    This thread is probably gonna entice some swamp monsters out of their holes, and why not, but I googled the thing and am happy to report my google research has narrowed it down to the following 4 types:

    0w20
    5w20
    5w30
    10w30

    ...but I will look at the oil cap as well. Thanks. I'm used to working on motorcycles and motorcycle manuals usually spell it out clearly without all the fuss. Cheers.

    You could take up whaling if you're fluent in Japanese and make the most baller engine oil ever.

    The 4.0 calls for 5W-30 in all but the most extreme of temp regions

    Open your hood and what does the oil cap say?

    Also check your manual for how much you'll need.

    I’m guessing in the 47 minutes since this thread started he hasn’t opened the hood and looked at the oil cap. :eek:

    From babies. QAnon has been shedding light on it and someday the elitist petrochemists and oil companies will be caught! Have you ever even thought about what Mobil 1 means? It’s a code from Q!

    Molecularly engineered
    Oil refined from
    Babies, for use in
    Internal combustion engines
    Like the ones in our Tacomas
    1 year old viscosity

    We must save the babies from being made into oil! Please share and shed the light on this atrocity! Do it for the babies!

    Infant liposuction, sounds like an LA thing.
    But babies are a renewable resource! Humping can occur indefinitely.
