Seriously though, maybe rebuilt engine. Poor job of applying form-a-gasket.

Some one likes sticking their blue nitrile glove in tight places where said glove does not belong. Reminds me of a doctor I know.

1) Vehicle: Almost 15 year old Toyota(not picky oil-wise) with 250k miles(probably broken in by now). 2) Location: central MS, average low above freezing(33*F) in coldest month(Jan) and average high ~90*F for warmest three months(June, July, Aug). You want 10k for OCI and to use an easily...

And with your ambient temps in MS similar to mine you will be fine with 10w30. The above mentioned Toyota I bought new 11/'96 with 11 miles on the odometer. It has not seen anything lighter than 10w30 and many fills with HDEO(5w40 & 15w40). Runs great, uses no oil.

Considering your location(GA) I would say yes, use a heavier oil like 10w30 or xw40. I am sure someone will be along to say a 0w20 will be better.

Oil is never fully removed in an oil change. OMs would list: dry fill, oil change w/filter and oil change or some such. So you have something like: 6 qts dry fill(new/rebuilt engine), 5 qts oil and filter change or 4.5 qts oil change only. I have never read a manufacturer state only one brand...

Ravenol ECS 0w20 is 7.4 but another Ravenol product not yet stateside is lower I think. There is a post in the VOA section IIRC.

As others have said, you will be fine using a full synthetic. I would not pay a premium for RP but would use a high mileage version of Mobil 1, Pennzoil, ect.(which ever synthetic is the best deal) in 5w-30 weight every 5k. Given the cars mileage also consider a coolant flush, transmission...
