Kansas City Tacoma Crew - 816/913

no no the si was fine im meaning the fact people would push it to 10k mile oil changes and do a lot of test because well honda people! and found they are not that great to run at 10k oil changes.

 

I just do what the manual says and use decent oil

 

fair but its not a terrible idea to look into some of the things people do research on. a lot of people would spend time and money on the si forum to see how the oil would last on letting it go for further miles.

the 2.7 eco ford says to do 10k oil changes but a lot of people over the years have stated its a bit to long on this engine and its advised to do it every 5k instead. which is what the person that sold my truck did so ill continue that since thats what they did and others do.

 

On a slightly related note: beer can truck vs can opener. Telehandler won this round.



Happy Friday, everyone!

 

oh shit! haha ya them being aluminum is interesting!

 

75k miles with amsoil signature every 10-12k miles

 

you are also not a turbo vehicle lol i think its only for the turbo vehicles.

never used amsoil thou ive always used mobile 1 tbh

 

Compared to the Taco though it hurts, even if gentle. Still awesome looking for the year.

 

I’ll do it on the GRC at some point. I’m at like 6500 miles so I have a ways to go still. Didn’t bother testing the first change.

 

Usually i was 17-19 mpg in the taco and I'm 15-18 mpg in the tundra. Small price to pay for all the extra space.

 

Nice, always been a Castrol fan since my racing days long ago.

 

ah i gotcha

ill have to see if i still have a pic of the tundra we drove it wasnt anything special but it was a really nice truck

 

Sharp, my Tundra gets 16-17 if I’m lucky lol. Taco I always get at least 18-20.

 

Aw dang

 

Shit happens. 12 years and 425k miles for this company without any serious damage. Something like this is kind of an eventuality.

 

how did it happen? just back into it or somethin?

 

Yup, backed into a parked machine in the dark. Got stressed/in a hurry and didn't pay attention

 

well damn that sucks but if thats the worse thats happened in 12 years thats good lol

 

Least he didn't jump it

 

I've only done that with like 1 truck thank you!
