    New 2024 Toyota Tacoma T24a-fts

    I thought that I would share my first UOA on this engine (T24A-FTS) for those here that might be interested. Oil tested was PUP 5W-30; 4,326 miles on the oil (mainly short trip/spirited driving); 15,311 total miles on the engine. I was specifically curious to know if this engine was a fuel...

    New 2024 Toyota Tacoma T24a-fts

    Nice to see some new life to this thread. I think that Toyota/Lexus models will likely be using this engine for at least a few more years across their product line, so it would be beneficial to identify some good oil alternatives to what the US owner's manual recommends. @SimpleSyrup: spot on...

    Dodge Hellcat Oil - Valvoline, Castrol or Mobil 1 ??

    Sorry Pablo, and with all due respect, but in my experience using this oil in my 6.4 Hemi it sheered a A LOT in only 3,500 miles. It went from 14.8 cst @ 100*C (VOI) to 11.76 (my own UOA). I do work the engine hard (severe duty, IMO) but I expected this oil to perform much better than it did...

    I posted this in the VOA Database thread and it was suggested that I post this VOA in a stand alone thread as well. So here it is.

    New 2024 Toyota Tacoma T24a-fts

    I have a 23 Lexus RX350 with the same engine, bought new. I changed the original oil at 1,000 miles using M1 0W-20 and changed it again at 5,000 miles with PUP 5W-30. I am not concerned about a warrantee issue using a heavier weight oil for a few reasons, the main one being is that heavier...

    2024 Lexus RX350 UOA - 1,473mi / PUP 0W-20

    Yeah they now have the T24A-FTS engine in the RX's. As this engine is still relatively new and long term reliability is yet to be determined, I look forward to the OP's future UOA's.

    2024 Lexus RX350 UOA - 1,473mi / PUP 0W-20

    I know that the OP has not responded to your question so I thought that I would chime in. I have a 2023 RX350 which has the same body style, drivetrain etc. I am REALLY impressed with this vehicle. Very smooth, quiet, and despite it's not so big 4 cylinder engine, it has plenty of power when...

    2 Valvoline Restore & Protect tests

    Good grief people! The OP started a thread to document his/her test and experiment with VR&P. I really don't think he/she was asking the community "which oil cleans the best". Perhaps the "which oil cleans the best" question should be its own stand alone thread. And perhaps this thread already...

    Thank you very much for taking the time to share this information. I have been lurking around here for quite some time but finally joined so that I could post on your thread. I have a 23 RX350 with the same engine. In case you haven't seen this, here is some good information on the engine: T4...
