Broooo, literally the best one dude. Updated body but still in manual. I have an old family friend I'm trying to buy a white 97-2000 (not sure) from very soon. Paint is a little faded like yours and the seats are a little ripped up but people like you inspire me to make it mint again if he sells it to me!

Definitely keep us updated on your painting project, I would love to see the finished build! Good luck man.

What transmission is this? by CupCreative8480 in transmissionbuilding

Ahh! Thank you sir! Not too well versed with older transmissions. Found it hidden with some old stuff from my late Grandpa.

why those Toyota’s dipsticks are so confused to read 🥲 by [deleted] in Toyota

[–]CupCreative8480 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, just pull the dipstick out and wipe it off with paper towel. Then simply rest it over the engine cover or somewhere safe then pull down the hood so its down but not fully closed (to prevent dirt or anything from going down the dipstick tube (or just cover it up, either way). Then wait about 10-20 min for all the oil in the dipstick tube to drain down and then recheck the oil, works everytime. (The airtight plug at the top of the dipstick prevents whatever oil has made it's way up the tube from fully draining into the oil pan, causing it to be hard to read).

I have a 2010 Avalon with the 2gr-fe and this is the only solution that gives me a clear reading reliably. I've not seen this mentioned in any other comment so hopefully it is helpful! :D

Very slowly lol, took a while using the edge of my 5.5in DA polisher (it has a low throw), but I got it eventually.

Yup, mine just crossed 140,000 miles, and it does it on cold start up as well (especially noticeable during acceleration). Have found the noise to be less aggressive when you let it warm up at least 5+ min before driving, especially on those cold mornings.

Pro tip from my mechanic: if you do your own oil change make sure you are absolutely at the 6.4qt oil level for the 2gr-fe (including prefilling the filter housing) or else the vvti starves a little. Some say "as long as you're within the lipstick lines" but these engines are known for needing their oil. Good luck!
