Outstanding results on your 4Runner. The most oil that I've put in for an oil change is 6 quarts with no add during OCI. If I may ask....What size and make oil filter do you use on your 4Runner?
Thanks
Thanks

My truck has a remote filter adapter that uses a full size Ford Filter. FL1A, Wix 51515 etc. With that setup it holds 6 1/2-7 quarts.

Not to burst your bubble but the 3.4L takes 5.8 qrts...even with an oversized filter 6 qrts will take you slightly past the full mark.

Not to burst your bubble, but as stated, my truck has a remote filter adapter and uses a large Ford filter. I put 7 quarts in it every time I change the oil and it's about 1/3 quart over the full mark when I do.
I've done the same thing for about 90K miles now. Maybe the quarts they sell in the midwest are smaller?

Why run such a thick oil? Ive done a few runs with GC. Butt performance didnt like it. AFE is pretty good.

A agree this engine doesn't need a thick oil. I only tried the CC because it was the BITOG flavor of the month at the time. I was underwhelmed with it in everything I tried it in. I certainly wouldn't scour Autozone shelves reading labels to to find it.
I bought up all the 0W-30 M1R I could find. On closeout it was cheap and it obviously works well. The only reason I mix a quart of 15W-50 in with it is because I had a gallon of it around and wanted to use it up.
Have you done any UOA's on your 3.4 using AFE?
