About once a year/7K, Bought it in 2000, I was driving it to Houston every week for the last year before I opened it up, It's pretty easy to change compared to the '04 PreRunner. I have to take off a couple of skid plates to change the oil on the 04, so it doesn't get changed as often The 95...

Thanks everyone, I have a '95 Taco, same motor, something went wrong in the engine ventilation system and it completely filled with sludge/carbon , I pulled a valve cover and the only clear space was where the cam lobes pushed it aside, and I did not want the '04 to go that way. I'd just used...

Time to switch from Rotella T6 5W40 to? Mobil1 15W50? My RV with 129K had been having a pretty load lifter tick when idleing after an hour or more highway driving. I've got a real oil pressure gauge on it ,so I can see it when the pressure gets below 65-70 PSI and the coolant is at 190F , just...
