Oh that's right the v6 didn't go back to a cannister filter like the 4 cyl starting in 2018. Those cartridge filters suck. If the engine begins to burn a bit of oil you can go a grade thicker as well. I already did since 0w-20 started disappearing at 14k for me.
@@ez.repairs i used mostly leftover quaker state euro 5w-40 and a bit of 0w-20 to complete it. Was originally going to use just 0w-20 again but I pulled the stick before draining and saw that it was dry. I panicked and drained the oil and measured and it burned a bit over a quart during the 7k miles. But i didn't have a 30 grade so i just mixed two viscosity which is no problem. But you can use full synthetic 5 or 10w-30. 10w-30 if it doesn't go to 0f where you are. Less viscosity improvers is always better. So I'll use 10w-30 next time around. But outside of the US where emissions regulations aren't strict these toyota engines will state to use anything from 0w-20 to 20w-50 in the owners manual. But in the US they can't if they want to get rewarded with EPA credits so they only list 1 thin grade to say they're swaying their customers towards using thinner oils which is what they used to test EPA emissions with. It's done at a corporate fuel economy average so that's why you see a lot of thin oils being recommended even when the engineers are complaining about it. Thin oils accelerate damage and cause oil burning. it's actually the reason why Ford switched their 5.0 back to 5w-30. Thin oils causes wear faster to where it wasn't worth the EPA corporate credit for them. Too many issues during ownership.

What weight are you using now? My friend just got this car and would love to avoid having future problems.

What do you have your front tires on
Ramps I got from Harbor Freight. They’re 60 bucks.
Did the front bumper scrap at all
