    Start up, idle for a few minutes, let the oil filter fill up. That gets you pretty close to the extra .5 you need. I used to put in 5 quarts and then keep adding slowly after filling the filter, but I’ve found that it always takes the 5.5 on the dot so I just add it all from the get go now.

    1000% right. The last Tacoma engine to have a timing belt was on the 3.4L V6. All second gens and 3rd gens using timing chains.

    The brands of oil and filter I use are by far the best.

    None... yet.
    Absolutely not! Mine is! Even if it's the same as yours!

    And, to emphasize how much better mine is, yours is clearly the worst...

    Well I spend the most, so mine is better by default. Gotta pay to play!
