Fair enough.

So would a fuel filter be a good idea? I mean it couldn’t hurt anything, could it?

Aren’t women crazy? I can’t believe she wanted to get her oil changed at walmart instead of me doing it. It’s not that hard. It’s just a 2010 Toyota Camry after all. It’s not like it’s an Audi or something, where the only way to get the oil out is through the dipstick tube. Or another type of car that doesn’t even have an oil dipstick

I do sometimes, but not a lot. And when I do, it’s always when I’m waiting on the better half to get ready 😆

I might toss a fuel filter at it, idk if it’s ever been changed and it’s got 202,000 miles on it

How big of an affect would a high idle at startup have on fuel economy? I define high idle as 1,500 to 2,500 RPMs at startup, then going down to about 1,000

O2 sensor went bad a few thousand miles ago, replaced it myself.

I’ve used Lucas and SeaFoam in the tank, in the oil, and through the brake booster vac line (not Lucas obviously lol)

Measure how much came out, put it in quart bottles or a gallon bottle, and put that amount back in

My car, a 1990 Buick Century 3.3L V6, calls for 10W-30. If I use 0W-20 would that be a problem?

My old mechanic, who I don’t go to anymore, said for me to protect the engine best, use 85W-150 gear oil. I said hell no and left.
