Hi everyone, I didn't know where to post this so I will try here. I bought this truck over a year ago with 237k Miles on her. It is a 4x4 toyota t100 that is NOT stock, I got her rust free for 3800$. I have done quite a bit of maintenance on her so that the engine, transmission 4x4, cooling...

Howdy all, wife and I are looking for a place to start our family (our little girl is due in less than 3 months!) and after posting another thread a while back about where to think about moving, we have decided that Salt Lake City sounds like a good place for us for a while But of course we...

Has there been a conclusion if for a short tripping vehicle it is better to have a thin oil since the vehicle will never be up to operating temperature or something more like a 5w40 HDEO that can "handle" the fuel dilution better as well as a high dosage of ZDDP for start up wear? My vehicle...

Hey everyone, so I am trying to convert my fleet to one oil grade and I am a thin oil fan. 5w20 vs 0w20 in a start stop engine: My assumption is that once the engine is up to temperature, when the engine shuts down for a minute-5 minutes the oil wont cool down enough to where the viscosity...

Alright so ive been searching these forums for the answer to this and I can't seem to find it. I keep reading that 0w20 is more fuel efficient that 5w20 and when I was new here that made sense to me (thinner on start up) but I just bought some Pennzoil Ultra 5w20 and wanted to use it in my...

Hey everyone, so I bought a 5 gallon pail of Bio Synthetic oil by RLI in the 5w20 grade, how can I find more info about this oil? I did a search on the forum and couldnt find much. Just found specs and I have no idea how to read them and if this oil is any good? I am looking for something...

Hi all I just purchased a 5 gallon pail of RLI (renewable lube) 5w20 for 75$ and I am used to using oil in quart or regular jugs. How should I go about using this oil so I don't spill it everywhere! Transfer in via a funnel to jugs and try not to spill?
