4th gen Oil Change

It's the lighting most likely. Hardly any miles on oil and it has that hue. Changed the oil on a families Jetta which had about 1800 miles on it, but had been a year. Color looked exactly like that.

 

nice info. 40nm it is.

 

I just go to the dealership once a year and get enough filters and washers to last for a few oil changes.

With your Toyocare you get 2 free oil changes. its going to depend on the dealer, some will only change it every 10k miles and others will let you use your 2 oil changes whenever you want.

 

lol yea i saw that too. For a split second I was worried that I just drained the transmission. I once made that mistake on my 2nd gen 2.7.

Probably looks a little red due to the lighting and the fact that the oil only was only used couple thousand miles

 

Nicely done!

 

NIce oil cooler on it too.

 

Thinking of ordering the f133.

 

Take a look at this post:

 

Thanks! Took me to my options at https://www.fumotousa.com/cars-pickups-toyota-2024-tacoma-2-4l-l4

 

Seems like these would help a lot for 4G oil changes.

Hi, if the oil fill hole is like most other Toyotas you can use a Toyota/Mobil 1/Amsoil/maybe Castrol? Empty quart bottle by cutting off the bottom of the container(once empty of course) and threading that into the fill hole. I’m not home otherwise I’d include a picture for clarity

 

Was under truck doing oil change today. No issues, but I couldn’t locate any front bump stops. Can anyone confirm?

 

Are they tucked in the top hat?

 

The Mobil 1 Euro 0W30 I used to use was always dark red when drained. TGMO being made by ExxonMobil probably has similar characteristics.

 

Honestly I enjoy taking an overly excessive amount of time to change my oil. *cough fart*

 

Don't get caught up in the profanity, it's just a gender neutral pronoun. Not worked up, just imagining how much cheaper these filters would be if they were all the same across the last three generations. You should be in favor of standardization too. Instead you like to defend these cucks and think you have the moral high ground because you don't curse.

 

Sure.

 

At 10k miles already?

 

Yup they’re integral to the shocks now. Bummer

 

who’s waiting 10k miles
