Any noticeable difference using 5w-30?

Now that’s what I like to hear! I bet you’ll make 500k no problem.

Makes sense. I’m in NC and it’s hot here also and I never had a vehicle with 0w-20 so it made me wonder. Especially it being a V8 I thought they all took higher weight oil. Guess that’s with the older trucks…I just bought a water pump, thermostat and serpentine belt to do and I’m at 125k. I have...

Yeah my first thought also. But unfortunately I bought this with 125mi and it was never changed. Check this video out it’s a master Toyota tech. Interesting info whether you’re on perfect maintenance schedule or not.

Did your radiator begin leaking? What was the cause of replacement?

Sounds like you take good care of it! Why the oil change? Also did you notice a difference with the trans fluid? Did you drain the pan and refill or do a flush?

I just ordered one for mine along with a new thermostat and serpentine belt & tensioner while I’m in there.

I’m afraid to because mechanics also say if it’s over 100k and never been changed, it could cause issues to change it now. Do you have plenty of experience changing trans fluid for first time on vehicles over 100k miles and no issues?

Have you seen this video? Check it out this guy goes into detail about the chain tensioner. From what he said I don’t thinks it’s a mandatory thing to fix. But I would under the noise must be very annoying.

Oh yeah I do need to do the power steering. Thank you. Brakes been done but unfortunately this thing has not had the trans fluid changed before and I just bought it so can’t take that risk! Otherwise it’s maintenance record was pretty solid for an average joe.

Hello Everyone, I am curious to know how many miles you have on your 5.7L. Also share any major repairs you have had to do and at what mileage. Mine is a 2014 Land Cruiser with 125,500mi. Recently purchased but no major repairs needed. I believe it has a cam tower leak driver side but minor...

125,500mi - spark plugs, air filter and cabin air filter, PCV valve, cleaned throttle body. About to flush radiator fluid. Grease front end and driveshaft. Replace Diff and T case fluids. Am I missing anything?
