(Celica ST FYI) I've been in a hurry today for some odd reason and I've been pushing my oil change today later and later. Finally I've been able to change the oil around 8 pm. Unscrew the oil pan plug...let it leak....clean the plug and plug it back in. Remove the oil filter and put in a new one. Then fill the engine with four bottles of the 10w30 Castrol high mileage blend. Dropped it down and let her rip for five minutes. As I was taking her in reverse I notice a power change. Then putting her into drive I noticed that I was revving up to 4-5,000 rpms before she even moved.............?????Any clues.....

Omg! That's a good one! Your car's automatic? Looks like a transmission problem. Seems like the tranny's slipping before transmitting power! I think u better se a pro, in person, it's much easier. Anyway, check the atf level, just to make shure! Looks like u drain wrong thing here (tranny instead of engine)!! Pretty strange anyway
