Re: Oil change questions

I normally change the oil every 5k I the factory specs calls for 5k if its driven hard and 7k if it is normal driving, do you think 5k is to long? I had a old Toyota Camry 4cyl with over 300k on the dash and I changed it every 3k and I was told that it was excessive lol.

Re: Oil change questions

Re: Odd question any one know the volumetric efficiency % of the 1.8L?

WOW!, Jolt you have to be employed in a scientific field. That was very helpful. IMurOB if you could find the info that would be great, but don't have to go out of your way to find it again. All info I could find points to 75-85% so looking like that might be the ball park.

Oil change questions

I'm looking to try something new in the old girl, it has 200k I have the 1ZZ, I currently use supertech syn 5w30 and a motor craft filter. Thinking of switching to high milage penzoil 5w30 and keeping the motorcraft filter.

The question now is what does every one else do/tried? And for how long?

Odd question any one know the volumetric efficiency % of the 1.8L?

I got the ODBII app "OBD Fusion" and it asked in the Vehicle setup page for our Volumetric Efficiency in percentage. I have tried to look up the way to calculate it and it is like trying to read ancient Greek. Has any one figured this out before? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: A/C and re-circulation button not working

as a side note the plastic clip that holds the wire that kicks the recirculate button off when you set it to defrost was also broken so it has been doing nothing for the past umpteen years and I never knew it lol I guess some would call it broken I call it "modified" lol :lol:
