    Hey guys! Just wanted to say Hi and introduce my new toy(ota)!

    Picked it up yesterday, 2006, one owner and seemingly 200k miles to and from a detailer...

    Already have a list of things I want to do, having a 3D printer, small CNC and a lot of CAD experience I have a lot of cool jobs to start doing!

    PS. How often do you guys do services? Oil changes, filters, etc, and what gas does your tacoma like?

    Thanks and I will be sure to post all my mods in the future!

    Not that I can tell at all, have to have a really close look but it looks very clean. Might have had it sorted in the past or might be down to it being a texas truck that lived in a garage. I'm going to look into it further :)

    welcome to TW.

    i change my oil every 5k. although recently changing to amsoil, I'm going to try 7k, get an oil analysis and take it from there. 87 octane for me when it comes to gas but when going on long road trips, i put in 91. ive noticed i get better mileage on it for longer highway trips.

    Synthetic oil change every 7500 miles, plugs every 30k. Front, rear diff and transfer case every 30k

    With the miles you have on the truck, baby it and you should get at least another 100,000 plus more...good luck and congrats!

    Welcome to TW. For me, I use regular oil because lets be honest its lubricated engines for 100 years without a problem. Change it every 3k miles. Come here daily and learn the truck's quirks and problems and how to fix them. Drive it like you stole it and any gas will do.
