    Be mindful of the supercharger oil in these. Most shops/mechanics don’t even realize there is an oil reservoir dedicated to the supercharger oil and running the level low can do some damage.

    • @roochiecooch
      @roochiecooch Před 5 lety +22

      The oil is basically the same as gear diff oil. Like a 75w-90. On my 97 Previa SC at least there was no reservoir, just a drain bolt and small 1/2" maybe 3/4" sized yellow fill cap directly on the side of the supercharger. I used to change it myself about every 15,000 miles since gear oil is much longer lived than engine oil.

    I have a '95 Previa S/C that I bought new in 1995. 202, 000+ miles and still going strong. I am a trek fan too, license plate holder states "Star Trek Fan Forever, ST/OS, ST/NG, ST/VG and ST/DS9" This van has cost me very little to maintain, except of course the A/C that had to be overhauled last month after all these years. What Hoovie failed to mention was the versatility of the configuration he has. Despite the fold up rear seats, with the middle seat out you can carry 10 - 12 4x8 sheets of drywall or plywood, flat on the floor and still close the rear hatch.... Who needs a pickup of truck if you have a Previa!

Great for camping, hauling work tools or carrying 6 kids to school. Mum bought a new Tarago about 10 years ago, we still use the old wombat as a backup car.

    3.)you go out of your way to find ridiculous cars and spend your money to entertain us, the viewers.
    4.)while you do take sponsorships (nothing wrong with that) you don't normally do 2+minutes per video of sponsors like some creators.
    5.)you actually acknowledged your success and your new house, and thanked us, the people who consume your content for the reason you can do what you love. You never see a lot of big creators actually thanking the fans for things like this, and it was nice to see.

      I had a car with the weak head gasket problem. If I hit traffic it could overheat and blow the gasket. So I fitted a switch inside the car and ran the wires to the electric fan thermostat in the radiator.
      As soon as I hit traffic I'd switch on the fan and the engine never got hot so it never blew the gasket again.

    I learned how to drive in a Toyota Previa, which was lovingly designated "the toaster on wheels". It's practically a moving van you can put so much stuff in it. Also is quite possibly the #1 easiest vehicle to parallel park of all time. Seriously. Try it. The van got old and rusty and was dying of old age, and was sold for peanuts. The new owner completely restored it, and it can still be seen driving around town from time to time.
