'93 4 Runner/3.0 V-6 Question
And, hopefully an easy one to answer !
I called on a '93 4 Runner, 5 speed, w/ 136K on the clock.
The guy told me that it needed an oil change because the check engine light was on, and it did that every 4 - 5 K telling him it was time to change the oil.
I did search ( I promise ! ) but did not see anything that would let me know whether this is true or false.
Any help is appreciated - I don't know much about 4 Runners, but am learning, and at the same time learning a bunch on my '94 Land Cruiser.
Thanks !

This is the first I have heard of that "feature"! I have a '91 3.0 and know that it is not the case for it.
It is easy enough to pull the CEL codes. Search that up. I am willing to bet that the ECU is kicking out something else other than change oil.

The trick is that this is something that I potentially am looking to buy, and starting off w/ an unknown CEL is "intersesting" to say the least.
