2024 Toyota Tundra 30K Out dealer bulk 0W20 In Mobil One EP 5W30 5 qrts and 2.5 qrts EP 0W20. Both are the 25K version. I was surprised how quickly oil pressure builded up vs just the 0W20. Seems quiter too. I’m running this combo till all the 0W20 is used.

Although I don’t have my 2015 Tacoma with 137K anymore due to hail damage. I sure hope using Amsoil XL kept the ring packs just as clean as the timing chain. Didn’t burn a drop, oci was 5500-6500 miles.

I ran their XL line and extended line for 5500-6500 miles on my beloved 2015 Tacoma 4.0L with 137K. Can get any cleaner than this.

I’ve been using AMSOIL Signature Series 0w20 till about 80K, AMSOIL Signature Series 0w30 for the last 15K in my wife 19 Pilot. VCM is disabled. She runs what fuel she can get her hands on. Every oil change I run Redline SL1 fuel system cleaner. Filter media looks fine with no carbon buildup.

Back when I had a 2015 Tacoma 4.0L. It had 137K. I ran Amsoil XL and extended life oil, middle tier. 5500-7500 oci. Can’t get any cleaner than this.

Take it a step further with HPL. I’ve been a Amsoil user since 2004 90% of the time. Furthest I’ve gone was 10K. I don’t try to push the envelope. My wife’s Pilot follows the OLM, 5500-7500 miles and see AMSOIL Signature Series 0w20 till 80K. Now uses 0W30.

I worked with a guy who believed any synthetic could go 15K or more. He ran the cheapest synthetic he could get. He used to be an auto mechanic in his early days. He thought I was nuts changing it at 5000-7500 miles, lol.

Here’s your sign

I’ve got enough 0W20 and 5W30 to make a franken brew. Both are Mobil 1 Extended Performance. It’ll be about 4 oil changes worth. 1 jug of 5W30 and 2.5 arts of 0W20. Till all the 0W20 is used up. This will be going in the Tundra…unless my original engine has other plans.

In Dave’s video he mentions the engine could double its horsepower.

That’s not a bad idea.

After all this I’ll switch to 5W30 or even 0W30. Going back to my OG AMSOIL Signature Series. I have two oil changes worth of 0W20 EP. Hopefully by then my Tundra will either have its engine replaced or their data says it won’t. So far no metal is present in the oil filter.

That’s what she said.

Where did they say this?

This is the first time I’ve seen a break down and explanation on this engine. Definitely keeping oci to 5K and use quality oil.
