Cap City Build & BS AF

Moenin!!!

it got nuked pretty quick

 

Ok...back to some truck talk. I figured I'd ask this great crew.

I've been running regular Mobil One 5W30 since about 1000 miles and have changed oil & filter every 5K miles since. I'm just about ready to do my 80K mile oil change. I've got 5.5 Qts of the M1 5W30 and 5.5 Qts of Pennzoil Platinum 5W30 that I picked up super cheap at BJ's Wholesale Club. I'll use up both which will bring me up to 85K miles.

After that, are there any real benefits/advantages of switching over to M1 High Mileage?

 

I've never used high mileage oil in any vehicle. My last taco used Valvoline full synthetic all the way to trade in at 209,xxx miles and was fine.

 

The biggest difference is the HM oils contain seal and gasket conditioners to help keep them pliable. At 75k, I'll probably switch to M1 HM myself.

 

This is my understanding of the difference to. But I don't see any need to change from standard unless I see some leakage/weapage.

 

I feel like high mileage on a Tacoma might begin close to 300k...

True. But I guess the idea is to prevent a leak before it happens

 

Thanks guys....the HM is the same price at Wally World...so I may just give it a whirl. Can't hurt I guess.

Or - if I score that PP again...I'll go with that.

 

Understand, end of the day, if it's the same price, use it if it makes you feel better, if not, your call on if its worth it. My opinion, it's not.

 

My truck has some HIGH miles on it now

​

Thanks to you fine people of TacomaWorld!!!

 

Funny you use that.....they just approved recreation use of that here in Maine!

 

Fuck yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Not a whole lot, changed out my TRD skid plate for a Bulletproof fabricating skid plate & switched my rear 1.5" blocks for 2" blocks.

 

I've not touched the stuff since my 20's.....well there was that one hunting trip to Canada.
