Best 5w30 oil for tundra ?

I live in AZ which is hardly ever below 60 or even 70

 

Amsoil

 

OP you’ve come to the right place. If there’s one thing everyone agrees on in this forum it’s what weight oil to use and what type of oil to use. I suspect you’ll have a definitive answer in no time

 

Best? Subjectively I’ll agree with Amsoil. $$$

Preferred, 5w-30 Pennzoil ultra platinum. 5k OCI.

 

Kirksoil 10W-40 for maximum bearing and cylinder wall protection.

2500 mile OCI

 

20w50. Change it once and drive the Wifes car everywhere. Don't even start the Tundra after the oil change. That causes excess wear. Your engine will last forever.

 

I was using Pennzoil Ultra Platinum but it's got pretty expensive. I do 5k OCI so I'm going to be switching to Kirkland.

 

Noticed that too (on Amazon?), Walmart online has it for $89 for a 3pk.

 

In AZ I would use 10w30 if not 5w40.

Amsoil changed formula around 2012, it's not what it used to be. Only 10w30 is still the old formula, I think?

 

Use whatever ya want, it doesn't matter. Just change it regularly.

 

Good job guys. Made it all the way around the horn on the first page. Can close this one down now. Or run it for the next 32 pages…..

 

Only 32?

 

Pages, years or brands of oil?

 

I recommend using a degreaser every other oil change. Helps keep the engine clean on the inside.

 

Costco Kirkland for the win.. 5W-30, also just change it every 5K.

 

Penzoil Ultra Platinum

 

The oil has detergents

 

Supertech is better than Amsoil.

 

Shots fired.

 

Can the engine tell the difference between the best oil and midrange oil if both are changed every 5k miles?

 

I prefer Simple Green. It comes in 2 gallon jugs and two jugs puts you squarely in the operating range on the dipstick. For even better cleaning, reverse the battery terminals and run the engine backwards. Caution: Do this life hack only on the spring or fall equinox lest upon returning your battery terminals to the correct position after the degreaser flush you have a 50/50 chance of your truck waking up thinking it's in the Southern hemisphere and Google maps verbal prompts are in an Australian accent. Cool for a while but it does get old.

 

Pennzoil Platinum or Ultra in 10w30

 

Amsoil SS if money is no issue
Mobil one if you want to save money
Kirkland oil if your cheap

And from what I have seen and read 0w20 seems to be what was put in the million mile tundras, so is thicker really better...

 

I am deeply saddened by this semi-serious, half-hearted (and other hyphenated descriptions) recommendation.
I fully expected to see a variation of Spraynard's tribologist approved formulation of -20W60 whale sperm oil humanely harvested from ethically sourced humpbacks.

You're slipping man. You feeling alright?

 

This!!!!

 

Nope

 

There is a Pennzoil rebate at the moment for PP and PUP which makes it at or below the Kirksoil price when it's on sale (at least for me at Walmart). Just note the valid vendors (Walmart in-store OK, WM.com no bueno).

 

Mobil 1 tastes the best.

 

Based on the reviews I've seen/read, Valvoline Restore and Protect seems to be the new king on the block.
