealership.
    1
  23144. I would still change it every 5k
    1
  23145. 2000s and up
    1
  23146. Hi brad! Honestly I would skip the additive and change the oil every 5k instead.
    1
  23147. Hi! An engine oil cleaner like the liqui moly and others will help clean things out
    1
  23148. Hi! Toyota uses a liner in their aluminum blocks. Most of them are non reusable and can’t be honed
    1
  23149. Hi! These engines in the 20-21 Rav4s with good maintenance shouldn’t have issues. The fuel tank issue is resolved and has a warranty extension. If you ever have the Problem Toyota will take care of it.
    1
  23150. The automatic transmission is recommended every 60k or 6 years using Toyota ATF WS
    1
  23151. Hi! That could be just from age and mileage. I would try an oil system cleaner and see if that helps.
    1
  23152. Personally I would replace the engine oil every 6 months. If you don’t drive much likely most of your trips are short trips
    1
  23153. Hi! Which engine do you have?
    1
  23154. Hi! That is correct they won’t cover the 5k oil changes
    1
  23155. Hi! Yes I do
    1
  23156. This generation corolla was known for oil burning issues. Try some oil cleaning products but honestly the success rate is low on that engine.
    1
  23157. I would try products by liquimoly for engine cleaning.
    1
  23158. You can ask as many questions as needed. I enjoy doing what I do and taking about it :-) the hybrid variant or the 2AZ engine also had oil consumption issues for the same reason. The 2AR-FE is better on oil consumption but if maintenance is not done well it does have a tendency of consuming oil and worse than the 2AZ.
    1
  23159. So 2 things I can tell you about the defective pistons if you would. The holes behind the oil control rings were different. Otherwise it’s hard to tell the difference. Also the oil control ring design was completely different from old vs new. Doubt that we still have some of the old pistons laying around I would’ve sent you one to see it. The punch marks are just supplier marks. The part is made to exact specifications. Usually when replacing pistons we didn’t really measure to know if we had ABC on the face of the piston the letter was engraved also engraved on the side of the rod so it was very simple. Also the number for the rod bearing was also engraved on the rod that one is 1 2 or 3 same with main bearings also engraved on the block. Japan VS Kentucky didn’t make a difference as they were all the same really. Only different pistons were for the Camry hybrid. Also ABC but completely different design
    1
  23160. So the ABC pistons have nothing to do with where the engine is made. A Kentucky engine can have A,B and C in the same engine and I can guarantee this as I’ve rebuilt well over 500 of these. The different design will depend on the car you have. Which year is the RAV4 that you are working on?
    1
  23161. Hi! On the 2AZ there are 3 piston types for the updated ones. There’s A B and C the difference is the size of the wrist pin. The rod will also have a different number. You want to match them to the originals or replace the rods and the pins.
    1
  23162. Yes. If you’re not driving your car as much then it goes to 6 months.
    1
  23163. Hi! In your maintenance guide below every service it will list special operating conditions and what needs to be done
    1
  23164. Hi! I personally would
    1
  23165. Hi! The dash air bag in most corollas can be changed in well under an hour as it’s very simple to come out
    1
  23166. Hi! Newer models if neglected they can burn oil
    1
  23167. Thin liner thickness.
    1
  23168. Hi! It’s the same oil that comes in Toyota bottled oil.
    1
  23169. Hi! Transmission fluid with age is not as bad as engine oil because there’s no fuel contamination. To replace it or not depends on the mileage. What kind of miles do you have?
    1
  23170. Hi Mark! I personally don’t like additives as the oil you buy that is good quality already have additives with it which are more than enough to protect the engine when the oil is changed on time
    1
  23171. Hi! The water pump is external and it’s driven by the drive belt. So if it leaks it will leak externally not inside
    1
  23172. Hi! Which model?
    1
  23173. Hi! They’re less prone to oil consumption but if not maintained properly it can still consume oil.
    1
  23174. Hi! Either will work. Interval is more important honestly
    1
  23175. Hi! I would highly recommend the 6 month oil change as likely most of your trips are short
    1
  23176. 0.95 L
    1
  23177. Hi Jose! Just clean the throttle body and you’re done. The idle will be high for a few days then it’ll come down on its own. No calibration needed.
    1
  23178. Thank you for your comment Jose. How often did you change the oil in the other cars that you have?
    1
  23179. You can look at the cylinder walls through the spark plug hole with a camera to know before hand
    1
  23180. I have. I plan a video for this subject in the future
    1
  23181. Very true. If the 2AZ engine has the oil problem taken care of and maintained right it’s actually one of the most reliable engines made.
    1
  23182. On the Scion xB the issue is the same until the last year which is 2015
    1
  23183. Try researching oil cleaning products as they could help the consumption issues with your Lexus
    1
  23184. They’re very similar honestly. If there’s no signs of sludge ( take the valve cover off to be sure ) they should be good.
    1
  23185. Hi! They have a tendency to develop oil consumption if not maintained but not like the later ones.
    1
  23186. That’s a whole different world than the new cars. Are you sure the new turbo is not consuming the oil!? That CT26 was notorious for oil consumption
    1
  23187. How often was the oil changed on your sienna?
    1
  23188. I would run an oil system cleaning first then stick with the oil recommended by the manufacturer either on your oil cap or owners manual
    1
  23189. This is the classic case that I spoke of in the video. Use engine oil cleaner and see if it improves.
    1
  23190. Hi! An engine oil cleaner could help. I would switch the oil to 5w20
    1
  23191. It depends on your driving conditions. If they fall within the special operating conditions then yes a 5k 6 month oil change is required. If you want to play it safe and will be keeping this car for a long time I would switch to 5k 6 months and not have to worry about it
    1
  23192. That could work but with modern engines I would rather use a product specifically designed for cleaning.
    1
  23193. A little bit yes
    1
  23194. Hi! What’s your average oil change interval since new?
    1
  23195. Toyota doesn’t really have cylinder shut down.
    1
  23196. Hi! It’s not marketing gimmicks but their effectiveness works better in a lab than in the real world. In essence they’re not a magical solution to aging high mileage engines
    1
  23197. Hi! Did you buy the car new and do 3k oil changes since day 1?
    1
  23198. No. That shouldn’t have the same issues as the 2007-2009.
    1
  23199. Thank you!
    1
  23200. Not enough! Thank you for watching
    1
  23201. I personally don’t like them. I think it’s one more way the owner disconnects from tracking their car maintenance and that’s when the issues start.
    1
  23202. 80 hours a week!
    1
  23203. Hi! You can ask them to change it sooner if you are paying for it.
    1
  23204. Honestly if there are no leaks, dry rot or other issues I wouldn’t replace them
    1
  23205. Hi! Honestly do a general inspection first. Maybe change the engine oil. Inspect the transmission fluid. And drive it for sometime before you do anything major to make sure it doesn’t need anything
    1
  23206. Hi! My shop can be found at www.tccnautomotive.com
    1
  23207. Hi! It’s not an interference engine
    1
  23208. Hi! Every 60-90k will do the trick. I wouldn’t do it earlier and try not later
    1
  23209. Pretty much the same car as this Camry
    1
  23210. Hi! Some dealerships will accept to install aftermarket parts per your request but they won’t warranty the work usually. If you bring your own parts they might install them for you but they won’t give any warranty on the work in that case even if the parts you bring are original
    1
  23211. Hi! That’s a lot to pay unless they’re in pristine condition with low mileage
    1
  23212. Yes eventually we’ll get to them
    1
  23213. Hi! Good cars with good maintenance. I used to own one and loved it as well. I would have the transmission memory reset and it will take care of the jerk. Very common on these after a torque converter replacement. Very simple and inexpensive with the right scan tool
    1
  23214. That is one of the common things in the 4 cylinder engine
    1
  23215. Hi! Yes I am in Illinois
    1
  23216. Hi! It would help but at this point you’d potentially want to rust convert then seal
    1
  23217. Hi! Take it easy on the trip and avoid fast driving and hard acceleration
    1
  23218. Hi Chuck. It depends honestly. For a water pump and starter I’d go original and new. For suspension parts you can go aftermarket but with the knowledge that they won’t last as much as the original. Aftermarket brakes are ok as long as they’re not the cheapest possible. But always cross shop for original parts prices. For used parts anything over 7 years old I wouldn’t consider especially wear items. If the car is less than 7 years old then I’d consider some suspension parts but not a water pump for example
    1
  23219. Amazon
    1
  23220. Hi! Check for engine codes
    1
  23221. Hi! It does have blue back light on the camera is does look green but it’s blue
    1
  23222. Hi! I wanted a RAV4 prime initially but the seat didn’t agree with my back so I went with the Camry which has more comfortable seats
    1
  23223. Hi! These are the studio lights I use to light up the videos I film.
    1
  23224. Hi! Unfortunately no
    1
  23225. Hi! Thank you! I always do and recommend a break in oil change to remove debris
    1
  23226. Hi! I would
    1
  23227. Hi! It won’t work on the sienna and usually water and soap in a spray bottle
    1
  23228. Thank you! Honestly I would practice removing the covers.
    1
  23229. Hi! Still have the Benz hardly drive it anymore. Email me with the subject Chicago service request
    1
  23230. I did however I will buy a horse and buggy before a Tesla unless they make a better built car. I would buy a Toyota made EV once they’re out.
    1
  23231. Hi! Thank you. The S class has been a dream car from my childhood and I had to fulfill it. Nothing drives like a Mercedes Benz, however you have to pay to play with them so they are expensive to own
    1
  23232. It would have to be custom. Something many asked about and I wanted to look at options when I have time.
    1
  23233. Hi! They’re good. I do recommend this company if you’re looking for leds
    1
  23234. Hi! On the transmission every 60-90k is a good window. On the inverter coolant first replacement at 100k or 5 years then every 5 years or 50k afterwards
    1
  23235. Dual injection
    1
  23236. Hi! I did a review on it. Here it is https://youtu.be/etngS2zzrNs
    1
  23237. Hi! Unfortunately it’s not available for the 2013 highlander
    1
  23238. Hi! Switching to 4WD every month should be sufficient to keep it working well
    1
  23239. Toyota original filters come with grease on the gasket.
    1
  23240. Hi! Thank you! I went with the 5k. Not the high output one the other one
    1
  23241. Hi! It’s a heated garage yes
    1
  23242. Hi! I thought about it but adding that weight will negate the gas mileage
    1
  23243. This one will be difficult to diagnose since it’s intermittent. They might need to keep the truck and drive it until it happens
    1
  23244. Hi! I would drive it and see if it happens again. It could be a solenoid issue that’s intermittent
    1
  23245. I don’t think they’ll fit a highlander
    1
  23246. It should be the same but I would double check them.
    1
  23247. Hi! Yes I’ll do the coolant and transmission service when it’s due. Possibly the coolant early to make a video about it
    1
  23248. No I don’t like how they look.
    1
  23249. Not shocked that everything is dry but it’s standard procedure to check new cars for issues as they come in for service
    1
  23250. Thank you for watching my channel! Hard to get one these days. Once I get one you’ll see a review
    1
  23251. Hi! You can turn it off
    1
  23252. Hi! I currently work at a toyota dealership so I just service it through the dealership myself.
    1
  23253. This car had just under 1000 miles and the next oil change I’ll do at 5k miles
    1
  23254. Hi! I actually like the new sienna hybrid. A bit down on power but it’s a minivan doesn’t need to be fast
    1
  23255. Hi! It would likely affect the warranty on pre collision lane departure and adaptive cruise control
    1
  23256. They’ll fit. It says they don’t fit because it’s nit factory installed. You’ll need to order 4 bolts
    1
  23257. Hi! You can lift them
    1
  23258. Hi! It’s an aftermarket accessory to make the car almost self driving. I’m planning a video soon about it
    1
  23259. Hi! Yes take it to the dealership
    1
  23260. Hi! Unfortunately no
    1
  23261. Hi John! Toyota oil filters come with grease on the o ring for the filter. And on the RX likely a clogged egr valve cooler or piping. You can’t erase permanent codes you need to go through so many drive cycles with failures and they’ll disappear on their own
    1
  23262. Hi! They’re called drop stop. Thank you!
    1
  23263. Hi! I’ll share a full review soon once I spend enough time to form an opinion. I don’t want to recommend a product without thoroughly testing it. It’s from Amazon
    1
  23264. Hi! Same thing. They stick out too much and get water on them easy
    1
  23265. On hybrids give it a minute or two and you’re good to go
    1
  23266. Hi. The original filter is lubricated from the factory and adding oil to the filter is not something that is required. That split moment that it takes for the oil to fill the filter doesn’t really hurt anything.
    1
  23267. Hi! Just be on top of the maintenance
    1
  23268. No all 5 windows were tinted by my friend jesse
    1
  23269. Hi! A break in oil change is heavily debated. I personally don’t like the amount of debris the new oil has and don’t feel comfortable leaving it there until the first oil change. Debris is normal in a new engine as it breaks in
    1
  23270. Georgetown Kentucky
    1
  23271. Hi! Unfortunately no
    1
  23272. Hi! Unfortunately no
    1
  23273. Hi! Dealership
    1
  23274. Hi! You can use HID lights without an issue. Just re adjust the aiming so you won’t blind oncoming traffic
    1
  23275. Hi! I will do a full review on it hopefully soon. It works well but has 2 things. Slight audio quality loss and slight delay when operating it. Not as smooth as you’re used to apple products
    1
  23276. Is it a Camry?
    1
  23277. Hi! It’s possible as it’s due for the refresh
    1
  23278. Thank you!
    1
  23279. It’s a Comma AI. Review will come in the future
    1
  23280. Hi! Toyota original filters come with grease already on the gasket except the G1 and G2.
    1
  23281. Hi! That’s the one I have works ok for now. Perhaps a faulty unit?
    1
  23282. Hi! Email me with the subject Chicago service request
    1
  23283. Hi! 194 26 LEDs 5000k
    1
  23284. Hi! I’ll look into other models including yours and update on a video if I find results
    1
  23285. Yes W221
    1
  23286. I honestly have no experience with Kirkland oil.
    1
  23287. Hi! Email with the subject Chicago service request
    1
  23288. Hi! It’s not possible with original parts on the 2015 rav4
    1
  23289. It is a bit loud at higher speeds but it’s not that bad. With a bit of radio it’s barely noticeable
    1
  23290. Thank you! They’re likely different. Many requested and asked about it. I’ll look into it
    1
  23291. Hi! They’re in the description and on the video as well
    1
  23292. Hi! It’s a 2022 but similar to the 2018. Same generation
    1
  23293. Hi! It does have Bluetooth. But for apple car play you need a wire
    1
  23294. Fuel mileage mainly
    1
  23295. Hi. Toyota original oil filters come with grease on the gasket already
    1
  23296. Hi! Hybrid or regularv
    1
  23297. Hi! When it comes to Toyota everyone will have an opinion, mine is that the original filter and original oil is the best for the intended purpose of the car. Can you buy better filters and better oil? Possibly but is it needed to protect the engine? Likely not.
    1
  23298. Hi! I don’t use snow tires
    1
  23299. Hi! Which year corolla?
    1
  23300. Hi! They are both good for your intended use. I went with a Camry because I needed a bit bigger car for family
    1
  23301. Hi! It’s working well other than a slight delay and a slight drop in audio quality. The bulbs are 194
    1
  23302. Hi!Thank you! On the battery filter as needed. Check it every few months
    1
  23303. Not really. A bit low on power for my heavy foot but otherwise I love it.
    1
  23304. Hi! You can’t prefill the filter on this engine as it sits sideways. And many make a big deal about this. Every engine is started dry at some point. Won’t hurt it as much as people make it out to be.
    1
  23305. Hi! Yes it is changed internally to accommodate the Atkinson cycle
    1
  23306. Hi! So far so good. They don’t have a solid feeling but in an accident they’re designed to crumple to absorb the impact
    1
  23307. I’m looking into it. Those won’t fit but I’ll see if I can something that works
    1
  23308. Hi! unfortunately not on the Corolla
    1
  23309. Hi! Likely not a problem with the hybrid system. How many miles do you have?
    1
  23310. Thank you for your hard work at TMMK!
    1
  23311. Break in oil change
    1
  23312. Thank you! Windchill pearl. Fancy for blizzard pearl I’d say
    1
  23313. Hi! Yes this one is
    1
  23314. Hi! I’ll work on the review soon. It works good. Slight delay when you change songs and if you are really into top quality audio you’ll notice a slight drop in audio quality
    1
  23315. Hi Mike. My other comparison is my S class so it will be louder for sure. Not a fair comparison. But the Avalon and especially the ES350 is quieter
    1
  23316. Hi! I don’t have experience with Subaru to give you a fair comparison
    1
  23317. Thank you! On the corolla a hood shock option is not as available as the Camry one is. On the wireless connection for android I am not sure need to look into it as I don’t have an android phone
    1
  23318. Hi! Email me with the subject Chicago service request
    1
  23319. Hi! It’s 35% all around
    1
  23320. Hi! I did a review about it. Find it here https://youtu.be/etngS2zzrNs
    1
  23321. Hi! I didn’t need an suv. I am always a sedan person. The rav4 prime was very tempting
    1
  23322. The guy that did the tint for me also does vinyl wrapping and he’s close to you contact him. Info in the description of this video
    1
  23323. Hi! It’s likely the same honestly. The factory apparently paints the body then paints the roof on top which is the same as what the body shop will do. I honestly would consider vinyl wrapping the roof black instead. That way when it’s time to sell you can remove it and it’s back to original
    1
  23324. Honestly I don't turn the radio up high. I'll try it
    1
  23325. On the hybrid 4 cylinder with good maintenance it would last about the same
    1
  23326. Hi! Attempt to plan a drive every week or two that’s longer than 20 minutes and switch your maintenance schedule by time. Everything will be ok.
    1
  23327. This one calls for premium fuel
    1
  23328. Hi! It is possible to lift it. I am not aware of specific kits for the RX. Know of some for the Prius and sienna so It’s likely with some research you’ll find some ready made kits.
    1
  23329. I use comma ai so I haven’t used the stock cruise control much but from the first few days it is a not clunky
    1
  23330. Haven’t really seen one yet.
    1
  23331. Hi! It depends on your use. Check it every few months and adjust the interval accordingly
    1
  23332. Hi! Yes on both. Transmission 60-90k and plugs at 120k
    1
  23333. It is but the RX is bigger and does need a smoother engine
    1
  23334. Hi! They are good cars with good engines. I did a review of the newest generation NX. A few things I didn’t like but overall it’s nice
    1
  23335. Thank you Hamid!
    1
  23336. I’m not even sure! I gotta check where they’re made Monday and I’ll let ya know
    1
  23337. Thank you!
    1
  23338. Thanks! That’s actually a great idea! Thanks I’ll add it to the upcoming video list!
    1
  23339. Thanks man! I’ll keep them coming then
    1
  23340. Thank you! You got it my brother! The tundra video will come after this round of announced videos. Email me if you need any info for now.
    1
  23341. Thanks!
    1
  23342. Thank you sir!
    1
  23343. I would usually use a spray bottle with soap and water and spray it down and wipe with a towel. There’s nothing wrong with using water just not high pressure concentrated into electrical connections. All electrical connections are water resistant under the hood but that’s meant for splashing water not direct high pressure water
    1
  23344. You could but it’s not recommended. Avoid spraying directly at electrical connections.
    1
  23345. Hi! Either jump start the battery or disconnect it before you leave. The 12v battery that is
    1
  23346. The eCVt is good reliability wise in the RAV4
    1
  23347. It’s not exactly the same but similar
    1
  23348. Hi! On hybrids you can’t disable start stop as it’s nit really a stop start it’s just part of the hybrid system and nothing to worry about as far as wear
    1
  23349. Hi! That could be b mode. Sometimes it will activate automatically.
    1
  23350. Yes. Hybrids share the same operating principals with changes here and there for each new model
    1
  23351. Interesting have the weather changed!?
    1
  23352. As tony mentioned how’s your driving mix?
    1
  23353. That is the part that’s not simple. It uses the planetary to vary the ratio. Perhaps another video focused on just that would work. I’ll look into making such a video.
    1
  23354. Hi roger! Thank you for watching my videos. The highlander hybrid could be a great car if you buy it for the right reasons, it fits your needs and you like it. Like all Toyota’s good maintenance habits is key to reliability and longevity.
    1
  23355. As long as the ready light is on you will not drain the battery.
    1
  23356. Hi! Which mode did you put your rav4 in? Also when the car is running the dc/dc converter which is part of the inverter supplies 12 volts to the car. Hybrids don’t have alternators
    1
  23357. Thank you for watching my video! So different manufacturers will use different methods in their hybrids. I am not very familiar with Kia hybrid designs but in the Toyota has a similar design in all their hybrid models. Differences are in generations of hybrids.
    1
  23358. Hi! This corolla has an eCVT for the hybrid model. It doesn’t have physical gears and works exactly the same as other models. Some of them will have paddle shifters and will show that it has 7 gears but it’s actually just computer programming to mimic a 7 speed transmission but inside it works exactly the same
    1
  23359. Hi! Yes it’s the same as the explanation in the video
    1
  23360. I actually enjoyed the Weber transmission tear down! My video is aimed more at owners who just want an overview in simple terms. Thank you for watching and sharing the link
    1
  23361. He was mainly referring to reverse which applies to your Camry as that’s software controlled and basically nothing will happen. But park is a mechanical action of engaging the parking pawl
    1
  23362. Hi! Honestly the situation is not ideal but it’s an accident and things happen but since everything is working well I wouldn’t worry. This is one of those situation where either damage happens and you know it or it doesn’t happen and life is good. In your case nothing happened and life is good 😀 just try not to have it happen often.
    1
  23363. How long is that life? I would change the fluid. It’s easy and not expensive to change why take a chance
    1
  23364. Hi! Thank you for watching my video Andrew. I would recommend you replace it between 60k and 90k miles. You can do it earlier with no harm to anything.
    1
  23365. If it fails while under warranty they will replace it with new
    1
  23366. Hi Sammy. Depends on which year you’re looking for. Many of the newer ones have a pretty long warranty on the battery
    1
  23367. Hi! What year highlander are looking?
    1
  23368. I wouldn’t worry about it. We’ve seen some leaks here and there they’re usually small and take a long time to drop the level. Keep an eye on the coolant level every few months and top off as needed.
    1
  23369. On Toyota hybrids both the transmission and the rear transaxle use Toyota WS ATF
    1
  23370. Hi! That is normal for hybrids. Everytime the engine starts it will do that rock back and forth
    1
  23371. The transmissions last a very long. Fluid replacement every 60-90k is about it for hybrid transmissions.
    1
  23372. Hi! That is correct. They have a mechanical clutch in the event the engine locks up it would basically break to prevent damage to the transmission but it’s engages all the time and it’s between the engine and transmission. But otherwise no clutches inside the transmission not a torque converter.
    1
  23373. Thank you! Funny you say that. In our case the one made in Germany was the one that needed the most and the one made in Alabama hardly needed anything.
    1
  23374. Hi! The mirrors do have power folding but it’s not automatic every time you lock the doors hence why it wasn’t a deal breaker, but still an oversight as almost every other Lexus model fold automatically when you lock the doors
    1
  23375. That works!
    1
  23376. Buy a project car :-) car guys never learn
    1
  23377. I don’t honestly. It’s a daily driver with kids, weather…etc we keep it clean and don’t expect it to be shiny all the time

  23378. Towards the end of the video I showed the undercoating. And also talked about the break in oil change
    1
  23379. This one takes premium gas. Very few Lexus models take regular
    1
  23380. Ask yourself this question. Do you want a car that’s old, built like a tank and will last a very long time with minimal repairs? Or do you want modern features and amenities potentially at the cost of past 10 year longevity?
    1
  23381. When you start your car. Does the radio screen say something about service mode?
    1
  23382. Ah got it. Honestly I haven’t tried it myself to see if they fit. You can buy a small aftermarket mirror that glues on the original one to show you a wider angle
    1
  23383. Hi! There’s more to the blind spot system than the mirror.
    1
  23384. So if the sensors are not damaged likely all you need is a calibration. If the sensors are not sitting right some body repair will be needed so they can sit correctly and can be calibrated
    1
  23385. Unfortunately I don’t know shops in NJ as I’m in Chicago. This one can get expensive. I would get a repair estimate from a Toyota dealership and call the insurance and put a fight with them. They’ll eventually budge
    1
  23386. Hi! The sensors will need calibrating and if the body is not fixed correctly it will need to go back to the body shop. If the car was fixed by the insurance this would be covered as well
    1
  23387. Hi! That is normal. It needs to see that the car is actually in your blind spot. When you pass a car at a high rate of speed relative to the car you passed it was in your blind spot for such a short time that it doesn’t alert. Equally if you have another car passing you at a much higher speed the system will light up very early much earlier if the car was just slightly faster than your speed.
    1
  23388. Hi! It’s possible you’ll want to check for trouble codes
    1
  23389. Hi! Honestly this one will need diagnosis but definitely negotiate the price or include a repair in the deal. If this truck is modified I’ve seen some remove the sensors in the back to install a different bumper
    1
  23390. Hi! That is normal
    1
  23391. Hi! Any accidents in the back bumper area even the slightest one?
    1
  23392. Hi! They can move the bracket and try to bring it back into spec if not then unfortunately it will need body work
    1
  23393. I would inspect the rear bumpers especially the sides. Any small contact with any other object?
    1
  23394. Hi jerry. I totally understand your frustration as I feel the same way. However that auto start stop is part of the emission system of car and not something Toyota likes to do that’s why it defaults to on every time you restart the car.
    1
  23395. Hi! I would jump into spending money without checking. I would use an inspection camera to look at the fan. If it’s clean I wouldn’t worry and just install a filter. If it’s dirty then I would recommend you clean it once only then install a filter that way you won’t have to clean the fan again just the filter which is simple and easy to get to
    1
  23396. It’s not something essential to the car. They are optional features
    1
  23397. Yep! 👍 😂
    1
  23398. Hi! The Blind spot alert will beep if you turn your turn signal on only not when a car comes in the blind spot. I don’t know of a way from the dealership side to change that.
    1
  23399. Hi! A dealership can install it but will charge too much and it doesn’t really require much skills to install it. I would have an independent install it. It won’t affect anything if installed correctly.
    1
  23400. Hi! It only sounds an alarm when there’s a car in your blind spot and you turn your turn signal to that direction.
    1
  23401. So technically they don’t. But I’ve seen cases of pads separating from the backing or cracking after they’ve been on the car for a long time. Brakes should be inspected regularly as part of the cars maintenance inspections. When the technician sees that I would then replace them. Otherwise nothing to worry about.
    1
  23402. Could you email me your VIN no as there might be more than one option for parts.
    1
  23403. Hi! Yes they should be able to if they can duplicate the concern
    1
  23404. Thank you for watching! If you’re doing the work yourself and not paying labor then it’s definitely worth it
    1
  23405. Hi! As long as it’s high temp approved it should be good
    1
  23406. I’d say you got everything you need. Perhaps brake grease?
    1
  23407. Hi! If you live in an area with salt use in the winter it wouldn’t hurt to clean and check them every year or two
    1
  23408. Hi! You can
    1
  23409. That is correct. 55 ft lbs for front and rear upper. 22 ft lbs for rear lower
    1
  23410. Hi! The rubber piece for the pin should come separate from the pad holder. I don’t have access to the system right now for torque specs. Try to leave a comment tomorrow and I’ll dig it up for you.
    1
  23411. Hi! Thank you for your feedback! So I took out all background music at some point in my videos and going forward no background music! Lighting I’m working on improving
    1
  23412. Hi! This applies to TCMC pads which came with their own shims. These pads are discontinued and value pads now don’t come with shims.
    1
  23413. There’s some acceptable pad shift from the factory. I wouldn’t attempt to tighten the pads or force something to hold them as that will cause brake drag
    1
  23414. Hi! They didn’t come equipped from the factory but you can buy one for them
    1
  23415. Hi! I didn’t include a link but you can take the part number from the video and head to parts.Toyota.com
    1
  23416. I am not really sure about parts availability in the UK. I would call your local Toyota dealership and ask.
    1
  23417. Hi! If there’s an issue with the fan most of the time it will show up or you’ll hear it running on high all the time if it’s working but not cooling well.
    1
  23418. You’re good to go if you vacuumed it! Have a safe trip
    1
  23419. Local dealership or online. Search the part number
    1
  23420. Either the dealership or a wholesale dealership online like Toyota parts deal
    1
  23421. Hi! It’s a bit involved to check the actual fan. If you have an inspection camera you can check the fan without removing anything through the vent
    1
  23422. Thank you for the suggestion! I will try to get a car to film with.
    1
  23423. Hi! The Avalon only has one filter option and it goes behind the vent.
    1
  23424. There’s a kit that the dealership sells that replaces the design and makes it easier to replace the filter
    1
  23425. Hi! It’s underneath the back seat passenger side
    1
  23426. I’m working on getting a Prius V to film with. It’s located underneath the passenger rear seat if you slide it all the way forward you’ll see it. A bit difficult to get out but you can vacuum it
    1
  23427. Hi! That sounds about right. Toyota did sell a retrofit kit where you can buy a whole new grille which is similar to the newer ones then you have a filter than you can remove and replace or clean
    1
  23428. Hi! See this video https://youtu.be/WNo-VXJSg7s
    1
  23429. Hi! The Avalon might have a filter you’d have to look. On the drivers side of the back seat you’ll find a vent on the seat back. Shine a light and see if you see a fine a mesh
    1
  23430. If it has a filter the fan shouldn’t get dirty
    1
  23431. You’ll need to remove the side bolster to get it oit
    1
  23432. Hi! There’s a small mesh underneath the passenger seat. Honestly if your fan is clean then the way you use the car likely won’t clog the filter
    1
  23433. Online or at a Toyota dealership
    1
  23434. It’s in the video and description
    1
  23435. So the existing vent that’s underneath the passenger rear seat comes off and the new one installs then the filters goes on it
    1
  23436. Hi! The mouth part number is G92D3-47050 and the new filter that will go on it is G92DH-47090
    1
  23437. Hi! There’s a retrofit kit from the dealership. Doesn’t cost a lot but you need to buy a new mouth for the intake then a filter installs into it
    1
  23438. Hi! I wouldn’t double filter. All part numbers are in the video and description
    1
  23439. Hmm that’s interesting. I would then remove the seat bottom and take the 12mm bolt underneath it. More work but will be easier to pull the cover off
    1
  23440. It requires some force to lift it up and pull it out of the hook. Otherwise the bottom of the back seat needs to be removed and a 12mm bolt underneath that piece removed.
    1
  23441. Every 1-3 months check it
    1
  23442. It fits your car go for it. Just don’t double filter, if you have one inside the vent you’d want to remove it and install the one outside
    1
  23443. Hi! Which style are planning to buy? The one inside the vent or the one that I recommend that clips on the outside of the vent?
    1
  23444. It could be normal depending on outside temperature. How clean is your filter and fan? And what model is your hybrid?
    1
  23445. I wouldn’t use both as they can create a restriction.
    1
  23446. Hi! Thank you for watching. You can install one for your car. Contact your lexus dealership for availability
    1
  23447. No.
    1
  23448. Hi! The best year in this generation Prius is 2015 honestly
    1
  23449. Hi! Some ct models will also have a filter. Check your vent to see if you have one
    1
  23450. Thank you for watching Vinnie
    1
  23451. G92DH-47020
    1
  23452. Hi! The 2004-2009 Prius has a different part number than the 3rd generation
    1
  23453. If the cause of failure was due to overheating from a clogged filter they can. Otherwise it won’t be an issue.
    1
  23454. Honestly I believe you’re likely not putting enough pressure to lift it in fear of breaking it. This one takes a bit of experience to lift it without breaking anything
    1
  23455. Hi! There’s no other wires that could get damaged. Remove the 12mm bolt and pull the whole bolster uo
    1
  23456. Thank you for watching my video! I don’t have personal experience with FIXD buy a code reader is always a good tool to have on hand.
    1
  23457. Hi! The Prius V is different. The vent is located underneath the passenger side rear seat
    1
  23458. Hi! If you don’t see the filter through the vent then likely you don’t have one inside.
    1
  23459. My pleasure! Thank you for watching my videos!
    1
  23460. Hi! I don’t have one for the Prius yet but it’s very similar to this one https://youtu.be/U7mjpvRihVU
    1
  23461. Hi! That model is not available in my area but if you send me a picture of the vent I can see which style it is and help further
    1
  23462. Was it a Toyota dealership?
    1
  23463. Depends on the car. Some of them it goes underneath the car and some gets pushed away from the battery towards the back.
    1
  23464. It actually works pretty well. If very fine dust goes through it, it will actually not get stuck on the fan and just exit out of the battery without a problem. But in the case of lint, pet hair...etc that can clog the fan, this filter will catch them easily
    1
  23465. Hi! I am looking for a Prius c to film with in Chicago. Once I get one I’ll get a video out for it.
    1
  23466. Message me on social media with your vin number (don’t post it here) and I’ll get back to you
    1
  23467. Hi! Head over to parts.Toyota.com and put your vin number then search for G92DH that’ll show you the filter, look in the same diagram and you’ll see the door and clip
    1
  23468. At your local Toyota dealership or if you google the part number you’ll find online sellers
    1
  23469. Hi! It doesn’t.it has one behind the vent on the drivers side underneath the seat
    1
  23470. Email me your VIN I’m in Chicago.
    1
  23471. I don’t have a video at the moment for the Prius V I’m working on getting a car to film with
    1
  23472. Hi! On the Prius V it’s different and yes underneath the back seat. I haven’t made a video yet on the Prius V
    1
  23473. Thank you for watching my videos and subscribing. I hear you. Wait until the right deal comes along and I hope you find the right car for a good price.
    1
  23474. Thank you! Absolutely! I am currently looking for a Camry hybrid to film with. Once I get one I’ll film it and post the video
    1
  23475. Hi! I don’t have the part numbers at the moment but for the Prius V you need 2 pieces. One of them changes the mouth of the intake then a filter sits on the new piece. And then after that you just replace or clean the filter
    1
  23476. Hi! The Prius V is different it’s underneath the passenger rear seat. And go to parts.Toyota.com and enter your vin then search for G92DH and you’ll find it
    1
  23477. There is a bolt holding it down. That’s why you only pull it slightly out and not out all the way just enough to remove the filter. You can pull the seat bottom out then remove the bolt if you want to completely remove it
    1
  23478. I wouldn’t install both I’d say that’s a bit of an overkill and could start to restrict flow.
    1
  23479. It’s underneath the back seat. Once I get a car to film I’ll post it
    1
  23480. The filter number I gave you is original not aftermarket. The 2nd gen Prius never came with one so unless there’s one clipped on the vent there’s no worry of double filtering.
    1
  23481. Yes there is. Part no G92DH-47020
    1
  23482. Hi Tony. Unfortunately no but your sienna hybrid has a real filter which works much better than the one that clips on the vent
    1
  23483. I wouldn’t. That’s a big red flag for hybrids
    1
  23484. Not yet!
    1
  23485. Hi! I think that would be a bit much. Use either or
    1
  23486. Hi! It has a similar setup to the Prius but has the filter inside the vent. Your car didn’t have the filter from the factory but one can be added
    1
  23487. Hi! I’m assuming you meant a 2013 CT200?
    1
  23488. It could be too much restriction
    1
  23489. Hi! Email me with the subject Chicago service request and I’ll get back to you
    1
  23490. The part number is in the video you didn’t find it?
    1
  23491. I would. There are 3 vents underneath the back seat with a mesh filter built into them. That mesh should be cleaned if it’s dirty.
    1
  23492. It might create a restriction
    1
  23493. Hi! Dealership
    1
  23494. Hi! I don’t have one yet. Looking for a volunteer car to film with
    1
  23495. I would clean the fan as likely it’s clogged and after cleaning but a filter for ease of cleaning in the future
    1
  23496. Here’s a video with some information for the filter replacement and part numbers https://youtu.be/skSoXGcNpS4
    1
  23497. You can but it from the dealership what mode hybrid and year?
    1
  23498. Hi! If the vent looks clean I wouldn’t worry about. If the vent looks like it has a lot of lint and dirt I would clean the fan
    1
  23499. I wouldn’t as that could create a restriction. Either use the inside or the outside.
    1
  23500. I would get the oil changed every 5k miles if you’re keeping this car long. I don’t have any information on the head rest sorry.
    1
  23501. It should automatically reset once the issue is resolved with the cooling
    1
  23502. Hi Marjan! As long as it’s within the tow capacity it’s good
    1
  23503. Hi! Cars are hard to get at the moment. The Lexus integration should’ve happened a while back but is planned and coming as soon as I can get cars
    1
  23504. I have not yet.
    1
  23505. Hi! Not something sold or done at the dealership
    1
  23506. Hi! I wouldn’t worry about it if it didn’t drop again.
    1
  23507. Hi! Not yet
    1
  23508. Yes that is correct
    1
  23509. Hi! It’s very simple to install on these. I can do a video if I get one to install at home
    1
  23510. Hi’. Not through the dealership or Toyota
    1
  23511. Hi! If I get a volunteer to bring their car in, I can do it
    1
  23512. Hi! Likely the torque vectoring system
    1
  23513. Hi! Yea should be the same
    1
  23514. Likely your best bet is direct from the battery in the back
    1
  23515. Hi! It’s an original harness and can be ordered through the dealership
    1
  23516. Hi! No equivalent to the IS on the Toyota side.
    1
  23517. Thank you for the suggestion! Interesting idea! I’ll look into it
    1
  23518. Hi! Honestly this is an older video the brand escapes my memory. I do not have a video the install Of the hitch
    1
  23519. Hi! While we don’t have the exact same engine in the us to give you a direct answer. That engine is a good engine I am aware of it’s technical specs. As far as the car it is a small engine that doesn’t make much power. It can struggle on steep mountain roads. Your best bet is to try to find a rental and try it out
    1
  23520. Hi! Even the original one especially on the RAV4
    1
  23521. Hi! I don’t think Toyota makes any trailer hitch or harness for the Camry
    1
  23522. Not yet! That is something I’d like to do. Any volunteer cars for the video?
    1
  23523. Hi! Review coming very soon.
    1
  23524. Hi! It’s integrated in the harness
    1
  23525. Good question. I honestly have to check on this one
    1
  23526. Hi! It doesn’t void warranty unless it causes issues. If it’s wired well it shouldn’t cause issues
    1
  23527. Hi! You can relocate it but it would have to be custom. And the same for the led lights
    1
  23528. Very similar as that compartment comes out
    1
  23529. BMW mechanics can service this car as well
    1
  23530. Chicago area
    1
  23531. Probably trying to keep it as reliable as possible
    1
  23532. They almost run out of oil well before the oil change is due
    1
  23533. Hi! Nothing yet new on the oil burning
    1
  23534. No it’s a wrap
    1
  23535. Interesting. Drive it a few hundred miles and fill it again if it does the same take it to the dealership as there might be an issue with the vent
    1
  23536. Email or message privately through Instagram
    1
  23537. Very well said! That’s exactly the point of the Supra and other similar joint ventures
    1
  23538. Good to know! Thanks!
    1
  23539. On the 2021 models it is using oil. So far nothing concrete
    1
  23540. Hi! I honestly haven’t run into this scenario yet. But from training it should flag it but I haven’t seen that yet
    1
  23541. It’s water to air. Freon cooled would be cool!
    1
  23542. Hi! The 2.0 is also a bmw engine. It’s the same engine with 2 cylinders less
    1
  23543. I haven’t checked it. I’ll look into it. Thank you
    1
  23544. Ha! Perhaps they should stop by and I’ll give them a tour of why my position exists.
    1
  23545. Interesting. I’ll look into it.
    1
  23546. Hi daniel. Reregistering the battery shouldn’t change things much. It’s a simple ABL to get it done. Not sure about aftermarket tuning and how connecting the scan tool would lock things.
    1
  23547. Hi! Either of these recalls will update everything in the car. So all ECUs will get updated. As far as tune-ability I wouldn’t have that information.
    1
  23548. Hi! Usually dealerships who sell Supra’s will normally have the Supra specialist work on all of them
    1
  23549. I haven’t seen any cases yet where it’s anything other than summer tires in cold weather activating the traction control.
    1
  23550. Hi! It could be traction control. How cold is the weather and are you on stock tires?
    1
  23551. Hi! It’s a business decision and honestly and even though it hurts to say it but it’s the right one
    1
  23552. Hi! I work at a dealership in the Chicago area. Email for details
    1
  23553. Thanks! I’ll check them
    1
  23554. It is worth it if you know and is ok with the following. This is a sports car. It’s fast, handles great and is a beautiful car to drive. However it’s not going to be as reliable as a Camry. And it will be uncomfortable for long trips and will cost more in maintenance than any other Toyota. If you buy it for the right reasons you will love it, if not then it will be a burden.
    1
  23555. Not from stock.
    1
  23556. You mean the exhaust crackle?
    1
  23557. I would buy because it’s a nice car to drive but wouldn’t buy it if reliability is high on your list.
    1
  23558. After the Supra I am :-)
    1
  23559. It was a financial decision from Toyota. Between no Supra and a bmw Supra I’ll take the bmw Supra
    1
  23560. I don’t really have experience with meth injection systems honestly. We’ll wait and see if there are any severe carbon build up issues in the future with the supra
    1
  23561. Hi! The cooling situation can be normal especially in colder weather. On the horn you can easily change the horns without issues. Just buy the horns that you’d like and install them
    1
  23562. Thank you for your comment Benjamin. If you watch my video beginning to end you’d see that I made many jokes about reliability. It’s a very nice sports car but it’s also a BMW so reliability is not there. If you want me to be honest with you here it goes. It’s not a Camry reliability wise. But it’s a very nice car to drive for people who enjoy driving. I would buy one knowing very well that they’re not reliable. Reliability is not everything on a weekend car. Now buy the Supra as your daily driver and I’ll immediately tell you that’s not a good idea. Have a nice day
    1
  23563. FRS similar video is on the list and will come in the future. The issue that’s causing the scoring on the cylinder is still unknown as to why it’s happening.
    1
  23564. Could be the case
    1
  23565. Consult the owners manual because it’s in there.
    1
  23566. Hi! The official break in period for the Supra is 1200 miles....
    1
  23567. Hi! I don’t think it does.
    1
  23568. No problem! Engine oil from Mobil one is good. I don’t think there’s a Toyota dealership out there that uses original power steering fluid. It’s super expensive and really isn’t anything special.
    1
  23569. Hi! You should be good with the power steering fluid from car quest
    1
  23570. The wheels are big and the tires are low profile. If you live in an area with bad streets and lots of pot holes they could get damaged more easily than other models except the XSE which is the same thing.
    1
  23571. Hi! I think the TRD Camry is a nice package, too low to the ground but otherwise price wise it’s a good deal.
    1
  23572. Oil from toyota that is labeled GR Supra not the regular toyota oil
    1
  23573. Hi Eric! So there’s another theory to this that might give you a different prospective. The Supra move benefits Toyota financially and then they will use that benefit to make more reliable cars for the masses and at the same time the small percentage of Toyota fans who like sports cars get a proper one if they wanted.
    1
  23574. Hi! I am in the Chicago area. It’s a very good sports car. Reliability is not high on any high performance cars list and the Supra is no exception.
    1
  23575. Hi! It could be 2 cases. It would either have the engine running to warm it up or have it charging the battery. Try turning off the climate control and see if it shuts off
    1
  23576. Hi Marjan! It is a strange design indeed! Luckily on the Supra at least the gears can be replaced without pulling the engine out
    1
  23577. Hi! I made a video about how to become a technician. Hard work, dedication and taking pride in what you do
    1
  23578. Hi. Normally they won’t say that but if you ask they can tell you if it was a loaner or not
    1
  23579. I tried the cheap ones they’re highly inaccurate. This one was around $400
    1
  23580. Hi! That’s normal. You’d want to start the engine and shut it off wait a minute then check it
    1
  23581. Hi! When it’s cold did you start it for a minute or two then shut it off before checking ?
    1
  23582. Hi! I was not granted permission to do that.
    1
  23583. Hi! Disconnect the 12v battery
    1
  23584. Hi Eric! Typically no on certified used cars unless there’s a reason to do so
    1
  23585. Yes because they’ll need to be painted
    1
  23586. Hi! If the fluid was always changed on time from new I wouldn’t worry about the filte r
    1
  23587. Not all cars at dealerships certified!
    1
  23588. Hi! Likely not if it’s certified. Avalon’s typically depreciate a lot that’s why they can be had for good prices
    1
  23589. Hi! So the powertrain warranty on certified Toyotas count 7 years from the date of purchase certified. Or when the total mileage of the car reaches 100k miles
    1
  23590. Hi! Small things the 4 cylinder works. I would test drive one to make sure you don’t feel it underpowered. It’s still a truck and can haul things but just don’t count on it towing easily. If you live in a hilly area it might be an issue
    1
  23591. Email with the subject Chicago service request
    1
  23592. That’s what controls the flow of air in the hvac box. It’s behind the dash
    1
  23593. Hi! Do the hoses get hot going to the heater core? You might have a blend door issue
    1
  23594. Hi! They should fix them or at least touch them up before delivery
    1
  23595. Hi! Not necessarily a red flag. Inquire about the type of owner before making sure it’s not an ex rental car
    1
  23596. Hi! Unfortunately I don’t. Let’s see if any viewers know someone they trust and recommend in your area
    1
  23597. You’ll want to leave the car with them and have them fix it
    1
  23598. Yes it is the 1.8. This one had a questionable history with a possible leaky radiator
    1
  23599. Hi! I would bring it to the dealerships attention. Sometimes things are missed but if you say something about it they’ll make it right
    1
  23600. Dealerships should do this inspection however I would still have the car inspected before purchase.
    1
  23601. Hi! Test the 12v battery and replace it if it fails a load test.
    1
  23602. Hi! Due to liability and safety I don’t advise you to modify or attempt to bypass the air bag
    1
  23603. It would be a good idea since it’s the most used seats in every car
    1
  23604. They are generally reliable. Worst case is the rocking feeling from the lower seat frame
    1
  23605. Hi! I love this kind of work. It was a weekend after a long week 😀
    1
  23606. It wouldn’t no.
    1
  23607. In techstream there’s an option to Change the speedo up or down 4 mph to accommodate for different wheel sizes on the same model
    1
  23608. Hi! I’d have to measure it. Most Toyota seats don’t have an adjustment to elongate the seat bottom to support your knees. On some Lexus models they do
    1
  23609. Hi! The bull bar can Interfere with TSS and I have no experience with propane on tundras
    1
  23610. Hi. Which year Tacoma?
    1
  23611. Hi! Dealership mechanics do this kind of work very regularly.
    1
  23612. Hi! You can disconnect the battery to be safe but as long as you don’t turn the key on with the seat disconnected you should be good
    1
  23613. Hi! Seat frame. It shouldn’t move.
    1
  23614. Hi! The heater element was attached to the seat cover
    1
  23615. Yeah that does happen with the seat frame. Wish they allow repairs on seats
    1
  23616. Hi! You bring a very good point and one that makes absolute sense. However car manufacturers need to keep costs down. Most people will take lower car purchase cost over an overbuilt drivers seat. I can tell you me and you would pay more for it though and I’m sure many more
    1
  23617. Hi! Perhaps on the regular Prius. Likely it’s the same seat.
    1
  23618. Hi Phillip. The one I’m using is from matco tools and likely overpriced for diy. I’ll try to add some recommendations in my Amazon store
    1
  23619. Hi! Usually 2-3 hours of labor. Seat parts are usually a bit on the pricey side
    1
  23620. Hi! Honestly I would stick with the recommendation for your area. Different areas could have different built cars.
    1
  23621. I don’t know how I feel about zip ties. The factory uses hog rings for a reason.
    1
  23622. Hi! If you don’t have a concern with comfort I wouldn’t change it.
    1
  23623. Yes! Coming up actually! I am filming as we speak
    1
  23624. Hi! It’s behind the intake manifold. Make life easier and remove the intake.
    1
  23625. The springs come part of the seat frame which is expensive
    1
  23626. Hi! It’s possible to do but involves custom wiring
    1
  23627. Hi Gary! You want to isolate the exact location of the noise. Is it the seat bottom or the back. Then you’ll want to some light disassembly of the covers and reinstall and have someone hold various parts of the seat as you make the noise happen to isolate is it a seat frame or cushion noise. When you’ll remove the seat take it apart and test it open until you find the source. If this has lumbar support they love to make that cardboard sound try adjusting it
    1
  23628. You can reuse the drain plug gasket
    1
  23629. Hi! I would ask the dealership to do that. You paid a small fortune for the car that should’ve been checked. Alternatively you can correct the oil level by draining some out.
    1
  23630. Hi! It took around 1-1.5 actual. I’ve done his too many times at work and experience with this kind of work helps a lot.
    1
  23631. Thank you Larry!
    1
  23632. Leather.
    1
  23633. Maybe 😉
    1
  23634. Hi vital! Anything is possible. Only issue is liability. Professional mechanics tend to shy away from modifications that involve an airbag
    1
  23635. Hi! Hybrids won’t harm their engines by shutting on and off. On start stop technology there’s usually a button to disable it if it bothers you
    1
  23636. Hi! They’re about the same really.
    1
  23637. Is it a rotten egg smell?
    1
  23638. Hi! It shouldn’t be an issue if maintained correctly
    1
  23639. Hi! Is it a squeak noise that you feel in the pedal as well?
    1
  23640. Hi! You can downshift your hybrid but it won’t feel exactly the same as a conventional automatic transmission downshifting. You can use the S mode with the + or - and it will make artificial shifts.
    1
  23641. A lot of viewers asked about this one. I’m going to rush this one out and you’ll see it soon.
    1
  23642. Hi! It’s still normal mode but will make the artificial shifts a bit longer
    1
  23643. It will take some time for me to go back in the years of the Camry but eventually I will get to it.
    1
  23644. Yes
    1
  23645. You can always get the XSE RAV4 hybrid which will have a slightly more sportier handling while still getting great gas mileage. The V6 is very nice but depending on why you want this car you might prioritize gas mileage over performance
    1
  23646. Hi! This applies to hybrids. However some of the newer non hybrids have similar modes and they are also software only and no physical changes
    1
  23647. Yes you can.
    1
  23648. 😂
    1
  23649. Sorry martin. Andriy is correct. The more you demand from the hybrid system acceleration wise the more it will consume. If you accelerate hard on hybrids they will immediately turn on the engine and use both driving forces electric and engine to drive the car.
    1
  23650. B mode explained in this video https://youtu.be/0RqR14yJbMc
    1
  23651. Yes you can switch modes on the fly
    1
  23652. Ideally yes but if you must you can replace 2 tires at a time on the same axle
    1
  23653. Hi! What’s the outside temperature and are you using the defroster?
    1
  23654. If the 12v battery is dead the car won’t start because it needs to power the computers to power up the hybrid system. If the hybrid battery is completely dead the car won’t start because it can’t power up the motor that would start up the engine. Hybrid batteries rarely go completely dead as the computer will shut down everything long before it’s actually 100% dead but if that does happen it won’t even power on anymore.
    1
  23655. Hi! You can use eco mode all the time. Use power when you feel like you need to take off faster. The parking brake release is there in case you need to push the car or just simply need to release it
    1
  23656. Hi! You can use one however in winter months with cold temperatures it will fog up the windows.
    1
  23657. Yes but the way the throttle responds is better.
    1
  23658. I would use normal honestly and let the cars stability control do the rest
    1
  23659. They need to check the car well. Including the fan and the cooling system for the battery. Also they need to check the brakes for locking and the tires as well
    1
  23660. Yes you can switch modes at any time at any speeds
    1
  23661. Hi! The EV mode itself works up to 20 mph if memory serves right and it will engage and disengage during normal driving as well.
    1
  23662. Thank you for watching! If going up a hill I would use normal mode. If you felt like you needed more power use power or sport mode.
    1
  23663. Yes
    1
  23664. I would use normal mode in snow
    1
  23665. Hi! No mechanical issues if you use it eco at all times
    1
  23666. Hi! It should be good
    1
  23667. Hi! I would tow in normal mode.
    1
  23668. Hi! I’d give the car a minute or two and you should be good to go without issues
    1
  23669. Good question. In eco mode the load on the battery is less because the software switches to eco driving.
    1
  23670. Hi! Write your question here and I’ll get back to you
    1
  23671. The new sienna is nice. A bit down on power for some but I would drive it and decide. I will be doing a review on it soon.
    1
  23672. I would use normal or sport(power)
    1
  23673. Not really. Try to use regenerative braking as much as possible to recharge the battery
    1
  23674. Hi! In EV mode the engine doesn’t run.
    1
  23675. Hi! That’s not the case with Toyota hybrids. Review this series to know how Toyota hybrids work https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeFzfl0Q8rQUgJLQheNbttBtKT6iSOX4D
    1
  23676. Hi! I wouldn’t use to just slow down the car on a flat surface
    1
  23677. Hi! Check your rear brakes
    1
  23678. Hi! Could you elaborate further on the gear being in 4th are you in S mode when this happens?
    1
  23679. Hi! Honestly that is typical age/battery drop and I wouldn’t spend any extra money chasing it down.
    1
  23680. Hi! Congratulations on your rav4 hybrid purchase! No issue being in eco mode during break in
    1
  23681. It’s simple you can do it yourself. You will need a torque wrench and a few screw drivers.
    1
  23682. Hi! For the RAV4 prime is it outside the car and underneath directly between the rear wheel and the drivers rear door
    1
  23683. Google Toyota original parts. There are many sites that sell original parts.
    1
  23684. Hi! The drive modes shouldn’t affect the battery life.
    1
  23685. Could you record the video when eventually it gets hot and it happens? Id like to see what it’s doing
    1
  23686. Hi! What year and model Toyota do you have? And how many miles?
    1
  23687. Hi! The indicator is a reference for the charge. Getting 2.5 kms on EV mode is impressive on its own! As that’s over the advertised number of kms you can go on EV mode.
    1
  23688. Hi David! Very good question and honestly I haven’t tried that.
    1
  23689. I haven’t seen on crack. However I’ve seen manufacturing flaws that you can see in the glass. I would bring it to the dealerships attention and see what they can do.
    1
  23690. Hi! I meant you can jump your own hybrid from another car. But don’t use your hybrid to jump start another car which is gasoline only.
    1
  23691. It could be driving style not about driving hard. Research how to hyper mile hybrids and see what you can change about your driving habits
    1
  23692. Hi! Many factors add to this. Things like your tires, their pressure ... etc. start with the basics. Do you use the correct oil viscosity? Are your tires inflated properly?
    1
  23693. I’m working on a video that will explain that mode in detail
    1
  23694. Hi! It does have 3 mesh filters underneath the back seat.
    1
  23695. Hi! Likely normal mode
    1
  23696. Hi! I would connect directly at the battery.
    1
  23697. Hi! So the shifter numbers are a simulated manual shifts. You can use them as engine braking which used to be just one selection called B mode.
    1
  23698. Hi! Sorry I didn’t understand your question. The main dealer is selling a car without what option or component?
    1
  23699. Hi! On your Camry hybrid I would start it give it a minute in cold weather and you’re good to go
    1
  23700. Hi! Newer Toyota hybrids will change the steering feel in sport mode
    1
  23701. Hi! You can switch between modes as needed without issues.
    1
  23702. Hi daniel! I can through the channel. Was there a specific subject you wanted to see?
    1
  23703. Yes that’s ok
    1
  23704. Hi! Find it here https://youtu.be/WNo-VXJSg7s
    1
  23705. Hi! It should have a slight advantage of mpgs
    1
  23706. Hi! Yes it can be
    1
  23707. Hi! Thank you for watching my videos! So trail mode is going to max the power of the hybrid system to provide even traction in rough road condition. Because it maxes out the hybrid system output it’s not advisable that you use it for normal driving. If you’re driving on a dirt road and find that the car is slipping and sliding and getting stuck then use it. Otherwise I wouldn’t.
    1
  23708. Thank you for watching my video! Here’s a link to another video series I made on the new dynamic force engine with details of its new technology and my opinions on it https://youtu.be/9GWKBbEMCC4
    1
  23709. Hi! Could you elaborate further on your question?
    1
  23710. Hi! The drive modes might have nothing to do with the current issue. Codes would need to pulled to understand what’s going on with the car.
    1
  23711. Hi! It could be possible. I haven’t tried it myself
    1
  23712. Hi! Yes to a degree
    1
  23713. I would film a video with it doing it and show it to the dealership.
    1
  23714. Are you using the sync button? If you’re not and it’s still out take it back to the dealership
    1
  23715. Yes
    1
  23716. Both actually. Depends on your driving conditions
    1
  23717. Hi! That’s normal it will use EV range first
    1
  23718. Hi! I have a full series explaining plug in hybrids and how they work starting with the Prius prime going into the RAV4 prime. Here’s the link to the series https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeFzfl0Q8rQUHqyIDtNANsGfDrgjRxhGg
    1
  23719. Hi! Depends on the model and it’s range but yes that’s the idea
    1
  23720. Hi! It will cycle on and off as needed to charge the battery
    1
  23721. If you downshift into a lower number it will have a braking effect.
    1
  23722. Hi! The newer and older motors actually last a pretty long time.
    1
  23723. Hi! The engine needs to warm up
    1
  23724. Hi! Make sure it’s turned on and try it with the cruise control engaged on a clearly marked street lane wise. If it doesn’t work I would take it to the dealership
    1
  23725. Hi! Not really it’s similar
    1
  23726. Thank you for watching! Actually a review of the Venza is coming very soon which you might find useful. You are correct on eco mode being good in slippery conditions.
    1
  23727. Hi! Here’s a link to my video on B mode https://youtu.be/0RqR14yJbMc
    1
  23728. Hi! It’s more for off roading than snow. You don’t want to do normal driving in trail mode
    1
  23729. Hi! Depends on the conditions but usually a very short distance
    1
  23730. Trail mode in hybrid Rav4s is designed for off roading. Try not to use it on pavement and higher speeds.
    1
  23731. Hi! Yes that is the idea behind eco mode. Also 60-100km is a good speed for fuel economy.
    1
  23732. Hi! You can disconnect the 12 v battery or be prepared to possible need to jump start it
    1
  23733. Hi! It doesn’t waste gas too much
    1
  23734. Hi! It is a dynamic force engine. Slightly different than the non hybrid
    1
  23735. I totally agree on the EV mode. Toyota if you’re listening it’s time for the Avalon prime or at least a Camry prime.
    1
  23736. I would use normal mode.
    1
  23737. Hi! They are both good reliability wise. I would drive the hybrid and see how you feel about the power level. If you felt it underpowered go with the gas only.
    1
  23738. No.but check the transmission fluid level
    1
  23739. Hi! I would use krown as they’re awesome honestly.
    1
  23740. 3500-5000 depends on the model
    1
  23741. Hi! I have! I did one focusing on common problems and a full series going through the 4runner front to back. Find them here https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeFzfl0Q8rQWEfqiaOGG3wzXKNughcpzi
    1
  23742. Hi! I haven’t seen one yet
    1
  23743. Hi! Towing just under your limit is ok but you should be aware of the maintenance that accompany towing near the limit. For example transmission fluid changes become an absolute must
    1
  23744. Hi! Short of disconnecting the bulbs no
    1
  23745. Hi! Unfortunately it doesn’t
    1
  23746. Contact your dealership and have them check for campaigns if it’s available for your car
    1
  23747. Hi! After some time of driving it will get a bit better
    1
  23748. Hi! It can’t be disabled easily. It’s an emissions device that shouldn’t be tampered with.
    1
  23749. This particular one in the video didn’t
    1
  23750. Hi! I would tow in normal
    1
  23751. Hi! It’s normal that it shuts off when you open the door. Try starting the car and shutting it off the lock it and try again
    1
  23752. Hi! It will need to be pressure tested. Did you top off the coolant and see if it drops again?
    1
  23753. Hi! Unfortunately by design it will always shut off due to a limitation in the security of the key
    1
  23754. Hi! Google Toyota experience center and you’ll find their phone number
    1
  23755. In my opinion they’re about the same. It works well at higher speeds with clearly marked lanes. Doesn’t work as good at lower speeds and when lane marks are faded
    1
  23756. Hi! Just to verify you’re referring to the remote engine starter? Or auto stop start?
    1
  23757. Hi! Did you set it on auto?
    1
  23758. Hi! They are both reliable with the 4runner having a slight edge
    1
  23759. No information yet on the 2023 model
    1
  23760. The hybrid system is reliable if you take care of the fan filter which cools the hybrid battery. Very easy to maintain and inexpensive if you pay someone to replace it or clean it. Otherwise if power is not a top priority the hybrid gets very good gas mileage for the size
    1
  23761. Hi! How often do you drive the car and do you store it for long periods of time?
    1
  23762. The DCM update shouldn’t affect your car but wouldn’t hurt to have the dealership check it
    1
  23763. Hi! How often are you using this car?
    1
  23764. Hybrids are for gas mileage. They’re slow but very good on gas for the size. Now compare a V6 highlander to the palisade for a fair comparison
    1
  23765. Hi! The starter on these models has a life cycle and a code will set to replace it.
    1
  23766. Hi! Depends on your needs and budget. The highlander hybrid is a good option
    1
  23767. Hi! I do work on lexus as well. Need to get some Lexus’s to start the coverage for them too
    1
  23768. Hi! The hold unlock to open everything needs to be enabled by the dealership. The remote start needs diagnosis if it’s not working
    1
  23769. That’s a first. It completely shut off or it set codes?
    1
  23770. Hi! No it cannot unfortunate
    1
  23771. Hi! I’d have to check but most likely yea but you’ll need everything that comes with the bumper bot just the shell
    1
  23772. There’s no published exact figure for each. Normally it’s not a lot but the instant delivery of that torque is the nice thing about them.
    1
  23773. Hi! You can use your cruise control as long as needed and possible without any harm.
    1
  23774. Hi! Unfortunately it’s not possible to permanently turn it off. Just with the button
    1
  23775. Hi! I did review the new venza. Here’s the review https://youtu.be/2TxBiMQCLlg
    1
  23776. Every 60k or 6 years
    1
  23777. Usually cooler for the transmission. Basically it’s ready to tow
    1
  23778. Not all have it.
    1
  23779. Hi! It does have a towing package. And the wiring is not all there you’d have to run it
    1
  23780. Hi! That should be the improved version. Keep up the maintenance and you shouldn’t have issues with it
    1
  23781. Hi! If this is a priority I would go with the V6 in this generation
    1
  23782. I’d say the previous generation and the newest one 2014+
    1
  23783. The water pump is not hard to replace on these. Neither is the radiator. Not as simple as the old ones but no need to remove the trans to do it.
    1
  23784. Hi! Which maintenance for the cooling system?
    1
  23785. Hi! You’re good to open the butterfly but not with force or fast
    1
  23786. Hi! Yes many has voiced concerns over it but so far no fix for it
    1
  23787. Bring it to the dealerships attention
    1
  23788. Hi! Haven’t seen one leak yet. Has the windshield been replaced?
    1
  23789. Hi! If it’s not a hybrid nothing special just standard bleeding
    1
  23790. Toyota new global architecture
    1
  23791. Hi! They have different tuning that’s why they use premium fuel
    1
  23792. None yet that I have seen
    1
  23793. It should be
    1
  23794. Hi! That has a locking tensioner you should be okay.
    1
  23795. That could be normal. Hard to tell on the video honestly
    1
  23796. Hi mark. Which year sienna?
    1
  23797. Some of them do yes
    1
  23798. Hi! It’s always possible but not something simple you’d need to disassemble the center console and “surgically” remove it
    1
  23799. In this case you should be ok with a highlander hybrid
    1
  23800. Hi! There are some updates for the Camry but the car needs inspecting to see which software it has. This is a paid update unless it’s under warranty
    1
  23801. Hi! It will need some basic diagnosis there’s a small computer for the heater underneath the seat. Swap passenger to driver side if that’s not it then it can be the seat heater element itself
    1
  23802. Hi! First check if your car is affected by the recent software update to correct some inconsistencies
    1
  23803. Hi! You could connect one yes. And it’s simple red to red black to black
    1
  23804. Hi! Do you mean the lines are not moving V
    1
  23805. Hi! Hard to put time or mileage on that. But usually a long time
    1
  23806. Hi! Parking brake shoes rarely wear out and usually last the life of the car
    1
  23807. Hi! If it’s within the towing capacity it wouldn’t cause damage
    1
  23808. BZ4X is coming soon
    1
  23809. Very mild. More like dirt road type
    1
  23810. Hi! Is this car parked under trees? Try to use alcohol to clean the window and the seal and see if it gets better
    1
  23811. Yes
    1
  23812. Hi! No real information about the 2023 RX yet
    1
  23813. Hi! Other than a shield I wouldn’t do anything else.
    1
  23814. Drain and fill at this mileage
    1
  23815. Look in front of the ac condenser behind the grille
    1
  23816. Hi! Without an aftermarket throttle controller it’s not possible unfortunately. That’s by design to improve emissions
    1
  23817. Hi! Just fluid changes every 30-50k miles
    1
  23818. Hi! The 1GR is a great engine. Just it’s old and they had to move on from it for emissions
    1
  23819. Hard to tell without checking it if it’s going to be a big repair or not. Have the dealership take care of it
    1
  23820. Hi! I haven’t tried it myself honestly.
    1
  23821. They did change it around 2019
    1
  23822. It is super annoying but not broken. If they do anything, they will do it to make people happy not to make the transmission more reliable
    1
  23823. Hi! I haven’t driven a Tacoma with tunes so I can’t comment or confirm if they do fix anything. As far as damage possibly no, but it could affect the overall emissions of the truck.
    1
  23824. Hi! Recheck it for leaks every oil changes up to a year. If they last that much likely you won’t have this issue again for a very long time
    1
  23825. They are overall very good. What’s going on with yours?
    1
  23826. I don’t have experience with aftermarket tuning. Some folks talked about it and said it makes things better. Just know any tuning will void your warranty if there are issues with the transmission
    1
  23827. Hi! You’re within the towing capacity of the truck so you’re good. Just make sure you follow up with good maintenance. Especially the transmission fluid which becomes mandatory at 60k or 6 years
    1
  23828. With trucks it’s hard to estimate when’s the new model change because they usually run longer. If we look at the previous Tacoma which spanned 10 years you could say 2026 will be the last year
    1
  23829. Hi! It won’t hurt the transmission
    1
  23830. Hi! You want to use gl3. Some fluids that are specific for the manual transmission will work like synchromesh. GL5 is not good for your soft metal parts
    1
  23831. Yes they are in the brakes and suspension part
    1
  23832. I honestly haven’t experimented with one of these tunes. Owners seem to like them a lot but haven’t gotten a chance to look into a truck with one installed
    1
  23833. Hi! This issue is somewhat still trending and random on the Tacoma. Without a specific pattern or exact information on what’s causing it I can’t really share a lot of information on it until it’s available
    1
  23834. Hi! Honestly I don’t have experience re gearing the diffs. It would void your warranty on the differential itself and the 4WD system.
    1
  23835. Every 30k miles is a good interval
    1
  23836. La grange road by countryside
    1
  23837. Close but no 😉
    1
  23838. Hi! Depends on what is tuned. If it’s tuned to get more power possibly it’s bad for reliability. If it’s tuned to improve shift points and throttle response then it’s minimal effect
    1
  23839. It doesn’t learn in S mode as it’s manual shifting
    1
  23840. Hi! Do you need the open bed of a truck?
    1
  23841. Hi! At that point in the video I didn’t mention rav4s?
    1
  23842. Hi! I don’t have access at the moment. Reply to this and I’ll get back to you
    1
  23843. Likely yes
    1
  23844. If it only grinds in 3rd gear and not other gears that could be an issue
    1
  23845. It’s not an issue as it’s not something you can avoid
    1
  23846. Hi! Sometimes they will stagger the recalls to throttle parts availability but they usually do that by model year and they’re both the same year. Interesting.
    1
  23847. Hi! I wouldn’t use the thermometer on trucks. Here’s a video specific to Toyota trucks with an alternative method without a scan tool https://youtu.be/NUAuGmDGntY
    1
  23848. The Fj has a good transmission. Some reports of shuddering because of original fluid at high mileage but otherwise they’re trouble free
    1
  23849. Thank you for watching my videos. The brake fluid will vary. Best way is to get a tester and test the moisture content. On average every 2-3 years.
    1
  23850. Hi labeeb. So every time you replace brakes you can either machine the rotors to give them a new surface however rotors have a minimum thickness if they’re less than the minimum they would need replacement. Sometimes they get rusty in the rust belt and to remove the rust they’d go below minimum thickness. So replacement is needed in that casw
    1
  23851. Thank you for watching! I would avoid hard stops the first 100-200 miles and that’s about it.
    1
  23852. No
    1
  23853. Hi! Not yet. Will have one in the future
    1
  23854. Hi! Which Toyota model uses 13mm hex? I haven’t seen a single one except the non Toyota’s with a Toyota badge
    1
  23855. Hi! I wouldn’t open the bleeder. You could introduce air into the caliper and then end up needing to bleed it.
    1
  23856. Shims fit kit and make sure the rubber plug stays
    1
  23857. Chicago
    1
  23858. Thank you!
    1
  23859. Hi! Which model as a few of them differ?
    1
  23860. Hi Eric! I would eventually get to it in the future once I get a car to replace rear brakes on
    1
  23861. Hi! I wouldn’t do that as you can introduce air in the caliper doing it this way.
    1
  23862. Hi! Adjust the start wheel. Adjust it until you feel a very slight drag on the drum
    1
  23863. The Regen braking on your rav4 actually always over rides the hydraulic brakes. The only time the Regen brakes turn off completely is when you go into neutral. The computer will use the hydraulic brakes as needed and only when needed. It tries to use Regen as much as possible.
    1
  23864. Could you email me your VIN no as there might be more than one option for parts.
    1
  23865. Thank you! Any torque specs you need that you can't find email me and I'll do my best to get them to you. Regarding grease really either use the expensive toyota stuff or any grease from the parts store that's specifically designed for brakes will work.
    1
  23866. I would do that. Also while at it clean the pads and inspect them. Old factory pads tend to separate and break when kept on the car for a very long time. Inspect them and see how they look.
    1
  23867. Hi! They should come off easily but installing them can be a challenge. So on the one with the metal ring you can either install the boot first then install the ring or if you have the piston out then it’s much easier. Be careful rebuilding calipers make sure there are no leaks and that you are using the correct grease
    1
  23868. Hi! It depends on the condition of the rotor. First if it’s clean and not pitted or heavily rusted then it should be measured. If it’s below specification it should be replaced. If it’s within specifications then it can be cut or resurfaced
    1
  23869. Hi! Interesting. It shouldn’t be this way. If you pump the pedal when it’s cold does the fluid drop?
    1
  23870. Hi! Not yet. Once I get one I’ll post a video
    1
  23871. Hi! You don’t have to do anything after brakes replacement. However periodically testing the brake fluid for moisture content is encouraged and only when it’s high replace it
    1
  23872. Most toyota models don't have the pins in the rear. Very few of them do. If the original ones didn't then your car is not equipped with them. Some Toyota models don't have them in the front either.
    1
  23873. I did in the last part of the series
    1
  23874. Hi! If you use the correct paint and mask the piston and take the bracket off you’re good. Just don’t spray it installed on the car.
    1
  23875. Thank you for watching my video. That should not be the case with the calipers because they have individual hydraulic lines not a single line for the rear
    1
  23876. Hi! Rotors have specs for minimum thickness. You can resurface them as long as they don’t go below minimum thickness
    1
  23877. Hi! If they are warped they’ll cause the vibration which could lead to noise
    1
  23878. 😂 Part 2 is coming up in a few hours. Part three is tomorrow. Which will be a premiere
    1
  23879. Hi! Yes you can replace the rotors now
    1
  23880. Thank you Mathew!
    1
  23881. Hi Ahmed. A short test drive after is all that’s needed. Ceramic pads sometimes take a few drives to get to max braking but not something significant where it’s noticeable.
    1
  23882. Hi! You can replace just the one
    1
  23883. Anything can happen with rust my brother
    1
  23884. Hi! Is the noise when you first apply the brakes when reversing?
    1
  23885. This video is planned and actually the car is available I just need to get a few videos out that are already filmed and I'll make the video on how to retract the electronic parking brake to safely change the brakes.
    1
  23886. Hi! Things happen. There’s no way to prove what happened. Replace the bolts with originals and you can torque them to spec
    1
  23887. Hi! Southwest Chicago suburbs
    1
  23888. It’s still the same BMW Supra
    1
  23889. Hi! It’s not mine! It’s a loan for a review coming up next week. I wish I own one though nice car
    1
  23890. Thank you! Initially work alone
    1
  23891. I wish! It’s a review car for an upcoming review
    1
  23892. 😃 yep! But it’s not mine
    1
  23893. Hi! Still at the dealership until the shop opens
    1
  23894. Hi! I still work at the dealership. And it’s every mechanics dream to own their own shop but it usually doesn’t happen. I am blessed and thankful to have the opportunity to open one and keep my speciality.
    1
  23895. I’m hoping to find time next week to peel the carpet to see what condition it’s in
    1
  23896. Hi! I would set the parking brake on auto mode and forget it. In that case just shift into park normally and the car will do the rest
    1
  23897. Thank you! I’ll look into this color
    1
  23898. Just me for now.
    1
  23899. I’ll detail it in a video that’s upcoming to show and tell
    1
  23900. Hi! Code requirement to open the shop
    1
  23901. Hi! Thank you. It is a Supra I’m driving for a review but it’s not mine ( I wish it was 😆)
    1
  23902. Thank you! If memory serves right these didn’t have the parking brake on the caliper il need to double check
    1
  23903. 😂 it’s not mine! It’s a loan for a review video but I wish it was mine! It’s really nice
    1
  23904. Hi! Honestly both are good options for long term ownership. Go with what fits your needs and budget
    1
  23905. Hi! I’m still at the dealership now but will dedicate to the shop when it opens
    1
  23906. You’ll need a capable scan tool that can read codes from all systems
    1
  23907. Hi! Was the check engine light on as well? And did the messages disappear? You’ll want to scan codes to see what’s going on
    1
  23908. Hi! I do need it for a few tools here and there and I need something quiet and future proof in case I add more technicians
    1
  23909. Hi! Unfortunately I won’t be able to perform recalls at the shop
    1
  23910. Hi! Thank you! That is a Supra and you’ll see a video on it soon
    1
  23911. Hi! I wish! That’s a loan car for an upcoming review
    1
  23912. Hi! Try to run an engine oil cleaner
    1
  23913. Thank you Sir! I really appreciate it!
    1
  23914. Hi Stephen! At this time I don’t have plans to utilize the space over the offices but in the future I might
    1
  23915. Hi! I am still working at the dealership now. When the shop opens I’ll make the switch
    1
  23916. Thank you David! We’ll speak soon
    1
  23917. Hi! Hard to tell if I don’t hear it honestly
    1
  23918. It was a gift from an event
    1
  23919. Thank you Rory! I haven’t thought that far yet but this info definitely helps and I appreciate it. We’re looking at fiber optics internet up to 1-3 gig
    1
  23920. Hi! You can add one. It wouldn’t be wrong but potentially difficult to make effective if it’s a smart key
    1
  23921. Yes the logo remains the same
    1
  23922. Hi! Initially no tire machine and the brake lathe is an ammco
    1
  23923. Hi! The Supra is a loan for a review that’s coming up soon.
    1
  23924. Southwest Chicago suburbs
    1
  23925. Hi! Many equipment still runs on air
    1
  23926. It makes a significant difference if you rinse the salt off after the salt season is over. Imagine some people will count on run to hopefully wash the salt off
    1
  23927. Hi Mike! I’ve never worked at northbrook
    1
  23928. Dealerships. But compare prices.
    1
  23929. Hi! Not really sure about this one.
    1
  23930. Hi! Dc charging is not possible with the RAV4 prime.
    1
  23931. Hi! Thank you for watching! I don’t know someone but I’ll ask around
    1
  23932. The same since at least 2010
    1
  23933. Yes you can.
    1
  23934. Rain is just water and it doesn’t corrode at the rate that road salt does
    1
  23935. Hi! As far as I know they don’t
    1
  23936. KDSS is a suspension option on the 4Runner. See this video for more information https://youtu.be/6Wavg6av4eE
    1
  23937. Hi! I work at a dealership. The coating is usually sublet to another shop to do it. I’m in the Chicago area
    1
  23938. Hi rony! Contact me via social media and I’ll get back to you
    1
  23939. They sealed them in the ones under the recall?
    1
  23940. Hi! It’s always hard to find a new 4Runner and worse now. The army green is always a rare color to find and you’d usually have to order one. Cement is a bit more common especially now but still hard to find
    1
  23941. I would research online, compare prices and warranties on products then call your local dealership and see how their prices and products compare
    1
  23942. Hi! Little experience with the m103 other than their over complicated fuel injection which can be fun to work on
    1
  23943. This engine should have red coolant. 2003-04 was the transition year for some models to pink coolant
    1
  23944. I would! The schedule is a bit backed up now but should get better by June
    1
  23945. Hi! The SC is good but it’s also older so make sure it’s in good condition
    1
  23946. Sometimes they’ll switch suppliers throughout production but it is a bit odd to have 2 different on the same engine. Not an issue as they’re both the same spec plug
    1
  23947. Hi! They’ll have a mark at the tip of the plug where the coil goes. Do they seem like consistent marks?
    1
  23948. Hi! Not on this one. Avalons are less prone to breaking their door handle for some reason compared to other models with the same style handle
    1
  23949. Hi! I wouldn’t replace the timing chain they can last a lot more with good maintenance. Just keep up the maintenance honestly
    1
  23950. Hi! I wouldn’t replace the coils. Just the plugs and pcv valve while you’re there.
    1
  23951. Hi! I’ve seen original toyota timing belts on these older ones go a lot more and still look the same as the one In the video.
    1
  23952. Fluid film or even undercoating
    1
  23953. Hi! Did you replace the brakes with originals or aftermarket? Drilled rotors do a little but not miracles honestly. I would consider original Rotors at least
    1
  23954. Hi! That is normal for Toyotas
    1
  23955. It is the same style Handle but at least from the avalons I’ve seen they seem to be less prone to breaking than the Camry with the similar style handle
    1
  23956. Hit and miss experience honestly. Some of them are good. I don’t like their ball joints
    1
  23957. Quick jack by bendpak
    1
  23958. Hi! That’s normal for the high idle when it’s cold
    1
  23959. Hi! Without diagnosis it’s hard to tell honestly. Could be the controller under the seat or the heater element itself
    1
  23960. The later ones are slightly better 2003-2004 but even the early ones are still great. If you’re in rusty land the later ones are slightly better
    1
  23961. Yes sir!
    1
  23962. Yes and this is something very common with this Avalon and the next generation as well
    1
  23963. Hi! This is a quick jack by bendpak. It’s just under $2000
    1
  23964. Hi! It’s likely burning oil. Consider shorter interval oil changes and keep an eye on the oil legel
    1
  23965. Hi! I wouldn’t call it prematurely at 15-20 years of age honestly. Not as common as some make it to be
    1
  23966. Hi! Yes it does have vvti
    1
  23967. Hi! You can service the fluid. Here’s a video that shows you how https://youtu.be/eRxSu4-4ojo
    1
  23968. Hi! That has a timing chain which should last the life of the engine with good maintenance
    1
  23969. Hi! I like them! I actually used to own one! Exactly the same year
    1
  23970. Yes there is!
    1
  23971. Honestly there hasn’t been a lot of years of Avalon that are not good.
    1
  23972. Leaking vacuum booster? Try disconnecting the vacuum line and plugging it and see if it goes away
    1
  23973. How are the engine mounts?
    1
  23974. Hi! Any carbon build up?
    1
  23975. Hi! Yes you can but you’d need to take the strut apart
    1
  23976. They are usually ok but certain years in the ES300 had some issues with loosing reverse and having a few issues. People will say a lot of things but most of the issues come down to lack of maintenance honestly. Many examples make it to very high mileage with proper maintenance which on that transmission is every 30k miles on the trans fluid
    1
  23977. Hi! At this mileage and age I would consider replacing the transmission fluid and coolant first. Then lower on the priority list is Brake fluid. If you regularly drive highway then just clean the throttle body. If you always drive city and repeated short trips perhaps consider and induction service
    1
  23978. Very common in these
    1
  23979. Hi! Let me ask you this to make sure I’m understanding correctly. Does it feel like your left turns are tighter than your right turns?
    1
  23980. They honestly didn’t. Engines got replaced that sludged but those that took care of them with on time oil changes didn’t have issues
    1
  23981. Hi! It’s a quick jack lift by bend pak and it was around $2000
    1
  23982. Hi! It will make a difference
    1
  23983. Hi Renie! It technically is almost due for replacement. You have a bit of time until around 137k
    1
  23984. Toyota timing belts last a very long time. Usually they go when the water pump goes otherwise it’s very rare to see one break
    1
  23985. Hi! If the transmission is doing well I would leave it alone
    1
  23986. Hi! I did a full series on the 4runner explaining everything about it and plan in the near future to do another one as an update
    1
  23987. Hi! I did a video on the white Supra and more coming. Find it here https://youtu.be/23kwB5WK-QE
    1
  23988. Hi! It varies by model
    1
  23989. Hi! Likely torque converter was the transmission fluid ever replaced?
    1
  23990. Hi! Video coming out soon on this topix
    1
  23991. Hi! Nothing really to lubricate
    1
  23992. Hi! I wouldn’t
    1
  23993. Hi! I wouldn’t use anything it will make it seize more honestly.
    1
  23994. It’s a bit different on the sequoia
    1
  23995. A bit different on the tundra
    1
  23996. Hi! Don’t have the exact model handy but it’s made by worx
    1
  23997. Hi! No there’s no need
    1
  23998. Hi! Usually they either make noise like a roaring noise or have play
    1
  23999. I don’t know of an accurate one that I’ve tested.
    1
  24000. Hi Jim! It will vary by temperature and many other factors like charge level. If it’s very low the SOH is affected.
    1
  24001. If there’s rust on the cylinder head unfortunately repairs might not be as successful. You can easily remove the ignition coils and plugs to inspect with a baroscope
    1
  24002. If everything else with the car checks out it’s of course a worthy investment. One thing I would do if possible is look down the cylinders to see if there’s any standing rust on the cylinder walls
    1
  24003. Hi Marjan! Thank you for watching! So on hybrids this tester will only test the 12v battery and it works well. Typically 12v batteries on hybrids aren’t reliable past 5 years. I would start testing them around 3 years and consider replacement at 5+ years
    1
  24004. Hi! I don’t have experience with a hybrid battery tester tool. Toyota doesn’t make one.
    1
  24005. Hi! Honestly I wouldn’t make the change. The canister works great and if everything is done right it would last the life of the car and not cause issues. While the adapter could work perfectly fine, you have no guarantee that it won’t cause issues.
    1
  24006. They don’t recommend a specific one but the one I’ve tried and seen that it works good is the battery maintainer by weather tech
    1
  24007. Hi! You can use a battery maintainer for the 12v battery not the hybrid battery.

  24008. Hi! The results were 90% of the time similar to the midtronics but one case where it was different is when the battery was bad and had a low charge at the same time, the midtronics would charge the battery and actually retest it and show that’s it’s bad. This tester didn’t pick it up as bad but picked it up as recharge
    1
  24009. Hi! No problem with using AGM but it might be a bit overkill for the price difference
    1
  24010. 😂 that’s a good one
    1
  24011. I just tested one here it doesn’t do that? It just clicks when you reach the end of its travel? I would have the dealership take a look and compare it to another car to make sure it feels the same.
    1
  24012. Hi! That noise that you hear is just the pedal reaching the end of its travel. No real purpose to it other than two plastic components making contact.
    1
  24013. Thank you!
    1
  24014. Thank you for the video suggestion!
    1
  24015. Hi! Don’t worry. They’re pretty tough engines. Get an oil change to be on the safe side and you’re all good.
    1
  24016. Hi! Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if the new tires are causing the issue. It does happen unfortunately
    1
  24017. Hi! You can. The ones that came low it was slightly low and unless you live in extreme cold weather it won’t be an issue
    1
  24018. Ideally for low mileage cars which are usually driven for short distances I would get an oil change every 6 months and never wait for the miles to get there.
    1
  24019. Congratulations Anthony on your rav4 prime purchase! On the break in for those the manual lists similar suggestions as other models but I would try to drive it out of the EV range to complete the break in then go for EV range. Or at least that’s what I would do. There’s really no break in for the EV side of things. It’s just for the engine.
    1
  24020. Hi! First congratulations on your new highlander. You didn’t hurt the car and you have nothing to worry about. Keep up the maintenance and you’ll have this car for a long time
    1
  24021. Hi! Yes it should be good. Avoid very hard acceleration and congratulations on your new 4runner!
    1
  24022. Hi! Read your owners manual. If it says 0w20 is ok then it’s fine
    1
  24023. As Alta mentioned they will stick with a normal maintenance schedule for the car.
    1
  24024. Hi! That’s normal. Cars do move during transit
    1
  24025. I hear you. We have a couple of salesman that do this. Not a good idea.
    1
  24026. Hi! Yes change the filter on both times.
    1
  24027. Hi! If the price is right it shouldn’t be an issue. 600 miles is not a new car, it would be a used car
    1
  24028. 75-80 is ok. But you’ll notice then a lot more efficient around 55-65. Over 90 is when things start to drop off efficiency wise.
    1
  24029. Yes it is!
    1
  24030. Some manufacturers are doing that. Toyota is likely to do that in the future which makes sense.
    1
  24031. Hi! That is normal from the direct injection
    1
  24032. The transmission warms up pretty quick from the engine as well. You can give it extra time if possible.
    1
  24033. I hear you. Junior mechanics at dealerships always have a more senior technician watching over them and they usually do a good job. And very junior mechanics that are fresh out of tech school usually don’t work on cars alone.
    1
  24034. They likely will if it’s not on time or use up your upcoming oil change
    1
  24035. Hi! That is a Venza hybrid in the US market.
    1
  24036. The 4 cylinder engine in the Tacoma is literally bullet proof. The worst that I’ve seen with it is a 20 dollar valve cover gasket leak and a half an hour water pump leak. Otherwise noting really.
    1
  24037. Try to avoid very hard acceleration where the gauge goes all the way to max power.
    1
  24038. Unless you order one and get it with less than 5 miles. Cant do much harm in 5 miles
    1
  24039. Hi. Clutch pedal on a 2020 RAV4? Do you mean the brake or gas pedal?
    1
  24040. Hi! I wouldn’t use them honestly. The plastic housing will last the life of the car if it’s not over tightened. And the software updates will need to be done in the US unless you know someone in the dealership in Germany they might be able to get it done
    1
  24041. Hi! Speeds over 85 mph for long driver actually cause the hybrid system to be maxed out at all time and eventually run the battery low and turn the engine on all the time which would start to decrease the efficiency significantly
    1
  24042. It would have to be diagnosed first to know exactly what’s going on to know the cost.
    1
  24043. Congratulations! Like that color
    1
  24044. Hi! I’d have to see it to be sure but from your description that’s the transmission air vent. It vents any air pressure built inside the Transmission. If that vent gets clogged, air will find another out in the form of leaks through seals.
    1
  24045. See this video on new car deliveries especially on the tire pressure https://youtu.be/U3HeLrL0XYU
    1
  24046. Hi! Interesting. Was anything done other than what you mentioned? Did you get a chance to check the tire pressure before and after?
    1
  24047. Did it go below the minimum line on the reservoir or it’s between max and min?
    1
  24048. Hi! Just making sure that is 70,000 miles?
    1
  24049. Hi! Other than hand tools not much else. You’ll need a drain pan and a filter wrench
    1
  24050. Dealership or any qualified shop
    1
  24051. An oil change is recommended but not required
    1
  24052. Hi! My recommendation stands on 5k oil changes. Don’t debate this with the dealership. Simply ask for an oil change and pay for it. Basic maintenance on your rav4 prime doesn’t require specific training as it’s normal and similar to any other model.
    1
  24053. Hi! You’d have to be in the country where the car was originally bought and registered for warranty to be active
    1
  24054. Congratulations!
    1
  24055. And to put your mind at ease. At 1000 miles change the engine oil and filter and you’ll be good. Congratulations on your Tacoma purchase.
    1
  24056. Quality Synthetic is good. Toyota oil is better.
    1
  24057. Yeah the 10k oil change debate is big. Personally I would change the oil every 5k or 6 months
    1
  24058. Hi! Many places it could be. Either in the glovebox if they checked it or by the jack and tools
    1
  24059. I would. Take it easy the first 1000 miles
    1
  24060. If you’re going to do the break in oil change I would just do that and an oil filter change as well.
    1
  24061. Sorry to hear that.
    1
  24062. Look in the index for breaking in your Toyota
    1
  24063. Hi! Only engine oil.
    1
  24064. Hi’ you can take it anywhere I would make sure they use the right oil and an original filter
    1
  24065. Hi! Replacement parts are available but not everything. Replacing the engine with a bigger displacement is not possible
    1
  24066. Hi! Yes it would apply to primes as well
    1
  24067. Hi! Here’s a video for that model Camry which I think it’s one of the best models https://youtu.be/LmYqZeaY1QE
    1
  24068. Hi! Here’s a video I made on oil changes https://youtu.be/YvsyTNVzzXM
    1
  24069. It doesn’t have to be at the dealership. However if it’s out of the dealership I would make sure you get an original filter and good oil.
    1
  24070. Hi! They will not cover the 1000 mile oil change. They will cover an oil change at 10k miles and 20k miles
    1
  24071. Hi Adam! Thank you for watching my channel! I would use the parking brake if you’re parked on An incline or decline. Otherwise you’re good leaking it just in park.
    1
  24072. The bracket from the dealership. Or remove it and see if you can have a nut welded in then paint it and you’re all set. Best way or either cut it with a cut off wheel or try to drill the head of the bolt off
    1
  24073. Hi! So the bolt that you have now just spins and doesn’t tighten or it spins but doesn’t come out?
    1
  24074. During the break in period yes
    1
  24075. The demo car honestly is not a bad idea. Most people that drive the demo car are very careful and usually accompanied by a sales man. But usually you can get practically a new car for less with demo cars.
    1
  24076. Hi! 8k kms is good
    1
  24077. Hi! S mode does the same as B mode just gives you varied levels of it if you would
    1
  24078. Personally I would use Mobil 1 and change it every 5k or 6 months.
    1
  24079. Hi! They can’t determine if you need an oil change or not if they don’t ask about your driving conditions. Please refer to your maintenance guide and read the special operating conditions which if they apply to your driving then it’s required to do oil changes every 5k miles or 6 months
    1
  24080. Hi! Transmission every 60k or 6 years. Diffs and transfer case every 30k
    1
  24081. Hi! Yes that works.
    1
  24082. Hi! Do you have any codes in the hybrid system?
    1
  24083. Yes you can
    1
  24084. Hi! They dont
    1
  24085. It’s not going to explode. But you’d want to minimize doing that as much as possible
    1
  24086. Hi! After the break in period you’re good to drive the car freely as needed. So 65mph for 5 hours is ok.
    1
  24087. Thank you for your comment. Read your owners manual on your new Toyota.
    1
  24088. Hi! Take it easy on the drive and consider a break in oil change and everything will be good.
    1
  24089. Hi! It’s all good in this case I would recommend a break in oil change
    1
  24090. Hi! I have a video coming up soon to review an obd2 tool that might be helpful
    1
  24091. Hi! Personally I would but it’s not a must. Especially if you’ve followed the break in period instructions.
    1
  24092. Hybrids will have the same recommendations for break in as non hybrids. Toyota care will only pay for 2 oil changes every 10k miles. Open your maintenance guide and read the first service. At the bottom it will list the special operating conditions. Check the conditions out and see if they apply to your driving. Doubt the dealership will go for it but if you plan to keep your car a long time it’s worth starting with the 5k 6 month routine from early on and you won’t have any issues.
    1
  24093. Hi! The break in oil change is a recommendation not a requirement. I wouldn’t worry too much about that if buying used but look for a complete service history to know how this car was taken care of overall
    1
  24094. Hi! You can shift between D and B without doing anything specific just shift as needed
    1
  24095. Yes it is.
    1
  24096. Hi! This depends on the model which model do you have?
    1
  24097. Hi! A pre purchase inspection on a used car you find is a good idea.
    1
  24098. On the free maintenance plan you can’t have oil changes paid by the plan every 6 months
    1
  24099. Hi! Check the tire pressure. If it’s good take it to the dealership and have them take a look
    1
  24100. That’s ok of course.
    1
  24101. Hi! I would scan through your driving style and compare it to special operating conditions. If it applies to you I would pay for the 5k 6 month oil changes as fighting with the dealership won’t get any results.
    1
  24102. Hi! It’s not an issue. Gas mixes up and is always refreshed in the reserve
    1
  24103. Hi! First congratulations on your tundra purchase. You didn’t damage anything. You Didn’t drive too fast and you varied your speed. Enjoy your new truck and keep up the maintenance.
    1
  24104. Interesting could you record or have a recording of the noise?
    1
  24105. Hi! How many miles and how cold is the weather in your area?
    1
  24106. Now why would it void your warranty? I don’t see how a warranty would be voided for taking care of your car?? Did he give you an explanation?
    1
  24107. True. For reasons I can’t really get into they went for the 10k oil changes and then put many conditions that would revert the cars back to 5k oil changes
    1
  24108. Hi! The service advisor is wrong in saying that if they didn’t ask you how’s your driving conditions. If your driving falls into the special operating conditions or the severe maintenance schedule then you should change your engine oil every 5k or 6 months
    1
  24109. They do on models that require it
    1
  24110. Hi! Yes oil and oil filter
    1
  24111. If you live in Chicago I can
    1
  24112. Thank you for watching my video bob! Small note on your rav4 tire light. Trending weird thing I’m seeing with this generation rav4 is tire lights staying on, all pressures are good, all sensors are reading but the light is still on. Check for codes no codes but if I just use the scan tool to erase codes from the Tpms ecu the light turns off and life is good. Still trying to make sense of the issue.
    1
  24113. They are the same. This advise applies to hybrids as well.
    1
  24114. Hi! The check engine light could be caused by many factors other than the overfilled oil. Erase the code first and see if it comes back and go from there
    1
  24115. The ones with smart key has the button.
    1
  24116. Thank you for watching my channel! Unfortunately the GR Yaris is not available in the US.
    1
  24117. Hi! No worries on coolant and transmission. Just the engine oil.
    1
  24118. Hi! Not very familiar with that tool but likely it won’t work for Toyota.
    1
  24119. Hi! I would consider a break in oil change
    1
  24120. Hi! You should be ok. Just take it easy and avoid hard accelerations and consider a break in oil change at 1000 miles
    1
  24121. You can go outside but that’s when it becomes a problem. If the dealership installs it they are liable for it.
    1
  24122. Hi! Did you inquire at the dealership if they have a contractor that installs them?
    1
  24123. Hi! It’s rated for 87
    1
  24124. Ok I see. Some times the lifters drained back on these engines and usually all you had to do was warm it up and rev it steady at 2000-2500 rpm for a few minutes and they would pump up and stay that way. Try that. If not then hows the maintenance history on the truck?
    1
  24125. That is typically correct. Toyota’s typically are cured well from the factory but I would give it a few months before waxing and polishing
    1
  24126. Hi! Yes that’s normal and will fade after a few days
    1
  24127. Hi! I would use an original filter and use good quality oil. If you don’t have experience with a specific oil brand then I would stick with Toyota bottled oil
    1
  24128. Congratulations!
    1
  24129. Hi! The Toyota care program changes the oil every 10k miles
    1
  24130. I would replace it regardless if it’s a hybrid or not.
    1
  24131. 😂 basically
    1
  24132. Hi! I would do a break in oil change at 1000 miles
    1
  24133. Hi! Tow in drive if towing on a flat surface.
    1
  24134. Many people don’t. just continue to maintain and take care of the car.
    1
  24135. In a nutshell yes that is correct
    1
  24136. Hi! In 2022 most of the issues are resolved and everything is good. If you like the truck it’s a reliable one
    1
  24137. Hi! It’s not included. The first service is a tire rotation. 2nd service is oil change and tire rotation. 3rd service is tire rotation and brake inspection. 4th service is oil change and tire rotation 5th service is tire rotation only.
    1
  24138. Hi! They’re just used to the old tire pressure of older models. Ask them to set it at 35 when you take it in
    1
  24139. Hi! The longer mileage from new the better. Typically the owners manual will list 500 miles. However if you take it easy on your trip and to add peace of mind consider a break in oil change around 1000 miles and you should have no issues. Enjoy your trip and drive safe
    1
  24140. That’s not the case with toyota engines and they’re not redlined at the factory. They’re actually hardly run at the factory…
    1
  24141. Honestly John I’ve given up on that a long time ago. People including myself are too busy to dedicate time to read the owners manual so hope these videos will bring their attention to the important things in that book.
    1
  24142. Seen many cases like this. It’s sad
    1
  24143. Hi! No idea why honda would do that. Only thing I can think off is testing? Doesn’t make sense but I’m sure they have a good reason for it.
    1
  24144. Hi! They won’t. The first oil change In the Toyota program is at 10k miles
    1
  24145. Hi! Thank you for watching my channel! There’s no harm using cruise control at all even for extended periods of time.
    1
  24146. Hi! The recall on the pistons is a very limited number of engines that had the issue. You wouldn’t have made it to this mileage if your car was affected by that recall
    1
  24147. Hi! You can do it yourself or have your trusted mechanic do. Do use an original filter
    1
  24148. Hi! Could you elaborate further on what needs correcting?
    1
  24149. Hi! If you pay for the oil changes they shouldn’t have a problem doing it
    1
  24150. Hi! They are not.
    1
  24151. Hi! That’s a 2021 Toyota Venza
    1
  24152. Hi! Just ask them for the service early.
    1
  24153. Hi! Yes you’re past the break in period. Have a safe trip and sorry for your loss.
    1
  24154. They do not unfortunately
    1
  24155. I see. So was the plug in the fill hole itself or next to it? I don’t recall a plug around it.
    1
  24156. It should be full synthetic
    1
  24157. Hi! I would use a scan tool to program the fob if it doesn’t work then it’s likely defective and a new one is needed
    1
  24158. Hi! You’re ok no worries. Congratulations on your Camry purchase
    1
  24159. Yes I would.
    1
  24160. Hi! That’s ok. A break in oil change is recommended in this case
    1
  24161. Hi! Try as best as possible to take it easy. It’s easier with your RAV4 prime as they don’t tend to hold an exact rpm all the time like a traditional transmission. Try to keep your speeds to the speed limits and consider a 1k break in oil change
    1
  24162. Hi Allen. I would change it every 5k or 6 months regardless and especially on a prime. The Toyota care program won’t pay for the oil changes at 5k so if you choose to go this route you’ll have to pay for them.
    1
  24163. Hi! Ethanol free will always be better
    1
  24164. Hi! Thank you for watching! Yes this video applies to Lexus as well
    1
  24165. They are both good. Reliability the 4Runner will be better
    1
  24166. Hi! Just take it easy on the drive and avoid hard acceleration
    1
  24167. It does have a speed limit usually around 80 mph but anything below it doesn’t matter.
    1
  24168. Hi! So plug in hybrids will have an electric range after you charge them at home. For example the Prius prime which is a plug in hybrid will give you up to 25 miles of electric only range after that the engine will come on and it turns into a regular hybrid
    1
  24169. Hi! Yes here’s the video link https://youtu.be/YvsyTNVzzXM
    1
  24170. A magnet usually will not pick debris from a new engine. A timely oil change and filter change will take care of that
    1
  24171. Hi! I don’t really have experience with newer honda’s to speak of.
    1
  24172. Hi! That’s totally up to you. If you make short trips repeatedly you’d need to change it every 5k or 6 months per the recommendation from Toyota.
    1
  24173. Hi! I’ll need to hear the sound to know. Have your dealership listen to it to verify
    1
  24174. It does break over time because it’s the nature of gasoline engines to leak a small amount of fuel into the oil when they’re cold. That is normal for gasoline engines that’s why there’s a time interval as well.
    1
  24175. I would actually recommend oil changes every 6 months on primes. The engine runs less and at times doesn’t get the use a normal car would and that essentially is short trips if you take it into prospective.
    1
  24176. Hi! Try your best to keep speeds low and avoid hard acceleration if and when possible
    1
  24177. Hi! The transmission fluid doesn’t need replacement like the engine oil. Staying with 60k or 6 years is a good interval
    1
  24178. Hi! I would consider a break in oil change at 1000 miles
    1
  24179. Just take it easy and avoid hard acceleration
    1
  24180. Hi! Honestly I don’t really like the KN filter. They don’t do much but sound cool that you can clean and reuse and look high quality. That is all good until you have to clean one which is a mess.
    1
  24181. They’re going by the normal maintenance schedule. I would look at your owners manual maintenance guide. Do the conditions that are marked special operating conditions apply to your driving? If it does then an oil change every 5k or 6 months is required.
    1
  24182. Hi! On hybrids you can check the level by removing the fill plug with the car off and the fluid should be at the level of the fill plug
    1
  24183. Hi! I would pass the break in period then put different wheels
    1
  24184. Hi! You can but take it easy on the drive
    1
  24185. And those metal flakes are normal for a new engine but I’d feel more comfortable getting them out as soon as break in is done.
    1
  24186. Congratulations on your purchase!
    1
  24187. It’s not just take it easy on the trip and consider a break in oil change
    1
  24188. I would get it changed very soon.
    1
  24189. Hi! The cam tower leaks should be checked for leaking and if they are in would walk from the truck. Buy one that’s not leaking. Also the frame needs to be checked it shouldn’t be too rusty. And as soon as you buy it I would undercoat the frame and repeat every year or two and it will never have issues. Otherwise this is a solid truck if you buy one that’s in good shape
    1
  24190. Yes. First replacement at 1000 then 5000 then every 5000 after rhat
    1
  24191. Does it have an engine requiring 0w16?
    1
  24192. Interesting. Have you checked the hybrid battery fan?
    1
  24193. Which Michelin tires do you have?
    1
  24194. Hi! I don’t
    1
  24195. I don’t really have experience with that product honestly. With good maintenance and using the correct and good oil you shouldn’t need any additives
    1
  24196. Hi! It shouldn’t be an issue as long as it’s done well
    1
  24197. I’m sorry to hear this. If it was up to me I would shut down dealerships that play games like this. I want to see how that salesman feel if he was the one shelling a small fortune to buy a car that has a dent. I’m truly sorry about this situation. I feel your pain.
    1
  24198. It’s not ideal but if you have to I would vary the speed and avoid high speeds
    1
  24199. Hi! Transmissions and differentials don’t have the right tolerances that an engine has
    1
  24200. Hi! The ticking noise from the 4Runner engines is normal. The brand new ones from the factory make it and the one with 300k miles will also make it. Comparing a new 4Runner to an old one with different engine isn’t comparing apples for apples. I agree that the 4Runner engine is loud but it’s normal and in my opinion a better engine with a lot less maintenance and issues than the old v6 in the old 4Runner that it was compared to.
    1
  24201. Doing the oil change yourself will not void warranties as long as you do it right.
    1
  24202. Hi! Try to keep it below 70 and avoid hard acceleration
    1
  24203. Hi! If this is not a hybrid model then 75w90 GL5 is good
    1
  24204. Hi! Which year?
    1
  24205. Hi! No harm in not turning off the headlights first. I would leave them on auto if equipped
    1
  24206. I would remove the caliper without disconnecting the hydraulic hose and mask everything and then paint it.
    1
  24207. If the price of the warranty is right I would.
    1
  24208. Depends which one you’re referring to. It needs to be a bolt that’s 8x1.25
    1
  24209. Thank you Tom! I saw those fake Parts. I’ll likely make a video one day to compare and see. Always shop online for original parts from a reliable source. Sometimes they’re the same price as aftermarket
    1
  24210. Hi! Yes I meant don’t open the bleeders. One of these days I’ll make a video specific for hybrid brake bleeding
    1
  24211. Yes the same just don’t open the hydraulic circuit
    1
  24212. Hello Michael! Happy to help! Thank you for watching my videos!
    1
  24213. Hi! You don’t need to open the bleeder to do this on your 4Runner. Just compress the caliper pistons. Use the tool I showed in this video as it works really good for your 4Runner
    1
  24214. Dennis C thank you Dennis! God bless you!
    1
  24215. That’s good. Usually these are good cars. What’s makes them a complete dud is rust and hv battery maintenance neglect.
    1
  24216. Project time!! Awesome! I hope it’s good too. Run and drive or unknown?
    1
  24217. Hi! I wouldn’t open the bleeders when you’re just replacing brakes. Brake fluid need to be tested for moisture content. But generally every 3 years
    1
  24218. Hi! This will work for your Prius v
    1
  24219. Hi! Chicago area.
    1
  24220. Hi Jeff. The back brakes should self adjust if installed properly. Also any axle seal leaks in the rear?
    1
  24221. Hi! Are either of them sport model?
    1
  24222. Hi! I am not aware of an Android auto update for Toyota radios. Only apple car play
    1
  24223. Hi! I would investigate if the pad was seized or a pin is seized.
    1
  24224. Hi! Your model doesn’t have the clip in the front.
    1
  24225. Hi! New Toyota brake rotors come clean and you don’t need to clean them
    1
  24226. Hi! You’ll need to pull the axle out and the seal will be on the housing. Not a very difficult job.
    1
  24227. I would have it tested. If it has high moisture content replace it if not then you’re good
    1
  24228. Yes you can without issues.
    1
  24229. Hi! I would turn aftermarket rotors unless you are sure they are good quality.
    1
  24230. That ones on me! You’re right! Sorry about that. Thank you for watching
    1
  24231. Hi! From your vin number. If it starts with J it’s Japanese if not then it’s not
    1
  24232. They’re good. Some of their pads produce low dust which is nice
    1
  24233. No need to open the hydraulic circuit just to push the piston in.
    1
  24234. Hi! There shouldn’t be an issue pushing the fluid back as that’s the official procedure. I wouldn’t open the bleeder when doing a brake job.
    1
  24235. Glad I could help! Thank you for watching!
    1
  24236. Hi! The filter needs to be removed. Just pull it out it’s not locked
    1
  24237. Hi! Go to parts.Toyota.com enter your vin number and search for brake pads. If the number has AZ in it then they are economy pads if not then they are oem
    1
  24238. Thank you for watching my videos!
    1
  24239. The brake fluid doesn’t really circulate like oil and coolant. Bleeding it would require a scan tool. However replacing the fluid can be done with a vacuum bleeder or a pressure bleeder safely.
    1
  24240. Hi! Honestly the fluid in the lines is what needs changing. What kind of Toyota do you have?
    1
  24241. No transmissions issues that I know of or have seen. Early ones like 2013-2015 had some different issues with transmissions but nothing that was not covered under warranty or a special policy from Toyota.
    1
  24242. Hi Andrew! Glad I could help! At that mileage not much should wrong with the car make sure it hasn’t been in accidents and that it was still maintained even with low mileage. Here’s a buying guide video for that year rav4 that’ll help https://youtu.be/KIAq0M3BUWQ although at that mileage most common issues might not even be there but you can take a look anyway. Best of luck with your purchase! Let me know how it goes.
    1
  24243. In the Chicago area yes
    1
  24244. Actually the 1.25 is the thread pitch.
    1
  24245. Hi! Not familiar with any brake upgrades for the highlander honestly.
    1
  24246. Although things happen but that’s not something you want to happen on a new car! I would have them clean up the mess at least
    1
  24247. Use a code reader to read the codes and erase them. They will eventually clear but will take some time
    1
  24248. The compressor is different in the prime cars
    1
  24249. You can turn off the AC completely if you don’t need it
    1
  24250. That would be a good question for Toyota. The same question was asked and they just repeated the same thing. Basically an evac and recharge every 80k miles.
    1
  24251. The Prius prime with a similarly complicated system is now out of warranty and still going without issues.
    1
  24252. Hi! This would need in person diagnosis but it could be one of the motors that move the doors for the hvac air routing
    1
  24253. Hi! Hybrids have regular hvac system and doesn’t have heat pump. Because the engine comes on and off it’s able to maintain the coolant temp high enough to use it for heat
    1
  24254. Hi! I am not an expert on money advise but this is the advise I hear. If your ultimate plan is to keep the car long, buying it is wise. If you plan to turn in the lease and get a new car every 3 years so you won’t have to deal with any repairs ever and budget everything around a 400-500 monthly payment then lease. You can lease then buy the lease to lower your payments but in the end when all is said and done you actually paid more for the car and you’ll have payments for up to 9 years ( 3 years lease + up to 6 year financed)
    1
  24255. Hi! They exit underneath the car. It’s a place that’s not easily accessible as it’s covered by many components and not common to clog or have issues
    1
  24256. Some of these parts are pretty expensive yes
    1
  24257. Hi! You can ask them to check it or you can check it yourself it’s very easy to do so
    1
  24258. Around 14k miles
    1
  24259. Hi! I have another video on beak in information https://youtu.be/nBBUQJKTaiM
    1
  24260. You could but a vacuum works better
    1
  24261. Hi! This was a video on cleaning the fan
    1
  24262. Depends on your use. If it gets very dirty replace it otherwise clean iy
    1
  24263. Hi! Vacuum works well. Don’t use water
    1
  24264. Some of those didn’t have filters
    1
  24265. Hi! I wouldn’t modify or change the filter as it’s designed to provide sufficient flow
    1
  24266. Hi! In hot weather use the AC and keep the fan filter clean if equipped. In cold weather avoid leaving the car outside for a very long time like a month or more without driving at all
    1
  24267. Hi! The battery will cope. As soon as you start the car and fans will cool them down. Also they are not exposed so they are in a shade
    1
  24268. Nickel metal hydride.
    1
  24269. Hi! It’s nit a waste of money if you live in the rust belt and keep cars past 10 years
    1
  24270. Hi! No. Here’s a video for the Prius prime https://youtu.be/ddBEW93Pthk
    1
  24271. Hi! Shopvac or gently with compressed air. I would replace it when it starts looking old or if it gets very dirty. I wouldn’t tie it with the cabin filter, replace or clean when it gets dirty
    1
  24272. Hi! It can put unneeded stress on the cooling system. I would trim it so it won’t cover it
    1
  24273. Hi! I’ve seen a few cases where the speaker cover makes a rattle. Very easily resolved. Contact your dealership
    1
  24274. I would buy them at the dealership or from parts.Toyota.com
    1
  24275. Hi! I would have to look into it for that. Good question
    1
  24276. Hi! It should have a filter underneath the back seat
    1
  24277. Hi! Hmm I don’t see how this could be a compressor. I would have the pressures checked. One thing that was somewhat common in these is the pressure switch
    1
  24278. Hi! They are very well engineered with minimal problems for how complex they are.
    1
  24279. Hi! The engine in the corolla is doing very well so far. It’s very similar to the 2.5
    1
  24280. Hi! Numbers change all the time and when you look up an updated number on parts.Toyota.com it automatically pulls the most updated number. Not common for the sensor to get loose. Was the car hit
    1
  24281. Honestly if you work at a dealership I would double check the battery. Remove the front seats and the center console and lift the carpet and be on the safe side
    1
  24282. Hi! The compressor has a protection in place. If the Freon pressure is low the compressor won’t come on. But theoretically if you run it with Freon you can damage it.
    1
  24283. Hi Brian! I can and will do when I finally get a chance to take the hybrid transmission sitting in my garage apart to have a good demo to use
    1
  24284. Hi! Underneath the back seat between the seat bottom and the floor
    1
  24285. Hi! 90915-YZZN1
    1
  24286. Hoping to get one soon
    1
  24287. It is rough of course for what it is
    1
  24288. Hi! I would just drive it and take it easy on the drive and you should be good
    1
  24289. Hi! Honestly we don’t have the diesel model here so i don’t have have much experience with it to share
    1
  24290. Have you called TAS on one yet? That’s when it gets really interesting…
    1
  24291. Hi! The LC500 might fit the bill for you. Review coming up in the next month or so
    1
  24292. I second this. One of my all time favorite cars ever.
    1
  24293. So far no but it’s possible since it’s direct only
    1
  24294. It’s a long reason why they decided to list it as lifetime fluid. It basically gets you past the warranty then you’re on your own. Dealerships have issues with them because they don’t follow procedure so they decide not to do them
    1
  24295. Hi! I would change the fluid every 60k miles or 6 years whichever comes first
    1
  24296. Hard to tell without diagnosis but is the rack centered? Meaning is the length of the inner and outer tie rod equal on both sides?
    1
  24297. Hi! That’s a security thing dealers used to sell.
    1
  24298. It remained the same throughout that generation LS. Completely changed in 2007
    1
  24299. Xtool D7 is what I am aware of. Sure there are ones cheaper that can do that
    1
  24300. You can jump start your Venza from the points I showed in the video just don’t give a jump start to another car from your venza
    1
  24301. Hi! If you use your hybrid to jump start another non hybrid car
    1
  24302. Thank you for watching! 1- LED lights are good but if you’re upgrading I would look into HIDs 2-upgrading the wheels could affect your gas mileage a little bit also the ride will change and your odometer might be off. Other than that you’re good. 3-relocating the battery is not possible. The battery location is strategically placed because the crash protection of the car is designed around the location of the battery.
    1
  24303. Hi! Underneath the back seat
    1
  24304. Hi! Which model do you have?
    1
  24305. It doesn’t need much. Any source of 12-13volts DC would do.
    1
  24306. Hi! Yes it’s possible to install a dash cam on your Prius prime
    1
  24307. This is a universal issue with all cars with this system. Unless you know exactly where the sensor is and pass your foot in front of it, it will be hard
    1
  24308. Hi Joseph! No its not personal car. It’s a demo used for the video.
    1
  24309. Hi! Underneath the back seat
    1
  24310. There was a small issue with the spring that pops the door open but it was very limited and usually straightening the clip works.
    1
  24311. Hi! Does the fuel door not open at the moment when you press the button? This is an excellent video showing exactly what would happen if you exceed the 30 minute time window to refuel.
    1
  24312. Hi! Underneath the back for the hybrid battery. In the back area for the 12v battery
    1
  24313. Hi! You can use the jumper you have at the jump terminals. And don’t worry about the battery replacement. It’s the same as with any other car.
    1
  24314. Hi! Underneath the back seat
    1
  24315. Thank you for watching! Because the battery is inside the car you’d need a sealed battery with a vent. It doesn’t have to be original. But has to be designed for a car with the battery inside the cabin.
    1
  24316. The battery immediately disengages when it picks up voltage escape
    1
  24317. Hi! If it’s a good dealership you’re good. They will replace more of the fluid and follow it up with a fluid level check.
    1
  24318. Ok I see. Is this a hybrid model?
    1
  24319. Hi! All the time or only when cold?
    1
  24320. Hi! That is correct. You can jump start your Prius from any other car or from a jump pack.
    1
  24321. Honestly in all my career with Toyota I’ve replaced maybe one or two buttons and both were physically damaged. Don’t know how I feel about this one. I suppose you could try it. Really hard to tell without checking the car in person
    1
  24322. You are sure that the battery in key that you replaced is a good one?
    1
  24323. Ok could you describe the problem again in more detail. Does it crank or nothing happens when you press the button?
    1
  24324. You’d need a machine to load test the battery to be sure.
    1
  24325. The battery would need to be load tested
    1
  24326. Check the car battery and key fob battery to start
    1
  24327. Ok. When you say the fob works. It works when you approach the car and touch the handle or when you press the buttons on the smart key
    1
  24328. What year and model Toyota do you have?
    1
  24329. Hi! I wouldn’t use it in this fashion. Your brakes on your hybrid will easily last 100k miles without using B mode. Brakes cost a lot less than other components that you are stressing when you use B mode daily.
    1
  24330. Hi! Underneath the back seat
    1
  24331. Hi! Did the ready on light come on?
    1
  24332. It’s possible that’s the battery in the key is the issue. Try touching the key to the start button then press the button while the key is near it and see if it starts
    1
  24333. If it’s heavy enough rain it would damage any car especially a hybrid
    1
  24334. Hi! Underneath the back seat.
    1
  24335. Trending at the moment with no concrete information
    1
  24336. So it’s directly underneath the 2nd row seat
    1
  24337. Hi! It’s underneath the back seat
    1
  24338. Happy new year and thank you for watching!
    1
  24339. Hi! You can jump start your hybrid from another car. Just don’t jump start other cars from your hybrid. A portable jumper is safe for hybrids
    1
  24340. Hi! Use the least amount of water and try to avoid electrical connectors
    1
  24341. Hi! I hope no one was hurt. It’s tough to guess without seeing the car. Since it’s a new car they might fix it as it has very high equity
    1
  24342. Anything is possible but the cost involved wouldn’t justify it.
    1
  24343. It does but then it uses more energy to spin mg1 to spin the engine without turning it on to use it as dead weight to slow the car. B mode being a power generation mode is a very big misconception.
    1
  24344. Thank you for your comment. So what happens in your Toyota hybrid when you use B mode?
    1
  24345. Thank you for watching! Yes it does apply to your Lexus RX hybrid
    1
  24346. Hi! Underneath the back seat
    1
  24347. You can but I wouldn’t hard wire it in. If you find one that goes into the cigarette lighter and doesn’t blow the fuse then you’re within the limits of what’s good.
    1
  24348. Hi! I am no expert in that field but a viewer who was and owns a hybrid mentioned that it’s not an issue.
    1
  24349. Love the 55 Chevy!
    1
  24350. If it’s equipped yes
    1
  24351. Hi! Backward jump starting is when you put the positive of the jumper cable on the negative on the car and the negative from the jumper cable in the positive terminal on the car.
    1
  24352. Hi! For the engine oil hot. Shut off the engine and wait one minute then check it
    1
  24353. Hi! If you’re consistently using it then yes. But if it will sit for months and months at a time regularly then likely not the best choice.
    1
  24354. You can. While in park press the gas pedal to the floor and it will rev up not freely like a gasoline only car but it the engine will come on and raise in rpm
    1
  24355. Hi! Yes it’s highly advisable to use AC on hot climate with hybrids
    1
  24356. Hi! You’ll need to get the codes scanned
    1
  24357. Hi! Hot days do affect the battery however if your filter is clean and you’re using AC you will significantly minimize that negative effect
    1
  24358. Hi! Underneath the back seat
    1
  24359. Hi! Underneath the back seat
    1
  24360. Thank you for watching. Here’s a video with more info on storage https://youtu.be/vuXP52PloDQ
    1
  24361. Underneath the front seat
    1
  24362. They’re charged either by the engine turning a motor that generates or the force of the road when the car is moving turns a motor that generates. Refer to my series on how hybrids work for a review on the system find it here https://youtu.be/SX5Klme59eY
    1
  24363. Hi! If the weather is very cold I would give them a couple minutes before setting off
    1
  24364. Hi! Here’s the video I made on hybrid driving modes https://youtu.be/r4iuj-bIRRU
    1
  24365. Yes you can jump start your hybrid from another car
    1
  24366. That is correct some 14s didn’t but you can add one to it original.
    1
  24367. Hi! Yes you can.
    1
  24368. Yes it is under the back seat! Happy new year!
    1
  24369. They are both very similar in maintenance costs. The corolla is a bit bigger than the yaris
    1
  24370. Hi! The battery is underneath the front seat
    1
  24371. Hi! Underneath the back seat
    1
  24372. Hi! The car in the video is a 2021 Venza hybrid
    1
  24373. Hi! Here’s a video detailing everything on your Camry hybrid fan and filter https://youtu.be/0vwgmIsAefY
    1
  24374. Hi! Do you mean the Sienna hybrid?
    1
  24375. Hi! They are rated for 87 you can use either 3
    1
  24376. Hi! Underneath the back seat
    1
  24377. Underneath the front seat
    1
  24378. Hi! Underneath the back seat
    1
  24379. There’s only one motor in the back named MGR
    1
  24380. Hi! The RAV4 prime uses one of the electric motors inside the transmission to start the engine. Also you can charge your 12v battery but I would go directly at the battery which is in the back of the car
    1
  24381. Hi! The hybrid battery is underneath the front seats. The 12v battery is all the way in the back hidden behind a panel on the passenger side.
    1
  24382. Happy new year!
    1
  24383. Hi! You’ll need to get codes to know what’s going oj
    1
  24384. For apple car play?
    1
  24385. Underneath the back seat
    1
  24386. I would look for a 12-17 Camry. Make sure it’s in good shape with hood history.
    1
  24387. It could help yes
    1
  24388. The plug in will be more expensive. That’s really up to you.
    1
  24389. Hi! Underneath the back seat
    1
  24390. Yes it’s ok
    1
  24391. Hi! That is normal. Hybrids can’t charge when they’re in neutral but for a short amount of time in a car wash that’s ol
    1
  24392. Hi! On hybrids you don’t need to worry about the transmission temperatures since there are no clutch engagements
    1
  24393. Hi! Thank you for watching my video! So in Australia things should be very similar emission laws wise. The motor that turns the engine only starts the engine and charges the battery as needed. Here’s a full series I did on how the hybrid system works which might be useful. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeFzfl0Q8rQUgJLQheNbttBtKT6iSOX4D
    1
  24394. They both should operate in a similar fashion. The 2019 does b mode better actually.
    1
  24395. Sorry thought you meant a regular hybrid. It’s in the back
    1
  24396. Hi! Underneath the back seat
    1
  24397. Hi! For safety. The hybrid battery is essentially disconnected and disabled when the car is off
    1
  24398. Hi! Underneath the front seats
    1
  24399. On some models it was not needed to have it.
    1
  24400. Underneath the back seat area.
    1
  24401. Hi! Yes you can
    1
  24402. Hi! Start the car when it’s cold for 1 minute making sure that the gasoline engine comes on then check it again
    1
  24403. Hi! It uses one of the electric motors to start the engine
    1
  24404. That shouldn’t be an issue.
    1
  24405. Hi! If it’s just plugged into the cigarette lighter no it won’t affect your warranty. If it’s hard wired in as long as it’s done right it won’t affect it either
    1
  24406. If done right shouldn’t hurt it
    1
  24407. Hi! It’s not very strong as some other models. After having the fan on for some time you should Feel the seat cooler to the touch but not super cold as it only sends air through
    1
  24408. Hi! Thank you for watching my video. No harm in using EV mode when possible and eco mode. Enjoy your cars impressive fuel mileage 😀
    1
  24409. Hi! That’s unfortunately not possible and not very safe for the cars electrical system. The cigarette lighter is a fused connection and not a direct connection through the main fuse of the cae
    1
  24410. Hi! B mode doesn’t generate power. All the power it generates it used up.
    1
  24411. Hi! I have some videos out for different models. More coming. Find it here https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeFzfl0Q8rQVmGC047YDDOTFEKGhoZ19K
    1
  24412. Hi! It’s underneath the back seat
    1
  24413. Hi! I couldn’t access the link
    1
  24414. Possibly not. Different countries have different emissions regulations and could have different systems.
    1
  24415. It’s a 2021 Toyota Venza hybrid. Not sure if it’s available in your area.
    1
  24416. Hi! Honestly I wouldn’t worry as you still have a fix a flat kit that works unless the tire is cut or otherwise completely damaged. Alternatives would be to buy a spare tire with a cover and put it in the trunk
    1
  24417. I haven’t tried that scenario but theoretically it would. I wouldn’t push it that far I would just push the button and fill if you’re close to the time.
    1
  24418. Hi! You’re good to have to there it’s not blocking anything. Is this a space savor or a full size spare
    1
  24419. Hi! Underneath the back eeat
    1
  24420. That would be nice! No official word on that yet
    1
  24421. Hi! If it’s been taken care of it shouldn’t be an issue
    1
  24422. Hi! The red terminal is fused. That point connects to a major electrical junction that basically supplies the whole car. It is fused according to the load that it has normally. If you draw from it you might open the fuse which is not a simple pull fuse it’s bolted down
    1
  24423. I would disconnect the 12 v battery
    1
  24424. Hi’ I would have to hear the noise to know if it’s normal or not
    1
  24425. It’s underneath the back seat
    1
  24426. Hi! Which model?
    1
  24427. I would give any car a minute or two before driving when started cold
    1
  24428. That could be helpful but make sure it’s a legitimate website not a scam. Carfax in the us works I don’t know if it’s the same in England.
    1
  24429. The battery is similar even in different markets. I don’t think you will have an issue with the high voltage battery any time soon. Your car is too new.
    1
  24430. Sure. Either here or email. Whichever works for uou
    1
  24431. Hi! Is this a hybrid or non hybrid model?
    1
  24432. Hi! Underneath the 2nd row seat
    1
  24433. Hi! I personally would change it every 5k
    1
  24434. Hi! Are you powering that fridge from the power outlet in the car?
    1
  24435. Hi! I don’t know much about the Kia and Hyundai side but a 2015 and up Prius is good. Corolla hybrids are also very good.
    1
  24436. Hi! Underneath the back seat
    1
  24437. Yes that’s a 2021 venza
    1
  24438. Hi! If you drive your car daily normally and not store it for long times you should be ok. They typically last around 5 years and then they need replacement less in hotter climate
    1
  24439. Hi! The 12v battery is very small and doesn’t take much to go low. Not the hybrid battery though!
    1
  24440. Hi! You can jump start it from another car. It doesn’t have a battery condition indicator for the 12v battery. And jump it at the jump points under the hood
    1
  24441. Have the dealership check for updates. Might be an update that will resolve this issue
    1
  24442. Hi! Which model do you have?
    1
  24443. Congratulations!
    1
  24444. Hi! They should fit potentially laying down. If a 5 gallon bottle spill all its contents that would be an issue for the battery. A liner might help but it’s best to avoid spilling water if possible.
    1
  24445. Hi! Which cover are you referring to?
    1
  24446. Ok. Honestly I don’t have much experience installing aftermarket remote starts as they can be a bit complicated for the newer models. I would find a trusted installer that has experience with hybrids to install one
    1
  24447. Under the front seat
    1
  24448. You can drive it at higher Rpms when needed
    1
  24449. Hi and happy new year! Yes it applies to all Toyota models.
    1
  24450. Hi! Thank you for watching my videos! I am not very familiar with your model hybrid as its not sold where I live. But it’s either going to be underneath the back seat or behind the back seat. Not too much information on your auris hybrid because it’s not sold worldwide.
    1
  24451. Yes in most cases especially with the fueling. Some older models were different
    1
  24452. Hi! Underneath the back seat
    1
  24453. No. The battery is well covered for contact as you saw in the video. I would let my children sit in the back of this car with the battery in the back.
    1
  24454. If the battery is totally dead and dry it’s open circuit and likely the same as having no battery.
    1
  24455. Hi! Underneath the back seat
    1
  24456. The computer won’t allow overcharging. No worries.
    1
  24457. Hi! Just the basic maintenance of the car and the most important one which is hybrid battery fan filter
    1
  24458. That could be ok as long as it’s not a very large battery and not completely dead
    1
  24459. Hi! Underneath the front seats.
    1
  24460. Hi! Underneath the front seats
    1
  24461. That’s too new. Usually around 5 years is when I’d consider replacing the original tires
    1
  24462. Hi! They don’t expire they just get old. How old are the tires on your car?
    1
  24463. Happy new year!
    1
  24464. Hi! Congratulations! Underneath the back seat yes.
    1
  24465. Hi! It’s located underneath the back seat
    1
  24466. I’ll look into it
    1
  24467. Hi! Likely the spring that opens the door needs adjustment. Just spread it more apart to give it more tension so it would have enough force to open the fuel door.
    1
  24468. Thank you for this information and please do submit the information to Toyota. Just because I haven’t seen it doesn’t mean it’s not there. But the more you report it the more toyota will look into it and find solutions.
    1
  24469. I’ve never heard of the fresh air door issues nor seen it. Also the fuel tank issue with the RAV4 hybrid is that you fill the tank to full and the gauge only shows 7/8 full. Does the highlander do the same? I haven’t seen any cases yet.
    1
  24470. What are you trying to achieve with auxiliary heating? Sorry to ask this way I just wanted to understand
    1
  24471. Hi! The battery on the sienna is underneath the front seats so there’s nothing in the back.
    1
  24472. Hi! That model is not sold in my area so I’m not very familiar with it
    1
  24473. So the battery is broken down to blocks each block contains a few cells. The computer watches the voltages but cannot charge a single block individually as they are all connected in series.
    1
  24474. Hi! Because the high voltage battery gets isolated when the car is off for safety. It needs that 12v battery to power things up and reconnect the battery to the rest of the system for everything to work. Review this video for how the system works for more information https://youtu.be/SX5Klme59eY
    1
  24475. Hi! You should be able to do so without issues
    1
  24476. Hi! Underneath the back seat
    1
  24477. Hi! Yes it is
    1
  24478. This is difficult to diagnose here. You’d need to take it to a dealership.
    1
  24479. Hi! The EVAP system is not one that’s simple to diagnose without inspecting in person. What model and year do you have?
    1
  24480. Hi! I have a video with specific information for your Prius prime https://youtu.be/ddBEW93Pthk
    1
  24481. Hi! Underneath the back seat.
    1
  24482. Under the 2nd row seat a bit towards the back
    1
  24483. Hi! Yes that should be fine.
    1
  24484. Hi! You can jump start your hybrid from a conventional car
    1
  24485. It’s actually outside the car underneath it
    1
  24486. Tell them about it!
    1
  24487. Hi! I would ask the dealership specifically to check the spare tire and wouldn’t count on the check sheet. It’s often missed unfortunately
    1
  24488. They should know this
    1
  24489. That depends if it’s a good dealership. Not all dealerships are good but if you find one that is stick with them
    1
  24490. That really depends on the condition of the car. A pre purchase inspection is highly recommended with hybrids.
    1
  24491. Hi! It’s normal for the hybrid battery not to go to 100% as long as the car is running normal with no trouble codes I wouldn’t worry about it
    1
  24492. Hi! It’s underneath the back seat
    1
  24493. Hi! While I am not familiar with the exact model as it’s not sold in my area but the hybrid system in it I am familiar with and it’s a good one
    1
  24494. Hi! Yes you can
    1
  24495. Yes. You’ll see the vents on the sides of the captain chairs between the chair and the door. The battery is behind the vents.
    1
  24496. It’s underneath the 2nd row seat slightly towards the back of it.
    1
  24497. Hi! Underneath the back seat
    1
  24498. Hi! What is the code number?
    1
  24499. Hi! Your high voltage battery is underneath the back seat
    1
  24500. Hi! Underneath the back seat
    1
  24501. Hi! I would use 0W20 for your Prius. Also check the oil level when the car is fully warmed up. Perhaps after your 60 mile drive and see how high it is and go from there
    1
  24502. Hi! Just behind the back seat
    1
  24503. If you like the way hybrids drive I would go for a RAV4 hybrid they’re excellent hybrids
    1
  24504. I think a hybrid in your case would be a good choice if you like them.
    1
  24505. Hi! It depends. If your driving is consistent through out the year but for short distances then it’s good. But if you park the car say 6 months out of the car and drive it for 6 months then perhaps it’s not the best choice if you plan to keep it for over 7-10 years
    1
  24506. Hi! It’s located underneath the back seat
    1
  24507. Hi! You can
    1
  24508. Yes they’re actually very good for that use
    1
  24509. Hi! Yes wait a minute or two
    1
  24510. Hi! Underneath the back seat
    1
  24511. Hi! In the very back of the car in the storage area
    1
  24512. Very true and awesome point!
    1
  24513. Hi! On both models they’re underneath the back seat exactly like the video
    1
  24514. That’s a 2021 Toyota Venza hybrid
    1
  24515. Hi! Underneath the back seat
    1
  24516. Hi! I haven’t run into it. Do this so the dealership would help. Record a video with good audio when it does happen so they know what’s going on. That’s the best way with dealerships and intermittent noises
    1
  24517. Hi! It’s underneath the front seats
    1
  24518. @JAHDEL JOHN thank you for watching my brother! Best wishes with your career! We can never stop learning! We’ll stop learning about cars the day we retire and don’t wrench daily!
    1
  24519. Hi! It’s normal for them to run the engine more in cold weather
    1
  24520. Hi! Sitting like this will affect the battery. However if this happens once it’s ok. But if this happens very often it’s not good for the longevity of the battery
    1
  24521. Hi! It’s all the way in the back behind the rear seat. Here’s a video that shows you a sneak peak of its location https://youtu.be/ddBEW93Pthk
    1
  24522. I wouldn’t say you got a potato version. Bring it to your dealership and have them take care of it. That’s why cars come with warranties.
    1
  24523. Ok is there a selection in the screen when you put the car in reverse? Usually at one of the lower corners of the screen when you’re in reverse and the camera is on
    1
  24524. So let’s do the following. Put your car in reverse. Without moving the car turn your wheel all the way to right until it stops then turn it all the way to the left until it stops then go back to center. Do you see the dynamic lines now?
    1
  24525. Hi! I personally own a 2022 Toyota Camry hybrid but the car in this video was a 2021 Toyota Venza
    1
  24526. Hi! Behind the back seat
    1
  24527. Because li-ion batteries can produce the same voltage with a much smaller size. That way they can package the battery much smaller and lighter to fit in the car.
    1
  24528. Hi! Directly behind the rear seat.
    1
  24529. That’s a common issue then. It will need the EGR valve replace or cleaned along side the cooler and the lines. The intake manifold is harder to clean depending on how clogged it is
    1
  24530. Hi! Did they tell you why they’re replacing the intake manifold?
    1
  24531. It can but usually if they are in good health they don’t freeze easily. But it’s always best to start the car regularly to charge everything if possible.
    1
  24532. Hi! If it’s parked for an extended period of time every year that could have a negative effect on the battery. If it’s a one time occurrence it should good
    1
  24533. If it’s fused and not exceed the 1500 watt it should be ok as the hybrid system is designed to have that kind of draw in the sienna.
    1
  24534. They’re ok. Kinda of hard to find in good shape because people who take care of them hold on to them. Also they started with hybrid in 2006
    1
  24535. Hi! You’re good but I would push it. Get yourself a small jumper pack to carry. Much easier and safer
    1
  24536. Hi! It’s behind the back seat. See this video that I made which will show you exactly where the battery is https://youtu.be/0vwgmIsAefY
    1
  24537. Hi! Does it surge when it’s idling?
    1
  24538. Hi! That’s the AC drain and that’s normal.
    1
  24539. Thank you Shane! Happy new year my brother!
    1
  24540. Hi! Underneath the back seat middle row
    1
  24541. Hi! It’s a shift position not a button
    1
  24542. Hi! Depends on your car and it’s engine. Which model do you have?
    1
  24543. Hi! Underneath the back seat
    1
  24544. You can but usually the batteries are so small they can’t support a gasoline engine starter
    1
  24545. Hi! Yes I have a PayPal donation like www.PayPal.me/CCNdonate thank you!
    1
  24546. Hi! It’s underneath the back seat
    1
  24547. Hi! You’d need a smaller clamp to use it. I agree it’s tiny and on some model one sided
    1
  24548. Hi! I think a 20A charger should be ok. Make sure it’s fused properly in case.
    1
  24549. About 1 liter every 2000kms is the maximum normal.
    1
  24550. Sorry didn’t understand your question
    1
  24551. Not really. It could’ve been changed at some point with something else. I’d just replace it and everything will be good.
    1
  24552. Hi! That’s not normal and it should be changed. The color should be pink of the coolant.
    1
  24553. Hi! Honestly not very familiar with that model as they’re not sold in my area
    1
  24554. Hi! Underneath the back seat
    1
  24555. Hi! There are 3 vents underneath the back seat that has 2 screws each with a built in mesh filter
    1
  24556. Hi! I am not aware of an original accessory replacement to make the cup holders bigger
    1
  24557. Actually it’s not a joke. I’ve seen this before and if I remember it was a highlander hybrid and ended up being a total loss by the insurance company. They were 2 bags of ice that killed that beautiful highlander hybrid.
    1
  24558. Hi! There are 2 types. Either built into the radio or underneath the passenger side seat.
    1
  24559. You could but for a long term solution I would connect it directly at the battery
    1
  24560. I wouldn’t mix it.
    1
  24561. Hi! That depends on many factors. If the price is good and if the terms of the warranty fit your needs
    1
  24562. Hi! Underneath the back seat
    1
  24563. Hi! Yes you can do that. I would have your hybrid off when charging it
    1
  24564. I personally would change it every 5k miles
    1
  24565. Underneath the back seat just like the video.
    1
  24566. Thank you for watching! I have some of these videos but don’t have one for the 18 Camry hybrid yet find the rest here https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLeFzfl0Q8rQVmGC047YDDOTFEKGhoZ19K
    1
  24567. That’s interesting. Something is going on there. The only thing I can think of is something with the fuel tank valve sticking
    1
  24568. Very interesting. Now question. Did you lock the door when you went to pre pay?
    1
  24569. Hi! Underneath the front seats
    1
  24570. Hi! On the highlander underneath the back seat on the Hs just behind the back seat
    1
  24571. It won’t power up in neutral because it can’t start the engine if needed.
    1
  24572. Hi! Going downhill shouldn’t be an issue. However using B mode which does the same on a flat road every day is a lot of stress for the engine
    1
  24573. Hi! Yes but not permanently. When it comes on you can go to turn off
    1
  24574. Hi! Coming up with a video soon on that
    1
  24575. 12v battery
    1
  24576. Hi! You’re pretty much set! Best wishes with your hybrid ownership
    1
  24577. Hi! I think they’re nice minivans well optioned! The next live stream is next Saturday. I’ll announce it
    1
  24578. Hi! You can jump start your hybrid from another car through the jump points under the hood
    1
  24579. Hi! If you drive it 2-3 times a week at least 5 miles you should be good.
    1
  24580. Yes you can
    1
  24581. On which hybrid model?
    1
  24582. Hi! Test the battery yearly. Only a better test. You can’t really do a starter test on hybrids since they don’t have one.
    1
  24583. Yes that is totally fine.
    1
  24584. Hi! Underneath the back seat
    1
  24585. Hi! Honestly hard to tell without getting codes. Does the engine run all the time?
    1
  24586. Hi! It’s underneath the front seats
    1
  24587. Both. It’s not used as a hydraulic fluid just for lubrication and heat dissipation
    1
  24588. I have a video for the transmission fluid diy here’s the link https://youtu.be/I1fP-RKsqG0
    1
  24589. On that engine you’ll lose a very very small of mpgs and that’s it
    1
  24590. The eCVT in Toyota hybrids use Toyota WS ATF and you can use 0w20
    1
  24591. Hi! It’s underneath the back seat and yes the fan filter can clog up and cause issues
    1
  24592. Hi! It’s underneath the back seat. Not the same one as the video but a bit more towards the back of the 2nd row seat.
    1
  24593. Hi! Up to 1500 watt is acceptable from what I gathered.
    1
  24594. Hi! It shouldn’t be an issue to add spot lights
    1
  24595. Hi! A portable jumper is ok to use for the 12v battery in Toyota hybrids.
    1
  24596. Hi! Not very familiar with your model as it’s not sold in my area but it’s either under the back seat or behind it.
    1
  24597. Hi! It will run in safe mode where power is limited and the engine runs all the time
    1
  24598. Hi! I don’t have experience with the Pacifica to give you a non biased opinion
    1
  24599. Hi! It’s underneath the front seats
    1
  24600. You can use them as long as they connect to the jump points
    1
  24601. Hi! I would use the jump points not the USB port
    1
  24602. Maintenance! Especially the hybrid fan filters
    1
  24603. Hi! Underneath the back seat
    1
  24604. Hi! It’s the same thing globally. The microchip shortage is hitting manufacturing pretty hard now and things will get worse before they get better
    1
  24605. I don’t really have experience with Chevy equinox
    1
  24606. Hi! Yes it does.
    1
  24607. Hi! Yes just don’t overdo it with very big amps
    1
  24608. Hi! The previous hybrid generation was excellent! A 2012-2017 Camry for example would have the previous generation hybrid system and they are very reliable and make good buys.
    1
  24609. Hi! Underneath the back seat
    1
  24610. Hi! You can but avoid large amount of water especially on electrical connections. Spray it lightly with water then agitate everything with a brush then rinse lightly
    1
  24611. Hi! Same recommendation for oil change interval on hybrids. I plan on doing a dedicated video for hybrid maintenance
    1
  24612. You can rust proof a hybrid without issues. However on the newer cars like your sienna they’re well covered so rust proofing is not as needed
    1
  24613. Thank you for watching my video! The battery in your awesome 2021 highlander hybrid is underneath the 2nd row seats a bit towards the back.
    1
  24614. Hi! It can be used for camping
    1
  24615. The highest mileage has been a cab with over 600k miles so far
    1
  24616. I am not very familiar with the auris as it’s not sold in my country but is shares the hybrid system with many models that are and those models has been reliable with good maintenance
    1
  24617. Hi! No this was a car I had to use for filming.
    1
  24618. Hi! Charging the 12v battery is ok no need to disconnect anything just make sure the car is off. Try to keep your speeds below 70mph and avoid hard acceleration. A break in oil change is not a bad idea around 1000 miles. Congratulations!
    1
  24619. Hi! Pulling the service plug disables the system and as a safety measure disconnect the 12v battery as well
    1
  24620. Hi! The RX450h works the same and is actually a good suv to buy.
    1
  24621. They’re both reliable honestly. Go with the models that fits your needs for example v6 for power and hybrid for gas mileage
    1
  24622. Hi! On the dealership side this sound is considered a safety feature so it can’t be turned off
    1
  24623. I personally would change it every 6 months
    1
  24624. They could work. However I would use car specific products.
    1
  24625. You’re welcome to post your questions as comments or email me. Email does take some time for me to replay but I always with. Personally I use mother’s products and they are good. You’d need a cleaner and a conditioner. Many good brands out there
    1
  24626. Hi! Video coming soon hopefully but they’re directly in the ground when you open the drivers and passenger front door
    1
  24627. Yes a portable jumper is good to jump start it if needed.
    1
  24628. Honestly I don’t have experience with those. Let’s see if any of the other viewers would chime in if they have experience with it
    1
  24629. Hi! Which model?
    1
  24630. Hi! Underneath the front seat
    1
  24631. Hi! Which model?
    1
  24632. Hi! Mobil 1 is the supplier of oil for Toyota so using mobile one full synthetic 0w16 is good for your Camry hybrid.
    1
  24633. Sorry not familiar with your hybrid model as it’s not sold in my area. What engine name do you have?
    1
  24634. I would check rear brakes for sticking. Also check your tires if they are eco tires or regular. Also how’s your driving?
    1
  24635. What year Prius and what’s the mileage?
    1
  24636. That will vary on a lot of factors
    1
  24637. Hi! It has been replaced with the S mode which is essentially a graduated b mode
    1
  24638. Hi! Underneath the back seat
    1
  24639. Yes
    1
  24640. Underneath the front seat
    1
  24641. Underneath the back seat.
    1
  24642. Hi! On the canister valve it opens when you open the lid. On models that has this feature you’ll notice a slight delay between pushing the switch and the door actually opening. On the jump start, usually the issue is that the 12v battery is too small to support the power draw from a conventional starter
    1
  24643. I’m not really sure about Europe. I would ask your local dealership
    1
  24644. Hi! I would disconnect the 12v battery negative terminal
    1
  24645. It doesn’t but it’s not recommended for safety
    1
  24646. The maintenance light only counts 5000 miles. I would change the oil every 5k if I were you and you were keeping the car long. But that’s up to you.
    1
  24647. No harm carrying both keys except if you loose your keys you’ll loose both at the same time
    1
  24648. A small pump like that wouldn’t be an issue.
    1
  24649. Hi! A completely dead battery would need at least 30 minutes of charge to somewhat come back. A charge with an external charger is recommended to fully charge it.
    1
  24650. Hi! Yes it can
    1
  24651. That’s a 2021 venza hybrid
    1
  24652. Hi! Did you try to turn off the car and turn it back on? That usually does it. If not there might be an issue. Also in the center console below the climate controls there’s a button to turn on and off traction control try that as well
    1
  24653. Hi! It’s located underneath the back seat.
    1
  24654. The hybrid transmission uses a planetary and electric motors
    1
  24655. Yes it does
    1
  24656. The battery is on the right rear of the Venza as well
    1
  24657. It can but for long term I would connect directly at the battery
    1
  24658. That’s very interesting. I’ll look into that.
    1
  24659. Yes it’s on the list and will come in the future
    1
  24660. Hi! Underneath the back seat
    1
  24661. Hi! You can jump start your hybrid if the battery is dead. But avoid jump starting other cars from your hybrid
    1
  24662. You can jump start all hybrids from the designated jump start point under the hood. And the 100A fuse is bolted in not soldered..
    1
  24663. That is ok
    1
  24664. Hi! It’s ok just don’t go over board with it
    1
  24665. Hi! That’s normal
    1
  24666. Yes it does.
    1
  24667. Hi! That model has a low profile battery that sits underneath the carpet even with the captain chairs and is one unit
    1
  24668. Hi! Just behind the back seat area
    1
  24669. Hi! Directly behind the back seat
    1
  24670. Hi! Yes it can! Jumping a hybrid Toyota is not a problem. Jumping another car from your hybrid can be an issue.
    1
  24671. I would still check it
    1
  24672. It’s underneath the back seat. The car in this video is a 2021 Venza.
    1
  24673. Honestly any small battery maintainer would do. But I’d rather you invest in a small jumper pack. Serves for the future as well and is much easier to use than a maintainer. If you drive the car once or twice a week that should be good to keep the battery charged.
    1
  24674. Hi! I don’t think it’s an ideal scenario to use it going downhill
    1
  24675. Hi! Yes every 60-90k miles
    1
  24676. Hi! I would get the battery tested and replaced as needed. Also consider a battery maintainer that connects to the car at all times when it’s parked and not used.
    1
  24677. Hi! Underneath the back seat
    1
  24678. Underneath the front seat
    1
  24679. Idling without ac should be ok. As the engine will run only when needed to charge the battery or to heat up. And wouldn’t run all the time.
    1
  24680. The car will work perfectly fine. But keep doing this overtime and something is going to give. It’s simple limitations of mechanical parts.
    1
  24681. That’s true but one thing about taxi drivers from what I see. They are professional drivers and they really take care of their cars. And when things break down they fix them and fix them right. So they don’t have a problem replacing a compressor that failed or lines that leaked because they make money out of their cars and that kind of harsh use is part of their job. I see taxi drivers constantly take care of their cars a lot more than hybrid owners in some cases.
    1
  24682. Having the AC on overnight with a stopped car is not healthy for the ac system. As it’s designed to have air flow from the car driving. After some time the pressures start rising and that puts a load on everything in the system.
    1
  24683. Hi! I wouldn’t exceed 1500watt and some model siennas come with a 1500watt max outlet. Also leaving the hvac on overnight is stressful to the car but if you do that very occasionally then you’re good. But if it’s every weekend it’s not recommended
    1
  24684. Hi! I would play it safe and not jump another hybrid that’s not a Toyota unless you’re sure they don’t have a starter
    1
  24685. Just behind the back seat
    1
  24686. Thank you for watching my videos! So Toyota doesn’t offer a kit like honda does. Toyota with accessories has always been conservative compared to others.
    1
  24687. Some of it applies to the older models. The 2nd gen prius was the most sensitive for overfilling the oil.
    1
  24688. Hi! I wouldn’t use it too much as that puts a load on the hybrid system that’s not needed. If you use occasionally it’s ok but using it every single day and in every drive is not recommended.
    1
  24689. Hi! It can be tested. At this young age it’s doubtful you’ll need one. Other signs is very high dimming when you start the car.
    1
  24690. That’s a very good question. Because the engine in certain conditions is not directly connected to the wheels. It could start up at lower rpm then go up. And usually when you’re getting to higher speeds the engine was just running and is already primed with oil.
    1
  24691. They don’t have an electric oil pump. It’s a mechanical oil pump. The water pump is electric in most of the newer ones.
    1
  24692. Most hybrids today don’t have starters so they should be ok as well
    1
  24693. A 20A load is high but should be ok. For reference to why it’s not good to jump start a gasoline car from your hybrid, a typical starter will draw easily over 100A and could go close to 250A
    1
  24694. A dead battery takes quite a bit of load to actually charge up. If you use your battery when the car is off discharging it and then turn the car on to charge the battery which is now bigger in capacity it could be too much for the dc/dc converter to handle.
    1
  24695. Hi! I would be careful adding a second battery or a bigger battery as the screen/dc converter is only designed to charge that size battery let alone 2. I would use a separate system from the car.
    1
  24696. Chicago/middle eastern
    1
  24697. Hi no speed limit really on B mode. Most of them have jump points under the hood.
    1
  24698. The corolla cross has arrived in the us yes
    1
  24699. Hi! It’s located behind the back seat.
    1
  24700. Did you check it after you run the engine and let it shut off for a minute?
    1
  24701. Hi! Likely the pads need some cleaning and grease application to take care of it.
    1
  24702. It’s definitely something with their pumps
    1
  24703. Interesting. It could be that one Costco pump.
    1
  24704. Hi! Nothing really. It’s not advisable that you have repeat storage of over a month
    1
  24705. Reversing up a hill should be ok. Might be slow but it’ll go
    1
  24706. Hi! Underneath the back seat
    1
  24707. It shouldn’t.
    1
  24708. Which model?
    1
  24709. So some of the newer cars will actually engage b mode automatically to help. But there are cases of a very long drive down hill at higher speeds where it’s not enough and you need b mode.
    1
  24710. It will surprise you as 100k is easily achievable.
    1
  24711. You can pull a 230lbs trailer and kayak. It’s the same as having 2 people in the car in addition to the driver.
    1
  24712. Hi! In the sienna the battery is underneath the front seats.
    1
  24713. Hi! It shouldn’t drain down your battery
    1
  24714. Hi! The high voltage battery is underneath the back seat
    1
  24715. The oil viscosity might be ok but the overfilling is for sure not good
    1
  24716. Hi! On the side of the back seat. Congratulations!
    1
  24717. That should be ok
    1
  24718. Hi! The hybrid transmission fluid is recommended for replacement every 60-90k miles
    1
  24719. Hi! Underneath the back seat
    1
  24720. Hi! If a new battery still dies overnight there might be something sticking on and drawing the battery. I would start with a parasitic draw to see what’s draining the battery
    1
  24721. Hi! Underneath the back seat
    1
  24722. Hi! The battery is underneath the back seat. I think the newest highlander hybrid is excellent! Great powertrain and the 4 cylinder engine combined with the hybrid system gives really good gas mileage! Take care of the car and it will take care of you for a long time
    1
  24723. Yes they will. Tires have a huge impact on gas mileage.
    1
  24724. If it has good service history and been taken care of. It’s a good buy
    1
  24725. It's in the back directly in front of you when you open the hatch door.
    1
  24726. Yes you can
    1
  24727. Hi! Yes you can
    1
  24728. They are if you take care of them. Engine tends to burn oil but that has a fix. So if you buy one that’s been fixed it’s a good car otherwise
    1
  24729. Underneath the back seat
    1
  24730. The regular hybrid RAV4 is underneath the back seat
    1
  24731. Thank you for watching. The car in this video is a 2021 Toyota Venza hybrid
    1
  24732. Hi! No need for waiting. If the weather is cold and the gasoline engine comes on give it a few minutes then start driving.
    1
  24733. I would correct the oil level first. The rough start if it’s caused by oil in the intake it would cause trouble codes like misfires. Do you have a code reader? Check for pending codes. If you have none I’m not worried then.
    1
  24734. Hi! Underneath the back seat
    1
  24735. Hi! Underneath the back seat
    1
  24736. Hi! As long as you stay within the towing limit you’re good. The curt one is equal quality to the oem one.
    1
  24737. Hi! That’s normal. Your Prius doesn’t need much power to turn on as all it’s doing is powering up a few computers and relays not like a conventional gasoline car which has a power drawing starter. I would get the 12v battery tested and replaced as needed
    1
  24738. Hi! I would connect it to the battery directly. It’s underneath the back seat towards the passenger side.
    1
  24739. Hi! Adding the system is not as simple as adding the sensor and receiver. Plenty of programming and possibly computer changes are needed
    1
  24740. 😂 I would film that
    1
  24741. Hi! Underneath the back seat extending into the area of the 3rd row seat
    1
  24742. Underneath the back seat
    1
  24743. Hi! The battery on your prime is underneath the car outside but under the back seat is the DC DC converter
    1
  24744. Hi! Underneath the back seat
    1
  24745. Hi! If she drives the car regularly just short distances she’s probably ok with a hybrid. But repeated long term storage is an issue.
    1
  24746. Yes they are
    1
  24747. Homer glen IL
    1
  24748. Hi! Depends if it’s a dealership or not and where you live. Around 7-8 hours of labor. Likely over $1k no more than $2k
    1
  24749. Hi! The LS500 so far is doing well. Buying a car like that you should expect some repairs that are expensive but nothing like it’s German rivals. Shop is located in Homer glen IL
    1
  24750. The alternator is on the passenger side of the front of the engine
    1
  24751. No problems but eventually it becomes a large leak and you run the risk of overheating
    1
  24752. Couple hours of labor plus a tube of sealer. Hour rates vary. Tube of sealer around 20 bucks
    1
  24753. Similar with some uodates
    1
  24754. It’s not ideal long term.
    1
  24755. Hi! If you pay for the 1000 mile oil change they should have no issue doing it
    1
  24756. Recover the refrigerant and recharge it to start
    1
  24757. You can
    1
  24758. Hard work and dedication
    1
  24759. They are similar in reliability
    1
  24760. Hi! I don’t recommend led DRLs because it will flicker
    1
  24761. I feel the same way when I need to figure out how to change a setting on the camera 😃
    1
  24762. Hi! History on the old trans is unknown. And the reason it was replaced is also unknown. However there’s a common problem with these transmissions to shudder and perhaps that’s why it was replaced. Fluid changes wouldn’t cause this issue though
    1
  24763. Yes you can
    1
  24764. Hi! Consider a break in oil change around 1500-2000 kms then every 8000 kms
    1
  24765. If your manual specifically says use 0w16 only then you should. If it lists other weights as options then consult the chart for appropriate temps in your area and use the correct oil weight accordingly
    1
  24766. Hi! It is completely normal for new engines to have metallic flakes and you might still see some on the 2nd oil change nothing to worry about. And it’s ok to clean the housing with brake cleaner.
    1
  24767. Thank you!
    1
  24768. Hi! I wouldn’t change it. If it’s always torqued to spec and not over tightened it will last the life of the car
    1
  24769. Hi! No. If you decide to say change your engine oil every 5k miles instead of 10k. You will pay for the first one then they will take care of it at 10k then at 15 you will pay for it then at 20 they will cover it
    1
  24770. You can change the engine oil on your car at any time. If you have free maintenance it will not cover the early oil change so you’d have to pay out of pocket
    1
  24771. I would change it at 7500 kms personally.
    1
  24772. Hi! It doesn’t matter mixing brands but I would use specific power steering fluid instead of atf
    1
  24773. Hi! The new filter for your car is 90915-YZZN1. The 90915-YZZF2 works but it’s discontinued and the N1 replaces it
    1
  24774. It’s in there too.
    1
  24775. The differential fluid talk will be coming up in future parts of this series
    1
  24776. Bao Pow will do! Thank you
    1
  24777. Hi! Could be the seal between the mirror and the door. Use masking tape to cover the area and drive it. When you locate the area that quiets down the noise inspect the seal and/or replace as needed.
    1
  24778. Hi! No harm in using higher octane and the break in oil change is not required but recommended if you’re keeping that car long
    1
  24779. Hi! You can use synthetic but it’s not required
    1
  24780. Hi’ they didn’t have a filter from the factory but one can be installed. The vent is on the passenger side of the rear seat
    1
  24781. I would especially in the case of low mileage
    1
  24782. I would especially in the case of low mileage
    1
  24783. Hi! The fuel filter lasts the life of the car. No need for replacement
    1
  24784. Hi! For engine you want to warm the engine completely then shut it off and wait 1 minute the oil level should be at the full mark. On the transmission with the transmission fully warmed up and the car running check the dipstick it should be close or at the max mark for hot
    1
  24785. I would stick with the 5k 6 months even if it’s synthetic oil.
    1
  24786. Hi! Head over to parts.Toyota.com and use your vin number to find them
    1
  24787. Hi! I wouldn’t add any oil additives and instead focus more on timely oil changes
    1
  24788. Hi! I would change it every 8000 kms or 6 months
    1
  24789. That’s up to you. I would go to the owners manual and read about the severe service. If any of the conditions apply to your driving then I would pay to have it changed every 5k or 6 months. Personally I would change it every 5k or 6 months if you plan to keep the car long
    1
  24790. It does break down from sitting. I’d like you to review your maintenance guide. Under special operating conditions. See if any of the conditions apply to your driving, like short trips. If it does then a 6 month oil change is recommended if not then a year is good
    1
  24791. That really depends. Do you work on your own car? If you do then it’s no worth it. If not then it’s almost the same as paying for each service. Personally I wouldn’t unless you know for sure that you are keeping the car and will be putting enough miles to use the services in the plan.
    1
  24792. You’re welcome! Have a good day
    1
  24793. autumn1231 you can use that one however I would look for Mobil one if it was my 2020 rav4
    1
  24794. Hi! Going off memory here 90915-YZZA6 if it’s a cartridge or 90915-YZZN1 if it’s a spin on
    1
  24795. Hi! I normally don’t recommend engine oil additives
    1
  24796. Hi! I personally wouldn’t modify the original design and stick with the cartridge torquing it to spec and you won’t have issues
    1
  24797. Hi! Was this a Canadian model brought to the US?
    1
  24798. It has a place for a filter but from the factory it didn’t come with one. You can add one for ease of service. The vent is located on the passenger side back seat side. As soon as you open the passenger rear door look at the edge and you’ll see a vent. The filter for this car is reusable once you get one you can clean and reuse it.
    1
  24799. Hi! What are you trying to service on your 2015 Prius?
    1
  24800. Thanks for sharing the information! The sticker doesn’t say much and we always wondered.
    1
  24801. Hi! At your local Toyota dealership
    1
  24802. It works but I wouldn’t spend the extra money as the original filter will protect the engine well enough when maintained at the correct interval
    1
  24803. Hi! You can switch to synthetic
    1
  24804. That’s slightly over filled
    1
  24805. Hi! I would warm the car up complete and after a good drive shut off the car for a couple of minutes then check the oil level to get an accurate reading. If it’s low then I would ask the dealership to start an oil consumption test to see if it qualifies for warranty repairs or the consumption is within the normal levels
    1
  24806. Hi! You’ll need to lift the wheels and spin them to see if they spin freely or with resistance
    1
  24807. Hi! Are the rear brakes locking up?
    1
  24808. I would still change it every 6 months
    1
  24809. Your car was no equipped with a filter from the factory. A video is coming up soon on how to clean the fan and install a filter
    1
  24810. Hi! I would use 0w20 full synthetic oil.
    1
  24811. Thank you!
    1
  24812. Thank you for your comment. Could you elaborate a little bit regarding county/race/gender?
    1
  24813. Your Tacoma requires synthetic oil.
    1
  24814. Hi! I wouldn’t
    1
  24815. Hi! Yes Mobil 1 is good
    1
  24816. They still recommend it at 10k miles or 1 year but there’s actually a lot of conditions that would revert you back to 5k or 6 months and this applies to Europe as well
    1
  24817. That’s not a problem! I would consider changing the oil and filter every 5k or every 6 months whichever comes first and you should have no issues at all.
    1
  24818. Hi! It applies to both.
    1
  24819. It’s very possible that it varies by region
    1
  24820. Hi! I personally would. The recommendation is 6 months if you have special operating conditions which is short trips. If that applies to you then I’d go 6 months
    1
  24821. Hi! I hear you! They’re getting a bit up there with harder maintenance. So amsoil is good but tends to be on the expensive side. Every 5-6k or 6 months is perfect!
    1
  24822. Hi! Do you do frequent short trips under 5 miles?
    1
  24823. Possibly because of different oils climate or travel distances. What does your owners manual say?
    1
  24824. Hi! That fuse has bolts holding it in place. You will need to fully disassemble the fuse block to access them
    1
  24825. Hi! On oil I would use 5w30 synthetic or conventional. Mobil 1 makes good oil. On the timing belt it should have been replaced but I would inspect the belt to see how it looks and go from there
    1
  24826. Hi! Here’s a video with details on your highlander battery filter https://youtu.be/WNo-VXJSg7s
    1
  24827. Hi! Yes it does. Naturally in engines some fuel mixes with the oil. Overtime that fuel starts to break down the oil.
    1
  24828. Hi! The fuel filter in the tank is not a serviceable item and will last the life of the car
    1
  24829. If the filter is ripped I would replace it as it becomes ineffective. Also usually around 30k miles they seem to get dirty but still check it every service in case it gets dirty earlier
    1
  24830. Thank you! Yes most of this information applies to hybrids as well.
    1
  24831. Hi! There are some conditions that require you to go to half intervals. Read your owners manual on maintenance
    1
  24832. Hi! I would change it at 1000 then 5000. After that every 5000 miles
    1
  24833. You can but the maintenance light only counts miles not time
    1
  24834. What year?
    1
  24835. That’ll depend on the car and the engine that it has.
    1
  24836. Hi! Oil starting with 0 is always synthetic. I would use 0w20 in your car.
    1
  24837. It’s very rare to happen but I’ve seen a case. Glad you could get the part quick sometimes these are not readily available.
    1
  24838. I would get a new one in this case. Thread it by hand until it stops and you’re good to go.
    1
  24839. Hi! The union comes out sometimes and it’s just threaded in. You didn’t damage anything. If it doesn’t want to separate you’ll need a large hex which goes into it to remove it from the filter then back onto the engine
    1
  24840. Hi! On low mileage cars maintenance needs to be done by time. For example oil changes every 6 months
    1
  24841. Hi! Synthetic is a good choice. I would use semi synthetic as it doesn’t really do much
    1
  24842. That one uses 5w30 non synthetic
    1
  24843. Hi’ which kind of Toyota year and engine do you have?
    1
  24844. It varies by model usually around the back seat. Either to the side of it or underneath and some are in the package tray behind the back seat headrests.
    1
  24845. No issues with castrol.
    1
  24846. G92DH-47020 and it’s located between the back of the back seat and the passenger side rear door. You’ll see the vent as soon as you open the door.
    1
  24847. Jake what year gen2?
    1
  24848. Hi david! Thank you for watching my videos. So the corolla started with a cartridge in 2009 and around 2015-2016 it switched to a spin on. On those 2 years you have to look. The 18 Camry 4 cylinder uses a spin on for the 4 cylinder which is the same spin on for the corolla 90915-YZZN1 and the v6 Camry uses a cartridge
    1
  24849. Hi! Heat does affect them but in the form of mpg drop and as long as the cooling system is taken care off you should have no issues
    1
  24850. You can’t go wrong changing the engine oil more often.
    1
  24851. Hi! It’s possible that they know that 0w16 is not readily available that’s why. If that’s the case I wouldn’t use more than 0w20 honestly
    1
  24852. Thank you so much! Anything you need comment or email. Have a blessed day
    1
  24853. Hi! The Prius C will use the F2 OEM filter which recently got changed to N1 filter.
    1
  24854. Hi! So the side bolster of the back seat on the drivers side would have to be removed so you can install that mesh fabric over the vent opening. While there I would use a small inspection camera to check the fan. Inspection camera can be bought cheaply from Amazon.
    1
  24855. Hi! Thank you for watching my channel! So on your rav4 it has 5 sensors one on the spare. Those do need to be programmed if they are replaced
    1
  24856. Hi! It’s a media filter
    1
  24857. Doug In this case I would not exceed the year at all in this case. Your Toyota dealership will allow an oil change by time. So essentially you’ll get 3 tire rotation only services and 2 oil change and tire rotation services within the time allotted for the Toyota care program.
    1
  24858. No difference really. Different terms. Mechanic is the general term. Toyota refers to their mechanics as technicians.
    1
  24859. Hi! You can bring your own parts to do repairs at the dealership. However they won’t warranty the parts of course if anything goes wrong
    1
  24860. Hi! The dealership would need to run the VIN to verify the battery kind
    1
  24861. Email me for information on the filter currently my system is down and can look it up later for you
    1
  24862. Hi daniel! It’s the same process as the beginning. I would practice that before you actually drain and fill so you are familiar with it.
    1
  24863. The coolant hoses typically last the life of the car
    1
  24864. Hi! On a 2015 it’s much less. Change the coolant every 50k miles
    1
  24865. Hi! Your 4Runner uses 0w20 which is only available in synthetic form. I would continue to use synthetic for this engine
    1
  24866. Hi! Personally I would change it first at 1000 miles then 5000 miles then every 5k miles after that
    1
  24867. Hi! Yes that’s ok.
    1
  24868. Hi! It should be in a separate booklet
    1
  24869. Hi! That is correct. It’s not about more additives. It’s an additive package that Toyota specifically formulated for their cars
    1
  24870. By nature of operation gasoline engines will put some gasoline into the oil. Gasoline mixed with oil lowers the viscosity of the oil to a point where it starts washing off as it’s too think and not work well as a lubricant. Replacing it every 6 months ensures that it never gets affected enough where it causes the washing effect from the lower viscosity.
    1
  24871. Hi! Yes I would still change it every 6 months
    1
  24872. You usually don't have to change it. You can clean it. And why isn't it part of the regular maintenance is a good question I have asked as well with no answer.
    1
  24873. Hi! You have the correct filter
    1
  24874. Hi! I wouldn’t extend it but that’s up to you.
    1
  24875. I would stay with 0w20
    1
  24876. The 10k oil change has a lot of conditions if you dig deeper in your maintenance guide. Issues we’ve seen as the cars get older is oil consumption.
    1
  24877. I know the filter is 90915-YZZN1 and almost sure the part number for the drain plug gasket is 90430-12031
    1
  24878. Thank you for watching my videos! I would keep the 0w20 for now make sure you use full synthetic oil and change it no more than 5k or 6 months. If oil burning starts try using an oil cleaning additive that should help if the issue is just starting. Last solution would be switching to heavier oil. With good maintenance you shouldn’t have to deal with these issues.
    1
  24879. You can extend it to a year however if you plan to keep it long I would consider doing the oil change earlier. Perhaps every 8-10 months should be good. If you drive repeated trips that are short under 5 miles I would highly recommend you stick with 6 months especially if you’re keeping the car long.
    1
  24880. Hi Riad. What is your car?
    1
  24881. Hi! Yes synthetic oil is required for the corolla cross
    1
  24882. Thank you for watching and subscribing! I would change it every 5k or 6 months if you plan to keep the car long.
    1
  24883. Thank you my brother! May the lord bless you and keep you.
    1
  24884. Thank you!
    1
  24885. Hi! I personally would
    1
  24886. Follow your maintenance guide recommendation. If it specifies 0w16 only then I would use it
    1
  24887. All Toyota models designated 0W20 oil take full synthetic.
    1
  24888. Yes you can on the engines designated 0w20 full synthetic
    1
  24889. Hi Barry. This has come up and it’s perhaps the way I said it. Let me clarify. Some Toyota models will have 0w20 AND 5W20 printed on the oil cap at the same time. Those cars usually took conventional oil and in those specific cars cases I recommend you use 5w20. But if your cap only says one weight stick to it.
    1
  24890. Hi! It will depend on your model Toyota, what engine you have and what your climate is.
    1
  24891. I would use Toyota oil or Mobil one if you don’t have a specific brand that you’re familiar with.
    1
  24892. Hi! I would change it per the manual recommendation of 6 months if you do repeated short trips
    1
  24893. Thank you for watching my videos. Find the video for the sealed transmission fluid replacement here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRxSu4-4ojo
    1
  24894. So far they’re still 120k for this model but have changes to some to 60k
    1
  24895. Hi! Which engine does it have?
    1
  24896. The bottle doesn’t indicate the manufacturer of the fluid.
    1
  24897. Hi! You can clean the engine bay just avoid direct high pressure water on electrical connectors and try to dry them afterwards
    1
  24898. Hi! You’re good to use either in the engine in your car. Stick with the recommendation from your owners manual
    1
  24899. Yes
    1
  24900. The filter is the intake air for cooling. It does look like a vent but it’s not a venting for the battery. The cooling fan takes air from the cabin to cool the battery then exhausts the air outside the car
    1
  24901. The batteries are vented to the outside? When batteries are installed inside they have a vent hose so they vent outside the car
    1
  24902. Hi Carlos. Amsoil makes very fine oil, but for the cost I question is it really needed in a Toyota. The toyota branded oil or mobil 1 does a fine job so why spend more?
    1
  24903. 10w40 might be a bit much
    1
  24904. There’s 3 vents underneath the back seat. The filter is built into the vent
    1
  24905. Hi! They’re trying to improve their impact on the environment is the reason we hear.
    1
  24906. Hi! So the oil is made by Mobil to Toyota specifications. No real information published by Toyota on what’s special about it
    1
  24907. Hi! You’re not one of those crazy people! You’re one of those people who know better! Much respect for the way you take care of your car!
    1
  24908. If your driving fits within the normal driving conditions per the maintenance manual then you’re good. I personally would still change it every 5k or 6 months but that’s up to you
    1
  24909. Hi! They don’t lie to their customers. If you read further in the owner manual under special operating conditions you’ll see many conditions that would revert the oil change interval back to 5,000 miles or 6 months.
    1
  24910. Very true that applies even more there! Even some parts from European dealerships are shocking when you compare prices. I’d always include the dealership in any price shopping for everything
    1
  24911. I would change them every 120k miles or around 10 years. Parts wise you’d need to use your vin at your local dealership.
    1
  24912. Hi! You don’t have a defective transmission! Very few 2014s did but yours should be good. Change the fluid every 60k miles and 6 years and you should not have issues
    1
  24913. The filter doesn’t really do much for oil dilution with fuel. I would consider every 5k or 6 months
    1
  24914. Hi! I do recommend it. It’s not required but recommended
    1
  24915. It’s the A1 filter which can be bought from any dealership
    1
  24916. Hi! Head over to parts.Toyota.com and use your vin to search for it
    1
  24917. Either or honestly.
    1
  24918. Hi! The part number for the spin on is 90915-YZZN1
    1
  24919. Hi. Find the specs in this video they apply to your car https://youtu.be/YvsyTNVzzXM
    1
  24920. Most of these brands are good.
    1
  24921. So drive the car at 20 mph in a safe area then just hit the brakes hard for a quick second and let go, see if you feel the same noise
    1
  24922. While I cannot comment on other dealerships in my dealerships we exclusively use 0W16 on cars that call for it. There was a time that there was a shortage in supply and we substituted with Mobil 1 0W16. It is vital that you use 0W16 in your new Toyota engine as it has a variable oil pump that’s tuned to work with that weight oil.
    1
  24923. You’re welcome!
    1
  24924. That is correct. Kept at this mileage interval we don’t see any issues with both.
    1
  24925. Half way on dipstick when cold. Here’s a video with more information https://youtu.be/YvsyTNVzzXM also I would change the trans fluid on your Prius every 60-90k miles.
    1
  24926. Hi! Synthetic oil is required in your Tacoma
    1
  24927. I’ll take Arizona any day over Chicago road salt rust 😆
    1
  24928. Hi! They are good
    1
  24929. Thank you so much! Means the world coming from an awesome YouTuber that I follow! God bless you!
    1
  24930. Congratulations on your purchase and thank you for watching my videos.
    1
  24931. That’s the mystery. I would advice to change it every 5k from day one.
    1
  24932. Honestly I haven’t seen a good one. I usually keep the records and check them
    1
  24933. Hi! You could but I don’t recommend it. I would use power steering fluid that’s compatible
    1
  24934. Yes you can
    1
  24935. Awesome Information! Thank you for sharing!
    1
  24936. Thank you!
    1
  24937. Hi! Honestly I would change it every 6 months
    1
  24938. I would replace them both personally.
    1
  24939. Sorry I thought you wrote a Tacoma. 05 tundra doesn’t have a cabin air filter. None installed from the factory and no place to install one
    1
  24940. Hi! Cant find the location or can’t find a filter to buy?
    1
  24941. Hi! They are the same because even though the engine doesn’t run all the time it runs almost the same and to take guessing out of the picture I would follow the same mileage and time interval
    1
  24942. Hi! Every 60k miles or 6 years
    1
  24943. Hi! That oil viscosity works. 5w30 also works for that engine
    1
  24944. I would go with the other brands. Liquimoly and motul are very good brands. If it’s 0w16 then you’re good.
    1
  24945. It’s regional. In the US it’s the same price as any other oil.
    1
  24946. Hi! It will be close to the rear shocks but it can work. This one would be trial and error by installing one and seeing if it hits or not
    1
  24947. Hi! On those it wouldn’t hurt to get it closer to 3000 miles on regular oil
    1
  24948. Hi! I would change it every 6 months
    1
  24949. Hi! Every car will have rust problems in the rust belt if not regularly washed underneath and under coated. I would consider washing the salt off underneath the car whenever possible and undercoating the car to protect it
    1
  24950. Hi! The highest I would go on that engine is 5w30
    1
  24951. Thank you!
    1
  24952. Hi! I would change the transmission fluid using original fluid at 60k or 6 years and the differential and transfer case every 30k miles
    1
  24953. Hi! I think after all this kms you put on the car you should be good
    1
  24954. It is. But if you read into it and compare it to a large majority of people’s driving conditions they’d all fall into severe which makes it a 5k mile oil change
    1
  24955. That’s up to you. I speak of what I see in actual cars coming into the shop.
    1
  24956. Hi! Because there has been a lot of cases of oil debris buildup causing early oil consumption because of the longer oil change interval. Won’t show up when the car is new but will show as it gets older.
    1
  24957. Hi! 5000 miles are much more realistic
    1
  24958. Hi! I wouldn’t use any transmission fluid that’s not original personally.
    1
  24959. Honestly no. The gain or supposed gain you get doesn’t justify the extra cost.
    1
  24960. Hi! Likely that’s the issue. I’ve seen a few switches to bad
    1
  24961. Hi! I do it’s the same as Toyota Matrix
    1
  24962. They just call it fan filter. Usually the part number starts with G92DH
    1
  24963. Your 2005 sienna calls for 5w30 conventional oil
    1
  24964. Hi! Should be an A1 filter for your car
    1
  24965. Hi! I would consider replacing the engine oil every 6 months. With low mileage likely you are making short trips and if that’s the case 6 months is best for the longevity for your engine.
    1
  24966. Hi! Honestly they’re overkill. The original filter does a fine job of filtering and if the oil is changed on time you are good.
    1
  24967. They already have one with an updated cable
    1
  24968. Hi! Yes I have here’s the link Should you buy the latest Toyota RAV4 2019-2021? https://youtu.be/aUA2Jw1nKkk
    1
  24969. The seats are good. The SE and XSE seats are noticeably harder than the rest
    1
  24970. Likely the idle fluctuations have nothing to do with the code. Do clean your throttle body and see if it improves. Also remove one O2 sensor and see if it gets better. These were somewhat common for the cat break internally and clog the exhaust
    1
  24971. Hi! Honestly it’s very hard to guess that. I would check the codes
    1
  24972. Interesting. There has to be an area that it’s entering through. The rotten egg smell is usually catalytic converter that has debris. Is this car rarely driven hard?
    1
  24973. Hi! Is there any exhaust leaks especially on the manifolds?
    1
  24974. As Ahmad said you should have no issues. The idle will be off for a bit and it’ll relearn and all is good
    1
  24975. It should be ok if you are sure it’s original. If in doubt change it and be on the safe side
    1
  24976. Hi! Has it been replaced before?
    1
  24977. I honestly haven’t tried that method so can’t advice on it
    1
  24978. Hi! It will likely need cats. Wouldn’t hurt to try the method recommended but it’s success rate is nit guaranteed
    1
  24979. Hi! They could work. You’ll need a good catalytic converter to pass emissions
    1
  24980. Hi! In this case likely you’re going to need a cat replaced. Make sure you don’t have exhaust leaks.
    1
  24981. Hi! Top tier fuel
    1
  24982. Hi! Not always. When cars are driven in the city and not driven hard a lot of debris collect in the catalytic converter then when you suddenly drive it hard it gets pushed out and makes that smell
    1
  24983. Hi! Months of misfiring would kill a cat
    1
  24984. Hi! I wouldn’t be concerned yet. Does your car consume or use oil?
    1
  24985. Hi! Not really. Cats on cars that are not driven hard typically will make this smell when driven hard and that’s normal
    1
  24986. Sounds like a bad cat. Does your engine burn oil by any chance?
    1
  24987. Hi! Did you use an oem cat? And is this a V6 model?
    1
  24988. I hope so.
    1
  24989. Hi! If it’s the correct plug for the car it should be ok
    1
  24990. Hi! It’s similar to the previous generation and there are no issues with them falling apart
    1
  24991. Depends on the trim and configuration up to 12000 lbs.
    1
  24992. Hi! Honestly I would leave it alone at this point. You can cause more harm to the clutches than good.
    1
  24993. Hi! In my opinion they are
    1
  24994. Hi! I would consider replacing the oil every 5-10k I would do 5k but that’s up to you. The transmission needs fluid changes every 60k or 6 years.
    1
  24995. Hi! No the 2005-2015 Tacoma had the old 1GR. The 2016+ has the 3.5 updated 2GR-FKS
    1
  24996. Used to be the case in late 90s early 2000s but not anymore
    1
  24997. Head gasket. Not as common but is happening here and there and so far no exact reason why
    1
  24998. Old or new?
    1
  24999. Hi! Honestly I don’t know Specific products to modify the 4runners to get more power. However supercharges are an option but that would affect reliability.
