    I gotta get some Mobil 1 in my truck ASAP. I've used it on all my vehicles and plan on using it in the Tacoma, too. After reading all the threads about botched ToyotaCare oil changes, it makes me weary of taking my truck to them for that. I plan on keeping this truck for a very long time, and this is my first new car so I wanna take care of it from the beginning.

    Also, you're telling me my front brake pads are good for ~100k miles?!

    I'm at 96 or 97K and haven't needed to replace mine yet. When I tire swapped (Summers to Winters) last October, the front pads measured 7mm. Planning to replace pads and rotors this Spring, but could probably go longer. FWIW

    Good call. I think the experience with my truck shows the Tacoma does very well with Mobil 1.

    That is what my experience has been.

    Good luck!

    That's amazing to me considering how strong the brakes in my Tacoma feel compared to any other car/suv I've driven.

    I'm looking forward to your 400k+ threads!

    Assuming you average 20mpg (which is probably a generous estimate) and also assuming a constant $3.50 gas prices over the last 7 years... you spend just under $8,000/year just in gasoline. What do you do for a living?? And are your finances in order to accommodate this??

    I drove mine 300 miles last month. At that rate and considering how long you're proving these trucks can last, mine should literarlly last.....a lifetime :D

    Does anyone else have over 200k miles on their Taco and have always used dino oils instead of synthetic? The OP uses synthetic on everything and I'm just wondering if anyone else is getting high mileage out of their truck without paying the added expense of synthetic. Mine is brand new and as soon as the 2 year free maintenance ends I will be doing my own maintenance and am contemplating switching to synthetic.

    Was just curious, not many people have $8k/year to throw at gasoline.

    Fair enough ... I average 20K miles annually and my wife about 15K miles. Our fuel costs combined are about $6,500 annually. Just seemed an odd question ... No offense. Ok?

    Big tires, big lift, Lots of stuff's.
    DAFUQ??? If you can't afford to put gas in a vehicle why own one?

    OP love to see how long I cit will go for you!! That's crazy, and awesome!

    Seems about right. Between my wife and I we have 3 cars. I've never added up my gas money spent but I'd say my truck gets 5k, my runner 17-20k a year and subie prolly 12k. Plus gas money spent in toys it adds up but that's a cost that has to be thought before buying cars and toys IMO.

    OP, I didn't see anything about the water pump in parts that you have replaced. Are you still on the original??
