Yup. Three years ago we bought the Sienna specifically because it was the only van available with AWD. 72,300 miles later we find out that the factory underfilled the differential which caused it to blow up prematurely. No sign of leaks ever, but no oil in the case when the dealer pulled the plug.

Haha, every once in awhile.

We got a flurry this morning, but it wasn't even a dusting. Looking forward to snow, but not looking forward to the heating oil bill!

Morning all.
What is fluid film? Is there a brand name?
I assume it's for the salt and spray they use on the roads.

Fluid Film, AKA Liquid Awesome.

Fluid Film® | Corrosion Preventative, Lubricant and Rust Inhibitor

Lanolin-based protectant that can be sprayed just about anywhere. It's not permanent so you don't have to worry about overspray, but it will last an entire winter and protect against rust. I've used it over the last few years and HIGHLY recommend it.

Tom,
Are you going to put a lift and some mud tires on the Toyota for winter?

IIRC your driveway was a challenge for the Expy.

But it did help Jim.

I am going to spray all my vehicles this weekend with Fluid Film to get ready or the crap on the roads.
They are saying maybe a mix mid next week.

Have my fluid film in the garage and ready to spray Sunday. The Patriots buy week comes just in time this year
