[akuska]

Jetta GLI (2.0T) - 5w40 meeting VW 502 00 (5w30 or 0w40 also OK as long as it meets VW 502 00).

 

[Matt89]

2006 Civic & CR-V. 5W-20 on the cap and in the engine.

 

[Hirev]

06 Toyota Tundra oil cap 5w 30. Owners manual 5w 30. Goes on to state 10w 30 may be used but to change it out next oil change.

 

[Titan]

Subaru Forester. 5w-30 on cap and in engine. Would like to thin that down a bit, and am watching UOA's of someone with the same engine to see how their results go before I do it.

2006 Honda Ridgeline V6-VTEC, 5w20 on cap and in manual.

 

[Cutehumor]

2006 Pontiac Vibe 1.8L 5w30 on cap/manual; 5w30 in engine

 

[wmor51]

06 suzuki aerio sx 5w30 or 10w30 but 5w30 recomended.

 

[Leonardo629]

2006 Civic coupe, Honda USA recommends 5W20, but Honda Japan recommends 0W20 for best fuel economy, so I'm using Mobil 1 0W20.

 

[Matt89]

I should add that (after much deliberation, imagine that) I will also go with M1 0W-20 in my Hondas due to numerous short trips and my impending move to a 'colder' climate.

I realize this basically invalidates my last 37 posts, but for BITOG that is not uncommon.

 

[kozman01]

06 Acura TSX
Manual/cap advise 5w-30
EXACT same car/engine in Europe 0w-40
I want to use the 0w-40 but I don't want a problem with any warranty issues so I'll stay with the 5w-30.

 

[Intelman34]

2006 VW Beetle TDi: Elf 5w40 505.01

 

[ChromiumSteel]

'06 Scion xB. 5W-30. Going synth @ 5000 mi.

 

[Highroller]

'06 Nissan Titan, manual recommends dino 5w-30, but im currently using mobil1 TSUV 5w-30 syn.

 

[Bryanccfshr]

2006 Toyota Tacoma
2006 Toyota 4 runner
1grfe v-6
Sl 5w30 ISLAC energy conserving for 5k 6 mo intervals

I will be using Tropartic 5w30 It will be interesting how the two engines will track for me since the Tacoma has a tow package and an oil cooler and the 4 runner does not.
