What Have You Done To Your 2nd Gen Tacoma Today?

2.7L yes sir.

 

Been thinking about it in switching over to synthetic. Do you put in synthetic or conventional?

 

I believe 0-20 is syn only. Correct me if im wrong.

 

Copy.

Mobile 1 synthetic but only because it's cheap at Costco

 

Correct. I currently run 5W-30 conventional but would go with 0W-20 if running synthetic.

Costco is the reason I will likely switch to synthetic. What a great place to shop.

 

You guys get me that price for the new Mobil 1 Annual Protection.

 

Traded it in yesterday for a 2017 Taco.

Later.

 

Get out. You're no longer welcome here.

PS check your diff.

 

0w-20 is synthetic only, and for the 2.7 engine. Idk what you v6 fellers run. But we don't have to change plugs every 30k like you do

 

I use conventional, only because I get free oil changes for as long as I own my truck.

 

Driverside Camburg Uniball was too noisey so I swapped it out.

Pretty easy to do but it's only 1 year old. Totally wore out.

 

That sucks, probably a 10 minute fix and 2 hours of labor to remove and reinstall the UCA.

 

Sounds about right. Pretty good at getting those UCAs in and out so it was little over an hour.

 

next time just remove the uniball on the truck. will save you some time.

 

Your absolutely right. I didn't know the uniball would come out so easy.

 

The first time is always the hardest and takes the longest time to do.

I'm jealous.

I picked up some used UCA's & the outer bearing race is rusted to the UCA cup. A 12 ton press couldnt convince it so its soaking in oil all week to try again Thursday. Will take a 20 ton jack with a cheater bar to the shop this time, and a full bottle of propane as a last resort. At this point paying double for new sounds like a decent idea

 

Yeah it's not too bad. Vw Jettas a real bitch!
