I have a 2010 Tundra 4.6L 4X4 truck with 12K miles on it. I have been having Toyota dealership change the oil for me since they gave me a 24 month free maintenance. They are supposed to be putting in Toyota 0W20 oil which is synthetic oil and supposed to be very good. couple of months after the...

I have a 2008 Toyota Tacoma 4X4 truck and been trying out different brand oils in 20 wt. mostly synthetic and yet to find one that I am impressed with, maybe except Castrol Syntec 5W-20 which surprised me. But still not settled on one particular oil yet. Any suggestions?

I have recently bought a new Honda ATV Rancher 420 4x4 and when it was due for its first oil change, I put in what I thougth would be the best syntetic oil money can buy, Amsoil 4-stroke power sports oil 0W-40. the problem is it has only been like two weeks since I change the oil and have only...

I have bought some Amsoil 0W-20 fully syntetic oil for my 2008 Tacoma with 2.7L 4cyl. engine. The owners manual calls out 5W-20 or 0W-20, but states that 0W-20 is prefered! I have never run 0W-20 oil before. Only 5W-20 both convensional and synthetic and one time for a short while 5W-30. Does...

I was at all local auto parts stores around my house and there is not too many choices for gear oil, specially 75W90. some places have their own store brand in that weight, but I don't know if I want to put some cheap no-name gear oil in my truck. the only convensional name brand gear oil I...

After hearing all the good things about GC 0W-30, I bought couple stashes of them from AZ at their current special and going to try it in my 2008 Tacoma 4cyl 4x4 which calls out 0W-20 or 5W-20. has anybody tried it in similar trucks? Do you think it would perform well in my truck?

I have a 2008 Tacoma 4 cylinder truck that calls out 5W-20 or 0W-20 oils. I just bouth some German Castrol Syntec in 0W-30 for next oil change since I heard so much good things about it. What do you guys think? You think it would be OK? you think it would work well in my truck?

I went today to Autozone and took advantage of the great deal they are running on 5 qts of Castrol Syntec and a K&N filter for $25. I got some of that German Castrol (0W-30) that everybody was praising so much to give it a try. but the trouble is my truck holds almost 6 qts of oil, and I hate to...

Again I put a little more oil in when I changed it last time. On these 4 cylinder tacomas it is hard to figure out exactly how much to put in. If you put in what the manual calls out you go over the full line. Now my dipstick shows about 1/4" over the full line. Is it going to be OK till next...

my 2008 Tacoma 2.7L I4 4X4 calls out 5W-20. wondering if anybody has or is using 5W-30 or 0W-30 oil in this engine and what kind of results have you seen? any problems from running a little thicker oil? any benefits?

My 2008 Tacoma 4X4 2.7L I4 calls out 5W-20 motor oil in the owners manual, but the engine seems to run a little noisy and with more vibration. I tried 5W-30 just last month, in the middle of the winter and had a little trouble with cold start up, with too much valve whistling and chattering for...

When I last changed the oil in my 2008 Tacoma 4X4 2.7L MT, I put in a little more oil than required to bring it to full mark, mostly due to the fact I didn't have to replace the filter. the oil level on the dipstick right now showing a little less than a 1/4 inch above the full line. Is this OK...

Amsoil is promoting that you can run their oil along with their oil filter in your car for 25,000 mile. Is anybody actually doing this. what has been your experience? How does your car run all these miles on the same oil? Do they sell Amsoil oil and filters in stores or can you only buy them...

What do you guys think is the best oil filter (not too expensive) for this kind of truck? Those of you who have similar trucks have you tried the Toyota filter for it and what is your opinion on it?

Gentlemen, I have an issue with my truck that I hope you can shed some light on. After the last oil change, right whe I started the truck for the first time and also every day when I first start up the truck in the mornings, I hear a high pitch low squeeling noise comming from top of the engine...
