Just wanted to share: a 120 miles road trip witj 60 miles one way, highway driving between 60 and 75 mph, mostly flat, 25orp, got 24.3 mpg on the trip. I was really happy abt it.
Thanks for the tips and the pics from your vehicles engine. I am now looking to reach out to Toyota brand engagement center as per the warranty manaul. Seems like, that would be the next step for me and will share any updates on this forum. Best of luck to me🤞🏼

I may. But what concerns me is that i feel this is a poorly designed and quality of material by Toyota? How to clean off this salt from engine bay without messing up electrical?
So far the only thing going well with 25 ORP is the ride. Love that! With only 6k miles, don’t expect so much rusting in the engine area and under. Pls see pics. An utter disappointment in Toyota! Also see the road salt stains splashing all the way up the engine area. Any comments will be...
I have ORP. Happens only on front passenger over bumps, stops and real obvious making a right turn. Freaking sucks to have to put up with such an expensive vehicle and quite a few quality issue from bad fenders, bad brakes and now thia. No matter what others may say about this noise bcs of cold...
