I have changed oil every 3k. Any input from mechanics out there??
I have a good amount of experience with Tacoma's, I run a parts store which exclusivly used Tacoma's (and previously the older toy pu) for over 20 years as delivery vehicles. Many of our trucks have high milage (300k is not uncommon) and they have all been driven hard. Longevity is not an issue with the drivetrain. The 22R and 22RE (2.4 4cyl) are some of the longest lasting motors every made.

The 150% was nice while it lasted though..
