    Yeah it's like when you see loose when they meant lose or vice-versa. You know what they meant.

    0w-20 makes no sense for ca trucks. I’m thinking to run with 10w-30 might be a better fit and not as heavy. Wonder if anyone one tried this grade in warmer climates ?

    I have used 0w20,5w30 and 0w40. Probably go with 10w30 boxed Havoline synthetic next.

    Anything other than stock will rub. Toyota says this is normal. As for MPGs, probably gain 5 mpg regardless of lift height.

    You gave it up? I still crank them every time I see one. Now I race my son to see who can get the oil to the top fastest. As interesting as the marketing is, I have never bought a single lucas product nor have I ever been motivated considering the number of spins I have on that device.

    I'm a Mobil 1 guy. Served me well in previous Toyota's. 171K on my Solara when I sold it and it ran like a top.

    No offence, but these data points ^^^ mean absolutely nothing at all. Not a single thing.

    I did 580,000km (360k miles) running no-name “motomaster” dino-oil from Canadian Tire in a 1991 Corolla. When I gave the car to my younger brother for free, it was still running perfectly, and served him well for a few years, until he too passed it on.

    Based on my observation. Motomaster Dino Oil is far superior to Mobil 1. I guess so?

    I use Mobil 1 because of the $12 Rebates on the 5 Quart jugs.
