Let’s be cognizant on understanding oil grades. 0W20 5W20 both are same weight at operating temperature. At cold one is slightly thicker. Tight tolerances, thinner oil is best at start up, especially in areas that have cooler weather. 5W30 10W30 at start up, the 5W30, is the same as a...

So is your suggestion that because Toyota makes these engines for different countries and uses different oil grades in each of the countries that Toyotas engines will last longer in some countries over others if you use the recommended oil for that country?

Think that clearances would matter less given it is true other regions use different grades. I think the whole notion that light oils are used for emissions only are inaccurate. I do believe that operating conditions are a bigger factor. Types of roads dirty/clean, climate, moisture levels in...

If you watch the video it does a good job of explaining

Watch the video.

motor is engineered for 0W20. Not sure why there’s so many hell bent against it. Oil technologies have changed, engine technologies of changed, why apply old school thoughts, just change oil regularly, a video from a couple weeks ago,

This is the tool that should have been used, it has a big rubber ball on it so you can pry against the rim and not damage it.…. Maybe you want to suggest to the store manager he should order a few….. honestly would be surprised if a tire shop didn’t know these existed, if they don’t, may want to...

That’s your answer How it happened. No doubt about it.

I’ll tell you exactly how that happened. When they installed new valves, they likely pried against the side of the rim pulling installing the new valves. Assuming new valves were installed.

Only way is to go into the settings and shut down all of that stuff, then the warnings don’t come on. Typical Toyota with the over informed notifications.

Chances are it’s with the Alpharex headlamps. Aftermarket parts + oddball issues are always place to start. While Alpharex is known to be a good quality, instead of chasing oddball parts not normally an issue, first thing to do is reset everything back to OE, and diagnose from there. You’re not...

In Canada as well, Toyota corporate / brand engagement is equivalent to a bunch of one armed orangutans. 3 trips to the dealer before issue was fixed, that the dealer caused in the first place. Canada needs a lemon law like the US has. that said, I do know this, Toyota corporate automatically...

…says the guy who’s profile photo is half cyborg 😂

So looking like Toyota has released Apple Car Key for the ‘26 RAV4. Any intel from anyone if it’ll get extended to the 4G Tacoma’s? https://9to5mac.com/2026/02/17/car-keys-in-apple-wallet-just-launched-for-a-major-new-automaker/

Pretty sure only OR Premium packages get the card.

Go to Amazon, find a bed step, buy that. They’re likely all coming out of the same factory in china. I got one from Amazon, works fine, gone two seasons through a Canadian winter with salt and sand

….if anyone can search and read on their own.

Phew, the clarification helped. Wasn't sure how to take it, felt you were on the fence :ROFLMAO:

You call it genius - okay. I wouldn't call someone a genius who can not help themselves by doing a a search or doing some reading on their own to see if they can solve a problem. Would rather be spoon fed answers to their problems. Imagine the world we'd live in. Nikola Tesla, Albert Einstein...

Okay, I hear you. I’m an instruction manual / owners manual reader. What you’re saying is better than not reading anything, here’s my next argument, second biggest purchase you make in your lifetime next to a home and you can’t even read the first 10 pages of its owners manual?
