Anyone know if there is any place I can get oil from, not a lot, just for a bypass oil filter. Typically oil pressure sender is chosen, but wondered if there is any other place. Many of the GM engines in trucks or HD applications (LT1's) have factory oil cooler lines fittings built into the...

So far with careful driving and 5w20 I am at 277 miles and just hit half tank..... Any chance you can see what European lexii recommend for oil?

Not sure if it will reveal anything, but strap a cell phone underhood recording video and see if you can see anything going on (don't leave in long, the heat will kill it!)

I would rather go with no bypass and keep it flowing good all the time, but would need dual gauges or something to monitor flow in/out to ensure no restriction. I guess it could be done! But this is my DD, so likely not going to. I haven't heard of Canton Mecca. I was thinking of what...

Are they good filters? I use Wix now, figured can't go wrong with Wix. Am wondering if I can use the big Ford filter, the FL1A (Wix 51515), it looks like it might fit in there.

I don't spend much time there, I am used to seeing the oil filter adapter on there, and mine isn't so nice looking! :) Looks sharp! I am looking at putting a bypass oil filter on and just exploring best ways to do it. Where did you get the adapter to the oil lines? Make it yourself or is...

What engine is this on? I have a 98 1UZ-FE, doesn't look familliar. Just wondering!

Anyone know on the 1UZ-FE is the oil filter bypass in the block or is it in the filter only? GM likes it in the block, I feel better and more reliable quality control there, being spin on filters you can get a wide range of quality and assembly, who knows if any good or not.....

Can't see the original thread, is it there?

Define bad mileage? I have a 98 GS4 (VVTi) and I get 19-23 mpg around town, and best of 29.4 and 30.3 mpg respectively on the highway. I drive sane, don't hesitate to WOT it anytime I need to pass someone. But I have NEVER got worse than 19 mpg yet, that is in the last 30,000 miles. I...

My GS4 (1UZ-FE) came with a small filter on it, this last change I put on the Wix 51516, the longer version, but when I was down there I noticed that it loks like a Wix 51515 might fit. That it the old Toy/old Ford big filter. Anyone ever use the bigger filter on a 1UZ-FE? I look at it this...

Someone said that in outside the US that 0W20/5W20 is NOT recommended in a Lexus, only in the US where the fuel economy is stricter is it the recommended oil. Anyone here from abroad that might know? I did put 5W20 in this last oil change, hp is up a little and hard to tell on fuel economy so...

Thats sorta what ford did on the A4LD to make the 5R55. They are just engaging od in gears. So the shift pattern is really: 1 1od 2 2od 3 3od Voila, a close ratio 6 speed....for almost nothing hardwarewise, just a trans controller.... Do that to the a650 and have a 8 speed.....

All controlled by the ECU as far as I know, it is an electrically control transmission. Maybe using a controller from a GS would be improved over the LS.

You always want to keep the car in balance, typical US spec cars are usually set to understeer before they get to oversteer. Adding too large rear bar can upset the balance and make it oversteer in a corner when not under power, which is very dangerous. But you do want to have enough rear bar...

The 4L80E/4L85E is a 4 speed auto. 4 = 4 Speeds L = Longitude 80 = Torque Class E = Electronic Controls (M = Manual, but very rare only done in 1991 or so) There is a 6L90E, but I expect it to be very very expensive. Then there is the Allison A1000 5/6 speed, but that is so big it...

In the US here large sports sedans will see upwards of a 38mm rear bar, which is pretty fat (Herb Adams). The key isn't just the thickness, it is the lever, the shorter the lever the stiffer the bar. My 80 Turbo Trans AM has the Rancho Challenger GTIII bars and they are adjustable ends, so I...

Anyone run a System 1 oil filter on a 1UZ-FE, 2UZ-FE or 3UZ-FE? Will it fit without mods or is there enough room around to spin it on or does it need to go remote? I am thinking of one for my 98 GS400 on the street and run a bypass filter for the really fine filtering.

Dead O2's would, the ECM would see lean and try to compensate and richen the heck out of it. Doctoring up fuel pressure will only make it drive worse. If you disconnect the O2's the ECM will fail the sensors and then go to values in the VE Tables. If you disconnect the MAF too, then it is...

I have run only synthetic for years, mainly due to the high temp abilities of the synthetic more than anything. And I found this:
