However, it hated the mountains. Any kind of decent hill would require a few down shifts. More often than not, I'd be in 2nd with the gas pedal floored just to maintain speed. This was with the 4:11 gears, too.
But yeah, 10w30 will be fine.
This isn't too bad really. Many folks always say to buy the 4.0 because the fuel economy will be the same with (of course) the increased power. I've never driven a 2.5 so I have no idea.
They probably add the lift and tires and wonder where the power went.. Lol.
