New truck, first scheduled oil change at 10,000... really?

He was in bearings in from the 60’s through the 90s. He was invited to Japan because he was a large dealer for SKF and FAG bearings and NSK bearings in Japan were hoping to woo him away from them. One of the perks was touring a Toyota engine plant in Japan. I recall he chalked up Toyota’s reliability not to design, or manufacturing tolerances, but to Quality Control. He told me at the time that Toyota made just as many fuck ups as anyone else, but they caught them before they were shipped out. That’s when the subject of dyno testing every single engine came up.

 

It’s the truth, earth brother. My tarot reading shows it as well.

 

600..plus replies,, REALLY,, wow,, here's another one..

 

We are just sitting around bullshitting in this thread. It’s not informative. We all know what Toyota recommends, and are welcome to exceed their expectations. That was clear before OP asked the unnecessary question that brought everyone here.

 

The question is, now what do we do??

 

Change our oil?

 

Or go buy a new cooler.

 

Well, there is this poor guy that just posted he is loving his new truck. You can congratulate him or corrupt him, posters choice

Pretty cool. I'd love to find out how they do it now. Toyota is very much looked up to for their quality control expertise.

 

New cooler? Last new cooler I got was a terrible - it shifted funny whenever you got a beer out. Old coolers for the win!

 

It’s not hard to test an engine before it is put in the car. They just have a test booth with all the wiring harnesses and hoses waiting to be connected. I’m guessing they still run every engine.

 

Always change your oil every 3k miles, and diff and trans every 30k, theyre filull of shit its all the planned obselence plan

 

My advice is have your engine tested with oil that was used in it. I have no idea how my 1st gen was cared for the first 139k. I did the first two oil changes after I got the truck at 10k with synthetic. Sent my oil off the Blackstone Labs and this was their response.

 

Did they tell you what's inside the engine too?

 

Nice!!!! That’s a full reset on this whole thread. Now we can go over it all again, and have Hammer refute everything (again) with wiki pages!

I’ll grab some beer and be right back.

 

If we stop here now we can take a break till the next oil post comes in

 

But think of all the ash from burning woooooood

 

Synthetic wood?

 

Yeah, its definitely doable. And if they do find a dud, they don't have to remove it from a vehicle to correct it. Hmmm.

 

Synthetic wood is really organic wood mixed with baking soda..... Like crack
