My Canadian owners manual states 60,000km so I figured I would abide by it. It was $250 CAD for all four from a dealership. There weren’t any cheaper options unfortunately, but with all the fake parts out there I wouldn’t mess around too much with aftermarket stuff anyways.

I just did my spark plugs on my 2024 Tacoma TRD OR 6MT at 60,000km. Here is how the old plugs looked. Do these look OK for 60k? To me they look healthy and seem like they could go for another 60k no problem...

I use Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 0w20 and have run used oil analysis showing minimal (below average) levels of wear metals. I live where it gets to -40C regularly for 7 months of the year so a thinner oil suits my use case better. Starting an engine with 5w30 in those temperatures results in no...

I just did my front and rear diffs at 50,000 km. I used 75w90 and my truck exploded the next day, don't do it guys. Just kidding, its been working perfectly. The heavier weight doesn't make a difference whatsoever and its substantially cheaper where I live. It cost more than I thought having to...

Ha that’s 35000 eagles per football field for y’all down south

Since we are coming up on exactly 2 years of the 4th gen being available on the dealer lots, I am curious who has the most miles on theirs! I am at 57,000km and absolutely love mine!

I have the same issue. I live in Northern Central Canada, and I frequently short trip my truck (less than 15 min drives) in -30C and below to get to work. I have noticed that my oil level is about 1/4" above the full line when cold after driving it for a few weeks. I change my oil every 5000km...

Hello, I am posting this because I am wondering if anyone else has had this sound happen when rotating the shifter in their manual Tacoma. It seems to only happen below freezing when the truck is cold, and when the transmission warms up the free play and sound goes away. The transmission shifts...

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...
