    My laugh was about the .2 quarts. The Tacoma has a set of standard injectors and a set of GDI injectors. The wifes SUV is a GDI engine. Pretty remarkable what they have done with fuel delivery. I can remember early on with the concerns of soot or carbon build up at the intake valve.
    Nothing better than the sound of a large cam engine. Had one or two of those in years past.

    Yes, another area of concern for soot buildup problems in direct injection is the timing chains, those that have them. GM engineers felt so confident with engine balance, harmonics, and lubrication advancement with the newer synthetics, they felt they had developed "Million Mile Motors". Then surprise, surprise: test mules started having timing chain failures related to soot collections and abrasions thereof creating slack, sag, and pops in the chain creating a myriad of issues, some even "Catastrophic". This lead to the development of Dexos Designated Oil, beginning with GM Oil (By Mobil), and trickling down to other brands. The Dexos Oil cleans the soot so much better, they say, and I personally have found it makes an excellent Gun cleaning oil! Try it! Powder in the barrel does not stand a chance! (Same price as other Mobil 1 Synthetics).
