Toyota Tundra Forum

As I've posted at two other sites:

Good for you, I live by these things and because of Black Stone labs I now run my 5.6L 13,000 miles between oil changes with Mobil 1 15,000 mile extended. (110,000 miles so far)

I went ahead and started a forum for these since I feel they are very important for deciding what oils the engines like.
I see you're running Mobil 1, which one?

Good Gawd Squid that is one ugly Tundra.

Just regular. None of the "specialty" stuff (like the extended, SUV and truck, high-mileage, etc).

Never heard of Oil Analysis before....

Can someone smart tell me how much this costs, and how do you do it?

What kind of oil do most of you guys run in your 5.7L Tundras?

I had planned on using whatever the dealer suggested. For my 4Runner its Quaker State Syn blend 5W-30 about every 5K miles.

I run Amsoil 5-20 7.5k mile interval synthetic (cost more than dino oil, but less than the 25k mile interval stuff). I change it at 6 month intervals which is between 5-6k miles for me.

I use Oil Analyzers: Oil Analyzers, Inc. - Oil Analysis, Oil Testing Services
I think prepaid kits are about $22.

Here is some info on Blackstone (which is the company mentioned above):
"Blackstone's standard analysis will tell you what you need to know about the condition of your engine and how it's wearing. The standard analysis costs $22.50 and includes the following:

Wow just checked their site...$2250 they tell you tons of stuff.

My 4runner has ~165K on it and interested to see what they come up with

Have you done this?

I've seen some AMSOIL set ups for the 4 runner that relocate the filter and have an oil cooler on them...do you have any mods like that?

I have just sent off some oil last week. Waiting on the results.

What was the outcome?

Sorry I forgot to update this. I will scan the results tomorrow. This is the important part of the results:
