Toyota is currently recalling 100,000 vehicles for engine failure due to metal shavings internal to the motors.

Maybe that’s why?

Glad I bought one of the last Tundras with a big V-8. That engine was made for ages and is great.

I don’t doubt that there’s a problem but you’d think the shavings would either settle to the bottom of the oil pan or be caught in the oil filter.

Maybe the problem is that some rubbing surfaces are producing shavings continuously.
