Hi Funny,

OK, i will go with a 5W30. Thanks for informing me about the high mileage oil. I don't know how much oil it uses so i will go with conventional on this change & see how often i need to add. I've had Fords in the past, diesel & gas, that it wasn't unusual to add a quart every 500 miles.

75W90 for the manual trans fluid? I thought that for better MPG's it was better to go with a regular 5W30? At least that's what I did w/ my Honda's. Is that what Toyota's like, 75W90? I drive pass Summit auto parts every Friday so I can get some Red Line or Royal Purple if I need. What's the capacity?

I have 234,000 & the check engine light is on so I may need a new O2 sensor. Bosch it is! Much needed info, thank you!

I live in NE Ohio so salt contamination is always a concern for a driver. I will have to pull the rotors off to get them at least turned, so I will check the pins too!

I will clean the MAF & the throttle plate w/ STP brand product. I will get to all this, I'm in the middle of building a 24x24 barn. I took in a beautiful all white 3 year old Arabian Mare. So I'm working w/ her to get some manners as well.

Man Funny, your a life/Toyota saver! (know anything about horses?)

Much appreciated,
Dave
