Cool, sounds like you've got a handle on it. I'd give it another dose right after this one for good measure.

Do you have access to an OBD 2 scanner with live data? If your mileage dosn't improve after the injecter cleaning it would be worth having someone look at the O2 sensors in real time and make sure they are still "up to snuff". They have certainly served you well up to this point and are far beyond their designed life expectancy :)

I thought I heard somewhere you use the Super Tech syn oil from Walmart and OEM Toyota filters at 5k mi intervals-is this true? Whatever you're using this is a great show! I realize you put the miles on quickly but considering the number of miles this is an extremely impressive display of reliability.

TIA

That obd2 idea is a good idea. I would definitely look into doin that.

Yes, I only use Wal-mart Super-Tech synthetic oil. Actually, when I now bought my car, fortunately for me, Big Lots had Marvel oil stabilizer and STP oil stabilizer in stock. So, I bought all that was in stock. I used 1qt every 5K miles with 3qts of Super-Tech oil. They lasted me until 200K miles. So, for the past 150K miles I have been using 4qts of pure Super-Tech oil.

thanx!
