I Bought Another PROBLEM Toyota Engine!

[@ManCaveMayhem]

Use Valvoline restore and protect oil. It will help the rings free up.

Just bought some, they don’t have in Canada so had to cross the border to get it.

Oil & Filter Every 5k, 10k, 15k, 20k, 25k, 30k, 35k, 40k, 45k, 50k, Easier to keep track of the changes. Buy a case of 10 filters and write on them 5k, 10k, 15k, 20k, 25k, 30k, 35k, 40k, 45k, 50k,

[@EveryPENNYonCars]

Good Idea

[@Glocktard]

I agree with stocking up on oil change supplies. Do you not have a stack of toilet paper? Of course you do, because you will never decide to stop wiping 😂 Change that oil and often.

[@JasPlun]

Synthetic every 5k miles or less for naturally aspirated if its a Turbo charged engine every 3-3500 miles synthetic because the turbos are tough on oil. If you use conventional oil every 3k miles, but most makes can only have synthetic now. Transmission every 45k miles normal automatic, CVT every 25k-30k mile intervals the CVT really needs it done often! I follow these rules and every vehicle I have owned made it to 200k miles or more all original transmissions included. I do not do machine tranny services just drop filter and replace and refill.

[@ThisOldMan-ya472]

I have owned 200 various makes and models of personal vehicles, and do all my own repairs and maintenance for the past 50 years. I bought a new 2022 car, my first vehicle using Full Synthetic Oil. I was not a fan of Synthetics, based on the marketing hype, so I experimented, ignoring the Manufacturer's RECOMMENDED service intervals here in Canada. I will HONESTLY inform others based on my personal knowledge and experience - DO NOT EXCEED 10,000 km or 6,000 mile engine oil change intervals. As well, be sure to service and change differential oil in AWD, and get the Transmission oil changed. DO not wait for the first recommended Manufacturer's interval, as it is the most critical, which is the BREAK-IN period. Get the metal and gasket material out of your drive train. My AWD differential oil was horrendous at 30,000km (18,000 miles). Just sayin !

[@EveryPENNYonCars]

Thanks for the info

[@deadswarmaking1135]

It's hard to believe you averaged 4 vehicles per year for 50 years

[@ThisOldMan-ya472]

@@deadswarmaking1135 Yes, for some people that would be difficult. However, I would buy vehicles with issues, fix them, drive them and sell them. I have only owned three new vehicles, the last one bought in 2022, which I still have. I currently have 9 vehicles in my yard, mostly 2001-2004 Pathfinders, a 2001 Frontier, a 2018 Soul, and a Goldwing. ;-) edit: PS, 4 are currently licenced.

[@jimsgaragetoys]

I have always recommended a break-in oil change on new engines between 800-1k miles. I also change the differential oil, transfer case, and transmission oils between 3-5k miles as a break-in change too. Oil is cheap, engines and transmissions are not.

[@airlope22]

Oh bull💩. Not one person here believes you owned 200 various makes and models.

[@StephenMazzitelli]

Do not use seafoam in your engine. It probably will not work for your problem and could cause more damage. It was originally designed for two cycle outboard motors, hence the name "seafoam". There are other products that will help better than seafoam.

[@farncoisbisson7737]

Amsoil signature series... my silverado 2016 have class action lawsuit on the lifters and camshaft. I am now a 240k km of hard driving. Still not a single issues with the DOD lifters. My oil analysis come out very good after 10k km wich is the oil interval of the truck lights .. i do not used amsoil filters but Wix Xp only

[@petejansen7220]

Sorry I’m not familiar with your short form……DOD lifters are the original lifter? So your saying with Amsoil your not having lifter and cam issues? I’ve been using Amsoil with extended intervals for rough service oil change intervals of 16,000 kms for 20 years So far nock on wood I haven’t had any problems.

[@cdpc211]

They said to change oil every 6 months or 5K miles which ever comes first. Nice truck. I wish I could afford one.

[@timannett8223]

I have been waiting for over 2 months for my Tundra. And they are giving me every excuse in the book. I think it is a sign to get something else

[@EveryPENNYonCars]

Still long wait times? Which trim?

[@timannett8223]

My truck was supposed to be here on July 17th it was Honda dealer trade . Then I was told was going to be at the end of August 22nd and the week before I went there and they told me it was going to be September 17th . That I want a week ago it told me it was going to be here on the 7th. Then I went Thursday to see if it was still going to be here on the 7th and now they told me it was going to be here on the 17th. It's been sitting in a lot on hold and Toyota will not tell the dealership why it is on hold. It just very suspicious and I know there's been a lot of issues with the engines and I'm thinking my trim might be the same. My trim is the limited nightshade ​@JonFlynnlovescars

[@gregorylyon1004]

Toyota vehicles are junk. They have been for almost a decade. Nothing but problems 2016 and up. They don't want to build a 400K mile vehicle anymore. There is no money in it for the manufacturers.

[@stoneycarter5546]

Its states that it will use oil in the owners manual. I bought a 1 owner Camry with the same engine you have the 2.5. and the guy who owned it before me said he was putting a half quart every 600 miles, I don't like to use oil additives at all but I did take the spark plugs out and put sea foam in and let it set 24 hours and then put the plugs back in and ran it for just about 300 miles and changed the oil and then i put 5w30 oil back in and it dont use a drop between oil changes at 4000 miles now, the guy who owned it before me went 10,000 miles between oil changes like Toyota told him to. never listen to Toyota or anyone that tells you to go 10,000 miles on oil. if you pull the dip stick and its starting to turn dark or brown I bet if you change that oil it will be black oil changes color when it starts to break down. people will come at me saying they do this and that. that's them not me I don't go over 5000 miles and if the oils color is getting brown then that's when i change it if its 3-4000 miles I go by the oil.

[@EveryPENNYonCars]

Thanks for the info, I’ve seen a big improvement already. Over 2000 miles since seafoam soak and oil change and hasn’t used much oil. Maybe 1/4 quart. Going to change between 3000-4000 miles

Try Valvoline Restore and Protect on your Lexus for piston rings.

[@EveryPENNYonCars]

Can’t get it in Canada yet

[@tonywhite425]

rc your exactly correct wat to man glad to see someone sees the 5k oil changes it works very well i do it

[@tomglpn]

Your truck should get rolled into the recall alin the future

[@JoseMartinez-fi7xv]

If you really want to clean out the engine, you could try the Valvoline Premium Blue restore oil. It is quite expensive, but I hear that oil is very aggressive and cleans out the engines really well. The motor oil geek did a video where he mentions that premium blue oil along with the new Valvoline restore and protect. Only problem is, the premium blue oil can only be bought through a certified Cummins dealership, but I have seen some pop up on eBay from time to time. Good luck my friend as you have nice vehicles...

[@Chokerdown]

As a 2nd gen Tundra owner it would be ludicrous to go longer than 5k kms on conventional or 8k kms synthetic. Kirkland, Amazon and SuperTech are all made by Warren and tested well above most brand oils youd find at Canadian Tire. I prefer Wix Synthetic filters. Ive watched numerous videos and read countless forums to reach my mix of brands. ProjectFarm has a great video on oil testing for Warren Oils vs name brand. "Synthetic" oil is almost a gimmick on most oils similar to "No Sugar Added"...there are few full synthetics out there...one specifically by Amsoil. Ive been a mechanic going on 30 years and this is just my advice for our climate here in Canada. Good luck with your 3rd gen. Im in the market for a new to me car as well and will be picking up a Lexus SC430 Pebble Beach Edition...you want a car that will last forever..thats it.

[@EveryPENNYonCars]

The pebble beach SC is a real nice car. I’ve thought about one for a weekender but not realistic for my daily as it’s almost all city. Used to own a 2003 LS430

[@kennycunningham8721]

My dad would run a half qt of transmission fluid in the fuel and the other half in the oil to clean carbon off piston rings and upper engine.

[@hugothibeault5941]

You should try to use the new Valvoline restore & protect. It’s suppose to be very good to clean piston rings. Good luck!

[@EveryPENNYonCars]

Gonna try and find it here in Canada

[@martyi398]

We have the 2.5 engine in a Rav-4 with similar oil consumption issue (229,000 miles) I check and top off the oil every time I fill the tank with fuel, I use heavier weight oil 5w-30 synthetic blend and add a bottle of Lucas HD oil stabilizer every oil change, it still consumes oil although at a slower pace, I'm cautious of engine cleaning products due to the particles that can get freed up and clog passages and create other issues within the engine, She purrs like a kitten & drives real well no codes on the dash, we use Rav-4 as a work commuter & kids use when home from college, (Fill the oil & check the gas) lol

[@EveryPENNYonCars]

Thanks for the info, I’m going to try valvoline protect and restore to see what happens. I’ve heard good things about it.

[@mrvoyagerm]

I was going to do the ceramic thing on my new Grand Highlander until someone decided my R Rear passenger door needed a pretty good shopping cart dent in it.

[@MrSuperchargeron]

Overfilling the oil will cause carbon to build up in the ring lands and stick the rings. It only takes once and the engine will not be the same until you take it apart and clean out the ring lands.

[@EveryPENNYonCars]

Good to know thanks

[@Travelingcarguy1]

Those 2AR engines in the Lexus don’t have those low tension oil rings and they don’t burn oil by nature. Those are the 2az engines with the low tension rings and has a recall for the excessive oil burning. These 2AR burn oil only if service is neglected and their oil change intervals are 10k miles. If the oil change intervals were kept at 5k miles then it never burns oil. I have a 2011 Camry with that engine with 250k with no oil burning

[@EveryPENNYonCars]

That’s probably what happened to this car before I bought it. Will try some valvoline restore and protect for a few oil changes and see what happens

[@OnlyMeee-ie3dw]

I wouldn't add anything to the oil. I'd run a good quality synthetic oil and change the filters a few times between oil changes. The oil Geek has a few great vids on that too. Spraying something in the cylinder could remove the oil film and cause damage. Run it in the tank so it cleans the air path after the injector.

[@EveryPENNYonCars]

[@jimsgaragetoys]

DO NOT add anything to your engine oil. These products do more damage than help in any way. Te best thing you can do is to start using the new Valvoline Restore and Protect synthetic oil as that has been proven to clean up piston rings and engines in testing. Just know that you want to change the oil filter early due to all of the debris it cleans up in the beginning. When you buy a used car, always check the oil level before driving it back home! On your Tundra, I would never do 10k mile oil changes on any turbo engine, 5k miles at the most. And know that Toyota says 10k miles is for "normal" conditions when 98% of us fall under the "severe" use category which is 5k mile oil changes.

[@EveryPENNYonCars]

Gonna make a trip across the border and buy a few jugs of the restore and protect since they don't sell it here.

[@jimsgaragetoys]

@@EveryPENNYonCars That's weird that it's not sold in Canada. Well worth it to use for the next 20-30k miles and make that engine like new inside. I've seen from people thought to change the oil filter at 1k miles due to all of the initial junk that comes loose and can clog up the filter.

I read that turbo engines oil needs to be changed sooner, even 3-4K miles due to oil getting really hot from the turbos and contaminated! Your engine has not 1 but 2 turbos! I would do a little mor research on that and change the oil accordingly. Just my opinion...
