Odd question...this isn't really meant to be another "what oil" thread. I just had a fishing trip with a full time fishing guide and, of course, I brought up motor oil to see what he uses.
1) He drives a 2019 Toyota Tundra w/ 5.7.
2) Oil specs 0w20
3) he tows 30k per year and a 6k pound center console boat is hooked up to the bumper 100% of the time.
4) he uses Castrol Edge (black bottle) 0w20
5) he changes it every 5k miles and gets his tires rotated at the same time.
6) LOTS of idle time and lots of highway miles
so, I realize that many people have favorite brands (me included) but was wanting to start a discussion to see if that severe of a use would alter your oil selection, and if so, what would you use? (for example...he uses Castrol Edge black bottle...would you use something like the Castrol Edge EP gold bottle or would you switch to something else altogether?)
I personally run RGT or TGMO in my Tundra, and would move to one of the more "extended drain" oils (Castrol Edge EP/Mobil 1 EP/Amsoil SS) with that much towing and idling.
just wonder what y'all would do.
