I am just interested... whos running GC in a toyota engine? What are your results? I have the 4.0 V-6 and I am hoping it will quiet down my noisey lifters.

I'd guess you're hearing injector noise and not the lifters. The 3.4L in my 4Runner has that problem although I can only hear them when I'm standing by the front of the vehicle with the engine running.
I used GC in with good results but It's so hard to find around here I went back to M1.
Run what makes you feel good. If green elixer makes you feel you are making it run better or last longer run it. It is hard to tell what your noise is from my monitor. you have the variable timing and such it could be fromthe hydraulic mechanism operating the timing, or it could be the injectors.. a common noise in the previous generation 3.4 v-6 like Jsharp and myself have.
My opinion is that engine oil brand is of little significance for that motor. The Green color is kind of cool but that also comes with Schaeffers.
