    King 3.0's and supercharger. If you hear it rub, floor it until it self clearances or grenades. Make sure you oil the rotors with 0w-20 though; they're tighter tolerances so 30w10 won't work.

    Ok. I don’t know if it’s a stock long block or not. My point is that if it blew up it probably wasn’t the oil.

    well I have no doubt that we'll never find out the truth about what really happened, or if the truck ever does get fixed, and Bobby the OP will never reply to this post again. I think this must be a Rod Sterling Twilight Zone story.

    10w30's are pretty damn stout, I'd highly doubt it sheared down to a 20wt...

    Oh, no test needed, 97.5% of us will admit we are drunk

    the other 2.5% are accounts owned by daddy master tech. Here to preach the gospel of Oil.

    PS - This thread can’t die until we hit 20 pages.

    Generations to come will stumble upon this thread when researching what oil to put in their truck if they just moved to Ohio from Mexico.

    We need them to be informed.

    Assisting in the quest for 20 pages. 10w-30 cannot blow up a Tacoma engine. 20w-50 might. Clearly from the other failures, the engine was junk from the start or damaged early in it's life
