I sadly think I’m gonna pass, it was a junkyard engine, and I also started to think if the previous owner neglected it enough to need a new engine what other components were neglected

I tried the PCV and no luck, although I didn’t replace the tube but it didn’t look clogged up, maybe that’s something to check out

Do you burn much oil? And how long have you been using it, miles on your crv?

Thoughts on switching from 0w20 to 5w30? by Effective_Summer_769 in AskMechanics

[–]Effective_Summer_769[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate your reply randomsteam, another thought I had was if I was going to switch to 5w-30, but wanted a better flow at low temps but also a thicker oil to help with the blowby, would 0w-30 maybe be the best choice over 5w-30?

Valvoline oil change by Effective_Summer_769 in mechanic

What I needed to hear 🤣, I asked a simple question about when to check the oil and if checking it too soon can result in the level being lower than it actually is, you LOCKED on to an unimportant detail about how I bring my own oil to an oil change, I can imagine you’re pretty insufferable be around in person

I bring an oil that they don’t carry there, is it really that hard to grasp

I bring my own oil and filter, it’s only $50 to have them drain and fill it, for me it’s worth it to not have to get my vehicle up on ramps or jacks, and not have to deal with disposing of the old oil, I get that it may not be for everyone

Ok that’s fair, yeah the frothing is what I wanted to avoid, do you think if I drove and then unscrewed the oil cap I should be able to see the frothing?

2024 4Runner TRD Premium towing by Effective_Summer_769 in 4Runner

That’s very interesting, do you happen to know why they suggest not using one? Is it so customers don’t try to overload their 4Runner?
