I had an Optima red top in my 89 4runner and that thing lasted for 12 fucking years. Needless to say I bought another one.
Reviews of spare parts for Toyota
I ran KO2s on my '18 4Runner off-rad that the ex-wife took and liked them so much I now have them on my '23 GX. I can't speak to the Falkens but I love the KO2s, off road and on (at least for the light/medium off roading I do).
I currently have both. K02s on my taco and wildpeaks on my 4runner. I like the wildpeaks much more. The wildpeaks perform better in the snow and are quieter on pavement. They are also significantly cheaper. I've had endless balancing issues with the k02s. They ride a little harsher/stiffer as well. Off road the difference between the two is minimal.
I’ve had both. Wildpeaks on my 5th 4Runner and K02 on my Landcruiser. I prefer the look of K02 by a long shot if that matters to you. They both ride identical to me on the highway and snow honestly. They are both ATs so gonna cake up and suck in the mud.
UPDATE: owners manual calls for replacement around 120k so I'm not that far behind i guess. Still went out and bought 4 new plugs and installed them. $80 at the dealer
Noticed before the LTFT was -6% and now its back to 0%.
I change my oil at dealer every 10k miles. This time I am going to pay $299 for a package of 5 oil changes, with tire rotations, filter and all liquids fililled up if necessary.
I did change mine also on 1600km. I noticed that while the engine oil that drained was clear visibly, the oil that came out with the filter was a lot darker. Is this normal for 1600 km or the first oil change is really needed?
I usually pay 28 EUR for Oil ( 4L synthetic 5w30) plus 7 EUR for the filter and change it myself at a Hobbywerkstatt for 7 EUR. Total cost = 42 EUR.
I had my WRX for a year and a half, and the entirety of it spent on the stock Dunlop tires.
Above 50°F, go ham. Have fun. They're great.
Below 50°F, don't take high speed corners. If you normally go 40 around a corner, go 35 instead.
That being said, I never lost traction with them, even in 40°F rain. The only time they ever broke loose was when there was snow on the ground, which is expected.
I would run Castrol over Pennzoil. Coming from personal experience, Pennzoil is junk.
