We have 1991 Ranger with 630,000 miles engine rod bearing is knocking ....the old engines are amazing if you take care of them they will virtually run forever its been in the family since june of 1991
I like the old Rangers too. I had a 92 with the Vulcan engine. I wouldn't mind having one of the old 4 cylinders in mint condition ... IMO they ride better than the little Toyotas.
@@FamilyFriendlyDIY The older Fords Like my 1991 2 wheel drive drive very Comortable i dont like the suspesion on the new ones from 1998 and Newer.... To Me The older Ford xlt twin i beam trucks ride the best.

The 2RZ takes roughly 5.8 quarts of oil. Giving 10w-30 is fine in warm climate but the manual recommends 5w-30 for the occasional cold start for better cold oil flow. When you do fill it up to that amount, you will notice it goes over the full line on the dipstick, don't be afraid, that is normal, you can look it up on a lot of forums
If I didn’t know how much to put in,first place to look would be the owners manual. Second, I would run the engine to fill the filter and any nooks and crannies that hold oil, and then check it. After you’ve figured out the correct amount, write it on the valve cover. No guessing on the next change.
I got a good chuckle there, dropping the plug and haveing to go fish for it, so many times!! For almost ½mil miles that motor has been well taken care of.......Regular Service!
You should probably do more frequent oil changes on a high mileage motor. 3,000 miles is probably best. My 84 Camry is about to hit 400,000 and I do every 3k just like the original owner did.
Would like to add that your Super Tech Oil is rated API/SP and ILSAC/GF-6A, That is the highest rating you can get. Ooo, Super Tech is a Mobil1 oil distributed by Warren Dist. Exxon/Mobil bought up Warren Dist. some time back.
Yeah. I think it will have an effect eventually. The internet seems to help level the playing field. Now the average Joe (or Jill) can get word out to millions of people, instead of just the advertising and news companies.
Thanks, and good question, Trifon. I had to go back and look. Typically I run 5W30 in all my vehicles. Toyota okays 10w30 for warmer climates (which I live in) ... I think that was my reasoning. Thanks for the comment.
If you live in the north or central US take a good look underneath of it the biggest problem with the tacos is frame rust. In the middle of swapping the frame on mine just got the truck back running and driving today still have to button up a few things and get the bed on. It’s a 2000 5 speed 4x4 v6 Trd off-road only has 151k hopefully she’ll last me a long time I have no worries that it won’t though just as long as rust doesn’t come back it is bad here in Kentucky. The rearend housing had some rust on it but couldn’t afford to replace it just gonna throw some undercoating in it or paint. Had to go to Alabama to get a good frame
I know it's not as clean as the one I got my old so I paid $5,500 for it okay I had about thirty other ones that I pay 2004 and they have no rent right but they won't like brand-new put brand new frames either
My dad had a 2001 dodge ram he would change the oil once a year with Mobile 1 full synthetic. It had 250,000 miles when he gave it to my brother. My brother took it to the race track drifted and abused it. He end up selling it with 350,000 miles on it. Never smoked or consumed oil. I believe in Mobile 1
Yeah I think that was the worst Dodge Ram ever yeah they had just blow up on those things so I'm pretty surprised I don't like even if no one talk but yet to get that kind of money definitely got your money's worth out of it
Father in-law always performs his own oil change on 06 Silverado using supertech oil and filter . Truck has 287k miles on it and still takes it road trips. Owned since new and never took it to get service at dealership. Still running strong. Now I'm using supertech as well.

I don't get it. I burp next to my GMC and it throws a check engine light. You brag about not checking the oil on a half a million mile truck? sure, don't change the washer. it will never leak. you know what!!! don't bother putting the drain plug back. It's a Toyota, she will clench her plug for you so you can do another what was it? 5 million miles? damn it GMC, why can't you be like that?
Lol. Sorry about that, Ed. ... To be honest, I don't think I've ever changed an oil-pan crush washer (transmission pan, yes) on any vehicle I've ever owned, and I've never had a fill plug leak. I did just check the oil in the truck 2 days ago, first time since that oil change 8 months ago. Still full and still honey-colored. I'm amazed myself. Thanks for the comment!
There's a reasonable argument among experienced mechanics who've learned the hard way that you should absolutely not do that because you can inadvertently introduce foreign debris particles into the unfiltered side. It's why many manufacturers explicitly say to not do that. The filter isn't dry and the engine isn't un lubed once you refill the engine up with oil.
Thanks. I see your point about the oil. According to the paperwork that came with the truck, it appears he just went with the "basic" oil change. A couple of random invoices do say "Castroll motor oil ... $13.75."

Outstanding.
I always drill a hole in the filter and let it drain out
super reliable tacomas
The oil comes back out of the filter like that because the anti drain back valve holds oil in their to insure fast/instant oil pressure on start up.

Do you still have this truck? How much oil does yours take to get to full mark on dipstick?
Sadly I don't. It was totalled in an accident. But if I remember correctly, I think it was about 5.5 quarts. I think the capacity is listed as 6.
Put fresh oil in the new oil filter. That helps lube the motor on first start up.
I'll have to try that. Thanks, for the advice, Scott.
There's a reasonable argument among experienced mechanics who've learned the hard way that you should absolutely not do that because you can inadvertently introduce foreign debris particles into the unfiltered side.

Did I miss you checking the oil level after initial startup, after the filter got filled?
Sorry to say, you didn't Kirk. To be honest, looking back at this video I did a pretty shotty job.
