    Oil change question

    I change mine everytime the service light comes on the dash. For me, that's every 4500-5000 miles. I use a quality 0w-20 and a OEM Toyota filter

    Coolant Leak?? Cross-over pipe on 3.5l V-6

    Yes... The cross-over pipe was redesign or modified twice in an effort to solve this problem.

    Coolant Leak?? Cross-over pipe on 3.5l V-6

    True!! Talked to the service/parts guy.. Toyota updated the cross-over pipe and o-rings twice (two different part number revisions). Maybe they will issue a recall?? Only time will tell.

    Coolant Leak?? Cross-over pipe on 3.5l V-6

    Just got my truck back from the dealer. New cross-over pipe and o-ring gaskets. The cab had to be lifted off the frame to get access to this part. In all $1000 in total...

    coolant loss

    Well... I got the truck back today. Took three days and they had to lift up the cab to acess the back of the engine to replace the plastic cross-over and the o-ring seals Since the trick had 103,000 miles on it, I also had the serpentine drive belt replaced too. Total bill was 1000 bucks...

    coolant loss

    Once I retire in a few years, I want to go farther up into Quebec. I currently fish White Lake, Ontario, just west of Ottawa. It's a 450 mile trip from my home in NE Pennsylvania.

    coolant loss

    I feel the same way. Just could not get it done today. The dealer did not have one of the o-rings in the replacement part kit??? Kinda pisses me off that the truck is down another day. However, I want it fixed right since I will be traveling p north to Ontario a few times this summer.

    What did you do with your Taco today

    Dropped of my 2017 Tacoma 3.5l V-6 at the local dealer coolant cross-over pipe/gasket under the intake manifold is leaking coolant. Noticed this while adding Toyota OEM running boards/nerf bars to my truck.

    2021 TRD sport alloys on my 2017 SR5?

    The local dealer mentioned this too. They just advised I will need to purchase or reprogram the TPS sensors.

    Jaw drop oil change

    54 bucks sounds fair. I change mine myself for around 40 bucks for oil and filter. I believe the local dealer near me is charging 100 bucks for this service
