LEXIRX330 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 I am just wondering how many people on a regular basis actually check their air pressure in their tires. I know that I don't...when it is taken in for service they do it and other than that I guess I just rely on the air pressure indicator...I know that there are many benefits to keeping the tires properly inflated but I just never seem to get around to doing it. :chairshot: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LexKid630 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 If the tire "looks" low then i start to worry. LOL Other than that, i don't "check" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a few times of checking the pressure, The tires will take a # or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denslexusgx470 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 actually, i do have to admit that i don't check regularly but i should. usually the MOST significant time i would check, is after balance and rotation, if i got new tires, or if it looks kinda soft. ;) this is a good reminder. I checked the 4runner's psi, and the dealer put in like 11 more psi than what was recommended!!!!!!!!! :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 Rarely unless theres a leak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lenore Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 In light of todays gas prices keeping those tires up can effect mileage 5%. So air up gents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blake918 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 I'm really bad about checking the tires and fluids in my car. I get my tires rotated and balanced regularly, and they check the tire pressure, so I guess I'm ok in the end on that one! I might check the fluids once or twice a year, but I suppose that if I saw an oil slick or puddles of tranny fluid on the ground, I'd investigate it further!

SW03ES Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 That thing being as old as it is, you should check the oil once a month at least and try and track it. I would be surprised if that engine didn't use any oil. My ES uses some oil every once and a while and it only has 75k miles LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviej Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 I check them with every oil change which works out to be about every 2 months. you will lose about 1 lb per month and 1 lb for every 10 degree drop in temp (so I check monthly from Nov. to Feb). steviej Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The transmission/engine have no leaks (fixed all of them.), and I've never had to add any fluids in the past, so I guess that's why I'm not too concerned about checking it on a regular basis.
