We desperately need some tests proving the thicker oil is better for the engine that requires 0w-20, eg cooler oil temps (thicker oil btw will run hotter) and less wear particles. So far I haven't seen anything of that nature. Its just a dart against the wall.
"I used thicker oil and nothing...
Congrats!
Your trim comes with almost everything you need, keep it OEM+ unless you really have a need.
A few things you may want to consider:
Break in oil change, yes modern engines break in proven with oil analysis. If you dont care then skip.
Frame rust protection especially if you live in...
Ive seen a few move it to the back bumper. So it can be done, however there's many tradeoffs to be made.
Blocking camera, overhang, higher cg. Possibly worse departure angle. Relocate the rear plate. Longer vehicle for parking, swing out gets annoying opening the rear. Aesthetically ugly and...
Unfortunate, I think its a bit too much for touchup paint to look good. But you can try! Double check the color code on the paint is correct, shake it up very well. It looks very runny. Apply a very thin layer and wait at least 10 mins to dry before the 2nd coat. 2-3 coats is enough. Apply the...
Please let us know your findings. I'd like to know if this is consistent across others.
In regards to the "on" vs "off" for [daytime running lights], I'm not sure. Until I turned it off, Ive never had DRL working properly. I generally don't have mine on Auto.
There's 2 fuse boxes in the engine bay and one under the glove box area. The one directly in front of the of the driver (engine bay) has plenty of spots. Not sure about the glove box one, haven't looked inside.
I checked a couple of the empty fuses that do have power. But have a line across...
Question for those that changed to trd pro wheels. Can you reuse the tpms from your 18" wheels from Trd off-road wheels? And purchase new valve stems you linked above (without tpms).
Also any notice in difference with road noise or mpg?
Im talking about the daytime running lights at the center. Not the LED strip copied over from Audi from 2012.
I can't post my pic to show you. For some reason it wont let me. Happened multiple times. Its only 180 kB...
Ok I found a fix.
1 Set the Knob switch to parking lights. The one right after Auto
2. In the infotainment screen go to your Toyota menu (not your android auto or carplay)
3. Navigate to Settings, Vehicle Customization, Lights
4. In the Lights menu, you'll see "Daytime running lights". Turn...
I like to day extrapolate and pretend it sounds like a diesel engine when running in direct injection mode.
In regards to 93 vs 87. If you run top tier fuel (which you should) it has beneficial additives. 93 on some brands have even more additives to help further reduce engine deposits/wear...
I guess why not? Its cheap, its designed for that engine and oil. Why risk going to something different? If its insufficient I can see maybe why. Changing a variable you'll need to prove it sufficiently works first. I don't think any of us have the equipment to test that.
