5w-30

Figured why not.

I switched after my first oil change. The best oil is fresh oil.

 

You can use 5w-30 no problem. Take a look at this chart from a Mexico Tacoma, all the weights listed are expectable including 15w 40 provided you stay in the temperature range.

 

Guys, Friday is tomorrow.

 

Theres a reason Toyota recommends a specific weight oil. A heavier (thicker) weight oil can actually contribute to premature wear.

But it's your truck, do what you will.

 

But the eve bro!
Warm ups really bring out the best of TW.

Hey, I posted legitimate and useful information. I resent this implication.

 

Unless your in Mexico I guess.....

 

Your reply was good for a Thursday, all good.

 

Care to explain?

 

It’s a proven fact that 5w is of the dark side and will destroy your truck’s engine within minutes.

 

Its definitely true, to a point. Like don't dump 75-140 in your engine and expect good things to happen. But given the chart in the Mexico version of the owners manual, I'm sure the listed ones will have no ill effects.

 

Happened to my sisters boyfriend. The oil slick caused him to lose control and drive off a cliff.

They can't wait that long.
