Hey guys,
My wife drives a 19 4runner with the 4.0 v6. They are known to be fairly durable engines but I've not seen many UOAs on them. Are they fairly easy on oil or are those long timing chains tough on the lube? Just curious as the owners manual makes room for heavier grades in sever service and of course overseas.
Id like to shoot for a 10k oci...UOA verified...but i don't want to get into the same situation as a couple people i know with GM 3.6l mills that killed their timing chains doing the 10k routine.
