#421 of 596 Re: Accessory Drive Belt tensioner [kiawah] by jperez Jan 06, 2008 (3:24 pm)
Replying to: kiawah (Apr 28, 2007 7:08 am) Can you please email a copy of the picture of the tensioner. I am trying to replace the belt on a 02 2.4 litter engine and can seem to see how to losen the tension on the old belt.   Thanks Replies to this message: kiawah (Jan 07, 2008 8:24 am) jperez (Jan 07, 2008 6:29 pm)

Replying to: jperez (Jan 06, 2008 3:24 pm) The service manual doesn't have a real good picture with a wrench to show how to relieve the tension, so here's one from a Corolla. The Camry tensioner (although there a couple differen versions) is a little different from this picture in that the spring position is downward between the other two big pulleys, but the arm & spring concept is the same.   Most tensioner arms have some have a wrench point, which will either accept a 3/8" or 1/2" square drive (that a breaker bar, or rachet would fit), or a molded in bolt head (that you could put a socket or closed end wrench on). I prefer using a breaker bar as opposed to rachet, so you have control in both directions. You don't want the tensioner to snap back when you take the belt off, relax it gently.   2004 Corolla Tensioner Replies to this message: jperez (Jan 07, 2008 6:29 pm)

#424 of 596 Auto Transmission Oil Change-2007 by thomasj49 Jan 10, 2008 (3:32 am)
I was wondering if anyone knew the mileage necessary for this oil change in the auto tranny of the 2007? It's frustrating to call a few different dealerships and everyone tells you something different. Some have said before 30,000 - some have said 60,000 - some have said it needs a full flush, and some didn't. The last place I called I talked to two different advisers on different days and one told me every 60,000 and the other told me that oil shouldn't be touched until 100,000 miles and that it's supposed to be a long lasting type like the coolant. Anyone know exactly who's telling the truth? Replies to this message: kiawah (Jan 10, 2008 5:17 am)

Replying to: thomasj49 (Jan 10, 2008 3:32 am) If you read the Scheduled Maintenance Guide, which is a blue supplement you received with the owners manual......you will find that replacing the transmission fluid is not a required change. It needs to be inspected periodically to make sure the right level and color, and if there is a problem then replaced.   So following the guide would be a good idea.
#426 of 596 Re: Synthetic Oil [andee] by toy4life72 Mar 20, 2008 (5:42 am)
Replying to: andee (Nov 28, 2003 8:49 pm) I would suggest use non-synthetic oil. The reason is that the synthetic, and non form a kind of gel (bond) after a number of uses, which can cause a gunk bulid up and clog your oil pump. PS... Toyota has had a number of recalls on the V6 3.0L engine without the use synthetic... 5w-30 works just fine save your money....

#428 of 596 How often to change the cabin air filter? by lmacmil Mar 28, 2008 (12:41 pm)
I think the manual recommends 30K miles or 30 months. I changed mine at 20 months (only 15K miles) because it was filthy. Looked at it yesterday (only 8K miles since new) and it was pretty dirty again. I vacuumed out all the seeds and crud and put it back in. Not sure how quickly it turns gray.
