I donāt live far from Toyota HQ - got an ETA on when yāall are gonna be there on Sunday? My neighbors own a bar about 15 min north of there, would be a great place for drinks and pizza.
My best friends own The Highlander Public House in Wichita Falls. Theyāre located near the highway. Giveāem a...
Oil should be thin as possible, and thick as necessary. For street driving, I would stick with the factory GR 0W-20. For the the track, I would switch to a 0W-40 or 5W-40.

Donāt need to and have no desire to spend the time & effort jacking with my mkv when the linked article explains what Valvetronic is and how it works. The video even reiterates the throttle body is a fail safe and the blade is open.
Whatās your source that proves otherwise?
Valvetronic-equipped engines rely on the amount of valve lift for load control, rather than a butterfly valve in the intake tract. In other words, in normal driving, the āgas pedalā controls the Valvetronic hardware rather than the throttle plate...
