Thank for the oil info, may try the Pennzoil in the fall. Do you just use 5W30? I do use the Mobil 1 High Mileage version when I can find it. Here is the video link 06 4Runner noise - YouTube

UPDATE: at 235k I noticed the sound was higher pitched for a day or two, then the battery light came on....thought it might be the alternator. Got home to see if the battery was charging on start up, nope...11V at idle and then I saw the smoke coming from the alternator. HA! Stock alternator...

2006 SR5 4x4 V6 228k Recent oil change and recent P0174/P0171 Code (cleared after MAF cleaning) about 2 weeks ago. Although my Bank2Sensor 1 LTF trim wont go below 4.69% (idle) 2 days ago I noticed a higher pitched noise coming from the driver side engine compartment. You can hear it on...

I want to piggyback off the OP here. I had the same symptoms and same results. At about 160k I would hear very slight humming when going around some turns At 170k I started to get floorboard vibrations at high speed on the highway. Thought it could be anything. CVs , bearings, tie rods...

Haven't driven it much but it's smoother all round on a lot of my routine bumps in the road. They are only 10% stiffer than stock.

Front is OME 90000 / 884 with spacers. Back is 60020 shocks and Toytec superflex coils. 3/2 lift. Front still needs to settle a bit to get that even looks. Next up is new tires. Either 275/70/17 at3s or 255/75/17 idk what kind. And some spacers. Before After
