Engine longevity

[RUN-8]

Regarding maintenance records, are you guys who are doing your own oil changes adding the record in the toyota app/website?
I always wonder whether that is considered as good as a dealer doing the work. No one touches my vehicles unless I absolutely can't do it myself. I'm not even planning to use the free oil changes at the dealer, though a small part of that is they're also an hour away.

Didn’t know there was an app for that to be honest.

I will have all the 5K and 10K intervals done by the dealership for record keeping purposes through the warranty period. If we purchase an extended warranty I will keep using the dealer for these service/inspection intervals.

My dealer is also about an hour away, so the extra curricular service activities I will engage in like oil changes every 5K, and differential fluid changes will be performed with no need for documentation.

Not if the bypass is open

That isn’t the correct version of the T24A-FTS used in Toyota truck applications. We don’t have an air to liquid intercooler, ours are air to air.

That isn’t to say that the turbo isn’t on a dedicated cooling loop, but I don’t see a separate reservoir for one under hood like in say a Tundra.

Sorry........... even if the waste gate/bypass is open, if the engine is running, the turbo is spinning. It just won't be producing boost with the waste gate open.

Correct it’s always spinning even at idle. Turbine wheels are pretty sensitive to gas flow over the blades, and obviously something capable of spinning at 80,000 to 100,000 RPM has pretty low resistance to rotation.

Not to worry though everyone, if the engine is running oil and coolant are flowing through the appropriate passages and doing their thing in the turbo whether it’s under boost or not.

Appreciate the correction and discussion.

Last I checked the turbo runs on it's own electric coolant pump, aka cooling post-shutdown.

I thought I read, or heard that, somewhere… I guess I can put those worry beads back on the shelf.

I would like to see a detailed schematic breakdown of the truck application T24A-FTS. I am guessing it’s getting coolant pumped to it as well.

I have been buying the Mobile 1 0W-20 from Costco, and the first two oil filters from the dealer, and the next two (still on the shelf) from Bezoar. I only have the print out of the oil analysis from each oil change.. I guess I really need to learn how to make a spread sheet or something like it to document things.

“Considered as good as a dealer doing the work”?

Just depends on the buyer. Some won’t put much faith in DIY regardless of the form & extent of your documentation.

Regardless, I do know that you can input such records into Carfax if you create an account. It will NOT be added to your vehicle’s report when generated by someone else. But you can see it (amongst the records submitted by service departments / shops) for your self.
