Tacoma Maintenance Advice

Hi, so my 25k free maintenance is done for 2013 TRD Sport. Time to either get raped by Dealer or to do it myself and save my self some bucks with better quality products right???

Okay well I was looking at filters to begin with, how does the TRD Tacoma Oil Filter do???

Any oils that you've actually felt a difference??? I'm switching to synthetic so something alone that category.

How about spark plugs for the future????



Thanks guys!

 

OEM filter and Mobil 1

 

denso iridium plugs because im not sure about the 2012-14s but on the v6 they run half denso and half ngk but i hear the densos run better for oil i use the trd filter and mobil 1 oil and my truck runs fine havent used anything else since i purchased the vehicle. but the stock and trd filter elements are way bigger than aftermarket like fram k&n/mobil1 and purolator. have fun and save money by doing it yourself! good luck!

and have oil filters and drain plug gaskets for awhile for cheap.

Stick with OEM standard DENSO or NGK plugs. do not waste your money on iridium.

 

Factory filter and drain plug gasket. If you want to use an upgraded oil, first educate yourself over at www.bobistheoilguy.com and then just fork over the moolah for Liqui-Moly or Lubro-Moly oil(same company). If you are sticking with dino oil, try using an eco-power product as it is re-refined oil and is much better for the environment...

Most of my customers choose the Eco-Power oil as it fits their personal values. I usually only recommend the Liqui-Moly product if it's someone who is an enthusiast or just wants the best possible protection for their vehicle. I found this oil when I bought a Ze German auto and have never used anything else in that car. I also run it in my MR2 and it has quieted down this noisy little sucker quite a bit.
