    From what I've heard it is. You'll get an idea of what shape your motor is in, and if you can go longer on your oil change interval. My buddies company does it on all their trucks, and the anylisis can tell them all kinds of stuff like if a bearing is on its way out or whatever

    One for the PreRunner, one for the 5-Lug, and one for the Merc E320.

    I would say yes. It shows you things that you would never be able to see with the naked eye.

    Really helped me understand how healthy the 5VZ in the 5-Lug is, and if it was worth putting money into.

    Cavalry Blue, right?

    Reading the comments some more point out the hood scoop is fake.

    That's why I wanna do it, get a real idea of the health of my 3.4, and if I can go a little longer between oil changes that's cool too

    Really? To what possible purpose? Can’t imagine they’d rework the engine just for the very limited pro sales.

    The option is called desert air intake

    And besides if you take a new tacoma deep enough that water goes through the scoop im pretty sure you arnt gunna be driving out the other side
