0w-40 for everything

Ok so someone suggested an HDEO and another suggested 5w-40. What is the benefit of those over the 0w-40? I am not looking to extend mileage and even the GTO, which gets beat on, only sees 5500 RPM or so. Changed every year with less than 3k miles on the oil.
Stick with your original plan. Rotella T6 is no longer certified for gasoline engine usage by Shell. The M1 0w40 covers all your bases and is available nearly everywhere.
Yes it seems perfect for my needs. Would feel a little more comfortable towing on a hot day near the end of an OCI with the 2500HD.
That's a lot of pages for a question that could have been just answered with: "yes M1 0w40 will work great in all your vehicles without any real downsides"
Have you ever heard of "the internet" by chance?
yes of course, i was joking too!!!It was meant in jest. Should have added aor something at the end there.
E don’t have that here in USA. Or it’s really rare. Last I spotted it it was at Autozone
Its still a higher viscosity oil. Yes, they will both move. But a 20 grade oil will be easier to pump, quicker to get moving, and heat up faster than a 40.

No it will not heat up faster.
I disagree. The faster it moves through the engine, the quicker it will warm up. It wont be a significant difference.

yes the 0W-40 will handle all of your vehicles just fine. here's what toyota recommends for the 5th gen 4Runner for the Puerto Rico market.
Yes, the 5th Gen 4Runner that arrives in PR is outfitted with the ancient, extremely reliable 1GR-FE engine. obviously in America they only recommend the 0W-20

thank you!! very informative.
No, most of the heating in the oil comes from the shear in the bearings. A higher viscosity oil will always heat up faster. If you are short tripping and you want the oil to heat up, you’re better off with a higher grade.
And honestly, the oil will move through the engine at pretty much the same speed. Certainly on the pressurized side.
SAPS is always a concern, but more of a concern for oil burners. All engines consume some quantity of oil.
I love this idea. I run 0W-40 in everything but the M3 to keep things simple, too.
Glad you could jump in and settle the issue for us.
honestly no one cares about this side debate ...
