Thank you very much for the great idea!:)

Okay, so I went with Motul 8100 X-Max 0w40 at the end. It doesn't have the CF specification unfortunatelly (only SN), but has ACEA A3/B4. Every other option - available in my country - was worse, so.. If my engine explodes, it explodes.. I've been researching this topic for months, and couldn't...

Thank you for your detailed comments! I could get Motul oils (Xmax 0w40 for example), but Ravennol is a bit pricey here (around 18 USD / liter) at the only place I could get it from:( I'll try to find a german shop that ships it to Hungary maybe. Thanks once again

I kind of agree. The only issue is that here we have -10 in the winter and 40 in the summer. And I'm afraid that the 15w40 would do damage in the winter. 10w40 perhaps?

That's my problem. The books says 10w30, but that's not sold in my country.

Somebody please?

Thanks for all the responses. The issue didn't reaper yet, so I'm still hesitant about buying another accelerator assembly (they're not very cheap). Right now I'm hoping it was just a particle of dust sticked to one of the sensors/switches that cleared itself:)

How long did the fix last?

Hi! My 2000 LC has developed an issue. Today after the walking the dogs & going home it throw a check engine light and went into limp mode. I've tried to shut down / restart the car, but the issue was still there. When I got home I've read the codes with TS, and this is what came up: After...

Hello! I've cleaned the intake manifold & replaced its gaskets some 10k kms ago. During that process I've also replaced al injector pipes and pipe clamps for new ones. Now nr3 injector has a light oil mist on the pipe right at the injector. I was wondering if it was worth touching it, and if...

Hi All! For the past 8k km's I was using Castrol Edge 5w30 C3 in the 100 (1HD-FTE). I liked it, but perhaps there is better, especially for the summer months as winters don't really go below -10 anymore here:) I feel like it gets a bit too thin in the summer heat. Was wondering if a 0w40 would...

So I've been using my cruiser @100kmh, because it drives well & I get good mileage. But it's a PITA on long (5-600km) highway trips. I've tried 130kmh, but it felt unstable & the engine was a bit on the loud side. The car has around 500k kms in it. Is it safe/possible/etc. to drive these at...

Haha:)) Yeah, I've also remember something about the IC pipes.. But then it's probably easier to drop the skid and crawl under:( Merry Xmas:)

Hello! 1hd-fte with aircon and viscous heater Is there a way to tighten the v-belt(s) (that runs the alternator) from above? I can do it from below, but I'm too lazy to pull the skid plate & lay under the car into the snow. And if there is, what's the trick to it? I just can't seem to get a...
