    Just had my Power Steering and Transmission fluid changed at the dealer. Found this loose under the hood when I got home. Anybody know what it is? Seems like it has oil on it...

    ^ Agreed, dealer techs would appreciate it if you drop by and bring it back, just give it to one of the techs, service advisors wont know what it is and may throw it away.

    I found a Snap-on torque wrench under my hood from the last dealer service. It didn't drop into the serpentine belt and take out an bunch of shit, and I figured I had to go back 4x for the tranny service. I kept it.:luvya::anonymous:

    Thanks guys. Appreciate the experience. Glad it was not part if the vehicle that got left off. Getting back to the tech may be a challenge as it’s a large Toyota dealer...
