New 3.4L break in oil consumption
About 2500 miles. What oil did they fill the '04Tacos with, and how low should it be?
Thanks,
Peter

@ 2500 miles htere should be no oil loss... its possible they never had it filled up to begin with.... hopefully it didnt cuase damage, check the owners manual for what type of oil to put into it.....

Oil check @ 57 mile ODO reading read full...
Seems to level out on the dipstick as about 1/3 qt. low. Nobody knows what oil they're filling the '04 tacocs with? If it's dino, I hope it's Castrol...

If yours is anything like my 02 you should have 5.5 qts. of 5W-30.
Don't know what kind of dino oil they put in there but I know they have their own designated OEM brand though
