When I got my 96 Tacoma with the 5VZ, the PO had put in Mobil One 10w40 high mileage, and at first it seemed to lose little to no oil. However, further and further into my 5k mile interval, it’s seemed to start losing more and more, to the point where I have to top it up every few days. I see a bit of seepage underneath but nothing major, which makes me think it must be internal.
Someone on the TacomaWorld forum said the heavier oil could’ve caused damage resulting in an increase in oil consumption: is there anything to this? I already bought another 6 quarts of the same stuff so I’m wondering if I should exchange it for some 5w-30.
