I am abought to pick up a new 06 Toyota Tacoma 4X4 V6 manual 6 speed pick up. There are numerous opinions on what to do and what to use when changing the fluids.
I have also been told that bypass filters and pre oilers are over kill for a vehicle such as mine; better suited to high performance or industrial equipment. Yes/ No?
My Q are:
1. When would you do your first oil change?
2. When would you switch to synthetic?
3. When would you first change out your tranny and other fluids?
4.Would you switch your tranny and gear oil to synthetic? If so what brand(s) do you like?
5 Moly seems like a great idea. How/ when/ how often would you add it? And would you add it to all the lube fluids?
I plan on having this truck for a long time and want to treat it right. BTW I live in Boston and I am a carpenter so this will truck will be used both for work and personel use.
