Hi all...long time member, but I've been away for a while busy with too many other things. Thought I'd chime back in and get some advice.
I just bought a used 99 Toyota Tacoma SR5 ext cab with the 3.4L V6, std tranny, 4wd. It won't be a daily driver, just weekend work, occasional trips to town and work, nothing too heavy.
First off, what oil and filter combo would you recommend? I've been using PP 5W-20 on my newer vehicles, but this one being older is going for 5W-30 to 10W-30. I don't know what it has in it at present. I used TropArtic 5W-30 on my older Nissan Frontier, but it was a 4cyl.
Also, does anyone have any information in general about this engine? Quality, reliability, known issues, recommendations, hidden benefits? Also good reading sources and places to research are welcome.
Thanks and it's good to be back in the foal!
