    Plus the maintenance is costly as well. Most use anywhere from 11-15 quarts of oil

    Not an expensive part but the water pump on the Scion was making noise and Dylan replaced it in Sunday and it was the original Aisin pump at almost 190K miles.

    It's not about the driver as much as about how the factory tune for those vehicles is different I'm sure. When people start modifying vehicles you can turn off torque management and tons of other stuff that can cause increased failures.

    That's pretty impressive for a water pump. I've heard a couple people claim.similar mileage on those and timing belts despite the recommended interval being closer to every 100k. Some people live on the wild side lol

    It wasn't even over heating or anything either it was just making noise.

    I don't think I've ever been to a Bombshells that wasn't full of assholes though. Guess that's why you always see fights there on the news?

    I'm curious to see how many supercharged 5th gen 4Runners or 3rd gen Tacos blow their transmissions in the foreseeable future?

    Bottle might have been empty. Only way to know for sure is to put it in the cab, windows up, crack the valve and go for a drive.
