Here is a nice coupon for those looking to buy stuff for their 4runner. I was going to buy the kappa but it looks like they are sold out. http://image.emailinfo2.bestbuy.com/lib/fef41d77766c04/m/43/13729-2_MasterCardPromo_Coupon_final.pdf

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I'm not going run 10k in the car. From the analysis, it looks like there is still a lot of moly left in the oil at 5k mi. Therefore, I think running it 10k should be no problem. There were a lot of argument here a while back about oil changes so I thought I...

I didn't change it at 1k. This oil is at 5k. Toyota no longer recommends 5k mi oil change. It's 10k mi now. They want you to bring the car in every 5k mi for things like fluid top off, tire pressure, rotations, etc. I changed the oil myself at 5k so I could do an analysis.

Whenever I buy new cars, I have always change at the 1k mark. My fear was that metal shavings from a new engine could an issue. Others have argued that today's engines are made better and this is no longer an issue. I decided to run the factory oil from the 4runner until 5k and send it in for an...

I'm planning on changing the oil at 5k and sending it in for an analysis. We'll see what the number tell us.

I have owned 6 vehicles in the past 6 yrs and I can honestly say that the fit and finish of the 4runner is among the best I have seen including the LX470 and the LS430. There are no gaps in mine. I don't hear any rattling at all like I experience in the Tundra, 2 silverados, and the Avalon. I do...

yes!

I hope Sprint will remain unlimited in their data allowance. It works great for me so far. I don't keep up with how much data I use but I bet it's a lot. I use my smartphone pretty much all day along occasional tethering.

For doggy smell, the best stuff I've used is Odorban. Does a very effective job.

LOL. I think a small block diesel in the 5th 4runner would just be about perfect!!!

You're probably right about the HP. I think it'll will be closer to 250 but the torque will be great though. MPG will probably be pretty good too.

I agree with your train of thoughts too. Not a big fan of Chrysler. But this could be game changer for other automakers. I know GM delayed the release of a small block diesel when the economy tanked. They could easily bring that back.

Chrysler is bring the diesel option to the Grand Cherokee. While I'm not that big a fan of Jeep but this could be interesting. I would love to have the power of that motor. It'll be a beast with 400 something in HP and torque. If it is pretty decent when it's out, I may have to consider trading...

Trying out tunein pro right now. I really like it. Fortunately, I live in an area with good cell coverage. I really can't live without my smart phone. It is a necessity for me with my job at the hospital.
