Sweet, here’s what I’ve read

https://www.motor.com/2019/05/get-ready-gf-6-motor-oil/

Here’s a brief description of each of the new eight engine parameters for modern engines:

• Sequence IIIH – Requires 33 percent improvement over GF-5 for oxidation and deposits.
• Sequence IVB – Provides improved valve train wear.
• Sequence V – Ensures substantially reduced sludge and varnish.
• Sequence V – Ensures substantially reduced sludge and varnish.
• Sequence VIE – Requires 19-39 percent improvement in fuel economy, depending on oil viscosity.
• Sequence VIF – A new minimum fuel economy test for 0W-16 motor oil only.
• Sequence VIII – Improves GF-6A corrosion.
• Sequence IX – Verifies minimum level of LSPI protection.
• Sequence X – Assures less timing chain wear.

 

Who sets the requirements for these new oil standards. How realistic are their demands?

 

The API certifies it, not sure beyond that.

 

Scotty is a whack job.

That is all.

 

End of day, the DIY'ers will continue to pick up whatever major brand 0W20 or 0W30 that happens to be on sale at Wally World or CostCo, while the other 80% of Tacoma owners will continue to go to the dealership, where they get bulk oil pumped in through a hose in the ceiling, labeled as "OIL #3" in the invoice. 10 years later, the truck gets crushed due to frame rust...

 

Scotty is off his meds again.
