Recent issues with Gas Mileage!!

almost 39k, I bought it from the dealer with 36k and some change on it.

 

I would hope that they changed the plugs...But I would check them anyway. It's cheap and pretty easy to do. I would also check the air filter.

 

Thanks for the advice I'll have to check them when I get back from the xmas stuff!

 

Tire pressure might be low as well.

 

Deffinitely get those plugs changed ( running longer than you are supose to on them is really bad for the ignition coils and mileage), that and check the air filter and change. Hm, now i have the 6sp manual trans and i get consistantly 18 to 19 mpg running backroads in PA.

 

Maybe I should change the plugs before I go to Chicago whats a good plug?

 

There's a sticky with a whole how-to on changing the plugs on a 4.0 V6. I think if you search for "spark plugs 1GR" you will find it. It gives the Denso part number, which is what seems to be most recommended here. The engine comes from the factory with three Denso and three NGK (for reasons that no one has been able to adequately explain).

I'm about to change mine at 32,000 miles, and since I can't get the Denso here anywhere but the dealership, I'm going with the NGKs.

 

Yeah just found it and posted in it lol thanks!

I might be doing this tomorrow see if it really helps, throwing a K&N filter in it to.

Take care of her she'll take care of you.

Just need to figure out which plugs

OEM or

Long life ones but I think Chris4x4 said to do OEM he seems like he knows what he is talking about

 

AFE makes the best drop in for Tacoma's. A lot of K&N filters need to be oiled...which in this day and age, is really just stupid.
