Is it ok to use 5W-20 on my 2007 V6? The filler cap says 5W-30, but TSB EG018-06 seems to indicate that it is acceptable to use 5W-20 on the GR series engines? Isn't my V6 a 1GR-FE engine? Please correct me if I am wrong!! Thanks!! Changing the oil tomorrow. I'm at 4997.

So, according to this TSB, should I put 5W-20 or 5W-30 in my 2007 V6 4Runner? The oil filler cap says 5W-30. Let me know. Thanks!

If so, please forward it to me. Thank you.

Anyone have a copy of the TSB for this thread?

I am about 2k miles away from my first oil change in my new 2007 V6 4x4 Sport Edition. I want to do the change myself, but need to make sure I have everything I need first. So my questions are: 1. Should I use a jack or ramps to lift the Runner? 2. If a jack, what sort of jack do you...

My special order finally arrived at the dealership yesterday. Unfortunately, I cannot pick it up this weekend (dealer is 3 hrs away) because I'm going to a concert this weekend out of town. I cannot wait!!

I special ordered my 2007 Sport Edition on December 14, 2006 and it was scheduled to hit port on March 25, 2007, but found out that Toyota had built it in the wrong color. As such, I re-ordered mine on March 13, 2007 and it is currently scheduled to arrive at the dealership by June 7, 2007. I...

As you may recall, I had special ordered a V6 Shadow Mica Sport Edition with NAV back in December 2006, only to find out in March that Toyota had built it in the wrong color. Thus, I decided to have my dealership reorder my Shadow Mica. Well, my saleman called today and informed me that it was...

Re: I agree Hey Dush, Seeing pics of your new Shadow Mica is what persuaded me to tell the dealership to re-order the Shadow Mica. It appears the Zaino worked well. What actually did you do to detail it after you got it? Thanks!! Enjoy your new ride!! Ryan

I appreciate everyone's sympathy and thoughts on what I should do. Although my dealer did offer to take $500 off of the Titanium Metallic, I have decided to have the dealership re-order my Shadow Mica 4Runner. I agree that for over $30k, I should get what I asked for. Hopefully, Toyota agrees...

I would be ok with a dealer installed factory NAV. That is really the option that is a must have for me on the Sport Edition. I have a feeling the dealer might have screwed up, but it doesn't matter really who screwed up at this point. Tanker, that would be great if you can check around the...

My dealer told me that the special order I was getting would have been the only one in the United States like that. I don't know, maybe I can live with Titanium Metallic. However, my girlfriend just purchased a 2007 Honda Pilot that is SILVER. So, I really would not like to have the same...

Is there any way I can contact the regional or national sales office directly? If they do have to re-order it, which they will have to since Toyota doesn't typically build Sport Editions with NAV, I would like my request put in at the top of their list. I shouldn't have to wait as long as the...

Bad News!!! WRONG COLOR!!! I ordered my 2007 Sport Edition V6 with Navigation on December 14, 2006. My salesman left me a message on Wednesday stating that it had just showed up on their inventory and to expect another 3-4 weeks. Then, he leaves another voice message yesterday stating that...

Manufacturing Plant in WV I live 10 minutes away from a Toyota manufacturing plant located in Buffalo, WV. I believe four-cylinder engines for Corolla, Matrix, and Pontiac Vibe; V6 engines for the Sienna and Lexus RX 330; and automatic transmissions for North American-built Camry, Solara...
