Hello all it's been a wile. Want to see if you guys have an opinion about this.
I'm looking at buying an 05 Toyota Sequoia sr5 awd 4.7 with 188k original owner, he says always ran mobil one with an M1 filter.
then he hands me a Carfax with about 20 O.C.,s @ V.I.O.C. and a couple of random places. So I called them and ran the vin, nothing but conventional oil @ between 5-6000 O.C.I.'s with the occasional 7000+. All that said it is a cream puff, sounds like a Toyota V8 should, runs good but it seems a little lacking in the power department.(1'st 4.7 I.ve driven) this is a heavy suv, about 2.5t. I'm used to my 99 suburban 5.7 that this would replace.
Sorry for going so long but would you buy this suv only one oil change @ the dealer, VIOC started @ 74 k no records prior except @ 140 miles dealer service with oil change at 30 k for a recall on the ball joints. Also he says he did a timing belt service himself @ 150k, no receipts.
Thoughts? Many thanks in advance!
