I now use Gumont all purpose cleaner with PEA because I saw a video that Scotty recommends it. After reading the bottle it says that one can use an ounce per quart in the motor. Scotty never said that in his video...can I put it in my engine?
That is if you have a clogged up engine or something and you want to try to clean it out I would not advise using it regularly the oil is oil you don't want to dilute it
Great, thanks Scotty. I'll know now when to use or not to use. I just bought a 2005 Toyota Sienna from New Jersey and I'm now using it locally in Long Island, NY and New York City. Bought it with 91,000 miles and now I'm at 104,000 miles. Put a new battery and replace the front rims only. RUNS GREAT and I drove it to Boston at 90 mph. My friends were asking what year it was because it was so smooth and quiet. They couldn't believe it was a 2005 model. I told them it's one of the best cars ever made by Toyota besides the Corolla and Camry! In God we trust and in Toyota we also trust. What kind of oil do you recommend at my mileage of 104,000 miles... how long shall I change it a what miles, and can you recommend a good filter type/brand for it as well... Shall I replace the Timing Belt and water pump now as a preventive maintenance plan...?
For the oil viscosity, check the oil cap or the user manual. Change the oil every 5000 miles or once a year (whichever comes first). I would change the timing belt and water pump. They have interference engine.
So at 104,000 miles shall I continue with regular 5W-30 or shall I go to synthetic or full synthetic? Scotty mentioned in one of his videos about an older car started to leak/give problems by using synthetic...so he kept it at regular oil. I don't care about what brand to use, I just want to know if I should keep using regular 5W-30 or go to Full Synthetic on my 2005 Sienna?
