Paid a mobile cleaning service $350 to come out and shampoo every inch of carpet and take almost the whole interior out and clean the underlying metal frame with isopropyl, trying to get rid of the dog smell that comes out when it sits in the sun. WORTH EVERY PENNY

Checked oil and coolant after 1,000 miles of driving and the levels were rock solid. Doesn't appear to be eating any oil or coolant.

Finally got the oil filter off. It couldn't be budged before. I heated it and tried three different wrenches and finally got it off. Around 292900 miles. Toyota OEM filter and new gasket.

Still driving great. Purchased a plastic cup holder/cubby unit off ebay for $17.99. Makes the useless area under the shifter much more useful.

Timing chain was still off by a tooth. Figured out how I was not looking at it correctly earlier. Fixed now and all buttoned up.

Got it buttoned up and running on 11/18, but timing chain was off by one tooth. Was able to adjust the chain without removing the timing cover and drove it around for 15 minutes on 11/22. Total cost of all parts & labor so far is $1525.55, including transferring title, new floor mats, plugs, all gaskets, and paying the machine shop to clean out the EGR cooler.
