That site is awesome, thank you!
I agree. I have asked countless questions, some actually stupid or right in front of me, and not one member has been an ass or anything less than nice. It’s a great forum. Forums typically reflect a lot about the product, too. Says something!

If you’re changing your oil on time there should be no reason for those filters to have any build up.
P0012 + P0022 hopefully gone !
Thanks for the info guys, I have been struggling with these codes for a while now.
In my case the VVT sensors were the culprit, covered in sludge.
My OCV solenoids looked fine and the filters were a bit dirty, shook them in a bottle of Isopropyl Alcohol.
Just added some Sea Foam so will do another oil change in a couple hundred miles.
wish me luck,
Dave

Do you have any photos of the VVT sensors covered in sludge? Do you know what caused the sludge buildup? I'm always curious about anything maintenance related. Keep up posted on the sea foam please. Good Luck!

Totally unnecessary unless you like to take things apart and have copious amount of time. I just replaced PCV on my 2004 sludge prone 4.0 V6 and it looked and sounded perfect just as it was new. Save your effort for more useful stuff, better yet ,if I may recommend, get an oil catch can to keep oil residue from entering intake valves and combustion chamber.

So yesterday my CEL and Trac Off came on but the 4 runner was riding fine. 2017 155k SR5 Premium. I was close to autozone so I stopped in and had them check the code. P0022 Camshaft position -timing over retarted Bank 2. I took it to Toyota this morning and they said $12k to fix. I'm like WTF and just paid the diagnose fee and drove home. They said timing chain replacement, and all 4 cams. I drove home and car starts as normal and idles as normal, drives as normal. I did hear a little rattle very faint twice on the ride home which was 20 miles.
Could it be the timing chain? Oil changed all the time and the truck was running perfectly.

So there is a filter located under the Oil Filter area and theres 2 on either size of the valve covers, near exhaust on driver side and in opposite location on other other side?
Are all 3 of these little filters dealing with the vvt or vvti?
