    If you have to ask, you have no business opening the hood of your truck. Head straight to the dealership before you drain your transmission fluid instead of your oil pan.

    I know Toyota has a habit of putting bicycle chains in their motors. they rarely do damage, but if you see one in there, have the dealership remove it promptly.

    while they are in there, have them verify proper oil level

    Quick youtube search. 25 years ago when I sold auto parts people would always come in and ask for the latest snake oil to fix their cars. I just remember this one because of the name. It seems they sale the same snake oil for men too.
