    I would (& do). A full UCL bottle every 5th fill up and P.I. (only 2 or 4 ounces) every 4k or 5k miles.
    Add them to tank before filling so that the filling swirl will mix them in thoroughly.
    You can stretch the intervals and still fall in the "regularly" category.

    The older / higher milage vehicles will see a better benefit from using them than newer ones. Especially P.I.

    (I have heard that SeaFoam can erode some fuel injectors. Wouldn't use that very often - or at all.)

    Yes. Gear oils and MTF's v. motor oils viscosity "labels" can be about at clear as mud because the are on different charts - so called so people don't confuse the two.

    75W range is very close and mostly overlaps 5W-30 viscosity range, 5W-30 slightly more viscous at 100°C. Plus the MTF offers excellent gear protection for the TC. Functions great.

    BG would like to have a chat, their MOA oil additive (to be added with an oil change so you don't overfill) is lab and field proven. And they'll warranty it.

    It really depends, but if you're going to do a fuel additive I recommend the advice in this thread with getting some super high quality stuff like BG44k. Pretty much anything you'll find in a gas station and even a parts store is basically just white gas and a bottle. They can advertise it as a cleaner because it does burn cleaner than gas filled with other junk but.... It's not really doing a whole lot of extra.

    Agreed on both accounts, regular is the key, and seafoam is strong.... Enough to mess things up.

    I think dimple has gone out of business. I ordered some magnets from them over a month ago and havent heard a peep or received anything. Tried emailing, calling and texting and got nothing.

    Pay Pal already refunded me my money.

    Anybody got the scoop on dimple?

    If PayPal refunded you and you've heard nothing from them, I think it's a safe bet that they are done for. Unfortunately

    Sounds about right. If anyone has an alternative to dimple, i'm all ears. I was hoping to switch out that dreaded front diff drain plug. So far have gotten lucky with the threads but I dont know how much longer my luck will last.

    I've never had a problem with them, even working on neglected customers trucks.

    Still a dumb design from Toyota
