Thanks for the replies in these forums. Helped out alot.
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.
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!!
thanks,

has a subtle back fire when starting it up in the mornings. Doesn't do it when starting it up again
right after. Has 28,000 miles. No intake leak.
Bought it new. Well maintained. Seems to run ok
otherwise. Sounds like emission problem???
engine back fires when starting it up after the
engine cools down. Doesn't do it right after I
start it up again?? Well maintained with 28,000mi.
Seems to run ok.
If not, you have to buy the entire console. Parts/labor was quoted to me at $310!!
I took my 08 Taco to the Toyota dealer and had them change the oil and I asked them how they replaced my filter without making a mess and he said we just let it loose and then hose down the mess with solvent. He said you would not believe how much solvent we go through in a weeks time. I am changing my oil for now on. I guess the method above would cost them too much time.
Has anyone had there oil analyzed by a lab? I think I am going to use Mobile 1 but I am having a hard time finding any chart that list the best overall oil. Some articles I have read says that Mobile 1 has more wear than some other brands. I would appreciate any help.
