    Check with your town or city if they have a recyling bin if a resident. They do here that you bring your used oil, or coolant to dump in 50 gal. drums.

    I got my tires from Discount tire. While I can rotate the tires, they rotate them, balance them and fix flats for free. I get to sit in the truck and watch them do it and they impact the nuts on, and then torque them to specs with a torque wrench for the final torque. I have double checked behind them and they are accurate on the lug torque. I change my own oil ad filter.

    To be clear, is that Amazon genuine Toyota part linked above good for a Gen 3 Taco, specifically a '20 TRD Pro?

    After one of my early "free" oil changes, I drove to work, and when I got there, the oil light came on. There was a good size puddle of oil under the truck in no time. The dealer had it towed in and fixed it, no harm no foul, but I'm guessing when they changed the oil, the over torqued the plastic canister housing. I'm thinking I'll get the aluminum one if that's the right one for my truck, even if I don't do oil changes myself.
