2017 TRD Offroad engine tick/knock?

[FLY_FISHING]

I have had 2 5th Gens 4Runners and a 2008 Taco and they all do that

I’ve used Mobil 1 in the past and notice that the engine was a little louder with it compared to OEM oil, especially on cold starts.

4.0 seems to be a very noisy engine in general.

Compared to other Japanese engines... Yes I agree 100%

Toyota oil is made by Mobil.

I run Redline Oil in all of my high performance stuff. I may try it in the 4Runner and see how it's does. I'm an oil fanatic. LOL I've probably done 60+ oil tests on 10+ different brands of oil with Blackstone Labs. In different stuff of course.

WAIT!!!!!!
These engines are supposed to sound like this?

I need to stop putting motor honey in it then..........

My 2011 with 129k miles ticks. When I bought it the dealer told me they all do that. From my research and confirmed by pretty much everyone in this thread, it's normal.

Thanks all for the replies - I feel better knowing other people rigs are the same!

Well I've finally learned to accept my noisy tapping ticking engine and diesel sounds!
I have never owned a new 4x4 before I've allways owned old ones and I guess my expectations where the new ones would be more refined and quieter - my old jeep 4.0 made less noise than my 17 4Runner.
It's a Toyota and I hope it will continue to make its noises and do it for a very long time.

Thanks all for the info on this :tea:
