Blinker Fluid

Haven't seen a blinker fluid thread recently. Everybody change over to summer fluid because of the heat?

 

If not here is a vid on how too.

Went to synthetic this year, trying to get to extended change intervals.

 

I think a lot of model vehicles now a days don't come with blinkers so there is no need to change anything...

 

I flushed mine back in May when I had the canooter valve replaced with a stiffer spring option. Amazing how fast the dual filament bulbs break the fluid down,

 

I just top mine off along with shooting some grease on the muffler bearings when I'm doing an oil change.

 

Wish it was easier on 1st gens. It's always such a bitch to do.

 

I switch over to 0W-00 in summer for better flow. And I changed my Oscillator Pump, High Beam fluid and Muffler Bearings at the same time!

 

I moved my fill valve up beside the radiator fluid.. that way i can fill them both at the same time to the top. Changed out my Coolant with water so that i wont have to do it in the winter to keep the temp down. Changed my 710 to olive oil because im trying to be more environmentally friendly, and My muffler bearing needed to be greased. I used some 1W-90 elbow grease on it this time. My AC was running a little warms so i changed that over to 2/55 AC. Nice and cool now.. I think thats all the Tuneups i did for the season

 

If I have LED blinkers, do I need to use a lighter weight of blinker fluid?

 

Should switch to avocado or grape seed oil. Higher smoke point so it'll let you run at hotter temps like we've had in the summer.

 

Changing your 710 to olive is genius! I seem to have misplaced my 710 cap, is there a good place to get one cheap?

and its chrome plated

 

I always heard that LED's require 0 or 5w because they run cooler than reqular bulbs.
Synthetic or conventional, either will be fine.

 

Ahhh i didnt think about that.. ill have to do that next time

 

Guys, I have a sport and think my blinker fluid was underfilled from factory. Luckily I got the extended warranty in case they fail prematurely.

 

Does anyone trust their blinkers to a blinker fluid that isn't genuine certified Toyota Blinker fluid? I'm thinking about taking the plunge because other blinker fluids are so much cheaper. I fear that my blinkers won't perform as well, if I use an inferior product.

 

Toyota or shit'll break.

 

This thread has greatly advanced me in my quest of life
