Sorry if this question might have already been asked an answered, but I couldn't find the answer using the search function. My 2019 4Runner spec's 0w-20 SN oil, reading through the forum seems like the Toyota 0w-20 SN oil is a good choice to continue to use. I ordered a case of 12 bottles...

Not worrying about warranties or a slight MPG hit is there any reason to not to standardize and run Mobil One 0W-40 Euro across my fleet of seven "standard - non exotic" cars and trucks? The highest oil spec car that we own requires VW 502.00/505.00 and with M1 0W-40 Euro being less than $23.00...

Prior to 2016 Nissan recommended 5w-30 for the VK56VD 5.6l V8 used in Nissan's and Infinity's. In 2018 Nissan changed the recommended viscosity to 0w-20SN for all VK56VD 5.6l V8's. I just purchased a new Titan XD with this engine that will be a long term truck for me. The use case of this...

I have a first-gen Ford EcoBoost 3.5L V6 in a 2015 Expedition, the owner's manual states to follow the oil life monitor, but I run an OCI of 5,000 miles, as there are known issues with extending OCI's that have manifested with the timing chain - the chain becomes worn and stretched. As the chain...
