    26 months. No errors. This comes into play only for briefs periods at engine startup and shutdown.

    Any of you on Reddit may have already seen this. but I changed my oil on my truck yesterday for its 15k oil change. I totally forgot my blackstone oil sample kit at home in my rush to leave but I thought, ah no big deal, its only at 15k miles, and I doubt there's anything to worry about wear wise. Boy was I wrong once I cracked open the oil filter canister... My last oil change was performed at one of the local dealerships (that did get better reviews than a lot of the other ones in my area). Really just disappointing that the simple job of making sure you use the right filter is so hard for a lube tech.

    Also, do not change your oil every 15k miles, poor engine, even if the manual or oil brand says it. You will have all sorts of issues down the line. Oil gets acidic over time and will eat up and corrode seals. Its a marketing gimmick. Toyota engines will last forever if you change oil every 3-5k miles. Take care of your baby, you paid a lot for it.

    not sure what part of my post made you think its been 15k miles since the last oil change. The toyota dealer changed my oil at 10k, and I was changing it at 15 since its easy and the dealership only wants to change the oil at the 10k mark.

    Well thats good to hear. I assumed because you mentioned you said you did the 15k mile oil change. My friend works at the dealer and tells me the horror stories when people change oil at 10k miles.

    I believe it! especially if you happened to get the wrong filter installed! Probably explains why my oil was so much darker after 5k than it was for the last oil change.

    So I just got off the phone with the manager of the service department and he and his manager went down to look at their inventory. What they found was that they had over 15 filters that were mislabeled by toyota. They had YZZA5 on the box but the filters were clearly the A1's. They pulled all those filters out, sent them to the part department to get in touch with toyota about this and called some customers who may have gotten the wrong filter so they can fix that mistake and thanked me for bringing this to their attention as they wouldn't have known otherwise. Maybe he was blowing smoke up my backside but I hope he was being sincere as this is one of the best rated service departments in the area.

    Agree, very clean and looks great!
    Did you pull off the TDR or tape around it. This is going to be my next "upgrade" and I was thinking of doing the same with the titanium silver to match my wheels.

    Finally got around to installing the Halo 9 and removing the Kenwood.

    Gonna see how this floating screen trend works out for me.

    The letters are held on with some sort of adhesive so I taped around them. Titanium silver sounds great, hope to see some pics!

    Not quite sure. I have to let my wallet get over the shock. Lol. This is the most expensive vehicle I have ever purchased. But I am thinking of putting the bronze 40th edition wheels on it first. Give it that Taco trail edition color combo.

    After 5 years of owning the 4Runner the battery finally gave up the ghost. It was 7 degrees Friday morning and came out to a dead batter

    upload_2022-12-18_8-39-25.jpg

    Decided to go with a AGM because of the winch and the week long camping trips.


    upload_2022-12-18_8-39-44.jpg

    For some reason I could not keep the terminal clamps and the battery bracket from getting corrosion. I constantly cleaned them, used felt pads and battery terminal protector spray. Cleaned everything off and paint the bracket since it was down to bare metal
