Toyota parts reviews

I own a 91’ fj80 land cruiser. I have limited options for OEM stuff these days due to the truck being 30+ years old. I’ve got a CSF radiator in mine because having my OE unit re-cored was $1000+ and the csf was ~450. Toyota new stock, unavailable. I use 555 rod ends and sumo brand rebuild kits, koyo bearings. OE suppliers for toyota without the dealer markup. They’re quick to get here and prices are competitive (i got a guy). As long as its pretty competitive and a known brand, i’ll gladly put aftermarket stuff in my toyota as long as it is of good quality. Rock auto has aisin and denso stuff for these trucks regularly. Been putting bosch brake pads on it since i got it, no issues there.

I ran the Sport R on my ES MR2 after V730. The wear was better, better feel all around and probably slightly faster

I use OEM filters on both, but I’ll use Wix filters if I’m not around the dealer.

I use Asia idemitsu cvt fluid. It’s cheaper. My car still runs good at 195k miles.

Fram filters have a lower micron count than other brands, thus why people say they are bad. I would not use them on high performance stuff, but on econoboxes i would. been using exclusively fram on my 2006 corolla since it was brand new and it has 250k miles and still going strong, however on my mustang i only use motorcraft.

The OEM Toyota brakes are made by Akebono, however, you can use a quality aftermarket set and you'll be fine.

My old Celica was at 11 years of daily on a Yellow Top, including at least 3x when it sat to dead and recharged just fine. When I got a new car and stopped driving it, it only lasted another 6 months of infrequent driving after that.

new air filter is in too.

I have Advan V701s on my mr2 and for a 300 treadware they've got a ton of dry grip but they definitely struggle in the wet

Don't even think the Autolite or Bosch last as long as Denso/NGK spark plugs.
