My 2024 SR5 with 12 thousand miles is showing a black carbon buildup inside the tailpipe. I can stick my finger into the tailpipe and my finger comes out black.
I use full synthetic Amsoil and have changed it three times.
To me the tailpipe should look grey not soot black like you would see from a diesel engine.
Could you check your 2024 Taco and tell me if how your exhaust pipe looks. Thanks!

It's normal. You're not burning oil. You're burning gas, a hydrocarbon. That's what happens.

Yup my TRD Sport does the same thing, so did my 2021 Sport. In fact after 4 years the 2021 tailpipe add on, whatever it’s called, had a build-up I could not get off. I am trying to stay more on top of this one before it cakes on.
