    I seen that autozone is going to be selling lucas oil. Would it be fine to run it in my 2000 toyota tacoma v6 4x4 if i go with 10w30? Or would 5w30 be better? Just curious.

    I went with 10w-30 and k&n oil filter. Did fine but it will be due for another oil change soon with 5w-30. Also having emissions issues for NOx its limit is 2.0000 and its running 3.2719. I have another post on this also any info helps i'd like to fix it myself.
