in any case, the longer i can go before i have to be under the truck screwing with all the skidplates and stupid canister filter the happier i am!

But...there are also data indicating that TBN depletion is not linear...it's also heavily engine dependent. As a normally aspirated non turbo engine, our 4Runners are very easy on oil.
