    Is it typical bad to do this? I’m doing this on my 24 Tundra. Currently running M1 EP and MOA for 5K intervals. I’m having the dealer do the 10K with I’m just assuming bulk oil. I prepaid for maintenance up to 85K but don’t want to wait 10K to have the oil changed. Plus this give me a chance to...

    Canceling Toyota care

    What would you guys do? I financed Toyota care till 85K. I’m on the fence on canceling it. My current plan is change the oil every 5K then have the dealer do the 10K. I’ve already had the dealer leave my skid plate loose and a bolt missing. Every time I leave I do a general walk around. Hence...

    2001 F150 5.4L 115K

    Just got this truck from my mother in law who drove it after my father in law passed. It runs well but could run better. The internals at least I can see through the fill hole look clean. Brakes need to be flushed and the power steering as well. My first change will restore and protect for at...

    Auto insurance

    What’s everyone using? For two vehicles in my signature I pay 315 a month with AAA. 500 deductible. I’ve heard adding a 16 year old son is going to double my premiums. I may have to shop around.

    Got a surprise email today

    From discount tire down in Houston. Thanking me for bringing in my 15 Tacoma for a tire repair. Here’s the kicker the insurance totaled it out due to hail damage. Discount used the license plate and got my information. Needless to say I’m glad it didn’t go to the scrap yard and somebody picked...

    2024 Toyota Tundra 3.4LTT

    Toyota recommends 10K intervals. I’ve got oil changes at the dealer till 85K. My plan is to change it every 5K. One by me and one by the dealer. I’m thinking on using M1 ESP 0W20 for 5K intervals then using the dealer 0W20 for 5K intervals. Is it ok to switch back and forth between oils? Thanks.

    Toyota 0W20

    Those of you who use it. How much is it at the dealer. I plan on documenting the Toyota receipt and change interval (5500-7000 miles). This will be going into my 24 Tundra with hopefully not problematic 3.4LTT engine. I’ll be stepping away from Amsoil at least till warranty is up. Unless I...

    This might be a dumb question but do welding helmets expire? I’ve got a helmet that I used 21 years ago that hasn’t been used since. Don’t know if I’ll use it again.

    Chevy turbo max 4 banger

    Your thoughts on these? I’ve been a Toyota fan boy since 2002…Tacomas preferably. Although Toyota quality has gone down hill it seems with TTV6. I maybe looking in to a full size that gets decent gas mileage.

    Hail damage totaled

    My 15 Tacoma is done for. Waiting to hear back what insurance is going to give. I could buy it back but keeping full coverage would be stupid and liability isn’t that much cheaper from what I’m told. He’s one more timing chain pic for your enjoyment, lol.

    How many insurance claims

    Like the title says. I’ve had two insurance claims already on my 15 Tacoma. One for hail damage and another for a squirrel chewing through the abs harness. Yesterday we had the worse hail I’ve experienced in the 17 years in Texas. Lots of dents again but no windshield shattering. At one point...
