Replying to: steve_ (Oct 01, 2009 8:53 am) Simple re-refining or re-refining with the "proper" additives...?? Or even the "coffee filter" method..??

In bulk, they're probably only a couple of bucks for a quick lube place or dealer. I still do my own, but I'd be hard pressed to get the oil and filter for $13 without searching out a sale.

My highlander is using 1 litre of oil to 700miles and only at highway speeds. The dealership pulled off the valve cover and said there is no sludge build up, they suggested we replace the valve covers (which have the PVC system incorporated into the cover). Their tech says this could solve the problem. Has anyone had this done and what was the result after the repair???

| Heading into the 6th winter on our 2004 Higlander V6. No indication of any problems but the Consumer Reports I just got had an article on batteries which got me wondering. How many Highlander owners have replaced their batteries and did you it because it failed or because it was old and you didn't want to take a chance? | |
