    I read that Toyota started offering dual VVT-i in the 1GR-FE engine at some point.
    What year Tacoma started having the dual-VVT-i?

    Nevermind I jsut read this part:

    If the oil filter is a traditional spin on filter mounted in front of the driver side valve cover (next to the oil fill cap), it's the original single VVT-i 4.0 V6.

    The dual VVT-i 4.0 V6 has uses a cartridge oil filter and it's mounted down low towards the bottom of the engine--it's not accessible from up above through the hood.
