Originally Posted By: Colt45ws Yeah, crazy oil was likely talking about the old modular 2V engines. Those are known to go 500k+up to around a million no problem. Agree with others on this Toyota 4.0. No topup in 5k is amazing. I only get 2500/qt. Have you had to put any gaskets on this engine? I...

I've got a 2006 Tacoma with the 1GR-FE V-6 that has over 350k miles on it. Should the oil pumps in these Toyota's be replaced at some mileage? Or is it a safe bet to just keep running it?

Please report back with what you find in the pan.

I have run both LT E rated tires and P metric on several vehicles. I would not suggest LT with E rating for smaller vehicles (Tacoma, Jeep Cherokee, etc.) as the ride is too stiff. However, on larger trucks (F150, Silverado, etc.) that haul loads they work and ride quite well. LT tires with...

I wonder how often I should be changing my air filter in these conditions?

FRAM Pro Synthetic ? Not a FRAM lover here either, but anybody know anything about these? or even where they are sold?

I have 338k on my Toyota Tacoma, all on M1 with no issues.
