Purchased last week a 90s Toyota Pickup with 4WD and the 22RE 4 banger.
Truck is in great shape physically, minor rust that im working out and the interior is immaculate.
The motor smokes pretty bad though, I have no idea what kind of oil was used previously only the dates and mileage of when it was changed.
I already switched over to Rotella 5w40 syn with a oversized PureONE Oil filter + 1 Quart of MMO.
Im thinking (seeing how the blue smoke persists) its probably valve seals but I really want to try the following.
Dropping the current fill after 1k and then filling up with 3.5 quarts of the cheapest oil and fresh filter I can buy, and replacing the last quart with B12 Chemtool (Oil Capacity is 4.5 Quarts), idling for say 15-20 minutes and then dumping that and refilling with Mobil 1 High Mileage 15w40.
Drive another 1k, dump that and then refill with Mobil 1 HM 15w40 and add some Kreen, steady that off until things seem good and keep hitting it with the Mobil 1 HM 15w40 and MMO.
Thoughts?
Edited: 22RE has 207xxx miles.
