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.....

 

I'll be using Mobil1 w OEM oil filters for the duration @ 5k. The fact is, the truck only has 2500 miles, and I have'nt actually checked the oil yet. We all know about the diferent break in theories. I'm gonna guess it's at least 1/2 qt low when I go down and check it. The motor has been resting over 2 hours. Will report back shortly..

 

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...

 

its dino, all the mfgs put in dino, the ones that use syn dont put syn in until later.... stay away from penzoill, its more like sludgeoil....... 1/3 low isnt bad, it probably wasnt burned, jsut never checked....

 

Congrats on your beautiful daughter, I have an outstanding 10 year old of my own, and share your pride.

 

thanks... i love her sooo much, she is pretty cool, i think i will keep her

 

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

 

not true...Corvette is factory filled with Mobil1 Synthetic, along with most high end european cars.
