Syn. Oil for 05 Camry and gas miles by asi12

I started to use Syn. Oil for my 05 camry (4 cyl) few months ago. I have noticed that my gas milages have increased about 30 miles with full tank.
  
I am using the same gas pump, no change in tire pressure, same toyota oil filters, same air filters or no more highway miles etc. Driving habits are the same as well.
  
Just wondering if someone also has the same experience. If this is true then Syn. Oil pays for itself.

You failed to indicate the age of the battery. If it's more than three years old, there's a very good chance of precipitated sulfates short circuiting at least one cell - especially if the electrolyte has been allowed to drop below the top of the plates through evaporation. (Many "maintenance free" batteries can be topped up with distilled water, however the Delco designs cannot. Most owners never bother, anyway.) For all practical purposes, when sulfation occurs, it's battery replacement time. Common battery chargers are not intended to deliver the current necessary to start the engine. There ARE heavy duty fast-chargers that can kick an engine to life, but they're large, on wheels, and typically only used by dealerships and mechanics because of their expense. You may be able to spin your engine to life by jumping from a running car engine with jumper cables. However, if you inadvertently short the cables before they're properly disconnected, you could well be on the hook for a new alternator. Don't ask me how I know...

HELP 1997 Transmission Problem by kblake

I have a 1997 Camry LE 4 cyl with a little over 150,000 miles on it. Never had any major trouble besides your normal maintenance until now! Lately the car has been jerking bad but only when the car reaches 50 to 60 miles/hour. Any time before or after that it does not do it. I took it to my Mechanic and he changed all the wires & spark plugs out. It stopped for a couple of days but then started again. I took it back and he told me that it looks like the spark plugs are burning a wierd color and can't figure out why this would happen. Any suggestion would greatly be appreciated.

And the relationship between burned sparkplugs and the car's transmission is?

03 Camry LE V6 by oracle_of_rock

Shortly after I bought my 03 Camry LE V6 (new), I noticed a loose-feeling in the steering. Sometimes in utters a low pitched clanking noise also; something that sounds similar to turning the steering wheel when the car is not moving. I've had it to the dealer several times and even a private alignment shop -- everyone claims the front end is tight and properly aligned. I never noticed this in my 00 Camry LE V6.
 
Anyone else experience this (problem)??
