I also get some kind of vibrating when sitting at a stop light with my foot on the brake. If i have it in park then i don't hear it at all. It sounds like something is rattling or loose in the engine area.

Do you guys have lightened or underdrive crank pulleys?
Does the noise stop when you depress the clutch (in case your car is equipped with a manual transmission)?

There are MILLIONS of Japanese cars running American oil with NO PROBLEMS, NO BREAKDOWNS, NO WORRIES. You say "...you'll get a pile of stinking junk in a few thousand miles...". What outright lies, and deception. Other posters, be worry of this guy! |

He used to use the handle "grumpyfromNH". He's relabeled himself. Same guy, same TIRED old rant....
Until I bought my Yaris and learned a LOT here about oil filters, I ALWAYS used orange Fram brand filters. Guess what? Never lost an engine. ALSO, I would buy the cheap PepBoys Pro Line oil! Go figure... Welcome back , Grumpy

Mine does the same thing when I'm stopped after the motor is warmed up. The idle drops really low and it kind of shudders. I have heard the ECU makes that motor do that intentionally for fueal economy reasons.

Well if you blew over 6 engines in ten years using the "best" american oils and OEM filter how would U feel about the subject. No american major brands labeled synthetic are synthetic. Period. My wifes previously wonderful rav 4 is DEAD in 3 years with only 67K miles using TOYOTA THAI denso filters and genuine toyota oil and Mobil 5000. F this. IDK if you blow you motor. Go ahead. No skin off MY teeth (= <

Does anyones idle go down a little bit then come back up when they turn on things like the rear defrost, turn the blower on, etc?

You can blame the Toyota service center and their Genuine parts – that’s what was used on my wife’s Rav-4. So i guess the Toyota Dealer does a poor job maintaining my cars in my area ... OR its the downrated US API/ILSACGF4 oil that Porsche, Audi, BMW, VW do not allow anywhere near their vehicles ... I saved my Yaris from the brink with Motul 8100 and WIX

The cars are parked outside and get many a 10 deg F cold start in the Winter. Sometimes -15 F. That can't help.

Grampy, you blew that many motors? This says more about YOU then the oil. There are MILLIONS that have not blown so many oils, and they use the "cheap" American brands too. I would suggest pouring the oil into the valve cover and not the exhaust pipe. It don't get into the engine from the exhaust pipe, I promise! |
