Check for ECU codes, you might have the speed sensor in the speedo going out.

Moved to the GE Tech section. Please pay attention to where you post.

Amsoil European Car Formula 5W-40 (AFL) http://www.amsoil.com/storefront/afl.aspx It's a PAO like GC, but is a bit thicker at 100 deg C (13.7 cst). However, being a PAO viscosity will drop along the same rate as GC above that temp. As suggested, you will need to buy a ZDDP additive if...

Did you check the radiator with the IR thermometer to see if there were any hot/cold spots...that would indicate a partial blockage.

You have to drop the pan and replace the filter...it's actually a screen. A complete fluid change/flush will not clean the filter. IMO, putting a real filter in the cooler feed/return line circuit is a very good idea. If you drop the pan, it will allow you to inspect the #1 solenoid causing...

A 160 stat is a bit cold...you want the coolant temps between 180 and 210 deg F. xms - do you have an A/C condensor fan installed? What temp do the Flex-a-Lite's come on?

If you do some reading, the exception is a tranny that requires a GL-5. If the Celica requires it, it should not shorten it's life at all. JJ - I thought you used MTL with excellent success , but wasn't sure.

Open carry is legal for anyone in AZ, no permit of any kind required. You have to have a CCW to carry concealed...this means that a CCW holder can carry concealed -or- open. Any business establishment can prohibit open carry on the premise by posting a sign on the door. Currently, carry of...

LOL...THAT would have been epic if you had started the motor! Holy Crap...where did all this oil come from! ;)

Ahhh...just checking. I had my speedo cable melt as described...when it cooled off, it snapped.

Check the cable near the downpipe for a melted section.

No, the flange is different.

The GL-4 spec has been around for quite some time...maybe this will help: http://www.api.org/certifications/engineoil/pubs/upload/1560.pdf If you are referring to a synthetic GL-4 vs a conventional (dino) GL-4, yes the synthetic is superior in resisting the shear you will find in a tranny...

Grim - I'm "guessing" it would take a while, especially since the TRSM allows it. I wouldn't leave it in there long though ;)

Yes, for the reasons and applications I stated earlier. Both are GL-4 gear oils.

The synchros are what I was wondering about...the high pressure additives in a GL-5 gear oil are corrosive (per above) to brass. Based on that, (if it were me) I would avoid GL-5 oils in the R-154. Even though the TSRM allows it.

In a stock to moderate HP drive train, MTL will be good to use IMO. It is a significantly thinner gear oil per below: MT-90 - 15.6 cst @ 100 deg C...90.0 cst @ 40 deg C MTL - 10.6 cst @ 100 deg C...56.2 cst at 40 deg C http://www.redlineoil.com/pdf/6.pdf Both are GL-4 oils which meet...

Considering what a FCD does, it's a grenade with the pin pulled on a stock motor. Yes, you can run one, but issue wise, an FCD can cause a BHG in a microsecond from an over boost-to-detonation without any additional fuel control. Consider the HKS alphabet soup of piggybacks was designed to...

Ding, ding, ding! Complements of IJ:

^^^ You guys are smoking something really good ;)
