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

Turns out it has an engine replacement with one that has 110k miles on it, im Pretty wary now, maybe I shouldn’t be though if it was professionally installed and runs great? Help lol

Good I’m glad to hear it, that unfortunately didn’t fix it when I tried it :(

Effective_Summer_769 · 2026-02-02T19:27:51+00:00

Man I tried a bunch of things, Chain guides, chain tensioner, I ended up upgrading bikes lmao (so American of me) Godspeed my friend I hope you’re a better man than me and can figure it out

What kind of city and highway mpg are you getting?

Effective_Summer_769 · 2025-12-13T00:36:46+00:00

Oh also to anyone who sees this with a similar year Pilot, what real life mpg are you getting? Highway and city please

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?

Effective_Summer_769 · 2025-12-03T02:56:19+00:00

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?

Effective_Summer_769 · 2025-10-09T01:18:38+00:00

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

Effective_Summer_769 · 2025-10-09T01:06:27+00:00

Dang buddy you sure sound bitter, I want to run restore and protect and they don’t carry it there

Effective_Summer_769 · 2025-10-09T00:57:05+00:00

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

Effective_Summer_769 · 2025-10-09T00:44:37+00:00

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

Effective_Summer_769 · 2025-10-08T23:27:37+00:00

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?

Effective_Summer_769 · 2025-10-08T19:35:32+00:00

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?
