We have three Walmart Super Centers in my area here in Arkansas and they all carry huge oil selections. Everything you can think of except Havoline products.

Bryanccfshr, Thank you for that information. I appreciate it. Just out of curiosity, why are you running 0w40 in your application?

Originally Posted by PimTac The 0w20 is not going to cause chain wear. The inherent fear of thin oil amongst some throws common sense to the side. Today's modern oils are very good. The only reason I would go with a 5w30 in your Tundra would be if you were constantly hauling loads or towing a...

Originally Posted by Bryanccfshr I can but I won't rob you of the process of doing your own research on timing chain wear and causes. I am not a librarian and won't waste time countering appeals to authority. If you are concerned and curious you can search about timing chain wear/elongation and...

I don't understand. I just purchased a new 2019 Toyota Tundra and it has this same engine. It has 0w20 in it from the factory. I have no odd sounds at all. Dead silent, buttery smooth. Is this something that happens as this engine ages? If my 5.7 doesn't make any weird sound with 0w20, then why...

You can have the same effect without a tune or plugin hardware by driving in M5. That's what I do.

Is the Mobil 0w20 EP or AFE?

Originally Posted By: tig1 I have used 0-20AFE for years in both Ford engines at 10K OCIs. Great results. PM me and I would be glad to send a pic of the valve train on the Fusion at 195K after a VC replace. But what do you think in comparison to EP, though?

What is the real difference between these two as far as protection and fuel economy go? They are both the same price. For a 7,500 to 10,000 mile OCI which would be the better option? If they are both stout enough for that kind of run and the price is the same, then what is the difference? Does...
