Lube your oil filter!

What was Toyota thinking with putting an 18 gallon tank in the 4th gen Tacoma?? My wife's EV has more range than the Tacoma does on a full tank as I can't get more than 280 miles on a tank. I do mostly city driving with some highway but still even the 4Runner I had before would go nearly 340 miles on a tank. I wish I had known this about the Tacoma before I leased it. I may be reconsidering the option to purchase this once the lease is up and may go to a used 3rd gen Tacoma or a Colorado new or used.

If you ever wondered if you should actually put oil on the oil filter gasket before you thread it on the answer is here! Toyota now puts grease on the o ring from factory! Assuming Toyota did what Toyota does and put a lot of research into this it's safe to assume they thought this was good practice since they now go through the extra effort to include the o ring pre greased. Pretty cool they do this I'm not sure if any other manufacture goes through that extra step and care.
