    2020 Toyota Tundra 1794 Edition CrewMax Review

    Opinion=Reliability this is a owner provided opinion. Popularity there is small cult of truck buyers who consider the Tundra. The Colorado outsells it. But Toyota just produces just enough to meet demand thus the resale value. Even with the substantially smaller and tightly controlled inventory...

    Do you comprehend the replacement for DEXRON II is DEXRON VI? https://www.acdelco.com/parts/oils-fluids/gm-oe-dexron-vi-transmission-fluid The UOA's show your viscosity argument has no merit because the actual operating viscosity of DEXRON III and earlier DEXRON fluids are thinner then current...

    2020 Toyota Tundra 1794 Edition CrewMax Review

    Best V8? With the worst MPG and the Tundra is slow. It's so slow it's slower than the GM 5.3 trucks. The interior is a cheap rip off of the previous F150. Don't worry Toyota will make it right soon with a 450HP turbo V6.

    From golden to dark immediately!?

    This is not dirty oil. This is the same color which comes out at the bulk tanks at work.

    lspi with vavoline conventional?

    Is this even possible??

    Once again the percentage of ester in Redline is not a majority. The numbers show it's primarily a PAO or even a group III. Dave from Redline can not be taken at his word. "Rather than cutting costs by blending into polyalphaolefin base stock for its motor oil, Red Line Oil only uses...
