    2018 Tacoma engine noise!! Annoying

    My 2013 has a ticking sound also. But not as bad as that. The dealership never said anything about it. It has always bugged me. I have just over 50k miles on it. Maybe it’s the fuel pump everyone keeps mentioning.

    2013 transmission fluid

    Hopefully! My wife had invited friends over and I was a little distracted and in a hurry. And that darn tranny pan sticks out just begging to be drained. I drive a lot of miles. So it saves me a lot of time and money to do my own maintenance. 412k miles out of a 4Runner. Just got in a hurry...

    2013 transmission fluid

    Ha. That’s what I did. Couldn’t figure out why I had so much oil in there. Thankfully I only drove 1 mile when I realized what I had done.

    2013 transmission fluid

    Yes. No problems. But I had to go buy some tools. It was a somewhat expensive error. I’ve been taking care of maintenance on my cars for almost 40 yrs. That was a first.

    2013 transmission fluid

    It’s automatic. I had some “help” while changing my oil. I screwed up and drained 3.5 qts of tranny fluid instead. Dope! There was some good info posted to my original question. Thanks

    Oil change intervals

    I had a 2004 4Runner. I changed the oil every 10k and the filter every 5k. I only used Castrol syntec. I got 365k miles out of that engine.

    2013 transmission fluid

    I have 50k miles on my 2013. Just changed the oil myself. Pulled out of the driveway only to have my tranny slip in first gear. I can’t figure out how to check the fluid. Anyone know? Here I am sitting on the side of the road. Thanks

    How often do you change your oil?

    They change my sticker every 5k too. What was the mileage?

    How often do you change your oil?

    I would ask them if they are changing the oil every 5k or 10k miles. I bet it's only every 10k. Curious to hear what they tell you.

    How often do you change your oil?

    Two different dealers told me that. I have a 2016 4Runner and a 2017 Camry. Both are still under 25k mile Toyota care. The dealers told me they use Mobil 1 and only change the oil at 10k miles. The 5k Toyota Care is not an oil change I was told. They rotate tires, check fluid levels and hook up...

    How often do you change your oil?

    Toyota is only using Mobil 1 synthetic now. They recommend changing it every 10k miles. They do it on all their vehicles now. I did that with my 2004 4Runner from the very first oil change. Except I changed the filter every 5k. I got 366k miles out of it doing that. Castrol full synthetic is the...

    Need help on tires

    I was running General A/T2 Grabbers on my 4Runner. The first set gave me almost 90k miles. The second set 75k. I've never gotten much more than 50k out of any set of BFG tires. My 2013 Taco has 49k miles on it. Still running the factory BFG tires. I might get 55k out of them. Then I'm putting...

    Favorite thing about your Tacoma???

    Always wanted a Toyota truck. After getting 412k miles out of a 2004 4Runner, a Tacoma was the only way to go. 2013 double cab 4WD

    Brake pulsing

    I had a 2004 4Runner. I drive a lot. I had 412k miles on it when I got rid of it. I had problems with aftermarket brake pads. They appeared to overheat the rotors and warp them. I would only buy pads from Toyota after that. Bought Warner(I think) rotors from OReillys. Toyota was way too high on...

    Tacoma 2010

    I put a Century shell on mine. It's the same shell as a Leer with a little different hardware for less dinero. Nice shell.

    Why did you buy a Tacoma?

    Because in 2013 my 2004 4WD 4Runner had about 300k miles on it. I took it places people didn't think I could get out of with it. I ended up putting 365k on it before it blew a head gasket. Dropped a salvage in it and got another 47k out of it. Reliability and performance. We have a 2013 4WD...

    How Many Miles Do You Have?

    Just got rid of a 2004 4 Runner with 412,000+ on it. Replaced the engine at 365k. Blown head. 48k on my 2013 Taco. Hope to get that many out of it too.

    How many miles a gallon do you get?

    The best I've gotten in my 2013 double cab 4x4 with a fiberglass camper shell is 18.6 mpg. Just drove 200 miles and still have well over half a tank left.
