Challenging common myths about Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy. Misconception: It's mind control. Truth: No — individuals stay completely conscious while in charge. Misconception: Only treats PTSD. Reality: Helpful in anxiety, low mood, phobias, plus many other issues. Misconception: cure-all. Truth: Strong though needs commitment. Misconception: Not backed by research. Truth: Robustly backed with research plus major bodies. EMDR is client-led and widely recommended. For real estate help?

I tend to run Morris Oils Versimax HD3 mineral oil, 20w-50. It's sold as an oil for diesel engines, but has been recommended and used by the FJOC here for over 3 decades (it was previously called Ringfree).

My experience of synthetic oil in my first FJ was not good. I used motorcycle specific Silkolene 10w-40 fully synthetic oil and within 50 miles my clutch started to slip under acceleration.

Fixing the oil and going back to 20w-50 mineral oil didn't help. I had to put in new clutch plates.

Ever since then resisted the temptation to go for "better" synthetic oil.

My current FJ has never had anything but mineral oil (Morris, or Yamalube 20w-50) in it and at 107,000 miles has never had any issues with clutch slip, or anything sense related to oil.

I'll just stick with what I know works.
