  1. Oil analysis report - 2026 iForce Max Hybrid engine (~800 miles on oil, total miles ~1500)

    Isn't the lower bound for a 0W-20 oil 6.9 cSt @ 100C? At 6.5 cSt, it looks like this oil sheared down to a 16 grade oil in about 1K miles.
  2. Oil Change Interval. Yes I know it has been covered over and over. My two cents.

    If you're not driving your vehicle 3,000 miles within a 6-month period, chances are that you are short tripping a lot. Short tripping is considered "severe service" in that it's likely that your oil never gets to temp. With that, you have moisture buildup, fuel dilution, oxidation, and other...
  3. Favorite Online Shop for Parts

    It's just a Chinese dropshipper; many of the items they sell are sourced from Alibaba or wherever. People have reported long shipping times (or never getting their orders) and zero customer service.
  4. Favorite Online Shop for Parts

    For OEM parts, I like Sparks Toyota - especially during a sales event. They usually have some of the best prices around, free shipping, and because I'm out of state, no tax. I have a few parts in my wishlist ready to go for Black Friday. For aftermarket accessories, I usually buy direct from...
  5. What did you do to your 6th Gen 4Runner today?? 👨🏻‍🔧 🧰 🛠

    Thanks! A little shocked by these prices - I had assumed that a transmission drain and fill would be about $500-$600ish. Good to know.
  6. DIY leveling platform with storage

    Looks really good!
  7. What did you do to your 6th Gen 4Runner today?? 👨🏻‍🔧 🧰 🛠

    How much did these run you? Transmission pan drop and service Front differential fluid change Rear differential fluid change Transfer case fluid change I plan to change my ATF at 30K (then every ~50K thereafter), and front/rear diff fluids and transfer case fluid at 15K (then 30K, 80K, etc)...
  8. [Photo(s) Requested] 265/70/17 and 255/70/17 Tires

    Hi guys, I'm sure there is only a small difference between 255/70/17 and 265/70/17 tires, but if you have either of these tire sizes on your rigs, can you post photos here? Would be useful to see
  9. Annoying Lens and Piano Black Scratches

    Funny, the ScreenTechPro kit was the very first thing I installed when I returned home from the dealer. 35 miles on the clock
  10. What are people actually paying for their 4Runners right now?

    I don't recall if I've posted my experience in this thread, but I went to through the Costco Auto Program and it saved me $3400 off the MSRP of my SR5, which is roughly 7.5%. No haggling, I just told them what I wanted and they returned to me with a proposed vehicle and the price-sheet. I...
  11. 2027 4Runner Order Guide out yet?

    Why not post your post from the other place here? ;)
  12. Adding Service Records through the Toyota Dashboard

    I add my self-service oil changes, for fun
  13. Undercoating Complete! NHOU Permanent Boss Wax System Applied. Work done by Mass Mobile Undercoating in Holden, MA

    Looks good. I've never heard of the stuff either but it's probably Dinitrol 4941, like mine. My undercoater called it their "Citadel" line or something like that...
  14. Drive shaft (propellar shaft) grease zerk fittings - 4WD (TRD ORP)

    I imagine the answer is "yes," but does anyone know if the this grease from Amsoil will be good for both the u-joints and slip yokes? I buy a bunch of stuff from Amsoil and if this is just as good (or better) than anything else out there for this purpose, I figure I'd like to stick with Amsoil.
