I have been useing an oversized Fram XG 3600 on my "06" V6 Toyota 4Runner for a few oil changes now and I was wondering what the thoughts on the Fram XG are? I run it for about 8,000 miles with a quality synthetic oil PP or Shell.
Oversized Fram XG ?

FRAM XG advertises good for 10K mile OCIs.

You should be good. Cut one open sometime and post up some photos.

I would never run my 4Runner past 5000 miles on any oil. I would be afraid of screwing up the VVT system. But the oil filter will do it.

What oil filter is the Tacoma "supposed" to take? the 3614?
Not sure what the standard model numeber is but I do recall the size is quite a bit smaller.

For 2005+ Tacoma with 4.0L V6.
Fram XG3614 - smaller one that is specified by Fram
Fram XG3600 - larger version
XG3614 = 3.34" long
XG3600 = 4.92" long

I will say that the XG 3600 holds quite a bit of oil when I remove it. I will cut one open next change and post some pix.
The shorter filter is a 3614.
