Purchase both. Put in 6 qts of top tec and 5 qts of special tec. That way you’re covered in case you have extreme oil consumption issues. Also, seriously?
The 4 cylinder automatic Emira is actually much faster than the 6/manual. If I remember correctly I believe Car and Driver ran an 11.7 in that combo.
I could be wrong though since manuals are faster than autos. ??
So, you just say hey, I think there’s like this really really really small chance my oil pump may fail how about you all replace it just in case? Did they think it was a joke?
We’re talking about a part that has less than a 1% failure rate. And when one does fail it defaults to high oil pressure so there is no “catastrophic engine failure”. I still can’t fathom why so many are so worried about this.
How do you spend nearly six months on this forum and yet somehow miss all of the new or bumped oil threads where the poster gets blasted for asking the same questions that have asked, debated, and answered probably a thousand times?
Another quick item. Be sure to file a diminished value claim since it was the other persons fault and insurance that is paying. Unfortunately, our cars will now have an “accident” on carfax which will make selling later more challenging and likely have to take a lower price. If you’ve never...
It’s not a difficult or long repair. Same thing happened to me except it was my wife that hit mine. Same spot as yours too. When calling our insurance agent she described it as one dumbass, two claims. She forgot I was next to her and you can’t see our cars from higher SUVs and trucks. I’m...
I may have misunderstood but I read this was purchased from a dealer and also purchased a five year extended warranty. To me that means a Toyota dealer and a Toyota Care warranty. If that’s the case then it should be covered since it was sold by a Toyota dealer as a stock vehicle.
Have it...
I drove it to a pickle ball tournament and then to the grocery store. Sounds pretty tame, right?
Now be ready to have your minds blown. I did this using oil that I did NOT consider 5 reasons why I’m using it. And my engine survived! It’s a Christmas miracle. I do think I could “feel” it...
