    To drive 50,000 miles a year you have to live in a car. When you going to sell it, let buyer use borescoupe to examine cylinder walls and carbon build up inside engine of your T4R.

    That's exactly what I am gonna do. My GC's 3.6 is going strong at 150,000 miles, I put it on Ultra Platinum from Day 1. Toyota can keep its free oil changes. Thanks for sharing your experience

    Toyota oil may be better but what is the guarantee cheap ass dealers use that? They probably use some cheap bulk oil. I heard Car Care Nut say that

    One-at-this-price stripper. Bought new 34 yrs ago, a $13K leftover. Added Detroit TruTrac, 1”rear spring spacer and “pinstripes”… Factory AC kit and roof rack bought at dealer cost at time of purchase, still blows ice cold 32yrs later. 2022 AG ORP all stock.
    Luckily my POS Kitchen Aid fridge filter doesn’t shut off the water, it just beeps every time you fill your cup.
    I’ve installed a 1 micron carbon whole house filter and just ignore the beeping.

    edit:

    I put a 2.5 x 10 filter canister in-line with the incoming water supply and the whole house is filtered. I just change it every 6mo. The savings on filters will soon pay for the plumbing.

    Acceptable bulk oil that meets the specifications in the owner's manual, but yes bulk tank going to a hose in the ceiling, with a counter on the nozzle. The invoice will show something like "OIL3".
