Engine oil Mobil or OEM Toyota
Any A3/B4 euro oil. M1 0W40 is really good and well priced.
I'm from a Toyota family. My parents used to buy Toyotas just out of warranty and never did any maintenance on them. When an oil change interval was due my dad checked the oil levels and maybe topped it up a little if necessary - like once a year that is. There was never an engine problem.
If it\u2019s a Toyota it will run just fine even with chewing gum instead of oil, a Subaru will explode one mile past the due service mark.
See how much metal that 08 weight pisswater has generated after only 1.3k miles? Switch to 0w30/5w30 and you'll see a drastic reduction in wear. I know I did.
These engines need 40w either 5w40 or 0w40.. I ran 0w40 Mobil 1 syn euro formula for the 60k miles I had my GTI, it's cheap and readily available in 5qt at Walmart, thinner on cold start up it when hot is still 40w, it's also the factory recommended by Porsche
Forgive me but I’m confused. The Tundra doesn’t have two separate oil reservoirs that I’m aware of and I change my own oil. Also, for what it’s worth mines been flawless since 2022 and almost 40,000 miles (not that that is a lot but just saying).
Mobil 1 ESP 5W30 and Delvac 5W40 are right next to each other at Walmart and usually within a dollar of each other in price. Our 2 cars use Mobil 1 ESP and my diesel Jeep uses Delvac 5W40. Both are good oils, so I think it will just be your personal preference. Blackstone tests will tell you the story on your oil and intervals better than Reddit.
Mobil 1 Turbo Diesel Truck 5W-40 in an ALH since new. 10K OCI, engine with 280K running like new.
I use mobile 1, 0-20w in my 5.3 GMC. 3k miles every change w filter. In the colder months it looks brand new coming out. Little bit darker maybe. My most recent change with the past month being 85+ I noticed it finally being very dark and red.
My free oil change just ended And I switch to mobile 1 for this oil change. The result is i got worse gas mileage with the moblie one oil. Like 5 MPG worse.
