I think this oil/filter stuff a mix of science, opinion, brand loyalty, luck of the draw, mechanics, and voodoo.. I imagine 10 others will say they never had a rattle at start up or any other time with brand XX O/filter? I can say for certain I NEVER have either here in Florida or when I lived...

It's done, both vehicles got their O/C's today.. For the TOYO I decided on M1 oil since no matter where I looked I couldn't find enough info or opinion to convince me CASTROL was a better option?? So 2-5 qt jugs of M1 5-30, and the WIX O/Filter (bought 2, pt#51348)where purchased and the job...

Thanks Bud, some great info there I never would have found since I've never owned a MOPAR nor heard of that forum/s.. Looks like I'm GTG with the Pure-One or the WIX. Thanx again

Doing some online research and it looks like the MANN filter for this motor is not the GERMAN MANN I used for other cars in years past. Purolator and MANN are the same I guess so maybe a Purolator ONE or BOSCH filter will be the way to go?..

Anyone have experience or care to share thoughts on MANN Oil filters for the TOYO 4.7? Also would Purolator be a good option/filter for this application?

I'm OK w/Dino oil and have used it almost exclusively in all my vehicles for as long as I've owned cars/trucks. Started changing my own oil at 16Y/O and just turned 50 on 10/09.. Prob run more CASTROL 20/50 then anything else and can say for certain I've never had an OIL related problem.. That...

Did the Trans service (fluid and filter) several days after I bought the TOYO.. I tried to search the site for suggestions on filters didn't have much luck there? Is the M1 filter a better option then the WIX? Yea I know seafoam gets mixed reviews but my "plan" was it would clean things up in...

I recently purchased an 06 TOYO 4-Runner w/the 4.7 V-8 and want to begin my OCI's with a good quality oil.. Want to go with a full syn & I'm thinking M1, CASTROL, or PENNZOIL? Engine is in perfect running order, in fact the entire rig is in amazing condition so I plan on keeping/maintaing this...

Quote: Whatever fuel you get, store it separately from the generator and keep its tank dry until you need it. I'm perplexed by this?? Why is it BETTER to store fuel in a plastic jug then a plastic fuel tank? Why would I want to trip over a 5gal gas can all the time when I can have the same 5...
