15W-40 in new 4Runner

[rummy]

i'm about to do my 3rd oil change on my new 4Runner with 2,000 miles on the clock. and their is nothing you oil nerds can do to stop me.

15W-40 T6 is the flavor of choice.

will inform back when the engine blows up and Toyota denies my warranty.

They will if they find out the wrong type of oil was used lol.

Why so heavy on the cold end? U live at the equator?

Those engines only last past 50K miles running 75w-90. Who runs that watered-down 15w-40 junk?

They might give you a warranty with that LOL. I used to work for Toyota some things they will warranty some they won’t really just depends on warranty person.

650 mile OC's. You'll do roughly 15 oil changes for every 1 with my vehicles.

i will play 4D chess and say that someone in wal mart must have put that heavy weight oil in the 0w-20 vanilla oil jug.

and ask questions like "whats a 40 weight oil?"

"arent they all the same"

What would be interesting is to see the differences in oil pressure readings between the different grades.

I wonder if oil pressure is something that is measured as a value by the ECU on our trucks, and could be displayed by a device that would plug into the OBD port, like the Scangauge.

I know theres an idiot light that would come on if it dropped below a certain threshold.

What’s the point of this thread? It should be in Off Topic if it’s just to make jokes and post memes.

 

[kschachn]

for the sake of science i will gladly blow this motor up to prove that Toyota builds the best cars in the world.

fight me!

More evidence it belongs in another topic. Perhaps contact a moderator and have it moved.

Or who made you court jester in what should be a technical topic?
