Just stick with a good quality synthetic oil (I personally use amsoil, but some other synth's such as Mobil-1 are good too) and an OEM toyota filter (oil filter selection is probably more critical than oil selection). Don't settle for a lower grade filter.
They also said that tires are showing excessive wear and I am not sure why this would be. I get regular service usually between 3500 - 4000 miles, and have tires rotated and balanced each time. Is this overkill?
I had the sulfur smell and still have it, but it happens very infrequently now. I switched to only using highest octane gas about two or three months ago so this may have helped.
SORRY ABOUT USING ALL CAPS MY CAPS LOCK KEY FELL OFF I AM STILL LOOKING FOR IT.
Also, has replacing the headliner stop the moonroof squeak? My sound gets worse with the colder weather; however, it takes about 15 minutes with the truck warming up and then the noise goes away. It has something to do with the colder weather.
I have replaced a bunch of steering angle sensors on sienna and 4runner for the same problem and I have heard the squeak in the roof is the sunroof rails where thay bolt up. But I have never had either issue on a sequoia my self to diagnos? Mabey thay tightned them up when thay did the head liner.
Well good luck to both of you
About the rear axle seal. We already had it repaired/replaced several months ago under warranty at a different dealership. When we told this new dealership that, they told us that there is an inner and outer seal and that the previous dealer only replaced the outer seal. Does this sound right? I am not trusting this new dealership now that they charged us for the pads. My 30,000 mile service ended up costing over $700 when you add in the brake repairs!
The brake seal TSB applies to 2001-2002 Sequoias and replaces part #90310–56001 with part #90310–56002. There is also the need for a new "Special Service Tool(SST)" that is needed to properly install the new "angle face" seal. If it's not used, it could damage the seal and you could be right back where you started. Maybe this is what happened originally or they didn't use the new seal design.
When I'm on the highway I get almost 18 MPG at 70 MPH with the cruise on. If I jump up to 79 - 80 MPH the fuel mileage dips.
The gas mileage seems to be slightly improving as my Sequoia get more break-in.
Other than driving conservatively, keeping tires inflated properly, has anyone found any products to improve the gas mileage on the Sequoia such as K & N filters, cold air induction, new exhaust etc.?
I've only added the K&N air filter and noticed a small diff in power only when towing (no diff otherwise) and no noticable effect in gas mileage. The other options you mention will incrementally increase horsepower, but I doubt you will notice any diff in gas mileage (1mpg tops). So unless you need the extra 5-10HP, none are worth spending the $.
I'm starting to wonder if the tire has an abnormal wear pattern that causes it to make noise on the slick snow. I'll post after a tire rotation and let you know if it goes away.
It shows the difference. Dealer says -20004 is discontinued- Heads Up. They're replacing with the pos they sold me and trying to sell me the TRD Japan filter for $30. Not biting- searching for lots of -20004 filters.
