Akebono pads seem highly regarded. I've got to pick between these and OEM (which I'm happy with so far) for a replacement I'll do myself on a 2013 Tacoma v6. Which pads would you pick?

But yyymmdd sorted alphabetically is also sorted numerically so it's more perfect.

U joint is made by Spicer who states in the spec sheet that only Mystik JT6 is approved for their U joint. It's cheap and approved. Why would you use anything else?

It's cheap for a reason, which is that used Audis are troublesome and extremely expensive to service and at times un-fixable. Case in point, the Audi Allroad Quatro: So, yeah, that's why Audis don't keep their value. That's why they are leased and as soon as the manufacturer's warranty...

I use PP 5w30 in my 2013 Tacoma 1GRFE, 5k OCI. I enrolled into the free Pennzoil warranty whereby they warranty your engine for 500,000 miles provided you use pennzoil synthetic and manufacturer OCI (5k in our case) and viscosity (5w30 on TJ Tacoma 1GRFE)

Toyota Corolla over the other 3 for proven reliability

Who manufactures the oil filter?

Recently Toyota bought back 2007 Toyota Tundra with 1,000,000 miles from a customer. It had been serviced at the dealership its entire life. That means Toyota filters its entire life. They proceeded to put the truck on a dyno then took the engine apart. The truck made more power on the dyno...
