Thank you for this video. Have been planning the same thing for some time. Since there is no alternator and the 12v is charged via the dc converter from hybrid system can you verify if the smart alternator detection keeps the victron charging when the engine shuts off when going into ev mode? Or will this even happen if it needs to provide consistent power to 12v at this point?

My oil looks cleaner on my 2024 sequoia with 2500 miles.

Great idea and execution - subbed, thank you!

The size of the filter is a joke on a truck. Garbage truck. Sorry but you got sucker to buy one.

My friend, you are squandering great opportunities here !!!!!! ! drain the oil Take a sample, send it to Blackstone.. They will. Tell you in their report if contaminants and metals are more than average. I'm not saying this is going to reveal everything but at least it's an opportunity to see what's going on in a brand new engine.... And an opportunity for you to put fresh oil during the break in period Post the results .... thank you

So everyone talks about voltage drop. Does the amps drop to?

you could send it in for oil analysis. It's would be normal to have some metal in there. your premature for engine break-in but I get it! You want to be sure!

If the debris is in fact in the oil galley of the crank., ,, machinig debris,, it is beyond the filter straight to the main bearings. 😂

So what is the spare battery charging off of? There is no alternator on the hybrid Tundra's.

You're not going to see anything until it fails. The "metal debris" is a scapegoat toyota is using to cover up for the real issue, which is the bottom end design. They used cast iron main caps on an aluminum engine block, the two metals expand and contract at different rates. The bearing goes out of round and then it spins and the engine loses oil pressure, resulting in failure.

“It’s a really small oil filter” 🥴

Who was not doing their job on machining debris on those engines?

Thanks for sharing! I had my 2024 tundra platinum oil changed at 5000 miles instead of waiting until the recommended 10,000. I have had no issues so far, knock on wood! They did include a 10 year 100,000 mile extended warranty and a free maintenance plan to 60,000. So I should be fine.

I have a 2022 Toyota Tundra SR5 TRD Off Road with more than 26K miles ... no issues! My truck is my DAILY driver ....

where are you

Great video! The reason I bought my 2017 Tundra new was so I could drive decades without any worries and this far I can sleep like a baby. It was not the same with my 2 Chevy vans and my new Avalanche I bought years ago.

If they are telling the truth that it is actually metal shavings and not a design flaw.

is the Max in the recall? I've read it is not on an Edmunds article. i'd post, but likely my comment will get deleted. You can google it.

Stay away 3.4 duel turbo won’t last

Pictures of failed engines show main bearing damage on all bearings not just one. Hybrid trucks are not recalled as they still have motive power after the engine fails so they can be driven to a safe spot.

Excellent video! Thanks for posting.

It could be a design issue hard for me to believe it’s just shavings

need to contact

Intresting concept but I go the other way, loading my .357 with fast rifle powder for my 18"...also much safer :-)

Wouldn't lithium-phosphate be a little dangerous to run in a truck, especially exposed like? Phosphate is dangerous when it burns

Great arms.

What's the accent. It's like right there on the tip of my ear and I can place it. Daggum it. That's gonna irk me until I forget I was irked.

Thanks

Thanks

I’m at almost 11k on my ‘23 1794 hybrid, not a single hiccup to mention. I had a ‘22 1794 that was so kindly hit head on, that had just hit 13k, again, with no issues. Both incredible to drive and own. It’s nice to see some reassuring remarks here but I’ve also had no doubt that Toyota would take care of its customers, plus the fact that the number of actual failed engines is tiny. Just don’t go over to Reddit or Facebook unless you want people who don’t even own the trucks to scream in your ear that you have a piece of junk. 🙄

You are not supposed to tow before 500 miles is reached , read the break in period in manual

Why do manufacturers put out such tiny oil filters? My 400cc motorcycle uses a filter this size, as well as two screens.

Best truck in the world guy

the car care nut just bought a tundra, thats a plus

I would change the oil at 1000 miles or for first oil change .

I said this is wut Toyota was gonna do for the rescll... other makes have done this... then do an Lil change check for metal.and beat run

Potential $70k paperweight 🤦

I would have drained the oil and add fresh, if it were me.

All praise to the 4.7 look like Toyota fix something that was not broken

You cannot trust what Toyota says. There might a different reason for the current Tundra problem

Trade that crap in

Toyota will take care of business.

Good job. From what I understand they corrected the issue in 2023 so your 2024 may be ok. I sure hope so that’s a really nice truck.

I have a '24 Tundra with 7600 miles on it. And I've owned 5 Toyota pickups over the last 40 years (with zero problems). Naturally, I'm a bit concerned about this issue. But, based on my experience so far, the 2024 is the best pickup I've ever owned.

I'm glad I didn't trade in my '16 tundra.

Looks excellent, nothing to be concerned about there. I'll be doing the same on mine and my sons at 500-1,000 miles also. Just for peace of mind but I hear they actually have changed things on the 24's and only very early ones might be affected if at all.

Watch CarCareNut review few days ago. He did some in depth analysis. They quietly modified short block and long block parts (old part# has been discontinued. They also changed few main bearings in April 2024. Who knows what else they changed!? Basically. I am hoping for a complete engine replacement. New engine in, old engine out. Also, replace turbines, Vince their bearings could have been damaged too. Finally, give us all 200,000 km/miles extended warranty.

Well, that’s because the oil the Toyota oil filters aren’t that great of a filter to catch particles now they are a good filter for flow. They allow a lot of flow to go through them. A lot of boil, but they’re not that great at catching the little particles so the best way to do it is just drain the oil and the oil pan clean the oil pan before you start and then drain the oil and then the oil pan, I think 24 are also gonna be recalled and the hybrids aren’t being recalled only because they have an alternative alternative motor to get them out of harms away. This is a safety recall, and the hybrid can still move under battery operated power and that’s why it’s not on the recall, but it’s definitely the same motor. It’s gonna have the same issues.

Don't worry, the 2024s had a part sucession vs the 2023s so they don't have the same mid block with the machining debris, I hope that offers some reassurance.
