    With all the new lawsuits and opinions what is the most recent oil weight recommendation other than 0/20 for a 21 V8 Tundra. If this has been covered, please refer me to a link as it does not come up in a search. Thanks

    Kirkland 0w20, yes Costco oil. Half the price of the auto parts store, good enough to get me to over 300k at the moment. Been using it since 2011.. look up project farm on the youtubes.

    Mobil 1 5-20. No issues at almost 90k. Run it in the tundra, Durango, and zero turn. Don’t overthink this.

    Lots of options. My 2021 has 37K so I thought by now there would be a (one) recommendation that made all happy.

    I prefer canola oil for its high smoke point.
