Break-in oil changes...

@TRDoffroadPRO - Went ahead and archived your posts via screenshot so you can't go back and edit them to say you didn't say something. Receipts have been kept.

 

Look, not to pile on the guy, we’ve all been mistaken about things before. I certainly have. The beauty of the forum is we can share information that’s relative to our Tundra addictions. Trying to claim I’m a troll for sharing that information is not conducive to the normal Kumbaya relationship us intergenerational owners share. Can’t we all just get along?

 

Given that this information was readily available, both on this forum and Toyota's own website, we can get along as long as some people understand they are in the wrong. And proof has been provided for said "opinion-based facts" when in fact, they are factual and evidenced back.

This person won't even reply to any of the replies to them from me. Pretty telling.

 

Yep, and you all are not correct either. They do make the motors in Japan and have before I assume they moved production into the Alabama plant. Lexus had this powerplant in production before they moved it into the Tundra production.

The Hybrid power plant are low production numbers anyway. So, I do not know how Toyota did it, did they ship hybrid motors from overseas into Texas or did they launch them from the Alabama plant. I do not know the answer, but I do recall when Toyota launched the recall, they excluded the Hybrids not necessarily from the recall due to its ability to still manage to have power upon engine failures.

I do know that you all pile drive onto the 3rd gen forum to bash the 3rd gen Tundra as a massive failure which it is not. I like the power it makes and the tech it has makes it the best Tundra to date. It is a great but vastly different Tundra then what came before it. Your failure sheet is less then <1 percent of all Toyota Hyrbids made in 22 and 23.

 

What facts that the failure rate for Hybrids so far from your own sheet is less than 1 percent? That the other recalls for the gas burners were less than 10 percent of all produced Tundra's? Why are you still beating this dead horse. I mean again your facts are over, as the 24s don't have these issues. The 2026 model is about to be released are you all going to still be discussing the 22 and 23 failures into the 28 or 30 model years?

We know how you all feel and want to drive your 200 thousand plus mile Tundra's into the 500–800-thousand-mile range. Eventually if you are brand loyal then you will be driving a 3rd gen. Then these posts will all be archived and ancient history.

 

Goddamn. SudoRyan slapping peeps and calling them "Nancy".

 

Also not piling on, but this does come to mind:
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.

Proverbs 17:28, Even a fool, when he holds his peace, is counted wise; and he that shut his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.

You do not have your facts straight.
It's not a dead horse as much as we would all like it to be.
There are a documented number of 24's with the issue. I do not have the exact number. Is it a large number? No.
The point is, the "facts" as they were initially presented to us by Toyota were not, in fact, completely factual.

 

Not my sheet as I'm not Ryan.

 

You should just stop talking/typing. As @BlackNBlu referenced, you should heed the wisdom found in Proverbs 17:28.

No Tundra or Sequoia has had a Japan made V35A-FTS (Type '21) in it. Ever. Period. End of story.

Hybrids, as evidenced by actual owners who have had failures, does not continue to have "motive power" after a failure.

Are you aware that Toyota's own Corporate Fleet has had failures on both the i-FORCE and i-FORCE MAX?
And the repairs were performed at Toyota of Plano, which happens to be right across the street from TMNA HQ.

 

my dagger.... 06/24 build here.

 

love it when idiots double down

 

are you referencing me when I bought my truck

 

thanks, I owe less on my 23 Tundra Hybrid TRDOR than most people are paying for Gen 2 Tundra's with 60-100k miles on them. The value keeps going up due to the fact that the MSRP on these trucks has been increasing by 6-8 percent annually.

I have a mechanically flawless 23 Toyota Tundra Hybrid with 26k miles and I have put all of them on it form 7 miles forward.

 

#PseudoRyan - Right @hagrid

 

That doesn't mean a lot. Groceries have been going up a lot more than 6-8% annually.

 

No, but if the shoe fits, . I was referring to the guy below and his comments and "sudoRyan" just shutting him up with facts.

 

9/24 here. So close.

 

What is it about oil threads?

 

the summary of most threads when the terms 3rd Gen and Great Trucks or are Reliable comes into a thread.

The 2nd gen guys or gals come into the thread to derail it and let us know what kind of crap wagons we own.

 

For reals...

Just looking for a little confirmation that we all still think oil on new engines need a break-in change. Maybe some insight on the lower spoiler thing (which is still out there as topic of interest).

TBH, loved the 5.7 in the OG...but I don't have any qualms with said motor currently.

 

In this specific case, it has nothing to do with oil, but the ignorance a specific member in this thread, who when shown actual facts, wants to continue to argue about said facts even when said member has been proven wrong more than once.

Last time it was checked, you were the one to derail it because of your ignorance.

 

And for dessert, humble pie.

@Eurodriver

 

Ah yeah, the facts. Why don't you start a sheet about non failures. I could lead it off March of 2023 build took delivery in April of 23 at 7 miles. I currently am close to 27k miles and have zero issues mechanically with the truck.

I must have an outlier or not be in the less than 1 percent group of Hybrid failures. I will take I don't have these problems because these problems where not representative of the whole Tundra's sold. I also state that I had the oil changed at 1000 miles, would this flush out any potential debris, maybe? It is good advice to change your oil at regular periods and not go too long. It extends the engine life and overall longivity of the truck.

 

It's widely believed on this forum that a break-in oil change is worthwhile. When criticized, the go-to response "It's cheap insurance".

I did mine at 660 and again at 2000 to put in 0w30 for towing season. I bought a stack of OEM filters.

Oil weight is another trigger discussion where 5.7 guys love to remind us how prone to failure our 3.4s are.

I'm not Ryan, so nope, won't be starting another Google sheet.

In other news, there seems to be a Sequoia HV failure of the 2025 model year variety. ~3,500 miles on it.

 

Do you know the build date of the sequoia that failed?

 

Don't feed that dood, he was giddy with excitement as he posted the HV Sequoia failure.
