2nd gen maintenance required light

thanks for the heads up bro!

 

right on banshee. r u a gurru? what do u think of just a magnaflow on a bone stock exhaust?

 

How do you do that? (I guess I am taking the bait). Mine is a 2005 Taco TRD Access w/ 6 speed manual. Show and tell, and i shall try. It is very slightly throaty, definately not stock sounding, if stock has a sound. I do not know if the K&N is going to change that sound though, because there would be more flow to the cat, whether the cat has more flow left to go through it would be the question. Therefore, I do not know which sound, if I can record it, is the sound you want to here. Also, I have to measure my Mag, not sure length of it, but the part # was 7414, probably a 14" if I was to take a wag.

 

Thanks for the info on the reset on the oil change. Jeff, 06 Brilliant Red 6spd.

 

Nice! It worked perfect...

 

thanks this info is good to know. printing this quote as i type

 

This worked on my wife's 06 Rav4 as well. Since I do synthetic, I will be changing my oil myself (dearlers cost too much). This little trick helps me out a ton! Thanks.

 

Anyone know if this is a fixed mileage indication, or does the Tacoma have an oil life monitor?

 

So THAT'S how you make that sucker go out.....thank you.

...............geezer

 

Thanks for the tip i got it done.....

 

totally cool that light was bugging me forever

 

Thanks Banshee, I just reached the 4500 mark and thought that might be the case but keep forgetting to look it up, you saved me the trouble. I'm now trying to decide if I want to stick with dino or go to Mobil 1 like I did on my Mustang.

Did my own oil today, as it is summertime and I don't have a garage, thanks for posting the reset instructions . Worked like a charm.
Usually changing the oil at every 4,000 miles. Oil was quite clean and just starting to turn color.

Thanks again to Banshee for posting in oil light info. Its just one of those annoying things care makers do.
Its good to remind people of the need for a oil change and hope they will do it, just that blinking light would drive me to the dealer.

I haven't decided to use Syn oil yet, I do use it in my SO's Subie wagon and in general have been very satisfied.
One of my neighbors who is a Volvo mech, has all of his customers using it (Syn Castrol, Mobil 1) and has many customers with over 300K and still counting. He will take all of my oil used oil and he has a special oil burner in his garage that he uses for heat, so it saves him $$ during the New England winter. It burns just about anything but brake fluid.
Anyhow we got into a long discussion on dino vs syn, weighing the costs etc.
One real good thing about Taco's is that you can just slide under the truck and drop the oil quickly and then go up to the engine compartment and do the filter and add the new oil check for leaks and your done. No jacking the truck up to get at anything.
Just as an aside, quickly, I live in rural MA., with in two miles there are three Taco's the same color as mine and a fair number of silver ones.
