Oil for a 2003 Acura TL-S

[Bryanccfshr]

Your Toyota 3.4 has an oil to coolant heat exchanger*you can see it if you look to the rear of the block, it's parrallel to the oil cooler). The oil doesn't much exceed coolant temperature even when in 4wd pushing deep sand for 60 miles with the temps in the 90's. So being in FLorida Really isn't a strain on the engine..it's a luxury.

I think RL 5W-20 or Amsoil 0W-30 are both great choices for the 10K or 12 month interval and would provide the best protection and best tolerate high temps and hard driving.

Nothing wrong with M1 0W-20 / 5W-20, or Pennzoil Platinum 5W-20 at 7K OCI's

Ok I'm confused if I buy over $100 then it best to be a preferred customer, but then do I pay for shipping from WA? Pablo can you set me straight.
