Carbon buildup in exhaust tailpipe

[johnregrus]

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!

That's perfectly normal for any exhaust on any car. Your use of oil won't change that

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.
