Good evening,
My 93 4Runner has 110,00 miles on it, this is my backup car, I don't drive it much. I live in California, it doesn't get cold. I've been using 10w30 oil in this SUV. I'm going to switch to Valvoline Max Life oil (red jug). I plan to purchase 10w30 oil on Amazon but it's $ 29.00, the 5w30 is $ 17.00. Not sure of the price difference between the 2 weights. Is it safe to put 5w30 in the SUV or should I stick with the 10w30. I could also purchase Valvoline 10w30 Synthetic blend (silver jug) for $17.00 too. The owner's manual recommends 10w30 but the manual is over 27 years old and things change. Thank you for any input.
