Tacomaholics "Anonymous" Support Group

pinstriping with nature. Another reason why white Tacoma’s are best. Also this is why I carry a machete, hatchet, ax and sometimes a chainsaw. Help prevent this from happening to other trail goers.
Lol so true! We had the tools but that stuff was so overgrown and over so long a distance that it would have literally taken all day to trim it up.
 
Something I do is remove the oil fill cap (TRD cap) before the drain plug. This helps create a vacuum effect and the oil comes out a little quicker. I tell myself it prevents more of the old oil from being left in the engine. Probably won’t change the out come either way.

Dump half a qrt of the oil leftover from last oil change. Push anything ur worried about thru.

When i was at a shop and did my own oil, id dump a full qrt thru of bulk oil... because, why not.

I do that too. I also use to prime the old can style oil filters and use some of the spill over to lube the gasket on the filter but I’ve heard mixed reviews on that. I haven’t had a vehicle with a can style oil filter for a while and probably never will so I’m not worried about it any more.

Tow package wont allow me to prime filter. Trucks doing fine. I remember doing that **** with diesels, it sucked.

Ive never heard anything about why NOT to lube the gasket. I know the yota filter for 2nd gens are lubed o rings, but i do and always will use oil on em.

Not about the lubing of the gasket...
I’ve heard mixed reviews on priming the oil fritter itself.
Always lube your fritter gasket.

Ah, ok.
Man some them huge diesel filters took 1.5qrts.
It took awhike for them to fill cuz they had to dissipate.

Maybe its turbo thing. Never had a turbski before myself.

Nomm, fritter gaskets.

I always do the same thing.
 
The human body is 60% water. So are my new headlights.


Open, reseal with more butyl, bake and clamp.
Then seal the 2 halves where they meet with ge silicone ii


Done this on retrofits, bhlm, and sealed a few for friends and some online strangers who sent me their headlights. 1 of which is in florida.

Ive NEVER had a set leak after ive sealed them
