#167 of 184 Re: Are you sure it got changed. [seraniko] by pb2themax Jul 23, 2006 (1:41 pm)
Replying to: seraniko (Jul 23, 2006 9:44 am) In the 05 owners manual I think it's on page 150 or 151. I do my own oil changes because I'm the only person that I totally trust to do it right.   Mobil 1 synthetic is a good choice for Toyota engines. It is very compatible with the metalurgy of Toyota engines. I use Napa, Mobil 1, or K&N oil filters. Stay away from Fram filters; poor contstruction. BTW, the Mobil 1 part number for a 4.0 liter engine is M-102 I think, or for the same price you can get the larger capacity M-209, which is what I use.

Replying to: pb2themax (Jul 23, 2006 1:41 pm) I have an 05 Tacoma and heard its good to use Castrol 5-30. I am using Toyota Filters as well. Any reason you like the Mobil 1 oil better and are using the different filters? How many quarts of oil do you put in? I used 5 on my last change.

#170 of 184 Castrol by countsmackula1 Dec 15, 2006 (10:16 pm)
I had excellent luck using only Castrol Syntec in my '89 Toyota truck, (260,000 miles, no burning or consumption, traded it for a piece of garbage Jeep Cherokee, which cost me $3000 a year in maintenance )and my '07 Tacoma will get the same thing

Replying to: sampson4 (Dec 09, 2006 1:46 pm) Toyota engines really work well with Mobil1 oil and filters. It's proven. I've tried Amsoil, RoyalPurple, etc. Mobil1 is the way to go, in a Toyota.

i bought some sensors for the oem alloys to replace the steelies that came with the prerunner. Do i have to have the dealer have these installed and reset or can any tie place install them?
#173 of 184 Changing Filter by khouse Mar 16, 2007 (12:10 am)
Is there any secret on replacing the oil filter without spilling oil on the motor when you replace the filter after a oil change. I got a 2007 4.0L DC Prerunner and the filter sets up at the top. Replies to this message: ltmar (Mar 16, 2007 7:21 am) khouse (Mar 16, 2007 12:32 pm)

Replying to: khouse (Mar 16, 2007 12:10 am) There is a drain near the filter mount. It has a cap on it. If you hold a bottle under the drain and loosen the filter, almost all of the oil will drain to the bottle. Then you can remove the empty filter without spilling a drop. Wipe out the drain area and replace the cap. Replies to this message: khouse (Mar 16, 2007 12:32 pm)

Replying to: ltmar (Mar 16, 2007 7:21 am) Ok thanks, I just bought it and haven't had to change the oil yet.

Hi, folks. Have an '05, no probs, great Truck! I notice in the manual that is says to change the A/C Cabin Filter and am wondering if any of you have done that, is it necessary? I currently have 26k miles on my truck. Thanks!!
