  1. Who's had their 6th gen for a year now? What do you love/hate?

    All 6th gen 4Runners have LED headlights
  2. Weird Oil Leak

    I’ve yet to notice anything like this on my 4Runner, but my sprinter leaked oil/melted wax looking stuff from inside body panels. It’s cavity wax in the case of sprinters, maybe something similar for the 4Runners!
  3. What Brand Motor Oil Do You Use In Your 6th Gen?

    I agree SQ satisfies ILSAC 7 and therefore 6A if it is of a viscosity that ILSAC certifies, which 0W-30 is. But, this bottle doesn’t state the oil satisfies API SQ. It states that it satisfies API SQ engine test requirements, which is a portion of the spec. I’m not commenting on whether or not...
  4. What Brand Motor Oil Do You Use In Your 6th Gen?

    It's a fine oil, but for those who are wondering: Meeting/exceeding API S{N,P,Q} engine test requirements does not mean it meets/exceed the full API S{N,P,Q} specification. For example, you can pass engine tests without conforming to the formulation/additive requirements of the specification...
  5. What Brand Motor Oil Do You Use In Your 6th Gen?

    Thats Mobil 1 AFE (Advanced Fuel Economy) 0w-20, which is indeed ILSAC GF-6A.
  6. What Brand Motor Oil Do You Use In Your 6th Gen?

    First, there is some confusion here. All ILSAC GF‑6A oils meet API SP, but not all API SP oils meet GF‑6A. ILSAC takes an API SP–approved product and adds its license only if the oil also meets the resource-conserving/energy-conserving (fuel economy) requirements. So GF‑6A is essentially "API...
  7. What Brand Motor Oil Do You Use In Your 6th Gen?

    There would be Agreed. Notably, Mobil 1 ESP is not ILSAC GF-6A. Neither licensed nor does it make any claims to meet the spec. - A licensed (Starburst) GF-6A oil: fully satisfies the manual, and self-documenting if anything goes wrong. Zero downside on the spec question. - An oil that “meets”...
  8. Any updates on OEM 2.5" TRD Suspension Lift?

    “Tire inch up mode” column is very interesting… maybe this is how they can adjust for new tire diameters independent of this particular suspension upgrade? In other threads it’s been implied there is no calibration possible for diameter changes…
  9. Alarm Randomly Going Off

    Where is the other key fob!
  10. How's your Toyota paint job holding up?

    UV protection from ceramic is indeed debatable. It's one of the massively oversold marketing claims; it's not that a couple microns of coating can't block/reduce any UV, but the UV protective nature of it is incredibly miniscule. Clearcoat itself is far more protective from UV. There are also...
  11. How's your Toyota paint job holding up?

    PPF/ceramic is a lot like motor oil viscosity/brand or interval debates. Everyone has their opinion, there is no universal truth. The "right" answer for someone is specific to their own preconceptions, superstitions, and goals.
  12. What's one thing every 4Runner owner should keep in their vehicle at all times?

    The UV function is fun too, I've never had a flashlight with it. Would've been GREAT back when I lived in the AZ desert. Love hunting for scorpions with UV. They glow!
  13. Father’s Day Toyota Sale

    So, what dealership had the 33% discount?
  14. Sport Premium compared to Off-Road Premium

    Any 4wd trim of any 4runner is incredibly capable from factory. Take off the air dam, and get an AT tire, and bam it's no longer street-oriented, it's off-road oriented.
  15. What's one thing every 4Runner owner should keep in their vehicle at all times?

    Love fenix! And for a good flashlight I’m partial to my my olight ark pro ultra edc!
  16. How's your Toyota paint job holding up?

    My underground paint is great after 2500 miles. But so far I’ve only touchless washed it, no direct contact lol. It is a flat color, no flake or anything, so I expect it to show scuffs, scratches, and swirls more than other colors, not because of “weakness” of the paint relative to the other...

  18. Feelings on Paint Protection Film PPF: Good or Bad?

    Not worth it for me on something like a 4Runner
  19. Real World MPG by Owners (gas non-hybrid 4Runner) - Post Yours ⛽️

    I've been averaging 19.5mpg over ~2500 mi on 265/60R20 terra grappler g3s @33psi on my limited. A little worse than expected. But probably only around 10% freeway, so that's probably the culprit.
  20. Drive Mode and Auto-Start/Stop - How to configure?

    On my limited gas, I’ve learned the art of just not pushing the brake pedal hard enough to trigger ASS once you’re at a stop. I don’t even have to think about it anymore. The engine only stops if you apply an excessive amount of force to the brake pedal _after_ coming to a stop. A little thing...
