Car always has to change oil every 3 months? (My car is 4 runner 2005)?


If you don’t drive enough miles to change your oil by mileage, then I would recommend twice per year, once at the beginning of winter, and once at the end of winter. Winter is particularly hard on engines and oil, since people tend to drive more, drive shorter distances, idle a lot, and may rarely get the engine to operating temperature for extended periods. Cold starts are the worst, cold idling is nearly as bad. So, starting winter with good oil is important, then change the oil at the end of winter to get all the sludge and buildup out.

Of course, as others have mentioned, follow whatever your manual tells you, I expect it is 7500 miles or 6 months. If it says once per year, I would change the oil right at the beginning of winter, for reasons stated above…but they won’t void your warranty if you change the oil more often than the recommended minimum.

Last bit, always change the oil hot, so it evaporates all the water, and picks up all the sludge so it will drain out. A good 30 minute drive at a minimum, a full hour is better, before an oil change. Do this and you should never need to "flush" your engine.

How long does it usually take for all the runners to cross the starting line of the chicago half marathon?

Im training for the half marathon and Im a bit behind the time I have to be at, to not be picked up by the sag wagon. I’m trying to find out how long it usually takes all the runners to cross the starting line so I know if i need to position myself near the middle of the pack(so i can average a little bit extra time) or if i should just go to the back.

I was so far back I didn’t even hear the gun go off, I think it took something like a half hour.

When the Bush White House signed off on Project Gun-Runner back in 2005, did anyone bother to consider the?

full ramifications of the program if things started to go terribly wrong? Or should we just write this off as just one more example of a Bush/Cheney era Republican policy that has gone horribly wrong?

Will Republicans ever admit the failures of their leadership or will they just point fingers like spoiled children and try to pretend that whole operation was purely the product of the Obama administration?

It started in the Bush years…

Toyota 4 runner 2005 automatic Not sure when to use different gears 4D ect. .-?

Our older 4 runner had an overdrive button. All I see is the 4-D on gear shift. When would I use the other selections. Like 3 2 ect.

you would only use the lower gears when towing a heavy load. Sometimes going up a hill towing a heavy trailer it is advisable to manually change down to 3rd or even 2nd gear and limit the gear changing. When going down a steep slope and you want to limit the speed of the vehicle then manually change down into 2nd or 3rd. Then vehicle will only go as fast as the gearbox allows the engine to turn. Very steep slopes may call for use of 1st gear low range; basically the car will idle down the slope and you can keep better control of the rate of descent. hope this helps.

what would be the square ft measurement of a 36ft x 6ft hallway linoleum runner?


To figure out your square footage, take the width times the lenght. 36X6=216 square feet should do it.

Do you have to be a fast runner to make a high school volleyball team? why would they look at running?

Last year i got put on JV for…basically the things besides my volleyball skills (i.e. running and stairs) my mile was 9 minutes but i dont understand why thats a key factor. And no, it wasnt because i suck at volleyball.

That’s seems strange to me, but my best guess is that people who are faster off the line will be more likely to get to the ball consistently. Maybe that’s their reasoning? I especially have a hard time understanding why your mile would even remotely be a factor seeing how you only run a few feet at a time in VB. Maybe your coach can explain in better detail. Just ask them I’m sure they’d be glad to explain.

what type of rug pad to use under stair runner?

The rug I am using for the stair runner is persian-like and "plush" (so cut pile). I recently had other wall to wall carpeting installed and was going to use the left-over carpet pad, but it just looks too thick! I am afraid it will give a "bubble" look. Is there a protocol?

If you get an istaller then have them bring samples – dont spend lots of money on the pad – it is simply not that important (just find something that will give you the level of thickness you desire and dont let them talk you into something expensive). If you are doing it yourself then something like: http://www.amazon.com/Runner-Underlay-Ultra-Grade-Rubber/dp/B002ZQAA2U should do the trick!

Hope I was able to help,

Omri
