I am planning to do the same upgrade. Why can't alignment tech pull out camber? I seen a thread on here where there is 3 options of alignment to load in the alignment machine to match your setup. See if you can search this, it may help you. If so please let us know what you had to do to...

Wow? Evaporation?

Data drives all my decisions and not tribal knowledge or what someone says to do. Not to be ugly but 65k truck will be in my inventory for 300K miles or more. There is a reason why it's $20 .

The oil to use is Driven DI20 do you're research. Two things, sheer stability (is the oil still in grade) wear rate additive package.

Outstanding and intelligent. Many guys on here say they have had many vehicles and logged thousands of miles with no issues. I don't hear any saying how much oil is consumed between changes though. Excellent job here. This is the difference between an engine sealed "rings" and one that's not.

Your filter will NOT filter out all the metal in the engine. Total metal count, oxidation value, and partical size etc are done through oil analysis. Until you do this and learn, you'll only learn through tribal knowledge.

Show us the data. Listen carefully. If you do not break in the engine properly, it doesn't mean it will blow up or perform bad. It means the engine piston rings will seal good which means you have a truck that's going to burn oil. How much determines on how bad the seal is. If you don't mind...

Yeah, you should do exactly like the manual and this cat. Wow? 10,000 mile oil changes with all that metal floating around? Criminal and I have the data to prove it if you want to contact me off line. I'll show you how to get you oil analysis done and let the data determine when the engine is...

Strongly disagree with taking it easy on the new engine. No towing for sure, however, you must seat the piston rings and you have only one shot at doing it correctly. The rings must be push out to the cylinder walls. This can only happen under load such as a dyno simulation. Cylinder pressure...

Your truck is double cab and short bed, correct? If so these will fit my truck and I'll buy them.

Perhaps the guy on the internet could helped Toyota solve the Trundra engine recall? Must have only spent millions on that engine program. Billions, yeah billions would have prevented that failure. The other guy on the internet is only a NASCAR tribologist that developed the lubrication...

Alright my last ditch effort here. Your 4th gen has a turbo. This will likely be the fist failure over time. For all doing the 10k oil changes please post your engine health status as you get to high miles. I would love to be wrong.

That's not break-in oil. That's off the shelf 0-W20 Toyota oil. I changed it myself. My point is 5K oil changes do NOT pass data. Most everyone here in this conversation can only give tribal knowledge and opinions. That's okay, but this forum for me is to learn from all of you. When we are...

Here you go. In just 2,300 miles my Toyota 0-w20 was out of grade. Read the bottom of the 1st page of my oil analysis.

Sorry man, you just don't get it? That's okay, it's your money.

Yes it will. It causes windage issues in the oil pan. That's why full is full. Windage kills hp and fuel economy.

This is Lake Speed Jr. His father was a NASCAR racer for years and JR worked for Joe Gibbs Racing and developed their lubrication program. He also developed Driven racing oil product. I use Driven DI20 in my truck thanks to this guy. I highly recommend everyone to do exactly what he says to do...

After the first 396 miles I conducted multiple dyno simulations driving in manual up hill and full rpm red line. You must be smooth on the throttle just as if you were in the dyno room. Frequency was 2-3 times per week until the 2700 mile mark. I let oil analysis determine when I stop this. I...

Here is my last two changes. Notice the first change was 396 miles, column to the right. Fuel dilution much better and contributed to proper driving to seat the rings.

True, however, we all have low tension piston rings. You get only 1 chance to break in the engine correctly, seat the rings. The piston rings and cylinder bore surface is where the engine life happens. All great information and why I joined this community. I know this can get in the weeds but...
