When I came to an intersection and the yellow line veered to the left for a left turn lane, the piece of shit took me into oncoming traffic and slammed on the brakes. Safety feature my ass! Wondering, if my insurance company takes this for a ride, will they still cover it?

Looks like we all spent 50+ thousand dollars for a vehicle we don't own. I never dreamed all this safety bullshit was on my 2025 4Runner. Had I known, I would never have bought it. Buyer beware I guess. I turned off everything I could and also remover the fuse to the DCM. Problem is, the auto...

I removed the fuse to the DCM. It's in the fuse block under the glove box. Center row of fuses, the last one in the line, closest to the motor. Easily done. I don't care about what it provides, but, I do care about who gets that information. Big brother knows to much already. After removal, I...

I live in Pennsylvania. I kind of off road every day in the pothole raised pavement capitol of the United States. Not to mention the tar they use to fill cracks in the asphalt. Rt 5 along lake Erie shoreline feels like a rumble strip. Do you think 2.5s would help?

Questionable??? Any other opinion on this?>

Isn't it proven that most engine wear is at start up.

Very funny. Other oil is permissible in an emergency however it should be changed back to 0W-20 at the earliest chance.

Where did you get that information? I'm asking because my Daughter is currently in Frankfort, Germany. She checked for me and the Toyota oil in Germany recommender for the 2025 4Runner iForce 4L turbo engine is 0W-20.

After break-in, about 15K miles, I'll switch to Super Tech 5W-20 forever. Change it every 6mo or 3k miles. I doubt it will see 3K miles in 6 Mo, but it will be changed every 6 mo. Until 15K, oil will be changed every 6 Mo./3K using Toyota oil 0W-20. Probably take 3 years.

My thought, as long as it lasts until you sell it. Hopefully it will not take a crap for you while on the interstate.

There is so much misinformation out there a person get's confused. After reading just about everything I can find, I'll stick with 0W-20 for warranty but because of the turbo, it will be changes every 3K miles. I did change it at 626 miles and is looked like tar. At 1500 miles it was also very...

What is recommended?

After failing to fix it 3 times, you should have threatened to lemon law it. It did qualify after 3 failed attempts. My wife did so with a Denali that had a terrible mold smell and the same battery issue.

Toyota guy always recommends follow the manufacturer's recommendation. The motor oil geek, Speed, took his truck back to the dealer. Said he wanted them to change it for warranty purposes, especially after seeing the contamination others found. There are videos of owners finding machining chips...

Face it. Everything today is overpriced plastic junk. Wish I had taken better care of my 55 chevy and 69 corvette.
