Bogus booolsheet....Grumpy, why do you BoolSheet here, at yarisworld and other forums? Thank God most of the readers of your posts can see past your booolsheet...you, the same yahoo that claims using w20 grade oil will fry our Yaris engines....most every day you spread more and more boolsheet all over, when are you going to stop the proliferation of outright lies? At this point, your outrageous claims are getting funnier and funnier....lol  |
All of Grumpy's ramblings makes sense to professional engine builders, but not to the uninformed. I would not take ANY advice from a non-professional, though you can weigh multiple responses and form your own opinion. ---
Sz- You can only resort to name calling - the last resort of the politician; I'm sure that wins you an admiring audience. ----
So, do what you want and reap your just reward. I've owned over 70 cars in my life and don't expect to have this one for more than 40K miles. I'm am looking for the highest performance that pleases ME; so to each their own, take my advice or trash it; just trying to save some owners some heartache. Ioften run my car at 80-100MPH on my 32mile everyday commute and need the engine to run and live at the upper torque peak. The Toyota Manual strongly suggests running higher viscosity oil than the supplied 5W-30 at high speeds for extended periods - so YOU suggest we do the OPPOSITE that the Toyta Engineering recommends? Oh, now THAT makes sense ( cough) I'm just running the weight that came in the car - even THATS supposed to be too thin for my scenario. But Of course ,
Sz, EVERYTHING is perfect in Toyota land, so just piss in your engine and put on a Fram filter and you're good for 200K miles.
p.s.:
If any one want some REAL info about oil - go to the Tribologist's professional site at NORIA and poke around. BITOG is full of baffoons ...
