Hello all, I am new member of this forum. A big thank you to the admin for accepting my registration.
I see there is a great deal if good information here to learn from
I am hoping to find a good weight of motor oil that will work in all three of my vehicles so I can just purchase a couple of cases of the same grade, some filters and go to town so to speak! I own a 2006 Honda Civic 1.8l, 2004 Toyota 4Runner 4.0l, and a 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 5.2l. I realize the Honda calls for a 5w20, but from reading, I could probably get away just fine by using 5w30 oil (please correct me if I'm wrong) the 4Runner calls for 5w30, and the Dodge calls for 10w30 or 10w40. I am curious if there would be any ill effects to any of the vehicles if I were to go with a decent synthetic or synthetic blend 5w30 for all three of them.
although since I get to do the maintenance on everyone's vehicles, my daughters car is a 2006 VW Jetta TDI 1.9l which uses a special 5w40 oil I doubt I can get away with running Rotella T6 5w40 in the Honda! but that's a whole other game. let me know what you guys think
