Filter is all oem and has been replaced recently

I am beginning to become concerned over my oil analysis results and wanted to see if anyone can provide any input or suggestions. My engine has had oil changes done meticulously from new.

I am looking at changing to a different style wheel from my current setup and plan on running the same size tires, currently 265/70 I am running 17x8 0 offset. I am happy with the "poke" and offset of 0. I am looking to purchase a set of these AGP Pro 23 which are offered in +5 offset. AGP...

yea you can remove them they bolt in. You want to remove them because they look weird?

Can anyone tell me the bolt size for the 4 bolts of the Cross brace bracket that "protects" the catalytic converters

I replaced mine at 150k preventively to find out that it was leaking out of the weep hole (hard to see). With the cost of them and the somewhat prevalent head gasket leaks why wouldn't you replace it. They are going to fail and at 150k it exceeded it life expectancy.

What does everyone think of this oil analysis compared to my previous results? Anything I should be concerned with?

update: at around 140k now. Had to change a few more items. -both front cv axels -(did both front wheel bearings at the same time) -muffler (rear pipe fell off) -Rear calipers (siezed up while driving)

sure, i have them posted somewhere else on here too. I was going back and forth for a week if I wanted to set front shocks to .85 or not and I didn't. I bet it would look fine if you did, but im happy with where it is at.

I replaced stock XREAS. Installed 5100 with T1 and T12 springs. Installed on front at 0 Feels like stock ride, slightly stiffer which I wanted because stock was too soft and felt bouncy. Tight on turns, smooth ride, stiffer then stock. What I wanted, I feel like im in an SUV now not a boat.

1. Going to need new CV axels. 2. Going to need to remove Xreas suspension and replace shocks either now or in the near future. Want to check on 4WD engaging, especially 4LO. Listen for any gurgling or bubbling from coolant (bad head gasket). Depending on condition of everything else it...

ill take another look today, but everything major seemed tight.

I am having a rattling noise whenever I am in reverse and I apply the brakes. When I let off the brake the noise stops. I have a video to show what is going on and the Ebrake is applied throughout the video, however the noise does not seem to change if it is applied or not. Does anyone have...

I took my 4runner in for service at the dealership and they noticed that there was differential fluid leaking. They pointed it out to me and from what I saw there was some fluid around the front driveshaft where it bolts in. They said that I needed a Pinion seal replacement. From what I see it...

Gasket was like $50. cost a couple hundred to install it. Did pcv valce at the same time.
