More dealers, shops and parts stores are being informed about oil supply shortages...with guidance about using suitable substitutions, including mixing viscosity grades and/or going up a grade. They never mention going down viscosity grades tho lol.

Is 75w-90 ok to use ?

Dennis says ! 😂

@saerandy shouldn't your 100c viscosity be at least over 8 cst to be in grade for 0w20? At least your fuel dilution is under 1 (% I'm assuming).

Hmmm...the 0w20 sheared out of grade...? What have we been shouting from the roof tops, but nobody listens. My bet is that mr speed will be putting 5w30 in his Tacoma post 10k miles.

Translated: My Experience with the 2025 TRD Off-Road Premium 6M/T I want to share my honest experience with my 2025 Tacoma TRD Off-Road Premium (manual transmission) in Bronze Oxide. To be honest, here are the weak points: The gas tank is too small! The range is clearly insufficient for a...

I have the genuine TRD skid plate, bought from my local dealer for $769 all in. Is the Garage 88 a copy or OEM? If it's a copy...man it looks identical !! I like the black option too

Excellent write up, thanks for sharing. Very similar process to the second gen Tundra. I'm hoping to be able to do the cooler line pump/flush when the time comes. Although removing the pan and replacing that filter is the proper way. Again, thanks for sharing !

Had an f150 ecoboost that I took in to ford for misfire, CEL, and low power (compression). Turned out the issue was a plugged catalytic converter...from a leaking injector(s). Anyways, ford covered the repair under the emissions warranty, but also informed me that my K&N oiled filter was...

@Carolina Buckeye ....23.6 mpg?? For me that's under 10L/100km. Impressive, if true. Were you going downhill both ways?? LOL

I would absolutely do a UOA but finding it difficult to source a place to do it. If you're in the Edmonton area...I think you have some local options... @DENNISD dude, if this thread and it's posts trigger you that much, and you have to beat your chest with jugs of 0w20 in protest of us using...

Changed my oil a week ago, and this time went with M1 EP 5w30 as I had some to use up. Previously was using Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 5w30. I have to say, truck seems to run better and smoother on the M1 !! My fuel mileage has also increased. Placebo effect? Idk! But I’m thinking I might...

@PNWkip I think I’ll still have to lower my TRD skid plate to access the drain port…access is tight.

Just did an oil change on my truck and the drain plug was not even finger tight! Kinda scary. I don’t use a torque wrench on the plug but I usually tighten it quite well, and an extra crank for good measure. What I’ve found last two oil changes is the “Amazon” chinesium gaskets basically...

Just over a year and 10k kms….my honest take as a first time Tacoma owner…prior long time 2nd gen Tundra owner and current long term owner of non-Toyota full size half and HD trucks… Dislikes: -fuel economy, range, and tank size is pathetic. Seriously, most half tons today will get the same or...

Specific to the non-scoop hood…does anyone else notice their hood having a large shallow divet, about 10-12 inches from the front edge in the middle. Can only see it during certain light reflections…but it’s visible. On my truck it’s been there since new, and I’ve noticed other trucks have it...

9600km (~6000 miles). Bought Feb 15 2025. Late production 2024 truck

@oxi but why Lowe’s specifically? Lol

@Will721 I will admit…I’ve never used Pennzoil before, until the last oil change and switch to 5w30. Always been a Mobil 1 diehard, have used it for years in many different vehicles and equipment…never any issues with those engines. What got me with the Pennzoil Ultra Platinum is it’s a...
