Good morning all.
I have a 2001 model Toyota solara v6 convertible that I will like to swap with either a Toyota Tacoma pickup or similar pickup to it.
Based in Abuja

Good DIY oga nurey
I am interested in your 5 Litres coolant
Pls is it advisable to switch oil brand from total quartz 5000 to the MRS 5w40 on a Toyota solara 1mz-fe engine with a mileage of over 170k miles?
Note I am base in lagos

Still going strong at 24mpg highway with no hold ups, but 19mpg with holdup.
What I did not mention previously was that I removed the sump and cleaned as a precaution.

Thanks, I will give it a try during the next oil change schedule. Cheers

My car has a v6 engine 1mz-fe and its my daily drive. At the last oil change which was two weeks ago, I decided to do engine flush as the oil usually gets blackish After like a month.
Here is what I did; after draining the oil with the oil filter in place and the oil drain plug open I poured like 5ltr of diesel into the engine and it drained out. Then I covered the drain plug and filled the engine with 5 litre of diesel, then I start the engine and let it run for less than a minute (my liver no carry d recommended 10min) I allow the engine sit for less than 30 min with diesel in it then I drained it out, it was so black. I allowed it to drain out overnight with the oil filter removed. Filled with 20w-50 with new oil filter, and intend to replace with 5w-30 and new filter at 1000miles.
I am presently at 395miles.
Now why I am commenting is because I checked my mpg at the second refill, and I am getting 21mpg for a 17year old car, now previously what I usually get is between 16 and 19! Which is a wow for me. Engine flush is good but it can also kill your engine if not properly done.

Hello uwenjack, how far with your vehicle performance up till this moment after the engine flush?
I am also contemplating on doing same on my vehicle with same engine as urs. 1mz-fe.

New dawn.

Now who told the hoodlums that he was the one who snitched on them?

Most like an accomplice or a mole in the force. So unfortunate
