This does seem to fit the filter. However the tool end is slightly smaller than the original Toyota part, so the filter cap tool was sliding on it. I could not find a matching size filter cap tool in any of the local stores. So I had to use creative solution had to put a tape around it... Frustrating why is it soo difficult in the 21st century to have a spare part and (supposedly matching) tool sized right....

Perfect fit for the OEM oil filter cap on my 2010 Toyota Corolla. I busted my original cap when removing it during a routine oil change. I bought this and it was the perfect replacement. I also (separately) bought the oil cap removal tool so I won't be breaking this again.

Honest reviews on Dorman 917-039 Oil Filter Cap

What can I say? Toyota really flopped with designing the filter housing like this. The cap/housing has a tendency to get brittle and crack around the edges under the stresses and heat of everyday driving. I'm glad I was able to find this replacement here instead of having to go to the dealer to replace it. Same with the cup/wrench. You just can't find these things at regular auto parts stores.

Works Great, Just Like The Factory. NTB Oil Guys BrokeThe Original Because They Did Not Have The Proper Wrench. Got The Wrench On Amazon And This New Cap And Now I Am Changing The Oil. Works Great.

"BMW Approved vs Exceed BMW Specifications"

Two words in particular are often listed on oil packaging-"approved" and "exceeds"-and it's critical you differentiate between the two. While both sound good, the former is more important, since it indicates your oil has been approved for use in your vehicle by the vehicle manufacturer and will keep your warranty intact. For example, Pennzoil Ultra Euro 5W-40 carries a BMW LL-04 approval rating. This means Pennzoil sent its oil to BMW, and BMW rigorously tested it to ensure that it meets requirements for stability, drain intervals, longevity, wear, emissions, and so on.

"Exceeds," on the other hand, is simply an oil manufacturer's claim and doesn't necessarily indicate any real basis of comparison as to what it exceeds. When an oil brand claims it "exceeds manufacturers specifications," that's simply the oil manufacturer's opinion and not necessarily the vehicle manufacturer's. Think about it-would you really think if the product was sent to BMW to be tested that BMW would sent a letter back stating, "We're sorry, but this oil is just too good and exceeds all of our specifications so we can't give you approval"?

According to BMW documents, they suggest that LL-04 oil should only be used in Europe due to th low sulfur content of diesel and petro. US fuel (even top tier gasoline) has too much sulfur. For all modern BMW engine (minus the ///m motorsport engines) u must use ll-01 approved oil like Pennzoil 5w40.

Here are some of the specs for this oil from Pennzoil/shell documents:

Approval:

-MB 229.51

-VW 504 00 and VW 507 00

Oils meeting VW spec 507 are few and far between. I had this oil analyzed (along with the VW Dealer sold Castrol SLX), and this oil has a stronger base stock & additive pack. Won't disappoint.

I use this in the 03 regal with 150K on the motor. I started using this product about a year ago and I change my oil every three months which is over kill for this oil but I want to try and get every mile I can out of this car and the car is still running great and there is no reason that I can see at this point that I wont be going over 200K easy on the car. This oil comes out nice and dark every time meaning it is doing its job by suspending the dirt and crud so it's not building up in the motor. Car purrs so nice after each oil change you can tell things are nice and slick inside.

What's really important is what is on the bottle.

"Pennzoil Ultra Euro L SAE 5W-30 is suitable for the following applications:

Suitable for fuel-injected gasoline and diesel engines fitted with blow-by recirculation and catalytic converters operating in extreme driving conditions.

Also suitable for turbo-charged and intercooled direct injection high performance diesel engines fitted with blow-by recirculation and exhaust gas recirculation without particulate filters.

Compatible with engine seals, other synthetic oils, and all conventional oils."

"Pennzoil Ultra Euro L SAE 5W-30 meets or exceeds the requirements of the following industry specifications: ACEA A3/B3/B4, ACEA C2 & C3,BMW LL-04, MB approval 229.51, VW 504 00/507 00, Chrysler MS-11106"

I purchased this oil for use in a 2010 VW Jetta Sportwagen TDI based mainly on price, availability, and meeting VW 507 specifications. I have also typically used Pennzoil products in the past hough this didn't really have as much of an affect on my decision. Though the bottle claims it is for use in diesel vehicles without particulate filters their website says this is the oil to use if your vehicle has a particulate filter. I took comfort in seeing the 507 on the bottle though. I also did plenty of research on oils for my application, and I recommend everyone does as well rather than reading reviews stating a particular oil made their car "run smoother" or that it will "increase power." Bob is the oil guy dot com is an amazing resource, use it. This oil is not meant to be used in your buick, so don't waste your money on it. Go to wally world and buy a 5 quart jug of plain Pennzoil Ultra if you want the best Pennzoil has for that application, it will cost half as much and is actually a much more robust oil. If your vehicle requires one of the above specifications this oil is a good choice, otherwise you may be better off looking elsewhere.

As all of you TDI owners already know, getting oils meeting VW 507 00 spec can be challenging. I have a 2009 Jetta TDI and had used Mobil 1 ESP 90%+ of the time. No problems with the Mobil 1 but the last I bought was around $13 a bottle plus tax. Pennzoil was around $9 a quart delivered to the house and it has worked great so far. Again, not knocking the Mobil 1 but I can't justify the price difference. Good oil and I will definitely be buying more of it.

Had oil leaking from rear main seal in '03 Maxima and got 5 estimates to replace in the $700 to $950 price range. $42 part and the rest was labor. One mechanic suggested I try AT 205 first so I stopped by his shop and bought a bottle. I don't like using any engine additives but he said he used it in one of his high mileage personal cars with good results. Poured it in and over night the leak was gone. That was 3 weeks ago and no more oil spot in the driveway...

I put the 8 ounces bottle into car engine and it helps. There is an acceptable itsy bitsy leak left. You can watch "Fixing Oil Seal Leaks Fast" video on YouTube by scottykilmer. You need 8 ounces for car engine or transmission usage, and 3 ounces for power steering. I am going to order more for power steering and transmission usage.

Petroleum distillate rubber conditioners will temporarily soften rubber seals, then turn them to mush over time. Not AT-205 Re-Seal! I've used this in two motorcycles (31 and 27 years old), as well as two cars (a 1996, and a 2003), over two years ago, as a preventative measure. No problems, no issues, other than it helped eliminate one oil leak. I originally found this product in an auto-parts store, for around $7 more than I paid here (minus S/H). Even with the postage fees, this came out to be $6 less, per bottle, ordering three at a time, than I would have paid buying it semi-locally (had to drive to a neighboring town, 40 miles away -no one locally carries it).

This stuff is non-toxic, and it is NOT made from petroleum. I don't know what is made from, but I know it works, as described. I recently had an O-ring that was shrunken, and leaking oil, on one of my motorcycles (previous treatments didn't reach this part which is more external). I traced the leak to the proper O-ring, cleaned off the oil from it, and then I wetted it with AT-205, using a paper towel soaked with it. I waited 20 minutes, then I put the O-ring back in place, and secured the part into place. I ran the engine for 10 minutes, without any signs of a leak. I then let the motorcycle sit overnight, and 5+ days later: no leaks, it is completely dry, where before, I would find oil pooled beneath the side-stand, in my garage.

I am now using it in both motorcycles' crankcases, as well as both cars' crankcases, and both automatic transmissions. I don't have any leaks, but I want to keep it that way! I would recommend this product to anyone. It is safe, and it is effective. Cheers!

Honest reviews on ATP AT-205 Re-Seal Stops Leaks, 8 Ounce Bottle

I have a 1994 Hyundai Scoupe that I use for short trips around town and back and forth to work. My old friend sprung a leak from the rear main seal that was DRAINING oil at approximately a quart in 15-20 minutes with the car running. I took it to a garage and they wanted more money to fix it than the car is worth. The first day I used AT-205 and ran the car for an hour and a half the leak stopped. However, the next time I started the car to run it for a another hour or so the leaked returned so it appears that AT-205 was only a short term fix. The bottle says it takes 5 hours to seal a rear main leak so I may run it for another hour or two and see what happens. All in all, it's still worth $10 to try as long as you buy it with the understanding that it is not going to fix a completely damaged or crumbled seal. I may take another reviewers advice and try a second bottle since the leak did stop after the first bottle but later returned.

Update (12/31): I was on my way to bring my car to a garage for repairs. Before going I refilled my oil with the oil / AT-205 that leaked out the second time I started the car after adding AT-205. On my way there I decided to pull over and look for a leak. To my amazement, the once gushing leak from the rear main seal was reduced to a mere drop at a very, very slow rate. I noted one review said it took almost three weeks for their leak to completely stop so I'll continue to drive the car and update accordingly. At this point I would have to say the AT-205 actually works. My car's oil leak was about a quart every 15 minutes and as of today has been reduced to a mere drop every 10-15 minutes.

Update (1/1): The leak returned. The car is in the garage for a rear main seal replacement costing $400. Do I regret buying AT-205? No. While it seemed to work at first I don't think any gasket conditioner will completely repair a badly damaged gasket or seal. However, IMO it is worth taking a chance on AT-205 prior to spending hundreds of dollars on seal replacements. I do believe most (not all) of the reviews on Amazon are from real people who have actually used the product and based on the mostly positive review of AT-205 I would recommend at least taking a chance that it may work for you.

As stated by other reviewers, results CAN vary. I have used it in the power steering system of a 91 Sable with mixed results. Over time, the leak came back-but putting a little more treatment did slow/stop the leak. I have no problem putting more in in the future. The seals between the pump & plastic reservoir was the issue-even though it was replaced.

I have also used this in an old 79 Pinto engine. The leak did slow down & I was happy with the results.

Keep in mind that this product reconditions GOOD seals. If there is a nick or damage to the seal, it will not work. Also, if the shaft is grooved (seal running in groove) it will not work. Basically, if the seal is cracked, sorry...it should be replaced.

People have to realize that after two applications of this product, if the leak does not improve/stop, there is damage to the seal/sealing surface. A "fix in a bottle" will not work. It is not a cure all.

Good luck!

Motul Factory Line 300 V/4T Competition Synthetic Oil - 5W40 - 1L Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I've used Motul 300V in my 75cc 4T scooter. It works well and does the job however, it only seems to do so once my scooter is hot as in, i've been riding around for 20 minutes. It makes my little bike a bit sluggish at first but once in that nice hot state, she runs excellently and allows for a higher top speed than when using petroleum based oil. 300V keeps it's viscosity for quite a while longer than Mobil 1 and definitely a LOT longer than any dino-oil.

Motul 300V is however, a bit more expensive than Mobil 1 and other brands but that is because it is just better. Are there better lubes? Sure but there are also different circumstances. Any oil will do the job. Motul 300V does it a little better.

I had this filter on a Long tractor model 510. I got long service life from it since it had been on the tractor for a few years. I certainly don't recommend leaving it in service for that long a time, but circumstances beyond my control dictated this. All in all, it did its job effectively. This filter is meant to have a longer change interval so I pushed it to it's limits. I would not hesitate to put this filter on my tractor again. I couldn't find this filter locally so I had to go with another brand. Should have checked Amazon first I guess.
