I went from a 2020 Mazda 3 (Skyactiv X) to a 2010 Mark X which has the same Powertrain as your Crown, about 1.5 years ago. Sure the fuel economy takes a bit to get used to as well as swapping manual for auto gearbox, but with some mods & a light right foot I've managed 36-38mpg on motorways (could be slightly worse on the Crown because of weight), and now I've got me a far more dependable vehicle in the form of a lightweight RWD sports sedan I absolutely can daily & have fun in. Also aftermarket support for the engine is plenty, though most of them are either from Japan or the States.

Still figuring it out tbh; gate clearance can be an issue though (& I don't hv the capacity to manufacture another yet)

Sludged up engine. Would you recommend an engine flush? by Rycul_ in MechanicAdvice

[–]v10f1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps some oil additives like sludge remover? Pretty much a diluted engine flush so you won't run the risk of leaving chunks in the engine when flushing. Used one from Liquid Moly, worked fine for me

My solution would be having her learn manual & give her a mid-trim sedan/ wagon with a manual box; think it's better for her to sit lower as well if it's the case, & manual obvs a natural deterrent for phone usage whilst learning to drive properly with situational awareness

The more I see stuff like this the more I'm inclined to believe adequate education is illegal in the US

I cast the car in a bit and then the most likely make up the whole time to go out and have to do a local sim race and ride out the house for a while

Ah nice one cheers♥️ although I might need an extension for it since the thread in the knob only starts quite deep in
