Thanks for this, good to see. My 14 Tundra with the 5.7v8 is still going strong. Hopefully by the time I upgrade any issues have long since been solved
I have a 2023 Tundra Limited that is as loaded as a Limited can be. I traded in my 2020 Tundra SR5 for this on in January of 2023. I have had Toyota do all the servicing, and there have been no major issues other than the recalls, and the seat bezel cracking on each side. I do not have most of the problems other complain of, such as wind noise, rattling, and all the others. I have loved my truck so far, and I hope this engine issue does not involve many truck after it is all settled. If it does affect my truck, I hope by the time it happens, they have a good fix for the problem. I currently have 20, 562 miles, and my truck seems to be a good one so far. Sounds like there are issues with other truck besides just the Tundras. Just found this channel, and I like it so far.
Majority of break-in wear is 20 microns or less, much smaller than the eye can see. It takes about 8-10k miles to fully breakin the engibe. Next time, cut the pleats, then squeeze the oil out using a vise. You will be able to see much more. BTW, I'm an engineer, started using Amsoil in 1989.
@scorpio_9810 cam lobes, chains, pumps, and cylinder rings. Frequent, early oil changes will speed up the process, and get to the point that wear metal rate reaches normal levels. Wear metals circulating in the oil will cause additional wear.
Great Video! I'm a retired ME and of course old school. I really appreciate seeing unbiased old school content! I have a 23 Tundra with 12k on the clock, and have had zero issues so far, the sky is not falling like many would like us to believe. Keep up the great work! (My change intervals every 5k)
I have been looking for the oil filter on my 1951 chevy pickup for decades, still can not find it but I just do drain and fills every 500 miles and mess with parts guys LOL, oh yea 500 miles is over a year for that truck
My 23 tundra is at 26k miles and I did 1k, 5k ... oci. I've only encountered one stall event and the truck managed to start up in a sec or two and everything was fine. Haven't done any oil testing but I do see some sparkles in the oil but not too concerned anymore since the recall was issued. Still a great truck and drives like a diesel and gets good mileage can't complain lol.
Good Stuff Jimmy as always. Main reason I subscribed to your channel about a year and a half ago and watch your videos daily during the week is beside the interesting work you do daily you seem like a very genuine and honest person and I commend you for that Sir. Appreciate all the work you do.
Jimmy, I have a 23 Tundra 4X4 Limited. I purchased it in March of 2023. I also change my own oil. I did it at 500 miles, then drove it 3000 miles in a week. I have had zero issues with my truck in 12K miles. I really like the oil filter hose connector. It makes changing the filter way less messy. As for the massive catastrophic engine failures, the last I heard it was less than 900 of 103,000 vehicles. That is less than 1%. I run Amsoil OE 0W-20 oil since I change it every 5000 miles. I like you bought multiple Toyota OE oil filters for it. They are actually cheaper than other filters, and Toyota will not be able to say issues was caused by a aftermarket oil filter. I hope it don’t, but if it does blow up, I’ll get a new short block under warranty and keep going. Your truck is the color I wanted when I bought mine, but I had 2 choices, black or none. Good luck with your truck and thanks for posting.
I’m on my second Tundra, first was the 2007 SR5 that I drove 128,000 with the 5.7 liter engine, one water pump, tires, brakes, every feature worked when I traded for a 2016 1794 with the 5.7 engine, 148,000 now and same experience, one water pump, tires, brakes, change oil every 4-5 M miles and do all the major services in the manual, Great Trucks and agree most of the negative comments come from people that have never owned a Tundra.
23 1794 edition 10k miles got it near columbus oh as a dealer demo trd lift dealer installed. Love mine only thing i noticed is an intermittent rough idle. Mine is right at the cut off on the recall . Either way i know toyota will take care of the customers so im not real concerned. They make great stuff and i will continue to buy it
A few years ago I bought the only new vehicle I have ever bought. I had the first oil change on my 2021 Chevy 2500 HD with the 6.6 gas done at 1000 miles. Dealer thought I was nuts. Oil and filter is the cheapest part of an engine!
toyota did a good job with the design of the oil containment flange by the filter by using a drain system you can attach a hose to. good ☘️ with the tundra jimmy ! I did the oil change on my new bronco at 982 miles 2.3 t. also a case of factory oil filter for my home stock pile.
Even Isky cams says not to use synthetic oil with flat tappet lifters,use break in oil first to break the camshaft in properly.Change the oil at 500 miles using break in oil and then your choice of oil with the second oil change.My dad found out,Isky puts a sheet of paper with information with their camshafts.He put one in a Chrysler 354 fireball Hemi
The manufacturer of the 383 Crate motor I installed in my 62 C10 says using synthetic before 9,000 miles voids the warranty on the engine. BluePrint Engines.
Nice truck, best wishes. Toyota's known for its reliability & resolving its recalls promptly. Toyota has all the info, so wish there was a way to verify the numbers. If Toyota owners experience a problem, isn't it best to share the experience? No warm fuzzy feeling from the resolution getting pushed back. Toyota's silence just allows the rumor mill to turn. Toyota is quality, but I think they can do better handling this.
Love the new Red Tundra Jimmy!! Super sharp! I want one now! What package did you get? I saw by the wheels, it's TRD wheels... but not sure you got the actual TRD ?? Love it! Great color / interior... and the great care you give it. I like to Oil change after first 500 miles, then another at 2,500 then every 5,000 for the life of the vehicle. I'm not a big believer is the oil filter saga on TH-cam. I saw if you maintain your vehicle you will have no issues. My Mom and Dad had a 79 Monte Carlo with a 305 V8 and Turbo 200 automatic. I learned how to change oil on that car... every 5-6,000 miles and used the il l-fated orange frame filters. Never a problem. Well over 150,000 miles later, on regular Valvoline 10w-30 and an nice orange Fram filter (LOL), car ran like new, and body was in excellent shape (I washed and waxed it all the time and oiled the doors with motor oil every fall). Car lasted over 12 years and still looked great ... even living in Metro Detroit Salt! Trans failed at 110K. about 3 times life expectancy? LOL
Mine is the SR5 XP Series with Premium package that adds big screen, leather style interior, TRD wheels, black trim, running boards and some other goodies like back up sensors and blind spot warning. Loving it! Thank you!
I have a 2024 SR5 long bed only 3,900 miles so far, I really couldn't agree with you more about all the negative drama,coming from another bald good looking guy like myself. Thank you for your video
l have a first generation tundra change the oil every 5000 miles since it is the first GEN it’s on its second timing belt 280,000 miles on it now and tires and brakes, and one alternator, and one starter and a couple of coils is all that’s been put into this truck in 24 years not too bad i have the 4.7 liter v8
Thank you for your videos Jimmy. Are you familiar with the channel “The Car Care Nut”? Master Toyota Technician who just bought a new Tundra. Excellent video regarding the engine recall issue.
Probably true! First thing is to look at those guidelines since they can be very helpful! Things like no towing during break in, no long term steady engine speeds at first and so on.
Oil analysis always shows some metal, which lessens after break in then increases again towards the end of an engines life. Main bearing clearances of .0015 to .0025 can handle microscopic particles not visible to the eye. Bearing material is actually quite forgiving at these particle sizes, but the larger sizes cause the damage 900 or so truck experienced.
@@JimmyMakingitwork There are normal ranges of bearing material in the oil though. That's my point. I use blackstone labs for my personal trucks, but use Caterpillar for all the company trucks and heavy equipment. We don't can almost always tell when an engine is about to fail based on oil analysis and total fuel consumed. For example, with no red flags on oil analysis, a CAT C175-16 can go for 950,000 gallons of diesel before rebuild. If metals are higher than normal, it can fail a lot quicker. These new Tundra engines are failing with random mileage from 5k up to 60k from what I have seen. There's got to be excessive wear, but not enough to always see in a filter. That's why I would be doing the oil analysis. You might lose one at 60k miles, but not see visible metal until 55k. Then it's too late.
Don't run engine for short period after cold start. If it has a vacuum hose for fuel return, make sure it's connected and in good shape. Fuel smell from exhaust or used oil are signs of cylinder wash.
I did my first oil change at 3500. After all the hoopla I changed the oil and filter again at 7500, cut the filter open and absolutely nothing. My 2023 Tundra is the best performing smoothest riding vehicle I have ever owned. I have owned 8 different Toyota trucks, every one of them has given me long service life with minimal maintenance. I have worked on all brands of vehicles in my life time. Toyota and Honda are so far ahead of everyone else, they are absolutely in a league of their own.
I agree Stew, this is my 3rd Toyota truck. My son also bought a 24 Tundra TRD OffRoad. We'll do a video of his first oil change around 1000 miles also.
You know Jimmy I went with the Toyota oil filter,, I used to buy the heavy Filtration filters BUT I got to thinking It might not flow as good the oil.. Basic oil filter is gonna be good I think Like you say change the On time.. i do about 3000 are 4000 my wife doses a lot of city driving.. great video Jimmy..
I will admit that I do Not know more than the engineers, so I do believe that the Toyota Oil is best, over Amsoil or other shelf brand oils. Will use it in my new Toyota! As far as oil filters, OEM all the way, nothing but.
Where are you located? How does the oil change on this Tundra compare to an F150EB, GM 5.3, etc. Appreciate your honest candor and of course, don't ever let the trolls get to you!! People can so easily hide behind a moniker ...
We are in Kissimmee, Florida. The oil change on the Tundra is similar to the F150 and GM trucks, but the Tundra does hold 8 quarts of oil. I think the Ford and Chevy are 6 or 7 quarts from memory. Thanks very much.
@@JimmyMakingitwork Take a look at "The Car Guy Online" Jimmy..He presents a good documented picture of how many are failing by model year etc. My concern is in my view Toyota hasn't identified the cause or the fix as far as I know.
@@alanmorrison3598 its a known issue, and toyota changed the 1 and 4 bearing 4/24 build date forward, i like the tk but facts are facts, good luck to all.
I think your choice of Amsoil and Toyota filters is great, Amsoil is the best oil, I use Pennzoil platinum only because it is easy to get and is a very close 2nd, those 2 oils are the only true synthetic oils all the others are blends, Amsoil is a true synthetic because of the refining process it is 2nd to none, Pennzoil platinum is a full synthetic because it is not made from crude oil at all but natural gas, the best base oil out there, less carbon, less additives to do the same job, all the other synthetic oils are just on the border of being able to advertise it as a synthetic
My 2022 was chaos !! It ate itself at 30k. Toyota superceded the pistons and the bearings part #s according to a well known toyoats tech. I will be sending my oil out to Blackstone for analysis before the warantee expires. Idk if my replaced short block has those newer parts or not. The only difference after the replaced block is a slight decrease in mpg and I mean slight...I wish toyota had replaced the whole engine also because who knows if bearing material made it up into the top of the engine or turbos...time will tell I guess.
Also, as some side info. When mine failed in February, the dealer told me they had 3 waiting for blocks. He didn't say what years they were but 30k I was told is about the average when the main bearing seems to let go.
See Car Care Nut (Toyota mechanic). He has good insight into the Tundra recall and possible problems with engine. He bought a 24 Tundra. I think I’ll wait for the 2025 refresh!
I never said it was a myth, I do think thousands of people who don't own a Tundra are casting lots of shade online with tiny bits of information based on a video they saw. Right now the failure rate is .26% about 900 out of 400,000. But some on the internet would have you believe Tundras are littering the highways broken down.
Been thinking of upgrading to the Tundra from the Tacoma, but like everyone else been hearing allot of bad things about new motor and recalls due too it
I don’t regret it, my son drove mine and traded for one too. I think there are too many videos driving panic. There are legitimate concerns, but also a 60/60 drive train warranty and a .26% issue. I like the new Tacoma too!
Any vehicle with open recalls is not usually accepted in trade in. Since it can't be resold until the open recall is done. Takata airbags, electrical issues and all kinds of issues can case recalls and there are dozens of makes and models of vehicles with recalls at this time.
JIMMY .. I have a 2023 Tundra my first oil change was at 1200 miles usually i replace it at 1000 miles . I've owned Toyota's for 45 years and occasionally purchased other brands.. I have 4 vehicle that i maintained . The FIRST oil change is VERY important to get the Micro filings out.. These NEW engines today with twin turbos are even more important for your first oil change .. Toyota sent me a recall that over a 100,000 engines maybe contaminated with machine fillings .. Toyota oil changes in the MANUEL shows at 10,000 miles interval .. I will NEVER change oil at that mileage my MAX is 5000 miles with full synthetic ultra pennzoil ..PERIOD ..MY vehicles get about 250,000 miles before i sale them and they still purr like a kitten...
Oil travels from the oil pan, thru the pump and directly into the filter, from there to the crankshaft and rod bearings, then up to the cams and turbos. Gravity brings the oil and anything in it back to the oil pan.
@JimmyMakingitwork he's making the case that any shavings that were left behind will be trapped at the crank where the bearing oil hole is, it can't get past the crank because it is grinding into the crank. The clearances aren't enough to allow the debris through. That's why it (partially) blocks oil flow for a long period, then eventually fries the bearing. You would never see those pieces in the oil filter as they are blocked from circulating. They are too big. What you MIGHT see would be smaller pieces of metal as the bearings wear. Only an oil analysis would be able to detect slower bearing wear that would be out of spec. Cheers.
@@jonesjones7057 good point, metal in a crankshaft it trapped there forever, and the filter only filters some of the oil, at higher rpm most is bypassed
Good morning Sir Jimmy of making it work. Amen on the shock jocks of minimal knowledge. I to like to know the why or what was different. How long was the oil change interval on the so called defective engines. Can it be traced to one or a group of parts that were defective. Could it be full synthetic being used? Was there sludge in the engine? What type of fuel (grade and tier) was being used? Was any GDI services ever performed? Was the oil level checked often enough? Was there any oil loss between changes. Data is always the key. As always great video Jimmy. From a Jack of all trades, yet master of none!
Enjoy the videos. So just to confirm for a new truck you would suggest the first oil change happen at 1,500 miles? I wasn't sure if you were doing it now because of it being a Tundra etc.
That is correct. I like to Do the first one early on all vehicles. But of course on this truck I also cut open the filter and did the video for people wondering.
the first oil change is the most important one 1,500 miles is about right, the owner manual will not tell you that but new parts will leave some metal just from rough edges of castings, the break in metal from the rings seating and sealers and gaskets that leave some contaminants
You said Discount but not how much. Is that classified information? I shopped for a new Tundra 2 months ago and they offered only 1 k under sticker on a Limited 6.5 bed. It's still sitting and a new sales guy called hinting at 10K discount.
Changed my 2024's oil & filter at 1500 miles. I saw no signs of visible metal debris. I just changed the oil only,( no filter)again at 5000k. I'm going with manufacturer"s recommendation of Mobil 1 full synthetic, as I have done for several Tundras now. This is my 6th Tundra. I've babied every one of them. I have to say, I'm a bit disappointed in the 2024. I miss the V8, and my 2019 TRD Pro. The new truck drives very nicely. I absolutely hate the fact that it's constantly beeping at me. The automatic braking, when backing into a parking spot has scared the crap out of me, many times. The turning radius is horrible, compared to my 2019, but not as bad as the dreaded 2005. I just miss the simplicity of my V8, and its reliability.
Sounds like a great plan! From what engineers are saying the new Turbo V6 has been tested well over a million miles. But the few that have had trouble are something to do with machining debris, the design is solid from what they tell me. We will know in another year or so.
LOL LOL LOL,, I had to back and liston to that again,, I'm getting ready to spend The day with the grandson and i Thought that was what you said,, that is funny.. my wife loves toyota's and they have been good to us as well.. I don't care what you buy anymore Some have bigger problems than others BUT Toyota's are for the most a part a very good vehicle And you have a great looking truck there as well!! See you in the next video.. FROM TOM.. You said You didn't want us to thank you was Hideing all engine parts.. LOL
I like that big pipe cutter. I'll have to get one of those. I've got a 23 Tundra. I've been using full synthetic. The manual shows ILSAC GF-6A multigrade engine oil which is also in the back of the Mobil 1 synthetic that I have been using. Isn't this a full synthetic oil or does this std not specify synthetic?
if you have over 2,000 miles on it use Amsoil or Pennzoil platinum full synthetic, mobil 1 is at the bottom of the list as far as oil goes, and if you get over 100,000, go with a higher viscosity, your timing chain will be happy
instead of the trash talkers trash talking about how the filter will be full of glitter, they would be better off saying all the infotanment system stuff is spyware and don't be shocked when they sell off your driving data to an insurance company which ends up raising your rates. (GM is confirmed to be doing this, and very likely they all are doing it)
When you cut the filter open, you checked the outside pleats, but never showed us the inner pleats. Doesn't the oil flow from the center perforated tube outward?
Glad your engine looks healthy. However, it still doesn’t explain why some are granading. It’s mentioned 900 out of 103K went bad. Even though it sounds like minuscule number, you gotta wonder when buying a new Tundra…Am I the lucky one today OR will mine fail? Personally, I don’t like to gamble in this case. Whether or not its a leftover debris or a design flaw (time will tell), I am not taking chances. Especially, when the manufacturer acknowledged there is a problem. Hope you are the luck one.
Yeah, about 900 and 103k recalled for inspection. But they made over 400,000 of these engines. The internet is running with it because sensationalism sells and people don’t know any better than what they are told. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!
@@JimmyMakingitwork its a known issue, and toyota changed the 1 and 4 bearing 4/24 build date forward, i like the tk but facts are facts, good luck to all.
Toyota is ok with it, as long as the oil used meets GF-6 ratings. But the engine I installed in my 62 C10 says to not use Synthetic the first 9k miles to complete break in properly first.
@@JimmyMakingitwork 0w-20 is not a blend… no blend meets that standard or that weight. The idea that break in periods require non synthetic oils in any capacity is simply not true.
@@DirtE30 I have to agree with you, Pennzoil platinum meets GF-6 standards and is a full synthetic, modern engines do not need a break in oil, but if you buy a reman then you better follow instuctions or the rings may not seat correctly
Great video. Thank you. The Toyota haters are not good at math, it appears. The failure rate on engines at the time the recall was issued in late May was 0.27%. 0.27% of the Tundra's in service at the time of the recall had engine failure of some type. That includes all years 22, 23, 24. Could more of them fail, sure they could. But, if you like the truck, you have a 99.7% chance you will have solid truck, so get it and enjoy it. I would like to know what the failure rate is on engines for GM, Ford, Ram, etc. Heck, for all we know, 0.27% is an acceptable rate. Toyota haters are gonna hate, and those who loved their 5.7 previous gen are going to always take shots at the turbo V6........until they go buy one themselves and feel that power.
There is an issue or a recall wouldn't be sent out , one side the Toyota fan boys say it's impossible, and the other side says there's every engine iis blowning up . What is it
I don't get why you went so long before the first oil change. Road trip on original oil? I have a 2024 Colorado and had oil and filter changed at the dealer (first one free) at 867 miles. Also don't understand why you'd use a smaller oil filter. Just my opinion. That 0-20 oil looks like water... Hope it lasts a long time.
I wanted to change it between 500 and 1500 miles, since we're in that window it was still well before the manufactures recommended first oil change. I don't think how we put the miles on for the first 1500 miles was an issue, I would avoid a long flat road with the cruise on like in the midwest or similar though. The filter I used is 1/4" shorter. But I have OEM filters for the next oil changes and my Sons 24 TRD Tundra also. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment.
Look I'm 40 and work next to a guy that's old then me I don't know everything and im.fast and make my hours bit ill believe old and seen stuff is better then a book u read
I don't understand why mechanics don't follow the standard break in procedure anymore? The first oil change should be between 60 and 100 miles of easy driving, the second oil change should be between 500 and 800 miles of regular driving, and the third oil change between 3000 and 4000 miles with more aggressive driving. Regular oil change intervals after that. Break in oil for the first oil change, synthetic blend for the second and third, and then full synthetic after that on regular intervals.
The manufacturer recommends much higher intervals. I always exceed those, by about half in most cases. The oil in mine looked brand new after 1500 miles. Changing it more wouldn’t hurt, but also wouldn’t accomplish anything other than good vibes.
As a master mechanic of 26 years where is this standard break in procedure? Manufacture sets the break in procedure for the product they’re putting out into market, their break in procedure is the one that matters when it comes to the warranty. As far as the consumer they bought the product they can do whatever break in procedure they want! In this day and age of engines they’re far cleaner than engines of 20+ years ago. Oils don’t break down as fast as they used to
There is a reason you got that Discount, and it was not your good looks or charming personality. Toyota is only concerned with just a few trucks, a 100K trucks in this recall. It is not a big deal because I bought a 22 GX instead and my 2000 Tundra isn't near worn out yet, naturally aspirated, oh what a feeling!
yes I know all about the downfall of NAPA, I own a shop in Akron Ohio been on my own since 1993, was a loyal NAPA guy for a very long time, the oil filters were supplied by WIX, one of the best, the proformer was a good filter at a good price, NAPA was sold to investors that are only into profits, not cars, all they have is junk now and very hard to get a warranty, you have to send the part in for inspection to get a replacement it cost me thousands of dollars before I figured it out, brake rotors that would flake apart in less than a year, ceramic pads that will turn wheels black in days, I am an Orielly guy now, had to put thousands of dollars of NAPA parts on the curb and replace them with Orielly parts out of my own pocket, do not trust NAPA on anything, it is just a money grab, you can get better crappy parts on Amazon
Yeah, it is a common practice lately to take a brand built on quality and ramp up the profits to bring it back down. Hope they turn it around. Oriellys started as a wholesaler, basically Napa used to buy from them too.
Glad to hear!! There are 24s out there throwing bearings... Hope yours survives.
Thanks for watching.
@@vettle1 Is the word “throwing” a technical term? LOL.

Toyota announced they are replacing entire engines in many of the recalled vehicles. :)
Majority of break-in wear is 20 microns or less, much smaller than the eye can see. It takes about 8-10k miles to fully breakin the engibe. Next time, cut the pleats, then squeeze the oil out using a vise. You will be able to see much more. BTW, I'm an engineer, started using Amsoil in 1989.
I was looking for problem material, visible to the naked eye. Luckily nothing that bad. Thanks for the tip and leaving a comment!
@@tssci6774 which component inside the engine takes that long to be broken in?
@scorpio_9810 cam lobes, chains, pumps, and cylinder rings. Frequent, early oil changes will speed up the process, and get to the point that wear metal rate reaches normal levels. Wear metals circulating in the oil will cause additional wear.
Thanks for the info.
Great Video!
I'm a retired ME and of course old school.
I really appreciate seeing unbiased old school content!
I have a 23 Tundra with 12k on the clock, and have had zero issues so far, the sky is not falling like many would like us to believe. Keep up the great work!
(My change intervals every 5k)
Thanks for sharing! That is a great plan I think for maintenance on any modern vehicle!
I have been looking for the oil filter on my 1951 chevy pickup for decades, still can not find it but I just do drain and fills every 500 miles and mess with parts guys LOL, oh yea 500 miles is over a year for that truck
That should have a steel canister filter, with a 5/8 bolt in the center. I’d want to get that changed!
Sounds like a cool truck though!
Haha
The oil looked clean and glitter free. Filter media also looked clean. I'm impressed by the drain tray for the oil filter.
Yeah, I thought so too. Just a 5/8 hose from perfect. :)
A trick I used to change oil on mine...........a water bottle fits right over that drain. Works perfectly to catch the oil from the filter.
My 23 tundra is at 26k miles and I did 1k, 5k ... oci. I've only encountered one stall event and the truck managed to start up in a sec or two and everything was fine. Haven't done any oil testing but I do see some sparkles in the oil but not too concerned anymore since the recall was issued. Still a great truck and drives like a diesel and gets good mileage can't complain lol.
That is good to hear. Toyota is really stepping up for those with trouble. They are usually the best when it comes To that.
Good Stuff Jimmy as always. Main reason I subscribed to your channel about a year and a half ago and watch your videos daily during the week is beside the interesting work you do daily you seem like a very genuine and honest person and I commend you for that Sir. Appreciate all the work you do.
Awesome! Thank you very much for saying so!
Jimmy, I have a 23 Tundra 4X4 Limited. I purchased it in March of 2023. I also change my own oil. I did it at 500 miles, then drove it 3000 miles in a week. I have had zero issues with my truck in 12K miles. I really like the oil filter hose connector. It makes changing the filter way less messy. As for the massive catastrophic engine failures, the last I heard it was less than 900 of 103,000 vehicles. That is less than 1%. I run Amsoil OE 0W-20 oil since I change it every 5000 miles. I like you bought multiple Toyota OE oil filters for it. They are actually cheaper than other filters, and Toyota will not be able to say issues was caused by a aftermarket oil filter. I hope it don’t, but if it does blow up, I’ll get a new short block under warranty and keep going. Your truck is the color I wanted when I bought mine, but I had 2 choices, black or none. Good luck with your truck and thanks for posting.
That is awesome to hear, thanks for watching and leaving a comment!
I’m on my second Tundra, first was the 2007 SR5 that I drove 128,000 with the 5.7 liter engine, one water pump, tires, brakes, every feature worked when I traded for a 2016 1794 with the 5.7 engine, 148,000 now and same experience, one water pump, tires, brakes, change oil every 4-5 M miles and do all the major services in the manual, Great Trucks and agree most of the negative comments come from people that have never owned a Tundra.
At the time of the recall it was just over 800 engines on nearly 300,000 in service. A failure rate of 0.27% at the time of the recall.
Awesome truck. Hope things get resolved with the messy recall. Enjoyed the oil 🛢 change 👌.
Thank you!
Should be no sparkles,use a magnet to pick up containents. Try a magnetic drain plug they work!
Thanks for the tips.
It is under Warranty who cares!
no worries jimmy , its a clean truck ,Ill give it a 10 👍
Haha thanks OB!
23 1794 edition 10k miles got it near columbus oh as a dealer demo trd lift dealer installed. Love mine only thing i noticed is an intermittent rough idle. Mine is right at the cut off on the recall . Either way i know toyota will take care of the customers so im not real concerned. They make great stuff and i will continue to buy it
That’s awesome! I agree 100%!
If you press windshield washers control down and hold it there for 3 seconds, the air dump will come down and you can remove the dust cover.
Yeah I might do it next time, but it wasn’t difficult to get the filter with it up really.
A few years ago I bought the only new vehicle I have ever bought. I had the first oil change on my 2021 Chevy 2500 HD with the 6.6 gas done at 1000 miles. Dealer thought I was nuts. Oil and filter is the cheapest part of an engine!
Very true, hope you're enjoying the truck!
Tundra is Looking good! I bought a new truck as well and my first oil change will be at 1000 miles 👍
Sounds great! Always like to do an early first oil change! Congrats on the new Truck! Nothing like that new truck smell!
Pleasant surprise this morning! thanks for the video Jimmy! Have a great day.
Thanks, you too Kathy! Gonna be a great weekend!
toyota did a good job with the design of the oil containment flange by the filter by using a drain system you can attach a hose to. good ☘️ with the tundra jimmy ! I did the oil change on my new bronco at 982 miles 2.3 t. also a case of factory oil filter for my home stock pile.
Yeah, that is a good plan Alex. I did get some OEM filters for Next change and on my sons Tundra.
I think the only issue you might have with this beautiful pickup is the front differential but enjoy it as long as you can.
We shall see. Thanks.
Even Isky cams says not to use synthetic oil with flat tappet lifters,use break in oil first to break the camshaft in properly.Change the oil at 500 miles using break in oil and then your choice of oil with the second oil change.My dad found out,Isky puts a sheet of paper with information with their camshafts.He put one in a Chrysler 354 fireball Hemi
The manufacturer of the 383 Crate motor I installed in my 62 C10 says using synthetic before 9,000 miles voids the warranty on the engine.
BluePrint Engines.
Nice truck, best wishes. Toyota's known for its reliability & resolving its recalls promptly. Toyota has all the info, so wish there was a way to verify the numbers. If Toyota owners experience a problem, isn't it best to share the experience? No warm fuzzy feeling from the resolution getting pushed back. Toyota's silence just allows the rumor mill to turn. Toyota is quality, but I think they can do better handling this.
Couldn't agree more!
Love the new Red Tundra Jimmy!! Super sharp! I want one now! What package did you get? I saw by the wheels, it's TRD wheels... but not sure you got the actual TRD ?? Love it! Great color / interior... and the great care you give it. I like to Oil change after first 500 miles, then another at 2,500 then every 5,000 for the life of the vehicle. I'm not a big believer is the oil filter saga on TH-cam. I saw if you maintain your vehicle you will have no issues. My Mom and Dad had a 79 Monte Carlo with a 305 V8 and Turbo 200 automatic. I learned how to change oil on that car... every 5-6,000 miles and used the il l-fated orange frame filters. Never a problem. Well over 150,000 miles later, on regular Valvoline 10w-30 and an nice orange Fram filter (LOL), car ran like new, and body was in excellent shape (I washed and waxed it all the time and oiled the doors with motor oil every fall). Car lasted over 12 years and still looked great ... even living in Metro Detroit Salt! Trans failed at 110K. about 3 times life expectancy? LOL
Mine is the SR5 XP Series with Premium package that adds big screen, leather style interior, TRD wheels, black trim, running boards and some other goodies like back up sensors and blind spot warning. Loving it!
Thank you!
Thanks for posting. Nice Truck.
No problem 👍 thank you!
Thanks for the sunshade tip, I tried several from Amazon, couldn't find one that beat my old one.
This is the one I'm using. I can be cumbersome to put up, but it covers the entire windshield for Florida sun it works great.

Great video brother. Thank you!
My pleasure!!
I have a 2024 SR5 long bed only 3,900 miles so far, I really couldn't agree with you more about all the negative drama,coming from another bald good looking guy like myself. Thank you for your video
Haha thanks very much Jacob, enjoy it!
l have a first generation tundra change the oil every 5000 miles since it is the first GEN it’s on its second timing belt 280,000 miles on it now and tires and brakes, and one alternator, and one starter and a couple of coils is all that’s been put into this truck in 24 years not too bad i have the 4.7 liter v8
Nice, they are great trucks! Just have to keep the underneath treated if you live north.
Take the 2 10mm bolts in the middle of the wing and it drops out of the way simple!
Very true.
I love my Tundra, shock jocks 😂 yes I hate that stuff from the 1%ers. Thanks Jimmy
Appreciate you Spanky!
You guys reading the comments have checked out Spanky TH-cam channel, right? ;)
Call your dealer and ask them if they are interested in taking it in on a trade? Good chance that they say no!
Why trade in a vehicle I just got? My only concern is three years from now.
There's a good reason they don't want them back on trade.
It's not rocket science, but a stumbling block for the Toyota Fanboyz 😃
Thank you for your videos Jimmy.
Are you familiar with the channel “The Car Care Nut”? Master Toyota Technician who just bought a new Tundra. Excellent video regarding the engine recall issue.
Yeah I am subscribed to his channel. Lots of Good info there.
I wonder if he watches mine.
I believe the problem is that owners of (any new vehicle) are not following the engine break-in guidelines. Most have never read them.
Probably true! First thing is to look at those guidelines since they can be very helpful!
Things like no towing during break in, no long term steady engine speeds at first and so on.
If you are noticing metal, it’s probably a little too late given the tolerances on those mains. Oil analysis will pickup bearing wear you won’t see.
Oil analysis always shows some metal, which lessens after break in then increases again towards the end of an engines life. Main bearing clearances of .0015 to .0025 can handle microscopic particles not visible to the eye. Bearing material is actually quite forgiving at these particle sizes, but the larger sizes cause the damage 900 or so truck experienced.
@@JimmyMakingitwork There are normal ranges of bearing material in the oil though. That's my point. I use blackstone labs for my personal trucks, but use Caterpillar for all the company trucks and heavy equipment. We don't can almost always tell when an engine is about to fail based on oil analysis and total fuel consumed. For example, with no red flags on oil analysis, a CAT C175-16 can go for 950,000 gallons of diesel before rebuild. If metals are higher than normal, it can fail a lot quicker. These new Tundra engines are failing with random mileage from 5k up to 60k from what I have seen. There's got to be excessive wear, but not enough to always see in a filter. That's why I would be doing the oil analysis. You might lose one at 60k miles, but not see visible metal until 55k. Then it's too late.
Don't run engine for short period after cold start. If it has a vacuum hose for fuel return, make sure it's connected and in good shape. Fuel smell from exhaust or used oil are signs of cylinder wash.
I watched his video recently also, even left a comment. ;)
I did my first oil change at 3500. After all the hoopla I changed the oil and filter again at 7500, cut the filter open and absolutely nothing. My 2023 Tundra is the best performing smoothest riding vehicle I have ever owned. I have owned 8 different Toyota trucks, every one of them has given me long service life with minimal maintenance. I have worked on all brands of vehicles in my life time. Toyota and Honda are so far ahead of everyone else, they are absolutely in a league of their own.
I agree Stew, this is my 3rd Toyota truck. My son also bought a 24 Tundra TRD OffRoad. We'll do a video of his first oil change around 1000 miles also.
Thanks for the video Jimmy!
Thank you for the support! Wanted you guys to see it first! You’ll get Fridays video tonight also. ;)
You know Jimmy I went with the Toyota oil filter,, I used to buy the heavy Filtration filters BUT I got to thinking It might not flow as good the oil.. Basic oil filter is gonna be good I think Like you say change the On time.. i do about 3000 are 4000 my wife doses a lot of city driving.. great video Jimmy..
Thanks Tom. I did get some Toyota oil filters for my sons and my next oil
Change.
I will admit that I do Not know more than the engineers, so I do believe that the Toyota Oil is best, over Amsoil or other shelf brand oils. Will use it in my new Toyota! As far as oil filters, OEM all the way, nothing but.
That’s a good plan!
Where are you located? How does the oil change on this Tundra compare to an F150EB, GM 5.3, etc. Appreciate your honest candor and of course, don't ever let the trolls get to you!! People can so easily hide behind a moniker ...
We are in Kissimmee, Florida. The oil change on the Tundra is similar to the F150 and GM trucks, but the Tundra does hold 8 quarts of oil. I think the Ford and Chevy are 6 or 7 quarts from memory.
Thanks very much.
Even with Toyotas recent engine issues, they are still a fantastic manufacturer. If I were to ever buy an "import", it would be a toyota.
Thanks very much! I agree.
You guys are a cult.
@@jimr549 ok?
@@GWN90 You keep telling yourself that, very misinformed 🥴
Rumor? Wasn't the metal shavings idea Toyotas explanation? 1:26
The rumor is that they all explode and new Tundra's are littering public roads broken down. ;)
@@JimmyMakingitwork Not on the channels I follow but 2021-2023 had significant failures but at 30-60k miles.
@@JimmyMakingitwork Take a look at "The Car Guy Online" Jimmy..He presents a good documented picture of how many are failing by model year etc. My concern is in my view Toyota hasn't identified the cause or the fix as far as I know.
@@alanmorrison3598 its a known issue, and toyota changed the 1 and 4 bearing 4/24 build date forward, i like the tk but facts are facts, good luck to all.
I think your choice of Amsoil and Toyota filters is great, Amsoil is the best oil, I use Pennzoil platinum only because it is easy to get and is a very close 2nd, those 2 oils are the only true synthetic oils all the others are blends, Amsoil is a true synthetic because of the refining process it is 2nd to none, Pennzoil platinum is a full synthetic because it is not made from crude oil at all but natural gas, the best base oil out there, less carbon, less additives to do the same job, all the other synthetic oils are just on the border of being able to advertise it as a synthetic
Yeah, that is what I’ve found also Jim. I like the Oil Geek on TH-cam. Lake Speed Jr. he has lots of good videos about it!
@@JimmyMakingitwork Did you see his discussion regarding not to mix oils?
Thanks for sharing .
My pleasure
Hi, is your tundra an xp with a trd package or standard? Just curious. Thank you
It is a standard XP Package with the upgraded screen, tech package and softex interior.
My 2022 was chaos !! It ate itself at 30k. Toyota superceded the pistons and the bearings part #s according to a well known toyoats tech. I will be sending my oil out to Blackstone for analysis before the warantee expires. Idk if my replaced short block has those newer parts or not. The only difference after the replaced block is a slight decrease in mpg and I mean slight...I wish toyota had replaced the whole engine also because who knows if bearing material made it up into the top of the engine or turbos...time will tell I guess.
Wow, sorry to hear that happened to yours. Hope it is sorted now and no more troubles! Let us know how it goes later on down the road.
Thanks.
@JimmyMakingitwork I will try to get back here with a Blackstone results at 50k miles. Probably fall or winter
Also, as some side info. When mine failed in February, the dealer told me they had 3 waiting for blocks. He didn't say what years they were but 30k I was told is about the average when the main bearing seems to let go.
See Car Care Nut (Toyota mechanic). He has good insight into the Tundra recall and possible problems with engine. He bought a 24 Tundra. I think I’ll wait for the 2025 refresh!
Love your video. Gonna do the same to my '24 with iForceMax when it hit 2000 miles
I'll be doing it on my sons 24 TRD OffRoad Limited iForceMax at 1,000 miles also.
Enjoy it, great trucks!
Have a great weekend Jimmy!
Thanks, you too Scott!
Great video! Just wondering why you think the recall is a myth with all the people having issues ? Thanks
I never said it was a myth, I do think thousands of people who don't own a Tundra are casting lots of shade online with tiny bits of information based on a video they saw.
Right now the failure rate is .26% about 900 out of 400,000. But some on the internet would have you believe Tundras are littering the highways broken down.
Looking good.
Thanks
Great video!!
Thanks!
That funnel That you have has the bottom clear part that will screw right into your Toyota oil fill.
Nice, have to look at that next time. Thanks
@JimmyMakingitwork I have one for my two Hondas. MotivX tools is the name of mine.
Been thinking of upgrading to the Tundra from the Tacoma, but like everyone else been hearing allot of bad things about new motor and recalls due too it
I don’t regret it, my son drove mine and traded for one too. I think there are too many videos driving panic. There are legitimate concerns, but also a 60/60 drive train warranty and a .26% issue.
I like the new Tacoma too!
But you know other dealerships are not accepting Tundras as trade in...
Any vehicle with open recalls is not usually accepted in trade in. Since it can't be resold until the open recall is done. Takata airbags, electrical issues and all kinds of issues can case recalls and there are dozens of makes and models of vehicles with recalls at this time.
The main beatings are disintegrating. They changed bearing quietly because of that.
It's not block casting debris....
Thanks for watching.
Noticed you don't put oil in the filter prior to installing.
Some do, some don't
I always have
I usually do, but this filter is horizontal and much would just pour out during installation.
@@JimmyMakingitwork Didn't see or know that. Saw the hose fitting pointing down (iirc) and assumed...nuff said
JIMMY .. I have a 2023 Tundra my first oil change was at 1200 miles usually i replace it at 1000 miles . I've owned Toyota's for 45 years and occasionally purchased other brands.. I have 4 vehicle that i maintained . The FIRST oil change is VERY important to get the Micro filings out.. These NEW engines today with twin turbos are even more important for your first oil change .. Toyota sent me a recall that over a 100,000 engines maybe contaminated with machine fillings .. Toyota oil changes in the MANUEL shows at 10,000 miles interval .. I will NEVER change oil at that mileage my MAX is 5000 miles with full synthetic ultra pennzoil ..PERIOD ..MY vehicles get about 250,000 miles before i sale them and they still purr like a kitten...
Very true, that is a good plan Larry! Thank you
50 years of toyotas 4 cars 3 trucks....tires,,brakes , services, 1 water pump, 1 coil, 1 set of struts, 1 oil filter housing.
Very nice! Thanks Ken!
The way oil flows in that engine. Metal may never make it to the filter. It hits the first bearing before anything else
Oil travels from the oil pan, thru the pump and directly into the filter, from there to the crankshaft and rod bearings, then up to the cams and turbos. Gravity brings the oil and anything in it back to the oil pan.
@JimmyMakingitwork he's making the case that any shavings that were left behind will be trapped at the crank where the bearing oil hole is, it can't get past the crank because it is grinding into the crank. The clearances aren't enough to allow the debris through. That's why it (partially) blocks oil flow for a long period, then eventually fries the bearing.
You would never see those pieces in the oil filter as they are blocked from circulating. They are too big.
What you MIGHT see would be smaller pieces of metal as the bearings wear. Only an oil analysis would be able to detect slower bearing wear that would be out of spec. Cheers.
@@jonesjones7057 good point, metal in a crankshaft it trapped there forever, and the filter only filters some of the oil, at higher rpm most is bypassed
Good morning Sir Jimmy of making it work. Amen on the shock jocks of minimal knowledge. I to like to know the why or what was different. How long was the oil change interval on the so called defective engines. Can it be traced to one or a group of parts that were defective. Could it be full synthetic being used? Was there sludge in the engine? What type of fuel (grade and tier) was being used? Was any GDI services ever performed? Was the oil level checked often enough? Was there any oil loss between changes. Data is always the key.
As always great video Jimmy. From a Jack of all trades, yet master of none!
Very true! Thank you my friend!
its a known issue, and toyota changed the 1 and 4 bearing 4/24 build date forward, i like the tk but facts are facts, good luck to all.
To save motor add out side oil cooler
Thanks Richard.
Nice truck Jimmy! Enjoyed the video
Thanks 👍 Rambo!
Enjoy the videos. So just to confirm for a new truck you would suggest the first oil change happen at 1,500 miles? I wasn't sure if you were doing it now because of it being a Tundra etc.
That is correct. I like to
Do the first one early on all vehicles. But of course on this truck I also cut open the filter and did the video for people wondering.
the first oil change is the most important one 1,500 miles is about right, the owner manual will not tell you that but new parts will leave some metal just from rough edges of castings, the break in metal from the rings seating and sealers and gaskets that leave some contaminants
You said Discount but not how much. Is that classified information? I shopped for a new Tundra 2 months ago and they offered only 1 k under sticker on a Limited 6.5 bed. It's still sitting and a new sales guy called hinting at 10K discount.
The discounts right now are $3500-$10,000 depending on trim levels. I got $5500 off on mine.
Changed my 2024's oil & filter at 1500 miles. I saw no signs of visible metal debris. I just changed the oil only,( no filter)again at 5000k. I'm going with manufacturer"s recommendation of Mobil 1 full synthetic, as I have done for several Tundras now. This is my 6th Tundra. I've babied every one of them. I have to say, I'm a bit disappointed in the 2024. I miss the V8, and my 2019 TRD Pro. The new truck drives very nicely. I absolutely hate the fact that it's constantly beeping at me. The automatic braking, when backing into a parking spot has scared the crap out of me, many times. The turning radius is horrible, compared to my 2019, but not as bad as the dreaded 2005. I just miss the simplicity of my V8, and its reliability.
Sounds like a great plan! From what engineers are saying the new Turbo V6 has been tested well over a million miles. But the few that have had trouble are something to do with machining debris, the design is solid from what they tell me.
We will know in another year or so.
@@JimmyMakingitwork I hope so; fingers crossed!

Awesome video ❤the truck what model sub model?
It is an SR5 XP Series 4x4.
Love my 1794
Great trucks!
I like that big pipe cutter. I'll have to get one of those. I've got a 23 Tundra. I've been using full synthetic. The manual shows ILSAC GF-6A multigrade engine oil which is also in the back of the Mobil 1 synthetic that I have been using. Isn't this a full synthetic oil or does this std not specify synthetic?
In my manual it says synthetic blend. I would think it can use either, but want to stick with their recommendations the first 10,000 or so for sure.
if you have over 2,000 miles on it use Amsoil or Pennzoil platinum full synthetic, mobil 1 is at the bottom of the list as far as oil goes, and if you get over 100,000, go with a higher viscosity, your timing chain will be happy
instead of the trash talkers trash talking about how the filter will be full of glitter, they would be better off saying all the infotanment system stuff is spyware and don't be shocked when they sell off your driving data to an insurance company which ends up raising your rates. (GM is confirmed to be doing this, and very likely they all are doing it)
Yeah they have had data trackers since the late 80’s.
Love rating of 6 drink can so best I can do.
lol. Gum Container. But a deduction just the same.
When you cut the filter open, you checked the outside pleats, but never showed us the inner pleats. Doesn't the oil flow from the center perforated tube outward?
The oil flows into the outside then up the center. This is why there is a tube in the center to avoid collapsing if the filter is neglected.
@@JimmyMakingitwork Gotcha, but still would have been nice to see the other side. Good luck 🤞
I dont think ive seen a synthetic blend 0w-20, all have been full synthetic
We have 55 gallon drums. But I’ll be using full synthetic from now on in it.
Nice video.
Many many thanks
Glad your engine looks healthy. However, it still doesn’t explain why some are granading. It’s mentioned 900 out of 103K went bad. Even though it sounds like minuscule number, you gotta wonder when buying a new Tundra…Am I the lucky one today OR will mine fail? Personally, I don’t like to gamble in this case. Whether or not its a leftover debris or a design flaw (time will tell), I am not taking chances. Especially, when the manufacturer acknowledged there is a problem. Hope you are the luck one.
Yeah, about 900 and 103k recalled for inspection. But they made over 400,000 of these engines.
The internet is running with it because sensationalism sells and people don’t know any better than what they are told.

Why do they not recommend full synthetic the 1st 9k miles.
Toyota is ok with it, as long as the oil used meets GF-6 ratings. But the engine I installed in my 62 C10 says to not use Synthetic the first 9k miles to complete break in properly first.

It doesn’t take a blend…
Where did you get that information?
It takes 0w-20 that meets GF-6 standards.
@@JimmyMakingitwork 0w-20 is not a blend… no blend meets that standard or that weight. The idea that break in periods require non synthetic oils in any capacity is simply not true.
@@DirtE30 I have to agree with you, Pennzoil platinum meets GF-6 standards and is a full synthetic, modern engines do not need a break in oil, but if you buy a reman then you better follow instuctions or the rings may not seat correctly
Luving the perks of being a member, by getting videos early
Thanks for all the support! Fridays video for you guys soon!
Great video. Thank you. The Toyota haters are not good at math, it appears. The failure rate on engines at the time the recall was issued in late May was 0.27%. 0.27% of the Tundra's in service at the time of the recall had engine failure of some type. That includes all years 22, 23, 24. Could more of them fail, sure they could. But, if you like the truck, you have a 99.7% chance you will have solid truck, so get it and enjoy it.
I would like to know what the failure rate is on engines for GM, Ford, Ram, etc. Heck, for all we know, 0.27% is an acceptable rate. Toyota haters are gonna hate, and those who loved their 5.7 previous gen are going to always take shots at the turbo V6........until they go buy one themselves and feel that power.
Thanks very much for the input, agree 100%! 💯
Way easier to be a hater than a realist/optimist in today's society.
Yeah it sure seems that way.
What tire size did you go with?
It has 265 20’s from the factory. The XP package adds the TRD wheels and tires. Nitto Grapplers.
I guess you did not see todays news. Toyota is going to replace over 100K V6 engines in the Tundra so there must be a big issue.
Thanks for watching.
There is an issue or a recall wouldn't be sent out , one side the Toyota fan boys say it's impossible, and the other side says there's every engine iis blowning up . What is it
Right now the failure rate is .26% about 900 out of 400,000.
The recall is to try and keep that number from climbing much farther.
I don't get why you went so long before the first oil change. Road trip on original oil?
I have a 2024 Colorado and had oil and filter changed at the dealer (first one free) at 867 miles.
Also don't understand why you'd use a smaller oil filter. Just my opinion.
That 0-20 oil looks like water...
Hope it lasts a long time.
I wanted to change it between 500 and 1500 miles, since we're in that window it was still well before the manufactures recommended first oil change. I don't think how we put the miles on for the first 1500 miles was an issue, I would avoid a long flat road with the cruise on like in the midwest or similar though.
The filter I used is 1/4" shorter. But I have OEM filters for the next oil changes and my Sons 24 TRD Tundra also.
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment.
A few one-ofs at the factory is not uncommon- even for Yoda.
Agreed.
Look I'm 40 and work next to a guy that's old then me I don't know everything and im.fast and make my hours bit ill believe old and seen stuff is better then a book u read
That is usually the case, I agree, thanks for watching and leaving a comment!
I don't understand why mechanics don't follow the standard break in procedure anymore? The first oil change should be between 60 and 100 miles of easy driving, the second oil change should be between 500 and 800 miles of regular driving, and the third oil change between 3000 and 4000 miles with more aggressive driving. Regular oil change intervals after that. Break in oil for the first oil change, synthetic blend for the second and third, and then full synthetic after that on regular intervals.
The manufacturer recommends much higher intervals. I always exceed those, by about half in most cases.
The oil in mine looked brand new after 1500 miles. Changing it more wouldn’t hurt, but also wouldn’t accomplish anything other than good vibes.
As a master mechanic of 26 years where is this standard break in procedure? Manufacture sets the break in procedure for the product they’re putting out into market, their break in procedure is the one that matters when it comes to the warranty. As far as the consumer they bought the product they can do whatever break in procedure they want! In this day and age of engines they’re far cleaner than engines of 20+ years ago. Oils don’t break down as fast as they used to
There is a reason you got that Discount, and it was not your good looks or charming personality. Toyota is only concerned with just a few trucks, a 100K trucks in this recall. It is not a big deal because I bought a 22 GX instead and my 2000 Tundra isn't near worn out yet, naturally aspirated, oh what a feeling!
All 1/2 tons are discounted from all brands right now. Interest rates might also be a factor, as well as a slowing economy.
Give me the good’ld 5.7 V8 engine or give me some dead bearings!
You gotta do you.
yes I know all about the downfall of NAPA, I own a shop in Akron Ohio been on my own since 1993, was a loyal NAPA guy for a very long time, the oil filters were supplied by WIX, one of the best, the proformer was a good filter at a good price, NAPA was sold to investors that are only into profits, not cars, all they have is junk now and very hard to get a warranty, you have to send the part in for inspection to get a replacement it cost me thousands of dollars before I figured it out, brake rotors that would flake apart in less than a year, ceramic pads that will turn wheels black in days, I am an Orielly guy now, had to put thousands of dollars of NAPA parts on the curb and replace them with Orielly parts out of my own pocket, do not trust NAPA on anything, it is just a money grab, you can get better crappy parts on Amazon
Yeah, it is a common practice lately to take a brand built on quality and ramp up the profits to bring it back down.
Hope they turn it around.
Oriellys started as a wholesaler, basically Napa used to buy from them too.
Internet lies!?😮
Internet exaggeration. Setting fires is fun.
Tundras made in 2024 are they loosing motors aswell??
Very few Tundras have lost motors, about 850 or so out of 400,000. Still a problem but not what the internet makes of it.
$30 for a funnel 😂😂😂
Hahahaha ha
The Internet failed us again 😭
lol
I am disappointed that there was no bearing material. I am a bad person. Thank you.
