Ignore the negative nancies. Try this calculator; Widman was a member for many years but haven't seen him in...seemingly forever. Should give a good indication in answer to your question. https://www.widman.biz/English/Calculators/Calculators.html

Chris -- your first description sounded totally normal; but now with more info about it, it does sound like there was either CO2 in the house or paint offgassing, or both. Glad you got out of there without any injuries; and Yes, totally agree with notifying the owners.

Sounds normal for a first day at higher altitude. Our home is at 8500', we tell visitors "breathe more, move slower" The night sleep feeling of strangling is common.

265/70R17 is what we have on our '20. They fit without any rub anywhere, and look good. A super compromise between the factory 245 donuts and the 285s (which I thought put a lot of stress on components) Speedo is, *maybe* 1 mph off, not enough to worry about. Also, 265/70s come with some of...

Looks good; I'd want to try a 5w30 and compare tesults.

All spares in our fleet are same age as the other 4 on the vehicle. I rotate 5, always. With matching wheels - purchased if necessary to replace steelies. Don't want either: 1) a substandard tire when I really need it, Or 2) to waste good money on a tire then never use it.

You answered your own question: The Pentastar was designed for 5w30. The engineers didn't necessarily write the current owner's manual, it was written with CAFE in mind.

4.0 can use up to a 50 grade overseas. So a 40 would be great. Will be going 0w40 in my '13 FJ next change myself; been on 5w30 until now.

I lived in Glasgow for 4-1/2 years. Jan/Feb temps get down to the -20s F regularly at night and sometimes colder. So if you will ALWAYS have it plugged in you can use the 15w. But - and it's a big one - IF you get caught out parked and not plugged in, you will likely be stranded if it gets too...

Sorry to hear Adam. My father passed beyond a few years ago. Hang in there, remember the good things and look forward.

I may have missed it, but what vehicle and what interval to go to 400k?

I'd go 15w40, 5w40 if driven in temps under 10°F. It's port injected and NA, so no LSPI worries; a solid diesel oil will work well.

Please see my other posts about this situation; taking that battery out of the loop is probably your best option… Several videos on YouTube how to do it.

When I lived up in Glasgow, started with 5w30 but ended up using Amsoil 0w-30. https://www.amsoil.com/p/amsoil-signature-series-0w-30-100-synthetic-motor-oil-azo/ Good for the entire 6+ months of winter, and really helped - a lot - with cold starts. Shipped to my door, which was nice...
