2GR-FKS

Just sharing: http://www.toyotareference.com/guts/tacoma16_engine.pdf

I found this a real interesting read... the more I read about this engine the more impressed I am by it.

the only thing I don't like about what toyota is doing recently is putting plastic oil filter housings on their vehicles... did it with the LC200 as well. sucks. At least for the LC200 the venza & Tundra pieces can be swapped over for a more robust design: http://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/aluminum-oil-filter-cap-durability.411523/

I suppose 16 Tacoma owners will figure all this out when the oil starts needing changed for the first time...

 

Great info! Thanks for sharing.

 

whats everyone filling up with?
I was under the impression it took 87 but this is calling for premium 91?

 

Many thanks!

That was some serious information overload. Didn't understand a lot of it, but it sounded cool.

 

The owner's manual calls for 87 Octane. I'm putting 85 in it, in Colorado (which is our 'regular').

 

I have the same question. Don't think this was the first time I've seen 91 required. What does the manual say?

 

Never mind, someone beat me to it

 

A real engine....

 

Page 570, Section 9.1

 

What gets me is the "or higher". You don't see that with other mfg. My Ram even states that running higher than 89 with not provide any benefits. So, we clearly see that 87 is recommended but I would like to know if we would get better performance/mpg with higher octane..

 

Stock.

You work for the Toyota race team? I have a buddy that used to tune engines on the circuit for awhile namely Brian Vickers. E. Averill.

 

I wish... Id love to help joe Gibbs racibg

 

Anyone have a dyno chart for the new 3.5L yet?
