4Runners have a rear window that rolls down. The exhaust tailpipe on a 4runner is also at the right rear of the vehicle. Under heavy acceleration with the rear window down the exhaust funnels back inside of the vehicle and you will smell it every time the window is down. I’m on my 4th 4Runner now. On this current 4Runner that I own I installed an aftermarket exhaust system and now dump the exhaust tailpipe out from underneath the vehicle at the rear axle. It’s better for ground clearance when 4wheeling and when I now have the rear window down I get no bad smells under heavy acceleration.

[@IAWAF]

In my experience, Castrol is thicker oil at the same viscosity rating as other oils. Fine in warmer weather, not as good when it’s cold due to slower flow.

[@robertvasquez240]

I owned a 1986.5 Supra that couldn't pass smog because of a check engine light code: The code referred to the oil sending unit according to a mechanic I no longer see: He replaced it, but the code came back within an hour of driving. I then took it to a local Buick dealership because someone referred me to his young mechanic friend: He simply cleaned the mass fuel air sensor and the check engine light finally went off and stayed off! So much for the engine code accuracy which made me replace a perfectly good oil sending unit when the the mass air fuel sensor just needed to be cleaned! And the young Buick mechanic didn't charge me anything!

I have a 2007 M35 that kept draining my newer battery. Nothing worked properly including the key fobs. One night I was in my garage and I heard the fan go on from the car in the driveway. The car hadn't been driven in almost 2 days so there was no reason for the cooling fans to come on. Turns out it was the sensor attached to the radiator between the fans that was the culprit all along. It would drain the battery overnight and then created more issues with key fobs not working or even not recognizing them at all (and yes I replaced the fob batteries as well). If this problem sounds familiar, try this simple $50 fix. Easy for anyone to do yourself.

[@BigPoppa-t3z]

[@Rick-S-6063]

A friend's mom's Chrysler Cordoba would drain its battery overnight. Early one dewy morning we noticed that there was very little dew on the trunk lid while the rest of the car was covered with water droplets. The trunk light had been staying on and running the battery down. I removed the bulb and that solved the problem.

[@melissasmess2773]

I had a BMW, it was trying to send hot coolant for the driver's heating zone while I slept. After it killed the battery the remote entry and key wouldn't open the driver's door, but the key opened the passenger door. Very naughty cars, many owners can't get into their BMW's every day.

[@jeffcard3623]

I have a G35 that drained batteries as fast as you could charge them. Water had gotten through the firewall due to drains clogged and a seal being loose and leaked on the Body Control module, which responded by shorting the microcontroller and turning on random circuits such as lights, defrost heater etc.

[@michaelcarson121]

I had a g37 with 235k milages when a Dodge Ram 🐏 backed into it in a parking lot and totaled it. Never had any issues with the battery, in fact the last battery I had before was totaled was like 5 years old and I live in Florida which is rough on batteries. Sounds like a parasitic drain somewhere. I never had any issues with my car always ran perfectly smooth. Just wheel bearings and some suspension parts 💪

Great video! I will say on an oil change, one of the rewards programs with a certain auto parts store makes an oil change special cost pretty much the same as buying the oil at Walmart. The first time is a few dollars more, but after that, you get reward coupons that bring it down to the same price and usually the oil itself is newer than what you find at Walmart. Plus you get to choose your filter and also can get a discount at a Shell gas station too.

Valvoline and Castrol are probably the best reasonably priced popular oils....

A mechanic friend told me many years ago that even with conventional oill back then, an off brand you find at Family Dollar will hold its viscosity to at least 6000 miles.... The synthetics are slicker and way better oils of course but this whole oil thing might be a sham---thank goodness synthetics have gotten cheaper...... The key is changing it at frequent enough intervals... I do 5K miles on my 4 cylinder Corolla (4 quarts)... If I had a car of 5 or more quarts I might go 6K miles since I use synthetic Valvoline...

My grandpa always recommended Pennzoil or Castrol, and I'm sure they are great, but I've been using oil with the manufacturer's (Subaru's) branding in my STI. Feels like the most cautious way to go, but I could be wrong. I have some research to do.

[@JohnSmith-pl2bk]

The shields serve many purposes. They stop spray/water splashing up from the wheels plus sticks/stones/mud into the engine compartment... and can also stop deeper water surging up into the engine compartment if you strike a deeper flood of water... plus they channel air out of the engine compartment (like a venturi effect) and smooth the airflow under the car
