Am I the only one that buys their mobil 1 at walmart and then takes it to the dealership to have it changed?! It's $17 for the filter and labor. I do this for my wife's new SI also...

I've actually started thinking about just running the standard Mobil 1 again, but I haven't decided. Walmart just lowered the price on Mobil 1 in the 5 quart jug (from $22.94 to $19.96 here in Oklahoma). The extended performance Mobil 1 is $26.XX for the 5 quart jug. So do you guys just tell...

I switched to mobil 1 at 1k miles. The 'break-in' oil just has some added lubricant, which probably doesn't even have the lubricity and heat resistance of Mobil 1. My 4Runner has 75k right now, and my engine is literally as quiet and runs as good as when it had 1,000 miles on it. I run the...

According to my owners manual, if you have the v-6, it recommends 75w-90 in both front and rear diffs. If you have the v-8, it recommends 75w-90 in the front and straight SAE90 in the rear. It seems like every thread I've read stated people were just using 75/90 in both. Any thoughts on this?

That's funny you started this thread, because I am needing to do both diffs and the transfer case. I searched around town for some synthetic gear oil such as redline, and all I can find is Lucas. Lucas is excellent, super high quality oil, but very expensive. Lucas lubricants are notorious...

The Wheels!! They are better looking IMHO. I think the 17" sr5 and limited wheels look a little "flat". The sport wheels appear to be deeper dish. I like the scoop as wel...

I agree...clearance means everything.

This may be old news, but it sure makes me proud to be a 4-runner owner, and doesn't hurt the resale value of my truck either ;): . See the 'runner on there anywhere?!:D J.D. Power and Associates 2004 award summary: Toyota 4-Runner...

I'm not sure what they are , and my window sticker does not say (it just says dealer installed). Do the dealers have a choice in what leather they can install? I just assumed it was oem. Sorry for the laziness, but I will definitely post pics tomorrow. Maybe you all can discern the...

That is sweet!! Love the beach shot...looks like a Corona commercial.

I wish I felt that way :( I feel like I'm cheating my 'runner, but I can't live with a scratch. You just stay in the nasty stuff, and keep posting pics ;): :D :cool:

I think I'll refer to a Nutty Professor quote: "Scratch the car...I scratch your ass!"

Yes. I think it looks a little classier without the bold lettering (just my taste). The leather is dealer installed, and according to my window sticker a $1200 option, but you might find aftermarket leather can be installed cheaper. I'll post some full pics of it tomorrow so you can see it...

Thanks for the compliments. I guess Michelle did party earlier, she drank 7 quarts of mobil 1 (she can really hold her oil). She is pretty pampered, but I will admit I have all-weather mats that protect her factory carpet/mats so they stay looking new. I just hose off the rubber mats and...

I know women don't like to tell you their age, but Michelle turns 1 year old this month and has about 15k. Michelle is an 04' SE 4x4 v8, and she is titanium with graphite leather. I've debaged the sides and had the tires reversed by my local tire shop. I'm somewhat new at shooting pics, so...
