1. Toyota oil filter from the dealership only (not online or amazon, you may end up w fake copycats).
2. Costco brand 5w-30 oil full synthetic (made by warren oil) been using it for 2-3 years and had 0 issues.
I honestly think the original denso radiator cap from toyota is the best way to go.
You dont have a V8 and if your V6 is a stock engine then the trd rad cap will not benefit you.

Have them on my 08 4runner for about 2 years in Illinois and had zero issues. It’s a real true plug and play upgrade. Produces a nice bright light thats similar to luxury cars.
I really like them and have...
I was perplexed about all the HID & LED lights on the market. I didnt bother going with anything on amazon or fans.
I invested in the xtreme led pro from xenondepot.com
Theyre the best head lights i have owned for 2 years running. Didnt give me any problems in the Chicago winters either.
Good...
I got this remote start deal from best buy and I love it! Had it for 3 years and no issues. I had to wait a few weeks out for an appointment at Best buy but it was totally worth it. The only regret is that i should have done it sooner.
My wife is a Chicago native and laughed it off when i got a...
I have 2008 SR5 4x4 with 168k on the clock. The trips have been smooth with no issues at all.
In the last few days I have been thinking about getting AAA roadside assistance for the extra safety measure. Since its good for the 12 months, might be the peace of mind i need to get out of a jam.
You have the right idea and on the correct path, start doing maintenance so you can build service history and that will make you more confident in your trips.
I would look to see if its time to have your brake fluid flushed, sb done every 3 years.
Get the battery, alternator and starter tested...
Installed on my 4th gen 2008 4Runner, direct fit.
Just installed the energy suspension bumpstops on my front control arms and i must say that I am impressed. For the price, i dont think you can beat it.

I am also using the seat covers from Costco. Bought them 4 years ago and they held up well and fit great. 1 box came with full front 2 seat covers for passenger + driver side.
I just recently bought the same seat covers for $20 on sale a few weeks ago at Costco to replace the old ones...
Did anybody notice better acceleration or better mpg’s when used for daily driving?
Also, curious why Dobinsons 4runner tacoma and Tundra snorkels are $330 vs landcruisers are $300. Any thoughts?
Thanks ya’ll
This is very helpful information!
I lived in Chicago for 3.5 years and my 08 v6 4runner underbody took a beating from all the salt and snow. My exhaust will need a replacement due to that and this will help in buying for cheap when 5th 4runners upgrade to after market exhaust.
Thank you!
Just checked my diff breather and its in good working condition, that was a good tip!
Thank you all, you guys are the best. All this info helped out a lot.
