If your lucky enough to have purchased the Toyota Platinum extended warranty, the sunroof is covered.

I have 1999 4-runner w 205,000 miles. Check engine light came on and the repair shop is wanting to replace Oxygen sensor, fuel filter, clean fuel injector and replace battery cable terminals and cable. $962.00
 
What do you think - Is it worth it. All items are original equipment.

Have an '06 4Runner. Had a flat, put on the full spare and the tire sensor light will not turn off.
 
Any help would be appreciated.

The Tire Pressue Monitoring System (TPMS) is looking for the flat tire. It has a sensor in it. Fix the flat and put it back on the vehicle and the light goes out.

Seems the flat tire is still in close proximity to the truck. So the sensor is still broadcasting the low/flat tire signal. You have to fix the flat tire and get it to the correct pres to turn the light off. Or take the flat tire off the truck and keep it at home til it's fixed.. Good luck Cjj

Oil Changes and Tires by 2006toy

I have a 2006 4Runner LTD V8 w/80,000 miles and no problems. Typically keep my vehicles for 12 years or 250K miles. Two questions;
 
1) I've always had the oil and filter changed every 3K on all my vehicles and they lasted forever. For the most part, I've changed the oil every 3k, but on the last couple of changes I've moved to 5k. The maintenance guide and the dealer mark oil changes at 5K. Should I stick with the ole fashion rule of every 3k or go with the 5k interval. Mostly highway miles with no towing.
 
2) I need to replace my original Michelin Cross Terrain tires due to 2 cuts that can't be fixed. Probably would have gone 90k without a problem. There are no Michelins in New England. Has anyone replaced the OEMs with General Tire Grabbers? Comments relative to the Michelins?

Changing oil at 3K is a waste of money IMHO! I have been changing oil every 5K on my '05 w/the V8 without any issues. SUV currently has 65K on it.
 
The Grabber has gotten good reviews. You might consider also the Nittos Terra Grappler if they are available in your area. The BFG All terrains are a safe choice as well.
 
There isn't a smoother quieter tire than the Michelins, so keep that in mind. However, just about every tire is cheaper than the Michelins as well!
