Replying to: mcdawgg (Oct 31, 2009 4:44 pm) The reason I've always changed oil myself is to ensure it's done right. All dealers use entry-level staff for oil and lube work, sometimes these are high school kids working in a co-op work/study plan. Line mechanics do not change oil at dealerships. Here's the problem I've observed in the past: 1). the sump is quite often overfilled, and 2). the drain plug is over or under torqued. The latter is especially critical when a car has a cast aluminum oil sump. Over torquing the drain plug can crack the sump. Each car has a specified torque spec for the oil drain plug - how many lube specialists at dealers actually use a torque wrench for the oil drain plug. I'll betcha practically zero percent. And, over filling the sump is really harmful, as it leads to oil foaming, with a resultant reduction of lubrication especially in the critical areas of crankshaft main bearings, rod bearings, etc. This is why I continue to deal with the hassle of DIY oil/filter changes. |

CR complains this month that the interior dooe pull/grab handle of the Camry is bothering consumers since the 2006 design. I have never seen someone complaining about it (maybe i missed out somewhere), I personal thing it's a good design. Do anyone here think it needs to be changed?

Anyone care to recommend where the Toyota Extended Service Plans can be purchased other than the selling dealer? Any places on line with decent pricing? Just picked up a '10 Camry LE 4cyl. w/ auto. and considering (possibly) a Platinum or Gold service agreeement. |

Replying to: pixshooter (Nov 02, 2009 4:14 pm) You pull the original mat's, and put these down in their place. They clip right on to the driver side 'clips', which prevents them from floating around. They work great, have had them in our Camry for 3.5 years now. Even in the clay area we're in, they are great!

Replying to: kiawah (Nov 02, 2009 4:41 pm) I had to get the mats because the car already had them and they claimed the mats could not be removed. I was stuck w/the mats and an upgraded radio or wait another month for a car without these items. At the time (Oct. 1) I was leaving in a week for vacation but it was delayed until tomorrow. I do look forward to the XM radio during my trip.

Replying to: pixshooter (Nov 02, 2009 5:11 pm) Let me give you my first-hand experience - I have an 07 Camry with the recalled All-Weather mats. They were recalled because a few people decided to ignore the directions are not use the hooks and/or stack mats on top of one another. Guess what? I am STILL using the recalled All-Weather mats, and in 3 years, they have NEVER moved. My mechanic said the same thing as me. The WeatherTech mats come with all kinds of directions and warnings to use the hooks and don't use more than one mat. Sounds just like the Toyota owner's manual.  Anyway, just use you mats as per the directions and don't worry about it. Enjoy your car and your trip! |
