Oil change

what is the best type oil for a 2000 Tundra Limited with 217,000 miles

 

Your going to find everyone has their own opinion so there is no right answer. That being said I use 10W30 high mileage Havoline because it comes in 6 qt containers at the price other brands sell for 5 qts. But any name brand oil is good to use in my opinion.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! .

And welcome!

Also, you may have missed the unspoken forum rule that new members MUST post pics of their trucks (ok, not really a rule, but...)

'High mileage' type as others said already, your favorite brand all the way from WallyWorld full synthetic to Royal Purple Pricey stuff!

 

Vegetable oil.

5w30 with oem filter = pretty straight forward.

 

Also should consider sending a sample off for testing. Check out https://www.blackstone-labs.com/

 

The correct type

 

^This...Yogi Berra couldn’t have said it better.

 

Never heard of that. How you liking it? How’s engine performance and MPG?

 

I like it. Haven't noticed anything worse or better than using Castrol or Valvoline which were the brands that I used to use. MPG seems to be the same. I never check it so I can't give you any figures. It's only available through Walmart right now that I'm aware of.

 

On Thundercloud Island, we call it Maize.

 

Whatever the dealer uses when they change my oil.....if it's good enough for a yota when its built, it's good enough when it blows up is my theory lol.
