oil change--tips and tricks 200 1985

"And now I'll read the other 25+ responses..."

You done pretty good....'cept the adjustable wrench quip (newhire socket set)

I gotta tell you I have a few of 'em....I never have had the touch...the things scare me when I need to bear down....but then again I don't really even like open end wrenches!

I never mention that my car holds almost 6 quarts now, for whatever that's worth...just confuses the new folks.

I just changed the oil in the SR5 yesterday - first time in almost 2 years(yikes) - maybe 5000 miles. Put series 2000 20W-50 in it - those noisy valves went silent. Japanese vehicles pre 1990 really call for just about any SAE viscosity to work within normal human living conditions...I had 10W-30 in it before.
