Maintenance TechThis forum is for discussion of all aspects of maintenance that should be performed on the FJ Cruiser to keep it operating at maximum efficiency.
I've always read mixed reviews on RP (at my other turbo forum). I guess it's ok for the FJ, so I'll give it a go on my next oil change.. it's been sitting in my garage forever. I hope 10-40 isn't too thick. .hopefully it'll be ok, since it's been pretty hot lately.
been doing my own for years...will likely let Toyota do my first since it is included....but after that I will do the air filter, oil filter, oil, differential and everything else....
good luck and thanks for your service.....i just retired a couple years ago. sometimes I miss it...sometimes I dont....still proud of my service and those of you that continue to serve. God Bless.

I just changed over to Royal Purple for the front and rear diffs, transfer case and engine. I'll do the transmission next week. I bought the Royal Purple at Pep Boys.
To put the oil in the front diff I used a short length of clear tubing from Lowe's. Cost about 17 cents a foot. Put the spout of the bottle in one end and the other end in the fill hole and squeeze the bottle... Just call me Mr. Low Tech...
cheers,

I asked the mechanic where i work about RP, he said since i only have 100 miles on my FJ i should wait untill its 1st service or it wont run in the engine correctly, is this sound advice?
