The 3,000 Mile Oil Change 'Myth'

[mushroom_toy]

i think i'm going to switch to rotella in my truck because my timing chain is 'ticking'...i'm going to try the lucas oil stabilizer again first, then if that dont work, rotella, then if that dont work...go back to castrol, then wait for the motor to blow then....1jz engine time lol

You know its probably just the timing chain guides. Toyota for whatever reason used plastic guides for our trucks back in the day, and these usually break, then the timing chain starts slapping against the walls, so If I were you I would just get some metal ones and be done with it. Mine has metal ones, they were replaces years ago lol.

He speaks the truth, things get ugly when the guides break. Seen many a 22R with a busted timing cover.
