    So the 5, 10, and 15k service was done by Scranton.
    Previous owner likely took it somewhere else for the 20, 25, and 30k service, or did it himself

    How does the oil look? Should look clean.
    Is it a Toyota (black) oil filter or Fram? If Fram, previous owner probably took it to Walmart. If it's white, it's probably from Iffy Lube.

    If its Fram rip that shit out as soon as you can, youd be better off using a fishing net to catch debris instead of that orange can.

    You really like tempting fate, putting Ford products in your Toyota.

    I won't even say the word "Ford" within earshot of my Taco.

    I'll take a look at the oil. But it was a leased vehicle. So I'm sure the service was done there.

    First, welcome and congrats on your new Tacoma.

    You should be worried/pissed with that gas mileage on a stock truck.

    Im averaging 15 mpg's with several mods and even regeared to improve the crappy gas mileage.

    Tom let's not offend Rich. I guess we should never talk about cleaning a MAF on a taco. :)

    Sorry to derail. I use Fuelly but can not find an iPhone app for it. Do you have a link for the app? Thanks.

    Definitely figure your gas out on the next few tanks. But if you're still getting 11 mpgs that certainly seems low. I have almost the same truck except I have the long bed. I also have 265/75-16 duratracs and lifted and I still get around 19.5 mpgs.

    Gascubby has an iOS app, but they are consolidating with Fuelly. Fuelly is asking for volunteers to beta their iOS app.
