    2016 4Runner Oil Change

    As mentioned before, I did not have to change out the center perforated tube from the original plastic one to the newer metal one. I installed the newer metal oil filter housing, with an cartridge filter from Toyota, without any problems but hey if you (or anyone else for that matter) feels...

    2016 4Runner Oil Change

    First question: Yes it fit perfect, no problems. Second question: Didn't have to change or modify nothing, the center tube was the exact same size. Third question: M12x1.25x12 is the size (I contacted them and specifically asked this before ordering).

    2016 4Runner Oil Change

    You can disagree all you want but I think you didn't fully comprehend what exactly was stated on my post. You seem to think that I am addressing all Toyota years for Tacomas and 4Runners and I am not. I specifically stated the year 2016 4Runner (as well as Tacomas from that year too). I own...

    Gas tank and mileage indicator issues...

    Hey, that's alright, it's all good. If time allows you too then great, if not, that's O K. Even if you can remove that black top cover to see if access is possible? Could be that the entire fuel pump on the 4Runner (2003-2009) is smaller than other vehicles that have'em larger, so as to...
