    Exhaust

    Reminds me of my oldest son... Hey dad... You need to get a Cat-back exhaust and an K&N intake for your Tacoma!! I'd rather spend the money on a few days of fishing up at White Lake, Ontario :)

    Element change on Tacoma? What is that!?

    I own a 2017 Tacoma SR-5 double cab 4x4 3.5l V-6.. I never have anyone change my oil since a local Toyota dealer forgot to re-tighten the oil filler cap on my 2002 Tundra ( back in the early 2000's). My brother had a deal charge him extra during one of those "life-time" free oil changes during...

    New to the site and to Tacomas.

    Welcome.. From NE Pennsylvania (Pocono Mts.)!! This will not be your last Toyota truck. I owned an 2001 Tundra SR5 and a 2009 Tacoma SR5... Quick question: How do you like those Cooper AT3 tires?? Thinking about getting a set for my 2017 Tacoma SR5 (my current truck) in 245/75-16??

    What kind of Guns do you have?

    I have a very basic Dillon AT-500 (purchased back in 1995) and have reloaded most of my ammo that I shoot. Great press and company, I finally wore out the part that seat the primers... Dillon sent me the complete assembly "free of charge"!! Cannot say enough "good things" about Dillon Precision...

    What kind of Guns do you have?

    Sold off most of my firearms due to a pending divorce. However, I kept my AR "budget build" rifle... basically a flat top M4 copy with Yankee Hill Machine flip-up sights and a Meprolight M21 sight. The rifle looks like the M4s used by the IDF (Israeli Defense Force). For a side-arm, Ruger...

    What did you do with your Taco today

    I wanted to "sling some lead" with my AR rifle. Local gun club and PA state gameland shooting range are both closed. Might just shampoo the carpets and give the inside a good spring cleaning.

    Oil Brand

    I have used Mobil 1 before with great results. In fact, I owned a 2008 Honda FIT that I used Honda OEM oil filters and Mobil 1 Extended Performance oil.. never had any oil consumption and this car ran great. My wife drives a 2017 Subaru Outback and my both my sons use Castrol Edge in their...

    Oil Brand

    Currently using Shell Rotella Gas Truck in my 17 Tacoma. I used Mobil 1 for a few oil changes and noticed about a 1/8 to 1/4 quart oil lose between intervals with Mobil 1. I do not have this problem with Shell Rotella Gas Truck. I also use a Toyota TRD oil filter... seems much better made...

    Frame Rust with Gen 3 Tacomas??

    I think this noticed applies to rust-belt states in the NE part of the United States. If Reno has nasty winters this could apply.

    Tacoma Engine Oil

    As long as the oil meets the specs. of the engine you will be fine. I believe Walmart and Amazon have Warren mfg. supply them with oil. Same company that makes MAG1. I ran Walmart 5w-30 Synthetic in my 2011 GMC Canyon and never had any issues. Seemed to work great in that truck.

    Nothing wrong with changing early. Oil is cheaper than engines:)

    oil change

    Local mechanic that owns both a Tundra and Tacoma (he just serviced my trans with fresh Toyota WS fluid) uses Castrol Edge 0w-20 in both of his trucks. I asked him about Amsoil and I was thinking about switching over to Amsoil Signature 0w-20.Both of us agreed that it's not a good idea to...

    Oil change question

    Yes... Change your oil at every other service light. My 2017 Tacoma gets fresh oil and a TRD oil filter about every 8-9000 miles. If you are using a quality Synthetic 0w20 oil that meets Toyota specs you are good to go!! I'm using Shell Rotella Gas Truck 0w-20 with great results.
