50k mile service - throttle improvement?

[el_kab0ng]

I recently hit 50k miles on my '16 4R and took it Toyota for the recommended service. They mentioned they made a service tweak (something they seem to be doing on all 4Rs at 50k) which is expected to not only improve gas mileage (which, since they reset the gauges I won't know for awhile) but also give it better throttle response.

It definitely feels different and the get up and go people have been complaining about seems to have been improved. This could just be my perception after the service, so I'm curious if others have experienced the same thing?

Achievement Unlocked! At 50k you get improved power, at 100k you get better weapons.

I'm at 2.5k in two years. I may not live long enough to see 100K. No peppy improvement for me...

Why is the dealership waiting until you reach 50K ?

Do you have any more details about what this "service tweak" is? Is there anything listed on the invoice?

I'm at 237,000. If I go the dealer for service maybe I can get 4 throttle tweaks?

nothing got tweaked.. if you're lucky they might've cleaned your MAF during air filter replacement.. that alone gives you a "pep" and will keep you coming back every 50k for that 800 dollar service package..
