South Louisiana climate
Manual calls for 5/30, I have be using 5/30 Mobil 5000 with OCI 5000. I am in the pest control business. I put about 30K miles a year on a vehicle. I drive 20 miles into town, then about every hour or so, I start it up and drive for 10-15 mins. After doing that during the day, I drive 20 miles back home. I also would like to keep this truck until the frame rusts apart.
What would be the oil and OCI of choice for my needs? Would Shell Rotella Syn 5/40 or the Dino 15/40 Rotella work? Or does the OEM's 5/30 spec need to be followed on the Tundra?
I did a search and didn't find exactly what I was looking for, so forgive me if this has been discussed before.
Great site,
