They rotted out long before dying of anything mechanical up here. Road salt is an evil thing.

No love from BITOGERS likely is still better maintenance than from most everybody else.

We have "Fleet Weeks" in New York, as other port cities do, and I've NEVER seen a sailor drink oil.
TRUE INSTANCE: I saw a USN sailor sitting in a chair in his skivvies on 9th Avenue at a laundromat. It was during Fleet Week.
When I asked him what he was doing he said, "All I want to do is wash my own clothes separately".
True story, I swear. Kira

It does not use a noticeable amount of oil. It usually gets 8-10k oci and I never have to add any.
It passed the enhanced California emissions test today.

How was it driven, short hops with lots of restarting, highway use at full operating temps, etc? Impressive no matter what.
This is the difference between Toyota guys and Every-other-brand guys: the Toyota ones cant wait to take pics of their ODO and post it on the internet.

That generation of Tacoma was pretty much an Americanized Hilux - Toyota did switch the engine away from the 22RE to the 2RZ-FE.
