Thanks for sharing! I had my 2024 tundra platinum oil changed at 5000 miles instead of waiting until the recommended 10,000. I have had no issues so far, knock on wood! They did include a 10 year 100,000 mile extended warranty and a free maintenance plan to 60,000. So I should be fine.

Excellent video! Thanks for posting.

You look good to go and I wouldn't worry about it from this point on. This is what ALL owners of new Toyota's with the new V6 TT should be doing.

Excellent example of how to check for a bearing issue. Great video! Thanks! PS: It's the front main bearing that is failing, not the rear. Cheers!

I cut my filter on my 2023 TRD pro just a couple of days ago. Just like your filter only found small amounts of aluminum. This is completely normal for break in of engine. I found a lot more break in material in the filters of my airplane after 10 hours of flight. Tons of particles. I was freaking out! lol two 40k engines. On my next oil change almost nothing. I see Toyota replacing all the engines because no one has x-ray vision to see in the engine. Toyota wants this problem to go away and bring confidence back to the tundra platform. If we don’t get new engines they never will. The owners will have no confidence in the truck and that you’re driving a ticking time bomb. Great video!

I feel better after watching this! Bought my 2024 Tundra a month ago and it’s running smooth, I have 4k miles on it so far.

You're not going to see anything until it fails. The "metal debris" is a scapegoat toyota is using to cover up for the real issue, which is the bottom end design. They used cast iron main caps on an aluminum engine block, the two metals expand and contract at different rates. The bearing goes out of round and then it spins and the engine loses oil pressure, resulting in failure.

You should send a sample out for oil analysis. They can pick up bearing metal that won't be visible. I use Blackstone labs on all my vehicles oil changes and track it over time.

I think this goes to show that all the online opinions about the demise of the Tundra need to be looked at in perspective. The facts are that we still do not know how many Tundra’s are going to be affected by the engine issues. It may be far less than the click baiters and Toyota haters have alluded to. Toyota will find a solution and make their customers confident about their vehicle’s once more of that you can be sure. I would recommend examining the filter indoors and under a high intensity lights for a more complete picture of any possible metal flakes. You had a great idea with the video content and I hope that other Tundra owners do the same. They might be surprised that the number of affected engines are much lower than initially reported.

Okay, unless it’s a big piece of metal you won’t see the type of material that’s so small it gets between the bearing and crank! You need to do an oil analysis to determine the condition of the oil!

Cutting the paper filter media and laying it out flat would have been more definitive than just peeking between the pleats. I’m not sure I would call this a good / unaffected truck just yet but time will tell.

I’m at almost 11k on my ‘23 1794 hybrid, not a single hiccup to mention. I had a ‘22 1794 that was so kindly hit head on, that had just hit 13k, again, with no issues. Both incredible to drive and own. It’s nice to see some reassuring remarks here but I’ve also had no doubt that Toyota would take care of its customers, plus the fact that the number of actual failed engines is tiny. Just don’t go over to Reddit or Facebook unless you want people who don’t even own the trucks to scream in your ear that you have a piece of junk. 🙄

Looks excellent, nothing to be concerned about there. I'll be doing the same on mine and my sons at 500-1,000 miles also. Just for peace of mind but I hear they actually have changed things on the 24's and only very early ones might be affected if at all.

In all fairness, you're not even through the break in period yet. Some recommend changing the oil right after that too

Best truck in the world guy

Don't worry, the 2024s had a part sucession vs the 2023s so they don't have the same mid block with the machining debris, I hope that offers some reassurance.

*Great scientific video... your Tundra will be FINE* ❤

the car care nut just bought a tundra, thats a plus

Who was not doing their job on machining debris on those engines?

Pictures of failed engines show main bearing damage on all bearings not just one. Hybrid trucks are not recalled as they still have motive power after the engine fails so they can be driven to a safe spot.

If they are telling the truth that it is actually metal shavings and not a design flaw.

Why do manufacturers put out such tiny oil filters? My 400cc motorcycle uses a filter this size, as well as two screens.

I have a '24 Tundra with 7600 miles on it. And I've owned 5 Toyota pickups over the last 40 years (with zero problems). Naturally, I'm a bit concerned about this issue. But, based on my experience so far, the 2024 is the best pickup I've ever owned.

The Car Care Nut, who is a certified master Toyota tech, has a really good video on it. It actually puts my mind at ease with my Tundra.

It could be a design issue hard for me to believe it’s just shavings

I would change the oil at 1000 miles or for first oil change .

Good video. I have an early 24 and hoping. Good indicator but not sure if a clean filter means anything in this problem

I said this is wut Toyota was gonna do for the rescll... other makes have done this... then do an Lil change check for metal.and beat run

You are not supposed to tow before 500 miles is reached , read the break in period in manual

Watch car care nut In April2024 TOYOTA a changed the part number of the block ( different block) and they discontinued the number 1 and 4 bearing New bearing yet to be determined SAD TO SAY bad bottom end

I have a 2023 did the same thing 3 times zero metal 😅

“It’s a really small oil filter” 🥴

Great video! The reason I bought my 2017 Tundra new was so I could drive decades without any worries and this far I can sleep like a baby. It was not the same with my 2 Chevy vans and my new Avalanche I bought years ago.

Toyota will take care of business.

Good job. From what I understand they corrected the issue in 2023 so your 2024 may be ok. I sure hope so that’s a really nice truck.

I know he's doing all he can, and I appreciate that, but the issue would be what the metal does while it's inside the engine. If it made it into the filter, that's good news, but the damage would happen before the filter had a chance to do it's job.

I think they changed the manufacturing process in march of 23

Watch CarCareNut review few days ago. He did some in depth analysis. They quietly modified short block and long block parts (old part# has been discontinued. They also changed few main bearings in April 2024. Who knows what else they changed!? Basically. I am hoping for a complete engine replacement. New engine in, old engine out. Also, replace turbines, Vince their bearings could have been damaged too. Finally, give us all 200,000 km/miles extended warranty.

Well, that’s because the oil the Toyota oil filters aren’t that great of a filter to catch particles now they are a good filter for flow. They allow a lot of flow to go through them. A lot of boil, but they’re not that great at catching the little particles so the best way to do it is just drain the oil and the oil pan clean the oil pan before you start and then drain the oil and then the oil pan, I think 24 are also gonna be recalled and the hybrids aren’t being recalled only because they have an alternative alternative motor to get them out of harms away. This is a safety recall, and the hybrid can still move under battery operated power and that’s why it’s not on the recall, but it’s definitely the same motor. It’s gonna have the same issues.

Go try to trade it and you will see.

I will keep my 5.7 v8. I am no fans of turbos. BMW and FORD have prooved that beyond a doubt. NA engines are way more reliable

I have a 2022 Toyota Tundra SR5 TRD Off Road with more than 26K miles ... no issues! My truck is my DAILY driver ....

You cannot trust what Toyota says. There might a different reason for the current Tundra problem

I'm glad I didn't trade in my '16 tundra.

I would have drained the oil and add fresh, if it were me.

All praise to the 4.7 look like Toyota fix something that was not broken

I can't believe how paranoic people are now in days about issues on their cars. If you can afford a $70K brand new truck why you worry so much about recalls or issues on new cars? that is why you have warranty and/or money to buy another truck if you want. Don't be so cheap and enjoy more life. Focus all the time you are spending on thinking the issues your new truck has on how to generate more money and add more business to your life so you don't have to be worry about all these things. Waste of time spending your time on this 😎✌🏻

Trade that crap in

Why do people continue buying these vehicles? You just can’t make this stuff up? Not logical.

Stay away 3.4 duel turbo won’t last

Exactly, Toyota can't show the problems they're saying. Engineering failure

Potential $70k paperweight 🤦

There isn't a recall on the hybrid *yet* because the hybrid system lets the truck limp to the side of the road when the engine fails. 2024 is not recalled yet to avoid a stop sale. Depending on when yours was made, it might need a new engine. The crankshaft end bearings are bad on all of the engines up until early 2024.
