    Oil Change Interval Poll

    None of the above. I go by time. Every 6 months regardless of mileage as per the severe service maintenance schedule.

    5th Gen 4Runner Head Gasket

    Not changing your coolant is a big one. Coolant gets acidic over time. It will eat away at the Multilayer steel head gasket and the steel water pump gasket and seal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJZLMIl6XPo&ab_channel=TheCarCareNut

    Winter steel rims, which lug nuts?

    Thanks for the info. But I'm having the same problem. Even your posted website has no listings for 2022 4Runner. I can order by rim size but don't know if they will clear the calipers and this has been an issue in the past. Does your Pro have 17" rims or 20"?. My son has a 2020 Tundra TRD PRO...

    Thinking the dealer used the wrong filter for my 10k oil change

    This is a no brainer. I would never install a new part without comparing it to the old one. No excuse for not noticing that it's shorter/not the same. Been an auto mechanic for 40 yrs and new or not nobody is touching my 4Runner other than me and yes it's brand new.

    How much are people paying for the NEW 4Runner?

    I wish. That's without the juice. MRSP for this model here is $54,670 CDN. I was $58,800 CDN out the door including HST, freight, delivery, PDI, a/c and tire tax and license. Still happy got it for just over $4700.00 CDN under MRSP thanks to my brother in-law.:canada:

    How much are people paying for the NEW 4Runner?

    39.6K US (49.7K CDN.)for a brand new 2022 TRD ORP in Ontario Canada. Sure helps having family that works at Toyota. Got to love employee pricing.:)

    Extended Warranty

    Here in Ontario for a 2022 4Runner nothing more than a 2 year maintenance plan for stupid money. Over 2k. So not worth it. Basically a couple of oil changes and a lot of fluff to make it look good for people that don't know. Maintain it right and don't worry about any extended powertrain or...

    Winter steel rims, which lug nuts?

    Yes with steel rims you must have the cone shaped regular nuts. Might I ask where purchased your steel rims your 4Runner. I'm in Ontario as well looking for steels for my 2022 Trd Off Road. It has 17X7.5 rims. Was thinking of ordering 4 spare tire rims from Toyota but too pricey going...

    Complete Corrosion Protection for my New T4R

    Thanks for the info. Yah I laughed at the dealer over the gizmo. Been an auto mechanic for 40 years. Seen them rusted off the fender they were mounted on and still blinking like it was working. They were unimpressed with my comments and their response was to tell me it could void my warranty if...

    Complete Corrosion Protection for my New T4R

    Thanks for this and pointing out the weak spots. Just took delivery of a 2022 TRD ORP. I also plan to keep it for a long time. Have been rustproofing my cars with Krown for years and it's a good product. But like anything else it's only as good as it's application. Pretty much drove it straight...
