determine OEM replacement cost, subtract 20%...ish

$2500 in scam junk. Almost never go with dealer applied protection of any kind. They either don't put it on at all, don't put it on correctly, or it's complete garbage of a product. Not to mention, they're probably charging 10x what it costs...

Yes, it does, but It mentions nothing about changing the hot oil temperature viscosity from 20 to 30 though. While changing to a 5W 20 may not incur warranty void instances, I would be surprised that OEM would not take that opportunity to say this is on the owner just in order to not pay for a...

I’m extremely surprised a dealership authorized you switching to 5w30. Did they provide this in writing and indicate any “damage” caused by the oil switch would still be covered?

0.8 mpg… still not worth it

Remove the air dam. It doesn't do anything and it has a habit of falling off...

You can them straight from the company website or amazon. Go to the website to determine which one you need first, as there are different applications

Chatgpt is a great source to pit oil brands/viscosities against each other to determine a best case scenario for your location and driving habits. I've found it helpful in discussing different viscosities and oci's with regard to uoa results. Might be worth a few minutes to discuss with an AI if...

Why would either of those need to be done at those intervals? Seems awfully short.

The air sam isn’t worth it. I tossed mine in the recycle as soon as I got home from the dealer. Two retaining tabs had already fallen out by that point though. Zero negative affect on mpg.

I did mine in the garage, with the rear wheels outside the garage and down the 1.5-2" elevation change from the garage to the driveway. No jacks were necessary. I'm 6'4 220 for reference...

I did my first change. I'll also do all the following changes. I'm not concerned with them doing the 10/20k services, unless I specifically tell them NOT to change the oil. I don't trust the dealer, plus, I installed a fumoto drain valve. I know the mechs will find some way to screw that up...

I went with their 0w20 hybrid blend. We’ll see if their emulsifier claim is accurate or not.

He also made mention of using the factory designated oil. His reasoning is that the pump/computer is configured to run on the specified viscosity with attention to psi and flow rate. If that were true, this would call into question the 0w20 vs 0w30vs 5w30 debate

Yes, really. Let’s create a software safety system that allows drivers to become even more zoned out on the road. Heaven forbid people take accountability…

Why were you running 45psi? Isn’t the rating for those tires 33-35? Could you feel the ants you ran over?

Absolutely hate, loathe and despise lane assist. Turned off within minutes of ownership. I have zero problems maintaining lane position. Why is this even a thing?

Regarding the second row seats, they probably thought it would be easier access for passengers to get to the third row seats. But, who the F gets the third row seats in a Fing 4runner??? Get a sequoia if you need more seating… Huge design fail that only accommodates what, 1 or 2% of 4runner buyers?

Size of a soul with the price of a land cruiser…
