Not many UOA's on this engine but wondering what you think i can run my current oci at. Castrol Edge 5w40 (circa 2018, titanium iirc) 75 city/ 25 hwy miles olm came on at 3500ish 15%

was gonna try but the reviews are clear that you cant even finish a can because the nozzle clogs. too bad

google search does amazing things! Because anything bmw labeled is overpriced and/or there are better options.

How about Valvoline maxlife atf in this application? Looking for a suitable off the shelf replacement. Not boutique oil.

Where are you finding the best price on Maxlife now, my trip to walmart yesterday said they no longer carry it.

Just another toyota engine doing awesome toyota stuff...go 9000.

Thinking of 3 qts edge HM ti 10w-40 with 3 qts of Rotella t5 10w30. Both have very strong ad packs. I dont want to waste an expensive oil like this edge for low mileage....thoughts?

haha this is very true. i do go through vehicles very fast and always got something to throw it in.

And can i reuse my filter, fram ultra, it probably has 2k miles with 3 track days.

Time for another oil change. This last batch doesnt have much for miles but its almost been two years and ive had the valve covers off so there probably other insoluables in there. I know i didnt listen too well last time becuase i was in a time crunch but no hurry now. Suggestions? 12 PU 0-40...

30k on a single can style filter sounds very odd. Is this a new thing? BTW doublehaul, why such a thick oil in a new toyota engine when they keep speccing lower viscosities?

Sell both, get a 4runner. done!

So i did an oil change for a buddy on his 4.7 v8 jeep. Talked him into going synthetic because these engines are [censored] to begin with. Spilled a little bit on my floor and threw some absorbant kitty litter on it. went back to clean it up a few days later and was surprised by the consistancy...

cant use older 9mm mags, im out.
