Oil preferences!!!

Hey guys I have a question???? What is everyone’s oil preferences? This is my first tundra and it has 20k on her. I have wrote a thread on my truck sounding like a Diesel engine and have seen people recommending a different brand of oil?? If I can get some input on this it would be great. I love my truck and want to treat her right lol

 

I've used Pennzoil Platinum and also Walmart Supertech 0w-20 and can't tell any difference other than price of the oil. Neither changed the diesel sound in my truck or changed mileage or performance...

 

This has to be bait.

 

Brand does not matter as long as it is a name brand. Proper viscosity matters along with changing it at the correct intervals as outlined in the owners manual. I have never heard of an engine failing because of oil brand.

I did search and even went on google, thanks for being a smartass.

 

Yep search option leaves a lot to be desired... even if you used advanced options..

That said and I've been using Mobil 1 extended life for all my previous vehicles and will continue with the Tundra.

Walmart had best prices...

Mobil 1 here as well, both in my Tundra and The Woman's Corolla S.

 

Oil threads should be killed without prejudice.

Answer. Whatever you want using the manual and common sense. When is the last time you've heard of an engine being destroyed by oil.

 

Whatever the shop puts in

 

2 gallons of WD-40, and a can of STP.

 

Ok let’s kill this thread, man I’m new here to this forum. Almost mistaken for a ford site, to many people talking shit! I understand what oil viscosity is and what it does ( I am a journeyman millwright) I’m just new to Toyota and wanted so insight.

 

Ahhh don’t sweat it. It happens. When using the search function, there have been so many threads done in so many ways with so many different titles it can be difficult to isolate what you’re looking for. Try different phrases and ways to search. You may have to comb through many different threads as sometimes the search function will just pick out your specific phrase and it will just be in a random thread somewhere.
Here is my search for oil viscosity.

This one came up under the sub forum performance and tuning.

Since no criteria or other "boundaries" were noted by the OP then my answer to my preference is this: Royal Purple. Once you go Purple you never ever ever ever ever go back.

 

Thanks for your input guys, I know I should look into the search engine more but there are new members here that may have new information. Thanks for the knowledge guys, now just trying to search why it sounds like I have pistol slap lol

 

I have always been partial to mobil. I put it in all my vehicles. Don't know why, just do. Half the time i buy Toyota oil from the stealership because it is equal or less than the cost of mobil.

 

Just use 3-in-1.

 

Worth the read.

Stick around here Cody....the best Tundra forum. Some of us can get sarcastic at times.. but not me....ok other members bring it on....heh...heh..

 

I like Mobile 1. I have used it in all my vehicles.

 

NAPA Synthetic Oil and NAPA Gold Filter (it's Valvoline really).

Mobile 1, cause Costco has it on sale. 5w20 cause it quiets my startup lifter noise in the summer time.

 

The noise you’re hearing is due to an aluminum block and overhead cams. It’s just a noisy engine. Nothing to worry about.
