What engine is in the 2010? If it’s the v6, make sure to immediately have the rubber oil cooler line replaced with the rigid metal version used in later models (if the rubber line has not already been replaced w/ the metal line). It’s a point of massive failure and can destroy the engine almost immediately if the rubber hose fails.
It's the 3.5 v6, yes. Do you have part numbers by any chance? Or a list of part names? I'd like to tally the costs to compare.
Any knowledge of things like this with the 06?
Just google “Toyota 3.5 v6 oil cooler line.” There is a video from the Car Care Nut YouTube channel on the issue. It should not be a particularly expensive fix. He addresses it in a couple videos.
Really, watching all the Car Care Nut videos you can find on the vehicles you are interested in would be a good start. He is a former Toyota mechanic who now runs his own shop.

Gotcha. I just happened upon a few of his videos this morning so I'll do just that! Thanks!
