first oil change on 07 taco

what do you guys think about mobil 1. 0w30 i used it in my first oil change and the bucket said it meet or excedes all manufacturers warranty on 5w30 oil it said it was for fuel millage i thought i could her some valve tick but i think its just normal noise for a toyota motor may go back to 5w30 on my 10.000 mile oil change help me out.thanks

 

are you talking about motor oil, or gear oil?? if its the motor oil.......you can probably go 10k before a cahnge, but i would recommend going by toyota's recommendation, which us every 5k.......but thats up to you. for the diffs, toyota recommends every 30k......same scenario....up to you also. i change my oil every 5k(mobil1), and my diffs and transfer case every 30k(mobil1 75w90).

 

honestly.......i think its just another way for mobil1 to make money. i'd just stick to their 5w30, as i dont think you would see a real difference in mileage between the 0w30 and the 5w30.

 

yeah, i dont blame ya for doing that, and yeah......keep it easy man. i have heard people saying that the royal purple max gear(or whatever they call it) works really well in the limited slip diffs, so if you decide to go synthetic again, maybe try rp and see if you have good results. like you have said before though.....toyota knows what goes in there.

 

nah.............if i know anything, i know you know what to use!! you know that!!! i was just getting at the fact that im not sure why the mobil1 doesnt seem to work in the toyota lsd's. maybe the additive is of a different content or something.
