Same thing happened to me, but they lied to me that 0w16 was an acceptable oil grade in this motor. I challenged them to show me one part of the owner's manual that says so and they couldn't. Then they switched up and said they actually put 0w20 in and the invoice was just a typo. I drove...

Ah ok, I see. I will have to buy one when the time comes in a few months. I hope someone releases that service manual again for public purchase. I should have bought myself a copy while I still could, it is very helpful!

Thank you so much man! I was just reading through it and it says to "switch the water control valve to injection control and warm up the engine" but does not describe how to change the mode of the valve. I would imagine you need some kind of dealership computer program to change the position of...

Thank you for the reply. I have that exact tool I used on my Honda Civic with the universal adapters. I was mainly concerned because of the electric coolant control valve on the new motors. I don't know if there is a special procedure to open/close it for refilling. Also, I don't see a radiator...

Hello, I cannot seem to find anything online for the proper procedure to drain and fill coolant on the T24A-FTS. It also seems that Toyota is censoring the factory service manual from the public. I am coming up on 80,000 km in the next year and want to make sure I am doing the proper procedure...

Would you be willing to share the service manual files? They took it down for some reason. I'd be willing to pay a reasonable price for it.

Me personally, I just use the OEM bed mat and any other scratches I don't really worry about because it is a truck after all. The bed will inevitably get scratched and dirty.

5000km intervals for me. It’s a turbocharged engine and needs fresh oil more often because turbos are extremely hard on oil, especially in cold climates (massive heat cycles and temperature ranges). It won’t hurt anything doing it more often, and oil is cheap. Do the filter every time, the...

I regularly work in the northernmost regions of Canada (Nunavut, well into the Arctic circle) and I’ve seen a handful of 4th gens driving around just fine up there. Temperatures regularly drop below -40C during the winter season there. Seems like they just plug in the factory installed block...

Hello, I was reading through the maintenance/warranty manual, and I noticed that it says to lubricate the clutch fork every 5000 miles if driving on dirt/dusty roads. I have a 6MT so I believe this would apply to me. There is a note on this item that says "lubricate within 24 hours after...

My 2012 Civic Si did the exact same thing. It's just the A/C compressor kicking on, which puts load on the engine and the ECU has to compensate by adding more fuel to keep the idle speed the same and not stall out. My gear shifter wobbles when it does this too, but that is probably just rough...

Well when you put it that way...

So I was looking at the used market for these first model year trucks, and came across this posting by a Nissan dealership: https://www.bondysnissan.com/used/Toyota/2024-Toyota-Tacoma-ce51963cac185585f390652a307d3a47.htm The listing page says that it has over 198,000 miles on the truck, and it...

So I was reading through the owner's manual for the European spec Highlander and it says it has the exact same engine as the 2024 Tacoma with the T24A-FTS 2.4L turbocharged 4 cylinder. All engine codes and dimensions seem to match up perfectly. <-- Highlander Engine Type<-- Tacoma Engine Type...
