I agree with you that the AA, AAA, C, D, and 9V size name brand batteries, i.e., Duracell, Energizer, are better quality than the Dollar Tree batteries. There have been test comparisons between them, and the Dollar Tree batteries have less stored energy. I would not buy those batteries.
I have seen no test comparisons between the Dollar Tree's lithium CR batteries and others.
I have purchased these before and have had good results with them in low drain devices, like key fobs.

Installed VLEDs V6 Triton 921 in the reverse lights. Had to wait for them to make new gaskets as for some odd reason, Subaru/Toyota's 921 aperture is larger than normal, but not as large as "large" 921 apertures.

First track day with my son. Had a blast. Car ran great. Best day I've had in a long time

Had alignment done. Maxed out the stock rear toe arms at on the passenger side at -1.9°. any less and it toes out.

LR toe was zeroed after photo taken.

Came across my FT86 club stickers while cleaning up

Installed heated seat kit in my car, along with an alcantara-wrapped center console.

Replaced my transmission/transaxle oil with 4L of Motul Gear 300. Drives like BUTTAH now.

I picked mine up from the smash repair place today, after hitting a kangaroo �� before Christmas. New bumper, grill, left headlight, left fog light, left guard, dash!, steering wheel...

It smells like a new car!

I’m actually pretty happy - they’ve done quite a nice job. They resprayed the bonnet, right guard and blended on the doors. All my stone chips from the last 75,000km are gone.

suzyj · 01-23-2021, 03:03 AM

75,000km, so in goes new oil (5W30 Mobil 1), new oil filter (oem), new air cleaner (K&N) and new cabin filter (Repco). This is the first official service I’ve done myself, as the first 4 were subsidised by Toyota, so I let the stealer do them.

I fit my Fumoto drain valve while the oil was out. It’s cool, and I can’t wait to use it in anger on the next change.

oem oil is supposed to be 0W-20

Sewing It's been a learning curve for sure but I'm okay with the results so far. I have to fit the e-brake boot tomorrow which requires grinding/sanding some of the internal plastic structure away. This material is a bit thicker than OEM.
