    I'm going with the Lucas 85w140




    I don't even know what those numbers mean, but they work in Matts Tacoma, so it'll work in mine.

    Anyone want to trade currency? I have a $15 Autozone rebate card, and I'll take $15 PayPal.

    Lucas is carried by Advance Auto Parts, Autozone, and O'Reilly's... All 3 stores are 5 minutes from my house.

    Good call, next time i do maintenance ill go ahead and get a case. Ive been using lucas oil stabilizer in my trans and its been working wonders. Makes the fluid much thicker.. i added it to 85w140 so no telling what the viscosity is now, the truck likes it though! Gonna save me needing to replace the trans prematurely
