I'm on my 2nd set of Michelin Defender LTX M/S P245/75R16 109S for my 2012 Tacoma 2.7L 4 cylinder 4WD SR5 5-speed manual w/92,000 miles. I don't aggressively go off road per say, but follow old mud/dirt oil skidder paths while checking properties or out hunting in southern Ohio. Majority of...

2012 Toyota Tacoma 2.7L 4 cylinder 4x4 SR5 5-Speed manual 91,000 miles. Out: Original factory power steering fluid that was a light brown in color. In: Valvoline ATF Dexron/MERC (Dexron III). Total flush of system. Funny I only used 1qt. of the Valvoline ATF Dexron/MERC (Dexron III) gallon...

My 2012 Tacoma has mainly shifted smoothly even in below freezing to sub zero temperatures. Never a dragging feeling, but sometimes from 1st to 2nd a little stiff when below freezing. I didn't change out my original transmission fluid until truck had 80,000 miles earlier this spring 2019. Added...

After reading this thread I've decided to drink the punch and change out the power steering fluid on my 2012 Toyota Tacoma (91,000 miles). It does look a little cloudy in the reservoir or it's me? Owners manual says use ATF Dexron II or III. Purchased from Wally World Valvoline ATF Dexron...

OEM for Toyota truck so far. Drag Specialties for my Harley Davidson Twin-Cam Ultra Limited. If in a pinch will purchase OEM Harley Davidson.

Originally Posted by painfx According to the report, Blackstone recommends OCI to 7k. So, does that means going over 7k is not ideal? Since this is a 10K+ OCI type of oil. Per this Toyota Service Bulletin I'm supposed to change my oil every 5,000 miles since 0W-20 is not inclusive to my engine...

Originally Posted by dippschtick Seems like a lot of moly for M1 EP. What did you have in it before? Toyota Dealership used 0W-20 majority of changes and sometimes 5W-20 conventional for 75,000 miles. The indy used 0W-20 the other 10,000 miles. Not sure on manufacture brand used? I assume who...

Originally Posted by Marco620 Using EP for 5K miles only? That is correct. I didn't start my own oil changes until 85,000 miles. Until that it was Toyota Dealer, then an indy shop for 10,000 miles ( 2 changes). All I know is that they used an 0W-20 weight oil.

Pretty boring report as I thought it would be. 2012 Toyota Tacoma 2.7L 4 cyl 4x4 SR5 with 90,000 miles. Mobil 1 0W-20 Extended Performance.

Most Toyota Dealer invoices folks post for MT & TC service is bulk 75W-90 from what I remember reading. I didn't call or ask my local dealer what they used due to trust issues. My 2012 Tacoma Owners Manual recommends 75W-90 GL4/GL5 for MT & TC. I drained and refilled my truck MT/TC for the first...

What vehicle do you plan using either filter on? I use the Toyota 90915-YZZD1 on my 2012 Toyota Tacoma 2.7L 4 cylinder due to that's what the dealership used for years before I started doing my own oil changes.

I appreciate the positive feedback. My thoughts now is to only balance only if need be. Thx!

I'm really over thinking this but here goes. I bought new Michelin Defender LTX M/S tires for my Toyota Tacoma 4X4 5 months ago or 5,000 miles. Today after work I stopped in tire dealer for the Lifetime Rotate Balance Valve Stems Alignment Check etc etc etc. All I wanted was to rotate and...

I highly doubt the Dealer will take the bike back under any circumstances UNLESS they're making a profit for a 2nd time from you. I assume they'll first try ergonomic upgrades i.e. seat, foot pegs, handlebars etc. to find a possible comfort zone for you. Possibly even try putting you on another...

Kudo's to you for checking! Before I started performing my own oil changes I'd always check afterwards just to be sure. Usually found dealership didn't rotate tires which was on their check list.
