can i assume the 2AZ-FE engines are the 2.4L 4 bangers?
does anyone know the engine code for the 06 HiHY? i know it's stamped on the engine but it's not readily visible. thanks for all the replies.

It's a 6.
I still question the need for synthetic in this engine. It's considered low compression and normal oil has been fine for the last 8 years or so since it came out. Plus a rebuild will most probably have to happen way beyond 150k miles, long after most people no longer own the truck.
I'm certainly comfortable saving $30 per oil change going with regular oil.
Any qualified opinions on this?
